- Meeting Overview:
In a recent Springfield Planning Board meeting, two applications for local business operations were approved, reflecting ongoing developments in the township’s commercial landscape. The board granted a waiver of the site plan and a parking variance for a new deli and mini-mart, which will sell dry goods and fresh fruit, among other items. Additionally, a conditional use application for a therapeutic massage business was approved, with conditions to ensure compliance with local regulations and standards.
The deli and mini-mart, identified in the application as 2245, sought relief from standard parking requirements, a matter resolved by its proximity to a municipal lot. The board’s discussion acknowledged this factor as pivotal in meeting the criteria for a waiver, which was reinforced by the township engineer’s confirmation of the business being within 500 feet of the lot. No public objections were raised, and the board members expressed no concerns, leading to a unanimous vote in favor of the application.
The second application of the night involved a new massage therapy business on Morris Avenue, Suite 305. This application, labeled 42024 S, required scrutiny as a conditional use to differentiate it from non-therapeutic massage establishments. The township’s engineer confirmed that the application met all conditions, including licensing and parking requirements. After confirmation that there were no public comments and the board had no further questions, the application was unanimously approved. The board also agreed to waive the reading of the resolution to expedite the business’s opening by May 6, contingent on obtaining the necessary township licensing.
