Curbside and Sidewalk Waiver Approved for Seventh Street Property
The Joint Land Use Board considered a request for a curb and sidewalk waiver for a property located at 8017 Seventh Street in the AP (Agriculture Production) zone. The applicants, James and Anaisa Jackson, sought the waiver due to concerns about increased impervious material, impact on stormwater runoff, and the existing character of the quiet, narrow road with no other curbs or sidewalks. The board, after discussion and acknowledging the local road's narrowness and lack of existing sidewalks, voted to approve the waiver. The discussion also touched upon the extensive four-year process the applicants underwent with the Pinelands Commission for their single-family dwelling, which is accessory to agricultural production on their 22-acre property.
Lot Line Adjustments Approved for Two Properties
The Joint Land Use Board approved two resolutions concerning lot line adjustments. The first resolution pertained to Joseph Pino, applicant for a lot line adjustment for lots 4 and 13 at 9341 13th Street. The second resolution approved a minor subdivision for lot line adjustments for lots 19 and 20 for Ronald and Elizabeth Penza, located at 460B-466 South Chew Road, with no other improvements proposed.
