I don't have any questions or statements about that other than they're noted. Um, do we need to do anything else with that? No. Move forward. Application BA24-09 227 Hamburger Turnpike. Please come
forward. Good evening. Good evening. My name is uh Douglas Doyle. I'm from the law firm of Dakota's Patrick Cole and Giblin. Uh we are here tonight before you for a what appears to be a use variance
because in the first floor of this building we're looking to put essentially a a form of a day spa by appointment only. It's not clear that that may or may not be permitted based on the definition. So it has been identified as a use variance. Um, we
were planning on prepping tonight the tenant that was going to be there because I believe I used to be a zoning board attorney in Midland Park for like 10 years and they called me today and said, "Well, we found out that the tenants's going to be wait. We have a letter." I said, "Yeah, my board would never accept a letter. That's not going to work. They're going to want to ask
how you operate, where you operate, how many employees you have." And I also reached out for your board attorney because some boards are real stickers. They want they want a planner here and they want to hear a professional opinion from a planner as to either why it isn't
a use variance and in fact you can squeeze under the definitions or it is a use variance and we meet the standards anyway. So I'm going to use this opportunity with the absence of the tenant to ask two things of you Mr. chairman and the board of attorney that the applicant be deemed uh complete in
that the board has jurisdiction that the proper notices have gone out and I'm going to ask you to kindly carry it one month at which time I will return with the tenants I will return with the engineer and I will return with a planner to give you their professional opinion as to why this use
by deeming and by the way um the same reason that your resolutions were a little bit late is the reason I did get a call from you I'll return it late this afternoon and I apologize No worries. Um um then that's no nobody's fault in mine. Um by the fact that you were scheduled today, you are you have been
deemed complete. I would say that the application has been opened. A notice is sufficient. And if you would so choose, they would just announce it would be carried to next month to the July meeting. No further notice will be provided or required. And that's July fourth Tuesday. Fourth Tuesday. Fourth
Tuesday. Okay. Crime group. Yeah. So, it's always the fourth Tuesday this time. July 22nd. Thank you all. Have a great evening. Stay cool. Thank you for your patience. I appreciate that. I hope I hope I
didn't screw up anybody's evening. So, thank you. Take care. Thank you. You don't even hear Carl. Any question? Uh, since there's no testimony, you want to stay or if you want to go, you can go. I think you're
good to go. Yeah, you're more than welcome. We'll see you July 22nd. Thank you, sir. Hopefully, you'll have their stuff together. I hope so, too. Thank you very much. He just told me right now. Yeah, it happens.
Very good. We have sometimes they never show up. So, it was good that they showed up. Thank you. Thank you for coming. I will talk to you. Happy 4th of July. Happy 4th of July.
Happy birthday to me. Oh, nice. Okay. Um, show my age. We're going to carry that. Okay. So, now we're going to move on to the resolutions. BOA25-03 430 Monontlair Avenue. Um, as it said, I
apologize for the late um production of other resolutions. Um, as you some of you may know the uh all the municipalities in the city of Jersey have had to adopt their housing element fair share plan part of the master plan. I've been swamped doing a bunch of those. That's not really a good excuse,
but it's the reason. I apologize. If I could go over each of one, I'll just tell you the conditions that are important. You know, this is the first one is 430 Monontlair. That's the use variance where they're replacing the commercial buildings. Um if you go to the conditions the
significant you know this is a um the use variance with a preliminary and final site plan to put up the new replacement building um along with some bulk variances the location of it close to landscaping um and the conditions B the permitted use of the property will
be limited to commercial utility storage discussed the cars other stuff no commercial utility storage that's all they're doing um that they have to comply with both of uh Kyle Her's letters this March 17th and the 18th. Uh D, he's going to contact the garbage haulers because they were coming before
7. There's some people that didn't like that. Um and they're also going to contact tenants and remind them no parking or storing of unlicensed vehicles uh on the burrow streets. Can't do anyway, but they're also going to tell the tenants. Yes,
that's I don't recall exactly, but I thought it was more than just unlicensed vehicles. I mean, no one could park unlicensed vehicles anywhere really. So, what is that? I thought it was something about they had only so many penants and
they had so many parking spots and they would I wrote that in the minutes too. I don't remember a lot but it was because of the previous 2016 resolution um was approved for for these uses for
um I guess it was for auto auto um auto repairs and stuff like that. This use was for only commercial utility storage and there what they presented was more like offices licensed plumbers to have an office and not really for utilities
and then there was a a problem with the variance the devariance um and then I think it came out that um that each tenant would have to go for a change of use when they apply a new new tenants would have to apply for um a
change of use. And then the zoning officer would then um make sure that that use is good for that zone and that um and the spaces of parking would be um you know whatever that that is for that
use allowed that's required as a matter of law. Anyway, anytime there's a change in use they have to go to S and he has to confirm that everything is everything is sufficient. But why even have this in here? I mean that's it's nothing to do with variance
as far as I'm parking unlicensed vehicles because that's that's a police matter. It's not a I understand that but that's what the board requested that that is what happened. I you know it's the same thing with garbage the same way the garbage haul it's you know it's a
condition safe go do that take care of a problem that's kind of ongoing. It was stated. It was stated during the testimony. During the testimony, we requested it. Was there a question
about handicap parking? This is the location where that's going to be compliance with the co tigers. Okay. That's in there. Yeah. Yeah. That's the only thing I recall.
It was a long week. It was long minutes. Yeah. I I think it was a complaint that was brought up by Randy. Yep. Um and there was some pretty long dialogue with regarding that and the owner was upset
that he was not um brought into it before the meeting so that he could address it uh with the tenant before it just not at the meeting. Right. That's what I recall that was part of the meeting with Randy. He's the one to blow
it up. A lot of the time Mr. Turo kept saying, "I wasn't aware of this. I wish you would have brought this to my attention." And then address and fix it. It was a long right long. So, as I recall and remember now, it it all comes down to the zoning board's
compliance on the usage that they have to screen on each new tenant application. Is that correct? Yes. Okay. Right. Sorry. No, no. That's why you get questions. And again, I got this out late. I apologize for part of your
questions are because this came out and I apologize for the minutes being late cuz I was just Okay. Okay. Um with um conversation and now understanding what the uh the role is of the uh the zoning
officer, um can I get a motion to accept the minutes? I mean, excuse me. The uh resolution. I'll make a motion. Big. I'll second it. Rowan. Roll call. Okay. Mr. Hunt. Yes. Mr. Bait. Yes. Miss
Curran. Mr. President. Mr. Cross. Yes. Mr. Berntock. Yes. Mr. Rowan. Yes. Mr. Mr. Bake. Yes. Mr. Fagula. Yes. And Mr. Devanti. Yes. Okay.
Okay. Resolution BO A25-05 60 Lennox Avenue in Pont Lakes. Again, the um this is for the uh bulb variances, the sideyard setbacks, the addition to the home and the um signal and the garage. Um they're really going
up. So the variances are staying the same. They're going up. This is the condition where there's discussion maybe they're going to put in dormers and they are prohibited from putting in dormers on the side where they're 2.87 ft from from the property line. They have to do it on the conforming side of the
building. That was the the the major condition. They also stated and it's on the record no intention they're not going to finish it, but um if they put on dormers, they're going to they can't put them on the side with the bailance. Okay. Any
questions from the board? None. Can I get a motion to accept the minutes? Let me have the resolution. I I do have a question. Yes, I in response to questions Mr. Marshon testified the act will remain
unfinished. Um, and I believe we spoke about this briefly that this is not a deed restriction. It has every person as the title transfers. This is going to be a record in the zoning office. Is that correct? Yes. And
they have to refer to that. Yes. And they are by it being in there. They are bound by Old Testament. They said they're not going. Okay. I'll make sure the south knows that. No more motion. Sorry. That's okay.
Anybody else? No. Can I get a motion to accept the resolution? Oh, yeah. So moved. What's that? I like how you say it. So yep,
Mr. Hun. Yes. Mr. Abate. Yes. Miss Curran present. Yep. Mr. Cross. Yes. Mrs. Btock. Yes. Mr. Rowan. Yes. Mr. B. Yes. Mr. Fagula. Yes. And Mr. Devanti?

That's $12,000. They didn't want to deny that. No, they didn't know why. I just got kicked back. No. So, I'm going to try again. I don't know if you know anything, Bob. No, I'll find out tomorrow.
That's this morning, though. Okay. Find out why. And that was it. There was nothing there. Just, you know, it was all business rediscussing. In the bridge that they're doing behind um Max's, do you have any news on that
one? That's being worked on too, right? But that's that's going back and forth though. That's not set yet. Yeah, it's not finished. Yeah. Yeah, there was, we did briefly talk about it. I know Michael mentioned it in his report. Um,
there were, you know, we had to wait cuz we had a fine we had to pay with D. So, there was some things we had to clear because the usage for that property, um, and a few other things. I think now we're probably in the clear right now. Um, but that's probably as much as I
have. I know we had to pay. um they find us for something but I should get more. Okay. Okay. Any other things anybody wants to bring up?
N I was going to say just to remind every well two things. The uh flood hazard permit has been uh sent to the county uh regarding the DOS highway project. So now the design county now has what they need. They're going to put it out to design and bid for the Dallas Highway
