The Applicant is seeking variances for the allowance of structures within the 200’ sideline setback where they are abutting a Residential Zone. The Applicant is also seeking variances in order to put in a 24’ wide access road, sidewalks, and other associated roadway construction.
Discussion:
Mr. Milner explained what the Planning Board was seeking. This should not be a ‘blanket variance’, but site specific. The Applicant needs to have 2 plans: a sub-division plan, and then the baseball field area. The sub-division plan needs to be dealt with first. If approved, then they would need to request the variances for the baseball fields. This may be done separately, or on the same evening.
Discussion on the plan of the areas showed to the Board, and the adjustments that need to be made.
In order that the Public Hearing be held at the next meeting (January 20, 2015) all the plans (separated: sub-division plan, baseball field plan), with all the associated measurements, and variances requested must be submitted by January 6, 2015.
Review for Baseball Legends was adjourned at 8:40 pm.
