Planning board refers Amazon trailer complaint at 251 Monroe Ave. to borough construction officials
Summary
The board reviewed correspondence about Amazon trailers parked at 251 Monroe Avenue and decided the matter falls to the borough's construction/permit officials rather than the planning board; staff was directed to transmit that advice to the correspondent.
The Kenilworth Planning Board reviewed a letter from Lawrence Kelly concerning truck and trailer storage at 251 Monroe Avenue and concluded the issue is a construction/permit enforcement matter, not a planning board interpretation.
At the meeting the chairman recounted that the board's 2022 site plan and the approved storage areas concerned a prior applicant (Doka USA Limited) and that the trailer parking question in Kelly's June 2 letter appears to stem from a complaint received by the borough construction official. Planning staff and board counsel advised the board to refer enforcement questions to the construction official and zoning permit office.
The board instructed staff to send a letter to the correspondent and to the borough construction/permit department noting the board's position: that enforcement or interpretation of permit terms is the responsibility of the construction official and zoning staff and not the planning board unless the applicant seeks a change in an approved site plan or a new interpretation by the board.
Action: staff was directed to transmit correspondence stating that the planning board considers the matter between the property owner and the construction official; the board will consider site‑plan amendments only if the applicant formally returns requesting relief.
