Driveway expansion for Bridal Collins remains on hold pending zoning official review of second shed and impervious coverage
Summary
The board placed the Bridal Collins driveway application on hold while the zoning official investigates whether a second shed and the resulting impervious-surface increase require further hearings or enforcement.
The Township of Washington Zoning Board discussed the driveway expansion application for Bridal Collins (Case ZB 25‑13) and determined the matter remains pending an investigation by the zoning official into two sheds on the property and whether their presence increases impervious coverage beyond allowable thresholds.
Board members reviewed an as‑built survey submitted by the applicant that showed impervious coverage at 35.9 percent, slightly above the 35 percent threshold cited in the current ordinance. Members said much of the applicant’s prior work predated a September 2024 ordinance change and might be grandfathered, but the addition of a second shed could change that assessment.
The board asked board counsel and staff to forward the issue to zoning official Joe (surname referenced in the record) for a written determination and requested a report back at the next meeting. If the zoning official determines the second shed or other features are out of compliance, the applicant may have to return for a hearing on those items. The board emphasized that any official finding must be in writing.
