Elk Township board memorializes three resolutions, approving subdivision, variance and Copart site plan
Summary
The board adopted three resolutions Aug. 21, 2024: a minor subdivision for Steve Considine, a bulk variance for Elrene Dabney and preliminary/final site-plan approval for Copart of Connecticut. Roll-call tallies and abstentions were recorded for each item.
The Elk Township Planning & Zoning Board on Aug. 21 adopted three resolutions that memorialize prior public hearings and record final votes on development applications.
Resolution 2024-11 granted a minor subdivision to Steve Considine for property at 111 Railroad Ave (Block 36, Lot 9), Application SD-24-02. Mr. Lucas moved to adopt the resolution and Mr. Goetsch seconded; the roll-call result was recorded as five in favor, none opposed and one abstention. Mr. Swanson abstained because he said he was not present at the earlier hearing when the application was considered.
The board next adopted Resolution 2024-12, granting a bulk variance to Elrene Dabney for property at 517 Empire Way (Block 29.08, Lot 2), Application ZB-24-03. Mr. Goetsch moved the adoption, Mr. Wolf seconded, and the vote was recorded as five in favor, none opposed and one abstention. As with the earlier item, Mr. Swanson abstained because he was not present at the prior hearing.
The board also adopted Resolution 2024-13, granting preliminary and final major site-plan approval to Copart of Connecticut, Inc. for property on Jacob Harris Lane (Block 66, Lot 1.04), Application ZB-24-02. Mr. Wolf moved the adoption and Mr. Goetsch seconded. The roll-call vote was four in favor, none opposed and two abstentions; Mr. Lucas and Mr. Swanson abstained because they were not present at the prior hearing on that application.
Each resolution was adopted by formal motion and roll-call vote and is recorded in the minutes. The minutes note the specific reasons given for abstentions (absence from the earlier hearing) and list the relevant block/lot identifiers and application numbers for each approval. The board did not take further substantive public testimony during the memorialization of these resolutions.
The board moved on to new-business items after the votes.
