Planning board grants conditional waivers to allow public hearing on Block 21 Lot 523 application
Summary
The board granted temporary and conditional waivers that allow a development application for Block 21, Lot 523 (6th Street) to be scheduled for a public hearing provided outstanding items (title search, easement copies, and map signature blocks) are submitted at least two weeks before the hearing.
The Frenchtown Planning Board voted Jan. 6 to grant a set of waivers for the application at Block 21, Lot 523 (6th Street) so the applicant may be scheduled for a public hearing, conditioned on delivering outstanding administrative materials within two weeks.
Engineering review (Clerico) recommended granting temporary waivers for items the applicant provided the day of the meeting (utility/tax payment certifications), a permanent waiver for the LOI requirement, and conditional waivers for items deemed incomplete (title search with easement copies, sealed plans and certain map signature blocks). The board’s action allows the applicant to notice and schedule a public hearing, conditioned on submitting the remaining documentation at least two weeks in advance so consultants have time to prepare review memos.
Board counsel explained that conditional/completeness waivers permit scheduling but leave applicants at risk if required materials are not provided on time. The board approved the motion after clarifying that the outstanding title and easement documents must be delivered no later than two weeks before the scheduled public hearing.
