SHRI public hearing postponed; Land Use Board grants waivers and deems site-plan complete pending additional materials
Summary
The board found the SHRI application complete for purposes of hearing after granting waivers but postponed the public hearing to Dec. 17, 2024 because the newspaper notice did not meet legal requirements; the applicant was given a detailed list of completeness items to address.
The Oxford Township Land Use Board on Nov. 21 granted waivers and deemed the SHRI preliminary and final site-plan application complete for scheduling purposes, while postponing the public hearing to Dec. 17, 2024 after a notice defect.
Board attorney Richard Schneider said the required newspaper advertisement did not satisfy legal notice requirements, so the public hearing could not proceed. The applicant’s attorney, Mr. Rodrigues, said the applicant will re-notice. Mayor Norton and Linda Koufodontes recused from the SHRI completeness hearing.
Township engineer Bryce Good reviewed a Nov. 18 completeness report and enumerated checklist items the applicants must address at the public hearing or in their revised submissions. Items listed included: north arrow and sight triangles; lighting plan details; review by the Fire Chief for construction over 10,000 square feet; width and design of fire aisles; maximum permitted grade and slope stabilization; off-street parking layout; locations of trash enclosures for Buildings 1 and 2; building, drainage and parking areas within 200 feet of lot lines; easement documentation for proposed entrance/exit; plans and profiles of streets within 500 feet; locations and details for curbs, sidewalks, driveways, fences and retaining walls within 100 feet; will-serve letters; fire-prevention measures on the site plan; complete list of site improvements with quantities; and outside-agency approvals.
A motion to grant the waivers and deem the application complete for scheduling passed with Ayes 7, Nays 0, Abstain 2, Absent 3. The board noted that deeming the application complete for scheduling does not waive the need for the applicant to supply the outstanding materials or for the board to consider public input at the rescheduled hearing.
