Zoning board adopts revised resolution for 23-unit age-restricted townhouses on Lexington Avenue
Summary
The Cranford Zoning Board of Adjustment unanimously adopted a revised resolution memorializing approval for a 23-unit age-restricted townhouse development at 545A and 547–549 Lexington Avenue; board members voted 5–0 with no public comment at the March 23 meeting.
The Cranford Zoning Board of Adjustment on March 23 adopted a revised resolution memorializing action on Application #ZBA 23-017, a proposal by J. Tan & M. Tog LLC to build an age-restricted townhouse development at 545A and 547–549 Lexington Avenue.
The board chair, Ms. Daly, opened the meeting and a poll of voting members confirmed each had read and agreed with the findings and legal conclusions in the revised resolution, Board Attorney Frank Magaletta said. The motion to adopt the revised resolution passed on a voice vote with an affirmative tally from Ms. Daly, Mr. Marotta, Mr. Aschenbach, Mr. Cukierski and Mr. Rees; there were no votes in opposition.
The application seeks a d(1) use variance to construct 23 residential units (20 market-rate and 3 affordable) arranged in five three-story townhouse buildings, together with surface and garage parking, fencing and landscaping improvements. Magaletta explained the background of the application and referenced subsequent litigation; the transcript does not record additional details of that litigation.
After the vote, board member Mr. Aschenbach raised an issue at the project site and a discussion followed; the record does not show a formal motion or further board action on that point during this meeting. There was no public comment on the resolution.
The board completed routine minutes business and adjourned the meeting at 7:45 p.m.
