Applicant asks to modify decades-old ban on outdoor ceremonies; board delays decision
Summary
An application to allow outdoor ceremonies at a catering facility — limited to two events a day, over an hour, ending by 7 p.m. — was carried to the borough’s September 11 meeting while the board and objectors work to resolve noticing and classification questions.
The applicant is seeking to modify a prior board condition that has prohibited outdoor ceremonies at a catering facility, the presenter (S3) told the board. “The applicant is also before the board seeking to modify a prior condition prohibiting outside activities to permit outdoor ceremonies in the lawn area and proposed patio along the northwest corner of the property with the said ceremonies to be more than an hour in duration, occurring no more than twice daily and including no later than 7PM,” Presenter (S3) said.
Board members did not decide the request at the hearing. Members said they needed more information about whether the change represents a change in use that would require D1 variance relief and whether technical witnesses (acoustical, engineering) should be recalled to testify. The applicant agreed to amend the notice and refile modified application materials and the board continued the application to the September 11 meeting.
