Votes and actions at a glance: Haverford ZHB approves two variances Aug. 6, 2026
Summary
At its Aug. 6, 2026 meeting, the Haverford Township Zoning Hearing Board approved two variance requests — Z26-16 (fence at 800 College Ave) and Z26-17 (deck/coverage at 3037 Robin Lane) — each passed 3-0 with site-specific conditions and one-year completion requirements.
The Haverford Township Zoning Hearing Board on Aug. 6, 2026 voted unanimously to approve two variance requests heard that evening.
Z26-16 (Pennington, 800 College Ave): Approved 3-0. Board conditions: no fence placement within any easement; no fence in any right-of-way; pull the proposed 6-foot cedar privacy fence back to align with the front-yard setback; recess all gates 18 feet to permit a vehicle to pull off the roadway; complete work within one year; obtain any external permits if needed (e.g., PennDOT HOP for work in state ROW). The board admitted the applicants’ site plan, photos, memorandum, and neighborhood support petition into the record.
Z26-17 (Will, 3037 Robin Lane): Approved 3-0. Board conditions: the deck shall not be enclosed now or at any point in the future; the project must be completed within one year and conform to testimony and submitted plans. Counsel referenced an engineer’s assurance that proposed underground stormwater measures meet township standards; neighbor consent letters were provided.
Both cases closed the evidentiary record with no public testimony and included follow-up tasks for the zoning office to verify compliance with the board’s conditions during permitting and prior to final approvals.
