Westfield board approves variance 2608 VSO 08 subject to staff conditions
Summary
The Westfield Township Board of Zoning Appeals voted to approve variance 2608 VSO 08, allowing reduced setbacks for the property after public comment and staff conditions. The board carried a motion and later approved findings of fact on the same application.
The Westfield Township Board of Zoning Appeals voted to approve variance 2608 VSO 08 on Aug. 11, 2026, after a public hearing and board discussion. A board member moved to approve the variance "that we approve 2608 v s o 8," and the motion was seconded and carried following a roll-call vote.
Board members conducted a roll-call after the motion and the chair announced the motion carried. The approval was made "subject to the conditions of the staff report," according to the chair when she opened the vote. The board also later approved the findings of fact for the same application. The meeting record shows the public hearing closed at 7:19 p.m. before the motion was made and the board adjourned at 7:23 p.m.
The decision implements the staff-recommended conditions attached to the variance application; the board discussed whether landscaping or specific blueprint elevations should be incorporated into the decision, but ultimately handled landscaping as a condition tied to the approval motion rather than as part of the findings of fact.
