Resident Challenges Driveway Permit; Attorney Recommends Permit, Escrow and Engineering Review
Summary
Margaret Tarantino told the committee a recent driveway overlay was a repair and should not need a permit; the Township Attorney advised applying for and paying permit and escrow, the Township Engineer will review, and any remaining escrow will be returned.
During Open Public Session #1, resident Margaret Tarantino contested a recent driveway overlay on her property, saying the work was repairs, not a new driveway, and therefore should not require a permit.
The Township Attorney reviewed the driveway alteration code and said the Zoning Officer’s role is to interpret the ordinance; the attorney recommended that Tarantino apply for and pay the driveway permit and escrow so the Township Engineer can review the work. The clerk said any remaining escrow will be returned to Ms. Tarantino after review.
Chuck Decker spoke in support of Ms. Tarantino’s comments during the public comment period. The committee did not take formal enforcement action at the meeting; it recorded the attorney’s recommendation and directed an engineering review.
