Appearing on behalf of
application: Brian Melgaard, property
owner and Mr. Azer Nabsu, owner of A.N. Piano.
Mr. Nabsu indicated that he is looking to relocate from Fairfield, where
he has been since 1996, due to flooding since the pianos cost $70,000 a
piece. He has two managers and three
employees per shift. The tractor
trailers will be on the road most of the week delivering the pianos. 7 a.m. is the earliest that they ship. After a brief discussion, the members
unanimously approved the waiver.

Main Rd. – B: 56, L: 10 – 7 employees – hours of
operation 6:30am-11PM 7 days – no outdoor storage – tenant name on existing
monument sign
No one appeared on behalf of
application. Ms. Hunscher explained the
application to the members and that this use was permitted in the OB zones. The
waiver was unanimously approved.

Appearing on behalf of
application: Ms. Allison Mathern of Pep Boys. Ms. Mathern explained that the
business would be the same, but a new owner.
This is a satellite location and does not have a retail component, just service
and tires. Ms. Hunscher explained that
the site received approval in early 1990s, which included an internally
illuminated monument sign, 3 feet from grade, measuring 3 feet by 15 feet with
base plantings that was knocked over and never replaced. Per conversation with the Township Attorney, Ms.
Hunscher indicated that the applicant is entitled to erect the sign consistent
with that approval. Following a brief
discussion, the members unanimously approved the waiver.
Pine Brook Plaza (Azarian
Group) - Discussion regarding April
25, 2012 letter requesting modifications to approved site plan
No one appeared on behalf of
application. The members reviewed the
letter send by Mr. Azarian requesting modifications to the approved site plan. The members agreed it would be a good idea to
have a meeting with Mr. Azarian to discuss the matter directly with him. Also, Mr. Azarian would have to make
application to the board to request approval for the modifications, which
include changes from the conditions of approval set forth in the resolution.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further
business to discuss, the subcommittee adjourned at 9:15 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
