25-9.10 Home Professional Office. A home professional office was a more intense use than a home occupation. The regulations for it included only being permitted on certain main roads. This use might be more properly reviewed by the full Planning Board as a site plan application, or by the Zoning Board of Adjustment if one or more conditional use standards was not met (i.e. meaning a “d(3)” variance was required). 25-11.10 Sidewalk Cafes in the B-1 and B-2 Districts. This section also included a number of standards for the use, which could be reviewed by the Construction Official or Zoning Official. An issue had been raised by the Zoning Official previously that while a definition of “outdoor cafe” was amended to include not just sidewalk cafes in a public right-of-way, but also outdoor dining ancillary to a restaurant on private property (i.e. in the rear of a building or in a shopping center), the regulations for sidewalk cafes in this section were not similarly broadened. Some minor changes were proposed, including allowing the use in the PC District (in which the Essex Green and Whole Foods shopping centers were located). Any reference to the Director of Planning and Development would remain unchanged. 25.56 Application Fees The existing ordinance did not include fees for Technical Review Committee applications, although there were fees in place for site plans, including conceptual plans, which had been utilized as the basis for tech review application fees. It is noted that most, if not all, applications to the SPRAB were anticipated to be full site plan applications already requiring application fees and/or escrow deposits, which would cover the review by the SPRAB as well as the Planning Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment. The issue should be monitored and revisited after the new SPRAB procedures were in place for some time in order to determine if any changes were warranted. 32-3 Approving Agency; Administration This section of the subdivision chapter allowed a minor subdivision to be reviewed by the Technical Advisory Committee, which may recommend to the Planning Board that full notice and hearing for the application may be waived. Mr. Grygiel suggested the provision be removed. Harvey Grossman, Esq., Public Advocate, commented on the proposed changes. The Board voted on the Recommendation with the revisions as follows: Motion: Chairman
