Chairman Neuer stated that the Township Zoning Official, Ms. Adams, requested that the Zoning Board interpret the permitted uses in a B-2 zone, specifically if a funeral home falls within any of the categories in that zone. Mr. Grygiel stated that he had a conversation with Ms. Adams when she had an inquiry regarding a funeral home in a B-2 zone. He said that she asked him if it fits into any of the categories in the B-2 zone and he told her that it was his opinion that it did not but she wanted to formally have the Zoning Board interpret this under the New Jersey Municipal Land Use Law. Vice Chairman Buechler read all of the uses of the B-2 zone in the current ordinance. Vice Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Grygiel if a funeral home is mentioned in any of the Township ordinances; he replied no. Mr. Grygiel said funeral homes are silent in the master plan.
