Chairman Neuer said that the Township ordinance states that any use that is not specifically permitted under the ordinance is prohibited so it is his opinion that the funeral home is a prohibited use in the B-2 zone. Chairman Neuer asked if the Board Members would like to recommend to the Township Council an amendment to the ordinance that would allow a funeral home as a permitted use in the B-2 zone. Chairman Neuer stated that if the Board Members are so inclined, he can submit a letter to the Township Council asking them to consider where a funeral home fits in because the ordinance is silent when it comes to a funeral home and whether it would be a conditional use or a permitted use. Mr. Sussman recommended that this should be a task for the Township Planner to recommend what zones would be appropriate for a funeral home and if it should be a conditional or a permitted use because parking is a big issue. Chairman Neuer moved to adopt a resolution to advise Ms. Adams that it is the opinion of the Zoning Board that the B-2 zone does not permit funeral homes. Ms. Gabry seconded the motion and all were in favor. Chairman Neuer advised the Board Members to email Mr. Grygiel if they have an opinion as to what they would like to do with funeral homes and to copy him on the email. The meeting was adjourned by Chairman Neuer at 10:41 pm. ; Adopted: May 19, 2016 - YA Siu YY Kose DeSena Zoning Board Secretary 23
