The Board further finds that the proposed addition would help clean up the rear of the site and promote a desirable visual environment. The Board finds that the setback variance needed for the addition is continuing an existing setback on that side of the property and will not interfere with the adjacent neighbor which is a Verizon building. As for lot coverage the Board finds that the additional 136.3 sq. ft. will be very minor in size, and will be at the rear of the site and unseen from the street.

The variances will not substantially impair the intent and purpose of the zone plan inasmuch as they allow for an important use with only minor, insubstantial departures to what already exists for is allowed. 17. Insummary, the Applicant has provided sufficient proofs to satisfy the positive and negative criteria necessary for the variance relief sought. 18. Regarding the installation of sidewalks, the Board finds that this in an important policy in the Township which should be adhered to. However, given that that the Applicant is a small business start-up, and there are no sidewalks immediately adjacent to the subject property, that a temporary waiver can be granted. Sidewalks will not have to be installed until 18 months after issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. THE DECISION WHEREAS, the Board, having reviewed the application for Minor Site Plan approval and associated “c” variances, and waiver from having to install sidewalks immediately, and having considered the impact of the proposed application on the Township’s Master Plan, zoning ordinance and the surrounding property owners, and having considered whether the proposal complies with and furthers the goals of the land use and zoning ordinances of the Township of West Orange and the Municipal Land Use Law; and upon the imposition of specific conditions to be fulfilled, hereby, concludes that good cause has been shown to approve the application. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Board of the Township of West Orange that the application for Minor Site Plan approval with variances, and waiver from having to install sidewalks
