allowing a deviation from the Zoning Ordinance requirements and the benefits of any deviation will substantially outweigh any detriment. 4. These tests specifically enumerated above constitute the affirmative proofs necessary in order to obtain “bulk” variance relief, under Section c (2). 5. Also, an applicant for these variances must show that the proposed relief sought will not cause a substantial detriment to the public good and will not substantially impair the intent and purpose of the zone plan and zoning ordinance. The burden of proof is upon the Applicant to establish that these criteria have been met. 6. The only waiver requested by Applicant was a design waiver as to the internal sidewalks. 7. As for the requested bulk variances, they also satisfy a c (2) criteria as Applicant has provided credible evidence that the following purposes of the MLUL set forth in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-2 are advanced: N.J.S.A. 40:55D-2(g) to provide sufficient space in appropriate locations for a variety of recreational uses and (i) to promote a desirable visual environment as the proposed height variances are in keeping with the architecture of the other buildings at the club and the proposed wall is an attractive accent to the frontage of the club. 8. There are no detriments to the zone plan or negative impact from the proposed project as the additional building and addition to the golf building are set back into the golf club and are almost entirely screened from view from the street and the proposed wall will allow for an aesthetic border and may also provide some benefit by blocking headlights of vehicles in the parking lot from spilling onto the street. {Montclair Golf Club Resolution} 4882-2653-9704.v1
