August 21, 2025, Regular Meeting

Chairperson Neuer asked Mr. Klein to provide proof that taxes have been paid to date between now and the time they adopt the resolution, which is usually at the next monthly meeting, which would be September 18th. Mr. Klein agreed to this. 2.) ZB-25-01 Taharally 79 Lessing Road Block:158.14; Lot:243; Zone: R-4 It was at this time that Chairperson Neuer recognized the applicant Mr. Taharally and Mrs. Taharally, who entered the record. Mr. DeLuca, Esq. stated without an attorney, they would have to adjourn this matter to retain counsel and come back with the representation of an attorney. Chairperson Neuer asked if they are operating the business now. Mr. Taharally said they had applied for a cottage license through the New Jersey Department of Health and have been growing their online presence, doing charitable work, and doing pop-up events at the local elementary school. Chairperson Neuer asked if they are doing any sales from the property. Mr. Taharally said they are not doing sales at the property. Chairperson Neuer asked Mr. Taharally if he was cooking at the property. Mr. Taharally said yes. Chairperson Neuer pointed out to you that there's a flaw in the application for the cottage license, which was attached under prerequisite information on page two. The applicant checked off "Yes” to the box that says, “I have checked with my local municipal government, and there are no local ordinances or zoning requirements that would prevent me from operating a home-based food business.” Chairperson Neuer said that’s inaccurate. The home occupation ordinance specifically prohibits cooking in the home. The application will be left as pending. Chairperson Neuer requests that the applicant ask their legal counsel how to resolve the issue of the cottage license that he just raised, and they will be set down for another hearing. Application ZB-25-01 Taharally (79 Lessing Road) is adjourned to the Regular Meeting of November 20, 2025. No further notice is required. 4.) ZB-24-17 Pardo Development Group Inc. (Carried from 6/12/2025) 104 Winding Way Block: 46.01; Lot: 33 Application for C Variance PRESENTATION Mr. Trevor Endler, Esq. entered the record on behalf of the applicant, Pardo Development Group, Incorporated.
