WayMaker letter

including construction details and the proposed finished height. The applicant should insure that this wall complies with the required standards pursuant to Township of West Orange Zoning Ordinance §25-8.4a or provide justification for a variance to permit the deviation from the required standard. (emphasis original) Additionally, the application filed on behalf of your client fails to request a soil movement permit. (No. 14 of Section D of the Application “Type of Application.”) The Matrix report finds that the amount of soil disturbance of over one acre of land creates the need for a Major Site Plan under the Township’s Storm Water Management regulations and therefore requires a Soil Removal Permit which was not included in your application. Finally, though the Construction Board of Appeals issued a fine to your client for construction of the wall without a permit on July 16, 2024 in the amount of $2,000.00, as of this time this fine remains unpaid to the Township of West Orange. Please correct the above noted deficiencies in order to render the application complete. The corrected application should be filed with the correct board (the Zoning Board), or if you prefer, we will administratively transfer the application to the Zoning Board, either of which would need to be done to start the 45-day clock to deem the application complete. To be clear; however, the 45-day clock to deem the application complete, never commenced and, as such, the application could never have been, and was not, automatically deemed complete by default. Similarly, the 120-day clock that starts post completeness determination never commenced and, therefore, the application never could have been, and was not, deemed an automatically approved by default due to the expiration of the time to act. We reserve all rights and remedies concerning all aspects of the project and the pending application. Thank you. Very truly yours, : 0 i, Ae franc Aut AKA, DIANA POWELL MCGOVERN, ESQ.
