Zoning Board of Adjustment discussed amending the resolution's deed-restriction condition language in closed session (applicant wanted the restriction tied to any future major subdivision application rather than recorded per property), then read the resolution to approve into the record without a vote shown on amending it; the underlying August 24 approval is unchanged.

The project
Single-family detached and duplex homes on Nassau Street, Amsterdam, Columbus and Nostrand Avenues, by use variance. At the July 6 hearing the plan was 19 single-family homes and 9 duplexes.
What usually comes next
Projects like this often need county or state permits before any work starts on the land. Some skip that step and start building.
Lakewood Zoning Board of Adjustment agenda lists a resolution to approve the use variance for single-family and duplex homes.
Zoning Board of Adjustment approved the use variance 6 to 1 (Ribiat dissenting over the 7,000 sq ft lot sizes), with conditions tying future subdivision to a recorded deed restriction and to certificates of occupancy, for 19 single-family homes and 9 duplex buildings on 14 lots held by nine owners.
Lakewood Zoning Board of Adjustment agenda lists the use variance under old business.
Lakewood Zoning Board of Adjustment heard the use variance for 19 single-family homes and 9 duplexes on 14 properties held by nine owners. Members raised concerns about density and about the owners applying separately, and a motion to deny was made; the board then voted 6 to 1 to table it so the applicant could come back with a better plan and new notice, at the August 24 meeting.
