Tonight’s zoning board meeting at Town Hall includes requests for variances from municipal codes for two schools, as well as the construction of multifamily housing.
Beginning at 8 p.m., the board will review a proposal by Congregation Mesifta Shraga to build a school, dormitory and staff buildings at the intersection of Camp Hill Road and Old Route 202. The variances requested include building four-story structures, which is not currently permitted, as well as developing 31.6 percent of the land, while only 20 percent development is permitted. It’s also proposed that up to four beds be allowed in each dormitory room, while only two beds are allowed.
• Another school, proposed off Carlton Road about 300 feet from the West Maple Avenue intersection, will also be reviewed. Applicant Isaac Weinberger seeks permission for a school and dormitory for Yeshiva Ziev Hatorah of Monsey. Variances sought would allow parking in the front yard, and permit a smaller than required lot size.
• The board will also be reviewing a proposal for two, three-family semi-attached dwellings, each with an accessory apartment, or a total of 12 residential units, on property off Nesher Court, about 150 feet from the West Central Avenue intersection. The builder, Leah Wagschal, is seeking variances from codes to permit smaller front, side and back yards.
• Variances from town codes will also be sought for two proposed three-family houses on Blauvelt Road, a three-family house with three apartments for a total of six units on Herrick Avenue, for converting a single-family house on Manor Drive to a five-unit building.
