Borough of Edgewater Board of Adjustment Special Meeting
The board discussed an application for an amended site plan and variance relief for a mixed-use building project under construction at 440-456 River Road. Key discussion topics included the request for "D" and "C" variances related to building height, floor area ratio (FAR), and parking requirements, as well as the justification for such relief based on the unique topography and shape of the property. The testimony provided by the project planner and engineer addressed view shed analysis, the character of the surrounding neighborhood, and compliance with zoning ordinances and master plan goals. Legal counsel and representatives for neighboring interests engaged in cross-examination regarding building heights, site surveys, and potential impacts on traffic and views.
