Middle Township Zoning Board Public Notice

Dear Homeowners,

You may have already received a registered letter relative to a Middle Township Zoning Board Public Notice ... or received a slip to sign and pick up your letter at your local post office.  The contents of that letter is posted below.  It is standard practice for the Zoning Board to require that notices are sent to neighboring property owners when variances to normal use are requested.  As noted, the applicant (GIAC NGO Monastery, a Buddhist organization) is seeking approval to construct a monastery which will consist of a temple, associated dormitories, and a dining facility for visiting monks and nuns.  This plan requires variances as stated since current zoning states:

• Only one principal structure and only one principal use are permitted on a lot (Section 250-606)
• Religious usage is conditional, not a typical permitted usage relative to the section on Rural Conservation (Section 250-406(B))
• For religious use, the maximum height of the building may not exceed 35 feet, except that a steeple may extend to a height of 60 feet. (Section 250-513(F))

The link to Chapter 250 Zoning of the Middle Township General Codes Book is https://ecode360.com/9071192 should you wish to do further reading.

The Board does not have any additional information other than that provided in the letter.

Should anyone have questions about the proposed building(s), the contact information for the group's attorney has been provided.  In addition, you may review the application on file in the Middle Township Municipal Building and/or attend the hearing scheduled for December 11th at 6:00pm.

Sincerely,
OSC Board
