Merkle Motors expansion denied despite existing business
An application by Merkle Motors at 1415 Maple Avenue to use adjacent land for selling new and used cars was denied by the Township Committee. A license to sell used cars on the current premises was approved. Residents argued expansion would erode the residential character. Merkle cited zoning and long-standing operation since 1927. The panel also addressed complaints about underground springs, a proposed rear walk, and a potential public parking lot, noting property acquisitions and easements would be needed.
