Group Fights Zone Variance Hearing Draws 109 Residents
More than 109 people attended a protest meeting Tuesday night at Berkowitz Hall to oppose a zoning variance for a supermarket and parking lot at North Broad and Williamson. Leonard Cohen chaired the meeting with Louis Devin as moderator. Attendees urged joining the August 24 hearing before the Township Committee at the Municipal Building and to mobilize residents townwide. Devin summarized the Zoning Board action granting the variance for three single family homes to permit the market. Critics warned of traffic, vacant properties, garbage spillover, neighborhood deterioration, late deliveries, and reduced ratables. Alternatives discussed included affirming, rejecting, or sending back for study. Some speakers urged court action if the variance is approved, labeling it spot zoning. Several attendees were not from Williamson Avenue, and requests were made to obtain broker testimony on neighborhood impact.
