Town Wins Point In Gas Station Battle
Hillside Township won the first skirmish in its effort to block a gasoline service station on Route 29 near Bloy Street by the Atlantic Refining Company. Judge Frank L. Cleary in Superior Court ruled the township was justified in denying a permit while a zoning amendment placed authority over gas station permits with the Township Committee. The case centers on a pending zoning amendment introduced March 4 and adopted March 18, with the court finding no formal permit application filed and that the amendment binds the inspector even before final adoption. The matter proceeds to January for further review of the township’s permit denial, with Atlantic’s attorney Nicholas English arguing arbitrariness and lack of evidence. Township officials praised the ruling on the ordinance’s validity.
