Vernon Township, New Jersey

            Board Engineer - Cory Stoner, Harold E. Pellow & Associates, Inc.

      "Permitted" Use Applications - which includes, site plan and subdivision applications, municipal comprehensive Master Plan, conditional use Permits, related Bulk "C" and "D" variances, encroachment permits, site plan waiver requests, prepares Capital Improvement Programs as well as, Land Development & Zoning Ordinances. The Board ensures these applications are in conformance with: (a) the Township Master Plan and developmental ordinances; (b) satisfies public safety concerns; (c) meets generally accepted design standards as recommended by board professionals and city officials; and (d) requires no variances.

      "Non Permitted" Use Applications - The board will hear administrative appeals and interpretations of zoning codes, maps or ordinances. Typically, the board hears requests for providing an applicant relief from zoning requirements which are non-conforming as the Land Use Development Chapter 330 of the Vernon Township Code Book depicts. Therefore, in some cases, bulk area "C" variances related to use variance or single or two-family dwellings, use "D" Variances, floor area ratio variances, building height variances over 10% of permitted height expansions will be required to obtain approvals from the board.
