Request for clarification on a condition of approval that was memorialized 6/12/07
Geoff Soriano, Esq. was present to represent the applicant. He noted that the applicant first appeared before the Board in the beginning of the year for preliminary and final site plan of the Brandywine assisted living facility. The Board ultimately approved the site plan and adopted a resolution on 6/12/07.
He continued to state that recently, when going through the compliance approval process, there has been a discrepancy regarding the intended definition for units versus beds and he was therefore before the Board requesting clarification.
The Board after discussion agreed that the resolution shall be modified to read as follows:
(Page 6 comment #2)
"Should the applicant in the future require any additional beds beyond the one hundred twenty eight (128) in the entire facility after the construction of the addition, the applicant agrees to return to the Planning Board to seek the appropriate relief"
