Township Board Votes to Oppose Creek Setback Variance Request for 116 Huganu Lane
The board discussed a zoning hearing board application for a variance at 116 Huganu Lane, submitted by Thomas Powers, the governor of Rustic Raccoon Retreats LLC. The applicant seeks to build a deck encroaching approximately 6 feet into the 50-foot creek setback. The board debated the discrepancy in plans regarding the building's distance from the creek (50 ft vs. 54 ft) and the applicant's potential intent to seek variances after construction began. The board voted to authorize the solicitor to attend the zoning hearing board meeting and formally oppose the variance request.
