(continued from page 5) board he concurred with Zisgen’s position and argued that the notice Filippone provided did not properly explain what he was going to do on his property. In response, Filippone retained Attorney Scott Lippert to explain to the board why his notice was valid. Lippert argued that the legal case Zisgen was referring to involves an access road to a 231-unit development, not a driveway to a single house. He claimed that, under the state’s residential site improvement standards, a driveway is not considered a road and, therefore, that case did not apply to the Filippone application. He maintained that the notice Filippone gave his neighbors met the requirements of the state. However, after much discussion, the board decided that, while the notice was not deficient in its information, it should have been provided to all property owners within 200 feet of Filippone’s property and within 200 feet of the easement. Therefore, the board decided it did not have the jurisdiction to proceed any further and the public hearing was terminated. In the lawsuit, Lippert claimed the board’s decision that his client was required to serve notices to property owners within 200 feet of his client’s property and the Landlocked property with the easement was arbitrary, capricious, and erroneous as a matter of law. He asked the court to reverse the board’s decision and remand the application to the zoning board for further public hearings and a final disposition on the merits of his client’s application. According to the details in the lawsuit, Filippone’s property would be accessed by a 12-foot wide driveway partially within a 25-foot wide access easement that would extend over Venusti’s property to Midvale Mountain Road, a private road that leads to Glen Gray Road and on to Ramapo Valley Road near the Oakland border. Venusti has been contesting Filippone’s plan for several years, but Filippone won the right to that easement in Superior Court in 2007, when a Superior Court judge found he was entitled to the easement across Venusti’s property. That judge also ruled that the easement would expire in four years if all the approvals necessary for the construction of the dwelling were not received within that time, or sooner if the application for the necessary approvals were denied. The judge directed that, once all the approvals were received and all appeals were resolved, the easement would become permanent.
