Pilot application (continued from page 3) elimination of the Ridge Road access was consistent with the legislative intent of township Ordinance 1606 to reduce the flow of traffic in the vicinity of certain uses out of concern for public safety. He also made note of the fact that the zoning board relied on factors set forth in a 1994 State Supreme Court decision known as Coventry Square, which addresses the issue of conditional uses versus prohibited uses. Conte concluded that the evidence in the case did not lead to a finding that the council intended to prohibit all gas stations within 500 feet of schools or specifically intended to prohibit Pilot’s development of its property. He pointed out that the council discussed at length the fact that those existing gas stations which would become non-conforming as a result of the passage of Ordinance 1606 would have to seek variances from the zoning board. “The court finds that Paks has not presented adequate reason to overturn the zoning board’s decision to grant a use variance to Pilot,” Conte stated. At the center of the arguments presented at trial was Ordinance 1606, which was adopted by the township council in February 2008 while Pilot was before the planning board with an application seeking site plan approval to renovate its site. Conte noted that the ordinance proposed to place a condition on service stations that they not be located within 500 feet of certain public uses, including schools. When that ordinance was adopted, Pilot decided not to continue with its application before the planning board, and instead filed a new application before the zoning board in June 2008. That application proposed the demolition of the existing buildings, construction of a 4,282 square foot convenience store, and the renovation of the truck stop into a service station for trucks and automobiles. That application contained a proposal to close the Ridge Road access to the site, remove the existing truck scale, and provide a fence and landscaping along Ridge Road to prevent pedestrian access to the site. The Paks lawsuit claimed Pilot did not satisfy the necessary criteria to gain approval of the application because, when the council adopted Ordinance 1606, they already knew Pilot planned to close the Ridge Road access and provide a landscape buffer along Ridge Road. Paks said the zoning board ignored that evidence. Paks also argued that Pilot misconstrued the council’s intent in adopting Ordinance 1606 when Pilot stated that the council did not intend to prohibit service stations within 500 feet of a school, but instead was requiring such applicants to obtain a conditional use variance from the zoning board. Paks claimed the council’s intent was to prohibit service stations within 500 feet of a school, particularly Mahwah High School. Pilot argued that the council intended to impose a proximity requirement as a condition on service stations if they are within 500 feet of a school and, in this case, the zoning board reconciled the deviation from the condition with the council’s determination that the condition should be Providing in the township. imposed on all conditional uses emotional and Maintaining thatspiritual support, ordinance is “clear the language of the professional and unambiguous,” counseling and financial interpretaPilot argued that the Paks and material assistance to New countion of the council’s intent was incorrect because the cil sought to createJersey Children with cancer a spatial separation between service and their families. stations and certain uses that would be effectivedthroughout uc ble Youcouncil intendedTtoxprohibittiservice a De the township and, if the r D a onations it re stations within 500 feet of a school, would have expressly prohibited that type of use. “We are greatly pleased to see that the court found that the Mahwah Zoning Board acted appropriately in granting the use variance and site plan approval for the Pilot service station,” Pilot attorney James Lott said after receiving the PO Box decision. 212 - Dept.
