Page 6 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • November 28, 2012 Midland Park Dr. Lori Nuzzi, a Midland Park chiropractor, may move her business office to the second floor of her Goffle Road office building. The Midland Park Board of Adjustment recently ruled that the move did not constitute an expansion of a non-conforming use and therefore required no variances. The borough’s zoning officer had denied Dr. Nuzzi a building permit citing the lack of sufficient parking on site. While the two-story commercial building had sufficient parking when Dr. Nuzzi turned it into her office in 1994, a subsequent change in the borough’s zoning ordinance increased the parking requirements for doctor’s offices, leaving her short of spaces based on the new ordinance. Her attorney, Charles Collins, argued, however, that Dr. Nuzzi was not expanding her use, but simply moving the business part of her practice to the second floor to meet patient privacy restrictions. Dr. Nuzzi testified that no examinations offices would be added and the number of employees would remain unchanged. She said the second level had most recently been used by a deco- Board determines chiropractor may move office rated, who has since moved. Board Chairman Linda Herlihy agreed, noting that the use would remain a pre-existing non-conforming Midland Park High School is one of 539 high schools in the United States and Canada that are being named to the College Board’s Third Annual AP District Honor Roll. The honor roll recognizes the school for increasing Advanced Placement course work while also increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP exams. Achieving both of these goals is the ideal scenario for a district’s AP program, because it indicates that the district is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are likely to benefit most from rigorous course work. Only five Bergen County high schools received this prestigious honor this school year. Inclusion on the Third Annual AP District Honor Roll is based on the examination of data from 2010 to 2012. To be included, performance levels had to improve from 2010 to 2012. Achieving a grade of 3 or higher qualifies condition but was not an expansion, since the same the office staff, which planned to move upstairs, was now using a portion of the waiting room. High school placed on AP Honor Roll the students for credit at the college level, saving their parents thousands of dollars in college tuition, according to Superintendent of Schools Dr. Marie Cirasella. During last week’s board of education meeting, Dr. Cirasella applauded the students and their teachers for their effort, and said the district would continue to expand the AP courses available. The school offers 11th and 12th graders AP courses in English, biology, chemistry, US history, government, French, Spanish, art and calculus. College Board President David Coleman stated, “We applaud the extraordinary efforts of the devoted teachers and administrators in this district, who are fostering rigorous work worth doing. These educators have not only expanded student access to AP course work, but they have enabled more of their students to achieve on the college level, which is helping to create a strong collegegoing culture.” On Nov. 8, a 70-year-old North Haledon man reported to Officer Kevin Van Dyk that his wallet had been stolen while he was in a doctor’s office. He said the black leather wallet, valued at $40, contained $300 cash, miscellaneous credit cards, and his driver’s license.
