Public hearing
(continued from page 10) variance from the zoning board in 2009 to permit the construction of a single family dwelling on their property with a driveway that extends across an easement over their neighbor’s property to Midvale Mountain Road. That hearing had been in progress for 11 months, but was terminated in March 2010 when, in reaction to an objection by Zisgen, the zoning board decided it did not have the jurisdiction to continue hearing the application because a proper notice was not sent to all the nearby residents as required by state law, including those who live on Midvale Mountain Road. That led to of a lawsuit filed by the Filippones against the Mahwah Board of Adjustment in April 2010 and the ruling by Judge Conte, who found that the notice was neither sufficient to give the public a reasonably accurate description of the proposed use of the property nor was it sufficiently served upon all residents within 200 feet, and the adjacent property, according to state law. Conte also ruled that the Filippones would have to send the appropriate notice to all the neighbors entitled to receive it and re-file an application with the zoning board if they want approval to build a house on their property and that public hearing would have to start from the beginning with all the testimony and evidence concerning the application being re-presented to the zoning board.
