Page 8 THE VILLADOM TIMES IV • September 11, 2013 Area Prep work Jackie Shaffer, Center for Food Action manager Jim James, Kyle and Kaylie Shaffer, and Bergen Highlands/Ramsey Ro- tarians Rob Parker (in rear), Tim Shaffer, and Sarina Mazza fill backpacks for local school children. The Rotary Club, in partnership with the CFA and Ramsey Staples, is providing school supplies for qualifying children. The Rotary Club is funding the effort, and the CFA distributes the backpacks as needed to its locations in Mahwah and Ringwood. Each pack contains notebooks, pens, pencils, pencil holder, Post- it notes, a dictionary, and easy-to-use supplies. The Bergen Highlands/Ramsey Rotary Club serves Allendale, Mahwah, Ramsey, Upper Saddle River, and Saddle River. Car wash nixed (continued from page 6) queue of cars there, they will drive to another car wash location. But Laforet and other members of the board did not agree with that argument. Scandariato suggested the applicant prepare a site plan to show if any improve- ments are needed to accommodate this business, but Scillieri claimed that would be an unnecessary burden on his client since there are no changes to the building pro- posed other than the striping of the parking area and he said he didn’t see what a site plan would accomplish. “I contend our application is for detail- ing and auto accessories and to do car wash- ing,” Scillieri said. “I would argue this is a permitted use in this B-12 zone according to the town ordinance.” The discussion then turned to the number of parking spaces required for the two bays and the six employees. Laforet claimed 16 spaces are needed and it is not possible to provide 16 spaces on the site. “I just think the application fails on the need for 16 parking spaces and you can’t put 16 spaces here; that’s it,” board member Daniel Weixeldorfer agreed. Board member Charles “Chuck” Jandris pointed out to Scillieri that there were prob- lems with the last operator of this site who was supposed to be doing detailing only on the site but was found to be doing other things there, and the board was trying to keep his client from doing the same thing. Scandariato suggested Scillieri file for a variance with the zoning board if he feels he has a good reason to get one and to explain to that board why his client does not need to meet that parking requirement. Based on a motion by Jandris, the board then denied the tenant application.
