Deli’s non-conforming status
(continued from page 3)
Rovi said the situation had become worse
since pizza ovens were added in the fall of 2012.
She said the ovens generate a constant droning
noise, and the deli is now open until 10 p.m.
seven days a week and the premises and the out-
door sign are illuminated 24 hours.
Rovi said following numerous complaints
to police about noise spillage, the deli’s owner
had built a plywood wall around the offend-
ing motors. But she said the enclosure had not
helped, in part because the properties go uphill
from the deli.
Another resident, Anne Polhemus, said that
on weekends catering employees who park on
Erie create a disturbance when they return to
their cars at 1 or 2 a.m.
“I didn’t know the pizza was coming. I was
shocked the business could grow so large and I
not know it was happening,” said Polhemus. “It’s
gotten to the point where we’ve had it.”
Borough Attorney Robert Regan said the
addition of the pizza ovens may constitute an
expansion of the non-conforming use and may
require a variance.
Councilwoman Nancy Peet suggested Zoning
Officer Mark Berninger be asked to attend the
next council meeting to review the business’s
file, including seating allowances and parking
requirements. Berninger was not the zoning
officer at the time the ovens were installed.
“It’s a safety and enforcement issue that needs
to be addressed,” said Peet.
Mayor Patrick “Bud” O’Hagan asked Police
Chief Michael Marra, present at the meeting, to
have officers look into the concerns voiced by
the residents. He also suggested asking officers
on night duty to monitor the situation.
