The WEA is a professional organization comprised of faculty and staff of the Wyckoff Public Schools. Court remands Aldo’s case (continued from page 4) proposed use to existing businesses elsewhere in the municipality, but the record is surely ambiguous. Even if the retail sale of alcohol is considered ‘incidental’ to the operation of a restaurant, we cannot assess whether it is ‘customary’ in the township...We also note that the ordi- nance does not specifically define ‘restaurant’ or ‘tavern’ and both are included in the schedule of permitted uses in the CBD (central business district)...We are compelled...to reverse and remand the matter to the (Wyckoff Planning) Board, which shall determine whether it has jurisdiction to consider Aldo’s application. We leave the conduct of the remand hearing to the board’s discretion, and we do not retain jurisdiction.” The judges, however, concurred that the Wyckoff Plan- ning Board members were within their rights to permit off-street parking by variance for Aldo’s after five local hearings in Wyckoff. “We...rejected Wyckoff (Shopping) Center’s claims regarding the minimum number of off-street parking spaces required by the ordinance...The board concluded that the principal use of the property was as a restaurant, and as such, the parking requirements for that use dictated the minimum number of necessary spaces and the formula for calculating same. As to restaurants, the ordinance included all ‘tables, bar seats, and parking needs gener- ated by employees’ within the one parking space per three seats ratio. We reject these additional; arguments made by Wyckoff (Shopping) Center concerning the meaning of the ordinance.” The hearings at which the popular restaurant requested Wyckoff Planning Board approval were attended by a number of residents wearing T-shirts that said “We Love Aldo’s.” Wyckoff officials said privately that they were glad the parking decision had been confirmed by the appel- late court and are now awaiting the review as to whether the Wyckoff Planning Board had clear jurisdiction in the matter of permitting Aldo’s Restaurant to sell both wine and dinners. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday in weekly sessions.

Correction The comments by Robert Madeiros in the overnight parking ordinance that appeared in the July 16 edition of Villadom TIMES have been clarified as follows: Mr. Madeiros said he hoped that enforcement will be pursued by the zoning officer because in the past, it has been neigh- bor versus neighbor, and usually a formal complaint on the part of a neighbor had been required before any enforce- ment or action ever took place. He clarified his comments further saying that the trailer or vehicle is never a problem for the resident who has it because, if he or she isn’t selling or moving, it’s not the resident’s problem, it’s only a prob- lem for the neighbors.
