ReplyDeleteNew Jersey Appellate Division upholds Bais Reuven Kaminetz's Planning Board approval, says that banquet halls in schools are an accessory use and do not require a Use Variance from the Zoning Board.
ReplyDeleteTime will tell if and how this unpublished ruling will affect Lakewood Township's new ordinance permitting banquet halls in schools. A separate court hearing will be held on that matter tomorrow
https://www.faanews.com/2023/03/just-in-appellate-court-upholds-bais.html
If you read the actual decision, you will see that the Court never said that all simcha halls are permitted as accessory use to a school. Rather, they said that the plaintiff's attorney screwed up and failed to submit the necessary documentation into the record to support his arguments. So, the court was left with no choice but to disregard the plaintiff's argument in this particular matter.
DeleteThe judges basically informed the neighborhood that they have a good malpractice case against their attorney for failing to do his job.
Having the ability to put a simcha hall anywhere because it's a school is not right there's a Hezek to neighbors. The new grater building put up a hall leaving no parking for the neighborhood where is the olam supposed to park.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that they're renting out a hall? The Gratter building representatives testified at the planning board that there would not be a simcha hall.
DeleteThey don't have to rent it out. It is a perk for rebbeim teachers to use the hall for simchos
Deletehe is talking about the new gratter building, not the old one
