At a glance: Board of Adjustment approves three variance applications and adopts two resolutions

Clark Township — The Clark Township Board of Adjustment took final actions on multiple applications at its April 27 meeting, approving three calendar items and adopting two written resolutions left from prior hearings.

Key decisions

- Hunter Avenue Partners LLC (calendar 5‑26, 330 Westfield Ave): The board approved the project that had previously been discussed, granting density and bulk variances with the condition that the applicant comply with planner and engineer report comments; the applicant committed to payment‑in‑lieu for sidewalks where proposed and clarified the houses will be two stories and under the 35‑foot height limit. The vote was recorded in favor by the full board.

- David Lopes and Nancy Costa (calendar 06/2026, 53 Coldaven Road): Homeowners seeking three variances to add a second‑story addition, enclose a side porch and modestly increase coverage were approved after the applicants presented plans and supporting examples from the neighborhood; two neighbors spoke in support. The board said a written resolution will be available next month, after which the applicants may pursue building permits.

- Jerry Scaturro (calendar 6‑7‑26, 306–308 Westfield Ave): See separate article for full coverage. The board approved variances for a four‑unit development (two buildings) after technical testimony and public comment; conditions will be memorialized.

Resolutions

The board adopted two resolutions from previous hearings: calendar 4‑26 (Alyanna and Ryan Landolfi, 78 Hutchins Street) and calendar 3‑26 (Catherine Golich, 333 Carolina Street), both recorded as approved by roll call.

Procedure and next steps

For all approved items the board recorded motions conditioned on compliance with planning and engineering memoranda; written resolutions will be finalized and made available at the next meeting. Applicants may not file for building permits until the resolution is memorialized and any outstanding technical comments are addressed.
