The application by Vishwas Tengshe to subdivide his property at 16 Bolfmar Avenue will return to the West Windsor Planning Board Wednesday, March 20, at 7 p.m.
The application, continued from January 9 when it ran into criticism from neighbors, seeks approval to subdivide the property into two lots, one for the existing house and the other a vacant lot. The Planning Board agenda notes that “the existing lot is over-sized and is almost thrice the minimum lot size allowed in the R-20 zone district. The location of the existing lot at the end of a cul-de-sac easement results in the need for variances for lot frontage for both lots and lot width for the proposed vacant lot. The proposed lots satisfy all other bulk standards of the R-20 zone district.”
At the January meeting the plan met with criticism from both his neighbors and the Planning Board regarding the size of the proposed house to be built on the second lot, the number of trees that may be removed; potential water drainage issues; and potential impact on wells.
The Planning Board advised Tengshe to produce a revised plan that better addresses the issues raised at the January meeting.
