>From tonight’s Zoning Board of Adjustment Meeting Agenda:
“ROGER SCHNORRBUSCH – (Postponed from 4/28/09) To request a decision from the Board, as to whether or not there was an intent to abandon a non-conforming use, namely a delicatessen in an R-2 single family residence district. In the alternative, should the Board decide the prior use was abandoned, applicant requests a use variance to permit a delicatessen in an R-2 zone at 203 S. Van Dien Avenue, Block 4301 Lot 1 in an R-2 zone.”
The proposed deli is within easy walking distance of Ridgewood High School and is being aggressively opposed by residents near the location.
Mr. Schnorrbush is the proprietor of the Parkwood Deli in Midland Park, which is a favorite hang out of many Village of Ridgewood employees, most notably Police Chief John LiPuma.
