The order directed approval of the requested dimensional variance. Board members confirmed they had reviewed the draft. A motion to approve the variance order was made and seconded.
Key Outcomes

The roll call resulted in 6 affirmative votes (Fishkin, Warshaw, Wortman, Bartow, Weiner, Grasty) and 1 abstention (Herman). The Chair declared the motion passed. Discussion clarified that an abstention does not count as a nay vote but also does not contribute to the required four-fifths affirmative majority; the threshold was met because six affirmative votes were cast.
