Thank you, everyone.

I'm going to call to order the zoning hearing board meeting for tonight, June 24th, 2026.

Our applicant is no net NGO NHAT.

They own the property at 1666 McFarland Road, parcel ID 63-N-001 in the residential street loaded zoning district.

They are seeking a variance for the code section 210-210C regarding surface parking.

They want to install a parking pad in the front yard.

The applicant has not arrived yet.

So I will say again if that my name is Liz Baldoni.

I don't think that I said that.

The chair of the board.

And I will ask my other board members to introduce themselves.

Adrian Walker, board member.

Okay.

And I guess Jeff, can you help us out?

Uh sure.

Uh this is uh an application that as you stated, the homeowner, property owner would like to install a parking pad in their front yard.

Um, as far as hardships or anything else, that would be for them to um tell you.

And I can tell you that they're aware of the hearing because they dropped off the zoning or the survey that you guys should all have a copy of late last week.

So um where they are, I don't know, but I am not um

the

borough is not here to speak on behalf of their hardship, just to represent the borough.

Okay.

Well, um, but I guess I will read for the purpose of the record that well, I guess I will state for the purpose of the record that we have received um their application, along with as Jeff mentioned, a copy of the survey indicating red ink that they would like to install a 10 foot by 14 foot um parking pad in the front of their property facing Farland Road.

And since they're not here, um

I

don't think that we can make a decision in their absence.

Is our solicitor in agreement?

Yep.

Without the ability to develop a record uh with respect to the five factors, particularly the hardship um that the applicant is experiencing, the board isn't capable or in the position of rendering a decision relative to their application at this

time.

So

does that mean then that the decision stands that the borough's decision stands?

Absolutely the ability for them to contest it.

Yes, the borough's decision would relatively

stand.

All

right, board, is everybody okay with

that?

Yeah.

Doesn't seem like there's an alternative option.

So I guess.

I

just would also, if I could just state for the record that uh everything was mailed according to the zoning code and the property was uh posted um physically on their property, the legal notice.

So um I can't imagine what the circumstances would be for not showing up, but uh they were full, they they were fully ordered.

Jeff, in the interest of kindness to our neighbor, I will ask if it's the new who's been in touch with them most.

Would you just pop into your quick and do a little refresh and see if they got in touch?

I'm

sorry, could you repeat that?

I'm I'm in a park.

Um can we check attempted to get in touch in the last few minutes about if there was some sort of emergency?

Uh I've I've received no correspondence from them.

I did reach out to them and let them know that um it would be helpful that we had the survey with the property marked and and where they would like to place the parking pad.

More so that that's really needed specifically for the building permit, but it I thought it would be helpful more so just as a reference so that you all could see where they were proposing to place the parking pad.

Um, and like I said, I left I I spoke to him about that, and then he dropped that off late last week.

So he dropped it off after I posted the property with the legal notice.

Okay.

That's what that's what that's what leads me to believe.

I don't want to make assumptions, but that's what leads me to believe that he should fully be aware that this was happening today at six o'clock.

Understood.

Just uh again, out of kindness for uh neighbor, do we want to give them until like six fifteen before
