The Village of Newark Planning and Zoning Boards will meet in early November to review two key property proposals, including a subdivision on Silver Hill Road and a request for a bed and breakfast permit for a property on Grant Street.

The Planning Board meeting is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 4, at 6:30 p.m., in the Village Courtroom at Newark City Hall, 100 East Miller Street. The agenda includes reviewing two projects. A proposal led by Richard Doyle, Cynthia and Daniel Barrett seeks approval to divide a 27.834-acre parcel on Silver Hill Road into two parcels, with the main parcel holding 27.019 acres and the smaller parcel consisting of 0.815 acres. Additionally, applicants are requesting multiple modifications to the lot size, frontage and depth requirements, as well as the special use permit to enable utility use in the residential R-1 district.

A second project will consider a special use permit application submitted by Ava Holly Lewis, who plans to build a bed and breakfast at 131 Grant Street. This property is also located in an R-1 residential zone and the permit requires board approval.

The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) will consider the same project proposals at its own meeting on Tuesday, November 12 at 6:30 pm in the Village Courtroom. ZBA members will review requested changes, including adjustments to lot area, frontage and depth specifications for the Silver Hill Road property, as well as an application for a special use permit for utility operations in the residential district. The board will also consider Lewis’ request for a special use permit for the Grant Street bed-and-breakfast.

Both sessions will open with a workshop at 18.00, followed by formal project evaluations at 18.30.
