Ansell.Law is pleased to announce that Rick Brodsky, Shareholder and Co-Chair of the Firm’s Zoning and Land Use Department, successfully represented the applicant in securing zoning board approvals for the development of an 82,095 square foot self-storage facility on a site already developed with a 5,995 square foot retail center in Middletown Township.
In a creative and efficient design solution, the self-storage facility will be constructed at the rear of the site, maximizing land use while preserving the existing retail operations at the front. The application required use and bulk variances, along with several design waivers, which were granted after detailed presentations and expert testimony addressing planning, traffic, engineering, and architectural elements.
“This approval is the result of thoughtful planning and collaboration,” said Brodsky. “The project provides a modern storage solution to meet the growing needs of the community, while maintaining and enhancing the commercial viability of the existing retail use.”
Despite some opposition from neighboring property owners, the Board recognized the project’s compatibility with the area and the care taken to minimize impacts through buffering, traffic flow, and design integration.
