Zoning Board of Adjustment Meeting - June 3, 2026

The Municipality of Princeton's Zoning Board of Adjustment held a special meeting on June 3, 2026, to consider a minor subdivision application involving the Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart property. The discussion focused on subdividing the property to create a separate lot for the manor house, which is intended to be purchased by Woods and Wayside International for conservation, environmental education, and passive recreation purposes. The board reviewed detailed testimony regarding existing easements, conservation restrictions, parking, access, and zoning variances required for the subdivision. Key concerns included ensuring adequate access and utility easements for future use, the implications if the purchase by Woods and Wayside does not proceed, and the conditions under which the subdivision approval would be valid. The board agreed to approve the subdivision with conditions that the applicant comply with engineering, zoning, and planning staff comments, and that the use of the manor house lot be restricted to conservation and educational purposes, binding future owners to these commitments. The resolution will be drafted to reflect these conditions and reviewed by all parties before finalization.
