Zoning Board of Adjustment Meeting - July 22, 2026

The Municipality of Princeton's Zoning Board of Adjustment held a meeting on July 22, 2026, primarily to discuss zoning variances related to residential properties, including a significant case involving 25 Henderson Avenue. The applicants proposed demolishing an existing home and constructing a new two-story dwelling on a flag lot, requiring several variances due to lot configuration and setback requirements. The meeting included detailed presentations by the applicants' architect and engineer, addressing site plans, environmental considerations, and compliance with zoning codes. Several neighbors raised concerns about access, safety, and utility easements related to Henderson Avenue, which is a private road with ongoing court litigation over ownership and easement rights. The board discussed the implications of these unresolved legal issues on the zoning application and considered whether to proceed or continue the hearing. Ultimately, the board decided to carry the application to a special meeting on September 2, 2026, to allow further resolution of outstanding concerns. No direct procurement, contracting, or budget decisions were made during this meeting.
