MARLBORO – An application proposing the construction of a 54,440-square-foot sports facility covered by an inflatable dome was not heard as scheduled by the Marlboro Zoning Board of Adjustment on Oct. 10.
Instead, the board carried the Amboy Avenue Partners, LLC, application to its Nov. 28 meeting. The applicant is represented by attorney Salvatore Alfieri.
According to the board’s agenda, Amboy Avenue Partners is seeking a bulk variance to construct an outdoor sports field with an inflatable dome and a storage shed, and a use variance for an expansion of a non-conforming use.
The site of the proposed facility is 185 Amboy Road, which is the location of the Centercourt Tennis Center at Marlboro. That facility includes six tennis courts, 49 parking spaces and a driveway from Amboy Road.
The property for which the new sports facility is proposed is 7.8 acres with frontage on Amboy Road and Route 18. The new facility would be constructed behind the Centercourt Tennis Center.
The applicant is proposing to revise the paved looped circulation drive around the existing building in order to provide access to the inflatable dome and to include patron drop-off areas. The application proposes 82 additional parking spaces and a paved driveway north of the inflatable dome for emergency access.
The application also proposes the construction of a 20-foot by 30-foot storage shed and a mechanical equipment/system fence enclosure, including a generator. No changes to the existing site access is proposed with the application.
In other business, a plan filed by GSR & SM Inc. seeking municipal approval to use an existing one-story building at 293 Route 79, near Harbor Road, as the location of a roofing contractor business is scheduled to be heard by the zoning board on Nov. 28.
According to the board, the application proposes onsite parking and storage for four vehicles. No retail sales, mechanical work or outdoor storage of materials will be permitted at the site. No site improvements or exterior building renovations are being proposed.
The half-acre property is in a Land Conservation zone and has 166 feet of frontage along Route 79. The building in question was previously the location of a heating and cooling business with a paved parking lot.
