MANCHESTER – A special meeting of the Manchester Township Zoning Board of Adjustment scheduled for September 29 has been canceled after a legal notice was mistakenly published in the wrong newspaper.
According to a letter filed by attorneys for Congregation Mikvah of Pine Lake Park, the required public notice for the application was placed in the Home News Tribune instead of the Asbury Park Press, which covers Manchester Township. Because the statutory requirement was not met, the board cannot assume jurisdiction over the matter on the scheduled date.
The application, filed by the congregation for property at 1209 Ninth Avenue, Block 1.186, Lot 39, will instead be heard on October 30, provided proper notice is issued and published.
Township officials said a new date in November may also be considered if scheduling conflicts arise.
