Restaurant or Retail? Planning Board Punts
Owner of T & C Corner Deli to apply to zoning board for an interpretation of use for ruling on adding seats.

The Planning Board carried a hearing on T&C Corner Deli Monday night because the applicant has chosen to apply to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for an interpretation on the use.
The owner of 1 Ashwood Avenue, Ted Kaczmarek, is looking to get approval for 12 seats for customers to sit and eat deli sandwiches in the store instead of just carrying out.
But the addition of seats requires several variances, namely one for insufficient parking. However, there was some discussion among the applicant's attorney, Pat Cerillo, and Robert C. Thelander, representing Earl Cochario, who owns 2 Ashwood Avenue, about whether the deli should have a retail-and-restaurant establishment. The classification would determine the required number of parking spaces: 28 for a restaurant and 16 for a retail space.
Eight residents were in attendance for the hearing because the property is currently operating with seating inside, a use that is not in compliance with the current zoning. Planning Board member Gary Lewis said the business would be allowed to exist in non-compliance while the matter is still pending before the Planning Board.
The applicant will revisit the application, pending a decision from the Zoning Board on whether the use should be heard as a retail space or a restaurant.
The Planning Board is scheduled to meet next on Dec. 20.

This drips of political correctness. Why, for over ten years has the existing operation been able to operate in non compliance with zoning regulations? It is 1 Ashwood, in the heart of the immigration sanctuary territory! Do you really think if it was at the corner of Springfield and Beechwood it would ever have been permitted? Lewis, in not enforcing the existing requirements for over ten years should be asked to resign, at once.

The people of Summit care about traffic congestion, parking, property crime and the rodent infestation in the CBD. MAKE SURE THAT ANY NEW RESTARAUNTS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE SPACE FOR AND TO USE METAL DUMPSTERS WITH LOCKING LIDS "garbage rooms" are a good start, not sufficient though. I have seen mice in Starbucks, The Office, Dunkin Donuts, the old Lamp Shop (please visit their new location at 31 Chatham Road by the DPW garage) during the day. Mice and other rodents are nocturnal so seeing them during the day proves that their is an INFESTATION as they are forced to forage for food during the day because their are so many. Years ago I saw a man walking by the diner wearing a clothes-pin on his nose. When I asked him why he said "this town is full of rats and (edited for content) and it smells like (content)" and I am beginning so understand what he meant. Email me: JustinBregoff@yahoo.com and I’ll tell you what he really said.

Freddy is a poor example to use. He is as crazy as you are Justin and he wears the nose clip because his claim that the City stinks is only symbolic. He was a city employee years ago and got fired so he has an axe to grind. Of course you already knew that because you hang out with him and the rest of the stray cats in Summit. By the way, are you the same Justin Bregoff I read about a couple years ago who was arrested for dealing drugs in town? Just curious.

He is as crazy as you are Justin and he wears the nose clip because his claim that the City stinks is only symbolic is a run-on sentence and should be written as two different sentences. I was a liberal arts major (an english major) in college.

That's me. Cut and paste the above link. I did 37 months in prison for having two ounces of pot in my apartment, two ounces of pot that a police informant coerced me to buy. What is your real name there Buck Jordan, tell us a little about yourself?

Hahahaha,wow, you really are crazy aren't you? Well take my advise Justin, the people of Summit don't generally take advise from drug dealers. Maybe you should try a Bloomfield forum. ;)

Typically it is considered bad grammar to use the same word, in this case the word advise, twice in the same sentance. Also, the word is spelled advice, not advise. Take MY advice: the people of Summit do not like cops, they hate them just like I do. Stop harassing the citizens of this town.

Where are Justin Bregoff's comments? I see the responses to Justin's comments, but not the comments themselves.

Thank you; I see that you have now restored Justin Bregoff's comments. No matter whose side you're on, that's a hilarious comment-thread there. :-)
