WAVERLY TWP. — Officials set a new date to hear an appeal seeking to reverse the Jewish Discovery Center’s plans to build a dozen cabins on its property.
The township’s Zoning Hearing Board will hold a hearing on the appeal filed by Terrence and Margaret Neville on March 25 at 5 p.m. at the Waverly Community House, according to a legal notice in Thursday’s Times-Tribune.
The board planned to hear the appeal last month, but the appellants asked that it be postponed.
The Nevilles appealed the permit issued to the center for its property off Miller Road, which allowed plans to build 12 cabins.
The 865-square-foot cabins would be built behind a synagogue and home with access via gravel drives and walkways. Each would accommodate up to six people, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a living room. The plans include waterlines and electric facilities.
Residents who opposed the plans argued the cabins will affect the township’s character.
