    The Plainfield Township Zoning Officer finds that Synagro's proposed use is not permitted in the zoning district proposed. This is called a "Use Variance," which has a high standard for relief. An applicant must show he can't use his property otherwise without the requested variance. In this case, Waste Management makes millions in profit off the target site each year. Synagro has requested their zoning and planning application be tabled until January 2017.

    Re:

    PC Site Plan Review for Proposed Synagro Plant, a new biosolids processing
    facility
    ZONING OFFICE COMMENTS
    (All Sections refer to the Zoning Ordinance)

    -My correspondence in my November 17th letter indicated that the applicant stated the
    proposed use, Biosolid Processing Facility, was similar to an Agricultural Industry. This
    Zoning Officer stated the proposed use was more related to the Recycled Products
    Manufacturing Facility and/or a Recycling Processing Facility. The applicant agreed on
    the change. However a zoning hearing board appeal asking for a Special Exception was
    still required under Section 311.5.C.11 under the Commercial/Industrial zoning district.
    -Upon further analysis, this Zoning Officer now considers the proposed Industrial
    use (Biosolid Processing Facility) to be more related to a Material Separation
    Facility, defined in Sec. 201.B, which is permitted by right and only in the Solid
    Waste Processing and Disposal District (SW). A site plan (PC) review is required
    under Sec. 409, and additional requirements fall under Sec. 315.B.35.

    Relief is required from the Zoning Hearing Board for two (2) issues.
    1. A variance is required for the Biosolid Processing Facility to be located in
    the (CI) zoning district.
    2. A variance is required for the allowance of an additional use on the
    property. Sec. 401 states: No more than one (1) principal use shall be
    permitted on a lot, unless specifically permitted by this ordinance.
    -

    The applicant has asked for a variance to exceed the maximum height of the
    proposed silo and elevator from the allowable Industrial Use Height of
    (50), Sec. 311.5.F to a proposed height of the Silo (52.5), and Bucket
    Elevator ( 60) for the processing facility. Under Section 403.B, the accessory
    structures (the silo and elevator) cannot exceed (150%) of the allowable
    building height in the CI zoning district. No variance is necessary for the
    proposed Silo and Elevator heights.

    A variance is required for the allowance of an additional use on the property.


    Sec. 401 states: No more than one (1) principal use shall be permitted on a
    lot, unless specifically permitted by this Ordinance.

    Sincerely,
    John Lezoche

    Zoning Officer
