New HOTTPA plans call for connecting the club building to the motel structure. Ten second story mote
The 5,200-square-foot business travel scotland strip club planned at the Werry's Motel and Pub property would be 63 percent larger than originally proposed last August, when the conditional use application received procedural approval in a controversial vote by then township supervisors Bob Spano Sr. and Scott Schaller.
Spano, who owns the property, was arrested three days later and charged with violating the state Ethics business travel scotland Act by voting business travel scotland in a quasi-judicial capacity on a project from which he received financial benefit. Spano, who asserted the Ethics Act allows supervisors to vote to break ties, despite a conflict of interest, agreed to plead guilty this summer to other ethics business travel scotland charges settling all allegations.
Applicant HOTTPA including New Jersey developers Daniel Russo and Kevin Hickey originally said during last year's business travel scotland conditional use approval process that no rental units at the Werry's Motel and Pub property would be placed within 200 feet of the nude female dance club, in compliance with the township zoning ordinance.
But HOTTPA consulting engineer Jodi Litus said his reading of the ordinance requires a 200-foot separation of the female nude dance club from residences only. The Werry's motel units offering both short- and long-term rentals are on commercial property business travel scotland not covered by the 200-foot setback requirement, Litus said Monday.
Spano began construction in April 2011 on a 3,200-square-foot storage building at the exact location of the proposed strip club, using an old 2009 permit he obtained for a shed. That permit also required Spano to demolish seven nearby cottages. Spano refused at the time to say why he was building a "shed."
New HOTTPA plans call for connecting the club building to the motel structure. Ten second story motel units would be eliminated and made part of the strip club, but the ground floor motel units would remain. Resident Nancy Bittner argued Monday the proposed changes in the site plan violate the conditions of last year's procedural approval.
Fred Courtright, the township's consulting engineer, said HOTTPA still hasn't submitted in writing how it will comply with parking, stormwater control and other site plan requirements. Asked later if an expanded site plan might invalidate business travel scotland last year's conditional approval, based on a smaller club, Courtright said, "That remains to be seen."
Wiesmeth was questioned last March by the township business travel scotland planning commission about why the plan drawing submitted then showed the motel outbuilding remaining standing, in close quarters to the strip club. Wiesmeth said the units still make money but that the building would be removed before the club opened for business.
