CRANBURY: Zoning Board hears appeal of Christmas Spectacular

[anon-8506]

CRANBURY — After almost four hours of testimony Tuesday night, there is no decision yet on whether the owner of a Christmas display will be allowed to proceed with it this year.

Having received complaints during December 2012, Township Zoning Officer Jeff Graydon observed http://www.centraljerseymarketplace.com/newsite/cp/main.cgi

This is a TREMENDOUS burden on the adjoining property owners.This is not like the July fireworks that is over in an hour or so; this is a disturbance that no adjoining property owner should endure. The zoning regulations are clear and this is a nonconforming use of the property. Its about time the Committee gets some backbone and takes a stance to stop this .

We will be so sad if this goes away - our family considers it part of the unique and friendly holiday season we have in Cranbury. Understand that there are extra cars and lights which might inconvenience the neighbors, but this is once at year and for charity. Hope we can keep our town's traditions and unique spirit.
