Planners give approval during applicant's third appearance regarding tire storage area
The third time is the charm for AAA, as Toms River Planning Board members gave their approval for a tire storage site at the Route 37 location. Representatives for the automotive service center had been before the board twice before — once in January and again in February. Planners at first expressed health and aesthetic concerns with the plan, but agreed this week to allow the storage site as long as it is fenced in. Last month, it appeared as though the construct a 6-foot high board-on-board fence around the tire storage area to block it from view would require a variance, which is why AAA representatives scheduled another appearance before the board. But applicant attorney Michael York said that, after speaking again with township …

Application first came before Toms River's Planning Board in January
After two appearances before Toms River planners, representatives for the AAA service center on Route 37 will seek variances for a proposed tire storage area during a Wednesday board meeting. The storage area proposed at the 1199 Route 37 East AAA first came before the Toms River Planning Board's scrutiny in January. At the time, members requested that health and aesthetic concerns be addressed by the applicant before they made a decision on the plan.

Applicant attorney Michael York said that …

Planners last month wanted to hear more testimony before giving approval
Variances are needed if a tire storage area at the Route 37 AAA service center will move forward. The storage area proposed at the 1199 Route 37 East AAA first came before the Toms River Planning Board's scrutiny last month. At the time, members requested that health and aesthetic concerns be addressed by the applicant before they made a decision on the plan. Board members at their Wednesday night meeting expressed concerns that the steel container proposed to house tires is considered a temporary structure — allowing it to be used as a permanent storage area could set a precedent for future applications. "In the past, the only applications for these types of things have been temporary," said board member Jack Reuther, adding that …

Planning board members want more information before giving the OK to Route 37 business
Planners want to learn more about a proposed tire storage area at a Route 37 automotive service center before they grant their approval. The storage area proposed at the 1199 Route 37 East AAA would have a 20 by 8 foot section to temporarily house new tires, and a 16 by 10 foot area where used tires would be stored until removal. Toms River Planning Board members last week raised health and aesthetic concerns and requested more information before making a decision. A concern raised by the board was that, exposed to the elements, the used tire area may become a "breeding ground" for mosquitoes. Applicant attorney Michael York said that used tires are not expected to be in the outside area for long, but couldn't say how often they would be…
