NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Pocono Township Zoning Hearing Board will conduct a public hearing on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, beginning at 5:00 P.M. at the Pocono Township Municipal Building, 112 Township Drive, Tannersville, PA 18372. At the hearing, the Board will consider Manuel A. Varela's appeal from the Zoning Officer's December 26, 2024 determination and denial of Mr. Varela's application to construct a boulder wall within drainage and utility easements that are depicted on an approved subdivision plan. The Zoning Officer denied the application because construction with the easements would violate the subdivision plan. Under § 470-132 of the Pocono Township Zoning Ordinance, if a structure regulated under the Zoning Ordinance would also be regulated by the Township's Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO), any zoning permit or approval must automatically be conditioned upon compliance with the SALDO.
Manuel A. Varela owns the subject property, which is located at 5221 Sunset Terrace in Pocono Township, Monroe County, PA, in the Low Density Residential (R-1) zoning district. The subject property is further identified as Monroe County Parcel ID No. 12.6A.2.15 and Map No. 12-6363-02-99-0839.
The complete application is available for inspection (without charge) or copying (for actual copying costs) at the Township's office at the address listed above from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Anyone may attend the hearing and those who are affected and have legal standing may participate in the proceedings. If you require any special accommodations to attend or participate, please contact the Township at (570) 629-1922 at least one day in advance.
