Dear Editor:The Islamic Community Cultural Center’s application for nearly a dozen variances to build a 28-unit apartment complex at 879 South Beverwyck Road is currently before the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Hundreds of residents near South Beverwyck have attended multiple meetings to demonstrate the community’s opposition to this ill-conceived plan. Multiple times, the scheduled meetings (such as the one scheduled for September 17th) have been rescheduled, cancelled. The Zoning Board of Adjustment has been very gracious in allowing the applicant to revise and resubmit plans over and over, but each postponement only prolongs the uncertainty and frustration. The Zoning Board members, although unpaid volunteers, have been professional but they and the community deserve a timely resolution.
