Zoning Hearing – Crawford

Event Details


NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
TAKE NOTICE that the Pocono Township Zoning Hearing Board will hold a public hearing on Thursday, October 13, 2022 beginning at 5:00 P.M., at the Pocono Township Municipal Building, 112 Township Drive, Tannersville, Pennsylvania 18372. The purpose of the hearing is to consider the application of Tanisha and James Crawford to appeal the Zoning Officer’s enforcement notice dated July 15, 2022, which alleged that the Crawfords established a Transient Dwelling Use on their property without first obtaining a zoning permit, that they did not first obtain a certificate of occupancy before starting their new use, and that the Transient Dwelling Use is not permitted in the R-1 zoning district where the property is located. The appeal also seeks relief in the form of a validity variance and challenges the validity of the Zoning Ordinance based on its alleged failure to permit short-term rental of a single-family dwelling anywhere in Pocono Township.
The Crawfords own the subject property, which is located at 391 Laurel Lake Road in Pocono Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The property is further identified as Parcel ID # 12.2.1.5-5 and Map # 12-6382-00-13-9380, and is located in the low density residential (R-1) zoning district.
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 7:30 a.m. to 5 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.
