The partly wooded empty lot at the intersection of Marne Highway, Centerton Road and Topgolf Drive on the Mount Laurel-Moorestown border would be cleared for a Bank of America branch.
A representative for the Bank of America is scheduled to go before the Mount Laurel zoning board for permission to build a bank branch on two partially wooded lots sitting on the Mount Laurel and Moorestown border.
The Mount Laurel lot is at Marne Highway and Centerton Road and across from the entrance to Topgolf in a commercial area of town. The developer is scheduled to appear before the Zoning Board of Adjustment on May 7 at a meeting that begins at 6 p.m. to request a use variance and preliminary and final major site plan approvals.
Applicant Mount Laurel Realty LLC of Newton, Massachusetts also needs Moorestown approval, according to the application. The property is owned by Quattro Mt. Laurel LLC of Oak Brook, Illinois.
In December, the developer attempted to file an application with the Mount Laurel Planning Board, but was told it should instead go before the zoning board because a use variance is required.
"The Township planner has determined that a use variance is necessary, therefore, we were instructed to file an application with the zoning board. Respectfully, we do not agree that a use variance is required," the applicant's lawyer, Damien 0. Del Duca of the Del Duca Lewis & Berr law firm in Haddonfield, wrote in the application letter.
Del Duca maintained the 4,740 square-foot bank branch with a drive-through is a permitted use in the Major Commercial zoning district.
Plans filed with the application show the driveways would be on Marne Highway.
The Mount Laurel-Moorestown border divides the proposed site.
