WHEREAS, Soterra LLC has submitted an application for Administrative Waiver of Site Plan Review with the Princeton Planning Board for approval to mount along the front of the building an awning which will project four-foot from the building (“Awning”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Awning will encroach into Princeton’s public right of way (“Right of Way”) and therefore, Soterra LLC has requested Princeton’s permission to allow said encroachment; and
