Evesham Township Planning Board Approves Site Plan Waiver for Maman Cafe Patio

The Planning Board considered an application for a site plan waiver to allow a new tenant, Maman (a high-end cafe and coffee spot), to utilize a 500 square foot patio for outdoor seating at 500 Route 73 South, Suite A1, in The Promenade development. The applicant, Davis Enterprises, presented testimony and evidence to demonstrate that the proposed patio would not negatively impact site circulation, layout, footprint, drainage, parking, or impervious coverage, and would be in compliance with existing regulations. The board discussed various aspects including the aesthetic appeal of Maman, the location's visibility, the need for screening or bollards, trash collection, lighting, and potential safety concerns related to traffic. Ultimately, the board approved the site plan waiver with conditions related to fence specifications and subject to building and fire department approvals for any required gates.
