The applicants for a temple on South Middlebush Road would have sailed through the Zoning Board of Adjustment approval process were it not for their desire to accommodate the concerns of their neighbors, the Board was told at its May 20 meeting.

Kevin Obrien, a planner hired by the applicant, Dada Bhagwan Vignan Institute, told the Board that the variances the application needs are as a result of the developer agreeing to move the proposed 21,000-square-foot temple further away from South Middlebush Road, in deference to requests by the property’s neighbors.
