WAWARSING – The town planning board convened in a special meeting on Thursday night at town hall, approving in a 5 to 1 vote a special permit allowing an Orthodox Jewish Camp for boys to begin operations on June 29. The permit was approved on the condition that several improvements and changes to the Four Seasons Bungalow Colony on Geiger Road — the property on which Camp Yeshiva Meor Hatalmud seeks to operate and lease space from property owner DSG Holdings, LLC — be completed within the 10 days between the June 18 meeting and their proposed Monday, June 29 start date. The meeting was requested and convened after Weisz's application was denied at the May 26 meeting, deemed as "not complete enough for the Planning Board."

However, a few of the planning board members — even those who voted 'yes' on the permit — raised serious questions as to the feasibility of the camp operator's ability to make the changes within the time allotted.  > MORE
