The Egg Harbor Plan Commission deliberated Tuesday on the proposed condominium development that would be built at the site of Mueller's Mini Mart on Highway 42. Original designs for the project called for 27 units in total spread over three stories. That received a chilly reception, and earlier this month, a scaled-down version was proposed featuring just 14 units on two floors. Chairman Joe Smith says the panel voted unanimously to approve with a couple of caveats.

The Plan Commission cannot weigh in on certain aspects of the project, such as a variance concerning the building's elevator shaft. Without a waiver, the tower is too tall. The developers will need to go before the Zoning Board of Appeals next to petition for an exception to the village's height restrictions.
