Stone House Hotel Public Hearing Continues Monday In Warren

WARREN, NJ — A public hearing discussing the proposed application to build a hotel on the grounds of the Stone House Restaurant in Warren will continue to be heard Monday night during the Board of Adjustment Meeting.

The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in-person and virtually on Zoom regarding the proposed three-story, 48-room hotel at the venue at 50 Stirling Road. The hotel will also have an underground parking deck with 37 spaces.

Instructions to join the meeting virtually are available by clicking here.

The proposed hotel will be located in the wooded area to the right of the existing hall near Stiles Road.

Maddy Realty LLC, is seeking two variances. One for use of the land for a hotel and the second for the height of the building. The proposed height exceeds 10 percent of the permitted amount.

The application was previously heard on March 1 where Frank Cretella, a member of Maddy Realty who owns the property, spoke about what is being proposed.

The project has drawn some fire from residents in the area so much so that a group of concerned residents, who live on Dillon Court next to the property, have hired an attorney to represent them against the proposal.

The attorney representing opposing residents and other neighbors questioned Cretella on several aspects such as traffic, garbage and delivery noises, operating hours, impacts on property values, and more.

A Facebook group against the overdevelopment in the township was also formed as a result of this application. To learn more about the group click here.
