VILLAS – With about 150 residents packing the meeting room to voice their opposition to a proposed boat storage yard in their neighborhood, the Lower Township Zoning Board of Adjustment rejected the plan, unanimously.

The applicants, Joe and Eileen Baker, own and operate Hinch’s Marina along with other businesses. Joe Baker told the board at its April 3 meeting that he acquired the 7.5-acre parcel in the Tranquility neighborhood with the intention of storing 30 to 50 boats there in the off-season.
