Boonton Ave. Retail Complex Proposal Moves Forward

One-story restaurant and retail plaza could take the place of former Marco's Market.

All five members present at Tuesday's Kinnelon Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting unanimously approved a bulk variance for a proposed retail and restaurant complex to be built on Boonton Avenue in the space of the former Marco's Market by HMR Properties, LLC. The application for the complex calls for a single-story 6,000-square foot building on a 9.5 acre site that would house a small restaurant with limited seating and several retail stores which could include a bicycle repair shop and dog grooming salon. The developer, affiliated with Badanco Holding Company, has said he would look to bring a pizza restaurant, Asian cuisine or possibly deli in as the restaurant. A three-bedroom house is also located on the property, something the …
