Lake Valhalla Club Pulls Application

has withdrawn its application to renovate and add parking at the 40-acre site in the township.

The agenda for the Zoning Board of Adjustment's Wednesday night meeting said the board received correspondence saying the club was "withdrawing its application without prejudice."

The board unanimously voted to accept the withdrawal. It wasn't immediately clear why the club withdrew the application.

The club wanted to add more than 72 parking spaces, including overflow parking in a grove and on a ball field. The application most recently was heard at .

An attorney for residents who oppose the private country club's plan had said the club needs a variance to continue hosting weddings there.

Additional testimony on the club's plan originally was expected in August, but the club wanted more time to prepare to answer questions from the board, the Land Use Department said.
