behalf of individuals, small businesses and developers in a variety of jurisdictions. Recently, Karben successfully sought a change to a local zoning law that permitted a municipality’s first-ever Active Adult Senior housing community. He also prepared a site selection analysis for one of the nation’s largest wireless communications service providers. Because he served on the Town of Ramapo Planning Board for five years, Karben has a unique understanding of the role community members and civic groups play in the land use process.
His participation in the municipal review of multi-million dollar golf courses, shopping centers and diverse residential developments, allows Karben to provide cogent advice on how to approach local decision-makers and neighbors along with legal expertise in all areas of local zoning ordinances, SEQRA (State Environmental Quality Review Act) issues, subdivision and site plan review, variances and special permits.
Karben works regularly with the region’s leading surveyors, engineers, traffic consultants and planning firms to achieve meaningful results for his clients and real benefits to host communities. His strong and longstanding relationships with local officials and credibility with land use review boards are buttressed by thirteen years of experience in town, county and state government.
