Monroe Township Planning Board approved a six-month extension to Nov. 30, 2025, allowing SoulBright additional time to record subdivision deeds that separate a solar field from an adjacent self‑storage facility on Federal Road.

Mister Baker, representing SoulBright, asked the board for the extension, saying that county review delays and internal coordination had prevented recording. "I did the best that I could to get everything resolved, but I didn't until the May," Mister Baker said. He told the board he had delivered the subdivision deeds to township staff and that county reviewers—identified in the record as Mr. Rasmus and Peter—would look again to confirm accuracy before the deeds are taken to the county recorder.

When a board member asked whether the delay was the county’s fault, Baker said the delay was his: "No. It's me." Baker estimated the new extension would run through Nov. 30, 2025; board counsel and staff confirmed the municipal practice is to grant six-month extensions from the date of the last extension. The board approved the extension by roll call; the memorializing resolution was prepared and then approved that same night.

Clerk Laura (identified in the record as having received the deeds) was noted as holding the documents for final review. The board indicated no additional conditions beyond the administrative requirement that the deeds be recorded by the new deadline. Baker thanked the board and left the meeting.

What happens next: Township staff and applicant will confirm county reviewer sign-off so the deeds can be recorded by the county recorder before the November deadline.
