KENILWORTH, N.J. — The Kenilworth Planning Board voted to approve a subdivision resolution for application 25-002, titled Onyx / Kenilworth Corporation Property LLC, and added conditions requiring the applicant to pay for borough tax-map modifications and to record the subdivision within a set period.

The resolution, discussed at the board’s meeting and entered into the record by board staff, requires the applicant to pay $150 per lot toward changes to the borough tax map and to record the subdivision within 190 days of the resolution’s adoption. The board also required that the documents to be recorded be reviewed in advance by Kevin, Christian and the board chair.

The requirement that the applicant pay $150 per lot to modify the borough tax map was added as a condition commonly included in subdivision resolutions, the board’s counsel said during the meeting. Board professionals and the applicant’s representative also identified and corrected numerical errors in the draft: Lot A should be recorded as 35.907 acres and Lot B as 71.562 acres, officials said. The board agreed those acreage figures would be reflected in the final documents.

“For the record, Jason Tufel,” said Jason Tufel, the applicant representative, before reviewing the redlined changes he provided to the board; he described his edits as chiefly typographical and clarifications to match the applicant’s formation documents and the engineer’s measurements. Tufel confirmed the applicant had no objection to the clerical and numeric corrections suggested by the board’s engineering reviewer.

A member of the board said the draft resolution mirrors the board’s usual procedure and contains two added conditions: the tax-map modification fee and the 190-day recording period. The board requested that final recorded documents be reviewed by Kevin and Christian (staff/professionals whose full names were not provided on the record) and the chair before filing.

The board approved the resolution by roll call after a motion by Planning Board member Grimaldi and a second by Planning Board member Scuderi. The transcript records the motion, the second and a roll-call vote; no opposing votes or abstentions were announced in the meeting transcript. Earlier in the meeting the board unanimously approved the minutes from its Feb. 13, 2025, meeting.

The planning board opened and closed a public-comment period during the meeting; no members of the public spoke on the subdivision. The board then moved to brief closing business and adjourned.

The board cited compliance with the New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act (chapter 231, Public Law of 1975) at the start of the meeting and posted the meeting schedule on the borough’s bulletin board at Borough Hall, mailed copies to the local newspaper and maintained a copy at Borough Hall, as noted on the record.
