Summary
The township introduced Ordinance 2586 to accept a riparian-zone conservation easement on 31 Mount Airy Road (Block 2201, Lot 9) from Nicole Rosa and scheduled a public hearing for Sept. 23, 2025; the introduction was approved on first reading by roll call.
Bernards Township introduced Ordinance 2586 on first reading at its Sept. 9 meeting to accept a riparian-zone conservation easement on property at 31 Mount Airy Road (Block 2201, Lot 9) from Nicole Rosa to the township.
A committee member moved to introduce the ordinance for first reading, another committee member seconded the motion and the ordinance was advertised as required by law. The public hearing was scheduled for Sept. 23, 2025. The roll-call vote to introduce the ordinance was recorded as unanimous; the clerk announced the vote for each member present.
The introduction is procedural: it places the conservation easement on the township's agenda and sets a date for the public hearing where residents may comment. The ordinance description in the agenda was limited to the property address and Block/Lot reference; no additional terms of the easement (such as exact boundaries, restrictions or stewardship responsibilities) were read into the record at introduction.
Next steps: the ordinance will be the subject of a public hearing on Sept. 23, 2025, when the committee may hear public comment, take additional testimony and vote on final adoption. Copies of the full ordinance and easement text are typically available on the township website or at the clerk’s office ahead of the hearing.
