Long Hill moves redevelopment hearing for 1106–1122 Valley Road to March 11 after public comment
Summary
The Committee continued the public hearing on a proposed redevelopment plan for Block 11401, Lot 7 (1106–1122 Valley Road) to March 11, 2026, after public comments and an on-the-floor amendment vote; the draft plan has been referred to the Planning Board for review under state redeveloper law.
The Long Hill Township Committee on Feb. 25 continued the public hearing on a redevelopment plan for 1106–1122 Valley Road to March 11, 2026.
The agenda described Ordinance 581 (redevelopment plan for Block 11401, Lot 7). During the agenda-only public comment period Charles Arentowicz and later Maryanne Noonan spoke about the property and related materials. On the floor, Committeeman Lavender moved to amend wording recorded in the minutes (motion text references "581-25" in the transcript); that amendment motion recorded one abstention (Deputy Mayor Dorsi). Lavender then moved to continue the public hearing, seconded by Committeeman Frank Liberato; the motion to carry the hearing and second reading/adoption to March 11 passed on roll call vote.
The printed ordinance text included in the minutes references the Local Redevelopment and Housing Law (N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-1 et seq.) and instructs that, upon first reading, the Redevelopment Plan is referred to the Planning Board for review under N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-7(e). The minutes record that the Planning Board will have 45 days to respond with recommendations, including any inconsistencies with the master plan.
The committee’s action at the Feb. 25 meeting does not adopt the plan; it continues the public hearing and the second reading to the March 11 meeting so the Planning Board review and any further public comment can proceed.
The Clerk’s office has the ordinance text and the Planning Board referral language on file; the committee noted the public’s interest during the comment periods.
