Woolwich Committee denies fourth TSSCO extension for Northpoint Realty Partners
Summary
After extensive discussion about repeated delays and escrow and tax concerns, the Woolwich Township Committee voted against a fourth 60-day Temporary Site Safety Certificate of Occupancy extension for Northpoint Realty Partners's site at 1600 U.S. Route 322.
The Woolwich Township Committee on Oct. 20 voted against granting a fourth 60-day Temporary Site Safety Certificate of Occupancy (TSSCO) extension to Northpoint Realty Partners for work at 1600 U.S. Route 322.
Committee members raised multiple concerns during discussion, including that the developer had already received several extensions, potential deficiencies in the developer's escrow account, and possible shortfalls in tax payments. The township engineer cited state-approval delays as contributing factors but noted continuing obligations still unmet by the developer.
Solicitor Alice told the committee it had "accommodated the entity extensively and it is time for the developer to have their house in order," language the committee cited as part of its rationale for denying the extension. The motion to approve the fourth revised 60-day extension (R-2025-275) failed on the roll call; Frederick, Nocentino and Mayor Matthias all voted no.
The denial leaves outstanding items for the developer to address with township staff and state agencies. The minutes do not specify immediate enforcement steps or new deadlines following the failed vote; planning and code-enforcement staff are the likely follow-up points for compliance work.
