Wyckoff committee adopts updated land‑use application fees
Summary
The Township Committee adopted Ordinance 20‑94 on June 23, updating land‑use application fees and escrow deposits to better reflect review and administrative costs; the clerk will publish notice of final passage.
The Wyckoff Township Committee voted unanimously on June 23 to adopt Ordinance 20‑94, which revises land‑use application fees and escrow deposit amounts in chapter 46 of the township code.
Nancy, the municipal clerk, read the ordinance title and noted the change will update fees that in many cases had not been reviewed in years and adjust escrow requirements "to better reflect the actual cost of professional review and administration of our land use applications," as stated in the ordinance introduction read into the record.
The public hearing was opened by the mayor and closed without public comment. The committee approved the ordinance by roll call: Miss Bogdansky (township committee member), Mister Boontstra (township committee member), Mister Melchione (township committee member), Mister Sheppard (township committee member), and Mayor Lane voted in the affirmative. The clerk is authorized to publish notice of final passage on the township website as required by law.
Why it matters: Updated fees and escrow deposits are intended to ensure the township’s land‑use review process is cost‑neutral and that escrow funds are sufficient to cover professional-review costs. Property owners and applicants for land‑use approvals should review the new schedule once it is published.
