Council authorizes TWA for Jackson Park South development after MUA sign-off
Summary
Council approved Resolution R213 authorizing execution of a Treatment Works Approval associated with a Jackson Park South development of roughly 100–105 units; the municipal utilities authority and township engineer have signed off and council noted prior court settlement obligations related to affordable housing.
Township staff explained that the Jackson Park South developer is proceeding with a multi-unit project of approximately 100–105 units and requires a Treatment Works Approval (TWA) from the state DEP because full sewer infrastructure is not yet installed. A township engineer and the Jackson Municipal Utilities Authority have already signed off, and council heard that the township has obligations under a court settlement tied to affordable-housing obligations.
Council discussed that the municipal utilities authority is the primary system owner and that the township’s role is to execute the TWA application; one council member abstained on the roll call and other members emphasized the township has limited discretion due to prior litigation and settlement terms. "We have really no say on the matter," one council member said, citing the court's prior determination, while the motion carried in favor of authorizing the execution of the application.
