Resident presses board for Master Plan timing; planner notes 2010 revision and 2021 re-examination
Summary
A resident asked when the borough's Master Plan was last revised; the board planner said a full revision occurred in 2010 and a 10-year re-examination report was completed in 2021 and posted online.
During public comment, resident Julie Meira asked when South River's Master Plan was last revised and whether the two study parcels were included in the re-examination report. Planner Todd Bletcher said the Master Plan had a full revision in 2010 and a 10-year re-examination in 2021; Bletcher said he did not recall whether the two parcels were specifically included and directed Meira to the online report for details.
Meira also asked about zoning permits for six-foot fences on corner lots; Attorney Thomas Barlow explained the application process and said ordinance changes are actions for the Borough Council, with the Planning Board providing comments when the Council circulates proposed ordinance changes for review. Meira was informed that the Borough's annual report would also be posted online for her review.
Why it matters: residents used the meeting to request public records and to clarify how and when zoning or ordinance changes would be considered by the Council and the Planning Board.
