- Meeting Overview:
In a development, the Millburn Town Planning Board has approved an updated Open Space and Recreation master plan element. This plan element, which is now part of the township’s master plan, aims to provide a framework for future land use decisions related to parks, recreation, and open spaces, addressing public health, safety, and welfare.
During the meeting, the board planner, Grant Pedo, presented the final review and public hearing of the document. He highlighted the changes made since the February 7th meeting, which included updates to acknowledge current elected officials and professionals, revisions to the vacant lands analysis, and a clarification of the township’s position on land acquisition for park planning. Notably, improvements to existing facilities were discussed, specifically collaboration with the Millburn Free Public Library, which were informed by the library’s strategic plan and conversations with board members.
A member of the public, Jeffrey Feld, raised a concern regarding the consistency of the plan’s data with presentations made by the Environmental Commission, particularly in relation to an open space tax. The board acknowledged the importance of ensuring that the numbers correspond and are not disparate.
The meeting did not report any new applications or anticipate ordinances that would require immediate attention, implying that the next scheduled meeting may not occur unless necessary.
