- Meeting Overview:
During the Bridgewater Planning Board meeting on November 19, 2024, the board approved several resolutions, including the designation of a property as an area in need of redevelopment and the authorization of a contract for professional planning services. The meeting also addressed public concerns and logistical updates.
The board approved a resolution recommending the township council designate the property known as the Grymark Building on Route 22 as an area in need of redevelopment. This decision is part of the township’s ongoing efforts to identify and revitalize areas that may benefit from development initiatives. The resolution was passed after board members confirmed there were no outstanding questions or objections, moving forward with a unanimous vote.
Another resolution was the authorization of a professional service contract for Katherine Sarmad, the township’s professional planner. The board briefly discussed the need to review this contract during their reorganization meeting in January.
During the public comment section, a resident expressed concerns about ongoing zoning violations on Harding Road, involving a paving company operating in a residential area. The board clarified that it does not have enforcement jurisdiction over zoning issues, directing the resident to the township council and zoning officer for further assistance.
Lastly, the board announced that the upcoming meeting on December 3 would begin at 7 p.m., correcting previous announcements that might have stated an earlier start time. The board also touched on future meeting agendas, indicating that the township council would soon engage Katherine Sarmad to finalize the township’s master plan, with public input being compiled for board review.
