The key focus of the meeting was the stormwater management ordinance amendment. The state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) had adopted new stormwater standards in the previous year, requiring municipalities to update their ordinances accordingly. The reviewed amendment specifically addressed maintenance and variances. The board opened the floor to public commentary but received none, leading to a unanimous motion to find the amendment consistent with the master plan. A memo confirming this determination will be sent to the township committee.

Other notable topics included the carrying of a Board of Adjustment matter for a property on Lamington Road LLC to May 9th without additional public notice and the discussion of a postponement request for a property referred to as 206 LLC until August 8. The postponement was due to the property’s location on the border with Bridgewater and the need to address access issues through Bridgewater first.

The board also confirmed the extension for Somerset Hill Center and adopted resolutions for variance applications concerning properties on Fairview Avenue and a bakery in Pottersville. In addition to these property matters, the meeting addressed scheduling for a hearing on a property at the corner site of a former bank.
