Morris Plains Planning Board Deems Subdivision Proposal Incomplete Amid Application Waivers
- Meeting Overview:
In the latest meeting, the Morris Plains Planning Board declared a minor subdivision application incomplete due to missing information, while another application seeking site plan waivers was deemed complete. The board also addressed public interest surrounding a McDonald’s USA LLC proposal, emphasizing the constraints on direct communication with board members.
The board’s decision to deem a minor subdivision application incomplete was based on a report indicating the absence of 12 critical pieces of information and 10 waiver requests that could not be addressed without additional data.
In contrast, another application seeking seven site plan waivers and a variance waiver was deemed complete. The applicant had previously received approvals for similar waivers, which likely facilitated the board’s decision. This case highlights the board’s procedural consistency and reliance on historical precedents in their evaluation processes.
Additionally, the meeting touched on a current proposal from McDonald’s USA LLC that has generated public interest. Board members have received direct communications from the public and were advised to refrain from responding to avoid influencing the board’s impartiality.
