Maplewood Discusses Zoning Changes and Affordable Housing Project

Overview: In a recent meeting, the Maplewood Town Council addressed a range of issues affecting the community, with discussions centered on proposed zoning ordinance amendments and a new affordable housing project. The council plans to move forward with an amendment to the zoning ordinance, increasing the side yard setback from 25% to 30% in the R17 Zone, and adjusting requirements for Second Story construction and side yard setbacks. Additionally, the introduction of an ordinance for a long-term tax exemption for a two-unit affordable housing project on Tiffany Place was a significant item, necessitated by timing constraints with state financing.

Overview: The Maplewood Town Council tackled a series of issues affecting local residents, including a marked change in public safety trends with a decrease in robberies but an increase in burglaries and thefts, inadequate communication from New Jersey American Water on pipe repairs, and the town’s litter problem. The council outlined proactive measures to combat crime, criticized the water company for insufficient notice about water safety procedures, and proposed a campaign to tackle littering, all while considering improved methods for community engagement.

Overview: The South Orange-Maplewood School Board faced a contentious vote on resolution 4627, which proposed the reinstatement of Frank Sanchez as principal of Columbia High School. The resolution sparked a debate within the community, with numerous individuals advocating for and against Sanchez’s return. The meeting, which covered various other topics such as security spending, school grounds conservation, and updates on harassment, intimidation, and bullying (HIB) incidents, also addressed the departures of several staff members and the arrival of the new superintendent.
