Overview: During a recent New Milford Borough Council meeting, members adopted an ordinance amending land use regulations, specifically addressing front yard setbacks, fence heights, and driveway widths.

The ordinance had been reviewed and found consistent with the master plan by the planning board before adoption. This change aims to address residents’ queries about fence regulations and is expected to influence future residential property planning.
