Resident Cites 'Livable Community Plan' to Advocate for Retaining Township Character Amidst Growth Pressures
Resident Brenda Justice introduced the 'Livable Community Plan' from 20 years prior, highlighting the EHT Visioning Team's efforts. She noted historical concerns about funding from Atlantic County for roads and the lack of a township center. Justice also discussed historical sewage routing that impacted her area and the presence of vacated 'paper streets.' She urged the committee to leverage existing documents like the Livable Community Plan and Pinelands regulations to resist mandated growth and retain the township's character.
Long Delays in Development Approvals Explained, Prompting Resident Concern
Moran Light inquired about the lengthy approval process for developments, some of which were approved 20 years ago. It was explained that state permit extension acts allowed developers to extend their approvals for years, even after property ownership changed. While negotiations with developers led to reduced housing numbers (e.g., 600 homes instead of over 1,000), the prolonged approval process is a concern for current residents.
