Yes, I'd like to make a motion to open the public comment >> and I'll second that. >> Commissioner Cole >> in favor. >> Commissioner Sidell >> in favor. >> Motion passes. >> Uh so, uh
got the comment period is open specifically for this ordinance amending chapter 135 for the overlay zone. Uh, anyone who wish to speak, I will recognize first Scott Bennett who has his hand up. Uh, and we will start the clock for five minutes.
>> Okay. >> Thank you. It just took me a second to get the hand up. So, I have a I have the letter that I received, the certified letter. Uh, and I did take a brief look online today. So, I
live on 123 Wayne Avenue. I live three houses from Haden Avenue and I'm concerned I'm interested in precisely what these where these lots are 11.09 11.13 11.14
11.18 and 133. Um so I'm hoping you can tell me that. Um, and I'll just going to say, uh, in general, um, I'm sure this is going to pass and I just want to let you know that I oppose
it. Uh, I don't oppose the affordable housing. Uh, what I oppose is the added congestion on Haden Avenue and throughout Hadenfield entirely. every it's not every lot but I've been here 20 plus years and I constantly see one
house being torn down two placed in its place uh lots you know um being shoved in like behind Burl Hall it it is becoming overly congested and overly built out and I do understand some of
the reasons for it of course but um I I I'm just want to go on record in saying I dislike it. I think the zoning laws should be much stricter uh across the board and um and they're not. So the Thank you. But I would like to know if
you can tell me what the where those lots are. Uh so I'm just kind of guessing. Uh and I can just ask the first one just just and then I'll be quiet and let you uh respond. Is one of those lots where the um the current
closed drugstore is. I think it's the right aid. >> Yes. Yeah. >> So, uh, Sharon would I correct me if I'm wrong, uh, to describe it this way in very simplistic terms. From 807 Haden
Avenue, which is the, uh, office complex that houses like the the Quest farm, the Quest blood work place, the very last building in Hadenfield before the tracks. And if you think of all the properties back to Carl Senokco
on Haden Avenue on that side of the street, uh that is the overlay zone for the Haden Avenue corridor. Uh that includes the right a drugstore which is currently in a 10-year lease to be a new I think
something like a Cooper Minute Clinic type of thing. Uh as well as 7-Eleven, the breadboard complex, the gas station. Uh what this overlay says is if one of those property owners were to want to
develop residential housing, they would have to follow the overlay and our affordable housing of chapter 135 our zoning for that. It doesn't compel anybody to use that
those properties uh for residential, but if they do uh that's what they would have to follow. Uh >> to to echo and and so you haven't been maybe you haven't been following our meetings closely. Uh last month or a month before we did announce that in
2026 we are going to be tackling ordinances to align our new master plan uh to direct um adjustments to some of our zones for the exact issues that you were talking about generally about crowded houses and tear downs and things like that. We are tackling that in our
in this calendar year to update our ordinances to match our new master plan. >> I'm delighted to hear that. So thank you. So, you're saying there is a 10-year lease currently for the right aid? >> Yeah, that's what we've been told. >> Okay.
Um, and then just if you don't mind, just one other question, just a followup. If if um these properties, these lots were to be >> What's your number 128? >> 121. >> I'm sorry. Can you can you mute?
>> Go ahead. >> Me? No, no, not you. It was in somebody else. >> Okay. Thank you. Uh if if uh any of these um uh lots were to be developed for housing, are there restrictions on
the number of housing units, the height of the buildings? Um or >> that's that's what's spelled out in the changes. Sharon, would you would you want to address that? >> Sure. So the all of the bulk variances
uh or bulks uh requirements are part of the downtown zonings. I believe most of that down there is either D2 or D3. Um and that height would be would be set in there. There's no additional height allowances
um in the zoning for this. It is it is more the type of thing where you are allowed to put residential on the first floor um rather than just on second and third floors or second and second and a half floors. Um with the commercial
building there currently is no residential require or no residential allowance there and this would because the size of it the existing building and the um the number of parking spaces they had. We felt that based on the changes
that are occurring with with office buildings and people going away from office buildings except for um healthcare industry that if for some reason those started to become vacant that one of the options would be for the owner to switch them to residential. You
have basically the same um a lot of the same number of cars. So you would have the space for it and that would allow them to start transitioning. But however, if they do start to transition, they then have to um deal with the affordable
housing element and they're not and there's not that has to include some kind of affordable housing element in it. >> Well, that part I get and I have no objection to that whatsoever. And my final comment will be, of course, my fear is a developer could go to almost any of those lots and I'm sure offer a
sufficient amount of money that would be um very attractive to whoever owned that property. And so, uh it doesn't bode well uh to >> they could, but they uh but there are more restrictions they'll have to follow
according to this overlay. Uh they could have all of all along they could have done that. Uh, but this this will make it >> more clear to them what the expectation of this town will be if they do that. >> All right. I thank you for uh answering my questions. >> Thanks, Scott. Uh, Maggie,
>> hi. Um, I'm here with my neighbor Ed Mangold. We also live on the 100 block of Wayne Avenue. And we have I have several questions. Um there isn't a lot of information in in your letter that was passed out to the neighbors, but um
the first question is the I believe you explained that the the variance covers up to Carl's. Does it include the entire block of Carl Soco? In essence, does it include the medical building right next to Carl's
uh so station? That entire block? I believe it does. >> Okay. So, so then the next question is, could the owner of that property um build a multi-story dwelling in that
in that location? >> That current building I believe is only a one-story loctory building. I believe the zoning would allow them go to to go to 35 ft and they could do that currently even without this overlay. The the issue is several years ago the
the current owner of that property was attempting to build a multi-story dwelling on top of the current structure and there's no parking. There would be no room for fire truck access and it caused a lot of dismay particularly on
Wayne Avenue and the the other streets surrounding there because of the traffic issue. I'm afraid that this particular variance would permit that person to do the same thing again. >> So no, this all of the bulk requirements
are the same as they were. What this requires is that if residential is built 20% regardless of the number of units to be built has to be affordable housing. And knowing the current owner, they're not going to do that. >> Okay. Okay. And so then my next question
is why is this pertaining only to this particular side of Haden Avenue and not also to the other side of Haden Avenue? >> Because much of the other side of Haden Avenue was included in the third round. And >> so it's the same information on both
sides of Haden Avenue. >> Correct. >> Okay. Um I have a question. Go ahead. >> I have a question. Edna Mangold. I live at 121 Wayne and uh my question is what type of impact if this were to come come
to fruition what type of impact would there be on my taxes and the value of my property? Would it go up? Would it go down? What would it what would do there? I've been here 57 years, so I've seen a lot going on. And I'm just concerned
about that. And I'm also very concerned about the traffic. It is horrendous. Drive down Wayne Avenue any time of day and you can't even find a parking spot. If you live on the street and you want to park your car on the street, it
something has to be addressed about this and this adding on more is only going to make it worse and I'm concerned. Thank you. >> Sure. No, no, thank you. And to be clear, this doesn't actually do anything other than set the guidelines for
affordable housing. If somebody does decide to do a residential development on any of those properties, they would still have to follow the zoning. They would still have to go to planning. There would be a traffic impact study. There would be all of those things that
they would have to follow. What this says to them is in addition to all of that, if they want to build multi-tenant residential, they have to set aside one in five, you know, 20%. >> Yeah. 20%. >> 20%. Yeah. 20% regardless of the number
20% of the uh units will have to be affordable. >> That's fine. I don't have any problem with that. >> Which which kind of makes the project less affordable for the developer. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Thank you for clarifying. >> Thank you.
>> You're welcome. >> Uh there was comment in was there a comment in chat or was there Oh, that's somebody's AI assistant. Okay. No problem. Uh uh would anyone else like to make a comment on this ordinance? Okay. Seeing none, I will move to close
public comment and accept on second reading the amendments for chapter 135 uh in the zoning code of the Burough of Hadenfield for the overlay districts. Can I get a second? >> I second your motion. >> Mr. Cole
>> in favor. >> Commissioner Sidell >> in favor. >> Motion passes. >> So now that that's passed, we'll have a our second ordinance 2023-03 repealing chapter 63 affordable housing
in its entirety and establishing a new chapter 63 affordable housing. This is the first reading. So, this is where we announce this ordinance and we'll describe it and then at one of our next action meetings, we'll address it again for its public hearing and possible
adoption. What this is is the state has rewritten a lot of the language around affordable housing to bring it up to its current standards and the current laws. Uh, and this just brings us into compliance with the language. It doesn't really change the tenor of affordable
housing. It just refreshes the amendment. It refreshes the chapter 63 affordable housing in its entirety because it has been rewritten at the state level. Can I get a second? >> Second to I think we already introduced. No. Do you want to do
>> a second to introduce? Yes. >> Okay. I second your motion to introduce. >> Commissioner Cole >> in favor. >> Commissioner Sado >> in favor. So now we'll have we'll have a period of time where uh people can digest the the changes in the draft have
any comments at the open at the adoption hearing and uh that will be at our next action meeting >> the 23rd of March. So we'll make sure we get those chapter
63's edits posted to the website. please. All right. Thank you. Uh next we'll move on to resolutions. Uh we'll do these resolutions one at a time um because there's only two instead of doing them in bulk. So resolution 003 WS, the
authorization to endorse Hadenfield's fourth round housing element and fair share plan amendment as adopted by the planning board on March 4th, 2026. Uh, can I get a second?
>> I second your motion. >> Thank you. Sharon, could you quickly describe this? >> Absolutely. Um, so the affordable housing element is an is an element of the master plan. As such, when the plan is developed, it needs to go to the
planning board to review to make sure it's in compliance with the master plan and also to hold a public hearing on the master plan element. Um, they did so last week at last Wednesday's meeting. Um, they felt that it was in compliance
with the the master plan and were in agreement and and voted to pass the element. Uh and you are here now codifying that that the element has been adopted. >> Yeah. So the commissioners developed it. We sent it to the planning board for
their comment for their hearing. They approved it and it's coming back. So it's not just the three commissioners. It's also the nine planning board members that have also reviewed this on behalf of the town uh and found it in compliance and complete and we're just accepting and endorsing that uh as well.
So um that's what we're doing tonight for this resolution. Um, could we get a And we we motioned and seconded it. So now we just have to accept it. >> In favor, >> Commissioner Sidell
>> in favor. >> Motion passes. >> And resolution 004 WS adopting an affirmative action marketing plan for affordable housing. Uh, can I get a second for the adoption of that resolution?
I second the adoption of that resolution. >> And Sharon, quickly a quick description on this as well. These are all parts of the same moving picture. >> Correct. This is this this resolution. So the uh affirmative action marketing plan is part of the actual plan itself.
It says how we are going to um this is actually how we are going to market the units. Uh Commissioner Cole, when I was talking to you before, I thought we were talking about our spending plan. That's also part of the of the uh element that you just passed. Um the affirmative action marketing plan is we have to
notify certain uh state entities and nonprofit entities when we have units available in Hadenfield. We have to also put it in um there are certain ways that we have to market that information. They all have to be approved by the court at this time. Um they have been this has
all been approved and uh been approved by fair share housing. And so this just talks about how we are going to market those units once they're available. >> And to be clear, Sharon, these are the units that we own, not the units behind Burough Hall.
>> Correct. This is actually this is the guidelines that all of our developers have to follow also. >> Oh, okay. Good. >> We're not nec they would do their own marketing of them, but these are the guidelines that everybody for anything affordable housing in Hadenfield has to follow. Oh, so like the affordable
housing unit at the uh in King's Court or anywhere else. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Correct. >> Thank you. >> Voting on the motion. >> Okay. Commissioner Cole >> in favor. Thanks. >> Commissioner Sidell >> in favor. >> Motion passes.
>> Next, we'll move to public comment on non-aggenda items. So, this is an action meeting. So, we have two public comment periods. If anyone would like to address us about anything uh on your mind, uh this is the time to do it. I'd like to move to open the floor for public
comment on all items. Can I get a second? >> Yes, I second your motion. >> Thank you. >> I Commissioner Cole >> in favor. >> Commissioner say >> in favor. The floor is open for anyone to make a comment about anything.
Okay, Scott Bennett. >> Um, I did notice today when I looked um at your kind of review of where the Braftoft property was or I think that's where it was. But anyway, um I saw that
if I read it correctly, the deal that we had to develop housing on Bankraftoft, is that is that no longer the plan? No, that's that's still the plan. Woodmont Developers uh would whatever two had 25 had an LLC or
whatever the name of the the entity of Woodmont Properties is still has the uh the right to develop that plan as chosen by the commissioners. >> Okay. >> And they're working through it. It is not a quick uh process by any stretch of
the imagination. >> I've been listening to this for a decade, so I know Um >> they're actually in design the design phase with their architects and getting um they have to get state the state historic preservation offic's approval on the design also. So they're working
through that. >> Yeah. >> They give us regular updates on that. Scott. >> All right. Thank you. >> Sure. >> And to be just a reminder it's 6 acres. uh we still retain 7.15 acres of open
space uh closest to the park uh for that entire parcel and the school district will be breaking ground sometime in the late spring on their field work uh that they just announced as well. So they'll be developing their side of uh Hopkins
as soon as late spring. All right. Anyone else? All right. Seeing none, I'm going to make a motion to close public comment at this time. >> I second your Yeah, I second the motion to close public comment. >> Commissioner Nicole >> in favor.
>> Commissioner Sidell >> in favor. Now Sharon, you're going to go through uh potential topics to include on our March 23rd action meeting. >> Correct. Um since we canceled the work session tonight, we just need to go over a few items uh for the meeting at the
end of the month. You do have a number of proclamations uh on that agenda at this time. Library week, Lion Sight Awareness Month, alcohol awareness month, autism awareness month, sculpture month, uh child abuse awareness and prevention month. You will have the
second reading of uh 2023 0 20263. That should not have been 20230 tonight. It should have been 20263. >> Wait, can we also add >> Can we also add Arbor Day? >> Sure. Absolutely. >> Oh, for the environmental commission.
Good call. >> Shade tree. But yes. >> Yeah, I think we usually do that one in April, but we can certainly move it up to March. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Uh-huh. That is often one uh commissioner that we put it on the agenda but it actually gets read on
Arbor Day. >> I see. That's fine. >> Um so we will have we will have the uh like I said the first or the second reading of 20263 um on the meeting of the of March 23rd.
Um there are some basic resolutions you're going to have to uh we're going to be doing another uh emergency temporary budget for another month until we introduce our budget. Um pay vouchers, the general permits, uh approving the timing of the Hadenfield
um craft and fine arts festival there. Um potentially some awarding of bids depending on how they come in for the grass cutting uh and and bathrooms. And there is no uh authorizing the sale of surplus no longer needed for public
use. Um the couple of things that's going to add to that are uh as you're aware we we've talked about in some of the past work sessions is we're doing a number of things for the 250 and one of the things that we have been working with the PFH on is approval for
decorating changes to the exterior of our buildings that that kind of goes above and beyond what is existing now. So adding some buntings to windows or, you know, wreaths of certain types and things like that, candles in the wind, some of those things. Some of those
decorations may fall, for example, if they're putting baskets or um old wine barrels out, which were used for decorations, things like that. That falls under current guidelines, and we would like to relax some of those guidelines. So, we'd like to put a
resolution on to be able to relax those guidelines with pending approval from, you know, my office and the construction office that they meet what we're talking about. Um, so, but that would only be for this this year. So, we would like to put that resolution on if you guys are
okay with that. >> Right. Funny thing about colonial times, they junked it up, but they didn't junk it up. They had all their wares out on display. So, >> yeah. >> Well, yeah, it's different. Yeah, it's just different things to kind of give it that feel. We're we're trying to go with
that more Williamsburg type feel for this year. Um we've got the backdrop for it as Joanna keeps reminding me. It's just adding some of those little touches. So, um and more to come on those things as we move forward. Um,
I want to announce to you guys the farmers market is going to move behind the distillery for this year, which frees up King's Court for us for use all summer long. Um, we are currently working on um bringing in
different trades people to give presentations through the on Saturdays through the whole summer from we're hoping from May through September. Um, some of that may be music, some of that may be dance, uh, with potential lessons available. Different things we're working on that we hope to have out very
soon. >> Glass building, barrel making, like all sorts of stuff, >> all kinds of things. >> Wait, they're going to fit there? >> Well, so what we're going to do is we're actually I've been working with Ed um to determine the size. What we want to do is put a tent up at the back back by the
gazebo um so that these events are rain or shine, so we don't lose anything. and these, you know, we're making this commitment to have these people there and that way people still have a reason to come. Um, so how much we can fit to fit the trades people and then also maybe some chairs or or whatever else we
need for their setup so people can watch. >> And it also addresses some of the parking requests that the farmers market had um >> correct >> for their shoppers as well as their merchants. >> Yeah. And the farmers market will be using the front of Burrow Hall except on the day of the skirmish.
So they may have a couple vendors right on the plaza out front. Also, >> you know, I kind of love that this is pulling foot traffic on towards this side of Kings Highway. So I that's probably lovely for those businesses on this side that don't get a lot of that love. >> Yeah. And and Tommy from the distillery
is really excited about the idea, too. Um you know, it's it's a great little space that I think I think they will find that it's a better space for them moving forward. Um it's just Joanna is going to be meeting with him this week just to kind of we're going to help publicize and and get information out so
people realize to come this way. Um you know we have the parking here it you know so people instead of you know we'll be able to park here. The vendors will be able to park here and it's easier so they're not parking in Acme getting in trouble or CVS and getting in trouble and things like that. So it's it's here.
Um and I just think it's going to be a nice little space for them. They won't have as many problems. They won't have the kids driving through on bikes causing issues, things like that. >> Okay, good idea. >> And Sharon, when's the ribbon cutting for the police station?
>> They just changed it to April. >> We're working on it. We're working on it. >> March 26th. >> It had to be changed for March 26th because not all the furniture's in. It is going to be the end of April. We Okay, we they're they're still I guess I thought they had finalized a date, but
Joanna's telling me they may not have. >> No, we're just we're working on everything. We're waiting to hear from one more person. >> Okay. >> There are ton of requests for tours. So, >> I'm I'm sure >> Well, this will be a press. This is a pre and then they're going to be doing something like that after. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah.
>> Well, they lots of requests for press for for tours. I'll second Commissioner Cole. >> Yeah. those we should consider before it before they're actively in there. But yeah, we'll work on that. Um then I do have a couple of things. So, you know, as you're aware, we're we're prepping
the the budget and I and Alex and I should have a document out to you probably um by the end of next week so that you can start to review it so we can discuss it and hopefully, you know, make some plans at the April work session to be able to introduce in April. Um but based on that, there's a
there's a couple of ordinances that we there's a couple of resolutions and ordinances that we do every year for budget purposes. We're looking to put those on to start those. Um one of them is uh Commissioner Cole and and um Commissioner Cidell, you'll remember
that we do an ordinance to preserve our cap bank. Um it allows us that's an appropriation cap. That's not to be confused with the tax rate cap. There's municipalities have lived with two different um caps for a while. Um so
that means that our appropriations are only allowed to grow by cost of living, but cost, you know, the actual cost we're allowed to actually go up to three and a half. So they determine whatever cost of living may be. And I think I think they have it at one and a half this year or two. Um but this allows us
to go up to three and a half. Just gives us more flexibility. It creates a bank in case we don't use it all. Um, >> a bank for three years or two years. >> Three years. >> Three years. >> Three years. >> Um, and one of the other things we're
looking at is to do the salary ordinance. Um, as we indicated, we in all fairness to everyone, once we determine a police contract, we the other unions um usually agree to that same and then we give the non-UN
employees the same benefit that everyone else is getting. >> So, um, the last year of the police contract was at two and a quarter%. And that's what would be on for non-UN employees, which is what this ordinance is, >> right? And we did that same thing last
year. Uh yes, it was split. It was one split. >> It was split in half and a half like >> last year. But this is this is a full percentage or full rate right at the beginning on April 1 >> and that was only split because it was so late getting the state numbers. >> No, that split was
>> planned >> for Yeah, that was for another reason. >> All right, fair enough. So speaking of state numbers, are we confident we'll get them in time for the this plan? >> The budget address is tomorrow. >> Oh, it's tomorrow. Okay. So, we will we will know what the governor is thinking tomorrow,
>> right? >> Um, and that may or may not affect our budget. We'll see. >> Let's hope let's hope it positively affects our school budgets. And >> yeah, I'm not thinking it's going to positively affect anything this year. So, >> no, I don't think so either. >> Um, but we'll see. Uh, and then the last
thing is we have a flood plane ordinance that we are required due to FEMA um regulations to input it. they are changing the areas of what is considered the 100 foot and the 500 foot and so we have an ordinance we need to put into
place to um approve all that it is a long detailed ordinance that I will send to all of you um but and it's been approved by the state and had to go through an approval process the state to make sure because we had to fit it into our current storm water ordinance but
making their their changes but keeping what our the intent of our storm ordinance and they have approved that and that's what we are going we're looking at for the end of the month. >> Okay. And we do not have a close session tonight. >> No, >> don't forget reporters
>> before. Right. So before we make a motion to adjourn, uh we'll open the floor to the reporters in the room. I see Sam here. I see Liz here. >> Um I guess I can go first. Um for the um
what is it? the uh AHO1. Uh what does that encompass? Is it all just all of block five or is it any more specific lots? >> I'm sorry. >> For the um so for the the second
ordinance that you guys approved for the fourth round of housing for where it lists the specific areas, there's the the what? Affordable housing. Um >> the overlays, Sam. Yeah, the Yeah, the overlay the for the the second the first
overlay is like on Haden Avenue North, but the second overlay it said at Kingsway Learning Center, but I don't it but >> it's block 77 lot 5. It's on Kings Highway West. >> Oh, okay. Block 77. Okay. I think the the spacing on the Yep. um ordinance was
off, so I wasn't sure where. Okay. Block 7. Okay, I understand. Thank you. Um, and then for um I I know the ordinance just allows people or requires that if people do build housing on those areas that they have to do it affordably with
like 20% uh affordable. Do you know of anyone at this time who plans to build any housing on those lots? >> No, it's it's perspective. Um it's the same as during the third round we had um nine overlay zones. So, for example, the
Acme is an overlay zone. Um, the old Archer Grinder building is an overlay zone. Um, the TD Bank is an overlay zone. So is the what is it? Wells Fargo that's out there across from TD. >> Yes, >> that was there. Um, now that property
has been sold and there is a developer that's going to be putting something on that property. That is an overlay zone from the third round. So whatever residential component he has, there will have to be a 20% set aside for for of that residential.
>> Okay. So is that the only affordable or housing I guess that's been built on any of the overlay zones since I guess the third round? I Yeah. >> Um on the Yes. A couple of the properties have been um
have have been rehabbed and they have stayed as commercial. Um so which is allowable. This is just in case they switch to residential. We have also had a couple of parcels that have received approvals um that are covered by our
general 20% as the mayor indicates on anything over um four units. So, we do have two properties that went through planning board last year for that and we'll be getting some affordable units out of those two projects
and they are both on Haden Avenue. >> Okay. But on imag on like a different overlay than obviously not the the two you just approved. >> Well, no, that wasn't on an overlay. That was just >> they're on the we have a general encompassing overlay that that's over the entire burrow. These are more specific in these overlays are more
specific in the fact that if you build residential on them and it's one unit, then you have to pay into the affordable housing trust fund if the amount of a unit. If you build two units, one of them is market and one of them is
affordable. So there's that 20% rounding up automatically regardless of the number and it's not just the more than four that is our you know our general overlay. >> Okay. Gotcha. And then for the uh March 23rd meeting are you you're approving
well would be approving the number three ordinance. >> Correct. >> Okay. Um, and will the document for that show the specific changes that were made from the previous one to the new one for the I don't
>> Well, that's why we've repealed, right? We repealed 63 and new chapter 6. There's so many >> wording changes, Sam, that we've repealed 63 >> and we replacing it in mass. >> Okay. No, I got you. All right. Well,
