this particular firm. Um, unless the board has any disagreement, I thought it would be uh probably a better move to do it per year because if we have any other situations where depending on what happens with the current application in
front of the board, we may need this firm again. So, [snorts] I thought it prudent to just give them the yearbyear >> and we'll use them when we need them. >> Thank you. >> Same as the traffic guy. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> So, do I have a motion? So [snorts] moved. Second.

without further notice. Can I have a motion to carry this application to February 3rd, 2026 without any further notice from the applicant? So move >> and a second. >> A second then. [snorts]
>> All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? >> All right. Sounds good. Now, uh, we're going to talk. Were we going to do any discussion about Oh, you don't you didn't have anything prepared? >> I did not have anything prepared. I did not have the time. >> All right. So, what I was referring to,
guys, is that once a year, we usually go over our uh applications and figure out what we want to tell the planning board that we would like to see fixed or changed or altered or worded differently. Since we don't have that information in front of us, we're not going to talk about that. But one of
these days, we will, right? Well, I think and I think in the less I mean it's the board's so busy right now, but I think what I with the board's permission and if this would you I would suggest I could send out the well I'm sorry I'm again forgive me I just got
off a plane so I'm a little out of it. >> Okay. >> In discussions with planning board the what we call the ORC the um >> ordinance >> ordinance review committee. Thank you. Oh my god. Anyway, Tom Jones, who's the
head of the ordinance review committee or he has basically put together a very detailed spreadsheet of things that the planning board has discussed, worked on, things that I've given some input, etc. What I want him to do, he's going to like doctor that up and and then he's
going to send that to me to distribute to you. So the thought was is with that list and the annual report that maybe we could take a month or so for everyone to kind of look it over and you know since you've all been here and sat through
meetings and and in that annual report I note three years of applicants so you can kind of go through that and and you can pick and choose what you think should be a priority for the planning board to update some of these
ordinances. So, let's say um impervious coverage, that's what we see all the time, right? So, maybe that's one of the zoning boards topics, high topics of priority. Um sheds, I mean, a few things here and there, generators perhaps, you
know, so uh or pools, um setbacks for pools. So, we I will send you the spreadsheet that they're working on with the annual report. And what I suggest is everybody send me because we can't send it to each other since it's a quorum, but everybody send back their feedback
to me and then at a future meeting in a month or so then we sit down and say, "Okay, this is" and then I could share the information with everybody >> and then we can kind of go back to the planning board and say, "Hey, these are our priorities for the zoning board." >> So an example of that would be all right, impervious coverage in a certain
zone is 20%, we'd like that to be 35%. Just as an example. >> Absolutely. >> Exactly. Yes, >> because we're seeing we're seeing a lot of people or there's a constant um issue with people coming before us only for that issue because of where they live and and maybe it [snorts] would make it
easier on the public if we >> doctorred that a little bit so that they wouldn't have to keep coming before us to do something that is relatively minor. >> Right. Right. And you know if there's and obviously since you since all of you have not been here for the three years that I have put in the report if there's something that
you know you see like an application send me an email and say hey what was this about again >> and I can send you the site plan or I can send you the resolution you know I can send you so I can help I can absolutely [clears throat] be a resource for you if you're curious about a certain application >> you know to see if that triggers
something you know you know and again listen you guys are out in the community too you're hearing you Yeah, we see >> of course you see you hear what goes on. So, um you know, another big thing right now that this board has seen drive-throughs. >> Yeah. >> Right.
>> So, that's the trend. Banks are no longer pretty much, you know, bank branches. So, >> you're getting um in a couple in a month or so, you're getting a new application at the old I think it's the Chase Bank. >> Chase Bank. Yeah. >> The corner. Okay. So, you're getting the Chase Bank because they want to turn
that site into a Dunkin Donuts and keep the drive-thru. Right. >> We went through this with Taco Bell. Right. >> So, perhaps that's something that this board >> would suggest to a planning board to alter. Yeah. Because we've been seeing that >> one thing I've been seeing is that banks
no longer want physical locations, but fast food restaurants do and they want drive-th throughs, but the planning board yet doesn't see the fit to approve that. >> Yeah. And interestingly enough, so if that's something the board were to revamp and update, uh, and let's say
they do allow more uses to have, that would take applications away from this board. But >> you you all you all both boards work in tandem together, >> right? >> Because as much as you see, they don't see >> like, you know, so you're really here to
help the residents. >> Yeah. >> You know, and the commercial applications that you've seen, you know, it's like really Why is it the hardship? >> Right. So, >> why are they spending so much money for one little variance that shouldn't be a variance? >> Exactly.
>> The zoning board is the board of no. Yes. >> Yes. Technically by law technically. >> Are those township requirements or state requirements for >> Oh, there's township for >> township ordinances. If if uh typically if a zoning board of adjustment is
getting a lot of action, that means that there may be something in congruent in the township ordinance >> that doesn't match reality that's out there. that doesn't match what's actually happening on the ground, >> which means we have to keep twisting reality and costing people a lot money
to do it. >> That's why this board every year by by law, by state law gets to recommend to the planning board >> zoning >> um what zoning changes you might propose because you're looking at all of these applications. All of those applications
uh are listed and then you make recommendations to the planning board. The planning board then will make those recommendations to the township committee and if the township committee sees fit then they will cause and they are causing they are causing ordinances to be written land use ordinances by the
ordinance review committee that's with the planning board a subcommittee of the planning board once that's complete and the township committee reviews it then they will choose to either introduce it pass it or not >> depending on what they see right >> nine times out of 10 they take
>> a perfect example is I sent everybody you know, here when I sent out the email last week, um, the nine applications pending for you guys, >> which is, you know, two commercials, and when you throw in some commercials, that backs up everybody else. >> Yeah. >> Um,
>> yeah, because they usually take more than one meeting. >> Right. Now, we've all agreed to try, you know, try a few new processes this year. So, some of the applications that are in the wings, I'm going to be sending I'll start with Tom and Ed, and I'm going to send them to Tom and Ed, and I'm going to say, "Hey, I recommend that these
applications don't need a plan or review >> or an engineer >> or an engineer, and I would and and a lot and sometimes, especially if it's like an impervious cover coverage, I can have Joe take a quick look and he can say, "Oh, yeah, they can just follow the standard lot grading permit application
that we have on the back side." So, which would mean he doesn't need to review it as an application because that's separate from what we do as the zoning board for the land use. >> Joe's a particular case because he's an township pseudo township employee
>> and he's also an employee of um >> Van Clee. >> Uh when he's reviewing that for us, would it be as the township employee? So there's no charge. It will mostly it most likely will be he will be reviewing it taking a quick look at it with me as
the zoning officer >> to say right and give an opinion. >> That's fair. >> Yep. >> And not charging the same amount he's >> not charging the Exactly. >> Well, not charging for a full review. Correct. >> Right. And a full report. Right. And and is sitting here, you know, and sitting >> right because the literally the charge
of a lock grading application is $400. So if Joe looks at it quick and says, "Oh, yeah, this can be done on lock grading." Great. then I can report back to the board when I distribute the application. No reason to have the board engineer look at this. The township engineer said it's it's sufficient with
a lock grading application. He's schizophrenic. Yeah, it's okay as long as as long as nobody gets uh >> So, um yeah, as as some of the newer members uh for their edification, Deborah just said about the uh our duty
to review what we did over the past few years and give recommendations is very important because we see these people come before us on every application and we scratch our head going, "Well, if one little thing changed, they may not have been either before us or it would have been a much easier application for them,
have less money and less headache. And to hear people talk out there, you know, this person would have done this, but it cost too much. It cost $500 to do the project, but 2,000 to get it approved. That's the kind of thing we want to avoid. You know, we don't want people >> And on the flip side, if I may add to
that, um, you know, look at the numbers, especially the last three years that I gave you in that report. You know, last year in 2025, we had between zoning board and planning board, which zoning board had the most, there were 30 applications submitted
>> to the boards. >> When I started eight years ago, we had 10. >> Right. >> So, post pandemic, you know, so many things have changed. >> We started 10 years ago. >> Yeah. >> Wow. Wow. [laughter] >> Wow.
>> So, you know, post pandem post pandemic. not not >> right post pandemic there's been a lot of changes and you know one of the big changes that I'm personally going to ask the boards to look at in conjunction is >> uh two family homes because the way the ordinances are written right now they're
not very easy for residents >> right >> and you know a lot of families you know kids in their 20some whether they're in college or graduating from college my own daughter is 26 right you know she she could not afford a home in the state >> I know we all know you know Um, so we
hear this all the time. Uh, a lot of people have elderly family members now that you want to build, you know, and the the restrictions that we have, although we do have an allowance for senior living, it's very restrictive. So, if somebody wants to add a little bit more to that, well, then they're
going to have to come to the board. You know what I mean? So, >> and it's worded such like we have the one on uh uh Northfield there, right? >> On Southfield. is worded like it's it you're penalized if you stop having it and it it it kind of makes you do things that are counterproductive, >> right?
>> Zony would if you if the person left Yeah. >> living at the house, Zony would have to go in the following year and and have them take the kitchen out, right? >> So, we had that fixed. >> I mean, Elantre could speak to this more than I could. I I'm aware that from the last couple years at the league that the
state has been working on a program that municipalities are going to have to accept like a plan A and a plan B with multiple housing >> and state plan >> state plan. >> So you're they're going to be a they're going to basically say okay here's plan
A and here's plan B. municipalities to my understanding. Yeah. Are going to have to pick one or the other depending on their zones and how it's going to be affected because I think that the state has got such, >> you know, negative feedback too that this nobody wants multif family homes
and >> Well, yeah. You're not talking in this town. You're not talking five or six people living in a house. Talking at the most two. >> Exactly. >> You know, and and and that that's doable. I mean, there's a lot of people that have big enough homes. >> Listen, tiny homes are very happy. I'd be very happy to give my daughter my
house and I'll live in the tiny home in the backyard. I'm fine with that. >> In the shed in the backyard. >> Exactly. I'm I just there's there's still a lot of discussion. Yeah, exactly. There's still a lot of discussion in that regard. And let's hope that they're not, you know, thinking about eroding home rule.
>> No, no, no, no. Right. >> I I agree with home rule, but I also agree we have to be a little flexible to accommodate people's needs. And the township just adopted a brand new master plan which all zoning ordinances as we know are based upon. >> Yeah. >> Have to follow.
>> So that is what the planning board is working off of in drafting many of these ordinances. So whatever recommendations are made, you can make recommendations, but whatever is going to happen is going to have to happen in accordance with that master plan. and uh you know the the township committee is going to be
the final arbiter of of what actually is enacted and what becomes part of the zoning ordinance. >> All right. Anything else? >> Uh nothing for me. Like I said, I >> you have an Do you have an updated member list with phone numbers? >> I will have to after tonight. >> Okay. Good.
>> I I I just out of procedure I don't send it out until we pick the chairman and the >> vice. [laughter] Well, I mean it's all ready to go. I mean, it's already, >> but everyone's names on it and addresses because we have some new members and we don't they're not on the list. >> Okay. >> No, all the new members are on the list. >> Yes.
>> That I want to mention. Um, I'll be preparing an a resolution. We talked about this at the planning board for our uh publication of notices. The governor just passed a uh former governor passed a law uh that is that reflects the
transition from uh traditional print newspapers like you used to get the echoes to your house to online platforms and that is going to affect how um applicants give notice for zoning board applications. So
>> is it going to be easier or >> it's going to be a lot easier. So the 200 foot notice is not going to change. They're still going to have to mail snail mail uh to everyone within the 200 ft. Uh but in terms of online publication,
the board is going to have to choose an online publisher that uh complies with certain criteria in the statute that has a certain reach in the community. >> Take effect. >> Uh this takes effect on March 1st. So I would like to do a resolution in
February so that we have those things in place and Deb and I Deb is going to have to check in with those online publications to ensure that they meet the statutory requirements. So once we appoint them as your official official
newspaper newspaper online publication source uh they are going to be able to meet the tests and we're not going to be pinged for having inadequate notice. >> Fine. That's great. The yeah these things are already in the works uh between the clerk's office and my office and the administration
>> because that affects not only our notices but any legal any legal notice >> and and most legal notices now are is it's going to be sufficient for it just to be posted on the township's website so long as the township's website has a separate page dedicated
>> and it's easy to >> and it's easy to navigate uh easy for the people to um you know to find it and it complies complies with the statute, we're not going to have to give notice in publications anymore for certain things. Uh there are certain things like
when we adopt a resolution and we have to give notice, we're still going to have to go to that online publication, whether it be Echoes or what was the other one? Morris Town Morris County Daily Record. >> Yeah. So, I'm I'm not clear whether Morris County Daily Record has the reach
that the statute requires. We're going to have to figure that out. >> Yeah. Well, actually, that'd be good because we've had a few applications where the paper forgot to put it in and and we're and the poor person had a had to adjourn it. >> Oh, yeah. Mo >> now that won't be the case. >> Right. Most of last year I put in
applicants notices if they didn't have an attorney. >> Yeah. >> Because I was too nervous that they were going to, you know. >> Yeah. And that can really screw somebody up. They're ready to go forward. Oh, my notice didn't go out. >> Well, and it's terrible for the board because you have an agenda, >> right? You have a schedule. They have
push back. Yeah. You can't I I can't backfill once I've in that 10 days. You can't do it. >> So, that'll make that occurrence a little less. A lot less. Yeah. Good. >> Uh ma'am, are you here for uh what are you here for?
>> Uh are you here for any The application for Verizon is for February 3rd. >> No, I just want to Okay, fine. I just wanted to make sure you weren't here for something we weren't doing. >> Okay, thank you. I I want to make sure because some people come in thinking that we're going to do something. All
right. Um so um is there anything else we need to discuss? >> I don't have anything. >> Any questions from the public? >> Question. [laughter] >> Yeah. Any questions from the public? >> You have any questions for us? >> You have any questions? >> We're an open book. >> Okay. >> No comments. [laughter] >> All right. We're almost done. So uh All
right. Um >> no comments either. >> No comments. Um, I just want to say that I'm very happy to have our former board attorney back as our current board attorney. Um, [clears throat] >> yes, ever again. You'll do it again.
Only allowed to leave us once. Uh, I uh I I remember back to that time when when Brendan and I were interviewing you and we looked at each other going, "That's it. We're done. That's the last person we need to talk to. The only person." Um, and um, it's just so nice to make
sure to make you, you know, >> thank you. It's wonderful to be back. I I've I've missed I've missed both of the boards in Long Hill. I really have. And I'm very happy to be back here. I was very upset when my former law firm wouldn't allow me. >> Yeah. >> As a client,
>> you tell this this law firm that we're very happy with you and I will >> that you deserve more money than they're paying [clears throat] you. [laughter] Uh, so um, all right. With that note, uh do I hear a uh motion to adjurnn? >> Motion to adjurnn.
>> Do I hear a second? >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I
