>> here. Mr. >> here. >> Mr. Ben here. >> Mr. Quillin >> here. Miss uh >> here. >> And Mr. B. Yes. >> And for uh board council, we have Mr. Warner. >> We have for our board planner, Mr.
Mahaney >> here. >> And we have our engineer Phil >> and I'm Rad. I'm here as well. >> Thank you. Um before we move on, I just for anyone
that may be here um for the Piccolo Schoolhouse Road Line uh application or the uh the uh the Ford application, um they will not be heard tonight. They've been carried. Our Larry will explain that. But anybody here that wants to be
here for those for the uh um here or in person or online, we will not be hearing those will be carried till March 16th. So don't need to waste any more of your time. Mr. Mr. Warner will make it official. >> Certainly, Mr. Chairman, as as the
chairman stated, both uh PBO8-25 Mark and Lynn Piccolo, uh block 3501, lot 635, Schoolhouse Lane, uh continuation of Minor Subdivision, and Neielson Ford of Marstown, PB10-25,
block 10, 2011, lots 5, 9,11, and 12, 170 Richdale Avenue. Uh the uh reconstruction of payment areas and other uh matters. Uh both of those matters are being adjourned without further at the request of the applicant
and with the consent of objectors uh without further notice. So this is the notice uh they'll be carried to March 16th each one of them March 16th without further notice. Uh and we have extensions to act through at least the
end of March for each of those two matters. Uh but everyone is free to uh uh remain with us for the rest of our exciting agenda uh matters uh that are on you're free to stay. Thank you.
>> Okay. Thank you, Mr. Warner. Okay. Now, moving on to the back to the agenda. Um first thing we have is the uh consideration for approval of minutes from our January 12th meeting regular and close session. And any questions, comments? If not, can I have a motion to
accept those minutes? I'll make a motion. >> Second. All in favor? >> I I Okay. I'm >> Do we I'm abstaining. Wasn't here. >> These are the minutes from uh the uh the the 12th.
>> Yeah, I wasn't here. >> Yeah, I wasn't here. >> Two extensions. Ryan, I'll note those for the record. >> Okay. >> Um I just have a quick correction and that is that I was absent. So, I'm not listed on either of the minutes. >> I will update that. Thank you.
>> Yeah, no worries. >> And we'll assume that the motion to adopt is as revised. >> Correct. >> Okay. All in favor? >> I >> I thank you. That's for both. >> Okay. And we can move on to the uh our
resolutions. We have the two resolutions PP 1425 of the more school district. >> Yes, Mr. Chairman. That was uh the board will recall a capital project review to construct synthetic turf field uh at 10
Jane Way. Uh the board uh unanimously as I recall and as I'm confirming now uh uh found that the proposal was not inconsistent with the goals and objectives of the master plan and offered several recommendations uh
including but not limited to uh recommending that uh both the school district and the department of education uh consider the concerns raised by the township's environmental commissions in their review men memorandum and their addendum there too, as well as there
being compliance with the requirements of the tree replacement plan. Uh the provision of additional on-site parking andor otherwise working uh with the stakeholders to improve the parking situation along Elder Drive and also recommended of course was directing any
portable speakers that are used on the fields uh to face away from the surrounding residential uses. So, if that is an accurate memorialization of the board's recommendations, that's all we were allowed to do for the capital
project review uh as set forth in this resolution. Uh then I'll find out if I'm correct and we'll uh have a motion, a second, and a roll call vote. >> Any comments on the resolution? >> Yeah. I will entertain a motion to
>> I move that we approve the resolution. Is there a second? >> I'll second it. Roll call. >> Mr. Flowers. >> Yes. M wasn't here. Miss uh >> Mr. Rabbits. >> Yes. >> Miss Murphy.
>> I abstain. I wasn't here. >> Mr. Venois. >> Yes. >> Mr. Quillin. >> Yes. >> Miss Grigia. >> I abstain. I wasn't here. >> And I'm sorry. Miss Van order >> also wasn't here. >> And Chairman B. >> Yes. >> Motion carried. >> Thank you.
>> I think Mr. Barrett Mr. here. I thought he wasn't. >> He's voting right. >> Yes, Mr. >> Yes, we have a Yes. >> Is that our 70? >> Yes. >> Okay. On the resolution as well. Okay.
Great. I'm not going to stop there though. We're going to see if we can go two for two. 71 PB 1525 Morristown Motors. Okay, the the push hopefully not pushing my luck. The uh Bartown Motors, Inc. that was a minor site plan approval uh and bulk variance relief uh for the
installation of a generator uh electric vehicle charging station and electrical transformers uh at 169 171 Richdale Avenue. the bulk variance was a setback variance for the generator alone as an accessory structure as I recall from a
property line that really was sort of a dividing line uh for the site and the same owners uh uh uh owning both uh sides of that or both lots. In any event, the board found that the minor site plan approval should be granted and
that both variance relief granted as well. uh 70 unanimous approval. Again, and as always, uh with numerous conditions to mitigate any potential potential detriments associated with the relief granted, including the proposed
generator to be tested no more than one time per month, only between the hours of 9 and 5, uh as well as several other uh conditions. So again, if it's an accurate memorialization of the board's decision, uh then then it'll be approved
by way of a motion. Second, roll. >> Any comments on this resolution? >> I'll move it, Mr. Chairman. >> Second. >> Call the RO. >> Mr. Flowers. >> Yes. >> Mr. Rabbits.
>> Yes. >> Mr. Benwa. >> Yes. >> Mr. Quillin. >> Yes. >> Mr. B. Yes, >> Mr. Barrett. >> Yes. >> And we have uh members, Miss Van Order, Mr. Nun, and Miss Murphy, and Miss Grigley were all uh ineligible.
Motion is carried. >> Thank you. >> We went two for two. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll stop there. >> Come on. Keep pressing your >> Okay, so moving on to our public
hearings. The one the one that remains um PB1625 Morris County Sheriff's Department, you want to introduce that for us? So much for not pressing my luck, Mr. Chairman. I'll continue while they're
getting ready just to let the board know and the public know that uh the notice was satisfied to the extent required by the municipal land use law. Uh, and uh that's all the uh time they're going to get to prep.
Okay. But because I'm not going to sing a few bars, that's it. That's >> good evening everybody. I'm Christopher Vitz. I'm the director of public works county Mars. I've been with Mars County for about 29 years now. Um hope to
remain another 10 years. Um, so I have some continuity here at the county. Um, we're here tonight to discuss the replacement of our existing uh Mars County Sheriff's Office K9 facility that's on West Panel Avenue. Um, the existing building was built
approximately 40 years ago. >> And I apologize for interrupting Mr. Vitz, but to the extent this uh might help being testimony so you don't have to repeat it under oath or anyone else does, I'll what I'll do is I'll swear you in. Uh, and do you have any other witnesses who will be testifying?
>> Yes, I do. is Chris Nesser from French. >> Okay. >> And Susan Deart from USA Architects. >> Okay. So, we have our architect and our engineer and uh you'll you'll be presenting, but why don't I swear you in so it'll be fact testimony as well. So, all three of you as well as our two
board professionals will raise your right hands. Uh do all of you swear to God or affirm that the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. >> Thank you. It is a public hearing. Uh but as a reminder for the board and the members of the public uh as was the uh
application for Marstown school uh excuse me Mars school district the turf field. This is a capital project review under section 31A. Uh the county is uh generally exempt from zoning. Uh and uh so we are in that same role if you will
to uh uh uh reflect uh our opinion as a board uh based on the opinions provided uh by the experts as well as uh our planner who is an expert in and of herself. Uh and uh as to the master plan consistency uh of the project uh as well
as we can make recommendations. uh we do not have the ability to deny uh nor do we have the ability to impose conditions uh because it is a capital project review not a development application hearing. So I know the board
knows that I believe the public is learning and knows that. Um so please proceed. >> Thank you. Um, as I was saying, the uh the proposed facility replaces an existing facility that was built approximately 40 years ago, which is
actually a a mobile trailer that's bolted together. Um, the new facility would be 5,500 square ft, and it would um be capable of of housing during the day, 14 dogs. Um, and they're there specifically for training um for our
sheriff's office. So, I'll turn it over to Chris Ner from Carlo Associates um for additional testimony and then it'll go to >> Okay. And then, of course, it is a public hearing. Uh board members, professionals, and public will have an
opportunity to ask any questions as well as uh to make uh comments at the appropriate time. And and you've already been sworn in, Mr. Nuser, but you're you're an engineer, correct? >> Yes, sir. uh licensed in the state of New Jersey. >> I am >> have been accepted as an expert in that
field by uh land use boards andor courts. >> Yes. >> In the state of New Jersey. >> Yes. >> Thank you. Defer to the chair for your acceptance. >> Yes. We accept your credentials. Go ahead. >> All right. Should we >> What do you need? Let them know. Uh
there was a >> the one exhibit >> one exhibit that >> site plan exhibit uh with January 20th date. >> Yes, >> it will be up in a minute. Help is on the way.
Was it ignoring while we're waiting for that to come up situation on site and the plans they have before we do that because this is located centrally in this property very large property that county that has
a number of facilities on it including as we said uh already has the canine training Did you carry the microphone with you because this is all being recorded. So, >> sorry. Thank you. So the properties outlined
in this solid line >> and we'll just reflect that this is exhibit A1 applicants one and it has the date I mentioned I think January 20 >> I don't think the microphone is on >> Oh >> yours is
>> January 2020 2026 and it's uh called site plan exhibit Thank you. >> Okay, now we're good to go. So the dark line outlines the property.
You can see here this yellow spot in the middle. That's the proposed location for the K9 Training Building. The existing is located about 200 ft to the north of it, closer
uh to West Hanover Avenue. Um and so originally for the current building was there. This facility was located where we're putting it now. So, it was down here, got moved up top.
>> So, I if I understand correctly, you're going back to the location, the prior location, not the most recent location, >> right? The original I would call it the original location. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Um, on this plan, we've added a um couple of
things on here. What are some dimensions that are impossible to read? So, I'm glad I committed them all to memory. Uh, the other is the redevelopment zone that was recently passed as part of your
affordable housing plan, the portion of the county's property. Uh, that along with part of the ARC property that's going to be turned into affordable housing. Leave it that. Um so the current
facility is about 435 ft from the property line of that um of that new property. The new facility is about 400 ft from there. So very similar in distance and still quite far away. Uh to
the south to the residential development uh beyond the property once you go through all the trees it's 972 ft down to that nearest property line. So again, it's it's quite a distance away.
Topographically uh from the proposed location going south and east, it drops off uh so it gets down lower in elevation and then it keeps rising up from that site up to um
to West Hanover A that I'll bring it with me. Okay. So, that that you can see in the plans that the the proposed location is significantly lower in elevation than the current building to the point where
from West Han over A, you're not going to be able to see this building. It's just going to be down below uh the ey line from the street. Uh again, this is a 5,500 square foot building, one story. Uh it has um
kennels, runs on it. Um on the rear on the east side of the building, and actually while I'm talking, if the IT person could bring up let's say
GC 1.3 from our plan set. Thank you. Uh so the improvements here are fairly limited because we're working within this existing site. There's already a loop driveway that
goes um past the existing facility and then around well I'll maybe be um around and back up to the uh into the main drive network on the site. and that's being widened out a little bit. Right now, the sheriff's
officers park kind of along the edge of that drive. There's no dedicated parking for it. And so, um, we're widening it out a little bit to make it operate a little bit better and also providing some dedicated parking
um next to the building, including an accessible stall that doesn't currently exist. Um, you know, the site's being built into the, you know, the grade of the site
where there's a wall on the east and southern side. Can you go >> uh the survey is separate file. There should be another site plan. Um, and otherwise, like I said, it's
it's a it's a pretty straightforward development, just relocating this facility about 200 250 ft down the hill here and um, you know, modernizing it with um, you know, all the the features that they're looking for,
connecting to all these existing utilities, all those kinds of things. Uh there was some discussion at the TCC meeting about sound volumes, uh impacts that the dogs may have on the neighboring properties.
We looked into this and you know, the average dog bark is 80 to 90 dB. Uh, I wasn't measuring the sheriff's officer's dogs. I can't, you know, I'm going off of a,
you know, a general number of 80 to 90 dB. And so at 400 ft with no attenuation other than the distance of it, uh, 90 dB turns into 47 1.5 dB
at 970 ft. So to the southern property line again with no attenuation 90 dB turns into 39.8. Um so the nighttime threshold for the noise for the noise code is 50
dB daytime being 65 >> and that's 50 at the property line. >> 50 at the property line >> and that's with it without that's with attenuation it would be lower. Correct. >> Right. And so the one of the other
things that um they do at the site is on the chain link fence that surrounds the kennels, they have um kind of like a all weather quilt if you will, like a blanket that
they hang on there and it helps absorb noise on top of it. So I don't have specifications for it to tell you how much it would mitigate that noise, but suffice to say that it would mitigate the noise further than uh the the
numbers that I presented to you because again that was unmitigated and those would meet the standard. And I think it's also important to note that again unless a trainer is uh on vacation or away,
their dog is with them and is at home. So the dogs don't stay overnight unless they're away for some reason and then a dog may be staying overnight. Um so realistically and you know we don't anticipate any impacts. Uh, I
think one of the reasons we don't anticipate any impacts is we're not aware of any complaints ever being made and the facility is there. Um, these are, you know, trained dogs and it's not, you know, your neighbors, you know,
rowdy pitbull that doesn't know how to be quiet because the mailman went past again. Um, so, uh, if you could advance that probably four pages.
Perfect. And we're not, just for the record, we're not marking the site plan. It was submitted more than 10 days in advance. We only marked the one exhibit that came in a day or so ago. Um, so but just if you could identify each page with uh with the uh
>> name with the number, the title and the date. >> Sure. So this is we're looking at C1.4 which is titled utility plan and it was dated October 17th, 2025. >> Thank you. >> So just in case you don't have it in
front of you, helpful to put it up and we'll just walk back through it again. So the existing facility is here. This is the proposed facility. The driveway being expanded as it comes down as part of the overall existing internal
driveway network. Here's where additional parking including that accessible stall is being um constructed. And then this is the wall around the east and south side of the the facility here to level out this
space where the kennels are. mechanels being these fenced runs in the rear. There's a couple other storage buildings outside that hold the training supplies.
>> If I may, Mr. Chairman, how tall is the retaining wall? >> Just under five. >> At its highest, it's about seven feet. And that's on the southeast corner. >> And might that retaining wall among
other things serve a further attenuation of noise purpose? >> It's up. >> No, it's below. >> So >> it's it's not the the facility isn't sunk against that wall. >> Okay. >> The the facility is actually up the wall holding >> it's grading only. So it's it's below
it's below. Gotcha. >> Yes. Uh, never mind. >> It was worth a shot, though. Thank you. >> I just asked the question. I didn't say it would. >> Uh, that I think that's really the the bulk of or the the sum of my testimony.
If there's any questions, comments, >> Mr. Chair. >> Yes, >> I have a question. Um, I saw the page that talks about demolition, but because there's a distance between where the current kennel is and the
>> new one, I'm assuming demolition will happen after the new building is created, so the donkeys will have a home. >> Yes. Yeah, that's the right. And that is part of the reason why this is they are separated. And thank you for bringing that up. I should have mentioned that. Yeah, the existing facility is going to
remain in place until the new one is finished and then it will be removed. >> And just a clarifying question, you talked about a uh cover on the chain link. Is that up all weather all you know all seasons? >> Uh >> that's my understanding.
>> Okay. So that would be an automatic attenuation for noise without knowing how much. >> Correct. >> Because it's covering the chain link fence. So, uh, and the fact that you're within range on a decibel level anyway, you know, just says that this just brings it down even more.
>> Yes, exactly. >> Um, the 14 kennels, you said most dogs are not there overnight because they're at home with their trainer. >> Yeah. My understanding is it's very rare for them to be there overnight. >> Okay. But you on occasion have up to 14 dogs on premises.
>> On premises? Yeah. During the day when they're training. >> Okay. Thank you. Any other question, Mr. Quin? >> I had a question about the distance between this new building and the affordable housing development that's
going to be constructed on a property line for that. >> Yes. >> Because uh early in your presentation, I I may have misheard you. I thought you said the current building is 460 ft or something like that from the from the property line of the affordable housing
development. It's and then this building will be 200 ft farther down the hill. >> No. >> Yeah. Okay. This distance was then. So the current building I don't know if you can go back to the A1 exhibit
on the screen here. A1 the site plan exhibit the first one. >> I can't I can't read the distance on there anyway. So it's 435 ft 439 ft from the existing building
to the property line. It's sliding about 200 250 feet down the hill and then it's 400 feet from the new facility to that property line. >> So So it's the the 200 ft that's that >> it's
not directly toward the property line. >> I'm just going to yell instead of bringing the microphone. Uh the this gray area here is that is that project is the limit of that affordable housing project. And so it's moving down the
hill. >> I see. >> So it's moving a, you know, it's moving almost 40 feet closer, >> but it's mostly coming rearward. >> Okay. Good. Thank you. And you mentioned that the facility the the building will
not be visible from Westtown or Avenue. >> Correct. It will be visible from the affordable housing development that's going to be constructed. Presumably it's going to be higher in elevation. >> It is higher in elevation. There is a
lot of woods in between. >> Okay. >> You know there's a lot of existing natural buffering within that space. Um same thing even more so to the south. Um you know so I don't
I haven't gone and looked to say whether it is or it isn't but I would imagine that if it is visible it's not. I mean, this is a one-story building, so it's not going to be, you might be able to see it through some trees, but it's not like it's going to be, you know,
presenting in a way where you're going to like actually see most of the building. >> The current building is even higher on the hill, right? >> It is a little farther away, but it's even higher, right? >> Farther up the slope. Correct. Okay. >> Okay. Thank you.
>> Other questions? I I have a couple. Um uh one you have the retaining wall and there will be some grading that to level that off. Um and I think on the demolition plan shows some number of the the edge
of the wooded area will be cut back and the trees will be removed from that area. Do you have any idea of how many trees? And we do have a tree ordinance here that would normally, you know, a normal site plan would require replacement u if there are significant
numbers of trees. Um there's a planted burm that's back there. So there's because of the slopes on it. Uh and there's not a lot of big old growth trees in there. >> The tree line has been moved back. >> Yeah, it does. Yeah, the tree line is
moved in that area. Um for the most part, they were they're smaller trees. I don't have an account of how many you know and what size trees there are. >> And then uh the other question another question is the uh since that is on top of the slope and there's now some
how you dealing with the uh runoff in some semi at least semi-imperous base there and it runs down a hill and I believe at the bottom of that hill is a wetlands and we have dog run. Um is there you know what um
>> so there's there's no storm water management required for the project >> because we're removing you know an area of impervious okay >> that's already there and running off. So um there's I said there's there's
nothing proposed and we don't anticipate any negative impacts from you know with small additional impervious coverages on the site. But now that runoff is directly going down a steeper hill than it was before. It had a it had another
200 f feet of flowage to seep into the ground before it ran down a hill from where it is now. Correct. >> Uh in the the prior condition when it came off of the the rear of the site, it was immediately going down >> okay >> that steep slope. Mhm.
>> Um, and here, you know, we're trying to grade it and and have it go off in a way where it's not, you know, concentrating so much, but I brought it a little too close to me. Um, so again, I think the one of the
things that we're doing is curbing that existing asphalt. The driveway where there's no curb. No, it's not up. the driveway when it comes down right now. There's no curving on that. So, we're curving that and directing that water. It's actually going to go to the west
side of the building and around. So, that's going to actually extend the distance that that's going to run across the ground. >> Okay. >> Um, so that should if anything
just it should be helpful. And normally, well, actually, it's not in the front of the property. So, normally a 7 foot retaining wall would be okay, right? Cuz it's not in front, I think, as I recall. >> 6 ft is our max to the extent zoning,
you know, >> right? If it applied, right? Yeah. Okay. So, this is a little ahead of that, but I believe a lot of that is visual impact more than anything else. I mean, there are certainly safety issues and how it's constructed and that's taken care of, but
>> one might view, wait a minute, why am I doing the planning? >> It's a front yard, right? Uh but it's not exactly uh adjacent to the street, >> right? Okay. Our our ordinance contemplates at those heights tearing
terracing the walls and setting them back from each other which you know really is more of a visual mitigation than than for a structural engineering purpose >> and in this scenario that just creates larger disturbance into a steep slope
area which is a critical constrained area. >> Normally we would look at that variance for the benefits of maintaining the steep slopes in that area. >> Right. Okay. and additional trees too as we preserve. Would it be fair to say in this case the cure might be worse than
the disease? It would be. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Sure. >> Okay. >> Yes. Mr. >> Just just a quick question to follow up on what the chairman had said uh about the slopes. Are is there a plan to plant
any additional foliage either for attenuation or just for aesthetics? >> No, I mean because it is tucked in the back of the site and down low from there's not really an ex the aesthetic improvement here is the building
>> over the ex existing building which is you know like as Mr. if it's at 40 years old and bolted together trailers. Um so the you know the building itself is a visual improvement. Uh I mean we will be replanting with lawn in the area where
the building currently is but beyond that there's not. >> Okay. Is there any plan not just on a different topic is there any plan to use the uh this facility um after dark? No, there isn't any plan to use it after dark. It would just be a daytime
training facility. >> So 5:00 p.m. typically would be the end of the day. >> Yeah, I I would say 5:00 p.m. when they they would be done there at that time. >> Okay. Thank you, >> Mr. Chairman. One more question.
>> Yes. >> Is there any outdoor training done? I see that there's a training room which appears to be indoors, but is there any outdoor training done as well? >> Yes. And it's good that this one's still up. >> So, the outdoor training is this field.
>> Okay. >> To the west. >> Okay. >> Currently, where it's done where it will will remain. >> Okay. >> So, if you come into the site, you'll see there's all sorts of >> and it's away from all of the other properties. >> It's even more central right
>> into the site than where we are. you're, you know, another 300 ft into the middle of the property. >> Thank you. >> Any questions? >> Okay. Um, are there any anything from our professionals?
>> Just just one question. I know in our TCC letter, we had also mentioned Morris Muse and the Dean Gallo. Yeah, Dean Gallow uh retirement facility about the distances. Did you note that or are they further away from
the catch road site? >> They're all I mean this is further away >> Yeah. >> than than that facility and if anything we're moving probably equal distance if not further away. >> Okay. >> From there
>> from from there meaning the Morris County housing authorities. >> Yes. Structures. >> Correct. And then from Morris View We're going to be the maybe we're a little bit closer because the building's a little bit closer, but we're moving straight down in relation to that. And
that's if this is 900 ft. 972 ft. That's 972 ft. So, it's about 1,000 ft away. Are there any questions from the public of this witness? Okay.
Okay. Okay. Um, thank you. We have another witness. Sorry. You were already sworn in. I believe you're an architect, correct? >> I am. Yes. Licensed in New Jersey since 2009. >> Testified uh before any land use boards andor courts in the state of New Jersey.
>> I have. Yes. >> Okay. been accepted as such. >> Yes. >> Accept your credentials. Please proceed. >> All right. So, a lot of what I was going to say I think has already been discussed. So, I'll just kind of quickly walk through the color plan here. As
mentioned, the proposed facility is 5,500 square ft. It's a pre-engineered metal building. Bear >> with you want the floor plan and exterior elevations A1 on the street. >> That would be great. Thank you. If uh the powers that be heard me that's
floor plan and exterior elevations A1. >> There we go. >> There we go. >> Thank you. Oh, great powerful. >> The walls are insulated metal panel. It has a standing steam metal roof. At its highest point, it's about 20 feet tall,
singlestory as we already discussed. So, looking at the layout, the building is split between a staff use and the K9 facility. So, looking at the blue area, that's an open office space with three private offices opening onto it. We also
have a shared conference room and break room and a locker room. The green area is the K9 facility. So, as we already mentioned, we have the 14 indoor outdoor kennels. We also have that large training area which has an overhead
door, so that allows it to be open air when the weather is nice. There's a laundry area, a grooming area, and then both the staff and K9 sides have their own dedicated storage. And as Chris mentioned, there's a
privacy fence that goes around the entire rear of the building. So, the kennels are within that secure area. I believe the fence is 8 ft tall and I think that that's in a nutshell. Does anyone have any questions about the
building specifically? >> Mr. Roberts, >> just a quick question though I probably know already know the answer. Was any thought given to uh powering the facility with solar panels on the roof?
>> That I do not know. Um not that I can recall. No. A roof like that would lend itself very well to solar energy. Okay. >> Any other questions? >> No.
Do you have anything? >> No. >> No. >> Any questions from the public or this witness? Okay. I guess. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. >> No any summation counselor.
>> No, no further. >> No further way. >> Okay. The actually actually I do have one uh uh point and and maybe our planner is Lady Ken Opine with respect to consistency
of this project uh with the zone and the master plan. Okay. >> Yeah. >> All right. Uh, thank you, Mr. Warner. So, this particular facility is not specifically mentioned in the master plan and not surprisingly. Um, but OSGU is obviously for government use with and
this is certainly consistent with the underlying zoning and and that use. Um, and so I can I would recommend that the board find the project to be not inconsistent with the township's master plan. >> That's all I have to say.
