In compliance with the Open Public Meetings Act of New Jersey, adequate notice of this meeting was provided on August 27, 2007 by sending written notice to the Daily Record and the Observer Tribune, posting on the Bulletin Board in the Municipal Building and filing with the Township Clerk.

Mayor Florek asked for a motion to withdraw Ordinance 11-2007, previously introduced on July 24, 2007, and substitute in its place Ordinance 12-2007, for the creation of residential cluster zoning:

AN ORDINANCE CREATING A NEW ZONE DISTRICT, ENTITLED “THE RESIDENTIAL CLUSTER – RC ZONE”, WITH STANDARDS PERTINENT THERETO, AMENDING CHAPTER XXI “ZONING REGULATIONS” OF THE LAND USE ORDINANCE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF MENDHAM .

Mr. Mountain explained that Ordinance 11-2007 was withdrawn because the text of the ordinance referred to a “filed” map.  Mr. Falcon further explained that zoning maps cannot be filed with the County Clerk ,  so the reference to a filed map was changed to “map” and the map is on file in the office of the Morris County Planning Board.
