a.       Municipal Assessment Project (Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed)

The Township Committee will consider a proposal for the Municipal Assessment Project spearheaded by the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association, a non-profit regional association overseeing the 265 square miles that make up the Millstone watershed.  The Municipal Assessment Project, which is fully funded by both the William Penn Foundation and the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, proposes to assist municipalities in reviewing existing watershed management practices.  The proposal has been endorsed by both the Planning Board and the Environmental Commission.

 

b.       Barclay Property Farmland Preservation Application

As a result of ongoing litigation, the Township has been unable to obtain clear title to the Barclay farm, which in turn has held up the application process with the Farmland Preservation Program of Middlesex County.  The Committee will consider the opportunity and potential fiscal ramifications of withdrawing and resubmitting the application this year for the purpose of subdividing the stream corridor on the South parcel (consistent with the Master Plan with respect to passive recreation) and the option of placing a buildable lot on the North parcel (for the purpose of enhancing its viability).
