If you live in Manasquan and would like to know how the borough may or may not change during the next ten years, then you might want to attend a hearing on the borough's master plan. The borough planning board will meet on Tuesday, July 25, to review and consider the adoption of the Master Plan Reexamination Report. The hearing is slated for 4 p.m. in borough hall, 201 East Main Street.
The report is available to the public for ten days before the hearing, at the municipal clerk's office during regular business hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The master plan is mandated under the state's Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL), which is meant "to guide the appropriate use" of land to promote public health and safety, and to establish "population densities and concentrations that will contribute to the well-being of persons, neighborhoods, communities and regions and preservation of the environment," according to the law, which was enacted in 1975 and amended in 1986 to include issues of historic preservation.
In a nutshell, the MLUL is why you see business districts and residential zones and areas where both are mixed, and why buildings are of certain heights and sizes.
Under the MLUL, master plans are the responsibility of municipal planning boards and are examined and updated, if necessary, every ten years.
