The Wyckoff Environmental Commission discusses Golf course ordinance (continued from page 5) stream and intersect with the new main road in the golf course development, thereby eliminating any new traffic for Van Houten Avenue, Vee Drive, and Delaware Lane. The developer also advised that only right turns into and out of the site from Franklin Lake Road will be allowed to eliminate sight distance problems turning left at that intersection. A traffic island will also be constructed on the road leading to the development to deter motorists from making left turns onto Franklin Lake Road. The right turn only provision met with skepticism of the planning board because traffic traveling west from Wyckoff would not be able to turn into the site, and would have to travel to Vee Drive or Ewing Avenue to turn around and come back to enter the site. The board amended the master plan to provide clarity about the road access to the housing site, and to give the planning board the right to make adjustments to the traffic pattern based on health and safety after the traffic report is prepared by the developer. All the voting members of the planning board voted to amend the borough’s master plan and housing element and fair share plan, and to confirm that it is now consistent with the ordinance that has now been adopted by the council. Bivona emphasized that the developer generally worked with the borough on everything, although the borough will have more input on the plan in the future. He pointed out that the borough will have more to do and say about the traffic exiting on Franklin Lake Road and, therefore, the provision was added to the master plan that will allow the borough to require changes in that area to would address public safety issues. environmental matters as they affect the township and keeps the Wyckoff Township Committee informed about state and national environmental regulations.
