Master plan
(continued from page 3)
The borough council recently hired JoAnn Carroll as
the new planning board and zoning board secretary.
While the planners were working on the latest master
plan update, the general public was invited to contribute
relevant information. Hanlon, who is also the borough’s
historian, specifically asked for photographs and sugges-
tions for improvements in areas that ranged from ideas for
road improvements to recommendations for downtown
parking. Last week, Hanlon hinted that the new history sec-
tion includes a few “surprises.”
Hanlon said residents will be able to read and download
whatever sections they find useful or interesting.
Although the master plan is reviewed by a consultant
before it is adopted, the planning board does the majority
of the work on the document. Father Michael Donovan, the
former planning board attorney who has since become a
Catholic priest, first made the suggestion to have the plan-
ners work on the master plan. Donovan’s recommendation
saves Ho-Ho-Kus $50,000 to $75,000 in professional fees
during each revision.
The State of New Jersey, which previously required
municipalities to update their master plans every six years,
extended that timeframe to every 10 years as of 2011.
Municipalities are required to produce master plans to
guide future development that will reflect sound planning
and consistency with the Municipal Land Use Law. The
MLUL requires that each master plan include goals and
policies for the development of each community in physi-
cal, economic, and social terms, and information relating to
housing and recycling plans. Each master plan must include
a land use element that outlines the municipality’s physical
features, identifies existing and proposed locations for resi-
dential and non-residential development, and must detail
the relationship of the plan to any proposed zoning plan or
ordinance. According to the 2007 master plan, the borough’s first
comprehensive master plan was adopted in 1977. Revisions
were later made in 1982, 1987, 1989, 1995, 2001, 2007, and
2013. J. CRUSCO
