In Your Opinion: Keep Rural Areas Rural

May 13, 2021 Speak Out!

Submitted by Barbara Lawrence, Middlebush.

Keeping Rural Areas Rural is a goal in the Township Master Plan. That is the basis of my objection to Zoning Board of Adjustment approval of the applications by the Dada Bhagwan Vignan Institute and the Sai Datta Mandir to build temples on South Middlebush Road.

Building large structures and large carparks in this protected area of South Middlebush Road is not compatible with the goals and priorities in the Township Master Plan that was designed to protect rural areas, agricultural land, and historic heritage.
