August 2, 2023 Regular Meeting Minutes

NO PROFESSIONAL QUESTIONS PUBLIC QUESTION Natasha C at 366 Northfield Avenue asked how the town is considering or intending to address concerns related to public safety. Chairman Bagoff said those questions will be referred to the town council at any one of their public meetings or speak to your local representative from the town council. He also includes there's no way to have people not coming to get into any of these cannabis stores. The consumer must show some form of, legal identification that is scanned in for accuracy and they must be of age; that's to get right through the door. Nobody can accompany you that does not have legal identification and are of age. That is according to the ordinance and law.

Council president Williams said that they need to be 21 years of age to enter a cannabis entity. Natasha at Northfield Avenue asked what the master plan is. Mr. Grygiel said that the state legislature has allowed towns to enact their own ordinances dealing with land use and development. However, you must have a master plan, which is a policy document adopted by the planning board, that outlines what uses are permitted in a town, the different types of uses in a certain zone. It also deals with things such as the size of properties, the height of buildings as well as other topics, but essentially, so it's clear, it's a document that if a town wants to regulate development it must be adopted by this board who then makes recommendations to the Township council to create ordinances. It's something that must be also updated at least once every 10 years. Christine Bosco asked what if the cannabis entities would like to have a smoking facility.
