Did I hear correctly from their lawyer that they got somehow an exception to not build one family homes and have that as another exit or am I misunderstanding? CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Mr. Plocker. MR. PLOCKER: The IH-1 zoning ordinance with the township adopted in 2020 permits emergency access use over those two specific lots only, correct. THE PUBLIC: So, so they got an exception to the zoning rule, is that what he's saying? CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: No, sir. It is part of the IH-1 zone. If you go on the website, the IH-1 zone is on the Planning Boards website. You can read everything that's in there. THE PUBLIC: I hope it's very explicit because it doesn't look very kosher. CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Thank you. MR. AFRAN: Just as a matter of law, so I don't waive any issues. Mr. Plocker's comments that the IH having impacts the emergency access to the next zone is something we will discuss legally. My silence should not be taken to mean that I agree.
