55-19 Exhibit - Phillips Preiss to Assist Planning Board with Re-Examination Master Plan.pdf

PHASE IV: FINALIZATION AND ADOPTION (MONTHS 6-7) This phase will be focused on finalizing the Reexamination and plan element updates, primarily by incorporating the findings from and our work in Phase III and the community open house. This document will fully comply with the requirements of the MLUL. We will meet with the Master Plan Subcommittee once more to confirm that we have adequately addressed the issues and concerns raised to date so that the plan can be finalized and ready for adoption. This meeting will allow us to identify any final changes to the final draft plan. A formal public hearing on the draft Master Plan Reexamination and plan element updates can then be scheduled, consistent with MLUL requirements for the formal adoption of the document. The product of the process outlined above will be the final plan, which will be prepared in consistency with the MLUL. But we propose to go beyond the standard master plan document. The plan will be easy to read and accessible to non-planners, and can include a large amount of photos, visuals and other graphics if so desired. An implementation matrix that lists the timing and responsible entity for executing plan recommendations can also be provided as part of the plan. Allowing two months for this final phase should be adequate to allow for any setbacks in the timetable, which often happens in projects of this type. Reasons often include scheduling difficulties for public meetings, an amended work program to better analyze issues that come up in the process and delays in receiving comments back from committee members and others.
