Apr. 30--When David Troast, the planner in Sparta, heard which lands were to be included in the no-build zone of the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act, he was furious.
It's been a few days since, and he has calmed down ... sort of.
"I've gotten a little better. I'm OK. Sparta will be OK. If we manage our resources well, we'll be OK."
For the time being, Troast and others involved in land-use decisions in Sussex County have been mollified by amendments proposed for the Highlands Act. Those changes would protect investments of homeowners and those developers who have already made significant progress in securing their building permits.
