Amendments to New Jersey Land-Use Plan Satisfy Planners, Developers for Now.
Byline: Rod Allee
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.
This does not mean, though, that those amendments will be adopted, for the other side is putting up a stiff fight against giving grandfathering rights to large-scale developers.
The Highlands conservation map outlines land within a seven-county area that the state wants to buy and protect because it is the source of water for millions of state residents. In general terms, the map includes a wide swath at the northeastern end of Sussex County, narrows in the Sparta area, then broadens again through the southeastern part of the county.
