NOTES:
*
The property owner of Block 2500, Lot 2, consented to being included in the redevelopment area. The properties at Block 2200, Lot 14, and Block 2500, Lots 1 and 2, are only to be included in the redevelopment area with the consent of the property owner. No consent was received, and they are not included in the redevelopment area nor subject to this plan at this time.
**
It is intended that the properties at Block 3000, Lots 1 through 10, all inclusive, including Lot 3.01 (a small strip of property), are to be included in this plan. The property at Block 3000, Lot 11 is not included. Block 6300, Lot 24, is to be included in the area in need of redevelopment, together with the municipal parking lot at Block 6300, Lot 28. The property owners, one being the Borough of Pompton Lakes, received public and direct notification that their property was being studied and subject to being included in the redevelopment area. However, the Planning Board shall verify the inclusion of Block 6300, Lot 24, so as to reconfirm the inclusion of this property.
***
The properties at Block 3101, Lots 1 and 3, are not to be included inasmuch as they do not satisfy the criteria as an area in need of redevelopment. The Planning Board found that Block 6300, Lot 34.01, does satisfy the criteria and the property owner has requested inclusion in the area. Accordingly, this property is included in this plan. The property at Block 6300, Lot 34, (an office building) is being included for limited community purposes as herein defined.
B. 
Block 6300, Lot 34, included in plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain redevelopment scenarios the importance of the location of a property may be sufficient to warrant the property's inclusion in the area in need of redevelopment. The Borough Council hereby finds and determines that, notwithstanding the lack of other evidence, the important location of Block 6300, Lot 34, the office building at 223 Wanaque Avenue, warrants inclusion in this redevelopment area. As such, this property meets the standard under N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-3. However, the inclusion of this property in this plan is limited to the purpose(s) indicated in § 190-88B and E hereof. (N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-3 provides that a property may not be detrimental to the public and may not meet the other criteria and still may be included in a redevelopment area.)
C. 
Eminent domain condemnation not authorized. It is further determined by the Borough Council that the use of eminent domain condemnation is NOT authorized in this Redevelopment Plan Amendment. As such, NO property is identified or authorized to be acquired through eminent domain condemnation as required by N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-7.a(4). No relocation efforts and expenses are therefor necessary, as required to be identified by N.J.S.A. 40:12A-7a.(3).
[Amended 7-20-2011 by Ord. No. 11-08]
