Franklin Township Planning Board Meeting - 6/17/2026

The Franklin Township Planning Board held a meeting on June 17, 2026, primarily focused on land use and zoning ordinance updates. Key procurement-related discussions included the review and approval of amendments to land development fees, escrow deposits, and application fees, which had not been updated in about 15 years. The board approved increases in fees for developers and applicants, aligning them with fees charged by similar towns, while keeping homeowner zoning permit fees relatively low. Additionally, the board discussed and approved updates to cluster subdivision and lot size averaging ordinances to streamline provisions and better preserve open space and farmland. These ordinance changes will be forwarded to the township council for further consideration. Resolutions endorsing these changes were also approved by the board. No contract awards or vendor selections were discussed during the meeting.
