Members of the Delaware Township Planning Board are appointed by the Mayor and serve staggered four year terms. Alternates serve for two years. The Board is assisted by Advisory members who have annual appointments. The Planning Board normally meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30p.m. at the Delaware Township Municipal Building. Alternate dates are sometimes scheduled due to conflicts with elections or holidays. Special meetings are scheduled on occasion.
The filing deadline for all applications is 28 calendar days prior to the first Tuesday of each month. The Planning Board hears applications that are deemed to be complete, namely, applications that have addressed all the applicable items on the appropriate application checklist.
The Delaware Township Planning Board reviews applications for approval of subdivisions, site plans, and conditional uses. It is authorized by statute to review applications with variances from the provisions of the Delaware Township Land Use Ordinance under certain circumstances. Applications with variances that the Board is not permitted by statute to consider are referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
The Planning Board has designated a Subdivision and Site Plan Review Committee. Its members meet on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. to review upcoming applications and to deem applications complete or incomplete. They also assist residents who have specific questions about the development of their land pursuant to the Land Use Ordinance. These discussions are informal and not binding on the Board or the prospective applicant.
The Planning Board Administrative Officer is Kathy Klink. She can be reached at 609-397-3240, Ext. 208.
