This Week at Town Hall: Hardyston Takes Up an Aqua NJ Site Plan and a Golf Club Event Building, and Hopatcong Had an Indoor Gym on Its Agenda

Good morning. This is our weekly look at what your local government is actually doing: what was on the agenda last week, and what is on the calendar next. We read the agendas and minutes for all twenty-four Sussex County municipalities so you do not have to.

This week: Hardyston's land use board has an Aqua NJ site plan and a golf club event building on its agenda Tuesday night, and Hopatcong's land use board had an indoor gym application before it last week.

Meetings ahead

Hardyston: Aqua NJ site plan and a golf club event building

The Hardyston Township Joint Land Use Board meets Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 7 PM. The posted agenda lists two reviews. The first is Aqua NJ Inc., which is seeking a conditional use (D) variance, C variances, and preliminary and final site plan approval for Block 67, Lot 51.01 and Block 67.12, Lot 1. The second is an extension of approval for CSR Golf Company's new event building on Block 16, Lots 1, 1.09 and 6.02.

The agenda also includes approval of the Sept. 14 minutes and a public comment period. No resolutions are scheduled. The meeting is Tuesday rather than the board's usual Monday because Monday is a holiday.

Further out

The Walpack Township Committee is scheduled to meet Oct. 27. As of Thursday, no other municipality had posted an agenda for the week of Oct. 12. The Government section updates as new agendas arrive.

What was on the agenda last week

Hopatcong: variances and an indoor gym

The Hopatcong Land Use Board met Tuesday, Oct. 6, at the Municipal Building. This is based on the posted agenda; minutes are pending, so we cannot yet say how the board voted. The agenda listed:

• Approval of the Sept. 1 and Sept. 15 minutes.
• Resolutions setting hearing dates for Kamal Padia's request for bulk and use variance relief at 15 Point Pleasant Rd., and for West Shore Villa's variance relief for dock renovations at 431 Lakeside Blvd.
• A continued application from James and Lisa De Angelis for variance relief for a deck and other structures at 21 Ithanell Rd.
• A new application from North East Health & Fitness LLC for conditional use approval of an indoor gym at 48 Lakeside Blvd., with a request for a site plan waiver.

The meeting ended with an open session for public comment.

How to use this

Every meeting mentioned here has its own page on County Brief with a plain-English summary and a link to the original agenda or minutes. Our summaries are AI-generated from the official documents and labeled as such on every page. Where a recap is based on an agenda rather than minutes, we say so, because an agenda tells you what was scheduled, not what was voted. If we get something wrong, there is a "Report an error" link on every page. Please use it.
