Protect Somerset Hills

Bernards Township Municipal Building, 1 Collyer Lane, Basking Ridge, NJ 

Attendance at the Zoning Board hearings is a vital demonstration of ongoing community opposition to the extraordinary variance requests by Signature Acquisitions. If we want our voices heard and to matter, it is imperative we show up and speak up. The hearing resumes Wednesday, January 3, 2024, 7:30pm, when Signature is expected to present their traffic witness. This is a very sensitive concern for our community given the proposal for 24 tractor trailer loading docks.  Your presence will truly matter – especially on this topic

Our goal remains:  Have the Zoning Board deny the variances.  

What’s Happened So Far?

Following an amended application in April, Signature has presented three witnesses – their engineer, architect, and director of business development. Three attorneys are representing various named objectors. (Protect Somerset Hills is helping to fund legal expenses for a group of four named objectors.) The three witnesses thus far have been cross-examined by the three attorneys and fielded questions from the public.  Signature is expected to present their traffic witness at the next meeting on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.  This is a very sensitive concern for our community.
