MEMBERS NEEDED FOR THE MONTVILLE TOWNSHIP
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION AND
HISTORIC PRESERVATION REVIEW COMMISSION
The Township Committee is seeking residents
to volunteer their time serving on the Montville Township Environmental
Commission or the Historic Preservation Review Commission. Each board meets once a month.
The Historic Preservation Commission
(HPRC) is responsible for the identification and establishment of historic
landmarks and historic districts within the community. This committee works
towards conserving, protecting, enhancing and perpetuating such landmarks,
which take into consideration the townships cultural, social, economic
political or architectural history. They are very active in assisting the
owners of historic landmarks and an owner of the property in recommending ways
on how to preserve the historic character of their properties. They also supply
street names to the Planning Board that memorialize our heritage in new
subdivisions.
The Environmental Commission
conducts reviews on the use and possible use of the open land areas of the
Township of Montville and may coordinate the activities of unofficial bodies
organized for similar purposes. The Commission may advertise, prepare, print
and distribute books, maps, charts, plans and pamphlets relating to its
function. It maintains an index of all open areas, publicly or privately owned,
including open marshlands, swamps and other wetlands, in order to obtain
information on the proper use of such areas. From time to time, it recommends to
the Montville Township Planning Board or the Township Committee, plans and
programs for inclusion in the Township of Montville Master Plan and the
development and use of such areas. The Commission also studies and makes
recommendations concerning open space preservation, water resources management,
air pollution control, solid waste management, noise control, soil and
landscape protection, environmental appearance, marine resources and protection
of flora and fauna. The Environmental Commission is also involved in the
development review process and may submit a report to the Planning Board. A
report from the Environmental Commission is required wherever an application
includes an environmental impact statement.
If
you are interested in serving, please fill out a Citizen Leadership Form and
submit to the Municipal Clerk by April 18.
