(c) In the case of LIH units offered for rent, they shall be rented for no more than thirty percent (30%) of the gross household income of the low or moderate income household, said rental to be inclusive of all services, maintenance and utilities. In the event that any utility or other charges are paid directly by the tenant, the maximum rental of thirty percent (30%) shall represent the sum of the contract rent and all such utility or other charges. Rents shall be set individually for each tenant on the basis of individually verified household income.

4. Sale or rental of LIH units shall be on the basis of income and residency of applying eligible households. Where the number of applicants exceed the number of LIH units available, the sale or rental of such units shall be in accordance with the date of application submitted, with earlier applicants being given preference over later applicants.

In the implementation of this paragraph 6, income limitations shall be as adjusted for household size.

7. Any developer submitting an application for development which includes LIH units shall submit a plan for resale or rental controls to insure that the LIH units remain affordable to low and moderate income households for at least thirty (30) years. Such plan shall contain all of those provisions set forth in this subsection, as well as conform to any regulations or guidelines adopted by the township or any governmental agency or nonprofit entity delegated this authority by the Township of Mendham.

(a) Any plan for controlling the resale of LIH units shall permit the owner of such units, upon resale, to sell that unit for:

(i) The original sale price plus the original sales price multiplied by seventy-five percent (75%) of the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index between the date of initial purchase and the date of resale;

In the event that the administering agency grants such a waiver, it may provide that the unit be sold at the formula price, and that the resale controls remain in effect for any subsequent sale of the unit.



(c) The township may administer these controls directly, or may enter into an agreement with a nonprofit corporation or other governmental entity, or may permit the developer to administer these controls, either directly or through a nonprofit entity established by the developer, but in no event may the township require the developer to administer these controls as a condition of approval, nor may the resale controls be administered merely by the existence of a deed restriction on the property.

(d) Resale controls shall be embodied in a deed restriction on the property that shall be submitted by the developer at the time of preliminary site plan approval, and shall be subject to approval by the township attorney and by the administering agency. All deed restrictions shall be consistent with all of the provisions of this section, and with any regulations or guidelines adopted by the administering agency.

(f) The administering agency, subject to review by the township at the option of the governing body, shall adopt such regulations and guidelines as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection 21-4.7a7.

7. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section 21-4.7, the Township of Mendham shall have the right to purchase, either directly or through a governmental agency or authority or through a corporation under contract with the township, any or all LIH units constructed in any development.

Notice shall be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the developer at the address of the developer set forth in the application for construction permit, and the notice shall become effective upon mailing.

The purchase price for any unit shall be the agreed upon estimated highest price at which the unit could be sold to a qualified low or moderate income purchaser, as the case may be.

Closing of title on the purchase of any unit or units shall take place within thirty (30) days after the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the unit or units.

b. Administration. Except as to the provisions of subsection 21-4.7a7, the administration and enforcement of the provisions of this chapter as they pertain to LIH units shall be undertaken and performed by the township finance officer, unless the township committee shall by resolution designate a governmental agency or nonprofit entity to undertake and perform such responsibilities.

c. Periodic Review for Modification of Standards. The standards established in this chapter for qualification as a low income household, a moderate income household and the rental allowed to be charged for occupancy of LIH units shall be reviewed periodically by the township committee which shall, from time to time, adopt such amendments to this chapter as are required to assure that such standards conform to the applicable decisional and statutory law of New Jersey. In the event that the standards established by this chapter are so amended hereafter, such amended standards shall apply to any LIH units which have been constructed pursuant to this chapter and which are in existence at the time that such standards are so amended.

21-4.8 Lot Geometry and Net Building Envelope Area Regulations.

In order that lots created by subdivision approval shall have appropriate geometries and suitable areas for utilization and development, the following standards shall be met for new lots created in the R, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-5 and R-10 zone residence districts:

a. Lot Geometry. Each lot shall comply with all bulk requirements set forth in the Schedule of Requirements set forth on the Zoning Map. Each lot shall be of such geometry, size and shape so that

1. A lot geometry circle (LGC) can be inscribed entirely within the lot lines, tangent to the street right of way line (whether a public or private street), and

2. All lot lines hereinafter established which intersect with a public or private street shall be perpendicular or radial to the side line of such street for a minimum distance equal to the radius of the LGC applicable in the district and measured from said point of intersection.

b. Net Building Envelope Area (NBEA). Each lot shall contain a net building envelope area (NBEA) and a building envelope circle (BEC) as set forth in the Schedule of Requirements set forth on the Zoning Map.

21-4.9 Supplementary Setback Regulations.

The minimum setbacks set forth on the Schedule of Requirements, are applicable as minimum dimensions. Minimum setbacks shall be increased in the following circumstances:

(a) Structures with heights over twenty (20) feet:

1. In the R-3 zone the minimum setback of a structure with a height over twenty (20) feet shall be increased by one (1) foot, for each one (1) foot of the height of the structure in excess of twenty (20) feet.

2. In the R-5 zone the minimum setback of a structure with a height over twenty (20) feet shall be increased by two (2) feet, for each one (1) foot of the height of the structure in excess of twenty (20) feet.



3. In the R-to Zone the minimum setback of a structure with a height over twenty (20) feet shall be increased by three (3) feet, for each one (1) foot of the height of the structure in excess of twenty (20) feet.

In all zones, the minimum front, side and rear yard setbacks for an accessory building of over 1,000 square feet of footprint shall be increased by 1.5 feet for each 100 square feet of footprint in excess of 1,000 square feet or portion thereof.

21-4A RESIDENTIAL CLUSTER DISTRICT

21-4A1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES:

a. The Residential Cluster District encompasses a unique and long established neighborhood of 37 single family homes and other buildings on a single lot of approximately 28 acres designated as Block 127, Lot 69.

b. All the land and improvements are owned by a cooperative legally know as Woodland Lake, Inc. to which shares are owned by individual cooperators largely made up of the residents.

c. The Cooperative is governed by a Board of Directors which has the authority to control development on the entirety of the property and is in the position to balance the interests of individual cooperators with the overall interests of the Cooperative as a whole.

d. Conventional single family zoning can not reflect these facts and the characteristics of the neighborhood without making the administration of land use regulations unnecessarily cumbersome, time consuming and costly for both the Township and members of the Cooperative.

e. The continuation of the Cooperative promotes increased variety of housing in the Township and preserves valuable open space.

f. Zoning should reflect and promote the continuation of the established pattern of development in the neighborhood.



g. Zoning standards should be designed to minimize the need for applications to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

h. The establishment of the minimal regulatory requirements regarding the distance between buildings set forth in this section is not intended to encourage the relaxation of any more stringent requirements that may be required by the Board of Directors of Woodland Lake, Inc. Therefore, these less stringent standards should not serve as a basis for variance relief that may be sought by an applicant before the Zoning Board of Adjustment nor in support of a challenge to a determination of the Board of Directors.
