body
WHEREAS, the Passaic County Department of Planning and Economic Development is in receipt of a proposed Agreement (attached hereto) relating to premises located at 164-166 Hamilton Avenue, Block 2.13, Lot 6, Clifton, New Jersey (hereafter “Property”); and
WHEREAS, Igbara Ziad (hereafter “Applicant/Owner”), whose address is 90 Clifton Avenue, Clifton, New Jersey 07011, applied to the Passaic County Planning Board (hereafter “Board”) under File No. SU-22-014 for minor subdivision; and
WHEREAS, the property has frontage along Piaget Avenue (CR 628) in Clifton; and
WHEREAS, on June 8, 2023, the Board issued a conditional approval, copy attached, requiring the Applicant to satisfy several conditions, one of which is that the Applicant/Owner shall enter into an “if and when” agreement to provide a right-of-way dedication at a future date to the Piaget Avenue Plan Right-of-Way (hereafter “Master Plan ROW”) line at a later date, as requested by and at no cost to the County, all as detailed more fully in the attached Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Board required Applicant/Owner to enter into an Agreement to ensure Applicant/Owner’s compliance and performance of its obligations under the conditional approval;
WHEREAS, if and when the County requests that the Applicant/Owner dedicate the 60 foot Master Plan ROW that is shown on the present site plan prepared by Anwar E. Alkhatib, R.A., dated April 27, 2022, revised as of April 10, 2023 (hereafter “Site Plan”), the Applicant/Owner must comply with the additional right-of-way dedication of the remaining 2.5 feet, since there is currently a discrepancy 2.5 feet between the current right-of-way line 55 feet and the County Master Plan ROW 60 feet along the applicant’s property; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant/Owner shall confer and cooperate with the County with respect to all maintenance decisions concerning the foregoing; and

NOW THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED by the Passaic County Board of County Commissioners that the County Commissioner Director and Clerk of the Board be and are hereby authorized to execute the attached “If and When” Agreement by and between Igbara Ziad and the County of Passaic, as set forth above.
