4. Clifton Home Expansion Raises Questions Over Size, Variances (thecliftontimes.com) — A proposed project to merge two lots on Lydia Place and Lorraine Drive into a larger single-family home has Clifton Planning Board members questioning whether the house's size is driving multiple variance requests.

Other applications, including a Chick-fil-A at ON3 and a Valley Road subdivision, were carried to future meetings.
