Schmitt, Jr. TAX COLLECTOR Johnna Stinemire Barbara Pater, C.T.C. Robert Strovinsky John A. Elder, III June 5, 2018 On behalf of the 2017 and 2018 Planning Board members and on behalf of the Environmental Commission, Historical Preservation Review Commission, Shade Tree Commission, Ad Hoc Traffic and Parking Committees and the individual members of other Borough advisory boards and committees, we are pleased to present this 2018 Master Plan which was adopted on June 4, 2018. This Master Plan replaces the original Master Plan adopted in 1978 and incorporates mandatory Master Plan Elements that have been adopted by the Planning Board in accordance with the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.) including a Recycling Plan Element, a Stormwater Management Plan Element and a Housing Plan Element. The Plan includes updated background planning data. Other planning documents that were prepared and reviewed through the years were reviewed and, where appropriate, incorporated into various elements of the Master Plan. The Master Plan maps utilize a Geographic Information System (GIS) format that incorporates the digitized Borough Tax Maps and digitized geographical, environmental and other compatible digitized mapping prepared by Federal, State and County agencies. As a result, the Master Plan provides land use, environmental and other planning information on a lot-by-lot basis throughout the Borough. The GIS mapping program will permit future updating of the Borough Tax Maps expediting of applicable data as it becomes available by Borough, County, State and Federal agencies. The process of updating the 1978 Master Plan and the various master plan documents adopted through the years was initiated in January 2016 when the Planning Board began a comprehensive reexamination of the Master Plan documents and the Borough land development regulations. The Planning Board welcomed comments from other Borough boards and agencies and the public. The Planning Board adopted the Reexamination Report on September 12, 2016. The 2018 Master Plan has been amended as needed to meet requirements of future Municipal Land Use and other State statutory requirements. The Borough Housing Plan Element has also been updated in accordance with the New Jersey Fair Housing Act, regulations established by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs and the Monmouth County Superior Court and decisions by the New Jersey Supreme Court. The Planning Board welcomes comments from Borough residents, property owners and the boards, agencies and advisory committees that help maintain Allentown Borough as the historical and charming community in which we live.

  • Hamilton Township, New Jersey
    Hamilton Township, New Jersey Hamilton Township turned negative publicity on the township’s approach to managing stormwater to positive action by engaging the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program (RCE). Township staff embraced a new, proactive perspective, RCE has since completed numerous implementation plans, and the community is now interested and engaged in water quality issues. By: Ryan Walker, Natural Lands Trust Background Hamilton Township, located in Mercer County, New Jersey, adjoins Trenton to the east and might be described as a typical Quick Stats suburb, given the development patterns that characterize much of Hamilton Township the township. However, in addition to the suburban landscape, Major adjoining water body: western portions serve as an extension of Trenton’s more urban Delaware River neighborhoods while areas to the south of NJ Route 130 contrast Major streams: Assunpink Creek, Pond with a distinctly rural and agricultural character. Its central location Run, Miry Run, Crosswicks Creek, Doctors between Philadelphia and New York make Hamilton an economic Creek center, with nearly 50,000 jobs in the township as of 2015.

The Woodrow Wilson HistoryQuest Fellowship was developed to provide middle and high school social studies teachers with a professional development program focused on game-based pedagogy. Developed in partnership with the Institute of Play, the HistoryQuest Fellowship uses the power of games, play, and digital tools to transform both teacher practice and student engagement. “The teachers who have been selected as the 2016 WW HistoryQuest Fellows are a creative and dedicated group,” said Stephanie J. Hull, executive vice president and chief operating officer at the Woodrow Wilson Foundation. “Some of them are just starting out, others are veteran teachers—but all of them have been selected because they’re committed to innovative teaching strategies, to making history lively and relevant for young people. These are educators who can lead the way in new kinds of game-based learning for history and civics.” The 70 Fellows currently teach in 37 school districts and four public charter schools across New Jersey, including East Orange, Jersey City, New Brunswick, Paterson, Princeton, and Trenton.

Barg Innovative Scheduling 2003 Dr. Theodore Johnson School Administration The purpose of this study was to develop an academic schedule that was well- thought, thorough, consistent, and beneficial to students' academic achievement. The use of a block scheduling formula for the high school meant providing students and teachers with an opportunity to innovatively and creatively interact in the learning process, while using time-on-task in an efficient manner. Utilizing an innovative schedule determined how teachers used pedagogy to improve academic performance. Innovative scheduling made a contribution to scholarly research, scholarly work, student interest, and cooperative learning. The intern reviewed research regarding the advantages of block scheduling. In order to gather input regarding innovative scheduling, the intern sent memos to local administrators and distributed surveys to approximately 120 students and 120 faculty members of Pennsauken High School.
