It may also be possible that the county still has to get involved in regards to traffic flow etc. but it sounded like Pinelands was on board, at least with the “initial” application.

The Pinelands may still have more to review, when/if Twp. approves, not sure of the process, but this was posted from the December 2020 Waterford Twp. Environmental Commision Meeting:

“The Pinelands Commission approved the application for the Atco Dragway and it may be on the planning board’s agenda this week, although it will likely require a few meetings to take action on the application. Some local residents continue to lobby against the sale but it’s a private sale and the Township has no authority to deny a completed application because we may not like the type of business. The Mayor confirmed that the application has met the Pinelands Commission objections and the approval is no longer “inconsistent”. However, the Township will need to make sure that the new business will not cause any environmental damage, for example, from leaking automobile fluids.”

I’m also very surprised Pinelands didn’t seemingly put up more resistance, this is a big change of use with many possible ramifications to the environment etc.

I’m hoping the Pinelands has more work to do with reviewing this matter, again, not knowing how the process works.
