T2Kplus10 thank you so much the project won't be for at least 7 to 8 months we are currently working with an Environmental engineer(my neighbor luckily) on getting a line of delineation completed for the wetlands to the side of my property(lucky me I bought a 1/2 acre of wetlands yeah). I will definitely be sending you my e-mail address in the near future for some advice. Thank you very much for the current information.

Sounds good, send me a message when it's time to chat!

There are 2 people in this thread who provided accurate and precise information. Every other post, not so much. MLUL provides fora process that can be very overwhelming for anyone who lacks experience dealing with it. OPs situation has a couple particular wrinkles that make it even more complicated (or, oddly enough, simplified).

It would require way too much message board space to answer OP here, but speaking with a local land use attorney is the most important thing for OP to do.

Good advice thanks are these guys expensive?

Land use attorneys can be a bit expensive (I know because I am one). Fortunately, you might be in a much simpler situation because if you qualify as a commercial farm, the county agricultural development board has jurisdiction in which case you do not have to demonstrate the positive and negative criteria, only "legitimate agriculturally-based reason" for not complying.

I would love to talk to you and T2Kplus10 when we get the wetlands line of delineation completed, that's 1st on the list as this will determine the placement of the barn. Apparently this process takes 3 months to complete my engineer maps it out and marks our property then it goes off to the State for approval and if they have any discrepancies then they have to come out to verify. Since it's the state I have to deal with I'm leaving 6 to 8 months leeway as I know from experience they are extremely slow. I look forward to any help you may be able to provide to my questions. Thank you.

Was the OP the one of them? Because he updated and it sounds like his situation is pretty straightforward now.

Shoot me an email. Johill@gaf.com. Have some info for you. A lot of moving parts here. You can also go into wetlands buffer with a state permit (wife does wetlands too). Have names of several good land use attorneys and a good surveyor. Where is property located?
