Dear Citizens of Mendham:
Two of my objectives as Mayor are to define by ordinance the Historic District and the implementation of an Open Space program in the Borough. Both processes have begun. In the center of Town at Hilltop and Route 24 all four buildings are original and many other nearby buildings are also original and contribute to the Historic District's overall appearance and atmosphere. To date we have been lucky that nothing has happened that would damage the visual image of Mendham as an old historic village. There is little in our current ordinances to protect our village atmosphere from developers who might want to build modern steel and glass structures in place of the older Historic buildings.
We want a Historic District Ordinance that will preserve our historic and contributing buildings for future generations, but not one so restrictive as to make property maintenance difficult or too costly. Mendham does not want to decide what color a building can be painted or the type or roof shingles to be installed. A good Historic District ordinance will enhance property values for everyone.
