After reviewing a revised plan to more fully integrate the affordable housing units in Landmark's Daly Field development, the Planning Board gave its final approval to the project in a vote Monday night.
With a reluctance that has become a recurring theme in its acceptance of the Landmark proposal to construct 165 housing units on Daly Field in Radburn, the Fair Lawn Planning Board gave a final nod of approval to the developer’s revised plan Monday night. Throughout the process, the board had been restricted in the issues on which it could judge the proposal.

Landmark Development's presentation to the Planning Board -- which has only limited powers over the development due to a 2009 court ruling that granted Landmark a builder's remedy -- commences at 7:30 p.m. in Borough Hall. The builder's remedy, which compels the borough to permit the construction of state-mandated affordable housing units, limits the Planning Board's jurisdiction to issues of parking, road layouts and open area configurations, among other details.
