Planning Board Vice Chairperson Deirdre Rosinski acknowledged the borough's rules may be too stringent. Mayor Dennis Sullivan, who also sits on the Planning Board, said Somerville should research how other towns are responding to the issue and what zoning ordinance changes, if any, they are proposing. According to New Jersey Home Bakers Association co-founder Martha Rabello, other towns standing in the way of home baking permits are Sayreville, Parsippany, Livingston, Hamilton, Denville, Kinnelon, Montclair, Ridgefield, Pennsauken, Pitman and Mount Ephraim. The obstacles that Winter faced were not unique to Somerville. That permit allows home bakers to legally sell their baked goods from home, at farmers markets or at events, with a yearly gross income maximum of $50,000.īut the state permit requires that home bakers receive local approval. Somerville’s permit process is a far cry from the two-year $100 home baking permit that the state issues. Winter was told by borough officials that she needed a zoning variance, pay a $1,000 application fee, deposit $4,000 into a borough escrow account, publish a public notice in the newspaper and notify all property owners within 200 feet of her home that there would be a public hearing on her application. Looking back: New Jersey home bakers can officially start selling their goodies Her application for a home business zoning permit, which would allow her to sell the sugar cookies from her 150-square-foot kitchen, was denied by Somerville in February. She believed she could make a few extra dollars for her 6-year-old son's college fund by baking cookies at home and selling them.īut, after receiving certification from the state, she got entangled in the bureaucratic thicket of the borough's zoning laws. "I don't want to go back and forth between the two bodies," Navatto said.īorough resident Maria Winter is exactly the type of home baker that New Jersey's new law permitting the sale of home-baked goods was supposed to benefit.Īs a fourth-grade teacher at Readington's Holland Brook School, Winter has baked pie-themed cookies for Pi Day (March 14) and cookies for graduation that said "thanks for making me a smart cookie." Everybody loved them. Navatto said the Planning Board should notify Borough Clerk Kevin Sluka the issue is still being discussed before a recommendation is made. The board will continue discussing the issue at its August meeting and will draft a letter to the Borough Council with its recommendations to changes to the borough's zoning ordinance. "It's novel territory and I don't want to rush it through," Planning Board Chairman Bernard Navatto said. The issue was referred to the Planning Board by the Borough Council after a M圜 report described the bureaucratic measures a resident was facing when she wanted to sell home-baked goods from her home.
