The Township Committee member has excused himself, in response to concerns that some comments he made that could potentially be interpreted as prejudicial.
Planning board member Kevin Settembrino has recused himself from the Taylor Lane housing development proposal currently before the Planning Board, according to board attorney James Gorman. Settembrino, who is also a member of the township's governing body, will be replaced by one of two alternates who have attended the meetings that have been going on for months. His decision to step away from the American Properties in Middletown application, which proposes 245 housing units on an undeveloped tract, came after comments he made during an April 17 meeting, which focused on the potential reconfiguration of Taylor Lane as a one-way road in part.

A public hearing is scheduled tonight for a proposed housing project to be situated on 31 acres adjacent to Route 35 South, on both sides of Taylor Lane in Middletown.

The 196 market rate townhomes are envisioned…
