Herman W. Fischer, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Township of Bedminster, in the County of Somerset and State of New…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the lower court's judgment upholding the township's zoning ordinance, including its five‑acre minimum residential requirement. The Court held that the ordinance is a reasonable exercise of the municipality's police power and not an unconstitutional taking or denial of due process, and that the plaintiff failed to demonstrate an abuse of discretion in its application to his parcel.
