Morristown Daily Record
MORRISTOWN The operators of a Dehart Street bar are the latest to sue the township for inconsistencies in decisions and delays in getting public records.
Tashmoo Bar and Restaurant operators DeHart Associates and WCGP said Morristown s formula to determine its maximum occupancy load for their bar expansion is unreasonable, states the lawsuit filed in Morris County Superior Court. The bar also claims the town s clerk failed to honor requests for certificates of occupancy and other documents. Defendants’ arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable decision-making is worse than garden-variety incompetence, reads the lawsuit filed by the operators.
DeHart Associates has owned and operated Tashmoo for the last 15 years and in 2016, began the process to expand into the adjacent lot at 10 DeHart Street. Bar owner Billy Walsh is not named as a plaintiff in the lawsuit.
