Rachel Horowitz, Deputy Attorney General, argued the cause for appellants (Peter Verniero, Attorney General of New Jersey, attorney; Joseph L. Yannotti, Assistant Attorney General, of counsel; Ms. Horowitz, on the brief).

Jack Plackter argued the cause for respondent (Horn, Goldberg, Gorny, Daniels, Plackter and Weiss, attorneys; David A. Sacks, on the brief).

Before Judges HAVEY, BROCHIN and EICHEN.

The opinion of the court was delivered by BROCHIN, J.A.D.

Plaintiff East Cape May Associates, a limited partnership, owns approximately 100 acres of undeveloped land in the City of Cape May, New Jersey. Most of the property is freshwater wetlands, and both the State and East Cape May agree that it is of "exceptional resource value," a statutory designation which subjects the property to heightened protection against development.
