NEW JERSEY BUILDERS ASSOCIATION, BUILDERS ASSOCIATION OF SOMERSET/MORRIS, AND MILL RACE LIMITED, PLAINTIFFS-RESPONDENTS, v. THE MAYOR AND TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE OF BERNARDS TOWNSHIP, SOMERSET COUNTY, DEFENDANTS-APPELLANTS.
    Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division
    Argued February 20, 1986
    Decided March 13, 1986.
    Before Judges ANTELL, SHEBELL and MATTHEWS.
    
      Howard P. Shaw, argued the cause for appellants (Farrell, Curtis, Carlin & Davidson, attorneys; Howard P. Shaw, on the brief).
    
      Wayne J. Peck, argued the cause for respondents (Hutt, Berkow & Jankowski, attorneys; Wayne J. Peck, on the brief).
    
      Roy Kumos, argued the cause for plaintiff Mill Race Limited (Murphy, Kumos & Nish, attorneys, Michael P. Carroll, on the brief).
   PER CURIAM.

The determination under review is affirmed substantially for the reasons stated by Judge D’Annunzio in his formal written opinion for the Law Division dated February 25, 1985, 211 N.J.Super. 290. We decline to order the judgment under review limited to prospective applicability only since it neither announces a new rule of law nor represents a departure from existing law. See State v. Burstein, 85 N.J. 394, 403 (1981). In our view, plaintiffs have demonstrated a sufficient stake and adverse interest as to entitle them to sue under New Jersey’s liberal rules of standing. See Crescent Pk. Tenants Assoc, v. Realty Eq. Corp. of N.Y., 58 N.J. 98, 105-111.
