She asked if the State is coming to each community to get input regarding the Metedeconk Category I? She went on to say that on January 16 th the MUA approved the water line for the Town Center and asked if they were aware of that? She explained that the Town Center is not a Democratic or Republican issue. This is a size factor, we all have to look at the whole picture and build the community properly not to have an issue in 20 or 30 years. She spoke about the Legislators telling everyone they will bring down the property taxes, but if we continue to build, it becomes a burden to everyone. State property tax and educational tax all comes back to the taxpayer. Committeeman Giblin explained that they have 60 days to respond to this Category 1 designation for the Metedeconk River and they are still formulating their response. He told her he was not aware of the State coming to each individual community. He went on to say that he doesn’t have copies of the MUA minutes and personally is not aware of that approval for the Town Center. The Town Center developer has not come before this Committee and ask for anything in relation to the project and until that happens he can’t comment except for the comments he already made that he will not approve 1,500 homes. Committeeman Grisanti stated that he personally spoke with their Township Planner, Mr. Ragan, last week and asked him to review the Governor’s proposal with the sprawl issue and the Category 1 issue and how it will effect Jackson Township. Committee Broderick explained that as a requirement on the planning stage of a development the developers have to come before the planning board with actual permits that have been issued. The decision by the MUA would have to be answered by their board. He said he has no idea why they approved that, but there has been no movement with the planning board or the Township Committee. There is a number of issues that the planning board still has with this project. If they want to run a water line out there he suggested she ask the MUA why they are allowing this to be done. He went on to talk about the Governors State of State Address regarding the sprawl issue related to the Sites Residential Act, which every planning and zoning board is governed by. The Governor is on target looking for funding on impact studies for schools and recreational purposes as they are in favor of. This town has created havoc by not planning for the schools and the amount of children. They are on board with the Governor on the planning side to try and stop building as fast as they can. In reality the Governor has a big issue to face in Trenton, because the attorneys for the builders association are not just going to sit back and let him do this. He spoke about the judge in the County that when the planning board rejects a project, he turns around and says let them build. In closing, he stated that the State Legislators should take the school property tax off the burden of property taxpayers.", "children": [ { "id": "p25.6.1", "order": 7, "type": "text", "bbox": { "l": 85.92, "t": 765.12, "r": 499.44, "b": 236.4 }, "text": "^{th}", "attrs": { "inline": true, "text_offset": 55, "text_span": 9, "bbox_estimated": true } } ] }, { "id": "p25.7", "order": 8, "type": "text", "bbox": { "l": 86.16, "t": 210, "r": 496.56, "b": 83.04 }, "text": "LESLIE SAVAGE, 337 BARTLEY ROAD: She stated that she has called Town Hall to no avail requesting to discuss the question that should be put on the next general election ballot.

She believes that the taxpayers should be able to vote on whether or not they want this pool by placing the question on the next general election ballot.
