NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Township Council of the Township of Jackson, County of Ocean, State of New Jersey as follows:
DATED: 9-22-2020
JEFF RIKER – 15 WALTER DRIVE – 30 year resident and your Environmental Commission Chairman. I want to say congratulations and job well done for your accomplishments and securing these lands; the tributaries that are along there are really important. This work means quite a bit even though some people in town don’t completely understand what it means. They look at dollars and cents, but for someone who has been here this long, these are pretty places and they’re going to continue to be some pretty places, long after we are done here. Thank you very much for the hard work. This generation might not completely understand it, but the next one will. Good Job.
ELENOR HANNUM -7 EVERGREEN COURT- She had two questions, she asked what is being done with the residential properties that are being used other than residential. She has contacted Jeff Purpuro and Andrew Cheney on these properties; one is 146 North New Prospect. They were ordered to do a change of use. It was scheduled for a hearing and then it was pulled.
The other property is 71 East Connecticut Concourse where cars are parked all along the road. This is a classic change of use and it is disrupting the neighborhood there is a first and second violation on this property but she has not heard anything since July 31st.
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATOR WALL- Stated he is happy to follow up on it and report to the Governing body.
Ms. Hannum also mentioned Redwood Place but did not have an exact address.
Her main concern is trucks parking on the JR Landscaping property. There is a court order dated October 29, 2015 and she feels this is a violation of the Court order. After a discussion, Attorney Mcgukin stated he will review the court order and speak with zoning board attorney and code enforcement officer to determine the status.
Ms. Hannum Also mentioned that JR Landscaping was supposed to submit a storm water management plan and has never done so.
NINO BORRELLI-36 WINTHROP DRIVE- I currently serve and volunteer on the Jackson Township Zoning Board of Adjustment so land use issues are a great interest to me. Thank you for passing Ordinance 16-20 to purchase certain land vacant land known as Pushkin Sunnybrook Estates to preserve it for open space to protect it from being developed, as well as Ordinance 18-20 authorizing open space preservation of 4 acre near Rova Farms. Rova Farms it is rural and pristine. Also, Resolution 324R-20 325R-20- it's great to see the County buying up this land as well in our town and have a Jackson guy Councilman Flemming representing our town's best interest on the county level with these nice land purchases here in our own town. These big land purchases will translate to a lesser burden on the future municipal taxes, services and less traffic congestion.
