ORDINANCES, SECOND READING: 35-02 TITLE: AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF JACKSON AMENDING CHAPTER 109 LAND USE & DEVELOPMENT OF THE JACKSON TOWNSHIP CODE TOWNSHIP CLERK EDEN: She addressed the Mayor and Committee and stated that it has been requested by Counsel to postpone the public hearing on Ordinance 35-02 until the meeting on September 9th. MOTION TO TABLE ORDINANCE 35-02 BY: KRAKOWER MOTION SECONDED BY: GIBLIN YES: GIBLIN, GRISANTI, KAFTON, KRAKOWER & BRODERICK ## ORDINANCE # 35-02 WHEREAS, the Township Committee of the Township of Jackson desires to amend Chapter 109 of the Township Code of the Township of Jackson, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Township Committee of the Township of Jackson, County of Ocean, State of New Jersey, as follows: Section 1. Section 109-40 shall be revised to add the following: 109-40 Design Standards for Stream Corridors Except as otherwise provided by Federal or State law or any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, the following buffering standards shall apply on any stream corridor: ## Background Whereas, buffers adjacent to stream systems provide numerous environmental protection and resource management benefits which can include the following: storing and maintaining the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the water resources removing pollutants delivered in urban stormwater reducing erosion and controlling sedimentation stabilizing stream banks providing infiltration of stormwater runoff maintaining base flow of streams contributing the organic matter that is a source of food and energy for the aquatic ecosystem providing tree canopy to shade streams and promote desirable aquatic organisms ===== PAGE 6 ===== ## providing riparian wildlife habitat furnishing scenic value and recreational opportunity It is the desire of Jackson Township to protect and maintain the native vegetation in riparian and wetland areas by implementing specifications for the establishment, protection and maintenance of vegetation along all stream systems within our jurisdictional authority. ### B. Intent The purpose of this ordinance is to establish minimal acceptable requirements for the design of buffers to protect the streams, wetlands and floodplains of Jackson Township; to protect the water quality of watercourses, reservoirs, lakes, and other significant water resources within Jackson Township; to protect (Jurisdiction’s) riparian and aquatic ecosystems; and to provide for the environmentally sound use of Jackson Township’s land resources. ## Definitions Active Channel: The area of the stream channel that is subject to flows of at least two weeks' duration annually, and that includes the portion of the channel below where the floodplain flattens. Best Management Practices (BMPs): Conservation practices or management measures which control soil loss and reduce water quality degradation caused by nutrients, animal wastes, toxins, sediment, and runoff. Buffer: A vegetated area, including trees, shrubs and herbaceous vegetation, which exists or is established to protect a stream system, lake, reservoir or coastal estuarine area. Alteration of this natural area is strictly limited. Development: 1) The improvement of property for any purpose involving building; 2) Subdivision, or the division of a tract or parcel of land in to 2 or more parcels; 3) the combination of any two or more lots, tracts, or parcels of property for any purpose; 4) the preparation of land for any of the above purposes. Non-Tidal Wetland: Those areas not influenced by tidal fluctuations that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Non-point Source Pollution: Pollution which is generated by various land use activities rather than from an identifiable or discrete source, and is conveyed to waterways through natural processes, such as rainfall, storm runoff, or ground water seepage rather than direct discharge. One Hundred Year Floodplain: The area of land adjacent to a stream that is subject to inundation during a storm event that has a recurrence interval of one hundred (100) years. Pollution: Any contamination or alteration of the physical, chemical, or biological properties of any waters that will render the waters harmful or detrimental to: public health, safety or welfare; domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreational, or other legitimate beneficial uses; livestock, wild animals, or birds; fish or other aquatic life. ===== PAGE 7 ===== Stream Channel: Part of a water course either naturally or artificially created which contains an intermittent or perennial base flow of groundwater origin. Base flows of groundwater origin can be distinguished by any of the following physical indicators: Hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil or other hydrologic indicators in the area(s) where groundwater enters the stream channel, in the vicinity of the stream headwaters, channel bed or channel banks Flowing water not directly related to a storm event Historical records of a local high groundwater table, such as well and stream gauge records. Stream Order: A classification system for streams based on stream hierarchy. The smaller the stream, the lower its numerical classification. For example, a first order stream does not have tributaries and normally originates from springs and/or seeps. At the confluence of two first order streams, a second order stream begins, and so on. Stream System: A stream channel together with one or both of the following: 100-year floodplain and/or 2. Hydrologically-related non-tidal wetlands Streams: Perennial and intermittent watercourses identified through site inspection and USGS maps. Perennial streams are those which are depicted on a USGS map with a solid blue line. Intermittent streams are those which are depicted on a USGS map with a dotted blue line. Water Pollution Hazard: A land use or activity that causes a relatively high risk of potential water pollution. This ordinance shall apply to all proposed development except for that development which meets waiver criteria as outlined in Section H of this regulation. This ordinance shall apply to all timber harvesting activities, except those timber harvesting operations which are implementing a forest management plan which has been deemed to be in compliance with the regulations of the buffer ordinance and has received approval from The Pinelands Commission. This ordinance shall apply to all surface mining operations except that the design standards shall not apply to active surface mining operations which are operating in compliance with an approved surface mining permit of the Pinelands Commission. ## Plan Requirements In accordance with Section D of this ordinance, a plan approved by the appropriate agency is required for all development, forest harvesting operations, surface mining operations, and agricultural operations. The plan shall set forth an informative, conceptual and schematic representation of the proposed activity by means of maps, graphs, charts, or other written or drawn documents so as to enable the agency an opportunity to make a reasonably informed decision regarding the proposed activity. ===== PAGE 8 ===== The plan shall contain the following information: A location or vicinity map Field delineated and surveyed streams, springs, seeps, bodies of water, and wetlands (include a minimum of two hundred (200) feet into adjacent properties). Field delineated and surveyed forest buffers Limits of the ultimate one hundred year floodplain Hybrid soils mapped in accordance with the NRCS soil survey of the site area Steep slopes greater than fifteen (15) percent for areas adjacent to and within two hundred (200) feet of streams, wetlands, or other waterbodies. A narrative of the species and distribution of existing vegetation within the buffer The buffer plan shall be submitted in conjunction with the required grading plan for any development, and the forest buffer should be clearly delineated on the final grading plan. Permanent boundary markers shall be installed prior to final approval of the required clearing and grading plan. ### F. Design Standards for Forest Buffers Forest buffer for a stream system shall consist of a forested strip of land extending along both sides of a stream and its adjacent wetlands, floodplains or slopes. The forest buffer width shall be adjusted to include contiguous sensitive areas, such as steep slopes or erodible soils, where development or disturbance may adversely affect water quality, streams, wetlands, or other waterbodies. The forest buffer shall begin at the edge of the stream bank of the active channel. The required width for all forest buffers (i.e., the base width) shall be a minimum of seventy-five feet, with the requirement to expand the buffer depending on:1) stream order; 2) percent slope; 3) 100-year floodplain; 4) wetlands or critical areas. a. In third order and higher streams, add twenty five feet to the base width. Forest Buffer width shall be modified if there are steep slopes which are within a close proximity to the stream and drain into the stream system. In those cases, the forest buffer width can be adjusted.

15 to 25%add 25 feetadd 75 feet
Greater than 25%add 50 feetadd 100 feet
Forest buffers shall be extended to encompass the entire 100 year floodplain and a zone with minimum width of 25 feet beyond the edge of the floodplain. When wetland or critical areas extend beyond the edge of the required buffer width, the buffer shall be adjusted so that the buffer consists of the extent of the wetland plus a 25 foot zone extending beyond the wetland edge. The following land uses and/or activities are designated as potential water pollution hazards, and must be set back from any stream or waterbody by the distance indicated below: storage of hazardous substances (150 feet) above or below ground petroleum storage facilities (150 feet) drainfields from on-site sewage disposal and treatment system (i.e., septic systems--100 feet) raised septic systems (250 feet) solid waste landfills or junkyards (300 feet) confined animal feedlot operations (250 feet) subsurface discharges from a wastewater treatment plant (100 feet) land application of biosolids (100 feet) For development within 4000 feet of any water supply intake, the setbacks should be doubled. The forest buffer shall be composed of three distinct zones, with each zone having its own set of allowable uses and vegetative targets as specified in this ordinance. ## Zone 1 Streamside Zone The function of the streamside zone is to protect the physical and ecological integrity of the stream ecosystem. The streamside zone will begin at the edge of the stream bank of the active channel and extend a minimum of 25 feet from the top of the bank. Allowable uses within this zone are restricted to: flood control structures utility rights of way footpaths road crossings, where permitted. The vegetative target for the streamside zone is undisturbed native vegetation. ## Zone 2 Middle Zone The function of the middle zone is to protect key components of the stream and to provide distance between upland development and the streamside zone. ===== PAGE 10 ===== The middle zone will begin at the outer edge of the streamside zone and extend a minimum of 50 plus any additional buffer width as specified in Section VI C. Allowable uses within the middle zone are restricted to: i. Biking or hiking paths ii. Stormwater management facilities iii. Recreational uses as approved by the reviewing Board. iv. Limited tree clearing with approval from reviewing Board. The vegetative target for the middle zone is mature native vegetation adapted to the region. ## Zone 3 Outer Zone The function of the outer zone is to prevent encroachment into the forest buffer and to filter runoff from residential and commercial development. The outer zone will begin at the outward edge of the middle zone and provide a minimum width of 25 feet between Zone 2 and the nearest permanent structure. There shall be no septic systems, permanent structures or impervious cover, with the exception of paths, within the outer zone. The vegetative target for the outer zone may vary, although the planting of native vegetation should be encouraged to increase the total width of the buffer. ### G. Buffer Management and Maintenance The forest buffer, including wetlands and floodplains, shall be managed to enhance and maximize the unique value of these resources. Management includes specific limitations on alteration of the natural conditions of these resources. The following practices and activities are restricted within Zones 1 and 2 of the forest buffer, except with approval by the reviewing Board. a. Clearing of existing vegetation. b. Soil disturbance by grading, stripping, or other practices. c. Filling or dumping. d. Drainage by ditching, underdrains, or other systems e. Use, storage, or application of pesticides, except for the spot spraying of noxious weeds or non-native species. f. Housing, grazing, or other maintenance of livestock. g. Storage or operation of motorized vehicles, except for maintenance and emergency use. 2. The following structures, practices, and activities are permitted in the forest buffer, with specific design or maintenance features, subject to the review of the approving Board and the NJDEP. Roads, bridges, paths, and utilities: 1) An analysis needs to be conducted to ensure that no economically feasible alternative is available. The right of way should be the minimum width needed to allow for maintenance access and installation. The angle of the crossing shall be perpendicular to the stream or buffer in order to minimize clearing requirements The minimum number of road crossings should be used within each development. Permitted utilities shall include wastewater pumping stations. ===== PAGE 11 ===== An analysis needs to be conducted to ensure that no economically feasible alternative is available, and that the project is either necessary for flood control, or significantly improves the water quality or habitat in the stream. In new developments, on-site and non-structural alternatives will be preferred over larger facilities within the stream buffer. When constructing stormwater management facilities (i.e., BMPs), the area cleared will be limited to the area required for construction, and adequate maintenance access, as outlined in the most recent edition. Stream restoration projects, facilities and activities as approved are permitted within the forest buffer. Water quality monitoring and stream gauging are permitted within the forest buffer, as approved. Individual trees within the forest buffer may be removed which are in danger of falling, causing damage to dwellings or other structures, or causing blockage of the stream. 3. All plats prepared for recording and all right-of-way plats shall clearly: a. Show the extent of any forest buffer on the subject property by metes and bounds Label the forest buffer Provide a note to reference any forest buffer stating: "There shall be no clearing, grading, construction or disturbance of vegetation except as permitted by the agency." Provide a note to reference any protective covenants governing all forest buffers areas stating: "Any forest buffer shown herein is subject to protective covenants which may be found in the land records and which restrict disturbance and use of these areas." All forest buffer areas shall be maintained through a declaration of protective covenant, which is required to be submitted for approval by the Board. The covenant shall be recorded in the land records and shall run with the land and continue in perpetuity. All lease agreements must contain a notation regarding the presence and location of protective covenants for forest buffer areas, and which shall contain information on the management and maintenance requirements for the forest buffer for the new property owner. An offer of dedication of a forest buffer area to the agency shall not be interpreted to mean that this automatically conveys to the general public the right of access to this area. The Township shall inspect the buffer annually and immediately following severe storms for evidence of sediment deposition, erosion, or concentrated flow channels and corrective actions taken to ensure the integrity and functions of the forest buffer. Forest buffer areas may be allowed to grow into their vegetative target state naturally, but methods to enhance the ===== PAGE 12 ===== successional process such as active reforestation may be used when deemed necessary to ensure the preservation and propagation of the buffer area. Forest buffer areas may also be enhanced through reforestation or other growth techniques as a form of mitigation for achieving buffer preservation requirements. ### H. Waivers This ordinance shall apply to all proposed development except for that development which prior to the effective date of this ordinance: a. Is covered by a valid, unexpired plat in accordance with development regulations Is covered by a current, executed public works agreement Is covered by a valid, unexpired building permit Has been accepted to apply for a building permit Has been granted a waiver in accordance with current development regulations. Waivers may be granted by the reviewing Board under the following conditions: Those projects or activities where it can be demonstrated that strict compliance with the ordinance would result in practical difficulty. Those projects or activities serving a public need where no feasible alternative is available. The repair and maintenance of public improvements where avoidance and minimization of adverse impacts to nontidal wetlands and associated aquatic ecosystems have been addressed For those developments which have had buffers applied in conformance with previously issued requirements. The buffer width made be relaxed and the buffer permitted to become narrower at some points as long as the average width of the buffer meets the minimum requirement. This averaging of the buffer may be used to allow for the presence of an existing structure or to recover a lost lot, as long as the streamside zone (Zone I) is not disturbed by the narrowing, and no new structures are built within the one hundred (100) year floodplain. 3. The applicant shall submit a written request for a waiver. The application shall include specific reasons justifying the waiver and any other information necessary to evaluate the proposed request. The agency may require an alternative analysis that clearly demonstrates that no other feasible alternatives exist and that minimal impact will occur as a result of the project or development. 1. In granting a request for a variance, the Board may require site design, landscape planting, fencing, the placement of signs, and the establishment of water quality best management practices in order to reduce adverse impacts on water quality, streams, wetlands, and floodplains. 2. I. Conflict With Other Regulations Where the standards and management requirements of this buffer ordinance are in conflict with other laws, regulations, and policies regarding streams, steep slopes, erodible soils, wetlands, floodplains, ===== PAGE 13 ===== timber harvesting, land disturbance activities or other environmental protective measures, the more restrictive shall apply. ## NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the foregoing Ordinance was introduced and passed on first reading at a regular meeting of the Township Committee of the Township of Jackson, in the County of Ocean, State of New Jersey, held on AUGUST 12, 2002, and will be considered for second reading and final passage at the regular meeting of said Governing Body to be held on the 9TH day of SEPTEMBER, 2002, at 7:30 P.M. or as soon thereafter as this matter can be reached, at the meeting room of the Municipal Building in said Township, at which time all persons interested shall be given an opportunity to be heard concerning this Ordinance. Prior to the second reading, a copy of this Ordinance shall be posted on the Bulletin Board in the Municipal Building and copies shall be made available at the Township Clerk’s Office in said Municipal Building to members of the general public who shall request such copies.

DATED: 08/26/02 ##### ANN MARIE EDEN, R.M.C. TOWNSHIP CLERK ## DISCUSSION AGENDA: ## RE: PLACEMENT OF MILLINGS (by DPW) ON VARIOUS STREETS IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK J. KENNEDY: He stated that he spoke with Director Polizzi and he would like to hold off on this for now, but will come back with further recommendations. Mayor Broderick asked him to have Mr. Polizzi also check in the Johnson Park area. He stated what they had done there initially entering into the park was adecent job. It kept the dust down and the accessibility was enhanced by the laying down of the milling. If they have any additional milling it could be put down there. Committeeman Giblin stated that they need to make sure that before any milling is put down the street is apublic street. Committeeman Grisanti echoed Committeeman Giblin'scomments regarding making sure that they are public streets. CONCLUSION: Mayor Broderick then told Mr. Kennedy to have the list of streets checked with the Committee before any millings are laid down in the Industrial Park. RE: ISSUANCE OF DOOR KEY TO PRESS BOX AT POP WARNER FIELD J. KENNEDY: He told the Mayor this was already taken care of. #### RE: THE COMMISSION FOR THE DISABLED'SREQUEST FOR TOWNSHIP TO INCUR COST OF PRINTING OF TRI-FOLD BROCHURES (approx. cost350.00 includes 7,000 printed and folded brochures) ANN MARIE EDEN: She explained to the Committee that along with the printing of these brochures it was also brought to her attention today that on the brochure it states 2002. With the Committee’s permission they would like to omit the year and on the back just have it say Commission members. Committeeman Kafton added that it should say ===== PAGE 43 ===== Mayor’s Commission for the Disabled on the brochure. Committeeman Giblin suggested that they okay the printing of it but they should meet with the Chairman, Vinny Rubio and fine tune exactly what the brochures should say. CONCLUSION: Mayor Broderick stated that the Committee will incur the cost of printing these brochures. Mr. Rubio should contact Mr. Kennedy for the changes that should be made on the brochure. ### RE: THE COMMISSION FOR THE DISABLED ALSO REQUESTED PRE-PAID POSTAGE FOR THEIR CLIENT SURVEY (approx. 150 clients) ANNMARIE EDEN: She explained that the budget for the commission is about $400.00 annually and the pre-paid postage will cost about $55.00 CONCLUSION: Mayor Broderick stated that he doesn't have a problem with the prepaid postage. Next year both items can be added into their budget. ## RE: OPEN SPACE PROGRAM MAYOR BRODERICK: He addressed Attorney Starkey regarding the Open Space Program. He stated that Mr. Strauss would like to move forward expeditiously to get some perspective land buys approved. He asked if they could memorialize this now and then put it into Resolution form to get it moving? Attorney Starkey stated he would move forward with this to put it into a resolution so they could vote on it at the September 9th meeting. CONCLUSION: The Committee agreed and Mayor Broderick asked Mr. Kennedy to get a letter out to Mr. Strauss that they will be moving forward with this. ## PUBLIC HEARING, ANY TOPIC DENISE GARNER, 14 EVERGREEN COURT: She began by saying she was here on behalf of the Jackson Marching Band and she thanked the Committee for the tractor that they donated to them. She said hopefully they will bring home some good awards for this town to be proud of. Mayor Broderick stated that the tractor wasn't from the Township but the donation was made through the Township. SHERRY GUIDO, 44 ANTHONY WAY: She spoke about the letter she wrote to the Committee that she placed in the Jackson Times. She said she understood they will not answer her on many of these issues because of the lawsuit. She explained to them that by holding up the permits they are denying her daughter a bigger bedroom. She told them she doesn't understand why they won't issue the permits. In closing, she commented that it's not just her daughter but other children in the park too. She asked them to reconsider. KEVIN TINNEY, 74 LEWIS LANE: He too asked why the Township hasn’t given Mr. Terhune his license so he can get his permits. He said he has a $28,000 trailer that he purchased that is being destroyed. He has about $5,000 worth of damage now because kids keep breaking into it. He was promised a space in this park. He explained that he already has one trailer there and was planning to rent this one out to other tenants at an affordable price. Committeeman Kafton told him they understand the concerns of everyone in this park and they are more than welcome to come up and express them. He wanted to let them know in advance they are in a lawsuit and are unable to speak. They always hold the best interest of the community at hand, but can’t get into this conversation. They are not trying to ignore them. JOHN DELANEY, 45 LUXURY CIRCLE: He stated that this is 2002 and whether you have a lawsuit against this gentlemen or he has a lawsuit against you, what is wrong with following rules? He asked why they can't get these rules taken care of whatever rules are being broken? He asked the Mayor and Deputy Mayor if they received his phone call this weekend? He spoke about how Mr. Grillo shows up and tells them that Mr. Terhune is allowed to make these temporary repairs on his septic systems above the ground. He spoke about his 6 year old twins and how there is no playground or anything ===== PAGE 44 ===== in this park for them. He asked why this lawsuit is stopping the Committee from enforcing these rules? He later added that the other people that have spoke are from Shady Oaks Park not from Luxury Mobile Home Park. He said the speaker before him and after him both work for Mr. Terhune. He asked them again for help. Mayor Broderick began by stating he did receive his phone call but he wasn't home. He said he should be calling the DEP. He told him they are actively pursuing this. The County Prosecutor's office has been involved also. Deputy Mayor Krakower stated he wasn't home either when he called, but he didn't leave his phone number so he couldn't return his call. Committeeman Giblin said they understand that there is a situation out there that needs to be rectified. He said they appreciate Mr. Delaney coming every week and keeping them updated, but they really can't say anything. Committeeman Kafton added that although their hands are tied they keep moving forward with the public's best interest in mind. GARY BLACK, 76 LEWIS AVENUE: He began by saying he is a very proud resident of Shady Oaks Mobile Park. When asked for his address, he told the Mayor that he already knows it, or at least he knew his address when he was a member of the Democratic Club. He said the Mayor is trying to decide what the people want to hear. He stated that he has the time under the Open Public Meetings Act. He told the Mayor he should familiarize himself with the proper way a government should be run. This is why he left his party, because he knew he couldn't handle it. He wanted to know what the plans were for Shady Oaks Mobile Park and Luxury Circle? He then addressed Committeeman Grisanti and said he is also one of the reasons that he left the club, when he first attacked his park three years ago. He spoke about a meeting three years ago when many people came up to defend the park and their landlord. They tied the meeting up for over three hours. He said they can bring more people back and do it again. He commented that what they are doing here is wrong. The people of Jackson Township have the right to live peacefully in their community. They have the right to expand and better themselves and the Committee doesn't have the right to stop them. He said it is wrong and they all know that. He addressed the Mayor and reminded him that twenty years ago they stood up together. At that time, Senator Russo wanted a dump put on contaminated earth in Colliers Mills Park. They stood up because that was wrong. At one time when the Democrats were doing something wrong the Mayor would stand up. What happened? He went on to ask what the number of affordable housing units is in Jackson Township and does that number include mobile home pads built since 1981? He then asked if they are aware that mobile home pads built after 1981 do fall under Mount Laurel requirements? He explained that this is actually providing low income housing without putting any strain on the municipality, because they are replacing what's already there. In closing, he stated that it's not just their park its all over. Lets see if we can work together and be a town again. Mayor Broderick began by asking Mr. Black to stick to the issues. He told him that the people don't want to hear all this. He then explained that in case he didn't hear Committeeman Kafton, they are not at liberty to speak about this because there is an open lawsuit. The Mayor then said if he thought this was wrong he wouldn't be here. He asked him to leave his name and address with Mr. Kennedy and he would afford him the information tomorrow regarding affordable housing. Committeeman Giblin added that Resolution 429R-02 was a renewal of a mobile home park license for Fountainhead properties. Mr. Black then stated that this was due in January, why did it take so long? EARL TERHUNE, 22 SO. HOPE CHAPEL ROAD: He spoke about how Mr. Delaney comes in every week and cries. He said that the Health Department comes in and doesn't seem to find any problems. The DEP was in the other day and didn't find any problems either. He told them that if Mr. Delaney had a problem, he could call him and he will go out there and see what his problem is. He explained that Mr. Delaney has been a problem child for him for the last twenty years. He has lived in both of his trailer parks. He said that Luxury hasn't had a citation since he took it over 7 months ago. They are doing the best they can. The Health Department says they are trying to put 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag. Without building permits, moving trailers around and putting in a new septic system they are always going to have problems. He said he is asking the Committee to give them a chance to do these improvements so they can make ===== PAGE 45 ===== a nicer park. Tomorrow morning Mr. Delaney can call the Health Department or the DEP. He calls them continuously, but they are getting tired of coming out and not finding a problem. All he is doing is stirring up a problem that doesn’t exist. He went on talk about how there are a lot of low income people in the park, but they are nice people. They aren’t trying to hurt anybody, they are just trying to survive. They can’t survive in a $300,000 home. If they won’t give him a license, he can’t improve the park and that is why the lawsuit is here. He explained that they cite a trailer that is going to go on a lot. If they can’t store trailers there, where should they store them? They have been in court before regarding this and the Township judge said he could store trailers there that are going on a lot. He commented on how they will be in court and him and all these people here will be paying the bill. He asked for a temporary license. He spoke about how for twenty years they have taken his money and haven’t given him a license. He has always received the building permits, but this year he can’t even get them. He told them they are letting builders and contractors tear down woods with no problems and these people have been here for years. KELLY DUNCKLEY, 1 ANNAPOLIS DRIVE, MANALAPAN: She explained that she is a property owner here in Jackson and she has lived in Jackson all her life. Five years ago her and her husband bought property on Reed Road and it went before the Planning Board. Her property is on the paved part, but it is millings or a paper road. She has subdivided her property into two lots, her parents were going to move into the other lot. She was required by the Planning Board to widen that road, take down the trees and gravel it. She said the Township Engineer told them that the person building on the corner of Perrineville and Reed Road would be responsible for putting the sub-base and top coat on that 1,000 foot section to her property. The estimate she received was $8,000 and now the price is over $40,000 dollars and her house is only $227,000. She met with the Township Engineer again and Paramount has put up $50,000 for their 60 homes and another developer building 7 homes on Perrineville Road is putting up $40,000. As a homeowner she should put up $40,000 for her one home. She explained that if they do this, they were told the road was going to become approved. Now they have learned that the Township of Jackson has no money and Mr. Peters told them that there is no intention to pave this road for at least two years. They are being asked to rip up a paved road and replace it with gravel and it will stay that way indefinitely. This road is a road to nowhere. It is the access road to Great Adventure and it is not meant to be a major artery. Committeeman Grisanti told her they need to go back before the Planning Board and ask for a waiver of those requirements and give the reasons she just stated. The Committee doesn’t have the authority to do that. He explained that it is up to the Planning Board to look at the engineer’s argument along with hers. The Mayor and Deputy Mayor also sit on the Planning Board and they along with the other members will make the decision weather to waive that requirement. ## MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING ON ANY TOPIC BY: KRAKOWER MOTION SECONDED BY: KAFTON YES: GIBLIN, GRISANTI, KAFTON, KRAKOWER & BRODERICK MOTION TO ADJOURN BY: KAFTON MOTION TO ADJOURN BTI: KARTON MOTION SECONDED BY: KRAKOWER YES: GIBLIN, GRISANTI, KAFTON, KRAKOWER & BRODERICK 8:30 PM RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, ANN MARIE EDEN, R.M.C.
