ORDINANCES, SECOND READING:
35-02
TITLE: AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF JACKSON, COUNTY OF OCEAN, STATE OF NEW JERSEY AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 109, SECTION 40 ENTITLED “DESIGN STANDARDS FOR STREAM CORRIDORS” (CARRIED FROM AUGUST 26, 2002)
ATTORNEY KEVIN STARKEY: He explained that this Ordinance has been amended slightly since first reading. They have incorporated comments from the DEP and are bringing it into line with their regulations. He told the Mayor and Committee that this is not a material change and therefore they can go on with the second reading.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED:
ANDREW ROBINS, LAW FIRM OF HALLERAN: He began by stating that he represents the New Jersey Shore Builder's Association. He explained that this organization already complies with all the rules and regulations including state statutes. They have been made aware of the Stream Corridors Ordinance and have reviewed the more revised Ordinance and believe that the state statutes and regulations sufficiently protect the stream wetlands and flood plains. Therefore, they believe that this should preempt the municipality's ability to regulate stream corridors, in particular with regards to buffers. He said they fully recognize that the Department of Environmental Protection and Waste Water Management Group requested that they adopt an ordinance but they feel that group within the DEP is not quite familiar with the state statutes. He read from the statute regarding forest buffers and wetlands. He spoke about Ordinance 35-02 and gave his comments regarding certain sections. Attorney Starkey explained that his office did receive comments from Mr. Robins' law office as well as the DEP and have incorporated them to the extent that they think they are legally valid and applicable here. He said he understands that his comments are made in good faith and taken that way, but they are trying to comply with the DEP regulations as well. Mayor Broderick said he had the opportunity to visit the DEP today and he can't believe that out of 3,000 people that are housed in that building, there is not one attorney that knows what they are talking about. He said he would go along with the comments of the DEP. He then asked Mr. Starkey if they are still involved with litigations with NJ Shore Builders Association? Mr. Starkey replied that they are involved in litigation on two matters regarding previous Ordinances that were prepared.
