PUBLIC HEARING, ANY TOPIC

MURRAY FIRESTONE, 1 HAZLETON LANE: He expressed his concerns about the new Town Center. He asked why the Township is even considering this? Mayor Broderick stated that a presentation would be made to the public by the gentleman who is proposing this Town Center concept on October 3rd at the Fine Arts Center. There is no application before them at this time. There is also a website up and running. The Township is considering this for commercial ratables. The Mayor added that he is proposing this but that doesn't mean he is going to get it. Deputy Mayor Krakower explained that he has approval already for 1,644 multi-family homes from 1999. Committeeman Grisanti stated that in the past the developers were allowed to keep coming in for extensions, but that doesn't happen now. He has until 2004 to build his 1,644 homes.

JOHN SMATUSIK: He explained that there was approval for 1,850 homes under Mr. Santos’s administration back in 1988. That was with no age restrictions. He said that there is water waste run-off from thousands of homes being built and they reroute all the rainwater. The rainwater turns into salt water within 24 hours of falling. All this runoff goes into the streams. If the state is interested in saving them, we should back them 100 percent.
