Page 58
JOHN DELANEY, 25 LUXURY CIRCLE: He addressed Mr. Krakower regarding pictures he has. Then he stated that Mr. Terhune is finally making some kind of repairs on the septic system. He asked the Committee if they knew who held the liability insurance for the park as of February 10th. He said he approached Mr. Terhune because he had fallen into a hole on this property that he is managing regarding liability insurance. He told me to speak to the park owner. The park owner said according to his lease as of February 1st, Mr. Terhune should be carrying this insurance. Doesn’t the Township know who has this insurance? Mayor Broderick told him he should contact his own attorney regarding that matter. Mr. Delaney then went on to speak about receiving information in the mail from Mr. Terhune regarding their water being tested. He asked if there is anything that requires that the Township has to get the results of this testing? Committeeman Kafton explained that the Ocean County Health Department probably requires this testing because it is a private system. The results should be on record there.
EARL TERHUNE, JACKSON: He began by saying that Mr. Delaney comes here every week and asks for help. It doesn’t seem like anybody is helping him except for Earl Terhune and Luxury Trailer Park. They are stoning every septic tank in that park. They would have done this a lot sooner if it wasn’t for the Building Department and Zoning Department harassing them. He explained that the water is tested every month. The DEP is the one who comes in and does this. He then stated that he was insured from the day he took over that park. Mr. Terhune stated that he didn’t have to have permits to pump from tank to tank per the DEP. He said in good faith they have cleaned up both parks. He then asked the Committee to give him his license so he could put in new homes. He spoke about how the Zoning Officer keeps harassing him about the new trailers that are sitting there to go on the lots, which can’t be done without a license. They were already to court over this once. Deputy Mayor Krakower had asked Mr. Terhune why he was pumping septic waste from tank to tank if he didn’t have any permits to do that? He later asked if he had proof from the DEP in writing that he didn’t need permits?
MURRAY FIRESTONE, 1 HAZLETON LANE: He expressed his opinion regarding the Resolution that was passed regarding new fees for the master plan. He asked to make the master plan free for residents. Mayor Broderick stated that they are just charging the fee that it is costing them for reproduction. He told him he could go to Town Hall or to the library to review it.
GARY BLACK, 76 LEWIS LANE: He asked how much a penny on the tax rate equals in anticipated revenue? He then stated that hopefully, they will keep one of their campaign promises to get cable television to televising the meetings. He went on to speak about the Town Center and how they make it sound like this just came out of nowhere. In Mr. Grisanti's campaign literature there were references to it. The Asbury Park Press stated that there has been secret negotiations for two years? Committeeman Giblin stated that a penny is $237,000 dollars in anticipated revenue. Then he later explained that as far as televising these meetings, there was a problem with the original purchasing agent to purchase the equipment. They anticipate in the near future they will have these meetings televised. Committeeman Grisanti stated that in Cablevision's contract there were provisions that they had to help to provide equipment. We had to enlighten Cablevision that they were obligated to do that and now they are aware of it. It will take time for them to give us equipment and airtime, etc. Committeeman Kafton stated that regarding the Town Center, the developer has not filed any applications with the Township. They have made presentations and he should go to the meeting in October. Deputy Mayor Krakower stated that nobody supports 5,400 homes. We have a problem because the average family has almost 3 children, with 1,604 units this would mean about 4,500 children added to our school system. The average elementary school feeds 800 to 900 children. We would have to build two to three elementary schools and an additional high
