MASEFIELD
– APPLICATION 04-04
Chairman
Giordano stated that it was his understanding that there was a procedural issue
with the Masefield application.
Mr.
Henry explained that it was his understanding that the revised plans to be
reviewed did not reach the Planning Board Secretary by January 7, which would
have been the ten days prior to the hearing date scheduled for
January 19, 2005
.
Based on this, they were unable to proceed on this application tonight
and asked the Planning Board to adjourn the matter to the next Regular Meeting
on
February 16, 2005
. Mr.
Henry reported to the Board that, as a result of the discussion at the meeting
in December, they did renotice all owners within 200 feet of both Lots 51 and
52, so there was no question as to whether adequate notice had been made.
He further said, when able to continue the hearing again, they would like
to do a recap of what was on the record at the meeting of November 15, 2004, so
everyone can be brought up to speed to the point of the now-revised plans.
Chairman Giordano said there were now a
few procedural issues to review. First,
he noted the need to request an extension of time on this application from
2/17/05
, to
4/21/05
, which was agreed to. Secondly,
Chairman Giordano asked for the Board’s input with respect to adjourning the
matter to February 16 Regular Meeting and also tentatively scheduling it to be
placed on the agenda for the March 7 Workshop Meeting.
As to both matters, the members of the Board and Mr. Henry agreed.
Thirdly, Chairman Giordano noted that the Township’s experts had
expressed a couple of issues with respect to the revised plans, and he asked the
experts if there had been any communication with the applicant’s experts
regarding these issues. Mr.
Lemanowicz indicated that it was intention to prepare a formal and complete
report outlining the items and proceed from there.
He said there were items from the November meeting that had not been
addressed and did not have a problem with getting a report written by the end of
the week that lists all the items, and speaking with the applicant’s engineer,
if the Board was inclined to have the experts do so.
Mr. Majorossy stated for the record that
he had listened to the recorded proceedings of the
November 15, 2004
, and filed the appropriate certificate.
Chairman Giordano asked the members of
the Planning Board if there were any further questions, and there were none.
Chairman Giordano acknowledged Mr.
Trawinski, and Mr. Ed Trawinski introduced himself as counsel representing the
Aversante’s, 18 Carriage Hill, and requested that the Board continue noting
the dates of this matter thoughout the evening as a number of other concerned
objectors may be arriving later. He
also asked Mr. Henry and the Planning Board if his office might be routinely
copied on any correspondence between the applicant and the Board, and Mr. Henry
indicated he would attempt to do that, but noted it is not always possible to
control that process.
BANKO
Mr.
Falcon referred to a letter dated
January 13, 2005
, from Michael E Rodgers, Esq., on behalf of Mr.
Banko, and requesting a time extension of the approval previously given.
Mr. Falcon explained that is permitted under the statute, where the
applicant has encountered delays in obtaining approvals from other governmental
agencies. In Mr. Rodgers’ letter,
he has outlined the fact that there were delays at the NJ Department of
Environmental Protection and the Morris County Soil Conservation District.
Mr. Falcon referred the members of the Board to the draft resolution he
had distributed and said it provides that the Planning Board granted approval on
February 2, 2004
, and the applicant has made a request for an
extension, and the Planning Board is satisfied with the reasons given.
Mr. Pierson
made a motion to approve Resolution PB-05-03; Mr. Majorossy seconded the motion.
