2. Environmental
Commission and Tree Protection Committee/Monitoring of Easement and Woodlots.
Sarah Dean Link represented the Environmental Commission
and Brian Hays represented the Tree Protection Committee.
Mr. Hays began with a brief explanation of proposed work to
be done during the end of this year and into next year.
He noted that Township ordinances address tree removal on both
undeveloped and developed property. He
said that forest management plans have been monitored from a county and/or state
level and by involvement of the Tax Assessor at the local level.
He said that the tree committee met with the environmental commission and
the Township forester to discuss the current forest management plans on file
with the Township. He noted that the state takes 5 years to look at forest
management plans. A major concern relates to a current plan that was approved in
the past. He said that there are
questions about 2 of the 32 current plans. The
proposal includes a request for funding to begin reviewing the plans with
concentration on water quality issues. Mr.
Schrier asked about the tax assessment standards that must be met in order for a
property to be assessed as woodland and/or farmland.
Mr. Hays said that the tax assessor doesn’t review the properties to
see if they are being maintained to accepted management state standards.
The proposal being presented here would give the Township a better
assessment of whether the properties are being maintained to the accepted
standards. Mr. Krieg asked what
amount of income has to be generated to obtain woodland status.
Mr. Hays said $500 is the minimum. Mr.
Hays said that with different people managing the plans a variety of standards
are used.
Sarah Dean Link said the Environmental Commission
inventoried conservation easements five years ago and now their next step will
be to educate the property owners regarding what can and cannot be done on
easements as well as to set up a monitoring program.
She said their plan is to hire the Township’s forester to do the
inspections of easements over the winter and early spring, with no commitment
beyond the baseline inspection proposed.
3. Mayor
Pierson, assisted by Chief Costanza, administered the Oath of Office to
Patrolman Prumatico. Patrolman
Prumatico’s mother, Frances, held the Bible for her son.
4. Ordinance
20-2004 – First
Reading
ordinance regulating
hours of construction and use of power equipment and supplementing the
mendham
township
ordinance code with a new section 3-9
Mr. Clapp explained that this ordinance is not a regulation
of noise; to do that requires a decibel reading machine.
The current ordinance addresses construction by contractors and
homeowners. Mr. Schrier asked for
the phrase “peace and tranquility” to be added to 3-9.1.
There was a lengthy discussion regarding the use of “family members”
vs “relatives” in 3-9.3.
Mr. D’Emidio said he has a problem with the
5:00 p.m.
ending time on Saturdays.
Mayor Pierson opened the discussion, on this topic only, to
the public.
Frank Mulcahy, 7 Knollwood Trail East: thanked the Township
Committee for moving so quickly on this matter.
He said his concern is policing these regulations and he acknowledged
that the police won’t be going around with a stopwatch looking for someone
mowing their lawn at the wrong time, but would respond only in the event of an
actual complaint.
Phyllis Florek,
Prudence Lane
: asked about how these regulations
will impact snow removal. Mayor
Pierson explained that snow removal activities are exempt from these
regulations.
Marian Koste,
Ironia Road
: said this is a touchy subject to
address, but it does address a quality of life and concern for neighbors issue.
She noted that barking dogs left outside for long periods of time and
large equipment owned and operated by homeowners are also concerns.
She said that once one has complained to a neighbor about such things,
one is labeled as a troublemaker.
Mr. Schrier replied to Ms. Koste, noting that there is a neighborhood
dispute resolution committee to deal with such matters.
He said this proposed ordinance is meant to help people understand that
some activities do intrude on one’s neighbor’s quality of life.
Mrs. Koste said she appreciates the shorter timeframes and suggested
education of the public will be needed. Mayor
Pierson said there will be a press release in addition to the official
publication of the ordinance prior to final reading.
No others asked to be heard.
Upon motion duly made and seconded the meeting was closed to the public.
Mr. Schrier asked if the ordinance contained an exemption
for farming activities. Mr. Clapp
said it does contain an exemption.
Mr. Krieg said he has had conversations with several
landscapers and they have been supportive of the proposed regulations.
Mr. Phelan said he is comfortable with the proposed
starting times, and he could be persuaded to approve either 5:00 or 6:00 p.m.
for ending times on weekends and holidays.
Mr. D’Emidio said he is weighing the positives and
negatives of the suggested times and his earlier concerns about the ending times
on weekends are waning. Mr. Krieg
said 6:00 pm would be acceptable.
Mr. Schrier made a motion to adopt Ordinance 20-2004 with
the suggested changes; Mr. Krieg seconded the motion.
ROLL CALL – All present voted YES.
5. Discussion
of Request for Waiver/Conservation Easement at 128 Mosle Road.
Michael Keegan and Richard Traynor, Esq., were present for the
discussion.
Mayor Pierson acknowledged receipt of a letter from Mr.
Keegan following the discussion of this matter at the October 12th
Township Committee meeting. Mayor
Pierson asked Mr. Keegan if he had written the letter himself.
Mr. Keegan said he had not but had approved it.
Mayor Pierson said he looked at the property and he remembered it as
being in a natural state. He said it
now looks as if something had been done to it.
He then researched the matter and found that a zoning violation had been
issued in October 2003. Mr. Keegan
said he was told it was for the removal of trees within the easement.
Mayor Pierson asked Mr. Keegan if he had planted the evergreen trees that
are in the easement. Mr.
Keegan said he did plant the trees as he was unaware of any restrictions on
planting trees on an easement. Mr.
Clapp said there is nothing in the easement language that prevents planting.
Mayor Pierson said the
Township Committee has discretion and this is the first such request they
received.
Mr. Krieg said he looked at the property without actually
going up the driveway because there was a dog there and he didn’t want to get
it barking. He said he noticed a
wire fence with wooden posts that looked like a deer fence and it appears to be
in the easement. Mr. Keegan
acknowledged the fence is in the easement by about 20’ into the 50’
easement. Mr. Krieg asked what the
dimensions of the proposed fence and posts.
Mr. Keegan said the posts are 2’x2’x6’ concrete posts.
Mr. D’Emidio said he was unable to look at the property,
however, he said he is not really hearing a good reason to put the fence in the
easement. He said fences don’t
have to be in a straight line.
Mr. Keegan said he is trying to stay away from the trees.
Mr. D’Emidio said he may not be able to avoid some trees on the
property. Mayor Pierson said there is a mesh fence on top of a weathered fence
at his property that Mr. Keegan may want to take a look at.
Mr. Schrier said he is irked at the tone of the letter due
to the threatening tone that either this proposal be approved or trees will come
down. Mr. Keegan said it is likely
that some trees will have to come down in order to put the fence outside of the
easement. Mr. Schrier asked
Mr. Keegan if he would consider alternatives to his proposed style of fence.
Mr. Keegan said he would be willing to look at alternative fencing, he
just wants to keep deer off his property.
Mayor Pierson said he is sympathetic to Mr. Keegan’s
problem.
Mr. Phelan said he was not at the last meeting and was
unaware of the discussion of this matter. He
didn’t visit the property, however, he has seen the exhibits and photos.
He suggested that, with some creative landscaping, the objective of
keeping the fence outside the easement area may be achievable.
Sarah Dean Link reported that the Environmental Commission
discussed this matter at their last meeting and had not seen Mr. Keegan’s
letter or proposal. She noted that a
conservation deed language specifically prohibits fences in easements with no
provision for waivers from the Township Committee.
It was clarified that the easement on Mr. Keegan’s property was written
prior to the language referred to by Mrs. Link becoming part of the Land Use
Ordinance of the Township.
Mr. Traynor asked what
would be the negative impact of allowing a fence in an easement.
Mayor Pierson replied that the Township prides itself on maintaining open
space and its rural character.
Mr. Traynor said the property in question would still suit those
purposes.
Mr. Keegan said he would consider a different type of fence
if his proposed location was approved.
Mr. Schrier said more time is needed to make any decision
on this request. Mr. Traynor said
the burden of proof is on the applicant in planning board and board of
adjustment applications and this case is different and if the committee finds
any reason that the fence should be allowed that should be good enough.
Mr. Clapp said he disagrees; he said that because the easement refers to
an exception that doesn’t mean it has to be granted.
Mayor Pierson asked Mr. Keegan if he is willing to wait
until Mr. D’Emidio, Mr. Phelan and Mr. Schrier
have had a chance to visit the property.
Mr. Keegan asked how that would benefit his case.
Mr. Schrier said the point is that the Township Committee is trying to
protect the easement and have changed the form of language for an easement to
prohibit fences. He said the
easement belongs to the municipality and they want to protect it.
Mayor Pierson said it is Mr. Keegan’s choice to wait
until the members of the Committee have seen the property.
He said unless a hardship can be demonstrated he would not be in favor of
granting the request.
Mr. D’Emidio said he would have to go to the site and if
something jumps out at him he would consider going onto the easement.
Mr. Traynor said it is possible to put the fence outside
the easement area with or without removing trees but to put it inside the
easement area would require the removal of some trees.
Mr. Keegan said if there is a possibility of getting the
waiver he would be willing to wait another two weeks.
Mayor Pierson said this would be deferred to the next
meeting and the three members of the Township Committee that have not visited
the property will do so prior to that meeting.
