RESOLUTION

PB-07-09  SIMAVA (CANNAVO); Memorialize 90-Day Extension to File Subdivision Deed

Minor Subdivision (Block 130, Lot 6)        

Mr. Buzak began by saying that this is a resolution memorializing the granting of an additional 90-day extension to the applicant in order to perfect the minor subdivision that the Planning Board granted late last year.  There were a number of conditions that had to be met.  The applicant was unable to meet all of them despite an effort by the end of the first authorized time period.  An extension was granted initially, and when they were unable to meet the conditions, another extension was sought.  This resolution grants them that second extension which expires on December 11, 2007.

Mr. Lemanowicz indicated that the only outstanding item was the issue of the spring houses.  He said that Mr. Aubin produced a letter to the Board of Health, which they have not responded to yet.  This should be pursued since there was some discussion as to what would be done with the spring houses.  He went on to say that he, Mr. Aubin and Mr. Cannavo looked at the spring houses. The Board of Health recommended that the two structures be filled with rocks or sand and sealed with concrete.  It wasn’t appropriate based upon what Mr. Aubin saw from an environmental standpoint.  As a result, Mr. Aubin made a recommendation in his letter dated September 27, 2007 and is waiting for the health department to respond.

Motion to memorialize Resolution #PB-07-09 was made by Mr. Pierson and seconded by

Mr. Krieg.

AYES:              Mr. Krieg, Mr. Pierson, Mr. Tolley, Mayor Florek, Mrs. Link, Mr. Mountain

NAYES:           None

Motion carried.

Mr. Tolley raised the issue that Morris County has changed its map.

Mrs. Link discussed the new state plan map.  She said that Morris Township is in a dispute with the state regarding the plan; however, there is nothing that affects Mendham Township as far as she can see.

Mr. Tolley went on to say that Chairman Giordano was planning to cancel the November 20, 2007 meeting.  He stated that Green View Estates final subdivision approval will be placed on the December 3, 2007 agenda.

Motion was made to open the meeting to the public and seconded.  All agreed.  Motion was made to close the meeting to the public and seconded.  All agreed.
