PUBLIC DISCUSSION
Mrs. Nielson indicated the Township Committee adopted
revisions to the Soil Movement ordinance that puts powers of soil removal under
the Board hearing the application and/or the Planning Board.
She also indicated that the Township Committee did adopt
revisions to the sewer rates, and they are now looking to address the water
rates. She indicated that the Long Term
Financial committee met on this, and she just wanted the board members to know
there will be public hearings coming up at Township Committee level in the
future on this subject.
Mrs. White noted that Lowe’s received their use and site
plan approval from the Board of Adjustment at their last meeting held June 3rd.
Non-Compliant Site Plan Matters - Mr. Lipari and Mr.
Karkowsky asked for updates on:
George’s VW – Mrs. White indicated that this is still
pending in court, but that the site continues to be investigated since there
were concerns raised about stacking and utilizing the adjacent residential
house owned by not occupied by George’s as part of his existing business. Mrs. White indicated that this is in court
again Monday.
Several members voiced concerns about stacking and whether
or not the storage trailer he has put on rear of site creates an impervious
variance since this site was originally grass septic area. Since hook up of sewers, it appears this
owner placed a storage trailer on site.
Mrs. White indicates she would investigate and get some comments back to
Planning Board on this.
Montville Office Plaza: Mrs. White was also asked to make sure that
the foundation under way for the proposed monument sign for Montville Office
Plaza and Senator
Pennachio are in the locations approved by the Planning Board since they appear
closer than Board approved. Mrs. White
will ask the engineering inspector to confirm.
If size and/or location different than approved, she will resolve
accordingly.
RBR site (Ben Gaudiosi – Changebridge Road) – Board members asked
for status of this site since there was a sunset date (end of June) to demolish
the one side of existing building. Mrs.
White to review this and will advise in an email to board members status.
Tiffany’s – Old Bloomfield – Expansion without permit – Mrs.
White indicated she received a phone confirmation call from the applicant’s
engineer who noted he feels he can have a site plan into the board with 45
days. This is an open pending
violation.
Suppa’s – Old Bloomfield - Comedy Club – Mrs. White
indicated she received information from the fire officials that the restaurant
has been holding Comedy nights on the weekends.
She indicated she has requested Mr. Petrillo to send and call owner to
inform him this is not a permitted use, and would require reappearance before
the Planning Board if he wishes to pursue this nightclub type of activity.
