PUBLIC
DISCUSSION
Introduced Mr.
Deane Driscoll as Liaison from Board of Adjustment to Planning Board
Concerns
raised on window painting voiced on Montville Bagel & Skateboard use at
Gaudiosi building on Changebridge. Mrs.
White asked to address. Concerns about
abuse of the temporary sign policy enacted April 1st 2009 for a one
year trial period raised. Some
businesses are abusing the policy and Mrs. White was asked to look at those
areas and if necessary, issue a summons in order to achieve compliance. Board members understood the economic climate
we are in, but noted that random window signs, banners and temporary signage
appears to becoming more than anticipated, and that we should be diligent on
making sure those that are not complying with our sign policy or sign ordinance
should be instructed and noticed accordingly.
Mrs. White will address with Mr. Petrillo and the business owners in
question.
Concerns
voiced over the Don Pepe banner across Rt. 46, and although they were requested
to remove this, the banner continued to exist.
If necessary a summons should be issued.
Mr. Lipari were
voiced on behalf of the Towaco Fire Department about a possible safety hazard
for emergency vehicles if, when there are activities, cars park along the front
parking area since it may be difficult to make a turn. There should be ‘no parking signs’ posted in
this area to make sure that the opening is always left clear in case there is a
need to have the fire trucks access site.
Mr. Sandham will bring this issue to the Township Committee.
The secretary
was asked to put this in writing to the Township Committee, copy Mr. Mazzaccaro
and Mr. Bastone so that this can be addressed.
Also requested was installation of a Knox Box that allows fire services
access. Mrs. White will send
accordingly.
Mr. Lewis
commented on the Rt. 202 corridor from Montville Inn up to the industrial
building where many new upgrades/buildings/landscaping and lighting features
were installed. He stressed we should
look at the other side of this corridor to promote the same type of upgrades we
have obtained to date.
Mrs. White was
asked to contact Montville Florist also.
The back yard dumpster and recycling area is in maintenance code with
debris all over. Mrs. White will ask Mr.
Petrillo to make sure the dumpster/recycling area is enclosed.
Mr. Speciale
wanted to make sure that before we punish the business owners in town with
their temporary signage, we should first look at those violators who are
blatant. Mr. Karkowsky elaborated on the
amount of time spent by the Chamber and Subcommittee of Planning Board
developing a temporary signage policy.
