and wounds that still remain. New York City, the Twin Towers, Pennsylvania, [Music] United Flight 93 in Shanksville, DC.
the Pentagon attack. We should also never forget the bravery, the courage, and the compassion of emergency workers, heroes, police officers, firefighters, EMS, and medical personnel who rush to the scene to save
lives and in doing so sacrifice many of them their own lives and still those who suffer from injuries to this very day. We should never forget all those who worked tirelessly to provide assistance,
compassionately cared for the injured, respectfully recovered the bodies of those whose lives were taken, and performed the herculean cleanup effort after the destruction. We must always remember the courage and
bravery of our armed forces who vanquished the terrorists along with those who rebuilt these solemn sites and by doing so restored our way of life
and the American spirit. We must never forget. Please join us all now in a solemn moment of silent prayer. [Music]

effective September 12th, 2025. The second letter is a letter from Bernard Da resigning as a police officer with the Township Police Department effective September 22nd, 2025. May I please have a motion to accept the
letters of resignation? >> So moved. >> Second. All in favor? >> So approved. >> Next, we have two proclamations of the township committee. I'd like to read the titles into the record. The first is a proclamation of the township committee of the township of handover proclaiming
September 2025 as national ovarian cancer awareness month. The second is a proclamation of the township committee of the township of handover proclaiming September 2025 as suicide prevention month and encouraging all residents and

ordinance 23 is a land use ordinance and was sent to the Mars County Planning and Preserve Office as required by the municipal land use law. In addition to the township also notified residents by certified and regular mail who reside within 200 ft of the zone of the public
meeting. This ordinance was also sent to the five contiguous municipalities as required by law. Ordinance 23, 2022 was also referred to the planning board for their recommendation. And in a letter dated August 19th, 2025 from planning board
chair Michael Critley, he stated that the planning board has determined that while ordinance 23, 2025 is not technically consistent with the master plan. The ordinance meets the general intent of the master plan for a single family residential zone. The master plan
states that the single family residential zone districts are based upon the existing development pattern including use, lot areas, and dimensions, setbacks, intensity of use, and other factors. Ordinance 23 2025
promotes this intent since it would change the zoning to be more consistent with the existing development pattern. Upon the adoption, the board will amend the master plan to eliminate the inconsistencies with the ordinance. At this time, may I have a motion to convene the public hearing on ordinance
23, 2025? >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Is there anyone in chambers wishing to be heard concerning ordinance 23? Please state your name and address for the record. Hearing none, seeing none, >> second.

pocket plary retail consumption liquor license 1412-33-00004. >> Hi. Uh Christa. Um this is uh a resolution to approve the transfer of uh an existing liquor consumption license uh in the township and we have the
attorney for the business making the application Samuel Rael and actually the principles are here too. Uh but I thought that we could just give the attorney um a chance to uh kind of tell the story of what the the uh the business will be um what the operation
will look like. Um where it's going to be um what the impact might be on on the loc or the location where it's going to be. Uh and then if the township committee had any questions that they wanted to ask, you know, they could ask some questions. Uh but Mr. Al, did you just want to kind of uh explain what the
what the business uh application is about? microphone's off. I've never been accused of not being uh for the record, my name is Samuel Real Jr. I'm an attorney with a law firm cast and I do in fact represent Whiffany who
clickers and their application is a it's a twofer. Uh first off, it's a person to person transfer on pocket license as council described and it's also a place to place sighting application to place it in essentially what's new construction. I drove by it. It's really
a very very welldesigned and wellbuilt uh center. It's a mixeduse property as you all know. Uh and Lakers is looking forward to opening. That's the question we always get is when do you expect to open? We expect open before the end of
the year fit out and begin probably sometime beginning of October depending on permitting and final design goals. Uh it is a ret is a plinary retail consumption license. Right now it is in pocket. So, one of the concerns is always under the new legislation for
pocket licenses whether it will expire and die and not only be unavailable to anybody in the general public to acquire but under the legislation this particular license may not be something you could actually reissue. It may be gone out of your inventory of available
licenses. So, it's important to get these licenses moved. That was the intent of the governor when he uh put forward the uh the amended legislation which passed in January of 2024 and we are moving forward with that. This is a plenary retail consumption license. It
is a small bar. There will be no entertainment. By that I mean no DJs, uh no live bands, no karaoke. Uh it is unlikely because this is a mixeduse um facility building. Uh this is a a
ownership group that has experience in running an operation like this. They have a facility current. they're looking forward to coming into with me. Uh, and in fact, if your if your clerk and and council remember, this actually was on your
agenda a year ago uh and was ready to go except there were some hang-ups with the landlord uh and the and my clients as related to some issues and this thing sort of has laid and carried for an extra year. Um, it will be a small farm.
Uh, it is not going out. It's not going to be restaurant operations and it looks forward to being a good neighbor. It is a home work with their neighbors with the landlord and with the the community
looking to come in and basically be and and I'll just I I'll leave with one one question, Mr. and just say um our understanding was that the name initially was going to be uh Buzzright Lakers and I think there were some issues with that on the township side and you said you would be amendable or
your client would be to working on an agreeable name uh in instead of that name you know the name that the interesting part about it is a license doesn't have to put a name determined to be determined later Buzzright is actually the trade name that they're using but Buzzright in the little furry
operation is the trade name they're currently using it. They had proposed initially to use Buzz right that way. Um but the the ownership is again it must be a good name. It has discussed and has told me that I could advise you that
they will meet and discuss the names or possible names um with the staff of your economic development advisory committee which you have and I believe there's at least one staff member or two looked at your website uh then they will
reach out to to those individuals uh to consult. They're looking again the these are people who run a good operation. They're looking forward to continue that mode of operation here. >> Did any of the members of committee have
any questions for Mr. Al? >> Robert, I would just like to um make a comment on the as far as the name of the operation if I could when with the name Buzz Hatter Township is a leader and we work with catcher later and now Buzz is
buzz driving. there's a lot of um implications with the term buzz when it comes to alcohol or any other substance. So, I'm very happy you're immunable having that discussion because Hannover Township is front and center on responsible consumption of alcohol and
as far as our younger people are um driving while under the influence influence of anything, we're very very involved in that with education, with programs, and our police department is very involved. So, I appreciate the fact that you're immunable to talking about
that because that would not be good for us in a position we're in trying to be responsible and also encourage the responsible use of alcohol. So, thank you. >> I if I may, I appreciate the the
comments. You know in in this state the way we regulate this industry uh you know there is a substantial amount of pressure on retail operators whether they be liquor stores, bars, restaurants um to monitor consumption
uh both to you know prevent over service uh as well as to protect against the the acquisition of alcohol beverages by underage individuals. And you know, if there's a a concern that the name carries with it a negative
connotation, just as that's what you're suggesting, >> you know, then that's something that they recognize and as I said, they're willing to work with the township to to see what alternate names are available. One of the things that we all are
concerned about now is accounts. Uh the people combined are better than than what you are led to believe better than what any of us including myself for generations you might have had by way of paper you know counter ideas.
Um but you know the reality is is that it's a very very difficult business to be in. And I think that we're fortunate because the operators of this particular operation have private spirits. They're not coming in as neopites. They're
coming in as a very very well tuned team as to how to operate in this environment and to take care of the concerns that we have. >> Anyone else? >> No, just to I I back up what you said, Ace, you know, very glad to hear that
you're you're willing to work with us on that. Um, you know, we welcome any business to to Hannover Township. Um, and and we certainly look to partnering with you uh as you open up. Uh, but we do definitely do look forward to that that discussion.
>> They will they will follow. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> And again, it looks like it's going to be a good fit in that new construction. Feel like there'll be two units on the right hand side. It's actually number 10. And uh we'll be able to see
Good. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. And >> may I have a motion to approve resolution number 193-2025? >> Motion. >> May I have a second? >> Second. >> A roll call. Committeeman Cahill. >> Yes. >> Committeeman Baramka. >> Hi.
>> Committeeman Malco. >> Yes. >> Mayor Gallagher. >> I resolution 193 approved. On behalf of thank you for resolution. >> Yes. Ladies and gentlemen,
>> thank you. Good luck. >> Okay. Next, we have to pay our bills in the amount of $6,357,59358. I really botched that one. >> John, can we pay our bills? Motion to pay the bills. >> May I have a second? >> Second. >> All in favor to pay the bills.
>> Next are raffle applications. RL 3491, Gift of Life on premise raffle. RL 3492 American Legion 155 pull tabs. RL 3493 Sisters of Charity St. Elizabeth 50/50
and RL 3994 Sisters of Charity gift basket raffle. May I have a motion to approve the raffle applications? >> So moved. Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Um, I'd just like to state for the record that I have to withdraw last meeting's RL 3487
uh due to a invalid gaming license. So, I would like to take that off the record from last meeting. May I have a motion to withdraw that license? >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> And mayor and the members of the committee, that clears the agenda. And I
thank you very much. I talked a lot tonight. >> You did a great job. Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Okay. I'd like a motion open to the public. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> If anyone from the public would like to address the governing body, please take the podium, state your name, your
address, and you have four minutes. >> Christopher, 32 Sunset Drive. I listened to you guys earlier. You said that you're appointing a member of the planning board to the environmental commission. >> Yes. >> I checked on this a couple weeks ago to
see if there were any seat on the environmental commission and the roster is full. It's seven members and two alternates. Um I've been waiting six years to get a seat on the environmental commission and I also requested that you guys look into expanding it but state law and found out
that it's limited to seven members state law. So my question is if a member of the planning board is being to the environment commission who's getting the bad news getting >> yeah in terms of environment
we are trying to support the initiative of having an individual serve on both planning and as well as environmental. In addition to that, we had an opportunity as an individual express
doing that. That individual also serves the township as chairman of the open space commission. So as a result of that, I resigned my position on environmental commission and I will function now as
solely a liaison. Therefore, the resignation the resignation on my act opened up a slot to enable someone to fulfill the intent of having someone serve on both boards
and in addition from a strategic standpoint this person serves on open space. So, it made a lot of sense in time to review it and discuss it. Okay, that clarifies that. I just want to make sure that your your position is just as
a standard member and not like a title or like they have or sometimes there certain positions are automatically dedicated based on other offices or titles. So I just want to you can actually vacate yours and it's not
automatic Mr. Mr. Mosca serve um in his capacity as a class three member. Class three member is a member of the governing body. Uh and in this case because he was already on the environmental commission
because he was already a member of the environmental commission. He was doing that dual responsibility of serving on the commission at the same time on the township committee and also serving as liazison. But with his resignation, that
opens up a position for Mr. Edward now participate. Thank you. Stand. >> I'm going to stand for I'll be there. Thank you. >> Thank you. Anyone else? [Music]
>> 79. Just to let you know, at the corner of Richdale and Horsville, there is a tree branch blocking the walk signal. >> Thank you very much. >> Anyone else?
Can you turn your mic up a little bit? >> Good evening. Um, my name is Tom Singa from Development Partners. I am a contract purchaser for uh 7 Rosie Road and I wanted to introduce myself uh to
the the committee tonight. Uh I was uh raised in Rockway, New Jersey. My mom still lives in White Lake, graduated Mors High School, lived out in Chicago now, but we are here doing this project with you guys. You guys are our second
project. successfully the similar type project in Dendo, New Jersey. So, I just wanted to thank everybody for your time and consideration over the next few months while we get this thing pushed over the line. First of all, welcome and thank you for being here tonight. I want
you to know in the last couple years when a business is coming in, we want to start on the right foot with you. So, if you can get all your information to Christa, we've even lately gone and taken site visits of properties the way they look now. We want to understand
your vision on where you want to be. So, we're always available. This is a partnership now. So, if you could give Chris a call, let us have all your contact information and we'll schedule coming out and uh seeing you and try to better understand your vision. >> Yeah, that would be great.
>> Beautiful. Yeah, we're currently working um with the uh the planner on some conceptual site plans and once I think once we make a little bit of progress with Mr. Burgess then we would have something to share and would be happy to to walk the site. It's pretty rough
right now. >> I appreciate it. Just for the recordation work to do and partnership with the township application to the NJ for additional funding to help them with
that secondation. So that's that's coming up next. I'll tell you what's exciting about what we do too. I was just at the uh third anniversary to double tap here. And when I spoke to the owners, I said, "When you bought this building, I
didn't know if you were brilliant or you had a serious problem because it was just a shell that was flooded out. It was brilliant. They created a beautiful business. Their vision was incredible. And there's been a lot of that going on in our township in the last 2 3 years. So, we're making it our business again.
We're walking with you. We do everything we can for you and with our professionals. If you ever need a a nice push, get in touch with us. to give the professionals a little push for you. >> I appreciate it. very close to the top. This was
this this years the township had grand number tremendous amount of funding to never Then he put the tax certificate and then pay additional additional funds
on closing the title and responsible for clean respons. So just by way of background a little bit fast. >> So I am going to put you in a category of the double tap because I was watching
that wash and I was watching that property and I know what has to go into that property and I said these people are either brilliant or one day I'm going to call them aside and say what you think. I was going to say please no judgment when you walk the site >> because I am taking it off your hands
and um it it has 50 years of uh poor environmental practice when it was in service and it's been out of service for 30 plus years now. So, but we're going to clean it up for you guys and put it back on the tax rolls and we're excited to pull another uh project off here in
Morris County. >> Anybody else have anything else? Good. >> Thank you for your time, guys. Thank you everybody. >> Anyone else? >> Dean Atinson. Where exactly is that site?
>> Rosen Road Jefferson Rosen Street. >> Okay. >> Life was okay. Um my question about the new um bar,
he said it was in a mixed use area. So is that going to have the typical bar hours that go like into the middle of the night or is are the hours going to be shortened because it's in mixuse? >> Robert and Chris spend a lot of time on
this. Chris, would you or Fred like to answer that? Yeah, this one we we I think I think they will be entitled to normal borrowers, but we can follow up
on that and and I'd happily, you know, follow up with you about that. They still need to process the application. So, >> okay. Um, and [Music] I did have a question. I missed it. I
was in the bathroom about 23-2025. Um why um exactly did we need to change it from the R25 to R25N? [Music] [Music] The ordinance was uh the result of an
application to the board to recommend change zone to the area. Uh in looking at the application, what we did is a study of all lots in here. We found that the vast majority of
us did not comply with they comply with front yard. Um that means whenever somebody wants to build a dig or renovate their house that's approaching those setbacks. Uh they have to go to court just various
just to do something that the neighborhood already has and the master plan says that the purpose of the single family zones is to uh basically preserve the existing
character of the area. And um so we looked at that character and we felt that the reasonzoning um we did not follow the applicant's recommendations to the letter but we did
find that there was a good reason for reszoning the property. And so what we did was we uh prepared standards for that zone that would change what was changed from the
current zone that it's in. It's an R25 today. It would be an R25N. Actually, it is one upon publication. Um the lot width got reduced, the front yard setback requirement got reduced and
the sideyard setback requirement got reduced. Um, other than that, everything is the same. The lot area didn't change. Uh, the coverage requirements didn't change. Nothing like that changed. It was just the setbacks and the the width of the lot and it was done to better
match what's already there. >> Okay. So, um, so they're they're planning on building similar to what's there already. >> That's 24. I'm sorry. So, they're planning on building what's similar to what's there already?
>> Yeah. The applicant is intending to subdivide the property um and asked for a reszoning uh that he's on. And again, we looked at not just his property, but we looked at all
the other properties and we said, "Well, we don't want to make you uh different than what's there. So, let's see what's there." And when we looked at what's there, we said, "Okay, we'll zone it to match what's already built, the lots that already exist in
that area." And that's what the zoning essentially does. So, if there is a subdivision, it should be consistent with what is already on that street. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Mhm. >> Thank you. >> Anyone else?
[Music] Motion to close. Second. All in favor? I. >> Okay, guys. Before we journ, anybody from anybody would like to take the floor for a minute and share some highlights. Now's your time. John, I'm sorry. >> Yeah. Free paper shred day is happening

very welld congratulations on those. Uh I do have another congratulations to one of our former very own committeemen uh just recently was sworn into the district 2 fire commission and that's Kenny Schlifer. uh he's joined the team now in replacing uh Joe Courtrite and

And then um I also just want to thank the districts 2 and district 3 OEM and the search teams for supporting us in Hannover Township Day. It was an interesting day for sure. Uh but they were there and they supported us 100%.
And lastly, I just wanted to call out uh you may have seen some signs around town. Saturday, September 27th, the Hanover Township at PBA 128 is sponsoring their annual brew fest. Uh it begins at 12:00 at the Brickyards uh and ends at 6 PM. Music, food, a lot of

recreation employees. She does a terrific job and we promote her to program coordinator. Really looking forward to her stepping up. She does a terrific job already. We expect a lot of good things from her. And uh you know one of the criteria when they interviewed her was to um bring one idea

didn't you just postpone? I was over there the next day helping clean up. It was a soggy mess and it would have just been a mud fest at that point. So, again, we did the best we could. Um, so many people. Uh, we got to honor the U10 and U12 girls softball teams. They did a

comments I can make about it. So, I will just let you know that we are working very very hard. We are in touch with many many of our residents and uh we will have some updates hopefully shortly. But the most important thing I
can say tonight is that school is open. Please drive carefully. Our kids are walking to school. They're riding their bikes to school. They're going to quick check to get soda and chips and cookies and all that stuff that kids are supposed to do. Distracted driving is a
problem. We have to be very, very careful. So, just please slow down a little bit. No rolling stops and pay attention to these kids. Thank you very much. That's all I got. Motion to journ. All in favor.
