There will be another uh public session at the end. Uh and anytime we do second ordinance, second reading, there will be time to comment or ask questions. Then Chuck, you look like you were coming to the mic. >> I'm ready to go today for Frank.
>> Fire away. Charles of Renowitz, Millington. Comments on ordinance 581-26. A similar ordinance >> was passed. Ordinance was 498-22. >> I'm sorry, Chuck. Just hold on one second. What was that, Jack?
>> That's fine. >> So, we have a we have the meeting open to the public for >> publication, >> right? >> Correct. So, you're making comments in regards to that ordinance specifically because we have a public hearing for that. >> Uh, >> it's coming momentarily.
>> It's coming, but I can still comment on anything on the agenda. That's the approach. >> It it is. So, why don't we why don't you stay right there? >> No, no, no, no, no. Because I I want to make these comments so that you respond to them in your discussion.
>> Okay. >> Anyway, no, it doesn't doesn't happen that way. you don't because sometimes you don't respond. So, I have an advanced comment on three comments that I want you to comment on when we have public
discussion. Okay. All right. Let me start again. Fire away. Gosh. There was a similar ordinance passed in 2022. It's 49822 about the redevelopment zone for the car wash.
My question, three questions or comments are one, does anything need to be done if you pass 58126 tonight, do you have to do anything about 59822? Number two, is the redevelopment plan that's
mentioned in this ordinance, is it the same one prepared by the township planner, Jessica Cowwell, on August 2nd, 2022? Comment three is the ultimate goal of this
redevelopment plan to issue a pilot payment in lie of taxes for this redevelopment zone. You can comment on those three things when we have open public discussion on 581-26. >> Right. Okay. That's fair because we're
still open to the public. item that's on the >> exception. I don't know if anybody >> anybody on Zoom would like to make a public comment related to agenda items only, please raise your hand now.
>> Don't see anyone. Mayor, >> thank you. So now it's number ordinance and I'll read it. We're going to carry this to the March 11 on your agenda. Let's read or
the county of Mars, New Jersey 1141 official tax commonly known as 1106- 112 Valley Road. So at this point
we can discuss it here and then open. >> Right. >> Are we carrying the public hearing to the next? >> Aren't there amendments to this ordinance? >> Right. So so we should adopt the >> amendments by res by motion and then
continue the public hearing on amended March 11th. >> Correct. >> Okay. So, please look up the spot there. Yes. Thank you. The amendment.
The amendments are under the additional use in bulk standards. Paragraph five. to read height in this zone is measured from the proposed grade around each individual building
foundation measured at 50ft intervals in the midpoint of a pitched roof. Second amendment is in paragraph C on the next page. size of parking spaces. The as amended, it will read, "Each off
street parking space must measure no less than 9 ft in width by 18 ft in length." And this is added with compact parking spaces measuring no less than 8 ft in width by 16 ft in length. >> I think there's another one section B,
right? >> Parking must be located on below. >> Yes, in section B, location of parking spaces. Uh it now reads parking must be located or below is added uh the ground floor of any proposed residential building and then there are no
additional changes to the rest of that. >> I see one more. >> Actually, no there is one on that page. >> Oh, there is number E. >> I see it under paragraph E loading requirements
paragraph two. The loading area must be at a minimum 10 ft wide by 30 ft long. It was in the original introduced version 13 ft wide. Believe that's all the changes.
>> Uh building design standards. >> Where are we? >> Oh, I see. Under building design standards, building design shall be governed by section 152 building design standards of the township's land use ordinance and then this is added. However, garage
exhaust louvers and exhaust vent splers are exempt from these requirements. >> No, there's one more. And the highlighting is hard to read. I understand under uh sign standards. I got it.
under sign standards and this is added language with the exception of ground sign height and area. Then it continues the way it was. Sign shall be governed by section 155 permanent signs of the township land use ordinance and particularly section 155.8
signs permitted in the general commercial area B- zone and then this is added language. One ground sign shall be permitted up to 16 ft in height and 100 square feet in total area.
>> That's okay. So the intent here is to discuss it even for that considerable amendments to this or
I'm going to look for a motion to carry it to March 11. The first part of the motion is motion to amend and then continue the public hearing until March 11. So move. >> Second.
>> Committeeman Lavender. >> Yes. >> Committeeman Liberado. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy. >> Mayor Peria. >> Yes. So now we'll need a motion to carry the public hearing. >> So move.
>> Second. >> Committeeman Lavender. >> Yes. >> Committeeman Liberado. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy. >> Yes. >> Mayor Purgia. >> Yes. will be adding definitely address them. Yes, you'll have the opportunity.
So this is second adoption ordinance 58-26 concerning committee meeting procedures and supplementing and amending chapter entitleation. Any comments or questions from >> Can Jack explain this?
>> Yes, this one I can. >> Or I would you explain it, please? >> Yes. No. No, I can't. After the last one, I couldn't. So, yes. The purpose of this ordinance was to memorialize a lot of procedures that we currently follow.
We were waiting in part for the state to come up with uh regulations for hybrid or remote meetings and they haven't done so. So what this does is it sets up procedures uh allowing both uh the the preferred meeting forum is here in
person uh but also we're going to provide uh hybrid meeting both on YouTube and on the council website and the important thing in there is that it provides that for any reason and it's
now part of Megan's uh opening statement is that for any reason technological problems or otherwise uh remote participants aren't able to participate that does not affect the validity of any action taken by the tent committee
so that's basically it all And this gives us an ordinance to back up those procedures. >> So I'd like to open up at this point. As the mayor said, I'm Mr. Sandal from
Millington >> and I'd like to address one of Mayor Persia's favorite topics, >> the strength, >> the strength and goodness of Longhill Television. And I'm not sure why Long Hill Television has been omitted from
this ordinance. >> I apologize. We can add it here on the spot. We mentioned Zoom and we mention YouTube, but we don't mention the 21-year-old Long Hill TV that we're always so proud
of. Please insert it. >> Can someone by motion add to paragraph? >> I got I have a question though. >> Are we talking about interactive means of >> looking at the meeting?
>> Yes. >> Yeah. tele one way. >> I suppose you can acknowledge it by saying while the meetings are televised live, this ordinance addresses such and
such participation. >> You can't participate. No, I'm saying YouTube either. >> That's a good point. >> I I put it also broadcast live on LH TV, YouTube, and on Zoom for a similar platform.
>> That would do it. Y >> All right. I make a motion to adopt with that amendment. >> Second, Megan. >> So, >> oh, I I apologize. We're still open to the public. I'm sorry. Meeting's open to the public.
>> Wait, there's a motion and a second on the floor, right? >> Yeah, that's to amend. >> So, we have to close public comment though. >> Correct. But we have to if there's a motion and a second on the floor, we have to have a vote on it prior to continuing the public hearing. >> Yes. >> But it's just it's just an amendment, not to
>> So, the amendment is to add Longill >> TV. >> To what section? >> A. So, I have a motion from Committeeman Lavender, seconded by Deputy Mayor Dorsy.
Committeeman Lavender, >> yes. >> Committeeman Liberado, >> yes. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy, yes. >> Mayor Persia, >> yes. And so now the meeting is open to the public for the amended ordinance. >> Correct. >> Seeing none, Megan home. >> Anybody on Zoom would like to make a
public comment, please raise your hand now. Maryanne Nunan has her hand raised. Thank you, Megan. Hi, Maryanne. >> Hold on, Marian. I can't hear you. >> Can you guys hear her or no?
>> Yeah, not from up there, though. So, Maryann, why don't why don't you speak and we'll we'll see if there's a challenge. >> Okay, quick question. Um, has and I'm just going to quote it and utilize it as has the car wash property um been bought
by another entity and if so um who is that entity? So, Maryanne, if I could, the public meeting is now open on this ordinance only. We'll get to other questions later in the in the uh in the meeting.
>> Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you. So, thank you, Maryanne. All right. Uh, anybody else at home? Megan, >> if anybody else on Zoom would like to make a public comment, please raise your hand. Now >> I don't see anyone there. >> So I'll close the meeting to the public
on this ordinance. Can I have a motion to adopt ordinance 582-26 as amended? >> So move. >> Second. >> Committeeman Lavender. >> Yes. >> Committeeman Liberado. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy. >> Yes. >> Mayor Bertia. >> Yes. Item number seven, consent agenda
resolutions. Uh any member of the township committee would like to pull any for further discussion or recuse themselves? Seeing none, uh can I have a motion to approve resolutions numbers 26-06526-73.
So >> move second. Committee Lavender. >> Yes. >> Committ Liber. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy. Yes. >> Mayor Pergia. >> Yes. So, committee reports. I don't think we're going to jam Frank tonight because we still have to decide.
>> Uh, you have it. >> Matt has it. >> Matt has it. All right. So, why don't we go right to Matt? What? >> I'll start with uh >> what's it? Library first. Whatever you're pulling up first. these other things you gave me. >> While we're waiting, I can say from the
community services, uh I know she doesn't get a lot of credit, but um Shane Daly, our community services director on Monday during the storm. Obviously, town hall was closed, but there was an elderly resident who didn't have heat on Monday and she was contacted by the police department. So
Shane arranged to get a space heater for that woman and I think her furnace blew. So she's trying to help out with the county or some other programs to um get this woman some heat assistance. So, thank you, Shane, for going above and beyond. I know you're probably embarrassed if you're listening to this, but like I said, it was the everybody
was closed and um it was good coordination between the police department, emergency services, and this is why we have the position as community services director because it would have been a long day um for that resident in the snowstorm if she couldn't have heat.

just want to um highlight the the last uh meeting's report that um everybody's uh concerned with uh Long Hill Road and and when we're going to get it paved and it's it it's been a while. So, uh we are
looking to schedule that uh paving of Long Hill Road, the municipal portion, which is uh Myersville west to the border. Um >> east to the border. >> Yes. I'm sorry. East of the border. Uh
I was looking the wrong way. U and that'll be done in the springtime uh to to early summer. Um I got news today from Morris County. They have their Longill Road on their um repaving
schedule for this year. So that will go from uh Longill Road on Long Hill Road east to Meersville. So basically from uh the the Chattam border all the way to Long Hill Road on Long Hill Road uh will
be paved uh at sometime this coming year this year. So that was good news. >> I don't want to be Debbie Downer on that uh or doggy downer, however you want to phrase it. If NJ American Water were to
um sew with that portion of Myersville that's not currently sewed, >> they would have to dig up Myersville Road. >> Long. >> Yeah. Long Hill or Myersville. >> Well, you're saying they're they're going to do it from where to where?
>> Probably. >> The county from Long Hill Road where you go to Long Hill, make a left and you're still on Long Hill uh to Myersville. So that fiveway intersection that's there >> right >> from that point to Myersville and then
our section will be from Myersville to >> No I think okay I want to make sure I understand >> we're we're talking about from where the intersection is Longill Myersville Road and Mountain going west >> yes
>> to Basking Ridge You might have to get on the mic, >> right? I I think where where I'm getting confused, it's not Myersville Road. It's Long Hill Road. >> That's what Randy said. >> Okay. Right. But it's I thought you were saying it's Myersville. So, we're talking about the intersection to
uh Mill >> to into Milton. Yes. Okay. Chadam, too. Yeah, that would be our side. >> Yes. Okay. Well, that's kind of nice. That's the first time it's I've seen it. The cadence is pretty nice. >> It's all It's all coming together.
>> Um, so I have the um police report for January. Needless to say, they were very busy in January. Um, along with public works actually. So, for calls of service, they had 3,236 uh calls for service. They responded to
21 mo motor vehicle accidents resulted in uh two DWI arrests and they had um only one with injuries. So that was that was good. They also participated along with uh the
then mayor Dorsy on uh swearing in some uh children that won a rapper prize to be honorary police officers and uh several members of the police department. Um so they were sworn in on January 2nd as junior police officers.
Um so they they had a they had a great grand old time here. Um and the police member police department was also invited to the law enforcement job fair at Wong Hills on January 13th.
Uh so they participated in that program. The police department were also able to uh refernish many of their offices o over at police headquarters with furniture donated to them uh from a
corporation that closed the doors. So, uh, they got actually a lot of nice furniture and in very good shape, um, and saved the taxpayers quite a few dollars with, uh, that with that, um, acquisition. So, it was, um,
thank you, uh, for to chief for finding that and and people putting the right people in connection. Thank you public works uh for for moving the furniture and strategically getting them onto the second floor. So uh job well done. And I
also want to uh iterate the the uh public works did a fabulous job. Uh the town I live in, I I was telling uh the director this. I think they took a a new philosophy of within four feet of the curb is close enough. Um, but um, you
know, it's very important and people don't realize this. When all this snow starts to melt, it needs to go somewhere. And in my case, it went into the driveways that were shoveled out and became ice the next the next evening. We're our stuff is actually going into
the storm drains. So, um, very important. You guys did a fabulous job and, uh, quite, especially this storm, this last storm, quite a long palm. So, um, thank you. You guys made, uh, all the citizens of this town safe.
>> That's it. >> Thank you, Randy. I appreciate it. Oh, sorry. Discussion items. Item number 10 on the agenda, it's commercial vehicle and driveways. Um, >> yeah, if you don't mind, we'll carry that conversation. We or discussion. We
don't need to. Uh, >> Frank was already with his homework. I I did start doing some work on it. >> Well, then guess what? Batter up. >> So, uh it's a it's a work in progress. It's uh not something that's very
simple. Um that has a we'll say just a broad stroke. I actually had conversations with Jack regarding the existing ordinance and also regarding you know the involvement of the two components. It was also component about
overnight parking and Jack had mentioned you know there's a title 39 component to that separately from this other ordinance regarding commercial vehicles. So what I would recommend uh at this time is I have more homework to do. I would like to meet with the
zoning officer Mark kind of understand what his concerns are, what he feels are issues. I need to meet with Vic and see what really brought this about. And um I also want to talk to um Chief Chambrell to get the police input also, you know,
uh regarding this. So um it's going to take a little bit of time to wrap around and you know and see what the next step is or isn't at this point, but you know, we are working on it and Jack's been very helpful. >> That's great, Frank. I appreciate that. I know it's not
>> it's a very delicate issue. Yes. >> One size fits all. Uh certainly intention is not. We have many uh businesses in town. Uh this in no way is intended to to hurt anybody. We're just trying to codify it >> so it makes sense. >> Yeah. So that's why I think we got to,
you know, spend some more time investigating and collaborate and then give an update. >> And in fairness, what currently is on on the books, if we were to ask our zoning officer to enforce it, >> it prohibits things that this committee, this township, we've evolved long past
what that ordinance was. >> No, exactly. We're, you know, community of you know workingass blueco collar uh you know I that's I am I'm in construction so I can sympathize you know myself so you know it affects people and I think we need to just look
at it and we'll make an educated approach and work together Randy also has been very helpful also you know we work together here and get our information together and then at that point with Jack's guidance I think we can find something that will work for everybody >> that's great thank you Mr. May we also
send this to the planning board at the same time the planning board for their comments too because I don't know if they ever looked at the newest one. >> Well, it's not really a land use. Well, that's the problem. Certainly the other parts. >> So, should it go there or not? That's
>> not at this point. I think >> Oh, okay. I I think um no I I'm I mean if we could do it parallel at the same time you know so that we can move both components forward faster >> with with committee Dorsy as long as I mean
>> I I asked Scott he thinks what do you think >> it absolutely should go there and I I see a lot of problems with this in terms of dictating what residents can do with their cars >> I don't like that I would vote this down right now just because of that there's so many different neighborhoods in this
town and it feels as if we're taking one view of what a neighborhood should be, superimposing it upon probably 10 different kinds of neighborhoods, right? And I know where this started from
>> No, no, no. I I I >> like what Frank I love what you're doing here with the commercial vehicles, but I just don't think we should be talking about resial And it should go to the planning board for them to look at because they have a sense of what this town is supposed to be in terms of the
master plan we just >> All right. So it'll go to the uh planning board. Megan, you you'll let them know and and Frank, thank you. You'll continue. >> Yes, I'll continue working on it. >> That's great. All right. So, the next
item, and I feel bad because I don't know if we've really discussed this with Frank. >> So, I mean, this is your opportunity, uh, Scott and Matt, if you want to jam Frank with any of the the liaison. >> Yeah, >> that's not the intent. So, why don't why don't you and I have a conversation
about stuff that might make uh the most sense. >> You don't have to absorb what Aubrey was doing. Maybe that's not the ones that you like to do. >> Well, she did. She did in 2020. Uh, and we'll figure out what makes the
most sense and what you would enjoy. >> Sounds great. Appreciate it. >> All right. So, we're going to move on to old new business. Seeing none. Announcement. Frank. This This is you. And I There's got to be some exuberance.
>> Oh, there is. So, this uh Sunday, March 1st, pancake breakfast, Sterling Firehouse, very popular. We We have very good turnout. Food is excellent. It's 8:00 a.m. to noon and uh it's attended by children,
adults, seniors, everyone. We we love to everyone in the community to come. The food is great. It's cooked by our members and we have several businesses in the community that have stepped up and helped us also. And we're looking forward to seeing everyone out there Sunday, March 1st.
>> And what what is the price again? Uh it's uh $15 for adults, $10 uh for seniors uh and children. >> That's great. Thank you, Frank. And thank you, Sterling Fire Company. Uh >> and the mayor is too embarrassed to ask,
but what's the age of a senior? >> Mayor's not even close. >> See, Frank, now you understand why I supported you. The other two I don't >> He's not a day over 40. >> He didn't say which direction. Jack, Jack, Frank, you and I are on the
same page. The rest not so much. Uh, okay. So, item number 13, the meeting is open to the public. Remarks and statements pertaining to any matter. Uh, if you could please try to limit comments to three minutes out of respect
for other members of the public that might want to speak. And what Chuck's going to explain is how Notre Dame lost by 45 points. >> 44. >> It was 44. I apologize >> to Duke and your coach Torres Achilles
has how did he do it during the game? >> I don't know. >> It's bad. Two things. one um as a reminder, we need to see those form letters to support the dredging and where we're joining other towns so we
can get those around and get them to our you to get them together. Okay? So, as soon as they get them to us, we'll get them out. >> Okay. Second thing, um I I know you can't talk about it till the next meeting, but I'll tell you
what. When you went over your amendments to ordinance 551 26, I couldn't follow any of what you were changing, the paragraphs and things you were mentioning didn't match up at all to what's on the agenda.
>> Is it in the public document? >> It's it's being continued. But what I'm saying, >> Fair enough. I read the agenda and I couldn't follow anything that you said. >> I think based on Jack's action, there's no reason we can't give this to Chuck. You're welcome to have it as amended.
That's why we didn't have it in the public uh uh >> not being amended. I don't want to cause any problem. >> You won't get electrocuted. Come forward. >> Sergeant. Sergeant. >> Yeah. >> There's Chuck. There's no dog fence there. Just walk up.
>> Turn the electricity off. You're okay. >> Just like a cattle pride. Yes. Look at that thing there. It's >> what you were >> correct. And the amendments are in red. >> Okay. >> All right. Thank you. >> Thank you, Chuck. Any other member of
the public here in the courtroom? Seeing none. >> No. No. We got Maryanne. I'm sure >> Maryannne would like to speak. >> Maryanne, welcome back. Try again. Marian speak. Say something.
>> Megan. >> Yep. >> Okay. Uh Randy, um is it possible for you to put out um on the website
uh what you just stipulated representing, you know, what is going on on the repavement of Long Hill Road and is it possible to just simplify simplify it to the extent that you know going
towards Basking Ridge versus going towards Chadam. Um I think it would be beneficial um you know for residents just to know what's going on. Um and also second thing which is, you know, you're talking
about being a senior. Um, I'm having a little difficulty myself because I refuse to acknowledge that I'm a senior yet. Um, I don't believe I am, but I also see, you know, I don't see their
ability to connect, to send out notifications, um, with reference to, you know, the closing of the senior center. Um, you know, for for, you know, the blizzard.
Um, and I'm just wondering maybe if we could just incorporate them a little bit more. Um again just on you know the website just to send out some more information um with reference to that.
Um and that's it. You know it's just some things I'm seeing. And then lastly um it was my other question. Um has the car wash property been sold? And if so, who knows the buyer?
>> Yeah. >> No. >> Sold as in from the the current owner, >> right? Has not been sold. Uh I let me let me stand quick. We have not gotten any owner uh change in within the township. So, as far as I know, it has
not been sold. And just to clarify, I know >> if you could just follow through a little more in terms of I think it's so critical, especially with our seniors, you know, if I think it's Kevin Franken,
I'm not sure, but you know, maybe if they know that they have the capability to maybe send you a note just to let them know that they could inform their members also, you know, about closings, etc. That's it. Thank you.
>> Thank you. And I think, you know, just to reiterate, Long Hill Road, as you're going uh west up Myersville Road, when you get to Myersville Mountain and Longill Road, if you make a left east, that's township committee or township
responsibility. If you make a right, go west. That is the county. The good news is what Randy had said earlier. There's going to be somewhat of a coordination in that that entire stretch all the way from Bridge, I guess it is in Chattam, wherever.
>> Yeah. >> Does that sound right? >> And then all the way west to what ultimately becomes uh Basking Ridge Road. I think it ends there. I'm not entirely sure. Uh Al, but that whole stretch will be done sometime
when the weather warms up. We can't give you an exact schedule as Randy mentioned earlier because it's all, you know, based on weather. >> And as soon as we get a schedule, it all it township website. It'll be um sent
out in in our Longhill alerts when the roads will be closed and everything. So, um you know, I and I encourage uh and we have a lot of people that sign up for Alert Longhill. Go on to our website. you can pick what you want to be alerted
about. Um, sign up. You you do get emails. You do get text messages and uh it's well worth it. Um, so take away anything here. Sign up on the website. >> Yeah, it kind of moved the web the web
page changed just a little bit. >> It's over to the if you're looking at it over the long hill alert is is wonderful. You'll get texts, you'll get emails. I see people on Facebook and I feel bad. Bless you. You know what's the garbage? What's the recycling? It's all
there and it is on the township website and the police put out uh uh on their Facebook page. There are multiple places to find it every once in a while. I get it. recycle coach cannot keep up with the dynamic change of what happens on um
weather related but it catches up and and I don't want to prolong this meeting but I just want to uh reiterate to people when roads are snow covered remove your cars from the road also if you could do not put your garbage cans
out two days three days ahead of the ahead of it and try to put it in front of your driveway unfortunately public works may hit those garbage cans because they have to clear the road curb to curb. They're not going to go around in the middle of the road because your
garbage cans are there and and there has been people that weren't even scheduled till Thursday and the garbage cans are out trying to protect the snow from going into the driveway. Um, I'm sorry, but you know, help help us help you.
>> Oh, recycling pickup is Saturday. Saturday morning recycling. And with that, I'll make a motion to discern. >> So move. Second. All that. >> All right. All right. Thank you. >> Thank you everybody.
