>> Good night. >> Present. >> Present. >> Sir, I need to swear you in. Could you raise your right hand? Do you swear that the testimony you're about to give should be the truth? >> I swear. I do. So, >> thank you. Your name and address, please. >> Uh, Tobias Kidser, 27 Johanna Court,
Please. >> Thank you. Mr. Kids, could you explain to the board what you would like to do here? So um as I indicated in my application, I have been going through uh every fall I have to uh packs upon leaves because
for some reason my property is on the windward side of the neighborhood. So all the leaves in the neighborhood get into my yard even though I don't have a single tree in my yard. So, I'm trying to see if I can put a picket fence,
space fence, uh, 4 ft high metal just to reduce the amount of leaves that get into my yard. >> Okay, sounds like a plan. Um, Jonathan, cover some points with this, my friend. >> Yes. So, similar to the last applicant,
uh, can you confirm, uh, the shed that's currently located over the sanitary easement? Is that still on the property? So the survey that you have was uh done in 2008. The shed was uh installed and approved
by the township last year. So that that shed will not appear on the survey that was done in 2008. So the shed is there. >> Understood. Uh do you you also understand that your uh proposed fence lies within a PSEG ement?
>> Yes, I do understand. So the utility box that is to the right when you are facing the street >> that is going to be outside of the fence. We will leave it outside of the fence. >> Uh you we're still going to ask you get permission from the utility.
>> I will have to apply for permission and I once I apply and I get the permission I will submit it to Laura and probably she will >> Okay. and and we we'd also ask for you to get an underground mark out um which you could do, you know, 811 and that shouldn't be at any cost to you, but
we'd like to see that uh prior to the fence getting installed just to make sure we're not hitting anything when you drive the posts in. Um and then once we get the approval or letter of no interest from the utility, uh we'll ask
you enter a memorandum of restriction with the township so we can access the easement in case um in case we need to. Are you agreeable to that? >> I I agree to that. So my question is
>> once the the utility markings are done, do I have to take pictures or how would would you know that they have been done? >> You you're going to you're going to correspond with the utility. They'll send you an email or a letter. Just send us a copy of that. Submit that with uh to to Laura or to myself
>> and we'll put it in with your file. >> Okay. >> Okay. and then we'll get you the and then we'll we'll get you the memorandum of restriction and then we'll uh proceed with the fence permit from there once that's been recorded. >> Okay.
>> All right. Sounds like a plan. Any other members of the board have any questions or comments? >> Hearing none. I'm going to open it to the public. Anyone in the public have any questions or comments about this application? >> No one chairman. >> Okay. Close the public portion. Make a motion to approve this application. Get
a get a second. Second. >> Thank you. Hold the roll, please. >> Mr. Wisman. >> Yes. >> Yes. Yes. >> Mr. Tiller. >> Yes. >> Mr. Patel? >> Yes. >> Mr. Reio? >> Yes. >> Mr. Blunt? >> Yes.
