and past VFW Commander Walter Gearian to the flag of the United States of America and to the stands one nation Liberty and justice for all. Adequate notice of this meeting has been
sent to all council members and to all legal newspapers in accordance with the provisions of the Open Public Meeting Act, Chapter 231, Public Law 1975. The public is hereby advised that any statements made during the meeting of the township council of the township of
Saddlebrook may not be privileged or protected and our persons or entities who take issue with such comments or are offended by saying may have a pass or a legal redress through the courts. Any member of the public who addresses the council speaks for themselves and not for the council.
>> Okay. Before we open the meeting to the public, anyone wishing to speak about 9395 market, we are going to open the meeting to the public when we go when we vote on the ordinance. Um, so you could speak to be put on the record there or if you want to speak in the beginning,
you're more than welcome. Okay. Motion to open the meeting to the public. >> Motion second. >> All in favor? >> I. Anyone wishing to address the council, please step up to the mic, state your name and address for the record. for anything. >> It's for anything. Yes, we are going to
open again for the ordinance. If you want to be put on the record for any statements, you could wait till we open the meeting for the ordinance as well. >> Hi guys, thank you for listening. My name is Susan Fill. >> I'm at 29 Hamilton Avenue with my
husband Marty. I would just like the board to take into consideration instead of building a larger unit, how about a which are 40 units and making it for 55 and older. The reason I believe that would work is because there's a hardship
parking now on Harrison Avenue. If you ever go there at night after 7:30, excuse me, there's a lot of parking on both sides. There's overnight parking on that street for people that are not residents of that street.
Also, if there's an event happening, for example, when they had the candidate meeting at Saddle Brook Diner, we couldn't get up. So, if we have a 55 and older, it would help with the parking in that block because most residents that are 55 and
older, it's one or two cars versus families that have people that have licenses and have more than two cars where they Paris Avenue ready is a catchall for
parking and for parking for the houses that are on that block that are two families and have six cars towards towards the beginning of the block. Also, it would give an opportunity for seniors that are 55 and older that want
to stay in town and want to downsize, they have an opportunity to still stay in town. It's a great town. Inventory in this town goes very fast. If you look at the sales, they're not even lasting 30 days because it is a good community. If
the seniors decide, oh, this is a great opportunity for us to downsize and move into this 55 and older, it would raise taxable income because um the senior freeze would no longer be in effect for those homes. It's a very um I think it
would be an opportunity and I just want to let you guys know maybe take that into consideration. Thank you for listening. >> Thank you very much. Good evening everyone. Thomas family 128 Lincoln Avenue Saddlebrook. Um just want to speak about a few things tonight. Uh
few upcoming things. Um first off um the First Reform Church in Saddlebrook. I want to let everyone know up here and every everyone watching um is celebrating its 125th anniversary. It's the oldest church within the present boundaries of Saddlebrook. Um it was
established in November of 1900. And to celebrate, we are going to be hosting an anniversary dinner and program and service. It'll be held on Saturday, November 22nd at 5:00 pm. that will be at the SAR BFFW upstairs in the main
ballroom. Um it's going to be a beautiful night, a wonderful night to celebrate all the years of faithful service and um dedication to our comm community to the community. Um if anyone's interested in attending, tickets are $50 a person. Um checks can
be made out to the First Reformed Church of Saddlebrook. Um, we prefer to have the money paid for in advance so that we we know how many people to expect and and to attend, but we will take a few people at the door as well. Um, anyone who wants to bring a check can can just
simply drop it off at the church um on at the uh double doors entrance on Acriman Avenue. Again, you could drop it off. We have there's two parking lots there. Um, just go in through the Acriman AB there the double door entrance has a has a mail slot. you to
slot your check through that way. We will we will be make sure you get on the list to be paid the next day, Sunday, November 23rd, during the regular service at 10:30. It's it's going to be like an old home what we call an old home day celebration also. Um for
anybody who's in town because some we're going to have some extra people coming into town for this for the celebration. Just want to get together and just continue the celebration the next day. So I hope that everyone watching can consider attending. It'll be a beautiful night. The next thing I want to switch
gears to the mayor's youth group. Um they participated in many Halloween activities. Um starting with the senior Halloween party that was held October 21st at the VFW. The seniors had a great time dancing and there were so many
youth group members there who really helped bring drinks and and to all the seniors and helped with any of their needs um during that event. They they have such a great time and they just don't stop dancing. It's a it's an incredible it's incredible to see and they had the costume parade which was
officiated of course by the mayor and and Karen Dminino. So I just want to thank them all for for doing that again. Everybody had a blast. Um next thing we participated in was the um Halloween decorating contest. And I want to also acknowledge the
winners. I'm just going to pull it up real quick. Just give me one second. But they this year we had the youth group members go out and and judge all the houses. We had about I want to say 12 houses were in the contest.
Okay, here we go. So third place was 65 Nedlook Drive. Second place was 146 Claremont A. First place was 48 Acriman. Finally, don't want to go over the time. Um trunk they helped out at trunk or treat my car.
They helped decorate my car. We did like a basketball on a 67 theme. Sorry to anybody watching, but yes, we did a 67 theme basketball. It's very popular now with all the young people out there. So, I just want to thank the youth group members for coming out and forced all those events. Thank you. Have a great

Anyone else wishing to address the council? Seeing no one else, motion to close. >> Motion. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. Uh comments. Mayor. >> Thank you, Council President. Um, as
we're everyone's aware, many people are here tonight, uh, for the ordinance, the redevelopment plan amendment for 9395 Market Street. And, uh, we'll be getting into that shortly. Um, basically, we're changing uh from mixed use to all
residential. And again, we'll get into that a little bit later. I want to mention a couple of grants that we received recently. Um, we received notification from Bergen County Community Development Block Grant. We were awarded 138,000
uh to pave South Street. Um, also, we just received the word today that um we received 44,000 for the police department accreditation um through um a grant program, a federal
grant. So, uh, that that's going to be towards accreditation of the police department. Um, some town events, uh, let me let me back up. Um, some capital improvement projects. Right now, the tennis courts are being uh, resurfaced. Um, they're
going to be three tennis courts and two pickle ball courts. Um, right now it's been milled and paved. That's uh that's the Mayill Street park uh across from the high school middle school. Um also uh Third Street, we just went out for a
bid to bid on that to pave Third Street. Um so I think we might be awarding a bid tonight on that. Okay. Um town events. Uh Thomas mentioned the senior Halloween party that was held on Tuesday, October 21st at the VFW. We want to thank Karen
Dminino, uh, Christine Genuario, Sandy Goodwin, Howie Rafski, and I want to congratulate all the winners at the costume contest. Um, the seniors really had a good time there. They always enjoy it.
Like Thomas said, they dance all night, so they have more energy than I do, that's for sure. Um, trunk or treat was held on Saturday, October 25th at the municipal complex. I want to thank Shannon Akamando, Christine January, all who participated by decorating a trunk
and the parents and children who attended. Uh this year we also had a sensory friendly period uh from 2 to three for children with special needs and uh that was we had uh we had quite a few kids come at that time as well. So
that was that was a nice thing to do. Um, I want to congratulate the winners of our Halloween home decorating contest. Um, and all who participated. Thomas mentioned the winners. Um, VFW Post 3484 had their annual Veterans Day
ceremony this past Tuesday, November 11th, at the VFW circle. Uh, this year, the high school middle school band participated and they performed the national anthem and a few other songs. So, it was nice to have them there. It was a nice touch. Um, happy birthday to
the United States Marine Corps as 250 years old. Some upcoming events, as uh Steve mentioned, the green team this Sunday is going to be at Veterans Field, 2 p.m. Uh, Thanksgiving holiday is coming up.
Municipal offices in DBW will be closed. Thanksgiving Day, which is Thursday, November 27th, and Friday, November 28th. Section 4 pickup will be the following Thursday for um ABW pickup. Um please join us at our annual tree
lighting uh on on Friday, November the 28th uh the day after Thanksgiving at 6 p.m. here at the municipal complex. Refreshments will be served and special guest guests from the North Pole will be here for the kids. Um some other things
uh I just want to mention Walter Gear Gear's passing uh Walter was a great guy part of the greatest generation uh a true true true leader true man that uh believed in democracy uh believed in
justice was just he believed when we when we recite the the pledge of allegiance he really truly believed all of that and uh and that so did that whole generation. So, uh, God bless him and, uh, condolences to his family. Um,
congratulations to the winners of the November 5th general election. Um, leaf bags are still available here at the municipal complex and happy Thanksgiving. Have a happy and blessed uh, Thanksgiving day. Thank you.
>> Thank you, Mayor. Uh, Councilman Okamando, >> I'm good. >> Okay. >> No, I'm good right now. >> All right. Thank you. Uh, Councilwoman Maser. >> Yeah. Thank you, Council President. At this time, I just want to uh extend my condolences to the um Gear family and
also the Galba family, the passing. Um, my sincere heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family. And, um, that's it right now. >> Thank you. Uh, Councilwoman Sanchez. >> Um, okay. So through the green team and the flood committee, the township
applied for a New Jersey D grant called uh Resilient New Jersey. Um like the mayor stated, the high school band played at the veteran ceremony on Tuesday and I just also wanted to add that they really did do a lovely job. Um
I wanted to also thank all the veterans for their service and um my condolences as well to the Gear family. Thank you, Councilman Simaluca. >> I echo everyone's sentiments here about
Walter Gear. I called him Wally all the time. Uh he's a good man. He was a gentle man. Uh I really uh loved being in this company and uh you know he was just a people person. So he will be sorely missed. I I was at his house to
do some legal work for him and uh you know couldn't get out of bed. Uh, but you know, he he still had a smile on his face and was uh was was always always pleasant. Uh, and when I think of Walter, I think of the VFW. When I think of VFW, obviously you think of veterans.
Uh, we were all at the ceremony on Tuesday, uh, 11:11 at 11:00 a.m., which originally was armistice, the end of World War I. Um, changed to Veterans Day, I forget, a number of years later.
Um the high school band did a great job. It was something new. Uh it was the first year without Lou Verilli, so we thank him in the past uh for all his services in the past. And thank you to all veterans currently serving, those who have served and those who lost their
life uh during their service. Thank you. >> Thank you, Councilman. Uh my uh sincere condolences to the Gear family and uh on the passing of Walter. Uh in addition, I'd like to congratulate uh Captain Doug Haberman on the announcement of his
retirement. Um and I just want to wish everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. Thank you. On the agenda this evening, we have ordinance 1793-25 for a final reading.
>> Motion for a second reading. >> Motion. >> Second. >> Uh, all in favor? >> I. Uh, motion. >> Oh, sorry. An ordinance of the township of Santa Brook County of Bergen, state of New Jersey, adopting the
redevelopment plan amendment for 93-95 Market Street. >> Okay. Motion to open a meeting to the public for this uh ordinance. >> Excuse me. Through through the chair, there have been some revisions that I'd like to uh make sure the uh public and the committee are aware of. They're pretty much clarifications.
Uh so the planning board as was required did review the plan and issued a letter uh dated October 22nd stating that the uh plan was consistent with the master plan and also made a recommendation about removing a uh a section regarding
uh signage uh dealing with uh commercial tenants. So that revision, the letter has been made part of the redevelopment plan and that revision and removing the commercial signs from the redevelopment plan has also been uh been completed by
the uh township planner. Also, section C number 13 clarifies that one of uh the units will be a residential/leasasing
office for the building superintendent uh so exclusively for the superintendent's use who may be on site 24/7 to address all issues of uh any of the tenants that may reside there. Uh
the maximum number of units is 60 and again the uh additional unit office for the building superintendent. Uh the height of the uh building is not
to exceed uh 40 ft. However, the public should be aware that the plan that or the rendering of the plan that is possibly going to go forward has a height of approximately 28 ft at one end of the building and going up to
approximately 38 feet. So although the redevelopment plan uh states not not over 40 ft, the proposed possible development of the site would not reach that height. Uh the elevation plan will
be attached as appendix H. The table of contents have been updated to reflect the new appendix. And the last revision is just to include uh an update of the cover page stating the report date of October 9th, 2025 and
the approval date of the planning board of October 22nd, 2025. And if this is approved tonight, it would state the ordinance number that was adopted by the governing body. Those are the revisions. Again, all of which
are pretty uh much clarifications, none of them deemed uh significant or a change from the plan that was proposed on the introduction. Thank you. Um motion to open the meeting to the public. >> Motion. >> Second.
>> All in favor? >> I. Anyone wishing to address the council on this ordinance, please step up to the mic and state your name and address for the record. Timothy Stuntton 35 Harris Nav. >> I just have a few questions about the
building on Market Street. I was at the planning board meeting last month and there had to be 10 to 12 people from the development company there and they were going back and forth about the height of the building.
So the mayor asked the developers what the height of the building would be and nobody would respond to the question. So that's one of my concerns. what is the height of the building and it two at the planning board meeting
there was an amendment taken to reduce the number of units from 60 units to 40 units I want to know are we going for 60 units are we going for 40 units three
when all this is taking place whenever this gets passed Where where are the police department, the people that work there, their private cars going to be parking? And once this goes
under construction, if it does, where are all these people going to park their vehicles when you have 40, 50 people working over there every day? I'm going to ask for
resident parking only on Harrison A. I think every resident should be given a sticker and you should be in their cars. If you're not a resident of Harrison A, you shouldn't be allowed to park on that street. Thank you.
Thank you very much. Anyone else wish to address the council on this ordinance? Uh Muhammad Hannify 32 Harrison A. I just had a quick question before I give any comments. Are we going to look at what's proposed? Can we give comments
after we look or because I just don't want to repeat myself both cases. >> Well, we're voting on to amend the plan tonight. >> Yes. >> I mean, you could take a look. You're going to have we we're not approving any anything tonight. >> So, you're gonna have plenty of time to
look at that and ask any questions when we decide to approve approve of someone. >> Understood. Um I I think for for the people that have seen me here a few times already. We discuss the same thing over and over. Um I'm not going to get to the weeds of
things until we see the design. Uh I am directly behind the proposed property. I just want to hear if possible if anyone in the board is okay with seeing this in their backyard. Can anyone say I'm fine with this being built in their yard?
Can anyone say just okay from anyone that's here? Okay. Thank you. Anyone else wish to address the council on this ordinance?
Okay. Seeing no one else. Motion to close. >> Motion. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I have to go back. >> So through the chair, do do you our planet is here? He could probably answer
the question as to again the uh height. >> Okay. We we have some questions in regards to the to the height of the project potential project. >> You need to swear me in or uh anything. >> No. Okay. Uh Dan Block with Colors
Engineering for the Record. So the the maximum and and the difficulty with this site is because the topography changes so significantly from one end to the other. Um but the the understanding is that the height will be a maximum of uh
38 ft on one end, 27 ft on the other end. Um even though the ordinance allows up to 40 ft just to give a little bit of flexibility when they do come in and actually design the site because they're really just looking at concepts at this point. Um but the the height would not exceed that. That's that's our
understanding and and they wouldn't be allowed to exceed the 40t um when they come to the planning board for that. Could you also address the the concern about the uh from the first person who got up prior to the ordinance dealing with the parking whether or not the plan
requires sufficient parking or a potential development of 60 units? >> Yes, the the plan does provide enough parking based on uh industry standards to accommodate all the parking on site. >> And the plan also includes uh and it's
all underground parking. Correct. >> Correct. And the plan also includes 40 underground parking spaces dedicated to the township for use by the police department. >> Correct. >> Uh I think the other question is for the
township whether you would consider uh resident parking for Harrison Street residents. I don't know if you're prepared to answer that tonight. Uh I stated at an earlier meeting that we are um willing to do that if there if a problem arises with the parking there
and people are parking from that location onto Harrison, we would then issue decals to all the cars there on Harrison if need be. And then in terms of uh the staging uh where the people who are going to be working on the
project, uh yes, they're going to have to figure out where those vehicles are going to park. And it won't be on Harrison Street. Uh >> probably here at the municipal parking lot, perhaps >> or VFW >> or the VFW. So they they that will have to be worked out, but it typically is,
but it will not it will not uh impact based upon what the governing body is stating, it will not impact Harrison Street because they won't be allowed to park there. >> I think that was >> Yeah, >> I think that was all the questions and comments.
>> Yes. >> Right. >> Y I think so. Again, just for the audience, Mr. Scatino, can you just go over what exactly the voting is for
tonight? It's not to approve that. >> No, tonight you're approving is it's called a redevelopment plan, but it really is an ordinance for the location of where the old municipal building is. Uh it's not approving any specific
project. a developer would then have to go and submit an application to the planning board. Uh it cannot exceed this the uh 60 units. It could be less. That's up to the developer and the type of project
whether it's going to be for senior citizens or I mean 55 and over I shouldn't say senior citizens. Uh that will be up to whatever developer comes forward and submits an application to the uh planning board. The planning board meeting will be advertised.
Residents will be allowed to attend that meeting. And at that planning board meeting, they will have to produce someone to address the drainage on the site, the traffic in the area, uh lighting, all the issues that or questions that have been raised in the
past will all have to be presented to the planning board by expert testimony. and the board will have its own experts reviewing the testimony provided by whatever applicant appears before the board and through the chair. Not to scare the
crap out of the gentleman from the developer in the front row over there, but um should someone come in tomorrow and say, "I want to build a onelevel whatever medical building that's going
to, you know, we're going to have 20 uh 20 different office suites there and that's what we want to build and we're going to pay you $15 million to build it there." We still have that right to do that. This is still open. >> Well, yes. And but you would then have
to amend what you're approving tonight because the redevelopment plan that you're approving tonight only allows for residential use at that site. But but if someone came forward, as you said, >> you would then have the ability to say, "Wait a minute, let's amend this redevelopment plan to allow for offices
or a building that's 55 and over, whatever the case may be." And just to clarify, when people say um you're building the the town is not building anything. The town has a
property and it's just saying that this property is in need of redevelopment and is asking people to come in and make make offers to do the redevelopment. It's not that the town is
building this. It's not a town project. um town owns the property and the town is just indicated that that property is potentially for sale and potentially for for development. Am I wrong or >> No, that that's exactly what was done
and as you know the town advertised first for a mixeduse building. there was no interest. And uh then as a result of developers who inquired with the town that they were only interested in a residential development, but if the town
insisted they would do limited retail space on the first floor, but that would increase the height of the building and will also in further exacerbate the uh parking and uh traffic. So, the township decided only to uh have a residential
building located at the site and uh that's that's where you are and that's what led to tonight. And all the other developers who approached the municipality all wanted over 100 units. In one case, somebody proposed 140 units
and the township informed the developers that was a non-starter and don't even come and present. And uh I'm not sure if this could be directed to either Pete or Jimmy to know, but when when did we start the
advertising project? When do we let people know that this is out there and please give us your ideas? >> About how long ago? >> March. >> Yeah, it was early in the year. >> That was the first at least six months. Right.
>> Thank you. Okay. Uh may I have a motion to amend Motion roll call. >> Roll call. >> Councilman Simaluca. >> To amend. >> Two men. >> Councilman Alamando.
>> Yes. >> Councilwoman Sanchez. >> Yes. >> Counciloman Mer. >> Yes. >> Council President Garrett. >> Yes. >> You have something to say. >> Well, I'll say that when we're finished with this ordinance. >> Okay. That's right. Okay. >> Be resolved by the township council of the township of Saddlebrook that the
ordinance entitled Ordinance of the Township of Saddlebrook, County of Bergen, State of New Jersey, adopting the redevelopment plan amendment for 9395 Marcus Street as amended does now pass on second and final reading and that the township clerk be directed to

>> Uh, roll call. >> Councilman Simaluca. >> Yes. >> Councilman Alamando. >> Yes. >> Councilwoman Sanchez. >> Yes. >> Counciloman Mer. >> Yes. >> Council President Garrick. >> Yes. Can I see something? >> Sure.
>> The um the gentleman that came up before asking the question if we would want that uh in our yards. I got to be honest with you, I can't answer that question because and I'm I'm I answer honestly. I I will never be in your situation, your
position. So, I don't want to sit here and say yes for the naysayers and no for the nosayers. I want to be honest. I wouldn't be in your position if if at the stage of my life if I was put in this situation like this.
I don't have a mortgage. I would sell. And I'm being honest. You asked for honest opinion. I can't answer you honestly if I want this in front of my house. If I just moved here and I had an opportunity I had kids growing up and this was going to be in front of my house. Would I fight it? 100% I would
fight it. But I can't answer you honestly and I apologize for that. >> I appreciate it. I know. right now. It's just really sucks. >> I appreciate your concern.
>> Thank you, Councilman. Uh, old business. Anyone? Kenny, new business. M chair. Uh we have a resolution approving escrow funding agreement with the manner at Saddlebrook LLC. New business.

>> Yes. Uh motion to open the meeting to the public for agenda items only. >> Motion second. >> All in favor? >> I the meeting is now open to the public for agenda items. >> Steve Maranda 24 Harrison. I just had a
quick question about is it expected that the planning board meeting on Monday like next Monday will have one of these people or will it be like the following month? I think it's going to be a while. I wouldn't think it's going to be this year. >> Oh, you don't even think this year
they're going to show up with a with a proposal? >> No. >> Okay. I just wanted to confirm. Thank you. >> Thank you. Anyone else wish to address the council? No one else. Motion to close meeting to the public. >> Motion.
>> All in favor? I. >> Uh final comments. Does anyone have any final comments? Yes. Um al although it might seem that there wasn't anything
uh done that you're just I excuse my language pissing in the wind on this. You're not. We we heard what you said uh as you most of you came here for the original developer who came in who wanted the same number of units um as as
this developer and that seems to be the lowest number that they'll go um because certainly if a de developer came in with a unit that was um more compact,
less height, more open space. I'm sure the town would have given that consideration and I for one probably would have gone for that. I mean, it's just like you said, I
I I asked some questions. I I I knew the answers to them, but for people that don't know the answer, this has been going on for six months. A lot of people say, you know, you pulled the pulled the wool over our eyes. This came out of nowhere. Well, we've been doing this for six months. Uh, and I think everyone who
has lived in town for a while knows that as soon as we built this building that something was going to happen over there. It's just a matter of of when and what. I know that whenever there's development, there is always opposition.
I remember when Veterans Field was built, people on Steinway and the people on uh field Samson Street, the uh the town houses on Samson Street were very opposed to that because
I guess they got used to having a DPW facility there and they'd rather have that. Um, now the people on Steinway, a lot of them have their uh in their backyards, they they sit out there and watch the football games and, you know, almost like tailgate down there. So, I'm
not saying that this is a great thing for the people on Harrison. Obviously, it's not. And answer to that question, no. I wouldn't want that in my backyard. No, I mean I don't I I don't know who would say that that they would, but
something is going to be there. Right now, this is this is the best thing. And I know those guy might have scared those guys off, but no one else has come in. Um so we're stuck with what we're stuck with. Um we have to do something. And as
we've said a number of times, the fear is that a developer seeing open space can go and do with all this Mount Laurel. It used to be called Mount Laurel, this affordable housing come in and say, "Okay, you know, I want a
builder's remedy." And now we're not in control of pretty much anything. They put up a lot more. You know, you you'll not offend my friends from Garfield, but you'll be Garfield. you know, you'll have 150 and the people that wanted the
140 units are the people that are developing most of Garfield and they came in and wanted to make Saddle Brook Garfield. And again, no offense to the people in Garfield watching, but Saddlebrook should be Saddlebrook. Um, we're kind of
I say stuck, but this is the best alternative of the of the ones that have been proposed. and I I feel for you and we will do everything in our power now and in the future to make it as
comfortable for you as possible. If that means to give you um parking, you're limited to you. Remember, you know, when you have guests over and they don't have a parking pass, don't be ticked off when you get a a ticket. We can work that out. That's,
you know, other people you call in. We'll work out a system, but we're going to do everything that we can to make this as palatable as possible for the people that are the most effective. You have our word for it. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Councilman.
Anyone else? Final comments. >> Okay. I do like the idea of 55 and older, but to get 70 60 homeowners from Saddle Brook in Air, it's not realistic. I do like the 55 and older comment. That
was good idea. I don't think that was even brought up yet. >> Well, it's permitted. >> Valer came forward. That's permitted in the plan. It's a residential unit. So, it's allows for residential units. >> Thank you. A motion to adjourn the meeting this evening.
>> Motion. Second. >> All in favor? Hi. >> Hi. Thank you everyone. Have a good evening. >> Thanksgiving. >> Happy Thanksgiving. >> That was >> Yeah.
