that is uh on the um on the on the agenda here and then open for any public of any for any comment at the end so uh moving on we have no presentations uh we have no department head reports yet um we have uh no
Capital discussions correct um and we are going to vote on the minutes for the February 27 2025 regular meeting um and then we have five ordinance introductions first of which is
005 adopting uh the ventner professional campus Redevelopment plan commissioner langra do you want to add some comments in color to that yeah I see we have our have my notes here and I put them somewhere gotta find them back and this is in regard to the
veter professional campus on Venter and Troy and Troy Avenue yep almost the entire block yeah it goes all the way back parts of it goes all the way back to Winchester Avenue so um purpose of the Redevelopment plan is to revitalize an area that has gone kind of dormant um
significant site along bner Avenue acces just about 2.3 Acres um it's almost the entire city block the back corner portion that is not part of the development is the firehouse Firehouse one so that's that location um sit's currently two large twostory buildings
brick buildings the front the building in the front the old school is going to stay as part of this project uh the building on the back Cor at Troy and Winchester would be demolished as part of what is is moving forward with this project um created a prime opportunity for mixed use development both
residential and mixed use so commercial in the front building and residential in town homes behind it and I know we have Mr plaer here you have anything else you had to add to that I mean this process is the beginning what'll happen after this is it'll go to our planning board we'll direct our planning board to
review it to be consistent with our master plan um then it will come back to us with their recommendations of any changes um they do have concept plans that they will present to the planning board um of of what they think the project would look like so comparatively
speaking just on a square footage basis this is a mass massive space in the city of vent almost two acres correct 2.3 2.3 Acres compared to other so that's part of the reason I think that it needs this kind of focus is that there's so much of a uh an impact on the on that part of
the city but the concept that we've seen so far is that it started out with town homes around the outside and has more to more internal um preserves more of the exterior parking along both Troy and New Haven Avenue that was the last design that that we've seen and I think that's
what we're we're kind of hoping for um and you know that's kind of where we're at so yeah I would just say that that the idea to stimulate more I mean uh stimulate more residential growth in that area is I think a positive it's a way to increase the traffic and the
downtowns and and also to revitalize that area so agreed agreed Jack you have anything else on took all sorry sorry sorry yep okay good we will probably and I didn't even tell this to Nicole yet but I had a
conversation with Tom today we're looking to bring in Archer grinder they have some folks that really do the Redevelopment stuff and and assist I mean if you guys I'm I'm perfectly comfortable if you guys want to pla through it but you okay we'll we'll talk about that afterwards but I did have a
conversation with them this morning um and we can work through it if if you guys are you know it's not rocket science it's it's a great way to redevelop areas that have been sitting that that site has been dormant for quite some time yeah with very limited
activity in the front building and almost none in the back yeah yeah when we ran for office that was uh an empty basically an empty office building that had all virtually no activity in it so um um so now I guess the next step is that it goes to the planning board and the planning board will review some of
the plans that are in place will they have much impa input on that is that the time to have input on the multiple step process so and I'm probably stealing more of Jackson on explaining this so it goes to planning where their their first review of it is just compliance or
consistency with our master plan right um and then they will come back and report to us our our planner Jim Rella and the planning board will report back to us with a in a letter format saying yes it's consistent with your master plan or it's not right um and then we'll
take that from there then that creates the Redevelopment plan and then they go back design the entire site right to the te right everything design the whole thing submit that to the planning board the planning board instead of using our our normal land use
ordinances will use that Redevelopment plan to review it I see so Roger and the team will will review it through that and then we're kind of out of it after that except when they come back for the payment and loow so gotcha okay all right thanks Broad Strokes yes it is so
today's ordinance will be adopting uh the first step in adopting that introducing it introducing that plan the introduction of that um uh 006 is a uh amending chapter fees uh chapter 114 fees for land use uh
compliance do you have anything to add to that but I think it's just a kind of updating them for this year it is and it's consistent with our the next two three are the same kind of thing we're being consistent with our surrounding communities our fees were low right Tom did an analysis uh of what was our
surrounding communities and we were charging really low fees on them so understood we got to cover our our administrative costs yep everything kind of has that same U same uh level of of uh of increases so that counts for uh 007 which is in is chapter 114 fees for
merchant licing and and uh ordinance uh 008 which is uh housing standards um addresses seasonal certificates of occupancy yep and then that's actually not that's just changing it it's taking out remov certificates
and it's now under the mercanti license I see yeah they may they go together and when we were um drafting the ordinance for the first one there was notation to this seasonal certificates of occupancy and another portion of it which we no
longer have I see so we're taking that out to make sure that they all go into to the the mercant portion of it so that it's it's nice and clean understood they go together great I see now and then uh the last
20259 is um amending fees for the fishing pier my understanding is that um military and seniors has not changed but the other others have gone up somewhat incrementally for other fees yeah right yeah and that again goes to our
increased fees our increased costs increase cost that we're dealing with if I may one of the things that we're looking to do at the same time uh is to wave the uh fees for use of credit card or debit card for payment right so the
increase here is to help us to be able to take that burden off of the users and and pay those fees ourselves uh Amy was able to negotiate with the bank and get us a a good rate they'll Supply the card readers and uh so we can move forward
with that and people can stop complaining about being charged fees gotcha got it got card readers will be out at the pier inside and are portable so we can bring it back is what I'm saying in offseason because it's just it'll it'll last one year if we
leave it out there but there won't be a fee now that the public will be impacted by% that processing Fe yes great good all right any other questions on those uh introductions NOP then we have two
ordinance uh hearings and adoption this evening one is 003 that is um uh entitled claims for payment concerning purchasing procedures this is the uh hearing and Adoption of
increasing the amount of uh threshold that requires signatures so that it um along with increased fees is increasing Co increased costs that seem the more falls under that threshold then over that threshold that does not so this kind of regulates that correct save saves a little bit of
bureaucracy um and then uh Z and then 2025 d004 uh also uh amending fees this is a dumpster and portable storage utility units I think that's another one that um kind of normalized to other local and
adds a little more too it's not even just fees it allows um what do they call them the pods right so someone's working on their homeage we allow them to keep them originally was like three weeks some of these projects are a little bit more on their home so they need to keep them for a little bit longer so it
extends the time and allows up to three extensions I believe great on the property not in the street right so and so this is a this is a a response to a need yep all right thank you um item 12
uh we have number of resolutions for consent and I don't 202- 1116 through believe we are adding some yes on you can add resolution 124 and 125 From the Bench this evening so the final is [Music]

to uh come up to the mic state your name and address if you uh for the record and you have a uh you can be there's the mic right there if you'd like to come up you have three minutes of fame or infamy I'm callist good evening guys
ladies thanks for having me um we just ask you to state your name and address no it's okay bre mellow 607b North Victoria Avenue okay shopping center is in my yard I'm sorry I was here a couple years
ago we talked about when they were remodeling the shopping center and everything and we had some compromises you guys met us if way you know I was happy with that now I just have a couple of complaints that maybe you guys can help
me with the lights in the parking lot these LED lights shine right in my house I mean they are so bright they're it up they're not even facing my house they're kind of angled and up Shin's right in my
house my bedroom is in the back I got shutters and it comes through the shutters maybe they could tilt them down or put a shield on one side maybe to stop
that from from shining in so there is there is limitations on allowing light pollution to leave your property we have an ordinance with that so that's in your favor and what he say in your favor yeah no I understand what I can do is um I'll talk to Mark Greco the owner of the
plaza and say look we've had some complaints um it is bright I went by there you can see it from the main it's nice it does you're the one who lives there and you're seeing how bright it is yeah so we can certainly talk to Mark and see if there's something that he can do to angle them I thought it was odd
that they were angled up yeah very bright very bright because you know parking lots you want bright you want two foot candles to two and a half in the middle of a parking lot but not off property and if it's going off property he's in violation and we can talk to him about that well I'd
appreciate that but I I also have one more thing I want to speak about the street but but before we move on it'd be helpful if we had your address again just oh okay it's okay all right just because there's there's been other people that have complained about that
and they've taken care of it so may not have gotten to your address anyway sorry to interrupt it's a oneway street coming in right no it's a two-way street everybody comes out that way and and you know they there's a sign that says do
not enter but they go through it anyway they peek out and then they zoom and then they Zoom down to Wellington Avenue because if a car is coming the other way and I've seen where they've had it back out and let that car come
through maybe we can have some PD there's got to be you know with it getting busy in the summertime there's gonna be a lot more traffic coming in and out of that parking lot yeah I got grandchildren that come and spend the Summers they play in my yard I have
neighbors that have children they play in them yards man I'd hate to see one of them cars run like right through our fence you know it's crazy it's just I don't know if they any better signage
I think there were some stop signs that fell over in the recent storm and we did Circle back to to the owner with the police department so we are we are aware but them stop lights stop when they come in going into the parking lot yeah on
the other side of them stop signs or do not enter signs yeah two big do not enter signs right they come right through it yeah but thank you for bringing it up we we'll work through it with the uh the pizza the pizza place in the plot it well their delivery guy I
guess they go out the back was it is it them that's doing it well they're one of them do and because he comes all the way through from the other end and straight through and yeah I'm out there a lot unfortunately I I smoke so I'm always on
my deck in the back and I watch all this traffic and it's like I said I'm just thinking about summertime yeah how it's going to be well if it's their tenants doing it we I can have that conversation with Mark and ask him to put it back out there to those folks you can talk with people well that was just an example of
of I get it I get it if it's a known entity we can address that e more easily and they've been very helpful yeah very Cooperative about these kinds of things and usually take care of it within a day or a few days so we'll bring it up U we've had other complaints
on that I think it's getting used to that the property's new use you know it's it's a it's light the activity and the lights and the new the the traffic pattern it was always two ways before I already used it you know in the past no
no I've been I've been there over 30 years there wasn't a road there I mean there was Ro there was an entrance and an exit it was further up yeah it no no it was just an entrance it was just an entrance and there were signs that said do not enter okay and cause you to go out that way also not to go the other
way closer but I didn't care you know that's over there the roadway I think from the one gentleman's driveway is two-way out but not from the plaza the plaza is supposed to be one way in only right the one guy had his Drive I don't know if that's your house where the
driveway is on that road Victoria the Corner House has a driveway oh no no that's not my house that's why we had to keep that end of it wi no I understand TR guess what makes it easier for the trailers to track the trailers to make that turn in there I had no problem with that it was just we had to push so the
New Jersey Transit actually uh came to us and they wanted them to change and run the buses there and we said no that was part of his site plan approval that they couldn't do that so we actually we kept we held our ground with that so right well that was a good thing well that was a good thing I know
it was a couple things the last time I was here that we resolv but yep I'd appreciate if thanks for coming out yeah thanks for having me good see you Fred being a lot of activity out there much more pedestrian traffic as well yeah um whenever you're there how you doing Mr M
creble yeah Mr Griff um I'm Adam altina I'm the one that was emailing you yeah um with um Mr Greco your address and please for Adam altino 609b Victoria AV right my backyard literally faces that intersection right behind the house um I was the one talking about the signs
asking if there could be more signage um basically parlaying what Freddy said everything he's having an issue with essentially um I I addressed it with him and I believe my neighbor Brian who touches my house he's 60 um 609a I'm 609b I believe he was here at the last
meeting um but the lights they shine bright I believe that'd be a great resolution to point them down with the with the shields because prior to that they weren't pointed up they were pointed down and I think that could be an easy resolution just to point them down yeah both the ones that face us and the ones that face the shopping center
um you say something I'm sorry no um and just more signage and then like he says you see the one driver for I guess the pizza place but every couple minute you see a car going through that stop sign and the police are right there and never stop anybody that goes like that's where
they Park prior they usually stay outside over there and you see people going out and speeding like he does but you never see anybody get pulled over for making that wrong turn and like he said their speed they make that turn just try to beat the beat the cop but the cop ironically never pulls him over
I think if a cop would just be parked right there and just deter people from coming got Direction um but yeah I just had a son I know Brian he has a um young kid Enrique has a young doter and we all all our kids are going be playing in the backyard I just think that's a especially with the summer coming and um
that Park lot's going to get really busy and I just concerned about that something going in our back our house and the lights too obviously the lights I would like um Mr greo has always been a gentleman to me I appreciate he's always every time I ask him to do something he would help me but um I know
it's it's been like two weeks since I and it's like I just have my son and he sleeps in our room so my room's as bright as a candle um so it's very light in my room so I would just appreciate um just a little help and support in your end and I appreciate um everything you have done thank you bring up again to
the police department and to and Lance will follow just a question to Nicole title 49 can we verify that that we had Mark allow that to occur on his site title 49 gives our cops yes the ability to Rite tickets for those stop signs that are on the property right just want
to make sure we got our yeah ducks in a row we don't want to write a violation and not be able to do it so they don't have the Juris stop signs on private property they do not enter them if they're violating that so that's they don't have the jurisdiction on the private right so if it's that's what we want to make sure we have yep we can
check I think it's 49 right am I I believe so 4950 51 so we're just checking to make sure that we can write tickets we can get it done yeah I just think it would be a good terance if you had a cop there anyway just looking at them not going that way I would bet we do because it was a shopping center before which just to make sure to give the police the
right tools to solve the problem we'll follow thank you again for your time I appreciate everything thanks for coming out I'll talk to Mark about both of them he was away afternoon everybody how are you my
name is Enrique Vargas I live at 611a North Victoria Avenue and just backing up my neighbor same situation it's really really bright it wasn't a problem couple of weeks before and then all of a sudden it just got really really bright I have black shutters and black curtains
and it still Peaks through a little bit but you know if you guys can do a uh something about it that'll be great man thank you guys thank you thanks for coming in yeah I um so we appreciate your comments and we'll follow up and I know you have your email so you'll hear from
us either through email or at the meeting you're more than welcome to come out again you can see the the lights aren't blinding any yeah I mean the the cause and effect was that the existing lights were not were fail Ing and they replace them all so it's a part of the benefit of the rest of the parking lot being well lit for people when they're
going in those you know yeah so it's part of a where the learning curve there for the situation but thank you for coming in uh if there's no other comments uh any comments in the are you guys complete um if you have any com any comments in the
zoom anybody in Zoom wish to make any comment on any items nope being none I have a motion to close public comment for this evening so moved second roll call Lisa commissioner langra yes mayor creville
yes right uh just add a quick comment to the earlier discussion about the credit cards and debit cards and the fishing pier fees uh we're going to be waving the uh user fees in all department so the Construction office anybody using a
credit or debit card will not be charged the fees and the only place that we're going to be accepting cash will be in the Clark's office so the fishing pier there's no cash transactions if somebody there insists on using cash during the week they have to come to the clerk's
office okay all right I don't think you can actually charge user fees for debit cards well that one of the problems Lance was that the previous company we were using everything went through as a credit card They didn't accept debit payments so that that's why those fees
were being generated so this fixes that people can have the option of using credit or debit good okay thank you any other comments uh I believe we have an executive session this evening so we
have uh we do we have a brief executive session on the litigation okay that was filed yep so we'd be going into that just for a very brief update on the um carisbrook versus city of ventner um it would
