READING:  Open to Public Meeting Announcement                     MAYOR BALUNIS:  Okay.  This is a regular meeting of the Wanaque Borough Planning Board and ade­quate notice has been given, and has been duly adver­tised by the placement of a notice in the Trends and the Herald News, mailed on January 21, 2005 and notice thereof has been posted on the bulletin board in the Municipal Building in the Borough of Wanaque, and a copy thereof has been on file with the Borough Clerk.  Min­utes from last meeting, any changes to that.  Can I have a motion to approve the minutes of the last meeting.

Roll call.

MS. MAROTTA:  Eugene, did you abstain, also?

MR. VERBA:  Yes.  That was the October 20th meeting?

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Yea.  Okay, engineer’s report.

APPLICATION STATUS REPORT:

MR. CRISTALDI:  The only applications I have are what’s on the agenda tonight, nothing new.

MR. VELTRI:  The one thing I’d like to add with the application status.  We did receive a letter from Dolan & Dolan dated November 23rd, 2005, it’s on the RSK Development.  They are seeking an extension from their final site plan approval, they’re seeking a one year extension.  It’s not tonight’s agenda, but I did speak to the counsel prior to tonight’s meeting, and we’d like to add it to January agenda when we have a new board, and I would recommend that we toll the time frame, so that there’s no discussion in January that he did not apply prior to December 18, 2003 approval date.  And there should really not be, because he did ask for it in November.  So, with that perhaps Gerry can add that to our January agenda, and we could hear it at that time.

COMMUNICATIONS REPORT:  No questions asked.


MAYOR BALUNIS:  Okay, I skipped over communi­cations.  Is there any other -- is there any communica­tions that we’re asked questions about?  Okay.

APPLICATION #22-05 Wanaque Valley Regional Sewer Authority.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Okay, application 22-5, Wanaque Valley Regional Sewer Authority.

MR. BRINDISI:  I just have to comment that I have a conflict, I sit on the Wanaque Valley Regional Sewer Authority, so I have to step down.


MR. ERD:  Good evening.  Christopher Erd, from the firm of Williams, Caliri, Miller & Otley representing the Wanaque Valley Regional Sewer Author­ity.  We’re here tonight for a minor subdivision, which basically the plan is to relocate legally the road that has recently been reconstructed, the new access road to the plant.  Previously, the road had gone through property that is owned by Polti Communities where they’re building the Wanaque Reserve.  It was actually a long flag lot, and there was an error during the site plan application that everyone had assumed that it was an easement, and, in fact, it was not, it’s a fee owner­ship interest.  So, what we’re doing now or we’re plan­ning on doing is exchanging ownership of that old access road for the new access road, which has already been constructed as it was approved by this Board.  I have with me the surveyor who prepared - excuse me - the plans, the (inaudible) testify as to specifically what we’re planning on doing.  And at this time I’d like to have Mr. Richardson identify himself, and briefly go over the plans.

MR. RICHARDSON, SWORN

MR. RICHARDSON:  I do.

MR. VELTRI:  Thank you.

MR. ERD:  And if I may just before we proceed, I just want to make sure we have enough voting members here tonight.  What was it five?

MR. VELTRI:  We do.

MR. ERD:  Thanks.  Okay, Mr. Richardson, if you could just give the Board a brief overview of your qualifications before you testify.


MR. RICHARDSON:  I’m a licensed land surveyor in the State of New Jersey and Connecticut 32 years.  I have been with Boswell Engineering most of that 32 years, and numerous minor subdivisions etcetera.

MR. ERD:  I would move that Mr. Richardson be accepted as an expert land surveyor for purposes of this application.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  All right, we recognize your qualifications.

MR. ERD:  Thank you.  And, Mr. Richardson, if you could just briefly describe.

MR. RICHARDSON:  What we’re planning to do here is really set the legal geometry for the new road­way to the plant, which has already been constructed, which would be taken out of the Polti track.  The origi­nal right of way or actually the access to the plant would then be given to Polti.  It’s more of a land swap then a subdivision actually.

MR. ERD:  It is a land swap, there’s no money being exchanged.  It’s just a straight swap for the old roadway ownership for the new roadway ownership.  That’s basically all we’re here for.

MR. CRISTALDI:  This was on the plan when Polti came here with their site plan.  This was the intention even when we heard that application for a new access to be constructed to the treatment plant.


MR. ERD:  And we currently have in place in the interim once the error was discovered, we exchanged easements that are currently being used, and those will be terminated if this subdivision is granted cause the fee ownership will be exchanged.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  So, we’re just swapping a new road for the old road.

MR. ERD:  Basically that’s what we’re doing.  And there’s a small piece about 2 acres that’s going to be attached to the existing lot 8, which is where the sewer plant is located.  The purpose of that is for an additional buffer from the new development, and for a potential expansion of the plant for the future.

MR. VELTRI:  Chris, one of the things I want to get straight when we do the resolution.  Do we know how many square feet the lots are now, and how many they will be after the subdivision?

MR. ERD:  I think I have that, that was on the application, if I recall.  Is it on the plan anywhere, I don’t remember?

MR. RICHARDSON:  We have 1, 6, and 8 at 440 acres.  Obviously, because it goes along the river, I can’t come up with a positive number.  And then it’s the 15.47 for the length plus the 2.4 and the 1.75.

MR. VELTRI:  And could you give me just raw numbers on that after you do the math, so that we get the resolution right?


MR. ERD:  Can we send that to you after-

wards, --

MR. VELTRI:  Sure.

MR. ERD:  -- we won’t to do the calculations now.

MR. VELTRI:  Usually when we do subdivisions we say this lot is X square feet, and it’s going to increase whatever it’s going to increase.

MR. ERD:  That’s fine.  That’s an easy enough calculation for Mr. Richardson I’m sure.

MR. RICHARDSON:  It’s just an addition.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Did you do a report on this?

MR. CRISTALDI:  I didn’t do a written report, because most of this was -- this is what was on Polti’s plan originally to swap these two roads.  The road is already in, it’s been constructed as part of Polti’s project.  I believe they’re even using it.  So, at some point they had to formalize this whole agreement, and this is what we have here now.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Yea, I think they’re already using it.

MR. CRISTALDI:  They are, yea.

MR. ERD:  Yes.

MR. SLATER:  I rode on it this morning just so I could see what it was.


MR. ERD:  And there’s one other thing I wanted to clarify on the plan, just so there’s no confu­sion.  The part where it says to be dedicated to the Borough of Wanaque, that’s just for informational purposes only.  That’s an agreement that’s been in the works for a while, and once this is done we can really clarify the exact meets and bounds description of what’s going to be dedicated to the township.  It’s from I believe there’s a PSE&G or some utility right of way there on Highland Avenue.

MR. CRISTALDI:  It’s a railroad right of way.

MR. ERD:  Yea.

MR. CRISTALDI:  The old railroad right of way.

MR. ERD:  Yea.  Right, the old railroad right of way, that’s what it is.  Up to where the -- the new gate is going to be placed for the Polti development.  The plan is it in the future after this approval hope­fully goes through to dedicate that section to the township.  So, all the way from Ringwood Avenue up to the Polti gate would be public roadway.


MR. MC NAMARA:  Chris, can I -- excuse me Robert McNamara (phonetic), I’m with Polti Homes.  That lower portion of Highland Avenue that’s already been dedicated to the Borough.  It was done well over a year ago I think.  From the area of where the new access road begins down to I don’t know the exact point, but there has already been a --

MR. ERD:  I’m not sure that’s correct, cause I think that that’s actually owned by the Sewer Authority.

MR. MC NAMARA:  Is that?

MR. ERD:  Yea.

MR. MC NAMARA:  That’s interesting.

MR. CRISTALDI:  Yea, the Borough only owned up to the end of that one lot.

MR. ERD:  Right.

MR. CRISTALDI:  From thereon in, right.

MR. ERD:  From thereon in was part of the whole flat lot access to the sewer plant.  So, you know, if something was done we’ll have to double check it, but it’s my understanding that that part is still owned by the Sewer Authority.

MR. MC NAMARA:  Okay.  You and I should talk afterwards.

MR. ERD:  That’s fine.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Do you have anymore witnesses or testimony?

MR. ERD:  No.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Okay.


MR. SLATER:  The entrance to Polti is going to be somewhere in where it says see detail C, somewhere in that area?

MR. ERD:  No, it’s going to be -- Mr. Richardson can explain.

MR. RICHARDSON:  This is the straight.  In other words, you had to make the right turn,

MR. SLATER:  Oh, okay, they’re going --

MR. RICHARDSON:  -- this would just be just the extensions straight through.

MR. SLATER:  Okay.

MR. ERD:  See the straight line is across.

MR. SLATER:  Okay.  I see, okay.

MR. ERD:  That’s where the approximate --

MR. VERBA:  They have it blocked off now.

MR. SLATER:  Okay.

MR. VERBA:  It’s blocked off.

MR. RICHARDSON:  I think the island is in, but there’s several, the guardhouse has to go in, there’s going to be a circle.  They’re still using the loop around.

MR. SLATER:  The only access right now is in the new construction.

MR. ERD:  Right.

MR. VELTRI:  Could you just clarify again this 2.4 acres, what’s happening with that?


MR. ERD:  Well, it’s being transferred from Polti who owns it now, to the sewer authority.  Nothing is planned to be done with it at this time.  The purpose of it is to create a little bit more of a buffer from the Polti development, and also for potential future expansion of the plant.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  So, that’s like a piece of property between the sewer plant and the buildings?

MR. ERD:  Yes, there’s buildings over here.

MR. RICHARDSON:  To the north maybe, but what it is it’s a strip 200 feet wide that runs on a -- well, you see it’s sort of a trapezoidal course parallel with the existing line.  Yea, you know better what the intent is.

MR. ERD:  Yea.

MR. VELTRI:  So, that’s going from tax lot 8.01 to what?

MR. ERD:  It’s going from 8.01 and 1, cause do you see the little point of it there.

MR. VELTRI:  Yea.

MR. ERD:  The point of it is actually in lot 1.

MR. RICHARDS:  That dash line going through that small portion.

MR. VELTRI:  Okay.

MR. ERD:  The rest of it is in lot 8.01.


MR. VELTRI:  Right, okay, and it’s going to what lot, to lot 8?

MR. ERD:  To lot 8.

MR. VELTRI:  Okay.  And your going to have the meets and bounds for that.

MR. ERD:  Yea, we have that already as part of the easements --

MR. VELTRI:  The easement.

MR. ERD:  -- that we have in place, and that’s what we intend to use as the same meets and bounds description for the fee exchange.

MR. VELTRI:  Okay.

MR. RICHARDSON:  Which is actually based on the details that you see to the right are actually the meets and bounds of those pieces.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Okay, want to open this appli­cation up to the public.  Anyone from the public wish to comment, have a question?  No.  Okay, close the public hearing.

Can I get a motion to approve?  Bill.  Second.

MR. VERBA:  I’ll second it.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Gene.

MR. VELTRI:  Mike, any comments or conditions?


MR. CRISTALDI:  No, pretty much what it was, that’s why there really wasn’t much to report on.  When I checked it against the plans, it was what was always planned to be done and had to be done at some point.

MR. VELTRI:  We’re not dealing with county road or anything of that nature, are we?

MR. CRISTALDI:  The county had some comments actually.

MR. ERD:  Well, there is a county application that we had to make, because a small piece of this enormous lot touches Ringwood Avenue, which is a county road.  So, they had a few comments, which we’ve ad­dressed, and obviously any approvals that you grant here would be subject to the county’s final approval.

MR. VELTRI:  They’ll make it a condition subject to and contingent upon county plan.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Roll call.

MOTION TO APPROVE APPLICATION: made by Member Rucci, seconded by Member Verba, voting yes were Members Platt, Slater, Verba, Mayor Balunis, and Rucci.

MR. ERD:  Thank you very much.  Good luck to everyone getting home tonight, drive safety, thank you very much.  Good night.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Do we -- open public discus­sions for general comments.

MR. DESHANE:  We all got letters to come to this here meeting, what is this meeting about?


MR. VELTRI:  This is a Planning Board meeting.

MR. DESHANE:  Well, they send these letters to everybody in the ten commandments that are in ten houses on Highland Avenue, but what is it for the Sewer Plant?

MR. VELTRI:  We just heard that application sir, that was a minor subdivision, and we just granted that.  That’s why we opened the public hearing and asked if anyone had any comments, and no one stepped up.  So, it was a minor subdivision between Polti and the Sewer Authority.  And very simply they’re swapping roadways, and Polti is also giving the Sewer Authority 2.4 acres of property.  So, that’s what was all about.

MR. DESHANE:  Big deal.  Behind the ten com­mandments there were I live, you’ve Highland Avenue, and them ten houses there.  We want a road built behind them houses there.  Is he going to do that or is the Borough going to do that?

UNIDENTIFIED MEMBER:  That’s not his property.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  You mean the road behind this (inaudible).

MR. DESHANE:  Yea, behind the ten houses.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  From I understand we’re wait­ing for the State approval.  Polti was going to pave behind those house there, we’re waiting for the ap­proval.


MR. DESHANE:  He is going to pave behind there?

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Well, we’re waiting for the approval from the State.  Cause it’s in the Highlands area, we have to get the approval from the State.

MR. VELTRI:  Sir, there’s also a representa­tive from Polti in the back of the room.  So, if you’d like to discuss that with him, I’m sure he can answer your question.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Mike, do you know if they got that?

MR. CRISTALDI:  I don’t know if they got that yet.  I know that they were going to.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  But The reason why you were sent the letter is because your within so may feet of the appli­cation, so they had to notify you by law.  But, you know, the road they built, Highland Ave. the road they built, that’s for the Sewer Authority now.


MR. DESHANE:  I named that road there Highland Avenue in 1932, back to the mountain, and Warren Haxtrom (phonetic) was my beset friend.  Before he died I said we should name the road not Highland Avenue, the road where all them condos are, that runs from the sewer plant up to that other road.  And road behind the ten houses there is supposed to be named for me Deshane (phonetic) Drive.  I put that road in 75 years.  Who is the mayor now in town?

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Actually that road behind those houses is a private road, that’s not a town road though.

MR. DESHANE:  We’re going to change it to a town road, yes, or I’m going to run for mayor next year.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  We’re going to be changing Highland Ave. to Warren Haxtrom Boulevard next year.

MR. DESHANE:  No.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Yea we are.

MR. DESHANE:  Warren before he died I said it’ll be a good idea to name them back there from the sewer plant going up to Colfax (phonetic) Avenue, that road Haxtrom, and leave Highland Avenue alone, and he said good.  And the road behind the ten commandments my family the oldest family in town.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Well, the road behind the ten commandments that’s another story.  But Highland Ave. the council has voted to change to Warren Haxtrom Boule­vard.


MR. DESHANE:  I don’t know.  What are they going to name the road?  Then Highland Avenue runs right straight to the mountain, what are they going to name that other road from the sewer plant up to what is it Grove Street.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Well, that’s going to be the sewer -- the one that goes to the sewer plant?

UNIDENTIFIED MEMBER:  It’s Polti’s private property.

MR. DESHANE:  That’s a road where all them buildings are there.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Yea.  Well, that’s Polti’s property there.

MR. DESHANE;  Well, that should be named Haxtrom Drive.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Well the road -- Highland Ave. is the town’s road, and that’s going to be renamed Warren Haxtrom Boulevard.

MR. DESHANE:  That’s what I’m telling you, we shouldn’t change that.  It’s the oldest road in town.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Well, that’s --

MR. VELTRI:  It’s not our decision.

MR. DESHANE:  And Warren didn’t want it, he wanted the road like I said.  He was always with me, I was his best friend.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Well, that’s what the coun­cil’s doing to honor Warren Haxtrom, we’re changing Highland Ave. to Warren Haxtrom Boulevard.  We’re doing that for Warren.


MR. DESHANE:  I don’t know.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Well, you can come to the council meeting, and, you know, next council meeting and comment on it.  Mrs. Haxtrom was very happy we’re doing that.

MR. DESHANE:  We’re going to have a different mayor in January, ain’t we?

MAYOR BALUNIS:  You have a different mayor now.

MR. DESHANE:  Tom.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  But you may have a different.

MR. DESHANE:  Whose Tom Balunis?

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Yea, that’s me, yea.

MS. MAROTTA:  This is the mayor.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  I’m acting mayor.

MR. DESHANE:  Yes.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Okay.

MR. DESHANE:  I know the mayor that I want.  We’re going to make some drastic changes.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Okay.

MR. DESHANE:  He’s getting away with murder Pol -- there all them condos over there.  And our sewer plant is big enough to hook into him or is he going to make the sewer plant bigger?

MAYOR BALUNIS:  No, that’s all taken care of.


MR. DESHANE:  And that’s another thing, the more people that hook into the sewer plant, the higher your bill goes.  How come?

MAYOR BALUNIS:  The bill hasn’t changed in --

MR. DESHANE  Over in Ramsey it’s $500.00 a year, and what is our sewer here?

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Hasn’t changed.

MR. DESHANE:  I’m relation to everybody in Wanaque Borough from the Redness (phonetic), the Jones, the Browns, the Jordans, the Della Penna (phonetic).  I have 800 relation, the Ciscos (phonetic), the Posts, and everybody.  And I don’t know, I think the Democrat -- I think I should run for mayor.  It’ll be like Porello Laguardia (phonetics), we’d have some drastic changes in town, yes.  But I know the guy in the Republican party that I want to be mayor.

Mr. PLATT:  It’s Acey.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  Okay, good night sir.  Okay.  Good night.

MS. MAROTTA:  That was a good laugh.

MR. PLATT:  He pissed caused you took all his hunting grounds away.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  His what?

MS. MAROTTA:  What’s his name?


MR. PLATT:  His hunting ground, used to shoot all the deer back there.

MS. MAROTTA:  What’s that guy’s name?  Kevin, what’s his name?

MR. PLATT:  Acey the first.

MS. MAROTTA:  Casey?

MAYOR BALUNIS  Ace.

MR. PLATT:  Acey.

MS. MAROTTA:  Acey.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  I don’t know, yea.

MS. MAROTTA:  What’s his last name?

MR. PLATT:  It’s Italian, D something.

UNIDENTIFIED MEMBER:  He Deshane or something.

MR. PLATT:  That’s what it is, Deshane.

MAYOR BALUNIS:  We were -- Polti was supposed to -- you know the road -- you know there’s a dirt road behind those ten commandment houses.

MR. SLATER:  Yea, it’s but it’s a (inaudible).


MAYOR BALUNIS:  But that’s not a town road, that’s just a dirt road.  But Warren asked Polti if they could pave that for those people, and they were going to do that.  But first we got to get approval from High­lands Commis­sion, because it’s in the Highlands and you just can’t go paving the road, you know.  I mean the Council voted to change Highland Ave. to Warren Haxtrom Boulevard, and, you know, Dolores is happy, everybody is happy, and I don’t know.

MR. BRINDISI:  Sounds like you guys didn’t check with the oldest living.

RESOLUTIONS:

MAYOR BALUNIS:  All right.  So, do we have any resolutions?
