Susan Gallagher of 15 Quaker Street representing the CTAA was present to request permission to hold the baseball opening day ceremonies at the new sports complex in April and questioned whether the fields will be ready to use then. Mrs. Jamanow replied that, ideally, they should sit until the fall of next year for ideal turf growth, however, holding a ceremony would be fine as the parking areas and everything will be completed. Mrs. Gallagher continued that the CTAA is considering a parade from the open area along Bordentown-Crosswicks Road and looping around to Fenton Lane to the park. The Township Committee had no objections to that idea. Consent Agenda The minutes of September 9, 2009 as well as a blue light application for Justin Mills were approved on a motion by Mr. Kelly and second by Mr. Durr. All agreed.

Township Engineer Village Park Design – Mrs. Jamanow stated that she has been requested by CCH to perform additional tasks for the Village Park Design and has submitted a cost estimate of $11,500. for that work. Sports Complex – Mrs. Jamanow reported that the sports complex is near completion. All areas have been seeded and the contractor is working on the walking path and the parking lot areas and cleaning up the site. To be in compliance with the DEP permits issued for the site, a deed restriction needs to be filed with the County for the wetlands buffers. Mrs. Jamanow will work on that deed restriction
Liedtka Soil Removal Permits – someone from ERI inspected the sites and found everything to be in compliance. Resolutions renewing the permits are on the agenda for later in the meeting. Re-forestation by the Turnpike – the turnpike will be de-foresting approximately 28 acres in the Township for the turnpike widening. They will re-forest 2.6 acres and the Township is responsible for re-foresting the remaining 25.4 acres. There will be a grant agreement between the turnpike and the Township stating that there will be 204 trees planted per acre on Township land or open space areas; the turnpike will pay the Township $300. per tree. The Township will need to prepare the plan for submission to the turnpike and consider where they would like the trees to be planted. Mr. Kelly suggested the Vinch landfill area. Mrs. Jamanow is not sure that’s possible as it is private property. Hogback Road Speed Limit – Kyle and Nancy have had conversation concerning the recommended speed limit on Hogback Road in the area of the school. An ordinance amendment will be prepared for the next meeting. Stormwater Management – Mrs. Jamanow explained that, as part of the stormwater management requirements, the Municipal Officials must receive education on stormwater management in addition to other elements of the program which the Township has satisfied. Mrs. Jamanow proceeded to provide the required education to the Township Committee. Mr. Hlubik once again questioned the replacement of the dead trees in Old York Village and asked why they would be dying if they had been inspected by CCH prior to planting. Mrs. Jamanow replied that she did not believe that CCH had inspected all trees that were planted. That process did not start until Spring. Zoning Officer Glenn McMahon was present to inform the Committee that he has had a request from the Elementary School to place 2 or 3 pods at the existing school site to store furniture and educational materials in until moved to the new facility. Ellen McHenry, Superintendent of the School was present and stated that is no more storage space in the current building. They will be purchasing new equipment and furniture for the new school and teachers will be asked in the Spring to begin boxing up educational materials that they will not need until the end of the year but would like to take with them. Liz Garcia, Township Attorney stated that the School would need to apply to the Planning Board for a variance as pod are not allowed in any zone in the Township. Mr. Durr asked if the school has explored any other possibilities such as an off site storage facility. Ms. McHenry stated that they have not explored that option but the school does not have a vehicle to move the boxes and / or equipment to an off-site facility. Mr. Durr stated that the off-site option may be a better alternative to pursuing a variance. Glenn McMahon also reported to the Committee that there will be an evacuation drill of the Municipal Building on November 6 at 10:00 AM.
