Attorney Aikins said this is a very simple application.  It is a technical subdivision.  It is realigning the lines on the map.  This technical subdivision is for a Blue Cross/Blue Shield building. 

 

Chairman Braun said there is no change in the site plan.  Attorney Aikins said no development is being proposed. 

 

Attorney Aikins said the technical subdivision is being done for title and/or finances and contract purposes.  We are redrawing the lines on the map.

 

Douglas G. Batels, Engineer, gave his credentials which were accepted by the Board.

 

Mr. Batels explained the property is located on Block 913, Lots 25 & 35.  It is located at the northwest corner of Megill and Wyckoff Roads.  It is in the OR-10 zone.  It is approximately 35 acres.  Lot 25 contains 3.24 acres.  There is a one story schoolhouse on the property.  Lot 35 is 32.11 acres.  The building is presently under construction.  The new lots would be 25.01 and 35.01.  Lot 25.01 would be to the south and contain two acres.  Lot 35.01 would be to the north and contain 33.36 acres and this lot would house the Horizon building. 

 

The application was open to the public.

 

Edward Megill, 5322 Megill Road, was sworn.  Mr. Megill said he has a letter from a resident concerning this subdivision.  Attorney Rubino said it is inappropriate to read that letter.

 

Mr. Megill asked about the variances.  Attorney Rubino said there are no variances needed.  This just relocates the lot lines.  He also stated zoning laws do not apply to technical subdivisions.  The site plan has been approved.

 

Mr. Megill said it is all one parcel now and they are asking for a technical subdivision.  Attorney Rubino said they are creating a new lot for title purposes. 

 

Mr. Megill said there will be no ingress or egress from that two acre site.  Chairman Braun said the parcel must function as previously approved.

 

Mr. Megill asked if this has been before the Board for variances before.  Attorney Aikins said many years ago. 

 

Mr. Megill said there are several items that are not in compliance.  Attorney Aikins said this application is just to reconstruct the lot lines.  Chairman Braun said this is creating a technical line.

 

Mr. Megill said this could be sold on its own.  He also asked about parking spaces.  Attorney Rubino said there are 100’s of parking spaces.  They are part of the old tract.  The technical lines mean nothing.  You can park anywhere.  Attorney Rubino said a technical subdivision does not allow the applicant to change the site’s use, modify parking, construct new facilities or any other


September 29, 2003                                                                                        Page 3

 

things associated with a regular subdivision.  Attorney Rubino said even if someone bought one of the lots that owner would be bound by a site plan that treats the property as one large piece of land. 

 

Mr. Megill asked about additional building.  Attorney Aikins said he can’t say what will happen in the future but there are no plans now.  Chairman Braun said it would require a site plan approval.  If they want to do anything additional they have to come back before the Board. 

 

Mr. Megill asked about the historic school on site.  Attorney Aikins said there are no site improvements as far as the school is concerned.  Mr. Megill is concerned about future development of the school site.    

 

Mr. Megill said he also has concerns regarding the traffic on Megill Road and the historical site.  There is a schoolhouse on that site.  He has a letter from De Hearn, President of Old Wall Historical Society, regarding the school. 

 

Entered into evidence:

 

O-1      De Hearn letter

 

Attorney Rubino said the Board is not in any way changing the site plan.  Everything is the same.  There will be no changes.  We will just create a line for a technical subdivision. 

 

Chairman Braun said this application came before the Board as a pre-approved project.  It was approved in 1989 or so.  When it came before the Board it was downsized.  This has nothing to do with those approvals. 

 

Pat Smith, 5019 Megill Road, was sworn.  Ms. Smith asked when this was made a technical subdivision and not a subdivision with variances.  Attorney Aikins said that was the applicant’s decision around the time when the preliminary and final site plan was approved. 

 

Attorney Rubino said the applicant filed application for a technical subdivision according to the ordinances we have.  To be careful he asked for variances.  We have ruled even though non-conforming lots are being created variances are not needed because the overall lot remains the same.  Attorney Rubino read the ordinance explaining a technical subdivision.

 

Ms. Smith asked if Commercial Realty knew this was going to have to take place when signing the contract.  Attorney Aikins said many times it is subject to. 

 

Attorney Aikins said the applicant is in contract with Blue Cross/Blue Shield-Horizon.  Ms. Smith asked what if the Board turns this down.  They don’t get the financing.  Attorney Aikins said he cannot answer that but construction would continue. 

 

Attorney Rubino asked if there was going to be a transfer of ownership.  Attorney Aikins said there may be. 


September 29, 2003                                                                                        Page 4

 

Ms. Smith asked if there were any plans at this time to sell lot 35.  Attorney Aikins said no, not at this time.

 

Ms. Smith asked if this is granted would they be able to come back with a regular application.  Attorney Rubino said they would have some problems with frontage, width, parking, etc. 

 

Ms. Smith asked for the time limit for appeal.  Attorney Rubino said 45 days after the resolution is published.

 

Richard Durik, 5025 Megill Road, was sworn.  Mr. Durik said he lives across from the Hurley School.  He said if the school goes down he is objecting to this.  Mr. Durik said this change would have an adverse impact on his neighborhood.  He said he does not want to see any more construction.  Chairman Braun said you will be notified if there are any changes to that property. 

 

Mr. Durik said trees were taken down on Megill Road and Route 34.  The trees that were replanted are no where near the height of the trees that were taken down.  Across the street another 40’ length of trees were leveled.  Nothing was done.

 

De Hearn, Coral Way, President of the Old Wall Historical Society, was sworn.  Ms. Hearn said she just wants to back up the letter she wrote.  The school house has been there since 1912.  Attorney Rubino said if they touch that schoolhouse they have to come back here.

 

Rich Smith, 5019 Megill Road, was sworn.  Mr. Smith said he is afraid of this technical subdivision.  He is afraid the property will be sold.

 

Mr. Kuchta, 5107 Megill Road, was sworn.  Mr. Kuchta said he lives across from the school.  He said he is concerned that if the property is going to be split there is a reason for it.  There have been eight office buildings put up there.  He said he has difficulty getting out of his driveway.  He said they don’t need another office building.

 

Mike Barnick, 5113 Megill Road, was sworn.  Mr. Barnick asked if this subdivision makes the lot more valuable for sale.  Attorney Aikins said no.  Mr. Barnick asked if it makes it easier to sell.  Attorney Aikins said I can’t tell you.  Mr. Barnick said he thinks it does and he is objecting to it.  He said he doesn’t want the school property sold and he doesn’t want anything else on Megill Road.

 

Beverly Krott, 5302 Megill Road, was sworn.  Ms. Krott said Megill Road was full of potholes and it has just been paved.  We have a speedway and now we will have more cars.

 

The application was closed to the public.

 

Attorney Rubino said he just wants to make it clear that it this has to be done for one of two purposes.  One is for financing and one is for change of ownership.  He asked Attorney Aikins if this was for financing.  Attorney Aikins said under the lease signed we are under obligation to seek approval for this.  There may be some financing issues.

Chairman Braun said under ordinance no noticing needs to be provided because it does not have to do with variances.  This has been done many times.

 

The Board recessed at 8:45 P.M.

 

The meeting resumed at 8:50 P.M.

 

John Lishak, Jr. was sworn.  Mr. Lishak is the President and CEO of Commercial Realty. 

 

Attorney Aikins asked Mr. Lishak if he was in negotiations with Horizon.  Mr. Lishak said yes. 

Mr. Lishak said Horizon has the right to purchase the property. 

 

Attorney Aikins said based on the testimony provided tonight the applicant has met the requirements of the Wall Township ordinance relating to technical subdivisions. 

 

Chairman Braun said the Board was very clear as to the use of the school and driveway.  We are not changing the driveway.  No changes are being proposed.  Mr. Lishak said that is correct.  There are no changes in the site plan. 

 

Mr. Megill, previously sworn, asked the Board to give some strong consideration to the preservation of the schoolhouse.  Attorney Aikins said his client is not prepared to make any comments.  Chairman Braun asked the applicant to think about donating it to the township.

 

Ms. Wilson moved to approve the application for technical subdivision.  Deputy Mayor Thomson seconded the motion, which was approved by a roll call vote.  (Ms. Wilson, Messrs. Thomson, Brosnan, Farrell, Rible, Ms. Stacy and Mr. Braun voted yes.  Mr. Tobia voted no.) 

 

Mr. Tobia stated he is fundamentally opposed to technical subdivisions and for that reason he voted no. 

 

HOWELL PROPERTIES – PB#7-1998 – 3903 Herbertsville Road, Block 977, Lots 16 & 18.   Date application deemed complete: February 23, 1998.  Applicant seeks an extension of time.

 

Attorney Rubino reviewed the file and stated the Board had jurisdiction to proceed.

 

Ronald Shimanowitz, Esq. appeared for the applicant.

 

Entered into evidence:

 

A-1            Jurisdictional Items

A-2      Letter from New Jersey Turnpike Authority dated September 25, 2003

 

Attorney Rubino stated Howell Properties has gotten an extension for one year before.  They are asking for another one year extension.  The Board can grant an extension for two more years.  Attorney Shimanowitz can renotice and come back for a two year extension. 


September 29, 2003                                                                                        Page 6

 

Attorney Shimanowitz said the Board granted approval for this project some years ago.  The approval was for 175 lots – age-restricted.  Our request was for an extension to October 2, 2004.  During this pass year we spent a lot of time working with BTMUA.  We now have a settlement.  We are now moving along with resolution compliance. 

 

Chairman Braun said one of the concerns the Board has is you did a lot of site work.  It seems that the delay that has taken place has caused all sorts of issues out there that do not normally occur.  Maybe the engineer can tell us why this has happened.  There are issues regarding drainage, flooding, etc.

 

Attorney Shimanowitz said one of the review letters calls for a street opening from Howell.  We have applied for that.  Until we get that street opening permit we cannot work on the drainage.

 

Sworn by Reporter Arnone:                                                Mike Intile, Engineer

                                                                                    Glenn Gerken, Engineer

                                                                                    Cheryl Bergailo, Planner

 

Mr. Intile said he is the project engineer for the site.  He said they are staking out the site.  It is cleared and currently under construction.  Trees have been cleared.  There is rough grading.  A retaining wall and two detention basins have been constructed but not connected to the drainage system.  Mr. Intile explained because of the storm soil went onto the adjoining roads.  It was cleared.    

 

Chairman Braun asked who the contractor is.  Attorney Shimanowitz said he does not know the name of the contractor.  The applicant is the general contractor.

 

Chairman Braun said the Board has a lot of concerns.  Chairman Braun said that is some of the sandiest soil he has ever seen.  He said for that soil to run into the street is amazing.  He said the applicant has made no attempt at all to control any of it.  Mr. Intile said the only instance he was aware of was the one he just mentioned. 

 

Chairman Braun said there are complaints from the residents stating they have water in their basements.  We told them when they were here things would be in place and these types of things would not happen.  We are going to hear from the residents and we are going to have you come back next month and tell us what you are going to do about these issues. 

 

Committeeman Brosnan suggested the applicant provide the residents with a telephone number of someone that is responsible for that project so they can have a contact person. 

 

The application was open to the public.

 

Larry Diamond, 146 Pineneedle Street, was sworn.  Mr. Diamond said the Board told the neighbors that this project would not have any adverse effect on them.  He said his backyard has not been dry in two years.  There is a big hole in the back of his house.  There is a large berm there.  He put in a new drywell and it is not doing the job.  He said there is a lot of dust and dirt


September 29, 2003                                                                                        Page 7

 

all over the house.  Everything is filthy.  They took all the trees down.  Mr. Diamond said this is a disgrace.  He said no dirt was to be moved out.  There were trucks coming in and out with dirt.  He asked where is the dirt coming from and where is it going.  He told the Board they would not want to live there.

 

Mike Foran, 151 Pineneedle Street, was sworn.  Mr. Foran had photos that he wanted marked into evidence.  Mr. Foran said these photos will show you the way we have to live.  The photos show the flood.  Howell and Wall Township measured the flood.  It was 270’ long by 80’ wide.  He said the engineer told him he has a problem.  He said he gave the engineer a call 20 minutes after he left because it happened again.  The township cleaned some of the debris.  They cleaned up all the mud.  Mr. Foran had photos showing the extremely high water after the last storm.  He said if you look down from Cherry Lane you will see water down the road.  Mr. Foran said he was also worried about standing water.  He said it could present a health hazard, such as, West Nile virus.  He asked the Board not to grant the extension until the applicant solves these problems. 

 

Attorney Shimanowitz said he objects to the photos being entered into evidence because they have nothing to do with the application before the Board tonight.

O-1      Photos taken by Mike Foran

 

Chairman Braun said if the Board does not feel comfortable with the extension we may not grant it.

 

Attorney Rubino said he suggests the Board pick a date in the next month or two and have the applicant come back.  We will send our engineer out to see what can be done to elevate these conditions.  The applicant can come back and tell us what they are planning to do.

 

Mr. Foran said on June 19, 2003, the day of his son’s graduation, there was a fire on the site.  He called 911.  The fire was off Red Bud.  It is Wall Township property.  He said today is September 29, 2003 and he hasn’t seen anyone respond, not even the Fire Chief or police.  He said styrofoam was on fire and that burns toxins.  South Wall Fire Company has not gotten back to me stating why they were not dispatched. 

 

Renee Gillies, 154 Pineneedle Street, was sworn.  Ms. Gillies said her property backs up to this.  She said she has a problem with the Board granting an extension.  Ms. Gillies said she moved into her home 2˝ years ago.  She said she hasn’t seen any progress since she moved in.  She said once in a while we see a truck on the site.  Ms. Gillies said the applicant should be penalized for taking down all those trees.  Fences are lying on the ground.  She said her quality of life has been severely impacted by this.  Nothing has been done.  It is a disgrace.

Mr. Foran asked what the start-up time is in Wall.  Deputy Mayor Thomson said between 7:00 A.M. and 12 midnight. 

 

Randy Wirkki, 152 Pineneedle Street, was sworn.  Mr. Wirkki said he can’t open his windows.  He said nothing has been done for 2˝ years except taking down trees.

 

Joseph Ortuso, 161 Pineneedle Street, was sworn.  Mr. Ortuso said he is not affected by the flood but he is affected by the dirt.  He asked if the Planning Board gave the go-ahead to clear the property.  Attorney Rubino said part of this is the fault of the applicant.  Mr. Ortuso said once the maps were signed they cleared within 30 days and nothing has been done since.  He said they put concrete pipes on the site and left them.

 

Mr. Pritchard, 21 Poplar Street, was sworn.  Mr. Pritchard said this is a unique situation.  There are no roads from Wall Township going onto the development.  They are negligent to the community.  Their extension should be terminated.

 

Attorney Rubino explained the extension.  The extension protects the applicant against zone change.  Their approvals do not expire.

 

Debby Pritchard, 21 Poplar Street, was sworn.  Ms. Pritchard said she would like to see a time plan.  She would like a contact person so she can work with them. 

 

Attorney Shimanowitz said they are waiting for one very important permit and it comes from Howell.  We are not legally permitted to do any drainage work until we receive the permit from Howell to open the road.  Attorney Shimanowitz said the residents can contact the Township Engineer. 

 

Chairman Braun said the Board needs everything brought up to speed.  He said the Board engineer will be out at the site. 

 

Mr. Tobia gave Ms. Pritchard the attorney’s phone number.  Ms. Pritchard said she has that and calling that number does no good. 

 

Ms. Ventura, 28 Maypink Lane, was sworn.  Ms. Ventura said she also has the dirt problem.  She asked if the cul-de-sac where she lives will be open.  She said she was under the impression there would be no openings.  Attorney Shimanowitz said where Ms. Ventura lives there will not be an access.  It will just be for emergencies.

 

Deputy Mayor Thomson stated that Wall Township and Howell Township are discussing Wall Township giving up the taxes on that property because we cannot access it. 

 

The application was closed to the public.

Mr. Tobia said Mr. Gerken will contact FSCD to stabilize the site. 

 

Chairman Braun said this application will be carried to November 24, 2003.  He said on the 24th we will come back and rule on the extension.

 

Attorney Rubino said at least ten days before that hearing Howell Properties should give Mr. Gerken a letter stating what they are going to do to correct these issues.  He also stated the applicant should meet with the Wall Township Police Department before the next meeting.

 

Mr. Tobia said if any clean up was done by Wall Township or Howell Township they should be reimbursed.  Mr. Tobia also stated the applicant should be at the next meeting.

 

The Board recessed at 9:55 P.M.

 

The meeting resumed at 10:00 P.M.

Attorney Alfieri said the applicant is seeking approval for eight, 30,000 s.f. office buildings, a two-story office building, a two-story manufacturing and office building and a bank pad.  Attorney Alfieri said at the previous meeting of June 30, 2003 there was a problem with Hall Properties.  They were not noticed.  The application was carried to this evening.  All were noticed.  He said he has met with Hall Properties & Scoles.  There is going to be a change to the application.  Hall Properties did not want the restaurant near their building.  They wanted it moved.  We are going to take away the restaurant.  We are putting a smaller office building there.  We are seeking final approval for six office buildings, bank and warehouse. 

 

Mr. Gatto, Managing Member of Allaire Properties, LLC, gave his credentials which were accepted by the Board.

 

Mr. Gatto said it is his plan at this point to put in all road improvements at one time.  The warehouse and bank will be built in the first phase.  He said they would build roughly one building a year.  He said they are in negations with Allaire Community Bank for the bank pad.  We are still pursuing companies for the office buildings.

 

Gary Dahms, Planner and Engineer, gave his credentials which were accepted by the Board.

 

Mr. Dahms said the site is located on Route 34 northbound.  It is across from Allaire Airport.  Scoles is to the south.  Hall Properties is to the north.  The site is located on block 942, lots 37 & 57.  It is in the OR-2 zone.  It consists of 95+ acres.  37 of those acres are buildable.  57 of those acres are wetlands.  The wetlands are to the east of the project.  We are proposing eight office buildings.  We are seeking preliminary and final site approvals.  Four buildings will be in the easterly portion of the back of the property.  We have eliminated the restaurant.  We are


September 29, 2003                                                                                        Page 11

 

proposing an office building on that pad.  That building will be a 15,000 s.f. office building with 75 parking spaces.  It will match the other office buildings.  This building will be two-story.  Three of the buildings will be three-story.  Three of the buildings will be four-story.   

 

Mr. Dahms explained the bank will have access from the jug handle at the light.  It will have a right in and right out.  The bank will have two teller aisles. 

 

Mr. Dahms explained impervious coverage will be 19% where 65% is permitted.  Wall ordinance requires 1,301 parking spaces, we are providing 1,307.  Handicap parking spaces are throughout the site.  Circulation will be provided and properly maintained. 

 

Mr. Dahms said they are waiting approval from NJDOT.  He said many of the other permits are in.

 

Mr. Dahms said the office buildings do not require loading zones.  They would receive deliveries by FED EX, UPS, etc.  There is space at the entrance for those kinds of deliveries.

 

Mr. Dahms explained there will be dumpsters for each building with two exceptions.  The three buildings to the north will share two dumpsters.  The office building and the bank will share a dumpster. 

 

Mr. Dahms said drainage will be managed with three detention basins.  At the east end section there will be a large basin.  There will be a basin to the east and a basin to the northeast.

 

Mr. Dahms said the project will be connected to town water and sanitary sewer. 

 

Mr. Dahms explained the lighting package.  There will be more fixtures by the bank and the frontage along Route 34.  The lighting package will conform to Township ordinance.

 

Mr. Dahms said they have developed an extensive landscaping package.  It will conform to township ordinance.  The parking aisles will be landscaped. 

 

Mr. Dahms went over the signage package.  There will be two identification signs, one at the entrance and one at the exit.  There will be directional signs throughout the site.  Each building will have an identification sign.  There will be a freestanding sign at the bank. 

 

Mr. Dahms said there will be basements and they will be used for storage and mechanicals only. 

Mr. Dahms explained the first floor of the buildings will be at ground level. 

 

Attorney Alfieri said there is a small subdivision required to move the driveway onto the Scoles property.  We have an agreement with them.  Attorney Alfieri said he will put into evidence, at the next meeting, the settlements with Scoles and Hall Properties.
