PUBLIC SESSION (any subject – 3-minute limit)
PUBLIC SESSION OPENED at 7:55 PM
Township Resident D. Voris thanked the Committee for their time and efforts running the Township. He described the hardships of trying to open and run a business in today’s economy and how a lot of businesses have closed in Stillwater Township, including selling his own business. There aren’t many people interested in investing, preserving or opening a new business in Stillwater. He feels that the Township and Zoning Board should fully support anyone who wishes to open a business in Stillwater. He would like the Township Committee to consider what they’re doing on Main Street; how to get more activity then he sees now and how to make it happen. He stated that he faced many obstacles and that if it weren’t for the concessions from the Zoning Board, he wouldn’t have been able to do it. The Committee thanked Mr. Voris for his thoughts.
Township Resident D. Gatanas stated that he appreciates Mr. Voris’ words and echoes his concerns. He thanked the Committee for approving the Yuletide Stroll and stated that it was a well-attended and great event. He stated his safety concerns for the temporary traffic light in front of his home again and asked if the Township has sought answers from the County or written a formal letter asking them to address the situation faster. Mayor L. Chammings stated that there was a meeting with the County regarding bridge work in Stillwater Township, so the Township has been in communication with the County.
Mr. Gatanas stated that if a traffic light should be anywhere that he feels that there should be one at the intersection of Main Street, Maple Ave and Stillwater Road meet.
Mr. Gatanas stated that the parking lots for the church and the bank will remain unopened to the public. He will speak with the school board regarding this. He stated that the busses use them as a stop to pick up children but that they didn’t have permission and that it is a safety concern having them on his property.
Mr. Gatanas noted that the Zoning Board voted in favor of refunding Mr. Monahan that evening, including the engineer and substitute attorney that evening. He felt that the Township Committee shouldn’t overturn the Zoning Board’s decision. He asked the Deputy Mayor to speak with the Zoning Official and rescind the Zoning violations due to her complaint. Committeewoman V. Rumsey stated that he addressed the issues after the fact of receiving the violation. The Committee thanked Mr. Gatanas for his comments.
Township Resident K. Draghi stated that she also appreciated what Mr. Voris said in regards to the development of Main Street however she has some concerns that three of the businesses located on Main Street are on the current tax sale list, owing over six figures in taxes. She stated that it’s a difficult situation when the entities that are here aren’t paying their taxes. The Zoning Board doesn’t spend time hearing from entities that are behind on their taxes as they’re not sure if they’ll even be here much longer since they aren’t paying their taxes.
Township Resident P. Piccone asked the Town Committee if there were any updates from the Zoning Officer in regards to his property. The Sussex County Health Department conducted their investigation in June. Committeeman G. Scott stated that there is an active investigation going on regarding the vehicles on his property, that once it’s resolved that the Township Committee can give him an update. The Township Attorney also added that he could go to municipal court and file a civil claim regarding the vehicles that are on his property.
Committeeman G. Scott stated that he wanted to thank Mr. Voris for everything that he’s done for Stillwater. He built up a nice business and he did a great job. He was sorry to see him sell it. Mayor L. Chammings stated that she echoed Mr. Scott’s words and added that a term that Mr. Voris used was that concessions were made by the Zoning Board but essentially the Zoning Board worked within the D-variances that they could. They did what they could to help him and he also worked with the Zoning Board in return, she wouldn’t call that a concession but it was following the proper procedures.
No further public comment.
