APPROVED & ADOPTED: December 19, 2011 INTRODUCED: December 1. 2011 Advertised as Adopted on First Reading With Notice of Public Hearing: December 10, 2011 Hearing Held: _____ Decembe 2011 Approved By: Mayor Daniel LReim Advertised as Finally Adopted: Dece 24 2011 The Clerk stated that Ordinance #11 -29 was ORDINANCE #11 -29 introduced and adopted on First Reading at a meeting of the Borough Council of the Borough of Carteret held on December 1, 2011.

The Ordinance was posted on the bulletin board and copies were made available to the general public and according to law, she read the Ordinance by title. The Mayor said that Victor Furmanec from Beacon Planning is here and he has a quick overview of the Redevelopment Plan. Victor Furnmanec stated that the area designated RE: VICTOR FORNMANEC for Industrial use will now have a commercial use as well. The plan relaxes the bulk standards for the area. It allows the official height of the building... (inaudible)... 5 to 10 % additional building coverage for the area as well. There are some increased costs to build this property because of the past ...(inaudible)... The other aspect of the plan is that the plan, before yours differs somewhat from the original plan. The Planning Board ...(inaudible)... recognizes that there is remediation involved. COMMENTS Borough Attorney Bergen said that as originally contemplated, the plan provided for remediation. This just clarifies the phase of the remediation. Mr. Furnmanec replied but was ...(inaudible)... Mayor Reiman stated that this is what we always called Landfill Phase Two Properties. It is the old property North /East of Wakefern 1 -Port 12 Buildings. It is the Old American Cyanamid or Cytec or ...(inaudible).. properties. To move the project forward there is going to be signification remediation that will take several years for the 14• DECEMBER 19, 2011 company to come in and remediate the site. So at the end of the day it will go from 150 Acres down to 30 to 40 usable acres to be built on. We want to make sure because of all the issues with contamination, with the building that whatever they have left they can maximize the building footprint for this area. Councilmember Krum asked if they had any kind of building they would put there. Mayor Reiman replied that it is in the heavy industrial zone. The redevelopment plan will allow for commercial and industrial type uses. Forty acres is the maximum. Councilmember Bellmo asked if that includes the connector roads into Wood Avenue in the back side or is that totally separate. Mayor Reiman said it is in the vicinity but the connector road would be built by the Turnpike. RE: COMtMEWS We're not quite sure where they would fall in regards to this property. They may go to the side of the property or they may go through the property. We won't know until the Turnpike starts construction or does their Environmental Impact Statement. They have a plan, they have some funding in place. Linden and Union County have taken the lead on that. He had a meeting with Linden Mayor Gerbounka and a few Union County Representative a few months ago and they are basically looking for dollars. The TPA has pledged some money and the FEDS has pledged some money and last we were involved, the Coast Guard was doing a review of the environmental impact statement. The Coast Guard is the lead Federal Agency overseeing the road project. That doesn't directly impact the area. We won't know until they 15 DECEMBER 19, 2011 start the roadway, where if they build it, where it is going to be. Councilmember Sitarz said for future use, asked if it comes to light and that fly over to Wood Avenue comes to be, maybe we can talk to the Turnpike about getting a ramp in that designated area. Mayor Reiman said the ramp would be elevated, this road to Linden would also be elevated and this entire site has got to be raised to clean it up and cap it. So, part if the remediation process is that they will be bringing in is the material or the stone or the dirt or whatever it is, they will be mixing and mending whatever it is on site. So basically they will be COMMENTS putting down five or ten feet of concrete. He will be the cap and they will be able to build on top of that. Borough Attorney asked, to be clear, that this Plan includes the recommendation of the Planning Board. The Mayor then thanked Victor Furmanec .
