Councilmember Bellino explained we have the Industrial Highway and that is probably the connecting road to where they want to go. Councilmember Krum said there are no trucks allowed on Roosevelt Avenue over four (4) tons and there are signs posted for this. Kevin Urban said if there was any kind of accident or calamity on the Industrial Road the public roads would be used and he referred to Washington and Roosevelt Avenues. Councilmember Bellino replied that Washington and Roosevelt Avenues are county roads and other than traffic safety, we do not have jurisdiction over them. Attorney Bergen explained that this is going to be a process that is going to be regulated by permits to the DEP. It has to be approved in a number of places throughout the state and then the town will determine whether they want to bring it in and they will pay the town significant fees to bring it in. He said the town can regulate it in a number of ways explaining if they don't take the path they said they could they could fine the property owner as being in violation of a site plan approval and could change the weights on the trucks so they don't drive on any local roads.
