Ms. Sivak Mayor Reiman said he understood that Ms. Sivak wanted to
address the governing body. We'd already gone through the
E
June 20, 2013
Public Portion, you did not sign in but I will allot you some time.
Please stand up and state your name.
My name is Cindy Sivak my mother lives on Whittier St. behind St. City Sivak
Elizabeth's Church. She had a meeting with Board.
Mayor Reiman corrected her and said it was the Planning Board.
Ms. Sivak replied yes. About a year ago they cut down forty -four
trees and it left the ground with a lot of weeds. People are
dumping garbage there and possums are living in there. We can't Taint
open any windows because there is dirt everywhere and because
there are no tree roots, it is flooding.
Mavcar Reiman said we wil tqm the RoArd o f He�* b,_Pgd the
Planning Office inspect the property tomorrow. With regard to
the dirt, the developer or the property owner, Divine Mercy
Parish, St. Elizabeth, is still the property owner. They would be
obligated to provide a seed surface there for freehold soil dirt
control to ensure that you don't have dirt and debris blowing all
over. They should also have a construction fence or what they call
a silt fence all around the property which will keep people from
accessing the site. The Mayor said he can tell Ms. Sivak that he DLsci_ssion
does not know when they will be a closing, that is between the
Church and the purchaser but what he can say is that there was a
court approved settlement because initially the Planning Board
approved "X" amount, there was a challenge to that and
ultimately they went back to the board and there was a
settlement reached with court and various parties. In the
aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, FEMA has revised a lot of what
they call base flood elevation maps, the ABFE's. Most of that area
is now in a flood zone. Because of that, he doesn't believe those
homes will be able to have basements. He said he knows that is
part of the issue the Church is having in his last discussion with
Father Ed. He said he doesn't have any other updates aside from
I'll
June 20, 2013
the Church still owns the property, that they have a contract
purchaser and the Church or purchaser will be obligated to
maintain that lot and continue to clean the property of
debris that is being dumped on the site. He suspects that with the
change in the ABFE Map, the Church and /or developer may wind
up waiting until the final maps are out. Last week the State or
FEMA released Monmouth and Ocean Counties and Central and
Discussion South of us. They have yet to release any modifications for Central
Cont or North. So, there may be modifications for those maps or they
may not be modifications to those maps. But, because of the new
flood mapping and elevations, part of that project will change.
The Mayor said he doesn't suspect that the number of units will
change or the design but it may eliminate some or all of those
basements.
Re: St Elizabeth's M s. Sivak asked if the Church still owns the pro perty. She spoke
bovt area= f�tweer�= tiie= srciewaiic and trse�cdrb� and "a
gentleman told her the Church was taking care of that and that
the purchaser has to take care of the interior.
Mayor Reiman said yes.
Mayor Reiman said we'll make sure
the construction office and property maintenance gets out there
tomorrow. They will take photos and they will notify the Church
and the contract purchaser to cut the grass and put up a silt fence
and basically maintain the property.
Pdjau-rxsl Ms. Sivak thanked the Mayor and Council for letting her speak.
Upon MMS &C by Councilmembers Diaz and Krum and unanimous
affirmative vote of the five (5) members present, the meeting was
adjourned at approximately 6:30 P.M.
