PUBLI C DISCUSSION Mayor Reiman said we are doing it all and explained it will done in
(Continued) several phases. He said the project is funded, there is plenty of money
in the project and it will be complete this year.
Mr. Rosanski asked if Leibig Lane was going to be made a one way.
Mayor Reiman said it is a good possibility.
Mr. Rosanski asked about the OEM building.
Mayor Reiman said the Council awarded a contract for renovations to
the OEM building at the last meeting, the inside has been cleaned out
and they have to start construction.
Marion Smeal, 2 Washington Avenue spoke about the work being
done on Washington Avenue she said she was told they were not going
to do work by the guardrail.
Mayor Reiman said they would be doing it and he would speak to the
contractor.
Councilmember Sitarz said Streets and Roads took the guardrail down
today they may have been waiting for that before continuing.
Mayor Reiman briefly explained about safety issues. He said Ms.
Smeal should give the Borough Clerk her phone number so someone
could get back to her.
Len Scheno, 280 Washington Avenue thanked the Mayor and Council
for the Senior Rebate on behalf of all the seniors.
Mayor Reiman said this is the first and only Senior Rebate in the state
and hoped they would be able to continue this.
Councilmember Naples said the multiple disabled class from the high
school helped fold and stuff the envelopes.
Mrs. Gaydos, Hermann Street couldn't flush her toilet for twelve hours
because of the hurricane.
Mayor Reiman explained why this might have happened.
Mrs. Gaydos spoke about the hotel project and the houses being built
on Clauss Street.
Mayor Reiman said he felt the hotel was a fantastic project and they
paid two hundred thousand dollars into the sewer system which is a
separate sewer system that will not impact her side of West Carteret.
He said the houses on Clauss Street that were approved a few years
ago and went through a legal battle will have a minimal impact on the
sewer system on her side.
Mrs. Gaydos said houses are being built by contractors to make money
and not built by people who want to live here. She said she felt they
were crowding in houses.

Mayor Reiman said ninety percent of the houses are being built by PUBLIC DISCUSSION
contractors to sell. (Continued)
Mrs. Gaydos asked ifhe felt it was fair.
Mayor Reiman said she should go to the Zoning Board meetings.
Mrs. Gaydos said she went to the Zoning Board and was laughed at
and was told by the man in charge she should sit down.
Mayor Reiman said at the Zoning and Planning Board meetings you
can only speak about a specific site plan or a specific variance you can
not go there to speak about any issue.
Sue Gaydos, Mrs. Gaydos's daughter said she was told if she did not
like the results she should go to Superior Court.
Mayor Reiman said the Council is considering an Ordinance to ban
new duplexes or two family houses in Carteret. He said they are
gathering information and hoped to take action in the near future.
Mrs. Gaydos asked about Resolution #04-305 for T &M Associates.
She wanted to know why they are getting $50,000.00 for a booklet.
Mayor Reiman explained and said it was done incorrectly. He said it
is for preparation of the bid documentation concerning problems with
the Hill Street and West Carteret Sanitary Sewer System.
Marion Smeal asked if there was an Ordinance for the size of the land
according to the building.
Mayor Reiman said we have section Chapter 160 which oversees all
land use and development in the Borough and he explained. The
Zoning and Planning Board under state law can give any kind of
variance if there is a hardship. He said he implores the residents to go
to the meetings since the Council has no jurisdiction over Zoning and
Planning. He said he felt it was better to have a side by side duplex
than a top and bottom two family and said he felt they are better off
with single family homes rather than two family homes at all.
Joel Reuter, 68 Marion Street thanked the Mayor and Council on
behalf of all his neighbors for the letters and road work on Marion
Street.
Mayor Reiman explained that Resolution #04-306 was appropriating
the money for this and they will start construction in the spring of next
year.
Sue Gaydos said there is new company in West Carteret which was
operating on Hermann Street and asked if they could put a sign that
reads no trucks and paint lines.
Mayor Reiman said Councilmember Sitarz would check with the
traffic division.
Councilmember Sitarz said he thought it might be in Woodbridge.
