PUBLIC PORTION

Jonathan Nelson from Parsippany, Nick Homyak from Lake Hiawatha, and Margaret Gossett from Mountain Lakes (a member of Citizens for Health, Safety and Welfare), spoke about the pending Waterview Open Space application of a buffer zone area that is part of a property development for mixed commercial and residential use. The residents feel that this is not good use of open space money and that it is a “gift” for the developer. They feel there are many questionable aspects to the application and would like this to be taken into consideration when deliberations are made. Ms. Gossett noted that there are several water aquifers on the entire parcel of land, and this undeveloped land directly aids storm water runoff. They reiterated that this is not a place to be developing property. Nick Homyak and Margaret Gossett gave documents to the Freeholder Board.

Mr. Matt Davies from Rockaway Township complimented the Freeholder Board on its 9/11 Candlelight and Remembrance Ceremony this past Sunday evening and felt it was very moving.

Freeholder DeFillippo presented the following resolutions:
