New Business

• Ordinance 2009-5 - Based on the input received tonight, Koldjeski motioned to table Ordinance 2009-5 so that we can take another look at Ordinance 2007-3 and revisit the amendment at a later date and put in sanctions, 2nd by Pardue. Motion voted, all in favor.
• Columbus Circle Development - Board reviewed a letter received with regard to a complaint by a resident that is putting in a tennis court in his back yard. Francis Walters – 1721 Davinci Lane – stated that she has a neighbor that has violated the zoning laws of Newton Township and has no permit for the work he is doing on his property. After some discussion, the Board instructed Haan to issue a stop work order which starts a time frame. If he does not stop the work, we will take him to court. The tennis court is an accessory structure and requires permission from the Township. The Board stated that Chief Reese will accompany Haan to issue the order. Maria Szymanski stated that if there is a variance requested by this neighbor, she will not agree. Linda Lombardo, who just purchased Lot 50 in the development, needs to know where the well is on the property next to her so that she can proceed with her design plans. Haan will check into this matter.
• Resolution 2009-4 - Motion by Koldjeski to approve Resolution 2009-4 as prepared which is for an eGrant for the Recreation Center’s boiler project, 2nd by Pardue. Motion voted, all in favor.
