And the Planning Board, based on a recommendation from the public works director and the township engineer, has rejected a proposed detention basin pipe under the roadway. The hearing on Poricy’s application has been continued to January. The developer wants to build 10 sin­ gle-family houses on a 2.6-acre parcel at the end of Kentucky Drive, which is north of Middle Road near East Creek. The application has been before the board since July and has been postponed several times. Residents who live in the surrounding W e'll give you neighborhood are very concerned about potential drainage problems. At Thursday’s board meeting the ap­ plicant’s attorney, Jeffrey B. Gale, said it was up to the board whether they used a a$5 Certificate special “detention system” pipe, which would have holes and be surrounded by stone, or a regular solid drainage pipe. The idea of the detention pipe is if it reaches capacity, the water flows through the holes into the surrounding stone fo r e v e ry where it is temporarily detained and then re-enters the pipe. Board engineer Keith B. Smith said such systems are “not uncommon on pri­ vate property,” but the township does not want to assume maintenance for it under a $35 you spend! public street. Eventually the spaces between the surrounding stone, where the water would be detained, will fill up with sediment and have to be cleaned, Smith said. Board member Dan Malcolm, who is also a member of the Township Envi­ ronmental Commission, said he was dis­ HERE'S HOW IT W ORKS: appointed the applicant did not prepare a Do your Holiday Shopping now through Christmas Eve and you'll get flood survey, which he said had been dis­ cussed previously. a $5 Certificate for every $35 you spend.

Martin O ’Toole, 20 Kentucky Drive, said the development was like an old cliche about “trying to put 10 pounds of sugar into a five-pound bag. It does not make any sense, he said.

Congratulations to Chief Carmen Messina Since 1958, Carmen Messina has been a strong, positive force in the Matawan Borough Police Department. Beginning as a patrolman when the borough was a quiet town and neighboring Aberdeen was farmland and dirt roads, Messina slowly rose through the ranks from patrolman to chief. As the town’s population grew, so did Messina’s responsibilities. Over the past three decades, Messina has proven himself a capable and competent law enforcement officer. Last week, Messina took on a new responsibility of leadership; he was elected president of the Monmouth County Police Chief’s Association, certainly a high honor. With his past record and the sincere respect he pays to each person, whether a civilian or a cop, we feel that Messina will fill this latest role with the dignity and competence it needs and deserves.
