Roll Call Tipton, Cornely, Yamrock

HSG Mayor Tipton stated that Kelley Smith is stepping down as Clerk and Kathleen Reinalda steps in during HSG discussion.

Attorney Campbell stated a brief overview as there were discussions about the water level at last meeting. Attorney Campbell stated that the question was that the area in between 262.8 and 246.5 if whether a compromise could be struck where it could be restored within the area in between the two. Attorney Campbell said that since the meeting HSG experts provided a report on November 21st to the Township and all parties which Attorney Campbell explained in summary of the correspondence that for the same reasons HSG can’t restore below 246.5 is the reason why HSG does not want to restore in between 246.5 and 262.8. Attorney Campbell stated that HSG request is that HSG only has to restore above the current existing water level. Attorney Campbell stated that Engineer Finelli took that information and provided a bonding estimate over and above the current bond that is in place and Mr. Finelli would like to see a bond of $200,000 over and above the rest of the work so that would assure the Township that if the water level ever dropped below 262.8 that the Township would have additional funds to make sure that the area was also restored once it was below the water level. Attorney Campbell stated that that’s where we are at this point. Attorney Campbell and Attorney Wilhelm had a discussion and Mr. Wilhelm was asked if his client would be willing to do that and Mr. Wilhelm stated HSG has a bond of a $1,000,000 in place and work has been done since this bond has been put in place.

Mayor Tipton asked Engineer Finelli if he did any analysis on whether the current state of affairs values the remainder on the restoration at approximately $600,000. Engineer Finelli stated he has not since he has been caught up with this particular issue for six months. Engineer Finelli said obviously they looked at the estimate that was provided earlier this year from HSG and he thinks we can certainly have some confidence that if $200,000 additional bond that the Township is looking for, for protection because of the steeper slopes, that we would allow based upon the studies HSG Geotech did and the natural angle of the repose of the material. Engineer Finelli stated that there is, in his opinion, that there is clearly in excess of $200,000 of additional protection which is in place now based upon the work that was completed versus the bond that is in place. Engineer Finelli thinks that the money is there at the moment to give us the bond protection.

1 Attorney Artigliere said the one thing that he keeps hearing is about the compromise, HSG is already getting a compromise because HSG is not complying with the Ordinance at 246.5. Attorney Artigliere stated that the Smiths’ did compromise when there was testimony at the last meeting that discussed the safety and our Engineer was agreeable to saying that level. Attorney Artigliere said when the bond was being discussed, the first question to Mr. Panacucci was about the bond, when the water level drops HSG doesn’t want to come back.

Mayor Tipton asked Attorney Artigliere if he had any objections to the compromise that has been talked about on the Townships side. Attorney Artigliere replied that HSG is suppose to go from 200 up, from the bottom up. The compromise is going to 246.5 because that is relatively a safe level. The issue is as the water drops how long will it take to fix to get it safe. The Ordinance is in place for a reason. Attorney Artigliere stated that a deadline needs to be set and kept and if the project isn’t done in time then there needs to be consequences.

Attorney Artigliere said his clients have not interfered with the work, has not insulted anybody and not engaged in any personal attacks. He said we are just addressing a safety issue that as property owners and the Township will be responsible for when HSG’s business aspect is done. Attorney Artigliere said there’s one comment that somebody said “you can’t restore this below the water level”. Attorney Artigliere stated you can restore it below the water. Attorney Artigliere said it’s not whether you can or can’t it’s an economic issue. He said do you require the person who dug the hole to absorb that cost or do you take the risk that the cost.

Attorney Wilhelm stated that the Committee knows it’s not purely an economic issue despite how it is being characterized. Attorney Wilhelm said if the Smiths’ want to get a rebuttal through their Engineer for the November 21st letter he would understand that but to just simply characterize it as a solely economic issue is not accurate.

Attorney Artigliere said to respond to that he had the Engineer here and he provided testimony. The November 21st letter just reiterated what was said before so there is no reason to go back and forth like a tennis match. Attorney Artigliere said Mr. Panicucci has an opinion, our Engineer has an opinion and the Townships’ Engineer has an opinion and there is an Ordinance that is set that says 3:1 from 200 feet on up so as he said he thinks someone coming in and asking for delays, delays, delays and waivers. He said after reading the letter he was really taken back by the language in that letter saying the Smiths’ reject this.

Mayor Tipton said he agrees with Attorney Artigliere on that view point he was not pleased to see that letter either on the rejection. He says that we are trying to work with everyone here. Mayor Tipton said he understands all of Attorney Artiglieres’ other points and we have been doing this for a long and not a lot of new facts are being revealed. Mayor Tipton asked if the rest of the Committee and the Professionals had any questions or comments.

Mayor Tipton stated the only thing he would like to see before the Committee takes action of this is that the historical data that was discussed. Mayor Tipton stated a 10-year bond will be discussed. Mayor Tipton stated he wants to look back at a 10-year window of how the area has changed over time so the history is better understood. Mayor Tipton stated that the historic data will be discussed at the January’s meeting for the 2019 application and HSG’s 2020 application will then be due at the March meeting instead of February as usual.

Consent Agenda Motion by Tipton, seconded by Yamrock carried unanimously by roll call to approve the following items with R19-102 being modified to remove Township contribution in 2020.

Public Comments Mayor Tipton stated the Committee is about to open for public comments but he made the following announcement. Mayor Tipton stated somebody has put a letter out about the Trans-Mix redevelopment site and he wanted to let everyone know that was present for this issue that there has been no change or updates.

Mr. Kapral thanked the Road Department for cleaning up a tree that fell across the road on Marble Hill Road.

Paul Williams lives on River Rd. Mr. Williams thanked the Committee and Professionals for the update information.

Mike VanDoren lives on Railroad Ave. Mr. VanDoren asked if the website could be updated as far as putting things such as the minutes on it. Mayor Tipton agreed.

Teresa Chapman lives on Brainards Rd. Mrs. Chapman asked if the Committee could give an exact date for due diligence on Trans-Mix, she thought it was done at the end of August and that it was stated they had a year from that date. Attorney Campbell replied she said they had a year from the due diligence which August sounds right and built into the contract a couple of extensions they can access from the year.

Bob Hill lives on Buttonwood Lane. Mr. Hill said the other part in the letter that went out had to do with the possibility of putting a solar farm down on the old Lippincott Farm. Mayor Tipton replied yes, we are under contract and it is a 30-year lease not a purchase. He said the successful bidder has made its’ application to PJM and each year we receive $50,000 to be under contract, if at some point the application gets denied or they decide it is not feasible they can walk away. Mr. Hill asked if it has been talked about at other meetings. Mayor Tipton replied yes, we passed an Ordinance, did an RFP, bidders submitted and were reviewed, then we voted on it and approved it.

29 Jamie McLain said he wants to thank the Township on the SADC part because he is one of the farms in the hopper. He wanted to make sure that process was still moving forward.

Doug Lipot lives on Alpha Street. Mr. Lipot asked how does he get the paper alley abandoned behind his house? Mayor Tipton replied that something we can do as a Township. Mayor Tipton asked does the alley have a name? Mr. Lipot replied that the alley is off of Pine Street. Mr. Lipot said that everybody has taken over the alley way and he has been having problems that someone is using it and it is not supposed to be used. Mayor Tipton stated that it is still technically a Township street and they will look into it.

Paul Williams lives on River Road. Mr. Williams said the road that goes back to Trans Mix needs a trench there because every time it rains the water runs all onto his property. Mr. Cornely said he will talk to Randy Hoffman about it.

Richard Dalrymple lives on River Road. Mr. Dalrymple would like to know why some of these issues that concern most of our population are not put on the ballot and gave examples of some of the concerns. Mayor Tipton replied for the past thirteen years no one has been coming to meetings, there has been no one at meetings, the Committee has had many, many meetings discussing these things out in the open and that everything does not get “put on the ballot” for a vote.

John Matlock lives on River Road. Mr. Matlock asked what is the name of the company that the Township entered into agreement for the Trans Mix site? Attorney Campbell replied it is Reivax and they also created an entity called Montasano at Harmony, LLC.

There were no further comments at this time. Public comment period was closed by Mayor Tipton.

Adjourn Motion by Yamrock, seconded by Cornely to adjourn the meeting at this time. The motion was carried unanimously by all in favor.
