MAYOR FENTON – REPORT FOR 2/12/04

I WOULD LIKE COUNCIL TO SUPPORT A REVISED RESOLUTION

ESTABLISHING FILING FEES AND ESCROW AMOUNTS FOR APPLICATIONS INVOLVING SUBDIVISION, LAND DEVELOPMENTS, ZONING MATTERS; AND ESTABLISHING CERTAIN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES AND POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO APPLICATION PROCEDURES, ADMINISTRATIVE FEES, RESOLUTION OF FEE DISPUTES; AND FURTHER ESTABLISHING A SCHEDULE OF MUNICIPAL ENGINEER AND/OR CONSULTANT FEES.

THE TOWNSHIP HAS RECEIVED A REVISED SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR TMP# 5-7-5 OVERLOOK & MAGNOLIA AVENUES IN WHICH THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THAT THE COUNCIL CONSIDER VACATION OF OVERLOOK AVENUE FROM MAGNOLIA AVENUE, SOUTH. HE IS ALSO REQUESTING VARIANCES, ELIMINATING PROPOSED RETAINING WALLS, AND A DRIVEWAY AND PARKING AREA WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF WAY OF OVERLOOK AVENUE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS TAX PARCEL IS ATTACHED TO BRISTOL TOWNSHIP OWNED OVERLOOK PARK, I AM REQUESTING THAT COUNCIL ASSURE THE APPLICANT THAT THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF APPROVING VACATING OVERLOOK AVENUE TO USE AS HIS PERSONAL DRIVEWAY/PARKING AREA AND ALSO ARE NOT IN SUPPORT OF ANY VARIANCES.

GRAFFITI – SEE ATTACHED MEMORANDUM –

THIS SATURDAY IS VALENTINE’S DAY. THE MARTYR, SAINT VALENTINE, WAS EXECUTED ON FEBRUARY 14^TH. HE DISOBEYED AN ORDER BY THE ROMAN EMPEROR CLAUDIUS II WHO DECREED THAT NO ONE COULD GET MARRIED BECAUSE THE ROMAN EMPIRE WAS IN NEED OF SOLDIERS. SECRETLY VALENTINE MARRIED COUPLES AND WHEN ARRESTED REFUSED TO DENOUNCE HIS RELIGION. STILL TODAY, IN A TIME OF WAR, LOVE LIVES ON. MAY WE REMEMBER OUR AMERICAN SOLDIERS AND THEIR LOVE ONES THIS VALENTINE’S DAY.
