our government entities are joining forces to purchase a development easement on a qualified farm on Route 79 in Marlboro and Freehold Township. The purchase of the easement means the property will not be developed.

During a recent meeting of the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders, the members of the county’s governing body passed a resolution authorizing a cost share agreement for the purchase of the development easement on the Van Mater property.

The Van Mater farm is on Route 79 in the vicinity of the Fireside Grill and Bar at the border of Marlboro and Freehold Township.

According to the resolution, the Monmouth County Agriculture Development Board advises the freeholders about the acquisition of development easements on farmland in Monmouth County for the purpose of preserving land for agricultural uses.

The Van Mater farm is a targeted farm in the Monmouth County Farmland Preservation Plan due to its soils, size and tillable acreage, and it is a targeted farm in the Marlboro Farmland Preservation Plan because it meets eligibility standards, it scored well on the municipal rating criteria and it is in close proximity to additional target farms and to the Henry Hudson Trail, according to the resolution.

The acquisition of the development easement will be jointly financed by Monmouth County, Marlboro, Freehold Township and the state. The members of the

Harnessing the power of nature to address climate change

M

any of us love huge old trees.

Their beauty, size and feeling of the passing of time leave us in awe. But they also contribute to life on this planet and make it livable for humans and so many incredible life forms.

But they also absorb harmful carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen.

The carbon is stored, or sequestered, in the wood of the tree’s trunk, branches and roots, and in its leaves and the organic components of soil.

With the advent of a rapidly changing climate, the ability of trees and forests to sequester carbon is getting some attention in this state we’re in.

A new report on the state’s climate change response by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is highlighting the role of natural solutions – that is, using the power of nature – as a key strategy in addressing climate issues.

The 80x50 refers to the state’s target of reducing carbon emissions 80% from 2006 levels by 2050. The state’s Global Warming Response Act requires the DEP to track emissions with respect to the target, lay out a strategy and adopt measures to ensure the targets are met.

The 200-page report describes various carbon reduction strategies for transportation, electricity generation, homes, commercial businesses and industry.

But it also focuses on the need to protect and enhance the amount of carbon

stored in New Jersey’s lands. through Green Acres and other land presThe report outlines five important ways ervation initiatives, is actively protecting that trees, forests, wetlands, marshes and forests for their ecological value. farms can offset emissions by sequestering • Conservation management of agmore carbon: ricultural lands – New Jersey has more • Reforestation – Planting new trees than 411,000 acres of harvested cropland can significantly boost the amounts of car- which could benefit from improved land bon stored in soil and woody biomass. management practices to help reduce carReforestation can take many forms, bon losses. including planting trees in urban and subBest management practices such as urban neighborhoods, planting more trees little or no tilling of fields, planting cover on pastures and croplands at New Jersey crops in winter and increasing the organic farms, and reforesting wetlands and other carbon content of soils can enhance “carlands that were previously covered in for- bon sinks” and reduce greenhouse gas est. emissions.

But the good news is that the state, The report warns that the state’s tidal

salt marshes could decline between 5% and 9% by 2050 due to sea level rise and recommends steps to protect these marshes by allowing them to migrate inland.

• Proactive forest management – Critical “carbon sinks” in New Jersey’s forests are at risk from wildfires, invasive plants, pests, diseases and overabundant deer, as well as sea level rise.

Proposed innovations include adopting carbon sequestration criteria as part of the Community Based Deer Management Plans and expanding deer population management tools on private forest lands.

Carbon defense, which is protecting carbon already sequestered in forests, especially via selective thinning in the Pine Barrens to prevent catastrophic losses due to insect infestations and wildfires, can also promote rare species.

Protecting existing forests through carbon defense and growing new forests and healing soil with a carbon offensive strategy can “deliver significant reductions in New Jersey’s net carbon emissions costeffectively,” according to the report.

The report concludes that natural solutions have the potential to increase carbon sequestration in the landscape by 33% by 2050. The state can’t meet its 2050 emissions targets without them.

Michele S. Byers is the executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, Far Hills.

Freeholders will assist special needs schools, expand CARES Act grant programs The Monmouth County Board of Freeholders has announced the expansion of the Monmouth County CARES Economic Assistance Grant Program and assistance for special needs schools.

During a press conference, Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone said Monmouth County is allocating federal CARES Act funding to vocational schools and to schools that educate individuals who have special needs.

“There are some things that cannot be taught virtually, including culinary arts, biotechnology and health care.

“Because of the critical need for handson learning, the county vocational schools have worked tirelessly to safely return students to the classroom. To assist them in this endeavor, the county will be allocat-

ing $500 per full time student and $250 per share time student,” he said.

“We are also going to be allocating $500 per student to the 10 special needs schools in Monmouth County in order to help enhance their education.

“The students and families in these schools rely heavily on structure and so the schools have had to dedicate their efforts to figure out how to bring them into the schools safely.

“These students have worked so hard to get where they are today and we will do everything we can to help these schools keep their students in their classrooms with their favorite teachers and peers,” Arnone said.

Arnone also gave updates about “The Show Must Go On in Monmouth!” and the Monmouth County CARES Economic As-

sistance Grant Program.

“I previously announced ‘The Show Must Go On in Monmouth!’ program. I am happy to say all of the performing arts organizations in Monmouth County that we know of have been contacted. If any performing arts company has not been contacted, please contact the Monmouth County administrator’s office,” Arnone said.

“Additionally, I am excited to announce we are expanding the Monmouth County CARES Economic Assistance Grant Program and allowing small businesses to apply for an additional $10,000, for a total of up to $20,000 in grant money.

“Any small business that has already applied and submitted expenses in excess of $20,000 does not need to do anything,

your application will be reviewed and eligible expenses will be processed.

“If you submitted more than $10,000, but less than $20,000, and have incurred additional expenses, please submit them as soon as possible.

“I encourage any small business that has not applied at all to please do so as soon as possible,” he said.

To apply for a grant, the owner of a small business may visit www.Monmouth CountyCares.com or call 732-375-2196, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“We have now approved more than 2,100 applications and dispersed nearly $18 million. If you have any questions about eligibility or how to fill out an application, the county is ready to help you,” Arnone said.

NEWS BRIEFS

Civil penalties for trespassing on or vandalizing agricultural or horticultural lands would be increased under legislation approved on Oct. 29 by the full New Jersey Assembly, 72-0.

The minimum civil penalty under the bill (A-4233) would be raised from $1,000 to $2,500 if a court determines the damages sustained exceed $10,000. This increased penalty would be in addition to any other applicable fines, penalties or restitution, according to a press release from the New Jersey Assembly Democrats.

The measure’s sponsors, Assemblyman Eric Houghtaling (D-Monmouth) and Assemblyman Adam Taliaferro (D-Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland) said, “There is no reason for anyone to trespass on or damage property on farmland.

“People who knowingly or recklessly harm crops, buildings or fences, live trees or domestic animals on farms should be held accountable for their inexcusable actions.

“Farmers and growers give us our food, preserve our open space and take care of our environment. Their workplaces are agricultural and horticultural lands, and they must be treated with respect,” the assemblymen said.

The legislation now goes to the state Senate for further review.

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP – Emergency contracts totaling $83,452 have been awarded by the Township Committee for work at a Freehold Township water treatment facility after the infrastructure was affected by Tropical Storm Isaias.

On Oct. 6, committee members awarded three contracts related to an emergency generator rental and emergency repairs at the Jackson Mills water treatment plant generator.

OfďŹ cials said the contracts were issued because the treatment plant sustained a power outage due to the tropical storm on Sept. 29.

A contract in the amount of $78,684 was awarded to Sodon’s Electric Inc.; a contract in the amount of $3,995 was awarded to Allied Diesel Service; and a contract in the amount of $773 was awarded to Cooper Electric, according to a resolution.

Committee members said the generator rental and repairs were needed immediately because the Freehold Township Utilities Department was unable to treat municipal

water during the power outage and the situation affected public health, safety and welfare.

In other business, committee members authorized contracts for leaf recycling and disposal in 2020 with Sigismondi Greenhouses, LLC (Sigismondi Brothers Farm), Gibson Farms and Dancer Farms.

The contract with Gibson Farms is not to exceed $52,000; the contract with Dancer Farms is not to exceed $27,000; and the contract with Sigismondi Brothers Farms is not to exceed $27,000. All three farms will serve as recycling locations for leaf collection services.

And, Freehold Township has entered into a shared services agreement with Red Bank through which Freehold Township will provide Red Bank with information technology services. A resolution states the agreement will beneďŹ t taxpayers in both municipalities.

Finally, committee members authorized a reduction in the municipal parking lot fee. The fee in 2021 will be reduced from $175 to $150. According to a resolution, ofďŹ cials authorized the reduction because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Corcione’s OT winner lifts Freehold Twp. over Eagles

By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

T

he Freehold Township High School girls soccer team has been tough to stop during the 2020 season.

The Patriots have only been defeated once; on Oct. 27 when they saw a two-goal lead vanish in a 3-2 overtime loss to Middletown South High School.

The Patriots had a chance to avenge that loss on Nov. 7 when they played the Eagles in Middletown.

Once again, overtime was needed to decide the match and the Patriots notched their eighth victory of the season with help from freshman Cassidy Corcione.

Corcione received the ball from Alexa Yakow 20 yards from goal and fired a shot that found the top right corner of the net with :22 left in overtime to send Freehold Township to a 2-1 victory.

“It felt good right off my foot and I knew it was something good,” Corcione said of her game-winning goal. “It feels really good. We came together as a team and played our best to get a good result.”

The game-winner was Corcione’s seventh goal of the season and her first gamewinner in high school.

She collected her fifth assist early in the first half when she dished off a great pass to freshman Ainsley Moy that Moy sent home for a 1-0 lead.

As of Nov. 9, Moy was second on the team with goals. Senior Ryann Leohner and Corcione are tied with a team-high seven goals.

“Cassidy crossed it back to me in the middle and I saw an open shot, so I just hit it and it went in,” Moy said of her goal.

“It was really exciting. Our team is doing a good job.

“Even though we lost to (Middletown South earlier in the season), we came out ready to win and did a really good job.”

Freehold Township held the lead until the final moments of the second half, when Meghan Carragher scored her fourth goal of the season for the Eagles with 7:20 left.

Both squads missed scoring chances in

the final moments of regulation, signaling another overtime period between the two Shore Conference A North Division foes.

As the 10-minute overtime period entered the final four minutes without anyone having scored a golden goal, the Eagles made a run. But Freehold Township senior goalkeeper Ava Madoff made sure Middle-

town South came up empty and that the Patriots did not let this match slip away as they did in the teams’ first match.

Madoff dove to her left to knock down Makayla Jaffe’s shot and then was able to jump on the loose ball to keep the game tied.

“Before overtime, I told my coach I was

just going to throw myself at the ball and hope for the best and that’s exactly what happened,” Madoff said of the save. “It was really nice at the end with us winning because it felt like it was for a purpose and it felt really good.”

Madoff finished the match with three saves. Her overtime save shifted momentum and Corcione struck a few minutes later as Freehold Township gained a measure of redemption over the Eagles and improved to 8-1.

Battling back to defeat a nine-win team made it an important victory in the eyes of Freehold Township Coach Dave Patterson.

“It was really important for us to see we could come back in those situations.

“We fought hard and believed. We made a great stop on one end and then we turned it into a great shot on goal by Cassidy to finish it,” he said.

The Patriots will try to clinch the A North crown during the final week of the regular season. Freehold Township faced Howell on Nov. 9 and will play Marlboro twice to complete the regular season.

Freehold Township has received the No. 3 seed in the 2020 Central Regional Group 4 bracket of the state tournament and will host Elizabeth High School on Nov. 18.

In 2019, the Patriots reached the Central Jersey, Group 4 championship match, where they fell to Hunterdon Central Regional High School of Flemington, 2-1.

Patterson believes his players have the talent to make a run at a championship in the state tournament and knows they understand the high expectations the team has going into the final stretch of the season.

“Because our program has had such talented players over the years, we come into every season trying to challenge for championships.

“We are just trying to give ourselves chances to keep playing and getting better and hope it turns into results.

“Hopefully we can earn the first championship we are looking for in the division and move into the states feeling good about how we are playing,” Patterson said.

“Because our program has had such talented players over the years, we come into every season trying to challenge for championships.”

— Dave Patterson, Freehold Township soccer coach

MARLBORO – Nov. 9 marked eight months since Gov. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency in New Jersey after the COVID-19 virus entered the state.

According to The New York Times, New Jersey had almost 250,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and about 16,000 deaths as of early November. On Nov. 4, state officials reported there were 2,443 new cases, which was an increase of about 600 from the previous day.

Marlboro Mayor Jonathan Hornik, like other mayors in New Jersey, has seen his community deal with the effects of the pandemic. In an interview this week, he discussed the ongoing health crisis.

“My primary concern has been and will continue to be the safety and well-being of the public and our essential personnel,” he said. “Throughout this crisis, we have strived to maintain a balance between health and safety while delivering critical services to the public. This becomes an even greater challenge as we enter the flu season and the cold winter months.”

When asked about the impact the pandemic has had on Marlboro’s businesses, Hornik said, “Our local business community continues to struggle under very difficult circumstances, especially our great restaurants. I credit the initiative and determination of our local business leaders in staying afloat and providing much needed services during this time.

“As I have said publicly many times, our local businesses are critical to the fabric of this community and our goal is to ensure Marlboro continues to offer the same wealth of retail, service and restaurant options to residents as was the case before the pandemic,” he said.

Hornik listed several efforts he said municipal officials have made to ease the burden on local businesses: • Maintained open lines of communication with local restaurants and grocery stores; regularly updated, posted and disseminated hours of operation, delivery options, online ordering and special hours for at-risk populations to the public; • Provided and publicized avenues for residents to support local businesses by purchasing gift cards, through the Economic Development Committee; • Regularly communicated with business operators to keep them apprised of grants and programs available at the county, state and federal levels; • Issued no-fee permits for fitness facilities to run outdoor classes at their location; • Fast-tracked permits to allow restau-

rants to expand existing dining areas or to create new outdoor dining areas; • Issued no-fee permits to gyms and fitness centers that were closed or subject to reduced capacity to operate on township recreation fields.

The pandemic has also had an impact on municipal operations and Hornik spoke about the impact on the 2020 and 2021 municipal budgets.

“Our budget process is a continuous, year-around undertaking. Through the budget process, we explore how to improve services and deliver them more efficiently, and regularly update projections and run multiple scenarios in order to stay ahead of the curve.

“In the short term, the township has experienced a significant decline in parking revenue, interest on investments and municipal court revenue, a projected shortfall in excess of $600,000 by year’s end,” he said.

“Within the Department of Recreation, simply put, our costs increased and revenues declined. The township has continued to offer programming during the pandemic to the extent possible under state executive orders.

“We went to significant lengths to open the swim club because our residents were in desperate need of an outlet during the summer. Doing so meant spending more in order to adhere to strict state operating guidelines, and raising less revenue due to state limits on attendance.

“Fortunately, at least for 2020, CARES Act funding has offset significant COVID 19-related operating costs and some necessary capital expenditures relative to the pandemic.

“Going into 2021, the township is monitoring fourth quarter tax collection levels.

In this predominantly residential community, the housing market remains strong, which is a positive sign.

“Marlboro is not heavily reliant on state aid, but to the extent it receives any, this is a wildcard in the coming year’s budget picture. As has been widely reported, New Jersey is facing a serious financial crunch, severely aggravated by the pandemic,” the mayor said.

Hornik closed by stating what he has seen from the community during the pandemic.

“Over the past eight months, I have witnessed numerous examples of neighbors assisting neighbors, and essential employees overcoming the most difficult circumstances in order to report to work and serve the public.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2021 Chevy Trailblazer AWD RS

T

he first thing you can’t fail to notice about the 2021 Chevy Trailblazer RS AWD that I recently drove for one week is its striking color: Oasis Blue.

If I were naming it – and I am sure the folks at Chevy are glad that I’m not – I would’ve opted for a more appropriate “Electric Blue”.

But, that’s neither here nor there, suffice it to say that this Oasis Blue, with a black roof top and a Jet Black with red accents interior makes for Peter Perrotta a very “can’t miss” image as you drive it around town.

It is definitely a “love it or hate it” color combination. However, there are plenty of other color options available on the Trailblazer if one is considering buying or leasing one anytime soon.

The second most obvious thing one notices about the 2021 Trailblazer RS is its new sculpted body style, and once you plop yourself behind the wheel and take it for a spin, you can’t help but start wondering if the three-cylinder 1.3 liter Ecotec turbo engine is sufficient.

Yes, that’s right folks, a three-cylinder engine – albeit turbo charged – in an SUV. It certainly was a bold move for GM. Needless to say, Chevy has sort of taken it on the chin from the traditional motoring press reviewers for this move.

The slings and arrows start from the get-go with the simple headline on Car and Driver’s online review of this car: “2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer: Lots of show, not much go.”

Ouch!

While Motor Trend raved about the versatility of the Trailblazer, their editors also hit it up for being slow.

So I guess you are ready for me to jump on the bandwagon, right?

Well, not exactly. That would be too easy.

While the metrics don’t lie – this engine puts out a pedestrian 155 horsepower – and its zero to 60 time is a laborious 9.4 seconds, there is still much to like about the Trailblazer.

Let’s clear the air. If you are looking to own a quick and nimble European-styled little SUV that you can scoot about town with a kid and dog in tow but still zip in

2021 Chevy Trailblazer AWD RS

and out of traffic making aggressive lane changes, then stop right there folks, this isn’t the car for you.

But, not everyone wants to drive like that. I love my wife, dearly, but I don’t think she ever accelerates aggressively or takes her 2011 Nissan Altima over 55 mph.

My point is, even if we concede the point that the Trailblazer is slow, so what?

I am sure there are plenty of folks out there among the vast motoring public who would be perfectly content driving this 2021 Trailblazer around town or on a vacation sojourn and not even notice or even think it’s slow because their driving style fits this model perfectly.

My overall impression of the 2021 Trailblazer is a positive one. This vehicle is well-styled, inside and out, and is roomy and comfortable to drive. It also has a versatile, utilitarian personality as well.

On weekends, I carry around glass display cases for when I set up at baseball card shows to sell my wares. The Trailblazer held all three of my cases quite well and my Martin acoustic guitar also fit back there when I was taking it to get it restrung.

The Trailblazer is rather nimble to ma-

typical bumps and bruises in our New Jersey roads quite well. There isn’t too much shake, rattle and roll when you go over bumps or hit potholes.

The 2021 Trailblazer RS AWD model I road tested carries a base sticker price of $26,900. With added options and destination and delivery charges the bottom line sticker price on my tester comes in at $30,580.

The added options included $1,720 for a technology package, $620 for a convenience package and $345 for a driver confidence package.

The technology package includes wireless Bluetooth Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive cruise control, a Bose 7-speaker upgraded sound system and more.

The driver confidence package includes rear park assist, rear cross traffic alert, lane change alert and side blind zone alert.

Among the items included in the driver convenience package are rear port charging stations, automatic zoned AC, and the Sirius Satellite radio system.

The infotainment system in the Trailblazer is the standard one included in most

system that is easy to use without any glitches.

Chevy offers up the Trailblazer in five different trim levels: the L, LS, LT, Activ and the RS. The entry level L can be had for a meager starting base price of $19,995.

The three cylinder turbocharged engine in the Trailblazer I drove for one week gets a fairly impressive 28 miles per gallon overall in the EPA’s fuel consumption ratings. It gets 26 mpg in city driving and 30 in highway driving.

The EPA estimates the annual cost of driving the Trailblazer around town for one year is $1,450 as it uses about 3.6 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven.

This vehicle has not yet received a rating for the government’s 5 star crash and safety tests.

The bottom line is that while this Trailblazer may not be everyone’s cup of tea, there is plenty to like about it to consider it a serious contender for anyone who is considering owning or leasing a small SUV.

NEWS TRANSCRIPT 21

Administrators eyeing students’ return in December Staff Writer

FREEHOLD – Administrators in the Freehold Borough K-8 School District are hoping to have students return to the district’s three buildings in December.

In a letter dated Oct. 16, Superintendent of Schools Rocco Tomazic informed parents that Dec. 14 is the estimated date when students will be back in class.

Since the start of the 2020-21 school year, all of the district’s students have been receiving instruction on a remote basis.

Administrators determined that as the new school year began with the 2020 coronavirus outbreak still an issue, they were unable to meet health and safety guidelines related to the reopening of schools.

The schools have been closed since March when the coronavirus initially struck New Jersey. All students completed the 2019-20 school year by receiving instruction remotely.

Freehold Borough administrators were planning to begin the 2020-21 school year with a combination of in-person and remote learning, but that plan did not materialize after they identified two significant issues: the lack of physical barriers between students to limit the possible transmission of the virus, and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) filtration systems, according to Tomazic.

In his Oct. 16 letter, Tomazic informed parents that HVAC is the only remaining issue preventing the physical reopening of the schools. To address the issue, administrators are pursuing a system called a bipolar ionizer that will meet the state’s HVAC requirements.

The superintendent reported that the district’s contractor has provided an initial construction schedule for the equipment’s installation and that Dec. 14 is the estimated date when students may be permitted to return to school.

“There are many variables that might adjust that date, but I put it out to give you (parents) a general idea of what may be possible,” Tomazic wrote. “More details will follow, particularly after the ionizer supplies are on site and the installation work has begun.”

On Oct. 12, the Board of Education issued a $278,300 contract to D&B Service Group for the installation of the bipolar ionizers at the district’s two facilities – the Park Avenue Complex, which houses the Park Avenue Elementary School and the Freehold Intermediate School, and the Freehold Learning Center elementary school.

According to district administrators, the $278,300 contract does not include connections to the building’s HVAC control

system, which is estimated to cost an additional $50,000.

To help cover the costs of the installation, Freehold Borough has received $206,066 from the federal Coronavirus

Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. Board members also requested a capital reserve withdrawal of $130,000.

In addition to the bipolar ionizers, district officials purchased five Airmedic Pro

5 HD air purifiers in late September.

Tomazic said the purifiers have been received and set up to allow students in five special education self-contained classes to begin in-person learning Nov. 16.

JAR of Hope raises $165,000 for youngsters fighting disease

O

fficials from the JAR of Hope foundation have announced that the organization’s 260-mile “Walk For Their Lives” raised $165,000 to research a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Led by founder/CEO James Raffone, and including parents of children born with the extremely rare illness, the walkers started on Oct. 12 from Washington, D.C., and arrived in Old Bridge a week later, according to a press release from JAR of Hope.

There is no cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

JAR of Hope was born in 2013 when James and Karen Raffone’s 4-year-old son, James Anthony (Jamesy), was diagnosed with Duchenne.

The Raffones were told by doctors to “just love him and wait for him to die,” but they decided instead to search for a cure.

However, because Duchenne is so little known, raising funds to research the disease is a significant challenge, according to the press release.

“When we first formulated the idea for ‘Walk For Their Lives,’ our goal was to reach the $50,000 mark in donations.

Now Is Still A Great Time to Buy or Sell A Home!

Then we decided to challenge ourselves by raising the bar to $100,000. But the contributions along the walk from people who reached into their pockets even though they had never heard of Duchenne have really touched our hearts,” Jim Raffone said.

The walkers averaged 34 miles a day – some of it through pouring rain and cold temperatures – while carrying their own backpacks. They camped out at night, according to the press release.

Jamesy Raffone is now 11 and is still walking at an age when most children with Duchenne cannot. He is one of a group of children from the United States and abroad who are participating in a research study financed by JAR of Hope, in which they receive infusions of a substance called

JAR914, according to the press release.

So far, the results have been very promising, but the cost to the foundation is $35,000 a month, according to the press release.

Raffone said that was the reason for “Walk For Their Lives” – to finance research into the disease so that one day, no other parents will be told to “wait for him to die.”

“We are amazed at the generosity of people we met along the 260 miles, but for me, one of the most touching moments was when we got close to home. So many of our friends and neighbors were walking along with us to the finish line in Old Bridge,” he said.

in a motor vehicle accident at the location where trucks would make a left turn onto Business Route 33 after coming across the highway overpass.

“I just wish there could be other alternatives to using that turn,” she said.

Eileen Volpe said, “The reason we moved here was for safety, peace and quiet.

People are entitled to have safety in their lives, healthy air, and not to have trucks in their backyard.”

Marie Campbell said, “I’m terrified every time I leave my house (in the Village Grande) and get onto (Business) Route 33. We don’t need the monster trucks and emergencies happening” where the highway overpass meets Business Route 33.

Countryside Developers is seeking preliminary and final major site plan approval for the Manalapan Logistics Center from the Planning Board. The developer’s representatives have said there are no tenants lined up for the distribution center at this time.

The next hearing regarding the application is scheduled for Nov. 12.

points, he does not believe the DOT would approve a new traffic signal on Route 33 at the driveway of the distribution center.

During the discussion about vehicles entering and exiting the site and how those vehicles would travel in the vicinity of the distribution center, Mayor Jack McNaboe, who sits on the board, said, “We need to make sure this (project) fits in with the character of Manalapan. This is a big project and we are going to get it right.”

Several residents of the Village Grande offered comments about the proposed Manalapan Logistics Center when they were given the opportunity to address the board.

Jim Chirdo said his primary objection to the application is the proposed use of the Route 33 overpass and the impact on safety that will result from directing hundreds of trucks past the Village Grande, which is on Business Route 33.

Chirdo said he does not believe the validity of the trip generation numbers that have been presented by the applicant.

MANALAPAN – An applicant seeking to develop property on Route 33 in Manalapan has redefined the proposed Manalapan Logistics Center as a “distribution center.”

Countryside Developers Inc. is proposing to construct two buildings on an 86-acre property on Route 33 just east of Pegasus Boulevard. The buildings would be 294,560 square feet and 302,250 square feet in size.

The application is before the Manalapan Planning Board and discussion is expected to resume at the board’s Nov. 12 meeting, which will be conducted virtually during the ongoing 2020 coronavirus pandemic.

Instructions that describe how to attend the virtual meeting are posted on Manalapan’s municipal website.

The Countryside Developers application was the subject of an Oct. 15 hearing before the Manalapan Zoning Board of Adjustment, which was asked to interpret the municipal ordinance that applies to the property in the Special Economic Development zone.

The zoning board determined the Route 33 location can be a 100% warehouse use or a 100% distribution center use, but that it cannot have both uses at the same time.

The zoning board members defined a distribution center as a location where goods and materials may be stored and then distributed to retailers and wholesalers, but not to the end users of the products being distributed (i.e., not a parcel distribution location).

When the matter returned to the Planning Board on Oct. 22, attorney Salvatore Alfieri, who represents the applicant, said his client is proposing a 100% distribution center use in accordance with the zoning board’s determination.

After Alfieri clarified what developer Terry Sherman is proposing, testimony resumed on behalf of objectors to the application.

Attorney Michael Lipari, who represents one group of objectors, called Bahman Izadmehr to discuss aspects of the application relating to the number of vehicles that would be entering and exiting the site, and other points relating to vehicle movement.

Izadmehr said he believes, but is not

certain, that New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) staff would consider approving the construction of a new traffic signal on Route 33 at the driveway of the proposed distribution center.

He said the installation of a traffic light at that location would allow trucks exiting the distribution center to turn left onto Route 33 west and head toward the New Jersey Turnpike in Hightstown.

The movement of trucks at the proposed development location has been a significant point of discussion during the board’s consideration of the application.

At present, the applicant’s plan for trucks exiting the distribution center that want to head west on Route 33 is to travel east on the highway for about 1.5 miles and use an overpass to access Route 33 west.

That plan would require the trucks to travel a short distance on Business Route 33, an undivided two-lane road that leads back to Route 33 west heading toward the New Jersey Turnpike.

The trucks would pass the Village Grande residential community on Business Route 33 and residents of the Village Grande are objecting to that aspect of the application.

Izadmehr identified several concerns with the Route 33 overpass: could the overpass handle the volume of trucks coming from the distribution center; the overpass is one lane and if a disabled truck blocks the lane of travel, how would emergency vehicles pass the disabled vehicle; the noise level where the overpass intersects Business Route 33, which is near homes; and the motor vehicle accident history at the intersection of the overpass and Business Route 33.

Izadmehr said he “would not rely on that (Route 33) overpass to have trucks get back to the New Jersey Turnpike. My major concern with this (distribution center) project is access to and from the site.”

Alfieri called traffic engineer John Rea to discuss aspects related to trip generation (vehicles entering and exiting the project location).

Rea said what is now proposed as a distribution center would produce fewer trips in and out than what had previously been discussed for a “warehouse” project.

In response to Izadmehr’s comments about a new traffic signal on the highway, Rea said that based on several technical

Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech You from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand Your power. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee (3 times).

Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Say this prayer for three consecutive days. You must publish it, and it will be granted to You.
