DRIVEWAYS from traffic unit, including a possible restriction on left turns out of the site. As of now, the second proposed driveway -further east of Schuyler -- would be unrestricted but Neglia will also be looking at a possible restriction here for no left turns out of the site. The board also briefly talked about whether any type of barrier was needed to prevent any foul balls hit from the adjacent municipal recreation field from striking any vehicles or people at the development site. Esteves suggested the developer put up a fence but Minks said: “That’s not something we’d be interested in doing.” He said that since the ball field proxim-
ity is “a condition that exists now,” that the town should probably be the party to deal with it. Besides, Minks said, “I don’t know how effective a fence would be” in stopping foul balls. The board has previously discussed extending the baseball backstop as a possible remedy but came up with no solution. Russo has been granted approval by the town’s governing body for a 30-year PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) on the expansion project which will generate $170,406 for the town for the first year after it’s built and more afterward. Russo will also provide a onetime $125,000 contribution to the municipal
Affordable Housing Trust Fund and pave a section of potholestrewn Bergen, from Schuyler to the railroad trestle. The new project will supplement Russo’s Vermella Crossing development, just across the street, where six 3-story buildings to house 150 apartments – a combination of oneand two-bedroom units – and a clubhouse are nearing completion. For that part of the development, Russo will pay the town an annual PILOT beginning at $375,000 and rising over the 30-year life of the agreement, a yearly $2,500 administrative fee and a $150,000 Affordable Housing contribution.
Some advice on how the public can help improve air quality: • Turn off your motor vehicle’s engine and avoid unnecessary idling; 10 seconds of idling also uses more fuel than turning the engine off and then on again. • Keep tires properly inflated to increase your gas mileage. • Keep vehicles and heavy equipment properly tuned to increase engine efficiency. • If your vehicle’s check-engine light comes on, it could mean that the emission controls are not working properly. Take your vehicle in for service. • Get vehicles inspected on schedule. • Combine errands to reduce “cold starts.” • Choose a cleaner commute - car pools, public transportation, biking or walking when possible. • Keep your home thermostat at a reasonable temperature in the summer, and use timed thermostats. This reduces the load on power plants, thereby reducing the smog-
forming pollutants they emit. • Minimize yard work that involves power equipment (mowing, edging, mulching, and trimming) on high ozone days, or reschedule that work for good air quality days. • Use paints, solvents and cleaning products with little or no volatile organic compounds, preferably water-based products. • Avoid spray paints. Use paint brushes and rollers when possible. • Plan major painting, stripping and refinishing projects for spring and fall to avoid summer heat and sun. If you have to use solventbased products in the summer, limit their use to the evening and avoid high ozone days. • Tightly cap all solvents (paints, gasoline, paint thinners, strippers and degreasers) and store in a cool place to avoid evaporation.

Here’s how you can reduce air pollution TRENTON As part of its improving air quality in New Jersey, the Department of Environmental Protection has launched CleanAirNJ, a campaign designed to educate residents on steps they can take to reduce air pollution. A new website, www. CleanAir.NJ.gov, will serve as the cornerstone of the campaign. While New Jersey has, for the first time, met federal standards for fine particles, a pollutant that can seriously affect lung health, the state still does not meet the EPA’s standard for groundlevel ozone. This is due in large part to the large numbers of motor vehicles in the region. Ozone in the upper atmosphere helps protect the Earth from harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. But in the lower atmosphere, it is a respiratory irritant. People with respiratory conditions need to take precautions, such as staying indoors and limiting outdoors exercise, when ozone alerts are issued.
