SALUTE TO THE FLAG
REQUEST CHARLES KRAFCZEK – DUNE DRIVE DEVELOPMENT REQUEST
Charles Krafczek of Dune Drive Development Group, LLC appeared before Council to request to be
allowed to have a temporary overhead electric service installed at the new construction 213 – 105th
Street from now until January 1, 2016. The location on 105th is currently under a moratorium for a
street opening and that would be needed to run underground electric service to the property, The fee for
the underground service has already been paid in full, $8,991. This property is scheduled to be sold on
October 2, 2015 but the sale cannot be completed without a certificate of occupancy which cannot be
obtained without electric to the property. He asked Council to approve the overhead service and he will
have the underground service installed immediately January 2, 2016 when the moratorium at this
location expires. There was some discussion about letting him go underground at this point but the
Solicitor reminded everyone that there is a procedure in the Ordinance to follow for this request.
Councilmember Carusi spoke about letting him go underground at this point, since there are only a few
months left in the moratorium

\PRESENTATION – ATLANTIC ELECTRIC – PEERMONT PROJECT
COUNCILMEMBER LANE MADE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT
Mr. Stranix has brought forth questions that need to be answered prior to this
project beginning in S.H. Due to his professional education & experience, I
would like him & Mr. DeBlasio to conduct most aspects of this meeting. If any
questions remain unanswered then Mr. Dallahan & Mr. Wear can put their
concerns up for discussion.
I believe we all have to recognize that none of us will get the whole pie in this
venture, but we will get more than a slice.
My primary concern is for the protection of the homeowner. How will they be
protected? How will they be made whole in the event of a problem and
please don’t talk to me about liability bonds. We are dealing with homes here
and these residents cannot be put out of their homes while repairs are made
Regular Meeting, September 15, 2015
without compensation, nor can they fight through a system of meetings,
litigation & on & on in order to press their claim. They cannot be reimbursed
for assessed value when we all realize the value of our homes is in our land.
They must be made whole with replacement value for a similar size home.
We need a statement in writing that when claims are verified (& a time frame
for that must be established) their claims will be fast tracked---no Sandy
victim delays.
All homes in your work area (complete area) must be photographed inside &
outside. Homeowner will take time stamped photos at the same time.
We have over 100 certified vintage homes in S.H. 47 of them are in your work
area. Of the 47 1 was built in 1940, 1-1951, 2-1952, 1 -1956, 1-1962 for a
total of 6 homes. The remaining were all built in the early 1900’s.
What real measures have you taken to prevent the excessive vibration you
are forecasting from damaging these homes? What about sinkholes
appearing several years after you withdraw water from beneath these homes
that are not built on pilings? The vibration tolerance limit set by the Bureau
of Mines hardly seems applicable based on this situation.
Borough Engineer Marc DeBlasio stated he understands the following was decided at the meeting
earlier today. Several concerns were brought up and he understands ACE has agreed to either provide
or capitulate to all the comments or requests today. Specifically we had asked ACE if the drilling
operation could be moved from 95th Street to across the channel and we were told that was,in fact an
option , there would be some other negative impacts that would occur as part of that “flip flop” but that
was an option. Second, there was a request to make sure there would be vibration monitoring completed
during the work on 95th Street as well as pre-inspection of buildings both interior and exterior, they
agreed to do that as well, also agreed to provide some independent appraisals of properties in front of
some of the home impacted by large poles , we also requested under technical , a geotechnical fund to
insure that any dewatering operation that was going to occur as part of the work would not draw down
the water table in such a manner that is would consolidate soils which could lead to possible settlement
and damage to homes, they have agreed to provide a geotechnical report completed by a professional
engineer and also agreed to employ technics and methods that would reduce vibration or mitigate
impacts from construction as well as looking at trying to redesign some aspects of the job so they
wouldn’t be digging as deep for some of their structures. Marc thought these were large positive steps
in the right direction, lot of technical questions were answered and there appeared to be a lot of
cooperation from ACE on our requests.
Administrator Gougher stated the only other thing was a discussion that some of the property owners
in the immediate area where they were originally going to pull the wires up , there was some requests
from property owners for possible temporary relocation, ACE did indicate that they had a request from
one individual that they were working with and any others should reach out Friday, from 1-4 ACE is
scheduling “one on one” meetings and the residents should reach out if they want to discuss that.
PUBLIC
Frank Dallahan 378 – 95th Street had a list of questions from neighbors, which included date of issuance
of the ACE fact sheet, and who received it. Ronnie Town ACE fact sheet was distributed at POA
meeting June 16th and put on Borough website. Mr. Dallahan also had questions about the growth in
electrical consumption, how wooden poles fair in storms, approvals from NJDEP and Army Corp. ACE
said they have a blanket, general permit. There were also questions about cost of running underground
the entire length of 95th street, environmental impact statement been reviewed, and is there something
in writing concerning property damage.
George Keiser 358 – 95th Street submitted a list of questions to Administrator. Wants the extra cost to
bury the lines, poles are too high, impact value of houses and not look good. Could we run the poles
down the islands on Second Avenue to keep them further away from the houses. No written
communication from the Borough on this project.
Bill Patterson 407 – 96th Street with LED technology, changes in projects, reduce power needs, do a
study LED vs incandescent. This is more energy efficient. Suggest you ask ACE is what is the demand
Regular Meeting, September 15, 2015
going to be given this technology. These new poles do not match what is stated in the Master Plan for
Stone Harbor.
Rich Falco 118th & Second asked the Council when to we do anything cheaper in Stone Harbor. We
have affluent community and this is a tragedy to propose industrial poles down the center of our
community. We cannot allow this just because it is cheaper and the Council has to stop it. It is in the
interest of this community to make sure the integrity of this community stays in tack.
Vince Lamanna Golden Gate states we need to know the costs involved and he has Tom Markle, Mimi
Shop owner as a client and is concerned about the building at 95th & Second Avenue which is over 100
years old. They are concerned about the vibration and the effects of it on the building.
Patti DiMarco 364 – 93rd Street asked if was any problems with the streets in town that have
underground wiring and asked about the difference between distribution and transmission lines.
Craig Rothman 6896 Ocean Drive Avalon, affected by this project. Understands every wooden pole in
this project will be replaced by a steel pole, 70 feet high and don’t know what girth. Wants a description
of each pole that is going in so we can get an idea of what the appearance will be.
Rich Falco we just heard there is back up systems so the doom and gloom about us losing power mid
Summer for 30 days is simply doom and gloom. Doing this overhead is not about maintenance but
about cost. This is a legacy project, this is going to be your signature project do you really want these
industrial poles going down Second Avenue.
Douglas Wear 370 – 95th Street asked ACE if the wooden poles that will be replaced, are they presently
carrying lines from Verizon and Comcast? Will ACE be moving the Verizon and Comcast lines over to
the new steel poles or will that be up to them to move them. Answer they must move their own wires
but the poles are predrilled for their facilities. Had multiply meetings with them about this project.
Laura Wilson 9613 Seng Place trying to understand, did we look at all the options and the costs. What
are the cost for underground.
Elaine Intenzo 348 – 95th Street stated this is overwhelming just wants to understand how it is going to
work, we need to be made aware of what the costs are before we can make a decision. What happens
after everyone says all this? Simplify how this is going to work.
Bernadette Parczych 9925 Sunset stated there are transfer taxes imposed in the state of NJ suddenly in
2004 a mansion tax, and if Stone Harbor had some sort of a tax on transfers, there was about 150
million in real estate sold last year. There is a whole realm of ways that this could be paid for other than
raising taxes. Is there any way to stop this so you can study it figure out how to pay for the alternative.
Michael Pepitone 9500 Sunset just happen to see a neighbor who mentioned there is a meeting tonight.
And is looking for information about this project. Got the August 10th letter and called but couldn’t get
info on the phone. Seems strange don’t know anything about it. Represent my interest and protect me.
Bob Rich 10410 Sunset Drive asked if it was possible to hang the new wire 69 KV on the existing
infrastructure. He was told those poles are not designed to support those kinds of conductors, not a
solution we would be comfortable with having in place. He asked how many poles on Second Avenue
have we lost, can’t recall any. It appears Stone Harbor is only using 80% of its capacity.
Vince Lamanna asked what is next in the procedure.
Bill Patterson asked what the process will be from here on.
Frank Dallahan asked if the underground could be done a little at a time.
Ronnie Town ACE announced they will be here at Borough Hall Friday from 1-4 for questions. Call her
to make an appointment.

PUBLIC SAFETY
Public Safety Committee Report
Sept 15, 2015
The PS Com met on Thurs, 10 Sept, at 9:00 AM w all members present w the exception of Deb Scott &
Ken Hawk.
The following are the highlights of that meeting & for a complete report , see the SH website.
Courts
Our newly appointed Judge Neidig has resided over two full court sessions lasting about 1 1/2 hours & going
very well. The Courts are finishing the last of the summer session w no major issues to report.
OEM
Nothing to report
Fire / EMS
Chief Stanford reports Aug was a very busy month as is the year. To date there have been 83 more fire calls
than in 2014 & an additional 69 EMS calls
than in 2014. Most of the additional calls were due to SH providing mutual aid to Avalon while their fire truck
was out of service. Otherwise the number of calls this year has been consistent w 2014. Of note, other calls
include a building fire, cooking fires, beach EMS water rescues, & Medevac.
The Chief also expressed concern w parking for his fire fighters due to the partial closure of the parking lot
due to the library construction. The construction workers have been instructed to park on the free lot & Chief
Reynolds offered to facilitate additional parking in emergency situations by use of the travel lanes in the 100
block of 96th st .
The recent house fire last Mon on Golden Gate Dr required over 2000 ft of fire hose to be laid due to the
small water main on the st not providing sufficient water pressure. Public Works has advised our Utilities
committee as to the need to provide an upgrade to the system. Apparently this is the last remaining area in
the Boro that has insufficient water pressure required for fire fighting. Since this house is a bay front home &
the fire originated on the rear deck by the water, it further demonstrated the need for a replacement for our
fire boat which is out of service. At our last PS Com meeting, Chief Stanford was authorized to proceed to
survey the market for fire fighting / water rescue capabilities. To that end, the Chief is dispatching two
firemen to Tampa, Fl to review a manufacturer as to it's capabilities & cost.
The Fire dept is in need of a new SUV. The dept is proposing to it's members that the vehicle be
purchased, paid, & titled to the Fire dept. The cost of the vehicle, a Chevy Tahoe, is about $36k.
Police
Chief Reynolds advised the PS Com that Mr Ron Workman, representing the SHPOA, has offered to assist
our police dept in reviewing the present guidelines for safety in the bike lanes. Sgt. Palmer was assigned by
the Chief to do a study of the present signage, the creation of safety brochures, interaction of bikers,
walkers, joggers, etc in the bike lanes. The goal is to finalize the draft w concurrence of the PS Com &
receive council approval if required this fall & to have an improved guideline in place for next season.
Dale Foster to be contacted to change out the ballisters from the present orange color to a reflective off
white color.
Chief Reynolds reported the resignation of Officer Brent Grunow who has taken a full time position w the
police in his home town of Galloway Twnshp.
PS Com is reviewing the proposal to o the final detailed plans for the police bldg. The goal is to complete all
the prep work this year to be in position early next year, after the 2016 capital budget is approved, to begin
construction on the bldg.
Museum Report
Will report after the next Museum board meeting which is scheduled for this Thurs.
Planning Board Report
Last meeting was held on Mon, 24 Aug at 7:00pm.
The single topic of the meeting was the review of the proposed renovation & upgrade of the Harbor Inn
motel located at 9700 2nd ave.
The application was denied by a 4/3 vote due to Ordinance 1467 not permitting over night parking in a
residentially zoned parking lot from the hours of 11pm to 7am vs the applicant's desire to do so.
As you are aware, this council amended Ordinance 1467 at the Sept 1 council meeting.
Regular Meeting September 15, 2015

BEACH, RECREATION AND TOURISM
Monthly Report
Tuesday, September 15, 2015
The regular meeting of the Beach, Recreation and Tourism Committee was held on Tuesday,
September 8. The regular monthly meetings of the Recreation Advisory Board resumed on
Monday, September 14. The RAC does not meet in July and August. The Board usually meets on
the first Monday of the month however due to the Labor Day holiday it was changed to the 2nd
Monday.
BEACH
The beach remained guarded through Sunday, September 13 which is usual and customary for our
beach patrol. The Beach Patrol Captain will now oversee the securing of equipment and the patrol
headquarters for the winter months.
Beach tag sales showed an increase of 6% over 2014 – a total of $44, 989
The committee will be reviewing the below practices and ordinances over the winter months:
Weddings on the Beach…seating for over 100 people and amplified music was observed on Sunday
of Labor Day weekend on 96th Street Beach at 4:00pm.
Catamaran/Hobie Cats/Kayaks at the 123rd Street Beach…many spaces reserved for catamarans are
not rented or are rented and then used for kayaks. We are considering allowing kayak permits to
replace catamaran permits on the north side of the concession stand.
RECREATION
September recreation schedule is posted on the Borough website.
Playgrounds:
Chelsea Park – received five bids on September 9. All came in at minimum of $80,000 over
budget. Bids will be rejected and re-bid with changes on October 6, 2015
82nd Street Playground – installation of fencing (final stage) will begin on October 26.
Tennis Court Upgrades – going out to bid on October 6, 2015
Skate Park:
This area generated $375 in revenue in 2015. Recreation Director reports it is rarely used.
The equipment is in need of maintenance and some pieces need to be replaced. Committee
feels this area should be utilized in another fashion. We are discussing using this area for
the highly popular outdoor fitness classes held seven days a week in the summer months.
The Recreation Director reports that using the basketball courts is detracting from the
equally popular basketball programs.
Halloween:
Residents who are here and would like trick or treaters are asked to contact the Recreation
Department. Families will be provided with a list of participants . Each house will be given
a sign (Halloween ornament of sorts) to display on their lawn for easy identification.
Halloween is on a Saturday this year so we hope to get more homes participating. The POA
will have a sign up sheet at Savor September to help get the word out.
Regular Meeting September 15, 2015
Winter Fitness Challenge:
Details in the making and to be announced
TOURISM
The Borough’s next big event is the Island Holiday on Thanksgiving Weekend
Savor September, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, is this weekend (September 19). The
weather forecast is good so please come on out!
SPECIAL EVENTS APPLICATIONS
The Committee will be reviewing this process (again) over the winter. It is our thought that
requiring full council approval at meeting is causing delays and additional work/review of
department heads. The suggestion is that the BRT chair and Borough Administrator approve
following review by involved department heads. BRT chair will report on all approved events at
the second meeting of the month. Changes to the existing ordinance outlining the process will be
brought forward to full council prior to the end of 2015.

homes being built. Not enough time from permit filing to notification of
Utilities Dept. to allow us to purchase parts at the best cost.
