At the Board’s request, Mayor Spalding attended our July meeting. The following Township officials were also in attendance: Fire Marshal, Craig Snedaker, Sergeant Kloos from the Police Department and Dick Fowler from the Public Works Department. The Township was obviously well represented. The main reason for requesting the Mayors presence was to encourage the Township to complete the fire lane markings on Riverbend Drive and install the necessary signage. We were promised that this will take place on September 4th. The Police department will post notices on Riverbend Drive in advance of that date, and the North Brunswick Police, according to the Mayor, will tow any vehicles that remain on the road on September 4th.

The Township will also be requiring that the association paint yellow “No Parking Fire Lanes” down the sides of each court and post sign age in order to ensure that fire trucks will have clear access in the event of an emergency.

A number of other issues were discussed including dog violations. These include the roaming of unleashed dogs/cats on the property, and irresponsible pet owners who refuse to clean up after their animals. Their suggestions were invaluable.

We further reviewed the court parking problems with them. We will be considering, and most likely be implementing, a permit parking procedure in the community. This will allow each home to park ONE vehicle in the courts. The police will monitor this as Title 39 was passed in the community a number of years ago. Title 39 gives the police the authority to ticket and tow vehicles in the courts that are in violation.

The Township has also promised to work with us where the association has reason to believe that either a home is being sub-leased by more than one entity, or where the number of occupants exceeds the Township Ordinance.

The meeting was very productive from the association’s standpoint, and we have agreed to continue to have ongoing communication with the Township officials on a quarterly basis.
