Diane Hooper inquired about the
meeting last night with Mr. Broscious and the
discussion on the Oxtech site. Mr. Accetturo
explained that The Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) gives you a
“footprint” with what you can work with –
all the different restrictions. . The site is 300
acres with approximately 50 acres of build able
property. Dave Roberts, Planner with Schoor DePalma
will help the township with the redevelopment
process. Mr. Lazorisak stated that last night’s
meeting was very productive with but there still is
a long way to go. Mike Lavery, Dave Roberts and the
Committee will review the agreement before any
decision is made.
Mr. Accetturo stated that there
are issues that must be changed: first the sewer
service area. They must amend the sewer service
agreement filed with the State of New Jersey because
now they are not in the sewer service district. At
this time they have their own plant, which must be
decommissioned and become a part of Oxford’s Sewer
System. Another process they must go through with
the State of New Jersey since the plant is no longer
being used is to identify any issues of
contamination. Mrs. Riley stated that the Township
has the right to name the developer for this
property.
Mr. Lazorisak thanked Mrs. Riley
