2 THE CHAIRMAN: I would like to 3 welcome everybody to the June 10th
4 meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals.
5 Would everybody please stand for the
6 Pledge of Allegiance.
7 (Whereupon the Pledge of Allegiance
8 was said.)
9 THE CHAIRMAN: We have a fairly
10 lengthy agenda this evening due I think
11 largely to the fact that this is our last
12 meeting before the summer break. So,
13 we'll try to be as efficient as possible
14 in moving through the agenda.
15 I'm just going to run through the
16 agenda quickly for a couple of reasons.
17 One, if the applicant is here,
18 please so advise the board that you are
19 here and indicate that you're prepared to
20 proceed tonight so that in case there is
21 somebody who is not the public here or
22 watching on TV will not have to sit
23 through the whole agenda to find out
24 later on that you're not going to proceed
25 tonight.

2 The second issue that I need to
3 raise is that as you can see we have a
4 board of four tonight. Mr. Baker is not
5 able to be here tonight and will not be
6 here for any part of the meeting. The
7 consequence of that is a board of four
8 requires a vote of three for an
9 application to be approved. So, if the
10 applicant ends up with a two/two vote,
11 it's a denial. You need three out of the
12 four of us to get an approval. If we had
13 a full board, you would only need three
14 out of five of us. So, you are at a
15 slight disadvantage having a board of
16 four. Because of that situation you have
17 the option to adjourn until our next
18 meeting in September. So, I'm going to
19 run through the agenda to see if you're
20 here and if you're ready and I'm also
21 going to ask if you want to proceed
22 tonight with a board of four. You have
23 an absolute right not to proceed tonight
24 if you don't want to. If you do proceed,
25 you do so understanding that if there is

2 a two/two vote your application is
3 denied. I'll run the agenda quickly.
4 First application is 31 Stewart
5 Place. Mr. Salerno is here. Mr. Salerno
6 is going to proceed with a board of four.
7 Next one is 85 Tuckahoe Avenue.
8 Mr. Davis is here and ready to proceed
9 with a board of four? Mr. Davis is going
10 to proceed.
11 Next one is Prodigy Learning
12 Center. Is someone here for the
13 applicant? Yes. Are you going to
14 proceed with a board of four? That one
15 is going to proceed with a board of four.
16 Next one is 26 Arlington Road. Is
17 somebody here on that application?
18 Gentleman in the back. Are going to
19 proceed on that one with a board of four?
20 That one is going to proceed as well.
21 Next one is 144 Gaylor Road. Mr.
22 Cotugno, board of four? He is going to
23 proceed with a board of four.
24 Next one is 6 Wildwood Road. Is

3 board of four?
4 Ms. Rivera: Yes.

6 Corwood Road, is somebody here on that?

9 proceed.
10 Next one is 19 Hilltop Road, is
11 somebody here? Yes. That application
12 will proceed with a board of four.
13 Next one, 141 Hillside Place. Mr.
14 Bauman. Mr. Bauman is going to proceed
15 with a board of four.
16 Next one, 603 California Road.
17 This gentleman here. You'll proceed with
18 a board of four? That one will proceed.
19 Next one, and I believe the final
20 one, yes, it is, 146 Summerfield Street.
21 Mr. Cotugno. He will also proceed with a
22 board of four.
23 So, the entire agenda will go
24 forward tonight with a board of four. We
25 have one adjourned item that will

2 continue until at least our September
3 meeting and that's Application 08-10, 165
4 Oakland Avenue. So, if you're here for
5 Oakland Avenue or watching about Oakland
6 Avenue that one will not go forward
7 tonight.
8 Final item before we go to the
9 first application would be the approval
10 of our minutes from our May 13th meeting.
11 Is there a motion to approve the minutes?
12 MR. PILLA: So moved.
13 THE CHAIRMAN: Moved by Mr. Pilla.
14 Is there a second?
15 MR. BORDUCCI: Second.
16 THE CHAIRMAN: Second by Mr.
17 Borducci. All in favor.
18 (All aye.)
19 THE CHAIRMAN: The minutes from the
20 May meeting are approved and we're ready
21 to proceed with the first application,

2 Chairman, members of the board -- good
3 evening, rather, Rocco Salerno, attorney
4 for the applicants, Rocco and Helen Reese
5 and with me this evening is Helen Reese.
6 THE CHAIRMAN: Where we left off,
7 if I am correct, you presented at our
8 last meeting. Given the length of time
9 between the last presentation and when it
10 left the board in the fall, we had asked
11 and the building department had asked the
12 applicant to re-notice for tonight so
13 that the neighborhood would have notice
14 of this hearing. You presented. We left
15 the public hearing open and we're back
16 again tonight.
17 MR. SALERNO: That's correct.
18 THE CHAIRMAN: Do you have anything
19 to add from to your presentation at this
20 point?
21 MR. SALERNO: No, I don't, Mr.
22 Chairman.
23 THE CHAIRMAN: If there is anything
24 from the public, we'll give you the last
25 word.
