Request to Expedite Pennsylvania Boulevard Properties Acquisition
A resident inquired about the progress on the Pennsylvania Boulevard properties acquisition and requested that the legal costs and acquisition be moved up in the 5-year capital improvement program timeline. The resident also proposed a joint acquisition discussion with the county and school district to potentially share costs and ensure properties are used for the benefit of the municipality's residents.
Ordinance to Define and Regulate Smoke Shops Reintroduced
Ordinance bill number 5-26 was reintroduced, aiming to amend Chapter 20 of the municipal code concerning zoning. The proposed amendment seeks to define 'smoke shops,' permit them as a conditional use in the C2 zoning district, and establish specific regulations for such establishments. The Planning Board reviewed the ordinance on April 21st and June 16th, 2026, recommending its adoption on the latter date. A public hearing for the ordinance is scheduled for July 14th, 2026.
Community Garden Fence Inadequate, Seeking Investment
A resident presented concerns about the community garden, particularly the inadequate fencing which fails to prevent deer, groundhogs, and rabbits from damaging crops. The resident detailed personal efforts and costs associated with temporary fencing and highlighted the rodent problem near compost piles. Estimates for a proper fence range from $16,425 for a woven wire and chicken wire fence with a gate to potentially $80,000 for more extensive work. The resident offered volunteer labor and fundraising support, emphasizing the garden's value to the community and its role in promoting sustainability.
Golf Course Improvements Praised, Staffing and Hazards Remain Concerns
A resident provided positive feedback on recent investments and improvements to the golf course, thanking the commission and manager for their support. Specific improvements mentioned include the leasing of robo equipment, tree work, and tee box markers, which have been well-received by golfers. The resident highlighted that these enhancements have fostered pride in the course and improved the playing experience. However, concerns were also raised about ongoing issues including staffing shortages, broken fencing on the fourth hole posing a hazard, and the need to complete tee leveling and marking projects professionally.
