where is it located & what  st & corner vicinity?  did he just build it & does he & the wife live in it now or is it new & unoccuppied?  one faamilyon 2 fl or 2 family?

Anyone who owns a 50 X 100 foot lot in a TWO FAMILY ZONE can apply to the Planning Board to subdivide the loy into TWO 25 x 100 FOOT LOTS, and build a two family home on each lot. It's the law according to our zoning ordinance. There is nothing wrong with what the Powell's did, anyone in town owning this property could do the same and no one could stop them, We do live in America!

The Powell's jointly and individually have helped this Town of ours through dedication and hard work. How can you have the b*lls to say that they did anything illegal. You should have the guts to reveal yourself, so we know who the idiot is. Have some guts whimp!!!! Speak your name.

The problem is the lot was not 100/50.

The little Birdie WAS WRONG! You can easily check the deeds with the official records. Or even take a tape measure and measure the front and rear of the property. Each 2 family built here is 25 X 100. END OF STORY.

IS THERE AN 'OUTSIDE' HIGHER STATE DEPT THAT HE & THE MATTER CAN BE REPORTED TO if the lot was less than the 110/50 that the law allowed?

Can't a board, made up of Dems & Repubs 'INVESTIGATE' THE MATTER, TO SEE IF HE FOLLOWEDC THE LEGAL ORDINANCES OF THE LAW OR NOT?

where are all of the do-gooders who complain of all of the 'irregularities' that they claim to see the 'present' administration commiting? Are they calling & writng or e-mailing into Trenton to investigate this 'matter'?

What ADDRESS , TELEPHONE & E-MAIL SHOULD THEY TELL IT TO?

We know what the tax records indicate. That is part of the problem, the lots are not the size indicated by the tax records. That's what needs to be investigated.

Alot of funny business has gone on with 2 family approvals at the Planning Bd., I hear agencies are looking at the undisclosed financial relationship of a member who it appears may have used his public office to benefit a family member in his role at the Board and in code enforcement. It is only a matter of time.

Guest FACTS

To make room for soccer team, businesses are getting the boot

Monday, May 21, 2007

By N. CLARK JUDD

JOURNAL STAFF WRITER

HARRISON - Skipper, the office mascot for Infinite Sign Industries, looked worried.

Feathers akimbo as he perched almost pensively on the edge of his cage, the African gray parrot watched his owner, ISI General Manager Phil Morgan, as he discussed his company's upcoming move to Irvington. Like the rest of ISI's staff, Skipper will be out of his cage in the company's 30,000-square-foot Harrison space by June 15, by order of State Superior Court Judge Maurice J. Gallipoli. HOW DOES ONE BECOME A STATE SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE?

And even that time, a 30-day extension on a 90-day advance notice of eviction given by ISI's new landlord, the Harrison Redevelopment Authority, is a blessing: originally, Morgan said, ISI was supposed to move out last week.

The HRA is evicting ISI and several other businesses located in the 275-acre swath of Harrison to make room for a massive redevelopment project that includes a new soccer stadium for the Red Bull New York team, townhomes, street-level retail and parking facilities on the premise that the project will revitalize the town's waterfront. The area is largely vacant, with canyons of old warehouses either empty or converted to parking lots catering to Harrison's commuter population.

But it also is - or was - a place of business for people like Morgan, who say the town of Harrison is making the wrong move by giving them the heave-ho.

"The mayor says this redevelopment plan will create jobs," Morgan said. "But he's not mentioning how many jobs are being destroyed in the process." ISI employs 50 people ranging from designers and engineers to factory workers his company has trained to use its high-tech fabrication equipment.

Just a few blocks away, Manny Amaral, a Portuguese immigrant, may lose several automotive businesses he first opened on Frank E. Rodgers Boulevard 26 years ago. He began with an auto repair shop and expanded over the years to include commuter parking for the nearby PATH station and an automotive dealership that began by selling used Fords and Toyotas in 2005, but now features Audis and BMWs in its front lot.

Amaral lost a court battle contesting the HRA's right to take his property. Another appeal in the case is pending.

Because the litigation is ongoing, attorneys for Adler, Amaral and the HRA all declined further comment. Harrison's mayor, Raymond J. McDonough, did not return phone calls Friday.

A good solution would be to pass this resolution, via petition; allow these property owners/ business owners to have a seat, at a negotiation table. They invested in Harrison long before these developers. Let’s make sure these developers take care of Harrisonians.

They just want to be able to be part of a Great Harrison. thru Propper Development. They would settle for condo style space, or an open, public offer. NOTHING TO HIDE!

Do you know? What is this redevelopment like?

Televise these meetings. All meetings.

Why are you hiding?

No one is against Developing Harrison, but who is making out?

Thru the Faulkner Act** (petition to the governing body, & ultimately the people with referendums (public vote). If Harrisonians vote to create a resolution, they can: prevent Eminent Domain Abuse; stadium requirements for Harrison; or put cameras in every town meeting.

The people of Harrison should be able to watch over those who they put in office; Preventing "Behind the Scenes"!

Harrisons, Government

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT

New Jersey is divided into 566 incorporated municipalities for

purposes of local government; there are no unincorporated areas.

New Jersey has a strong “home rule” history — a reliance on county

and municipal government to meet the needs of its citizens. Even so,

the right to govern resides at the state level and state statutes delegate

powers to municipalities. Within the parameters set by the legislature,

municipalities determine their form of government. A municipality’s

name (city, borough, township, town or village) is not necessarily an

indication of its form of government. All municipalities have a policymaking

body (council, committee, commission or board of trustees)

and a mayor as formal executive (in village form the title is president).

The relationship between mayor and policy-making body varies with

the form of municipal government. Communities may have an elected

executive to manage day-to-day affairs or an appointed administrator.

Municipalities may elect officials at-large, by wards or a combination of

the two in either partisan or nonpartisan elections.

There are eleven specific forms of municipal government in the

statutes, seven based on historical forms of local government and four

based on the Faulkner Act. The two most used forms of municipal

government which are not Faulkner Act plans are the borough and the

township forms of government.

H The borough system is a weak mayor and council system with

partisan elections; council performs most legislative and executive

functions. This form of local government is used by 39 percent of the

municipalities.

H The township form consists of a three to five member township

committee usually elected at-large in partisan elections. At its

organizational meeting the committee selects one of its elected

members to be mayor and preside at meetings. This form of local

government is used by 27 percent of municipalities.

H City, town, village, commission and council-manager systems are

used by less than 13 percent of municipalities.

The Optional Municipal Charter Law or Faulkner Act offers four

basic plans (mayor-council, council-manager, small municipality and

mayor-council-administrator) and two procedures by which the voters

of a municipality can adopt one of the plans. Twenty-one percent of

53

municipalities in New Jersey including the six most populous cities,

Newark, Jersey City, Camden, Trenton, Paterson, and Elizabeth, govern

under the Faulkner Act. It provides many choices for communities with

a preference for a strong executive and professional management of

municipal affairs. It also offers initiative, referendum and recall of

elected officials to the citizens.

H The mayor-council plan gives the mayor strong powers. Municipalities

under this plan establish three to ten executive departments, headed

by a director appointed by the mayor with the consent of the council.

H The council-manager plan places complete responsibility for

municipal affairs in the council. The council appoints a municipal

manager who is the chief executive with broad authority.

H The small municipality plan can be adopted by communities with a

population of fewer than 12,000. All legislative powers are vested in

the council with the mayor presiding over council sessions and having

both voice and vote.

H The mayor-council-administrator system is basically the borough form

with an appointed professional administrator added.

If the tax records are wrong, that would be illegal. They are not wrong, but correct and nothing illegal has occurred or the protester would have gone to the authorities! They did not so figure it out. The lots are the regulation size 25X100.

Alot of funny business has gone on with 2 family approvals at the Planning Bd., I hear agencies are looking at the undisclosed financial relationship of a member who it appears may have used his public office to benefit a family member in his role at the Board and in code enforcement. It is only a matter of time.

No funny business has occurred with two family approvals at the Planning Board.

All meetings are held in public, according to the sunshine law! As far as a member benefiting a family member: ALL MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO ABSTAIN FROM ANY AND ALL APPLICATIONS OF FAMILY MEMBERS AND EVEN GOOD FRIENDS, WHEREVER AND WHENEVER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST MAY OCCUR. Regarding Code Enforcement, the Board has absolutely no say in this. Code enforcement is in the Construction Dep't. there is no connection between them and the Planning Board. SORRY NO CIGAR, you should get your facts straight. All meetings are advertised and open to the public, perhaps it would be a good idea to attend and see what these volunteers do. They are guided by an attorney, engineer, and planner.

No decisions are made without the professionals input and suggestions being incorporated into the decisions! You'll see when these agencies complete their investigations that nothing has occurred that was not legal.

The bottom line is that this is a real shame that people are being removed from their homes and places of business. Why not just build on empty land? Why do you have to build where there is already a home or business? It's just not right.

Getting both side of the story is what you should do.

JUST A BEHIND THE SCENE DEAL OR TWO!

Perhaps you should try volunteering or attending meetings. It's a shame you are so skeptical, it must be some way to live.

The vast majority of the land is old dillapadated buildings, that sit on contaiminated land that the owners were unwilling to fix up or clean up.

These properties were underutilized and didn't return their fair share of taxes to the town. Unfortunatly, there are a few homes in the continuious area that had to be affected for the Redevelopment to be successful.

The town hired a planner in 1997 and started the process in 1998 to Redevelope these 275 acres for the survival of the town and it's resident's. When completed people will realize that the Redevelopment is good for all. Harrison will only be a better place to reside and do business!

No one is against a redevelopment. A properly planned one.

Unfortunatly, there are a few homes in the continuious area that had to be affected for the Redevelopment to be successful.
They can't try to work with some of these people? Publisize the meetings and the "Behind the scene deals" Many Amaral wants to develop his own Land, who else? The Spanish Pavillion, Mr Steven Adler,... Are there may more?? a Dozen? at most.

Let your self be intimidated, closed minded, to believe the lies spread may make you sleep easier at night, but open your eyes to reality. All accross the USA people are complaining about Eminent Domain Abuse. STOP IT HERE IN HARRISON. SIGN MILLAN'S PETITION, LET THE COUNCIL VOTE AND/OR PUT IT TO REFERANDUM.
