Report of Superintendent: G. P. Cossabone, Sr.
Mr. Cossabone requested a Form B approval for Primrose at Monroe project.
A motion was made by Mr. Calloway and seconded by Mr. DiLolle to approve a Form B for Primrose at Monroe contingent upon the Engineers letter of March 4, 2008 and the review and approval of the plans by the Authority Superintendent. Mr. Fiore asked Mr. Federici to explain it to him. Mr. Federici said it was a proposed sub-division located behind CVS on Glassboro Cross Keys Road and Fries Mill Road approximately across from the golf course. He also said there were 206 units for senior citizens. He noted that the proposed water main system, will be tied into Stirling Glen I & II project. There is also a planned water main extension from the proposed booster tank to the CVS around the CVS and up Glassboro Cross Keys Road which will eventually be looped all the way through Glassboro Cross Keys Road to the Orchard Estates project and back out to Route #322. The pump station will direct flow into the force main on Fries Mill Road. He said it has been thoroughly reviewed by the Authority. Mr. Fiore asked if it was a 12 inch main. Mr. Federici said that it was a 16 inch main from the tank to Fries Mill Road down to CVS around CVS and up to Glassboro Cross Keys Road. Mr. Fiore asked if our mains would interfere with any state work that would be coming. Mr. Federici said that no because whenever the state does anything they always send the Authority a set of plans and note all the utilities on the plans and all cost is on the State. Mr. Fiore asked if we could supply the water. Mr. Federici said the water into the tank is coming from Glassboro and also the system. Mr. Fiore said he was looking for a guarantee that there will be enough water to supply these homes. He then asked if the State was going to allow the allocation. Mr. Federici said that this project was part of the Builders League and the NJ American water purchase so this is part of the master permit. Mr. Fiore asked Mr. Armano if he looked at it and He said that yes he had. Mr. Fiore said that unless Mr. Federici could guarantee 400 gallons per minute then he could not vote for it. The motion passed unanimously.
A motion was made by Mr. DiLolle and seconded by Mrs. Gledhill to adopt Resolution 34-08. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO SIGN ANY OF THE FORMS STIPULATED ON SAID RESOLUTION AND OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS TO BE SENT TO THE NJDEP FOR THE PRIMROSE AT MONROE PROJECT.
