the issues outlined in his memorandum; he stated the Applicant did not submit the additional materials. He stated that he had not seen the entire (prior) subdivision plan or known the real status of the private access road. He stated the Application now appeared to be a major subdivision. Chairman Bagoff stated the fear of any Chair is that a decision be reversed; he stated that under the law this issue had come before the Board previously. He stated he had spoken to Mr. Dwyer in the past about the matter of an Applicant notice to townhouse communities. He stated the entire lot must be noticed; it was one contiguous area. He stated it was better for all concerned parties to err on the side of caution than to be reversed. He stated that at this time, the notice was defective and the Applicant needed to re-notice, and also provide the Board with information regarding the steep slope and drainage issues as required as part of a major subdivision not previously submitted to the Township Planner when the Application was originally filed. Mr. Grygiel stated the Board Engineer did not review the Application when originally filed; it appeared to be a very straightforward minor subdivision. It was not until quite later when issues arose, that the Board Engineer reviewed the Application and has not yet had the opportunity to do a full review of the issues. Mr. Schatzman stated that the Applicant did submit additional materials to the Board Secretary in response to Mr. Grygiel’s memorandum. The Secretary confirmed materials had been submitted; they were forwarded to Mr. Grygiel (on 8/20/2018 and 9/13/18). Chairman Bagoff reiterated the notice was defective; the Applicant was to re-notice. The Applicant was to provide the Township Planner, Board Attorney and Board Engineer were provided with the appropriate information. Chairman Bagoff closed the hearing on the matter.
