5 fallen tree narrowly missed his son walking by, by seconds. • The Crystal Point Association then removed the rotten trees and cleaned out the debris and leaves in the ditch leading to those pipes that go under Eagle Ridge Way from their parcel and since then Eagle Ridge Way has not flooded. • In November of 2023, Hudson Essex Passaic Soil Conservation District (HEPSCD) inspectors made several visits to the site and directed their project manager to cause the drainage ditch to be cleared of debris and rip rap added to the ditch • The SCD issued a deficiency notice memorializing this directive. • Mr. Cohn then directed Grabowski to clean the debris and add rip rap which was done in December 2023. • As Grabowski cleaned the ditch moving from the front of 40 Eagle Ridge Way to the back, that is west to east, he came across the twin 12-inch pipes that were there historically at the eastern of the ditch before it headed down the mountain. • These pipes were severely damaged in multiple areas where water flowed through them, under them, and around them. • Grabowski took the SCD direction to clean debris to include replacing the broken pipes which was down with a new 36 concrete elliptical pipe. • The use of an elliptical pipe was so that instead of water gushing out of circular 12-inch pipes like a fire hose, it would come out slower mitigating any erosion. • With the Crystal Point cleaning out their parcels and the SCD direction to clean out the ditch, install rip rap, and replacement of the damaged pipes, the upstream water from Crystal Point and Eagle Ridge Way along with increase drain of flowing down the drainage ditch without the previous impediments. • Also, there is a tributary path flowing south to north into the replacement concrete pipe from the narrow Llewellyn Park parcel that runs at the top of the mountain behind 42 Eagle Ridge Way and then down into Llewellyn Park. • What has been repeatedly inspected and confirmed by SCD in writing is “HEPSCD has not observed overflow from the infiltration system during our inspection.” • The newly installed seepage system is working as intended and no water, even during storms, have been observed coming from the emergency overflow located 50 feet north of the replacement concrete pipes outflow. • Not withstanding that the township approved and inspected the functioning seepage tank system and none of the

the emergency overflow located 50 feet north of the replacement concrete pipes outflow. • Not withstanding that the township approved and inspected the functioning seepage tank system and none of the approved work, the pool house and the pool, was causing runoff into the ditch. • As an interim measure, while Colliers was developing the major site development storm water plans, over the past summer, Colliers proposed to install an output flow control system that would turn the 36-inch concrete elliptical pipe into a twin 10 inch, thereby slowing the flow of water down the ditch. • The town rejected this proposal and directed Colliers to continue working on the major site plan. BOARD QUESTIONS • Mayor McCartney asked about the infinity pool at the edge of the eastern part of the property, would the steep slope ordinance take effect with the pool. Mr. Cohn said the pool is not at the edge of the property, there is approx. 100 feet from the infinity edge to the eastern edge of the property. • Mr. Alper asked is the boulder wall temporary. Mr. Cohn said the currently existing boulder wall is supposed to be temporary. It acts as temporary ensuring to install the approved seepage tanks. Under the new proposed plan, it is going to be reduced in size by
