First order of business: June Meeting
Minutes
The June minutes were unanimously
approved; motion by John Jackson, second by Bernice
Shapiro.
Second order of
business: Public Health Report
The Board members received the monthly report for June, 2004. Pearson Education opened up without notifying
John. The kitchen had been open for
about one month. They have corrected the
issues John cited pursuant to his inspection.
John has an issue with the snack bar at Cranbury Swim Club. They are making more food than last year and he
notified them that they need to install a three compartment sink in the kitchen
area. John was at Hannah and Mason’s
today; they would like to open mid-next week.
He still gave them a conditionally satisfactory rating for some minor
issues. He will revisit next Tuesday and
believes that they should have everything done by then. The Chairman asked if they dug up the
sidewalk to put in a new gas line. John
did not know but will ask about this next Tuesday. John inspected the pools at Four Seasons;
they knew that the inspection would not be satisfactory but it was required to
be conducted by contract. The pool is
now open but the spa is not. The Gentle
Healing Wellness Spa complaint concerns the use of towels and other linens more
than once without laundering. John
inspected and found this complaint to be without merit. John received a call from a Cranbury resident
who has a problem with his neighbor’s dog toileting on the dog owner’s
property, which abuts the complainant’s property. This issue will be included on the July
report.
Third order of business: Environmental
Report
The Board members
received the monthly report for June, 2004.
Mr. Donnelly reviewed the substance of the report for the Board. The Halsey Reed Road Site evaluation is
required because the owner wants to put an addition on his house and must put
in new septic. The
Fourth order of
business: Old Business
The Wright South soil blending issue, raised by a concerned citizen last
month, will be tabled until September.
The Board was provided with the Environmental Commission minutes
requested at the June meeting.
Fifth order of
business: New Business
The Chairman said that the landscaping
at the old Carter-Wallace site on Half-Acre road is overgrown and may create a
potential health hazard, i.e., rodents.
John will look into this.
Adjournment: There
being no further business before the Board, Chairman Hart stated that she would
entertain a motion to adjourn. The
motion was made by Bernice Shapiro and seconded by John Jackson. The vote was unanimous in favor of adjournment
and the meeting was concluded at
