[quote="concerned 1-q1sq"]This new Property Maintenance Code will be nothing but a royal pain that will pit neighbor against neighbor. The folks who formed this community are rolling in their graves at this absurdity. Whoever drafted this failed to read #116-1.Purpose which states "the purpose of the Property Maintenance Code is to protect the health,safety and welfare of the residents of the Township of Cranbury". What it really should state is that this is a Witch Hunt created by the geezers in Four Seasons against Mr. Cheney and Mr. Hagerty and the other Hysterical Commission whackos who have nothing better to do than make peoples lives miserable and cost them money with expensive mandates. The poor fellow who owns the Cranbury Service Center has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to get approvals for anything at all but the power brokers in town have kept him from doing anything.[and we have not had the rateable taxes] It is most unfortunate that all the newbies want Mayberry to be just picture perfect. If you look at those three properties they all could be developed properly if they had not been constrained by our local government. They all provided jobs and services to the community and now they have all given up because of their age or disabilities and are trying to sell those properties. I would suggest that in all fairness this code be sent to every taxpayer in town so they can read this new code. I would bet that I can find a violation at every committee members home. This code covers,grass,windows,fences,shrubs,rock piles,broken glass,building deterioration,storage of almost anything from vehicles to furniture most anything that most folks normally have at their home. I can assure you that this new code will be selectively enforced and depending on who you are, or who you know, you can be the target of this new code and you will have to negotiate with the Township Administrator who is to be the referee in this mess. As I see it this is just one more intrusion on our rights and freedom as hardworking taxpayers. One other point is that there is no mention of a farm exemption. Just wait until any one of the farmers gets cited because someone doesn't like the way his irrigation pipes are stacked or where his tractor is parked. Do you really think Roy would comply? Well I would suggest that everyone get a copy of this proposed code[too bad the town has not email it to us] and forward it to your neighbors and friends as they may end up on the violation list for things that they are doing that could be illegal soon! Remember do not vote for anyone who endorses this new code.[/quote]

Post subject: Re: Maintenance Code
When I moved here, the township engineer through zoning dictated many things about my property that really seemed to exceed what a reasonable person would think was in within their authority to do.
I am not a big political, anti big governement type person. But reasonable common sense should prevail.
The rules and ordnance bucket just keeps growinng and growing it seems.

He is right. We don't elect a council to spend more money on silly things like this. I guess your a little slow so even though its already been pointed out now the town has to pay someone to enforce this also when people who are issued a summons decide to challenge the summons now the town will have to pay attorney fees.
So now all the Township Committee members are "idiots" (even though they didn't even all vote for this) and anyone who disagrees with calling them idiots is "slow."
Usually name callers are saying a lot more about themselves than those they insult. I guess you're not too sure of your opinion to be wielding it only anonymously. Why not say these things to these people's faces if you have conviction in your opinions? There's an open public forum for this at the Monday Committee meetings.
There was an election. Two of those idiots just got re-elected. So I guess most of the people in Town must be "slow." Doesn't sound like you kind of place unfortunately.

Back to the main topic this property b.s.code is just that b.s. I see that the town has to hire someone to enforce this. Talk about a waste of money. People don't like to be told what they can do with land that they own, and could lead to lawsuits against the township.
Nope not true an existing employee will do this
Just what we need. They will not do this for free so how much will the town pay them to do this????
The council can just raise taxes again for the staff time to enforce this and legal support for the potential lawsuits.
Is this really what we need now?

Can someone explain what is the proper way to stack branches for brush pick-up.
D. Brush collection requirements:
(1) Brush shall be chipped. Placement of brush shall be allowed no sooner than the weekend preceding the third Wednesday of each month, or as otherwise scheduled or announced. It is recommended residents notify the Public Works Department of requests for chipping services by the Monday before the third Wednesday of the month.
(2) Materials should be tree branches and shrub branches preferably longer than three feet. All materials should be stacked at the curb or as near to the curb as possible, along the curb abutting the property owner's lot. Hedge clippings, twigs, small branches less than three feet (but not less than one foot) must be bundled with string only (no wire) and must be free of foreign debris, such as stones, dirt, metal, sweepings and rakings. No lumber, construction material, roots, stumps, mulch, sand, landscape construction material and debris, or soil left at the curb will be collected. All material to be chipped should be placed at the curb and no closer than ten feet to a storm drain inlet by 7:00 a.m. on the collection day. Any material placed at the curb that does not conform with these specifications will not be picked up by the Township.
(3) Brush and limbs placed at the curb must be aligned parallel and facing with the flow of traffic.
E. Leaf or brush collection may not occur in the event of Office of Emergency Management calls, natural disasters, vehicle blockages, acts of nature (such as snowfall) or other unforeseen occurrences.

I agree that DPW should prioritize Main Street. Brush piles are taking up parking spots in the Business District and Main Street is much more heavily traveled then Shadow Oaks.
Shadow Oaks is easier to handle because of much less passing traffic.
Working on Main St. will likely require blocking traffic and police's presence to direct traffic.

This is the time that the Committee needs to take a position and get this straightened out so public works can do their job without being hampered by those who can't follow the rules. As I see it, don't fine anyone, just don't pick up or chip the bad piles. They will need to pay a private contractor to clean up the mess they have made for public works. I hope the committee has the guts to help out public works and the rest of the citizens who are following the rules.
