Approve 825,000 Sower EDISON-A $2,500,000 garden apartment on Fox Lane at Ed-mond Street was given a favorable nod by the Planning Board in an advisory report last night. The board adopted a resolution approving the 226-unit de. velopment and forwarded it to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for (final action. The zoning board on May 17 Board for review. Councilman William Margolis, chairman of the Planning Board's zoning committee, recommended the College Bridge site as favorable for the apartments in that they would adjoin another apartment development and there are few single family homes nearby.

His resolution recommended that an area along a ravine be reserved for a new street which might be needed as a through road between Edison and Highland Park if the area should be more fully developed. Opposition to the apartments at the May public bearing was slight. Nathan Kaplan, company president, explained at the hearing that eight of the 23 acres would be for parking, and units would rent for $28 to $30 per room. Proposed are 96 two-bedroom units, and 130 one-bedroom units and private swimming pool. In another resolution, the board recommended that the Borough Council purchase privately-owned land off Lloyd Avenue near Route 1 for use as a recreation area and public park.

The park land is bounded by Player and Lloyd Avenues and Route 1. The action followed a request by council for the board to study possible use of the township land on the west side of Player Avenue for use as a recreation area. The council previously had refused to authorize sale of the land to a private bidder. The board conferred with Fels Institute of Local and State Government at the University of Pennsylvania, its consultant, before making the decision. PISCATAWAY TOWNSHIP -The Sewerage Authority has received "informal" approval of a $250,000 federal grant for its proposed trunk sewer line and collection system, the authority announced last night.

The authority was advised of the approval by Lester Klash-man, director of the U. S. Public Health Service in New York City, who said last week that until the state assigns a priority number to the sewage project formal approval cannot However, Klashman has told the authority, the federal agency has assigned an engineer to the project, and a meeting with state officials will probably be requested in about two weeks. Authority Chairman Jerome Waldron said the meeting will be held to "clarify engineering details. Following the authority's meeting last night, Waldron said the project is still expected to start in October.

Authority Engineer Charles Kupper told the authority that preliminary plans are "just about com pleted" for the extensive collection system that would service the New Market area. In response to a question from Waldron, he said he believed plans would be ready in time for seeking bids in September on construction. Financing of the work would come from the Health Service grant, a proposed issue of bonds and assessment to property owners. The authority has already received a $51,000 loan from the federal Housing and Home Finance Agency to plan the project. Estimated cost of the trunk line is $1,080,000, and for the completed collection system $2,350,000..

The authority authorized Charles J. Kupper Associates, which is performing engineering work, to prepare plans for all streets in the Arbor-New Market collection system, rather than plan new lines as new housing is added. Under this arrangement, authority members agreed streets not needing the lines will be eliminated from specifications shortly before bids are sought. conducted a public hearing on the apartments, to be built by Empire Construction Co. of South River, and forwarded the application to the 1 a i be made.

The Daily Home News iarden Aparton Wins fJoi Brant 19 NEW BRUNSWICK, N. THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 21, 1960. T7 Y7 tSt St Main Using Milltown ami MILLTOWN Johnson Johnson intends to discontinue using the Milltown main for its water supply from the New Brunswick Water Department for its industries, local officials learned yesterday. The announcement was welcome news to the officials, who have placed the blame for low water pressure in the borough largely on the amount being taken by the North Brunswick industries from the main that serves Milltown consumers. Within Few Weeks Mayor John Vandeputte, Councilman David B.

Crabiel, utilities chairman, Borough Engineer Donald Barr and Borough Attorney Charles V. Booream were told by officials yesterday that providing the City of New Brunswick has no objections, that the industries will discontinue all use of water from the Milltown line within the next two or three weeks. The present connection will remain for use by the industries in the event of emergency. The local officials met with Glen B. Miller Jr.

and David R. Clare of Herbert Wagner and William Liddy of Personal Products, and Herbert Stolzer of Permacel Tape. The Borough Council had voted July 11 to seek a conference with and its subsidiaries after Crabiel presented a comprehensive report of his study of the low pressure in the borough. Crabiel had found that as high as 107,000 gal lons per day has been taken from the Milltown line, although the intent of the 1940 agreement was to permit 5,000 gallons of drinking water used. Have Been Concerned The representatives told borough officials yesterday that they have been as concerned as Mill-town has in the problem and they have been making progress on their long-term plan to reduce and eliminate their use of water from the Milltown 12-inch line.

Industries obtain less than 10 per cent of their total requirements from the Milltown line and over the past several years, their use of water from the line has been reduced by 35 per cent, the representatives said. They claimed that high expenditures have been made to increase the size of their industrial water filtration unit tied in to Westons Mill Pond. They reported the progress made during the past six months in negotiating for a new supply of water to replace the water now obtained from the Milltown line. Milltown's pressure has gone as low as seven pounds during the dry season this summer and borough officials feel it would have been worse if the new booster pump at Elkins Lane had not been installed last spring. 1F7 arianc or uwm 2 i if HK P'H 1 H'1 Ik fits 1 III'? ill i Fav By RALPH SODA MADISON TOWNSHIP The Planning Board last night unani- For enter mously voted to recommend to I Tentative plans also caU for a the Township Committee a zoning aUey pr0p" change to permit construction ofi; 31' sare super- 0u, n.

Urges Action -Board Chairman Stanley Kordzinski urged the board to write a letter to the Knollcroft Homes developers urging action on the promised construction of a school in the area.

Kordzinski, who is also a mem ber of the Board of Education, pointed out that in the agreement signed with the township the developers had promised to start construction of the school by the time 20 occupancy permits were issued. Kordzinski indicated this has not "may have to pay storage. a long, tedious process.

Karcher, in his opinion, said that if the borough decided to litigate against Agiite, he would have to disqualify himself as counsel on either side since he is an officer of Sayre and Fisher Co. Karcher said that if litigation is started, the company might say the borough was at fault for permitting the company to spend $1,500,000 plus $40,000 to $50,000 for equipment if the plant operation was "illegal." In another opinion delivered last night, Karcher said that the borough Municipal Court Was "under direct supervision of the mayor and council" and not subject to "independent action of. the council's police committee." A third opinion by Karcher quoted borough ordinance and stated that borough police must enforce "all laws and ordinances" not merely those dealing with traffic and motor vehicle violations. Construction Complaint Related to the decision is a current complaint regarding a wall constructed of railroad ties in the Savre Woods area. Awarded to Manzo Construction 1 'f Township counsel Harold Smith told Kordzinski that he had con tacted the developers and learned they had started construction of the school "today." However, he added, residents had complained to him that the school was in variance with zoning regulations because it was too close to the road.

Must Seek Ruling Smith said he was "convinced that this is no reason to legally stop construction," but that oa the request of the complaining resident he would have to seek a ruling on the question. In the meantime, he said, con struction on the school would have to be stopped. But, Smith added, he has required from the developer the posting of $450 for every occupancy permit issued after the first 20. This is also in the agreement, he said, to protect the township in event the developer fails to build the school. lcaung Matawan, was a contract to construct three basketball courts at War Memorial Field for $5,463.

The application, orginally sub-; mitted by Holiday Homes, was refiled July 6 under the name, of Vitality Estates with the lots meeting zoning requirements. The project is off Oak Tree Road.

Awaits Report The board withheld technical approval because a report has not yet been received from the County Planning Board, but it indicated the approval would be given as soon as the deadline, for the county report passes, In written reports, the Division of Fire last night opposed the subdivision because it did not have Prospect Street intersecting with Chandler Drive, which would hamper fire appara-. tus access. Township Engineer John Zim-' merman also suggested that storm and sanitary sewers be extended along Oak Tree Road.) Alfred C. Vitale of Kennilworth, i the developer, said he would go along with the suggestions. During the public hearing, two Bradford Road residents questioned one access street which might become a short cut for traffic onto Oak Tree Road, and Mrs.

L. S. Hermsen of Oak Tree Road asked if the sewers would be extended along that street beyond the development. The developer said he would be blad to extend the line and I bill the property owners at cost only.

A. E. Kimer-er of 13S Jefferson Ave. needs help. She has two homes, one lot and no way of getting the three together.

She asked the Planning Board for aid last night, and left heads reeling after her explanation. According to her, she sold her Jefferson Avenue property to a developer, but he doesn't want the house. She does. She owns a lot in another location, and the state Highway Department has told her she can have a nearby house if she wants it. She does.

Net so far: Two houses, one lot. Now, Mrs. Kimerer would like to split her 100-foot lot into two 50-foot parcels, move her house on it, and move the other on it for her mother. When the board recovered, it was suggested she go to the Zoning Board for a variance for the lot sizes and then the board would act on subdividing into two lots. opposed it as having only one access road.

They wanted at least two. No member of the public objected, and the application was held for further study. The Metuchen firm of Denholtz and Deutsch asked the board that recent preliminary approval for its Heights develop- ment be extended for three years. "so that the property might be improved in an orderly -fashion." The board took no action on the request. A minor subdivision classification report by Juilus Kapcsandi, chairman of the subdivision committee, drew the ire of Mayor Anthony Yelencsics who said the property owner should submit all the property for classification as a major subdivision, which has more stringent requirements.

Might Tempt Owners The mayor said that such ac- tion might tempt property owners to submit parcels in piecemeal fashion, getting bit by bit minor subdivision approvals and there by avoiding major subdivision re quirements Board Attorney Joseph Ferenczi said state law stipulates only that three or less lots facing on an improved street be classified as a minor subdivision.

Later, Popowski denied Kolodziej's charge that the council was "abdicating" responsibility in the matter.

Karcher's opinion stated that "any allegedly aggrieved person" had a right to sign a complaint charging violation of state laws or local ordinances and that the mayor and council do not have "machinery," to enforce ordinances "except through appointed law enforcement agents." Karcher said that if operation of the plant is a public nuisance, an appropriate criminal charge could be referred to the Grand Jury by the local magistrate. However, if operation of the plant is a "private Karcher said, alleged injured par- ties would have a right to seek action, possibly an injunction and other relief, by state courts.
