MAYOR PARISrS ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC

2002 RE -ORGANIZATION

WELCOME TO THE ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS MAYOR AND COUNCIL RE-


ORGANIZATION MEETING FOR THE YEAR 2002.
THE PAST FOUR MONTHS HAVE BEEN THE MOST TRYING AND DIFFICULT
TIME IN THE LIFE OF OUR COUNTRY, THAT I CAN EVER REMEMBER, OR
IMAGINE.

THE EVENTS OF SEPTEMBER nTH WILL ALWAYS BE ETCHED IN THE MEMORY


OF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US EVEN IF WE WEREN'T DIRECTLY TOUCHED
BY THAT TERRJBLE TERRORIST ACT.

UNFORTUNATELY, TWO OF ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS RESIDENTS, MR. & MRS.


MIRPURI, LOST THEIR SON, RAJEESH. I KNOW MOST OF US CAN NOT EVEN
IMAGINE, WHAT THAT PAIN IS LIKE. I AM HAPPY THAT THEIR FRIENDS HAVE
OFFERED SUCH KIND SUPP ORT.

I WANT T O ASSURE THE RESIDENTS OF ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS THAT WE WILL


BE WORKING ON AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM, AND OTHER
PROCEDURES, TO INSURE THAT IN THE EVENT THERE WERE EVER A
CATASTROPIDC INCIDENT, WE WOULD BE WELL PREPARED.

ON A MUCH LIGHTER NOTE, I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT THE BOROUGH
OF ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS IS DOING VERY WELL. THANKS TO THE GOO D WORK
OF OUR BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND PLANNING BOARD, OUR COMMERCIAL
RATABLES ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE.

THOUGH THERE MAY BE TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES AHEAD, DUE TO THE WAR
IN AFGANISTAN AND OUR NATION'S FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM.. .. AT LEAST
HERE AT HOME YOU WILL HAVE STABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON.

THE CNBC SITE IS REALLY SHAPING UP. THEY HAVE MADE TERRIFIC
PROGRESS IN GETTING THAT BUILDING FINISHED AND READY FOR
OCCUPANCY.

IT IS ANOTHER FINE ADDITION TO OUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.


WE FINALLY HAVE OUR TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER UP AND RUNNING.
THERE IS CURRENTLY ONE COMPANY, VERIZON, OPERATING FROM IT, WITH
TWO MORE, AT & T AND SPRINT, IN THE PROCESS OF SETTING UP SERVICE.

AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE YEAR 2002, I TIDNK WE ALL WILL BE


LO OKING AT THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENT AFTER THE EVENTS OF 9/11. WE
HAVE TO GO ON LIVING OUR LIVES AS AMERICANS .... THE WAY WE HAVE
ALWAYS FOUGHT TO DO.

WORLD WAR II AND THE KOREAN WAR WERE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE
ENEMY WAS DEFINED. BUT EVERYTHING WE FOUGHT FOR IN THOSE WARS,
AS WE DID IN DESERT STORM, WERE THE SAME VALUES AND WAY OF LIFE
WE HOLD DEAR. I FOR ONE WILL NOT LET ANYONE CHANGE WHAT WE HAVE
ACCOMPLISHED AND CHERISH IN TillS COUNTRY.

I HOPE ALL OF YOU CONTINUE TO BE VIGILANT IN YOUR EVERY DAY LIFE


BUT ALSO, DON'T ALLOW THESE TERRORISTS TO DIMINISH YOUR QUALITY
OF LIFE.

LIFE TEACHES US VARIOUS AND VALUABLE LESSONS AS WE LIVE EACH DAY


WE ARE GIVEN. IT IS LIKE THAT IN A TOWN LIKE ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS. SO
USING TillS LIFE EXPERIENCE, IT IS UP TO US, YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS TO
ALWAYS LOOK FOR NEW AND EFFICIENT WAYS TO MANAGE THE
INFRASTRUCTURE AND BUSINESS DEALINGS OF 'EHE BOROUGH.

I WANT TO CONGRATULATE ILAN PLAWKER AND TOM MANOLIO ON THEm


RE-ELECTIONS SO THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE To" SERVE ON rms TEAM
THAT IS WORKING SO WELL TOGETHER FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL
RESIDENTS.

I WANT TO THANK ALL OUR BOROUGH EMPLOYEES, THE MEMBERS OF ALL


OUR VARIOUS BOARDS, FOR THEm WORK DURING TillS PAST YEAR. I KNOW

Zoning Ordinance:

The Zoning Ordinance adopted these four recommendations establisbed in the Master
Plan adopted in 2001 and expanded them to include an additional 5 purposes under Section 30-
21.1 which reads as follows:

30-21.1 Purposes and Goals.

The purpose of this section is to establish general guidelines for the siting of wireless
communication towers and antennas. The goals of this section are to:

(I ) protect residential areas and land uses from potential adverse impacts of
towers and antennas;

(2) encourage the location of towers in nonresidential areas;

(3) minimize the total number of towers throughout the community;

(4) strongly encourage the joint use of new and existing tower sites as primary
option rather than construction of additional single-use towers;
,
(5) encourage users to towers and antennas to locate them, to the extent possible,
in areas where the adverse impact on the community is minimal;

(6) encourage users of towers and antennas to configure them in a way that
minimizes the adverse visual impact of the towers and antennas through
careful design, siting, landscape screening and innovative camouflaging
techniques;

(7) enhance the ability of the providers of telecommunications services to


provide such services to the community quickly, effectively and efficiently;

(8) consider the public health and safety with communications towers; and

(9) avoid potential damage to adjacent properties from tower failure through
engineering and careful siting of tower structures. In furtherance of these
goals, the Borough of Englewood Cliffs Master Plan, Zoning Map, existing
land uses, and environmentally sensitive areas in approving sites for the
locations of towers and antennas.

Proposed Zoning Ordinance changes

Ordinance 200 2-04 proposes to permi t wireless telecommunication towers and


antenna within the I Institutional zone district.

The Englewood Cliffs Master Plan adopted in 200 I only recommended that
wireless communication towers and antenna be developed on the borough hall site (the P-
I) public zone. Since that time, a co-location tower has been constructed on the Borough
Hall site. Three telecommunication companies are or will utilize this facility.

The governing hody in consideration of these facts and circumstances is desirous


of providing an addit ional site or sites in order to permit additional telecommunication
facilities within the I-Institution zone.

Inconsistency Statement

Since the 2002 Master Plan did not identify the I-Institution zone as an area for
telecommunication towers and antenna and since the I zone would meet the objectives of
section 30-21.1 of the Englewood Cliffs Zoning Ordinance the governing body has filed
this inconsistency statement under the rules and regulations of the Muni cipal Land Use
Law.

AN ORDINANCE VACATING A CERTAIN PORTION


OF HOLLYWOOD AVENUE IN THE BOROUGH

The clerk presented affidavit of publication, showing that advertisement had been made according to
law, which was ordered filed. Council President Plawker moved a public hearing be held on the
ordinance. So ordered. Council President moved the clerk read the ordinance by title on second
reading. So ordered. The clerk thereup on read the ordinance by title. The mayor then announced
that all interested parties would now be given opportunity to be heard for or against the adoption of

The following people spoke on the ordinance:


Michael Lubin, Esq. representing Mr. And Mrs. Porrino ofHollywoorl Avenue, Englewood Cliffs
John Schepesi, Esq. representing Unilever Corporation of Sylvan Avenue, Englewo od Cliffs
Alan Dorfman, Real Estate Agent representing Porrinos of Hollywood Avenue, Englewood Cliffs
Elizabeth Sciacca of Englewood Cliffs
Diane Sank of Charlotte Place, Englewood Cliffs
.

Mr. Lubin objected to the ordinance stating that his clients, the Porrinos, were unable to attend the
meeting, therefore he was objecting on their behalf. He slated that in his opinion the ordinance was
not in the best interest of the public. He also stated that he believed this ordinance would affect the
buffer zone next to his clients property in particular five trees.

Councihnan Parisi slated that the street being vacated would remain in the same state it is now and
that the vacating of the street does not affect the buffer zone. The issue of the five trees is an issue
that was addressed at the planning board meeting.

Mr. Schepesi spoke on behalf of Unilever. He was in favor of the ordinance.

Borough Attorney, E. Carter Corriston noted that the vacating of the street will prevent any
possibility of that street ever becoming a through street.

Mr. Dorfman objected to the ordinance. He is a residential broker. His opinion was that even though
the Porrinos are gaining 1000 sq. ft. of property, the property has utility poles and wires.

Mr. Schepesi commented that the Borough of Englewood Cliffs would no longer be responsibl e for
the portion of Hollywood Avenue to be vacated.

Ms. Sciacca asked for clarification regarding the additional property to be gained by Unilever and the
Porrinos.
