town fills in the potholes, the water
will no longer drain into the lot, but
into the parking lot of the adjacent
property, Nino’s Pizzarama.
robert Vettese, of town engi-
neering firm adams, rehmann and
Heggan (arH) associates, said he
recently spoke with richard Brig-
andi, of the New Jersey Depart-
ment of transportation (NJDOt),
who told Vettese he will have the
lot looked at and get back to him.
in the meantime, Brigandi made a
recommendation to place dense
graded asphalt (DGa) millings to
fix the potholes. However, the
town cannot go on to the property
and address the potholes outright.
Barberio said the town’s course
of action is to notice the property
owner, telling them the lot needs to
be repaired, and if they do not re-
spond within a certain amount of
call an advisor

time or do not want to the maintain
the property, the town can then
move in and begin working on it.
Mayor Stephen DiDonato rec-
ommended that the committees re-
main focused on only working on
the legal right of way areas and just
monitor the situation closely going
forward.
“i say we take care of what’s in
the right of way of the state—ei-
ther us or the state—and then we
monitor the situation,” DiDonato
said.
the committees also discussed a
drainage issue on Grand Street that
is causing a storm drain “bubble-
up” near one of the street’s new
houses, located at 363 Grand St.
according to town municipal util-
ities superintendent anthony De-
Cicco, the issue was dealt with
about “a year-and-a-half and two
years ago,” but there is an ongoing
storm water drainage issue that is
causing bubbled-up water near the
drain to run through the backyards
of two property owners, the owner
of the property with the bubble-up
and an adjacent property owner
who has been dealing with flood-
ing that has affected grapevines
planted in their yard.
Barberio said DeCicco would
likely have to remove the bubble-
up—which is causing erosion—
connect piping and bring it to an
alternate location to bubble up so
the yards of property owners are

not being affected.
DiDonato recommended to the
committees that the site first be
looked at in order to find the opti-
mal location for the bubble-up to
be re-located and that hopefully
they will find a spot where gravity
can do the work and move the
drainage to a safer location.
“We’re just changing the loca-
tion of the bubble-up … Let’s
check it out, see how far we have
to go. Let’s go to the minimum we
have to go with another bubble-up,
then maybe gravity will take the
way in a safer spot to dispose of
it,” DiDonato said.
