Area merchants hope for good weather for the Labor Day Weekend
As always, Ocean City
business people are hoping for
fair skies over the Labor Day
Weekend, the last big bash of
the summer.
According to Public
Relations Director Mark Soifer,
the success of the weekend will
be affected much more by the
weather than it will be by
recent, cuts in the number of
summer employees.
Soifer said his department is
dealing with the layoffs well.
"It's worked out fine," he said.

to help out in the weeks
following Labor Day and would
be able to do so again this year.
Police Chief Dominick C.
Longo said he is expecting a big
weekend "depending on the
weather." He said he intends to
beef up the manpower of the
force over the weekend to
handle the expected crowds. He
also said there would be a plain
dothesman on the 57th St.
beach to arrest anyone drinking
on the beach, or committing
other violations, following
complaints from bathers there
that people were bringing cases
of beer on the beach and sailing
unlicensed boats.
In response to that complaint,
Longo said the masts of four
unlicensed sailboats were
removed Wednesday and
placed in police custody. In
addition, police have signed
complaints against two of the
boaters.
Longo had said earlier that he
would recommend that boats
not be allowed to launch from
beaches next year.

Relief due for Linda Lane residents

pleading for relief from

complaints increasing as a

numerous committee meetings
asking for help in addition to

attempting to get the developer
to rectify the situation.
Since the thorofare is not a
township road the committee
would not step in todo the work.
However, after repeated
requests from the residents and
the intervention of the committee
in the discussions,
something is finally being done
to correct the drainage
problems.
Linda Lane developer South
Woods Inc. agreed with
township Engineer Michael
Hyland's proposal to construct
a swale, a water retention pit,
on the property adjacent to the
end of the dead-end street. The
run-off would drain into Cedar
Swamp Creek.
Several residents have expressed
some doubt that the
idea will work but hope the
attempt is successful.
With the heavy summer rains
Linda Lane has had continual
trouble, compounded by delays
in the project's start. South
Woods Inc. ran into difficulty
trying to determine who owned
the property that the pit was
supposed to be constructed on.
An easement was needed on it
before the work could be done.
Because of the delays, when
the owner was found Hyland
was directed to verify the
results. At Monday's township
meeting, however Committeeman
Frank Kruk announced
that work has begun on
the project so Hyland need not
carry out his check. He was told
to oversee the work, though.
Kruk appeared satisfied with
the results of the title search.
A new Jam has been thrown in
the continual story of Linda
Lane. Trouble developed with
the equipment used on the
project. At this time the
musical sound of the bulldozer
has ceased but should resume
shortly and the Job will be
completed.
But until the next rain comes,
the benefits of the project have
yet to be seen.
Rail population is low
Current rail nesting surveys
by the Bureau of Wildlife
Management of the New Jersey
Division of Fish, Game, and
Shellfisheries, indicate that
clapper rail populations and
production are at extremely
low levels this year.
According to the division this
decline is attributed to heavy
rail tomes during Hurricane
Belle in 1976 and the past two
severfe winters..
Oitffcrii successful hatches
were recorded from established
nest-study 'areas in Ocean,
Atlantic, and Cape May
counties. This production is 54
percent below 1977 and 78
percent beJow the past 10-year
average.
In addition to the low
breeding population, production
was also adversely affected
by abnormally high
tides during the nesting period.
Initial nesting attempts were
wiped out by these destructive
tides.
Re-nesting was successful.
However, the young from these
late hatches will be flightless in
the early part of the rail season.
Because of low breeding
populations and flightless
young, hunting is expected to be

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 1, 1978:
OCEAN CITY (N J.) SENTINEL-LEDGER
Tempers flare over master plan changes at township meeting
By KATHLEEN BYRNES
UPPER TOWNSHIP —
Tempers ran rampant at
Monday night's committee
meeting here when several
residents objected to the
reduction in the township's lot
sizes from three-acres to oneacre.
Charging the township with
ignoring the wishes of the
residents and the local and
county planning boards, the
residents fought primarily with
Mayor Leonard MigUacclo who
is running for reelection in
November. Committeemen
Frank Kruk and Daniel Beyd
basically staved out of the
fracas.
At the meeting the committee
unanimously passed on first
reading an ordinance changing
the master plan. Only one of the
several changes has brought
any protest and that is the lot
size changes.
Elwood Jarmer, head of the
Cape May County Planning
Board, said last week that the
down-grading of the three-acre
tots (AR) is against the
county's recommendation and
also conflicts with the county
comprehensive planning
program.
"By opening the area to one
acre, this invites more
development," he explained.
"At least a portion of the area
should be kept open as a rural
area."
«*4 «M
Jarmer added that too much
development activity creates
additional sewage problems
with subsequent problems with
. the. water supply and pollution.
He noted that there is only so
much water available in the
county to allow future
development and the township's
change will effect that
supply.
Jarmer said that the county
planning board has offered the
township help with its master
plan and during the meetings
the local planning board
pointed out that there are inconsistencies
with the county's
comprehensive ' planning
program and the township's
master plan. Jarmer said that
the county is making some
changes in its plan to follow
some of .the township's
recommendations.
, However, he stressed that the
township's present action
reducing AR to one-acre is still
against the county's plan. The
county recommended that the
township could create a
separate zoning for
Steelmantown rather than
change AR zoning in the whole
township.
Although Steelmantown has
been the center of the controversy,
all three-acre lots in
the township are being reduced.
According to Joseph May, a
candidate for committee in
November, the county has
determined that 5,000 more lots

are being created by the
committee's action.
Kittie Naegler, whose family
owns 935 acres in the
Steelmantown area, has lead
the fight against the reduction
in lot sizes, frequently citing the
poor drainage in the area and
the land's inability to sustain
high density population.
Monday night she urged the
committee to preserve the
rural characteristics of the
township.
Naegler pointed out the
difference between AR and R-l
zoning, even though both are
one-acre lots, is that AR zoning
does not require road improvements
and claimed it
would cause even more havoc
in a poor drainage area.
The lot sizes are being
changed, said Migliaccio,
because the committee Is
"trying to honor the wishes of
the public" and repeatedly said
the township planning board
voted to reduce AR to one-acre.

had originally planned to
reduce the lots' acreage during
discussions which spanned
several months they recommended
to keep AR at threeacres.
The township committee's
action against the
planning board's recommendation
resulted in a letter
to the committee, signed by the
board's secretary, stating the
move is against the "consensus"
of the board.
Many members of the
audience asked Why the
townshiphas advisory boards if
their advice is not followed.
Township Solicitor James
Waldron pointed out the job of
the boards is to recommend but
the "final decision rests with
the committee."
Naegler suggested the
township bring in an independent
expert to check the
conditions of the soil and
determine whether the land is
agreeable to increased
development.
• Migliaccio refused, saying
For inlet dredging
"we're not wasting time."
A side issue of the meeting
was the planning board's
recommendation to upgrade
the tot sizes of R-l and R-2.
Apparently this action was
taken at the end of a very long
planning board meeting when
several of the board members
had already left.
The township committee
defeated that proposal last
week but since then the
upgrading of the lot sizes and
the decision of the planning
board to keep AR as it is, has;'
become interchangeable. ;
