NEW BUSINESS:� Application #275, Elberon Development Company Tech Center, 141 Market Street, for a multi-tenant wholesale and distribution center.� The attorney for Elberon Corporation said the company will agree to construct a board-on-board fence to buffer the park.� Mr. Vitale and the Site Committee looked over that area.� He commented that the board-on-board fence did not extend to the end of the property and that the housekeeping, in general, was poorly maintained.� The extremely heavy truck traffic through the site was also noted.� Because the approval of this application may possibly accommodate an expansion of Restaurant Depot, the Elberon Corporation must also address the concerns of the residential neighbors.

�The Site Committee needs complete site plans for a comprehensive review.� Long range plans for the location must also be addressed.�� Mr. Lane, board attorney, asked if Dr. Disko, borough engineer, reviewed the report.� He did, but did not comment.� The Site Committee may agree to meet with Elberon on Thursday, July 10 to discuss this matter, prior to the next Planning Board meeting.� This application will be continued until July 24, 2003.
