STRATHMERE DEANNEXATION
Continuation of the hearing
on the petition filed by the Citizens of Strathmere and Whale Beach to deannex a
portion of Upper Township commonly known as Strathmere and Whale Beach from
Upper Township and annex same to Sea Isle City, New Jersey.
The Board members set forth
on the record that they have attended all the hearings on this matter or have
listened to the tape or read the transcript of any meeting or portion of a
meeting they had missed.
The Board was asked for
their finding of fact.
MR. KELLY – Mary Darcy
Bittner, Esquire, is representing the applicants, Citizens of Strathmere and
Whale Beach. The application
involves a petition filed to deannex a portion of Upper Township commonly known
as Strathmere and Whale Beach and annex same to Sea Isle City.
The Board retained the services of Stuart Wiser, Professional Planner.
The Planning Board is to report back to the Township Committee.
The Board is only to fact find and gather information on how deannexation
would impact the Township. The
Board shall consider the economic and social well being as not to cause
significant injury to the well being of the municipality in which the land is
located. The petition was filed and
the Township Committee referred the matter to the Planning Board.
The initial hearing on this matter was February 2, 2008 at the Upper
Township Elementary School. In the
following 13 months many residents and non-residents have
provided testimony
concerning beach erosion, no local police, poor drainage, bus service, trash
pick up, beach maintenance. He has
listened and agrees with some of the concerns that were raised.
The concerns that can be fixed must be addressed.
Robert Schwartz, CPA and registered accountant, testified on behalf of
the petitioners. He testified that
85 percent of his work is governmental.
He concluded that there was a shift of taxes from the mainland to the
beach resort of approximately $2,000,000.
He claims that if deannexation occurred the Township could redirect
budgeted money to the mainland to provide relief.
He stated there would be a positive long-term impact on school taxes
since there is now a new school funding formula.
The State would not agree to make any estimate on this matter.
He stated the County tax would be a short-term negative effect to the
mainland. He assumes that
deannexation would benefit the Township by $2,000,000 based on the 2007 and
preliminary 2008 budget. He feels
the average property owner with an assessed value of
$350,000 would have an increase of approximately $700 in taxes.
Ms. Bittner indicated they plan to address the fiscal impact with the
Township Committee and did not believe it was a Planning Board issue.
He believes this to be an economic element, one which the Board considers
part of fact finding. Mr. Schwartz
discussed how deannexation could be lessened by the Township allowing the merger
with Corbin City. In a prior case
involving Avalon Manor the Board was not concerning themselves with what areas
they could re-coop some of the damage done by deannexation.
Mr. Schwartz testified as to the percentage of the budget allocated to
Strathmere remained flat at 4% while the budget increased.
At the May 21st meeting Dr. Stewart Farrell testified that he
began to monitor the beach in 1984 from Raritan Bay to the Delaware Bay.
This developed into the Institute of Coastal Research Center at Richard
Stockton College. Dr. Farrell
provided a power point presentation showing how waves promote erosion.
His presentation was made available on line.
He spoke of the difficulty in preventing beach erosion.
He supplied photos showing how the channel has changed over the years.
He stated that the channel is a moving mass that goes wherever it wishes.
He spoke about storm damage by nor’easters and how they could effect the
location severely at point A and minimally just a block away.
He demonstrated how the second channel cuts across the beach at
Strathmere. This is the tidal pool,
which appears daily along the coastline and prevents new sand from coming
ashore. The flatness of the beach
allows remaining sand to be removed during storms due to the incline.
He testified that beach replenishment is required every 5 to 10 years.
This is only a temporary solution.
In order to solve the problem the channel must be blocked.
The permit process to complete this is extremely difficult since the DEP
will not allow any disturbance to the habitat of certain fish and clam beds.
The Township has begun their permit process to add additional sand on the
beaches. The State owns the land
north of Seacliff Avenue and it will not allow sand being pumped onto the beach.
During the July 17, 2008
meeting, Lt. Robert Watkins, Commander of the New Jersey State Police Woodbine
Barracks testified that he wanted to clarify some issues that he read in the
newspaper. Their response times
were clouded by the fact that false alarms are included in the report.
He reviews any calls over 20 minutes with the Trooper and the caller.
In regards to noise complaints his hands are tied since there is no noise
ordinance. He does instruct the
officer to speak with the offending party.
He was never asked to provide additional troopers in Strathmere.
During September, October
and November the Board heard testimony by various residents as well as Michael
Garcia, Auditor for the Upper Township School Board.
His calculations were dramatically different than Mr. Schwartz’s.
The Board required Mr. Garcia to repeatedly contact the State to verify
the School Aid Formula. The State
would not estimate any impact without actual figures.
He feels the figures by Mr. Schwartz are not factual.
At the November 20, 2008
meeting the Board listened to various members from the mainland.
They explained how they enjoyed the Strathmere beach.
They cherish the family atmosphere, relaxed rules and free parking it
provides. They attend the various
Strathmere functions including the July 4th parade.
On December 18, 2008, Mr.
Dietrich testified to the Township improvements currently in place.
They include beach replenishment projects; dune fencing, road
improvements and emergency work at Seacliff Avenue.
He testified that he has received complaints concerning trash and
drainage. Christmas trees were
placed at the street ends as requested by residents.
A number of calls concerned bridge conditions which he has no control
since this is a County road.
Mr. Kelly is proud to serve
on the Planning Board. He has
attentively listened to both sides during the process.
He has learned to understand the concerns of both sides.
The process was warranted and needed.
He believes the Township has a better idea of the frustrations
experienced by the Citizens of Strathmere and Whale Beach.
He feels the tax increase of $700 for a mainland homeowner with a
property assessed at $350,000 would be detrimental to the remaining Township
residents. He disagrees with Ms.
Bittner that this is not a Planning Board matter.
He believes this is a Planning Board concern due to the fact that it
affects the economical well being of the effected residents.
Recently New Jersey Publication listed Upper Township as one of the top 5 places
to live in New Jersey. The reasons
were the beach community, low taxes, education, and low crime levels.
He has friends that reside in Strathmere and enjoys interacting year
round along the coast. He enjoys
the lifeguard races, island race and years of 4th of July parades.
The lifeguards and junior lifeguard program would most likely be
eliminated in a deannexation. This
would hurt the social well being of the municipality.
In reviewing the facts he
feels the petitioner has not sustained their burden of proof.
They have not met the economic or social well being in their
presentation. There would be
significant injury to the people of Upper Township.
Majority would suffer to benefit a minority.
Lets continue the democratic process to solve the concerns stated during
the prior months to benefit the entire municipality.
MR. BROWN – During a 13
month period the Citizens of Whale Beach and Strathmere have stated their
reasons for secession is a lack of adequate police protection, benign neglect of
beach maintenance and cleaning, inadequate trash collection and maintenance of
roads and slow response to snow plowing.
They feel that Strathmere is too distant from Upper Township schools and
their children would be better served by attending Sea Isle City schools.
They have stated that the dunes are not maintained and dune fencing is
not installed properly. They have
testified that the Township has not responded promptly or properly concerning
beach erosion and has not timely acquired permits from DEP for beach
replenishment. He feels the
Township has defended their actions in a creditable
manner.
Deannexation would produce a $400,000 reduction in operating costs but
loss of Strathmere ratables would increase taxes by about $700 per year on an
average $350,000 home on the mainland.
He feels that Strathmere would be impacted by loss of social diversity and would
lose its unique laid back atmosphere due to the Township’s more lenient boater
and beach laws and no beach tags.
It is his opinion that improvements could be made to the programs and services
provided that would be satisfactory to both Strathmere and the mainland without
deannexation.
MS. RAGAN – A copy of the
petition requesting deannexation from Upper Township was forwarded to members of
the Upper Township Planning Board on or about November 27, 2007.
The petitioners who reside in Strathmere refer to themselves as Citizens
for Strathmere and Whale Beach.
Accompanying the Petition was a letter written and signed by one of the
petitioners verifying the Petitions were circulated to and collected from
registered Strathmere voters between October 10, 2007 and November 7, 2007.
A voter’s list was also included.
More than 60 percent of the voters signed the Petition.
A map showing that Block 750 through Block 869 is surrounded by dashed
lines to indicate the boundary of the land to be annexed.
Included with these items was correspondence regarding the assessed
values of this portion of Upper Township.
The Tax Assessor certified the value of the property to be $399,543,00.00
as of January 1, 2007. Robert E.
Schwartz, CPA, verified that in 2007 the assessed value of Strathmere section of
Upper Township is $394,680,518.00.
In order to make a recommendation to the Township Committee the Planning Board
has held several hearings throughout the year.
There has been testimony by several of the petitions, sometimes more than
once. The Board has listened to
numerous witnesses, experts and non-petitioning residents.
Strathmere is not geographically or physically connected to the rest of
Upper Township. It is continuous to
Sea Isle City. Many Strathmere
residents shop, congregate, and partake in social events in Sea Isle.
According to the senior petitioners, Sea Isle welcomes them to their
senior center that is closer than the senior center in Upper Township. As a
non-resident of Sea Isle, Strathmerians are free to enjoy Sea Isle as they wish.
Therefore, it is a fact they do not need to annex to Sea Isle to enjoy
the social activities. Much time
was spent on the issue of police protection.
If deannexation were to happen Strathmere and Whale Beach would be
protected by Sea Isle City Police, which they believe would be able to respond
faster than the State Police. Many
petitioners testified that State Police response times were inadequate or
ignored. They also stated that
vandalism and beach parties would decrease if Sea Isle City Police protected
them. The subject of an interlocal
police force was addressed. Various
expert witnesses regarding this possible solution were heard.
Representatives of Sea Isle Police Dept and NJ State Police also
presented statistics on call times.
Part time patrols hired for weekends in the summer seem to be a deterrent to
crime. In the past year much has
changed on our beaches, including increased erosion.
The north end now has a rock wall and a major beach fill is planned soon.
Proof does not exist that Strathmere would be less likely to erode or
they would be more likely to obtain federal funding if they were part of Sea
Isle. It is likely the beaches
would be less natural like the Sea Isles beaches.
The economic impact would be negative if Strathmere were to deannex.
The loss of $400,000,000 in property would cause the school tax rate to
increase. The increase in
State Aid as suggested by
Mr. Schwartz has not been validated.
Keeping Strathmere in Upper Township would have a positive economic
impact for the residents as the possibility exists that Upper Township school
tax could decrease and the schools could collect more money over time as new
homes and businesses are built in Strathmere.
MR. KISSLING – Some of the
complaints have been the lack of law enforcement.
The State Police have stated they can be there in 17 minutes.
Strathmere is 13 miles from the station.
He feels this response time is not much different than the 12.7 miles to
Tuckahoe. Snow removal, beach
cleaning, parking meters, lack of noise ordinance, trash collection are other
items of concern. He feels Sea Isle
provides similar services. Doug
Gaffney, Coastal Engineer, feels the Township has done a good job of actively
taking care of problems in Strathmere. The Dept of Education refused to make a
statement on future school funding.
Sea Isle schools will be closing and the children will attend Ocean City
schools. Sea Isle and Strathmere
are 2 different types of towns.
The Township would lose
land and ratables if Strathmere were to deannex.
There would be a 20 percent increase in taxes for the rest of the
Township. The Township would lose
370 acres, mostly wetlands, future ratables and a prestigious beach area.
He feels the deannexation
is a result of the revaluation done by the Township.
He feels that in this bad economy Strathmere is retaining its value
better than the rest of the Township.
MR. BREADY – Residents are
concerned about beach issues. He
does not understand why some residents will not provide easements to correct the
issues. Residents have claimed that
Upper Township is pro-development and wants to see high rises.
Strathmere has septic systems that will not support this type of density.
He stated that it is common for water to back up and flood when you live
at this elevation. Lt. Watkins of
the State Police states that response time is almost the same Township wide.
The crime rate obviously indicates that policing is adequate.
Illegal fireworks happen in Ocean City also.
He feels the noise issues would not improve if Strathmere were part of
Sea Isle since Sea Isle is known for loud bars and parties.
Deannexation is not a solution to the problems.
Residents need to become more active in local government.
He feels the issue was
created by the revaluation done by the Township.
Mr. Schwartz stated in his testimony that if deannexation were approved
the residents of Strathmere would be paying $4,000 per year when they are now
paying $11,000 a year. He feels the
Citizens of Strathmere and Whale Beach have not met the heavy burden of proof
for deannexation from Upper Township.
Therefore he is opposed to deannexation.
MR SCHRODER – His comments
are not only based on the testimony given but as a property owner in Strathmere.
His family began renting a campsite in Strathmere1955 and in 1962 they
purchased the trailer park one month before the Storm of 1962.
He has witnessed many storms since then.
His family has worked very closely with the Upper Township Committee and
Road Department to solve any problems.
On occasion they have had
to call the State Police. He feels
they have always been prompt and have handled every scenario in a professional
manner. He feels the very low crime
rate speaks for itself. He believes
the protection by the State Police is more than adequate.
He believes that an
interlocal agreement with another police force or expand the duties of the life
guards to patrol the beaches at night could help eliminate the fireworks and
beach parties.
He feels the cooperative
efforts of the Township and the residents in installing snow fencing has worked
well. He believes the Dept. of
Corrections inmate program is fiscally responsible.
The quality of snow fence used is appropriate and adequate.
He feels the ramps to the beaches are properly maintained.
He feels it is time to start charging a fee for using the beach.
He feels the Township does a good job at replacing the sand back onto the
beach after a storm. He feels that
in the future the Township should be more diligent in understanding the need for
action to offset any potential damage.
He feels the economic
impact of deannexation would be considerable.
The average home in Upper Township would see a $700 property tax increase
if the petition were granted.
Upper’s bond capacity would be decreased by more than 12 million and the
operating budget would be decreased by $500,000.00 per year.
He feels there is a cultural connection between the mainland and
Strathmere. Strathmere offers
junior lifeguard programs, surf camps, 4th of July parade, boat ramps
and other beach and bay related activities to benefit the entire township.
The mainland offers many social events, sporting and educational programs
and senior programs. He has always
felt the mainland and Strathmere serve as one unit and the elimination of any
part of the Township would cause a negative social and economic impact.
Any elimination of a fully functioning unit would be detrimental.
Most of the issues
discussed are normal complaints of any town.
He feels many of the problems can be solved with the creation of a
dialogue between residents, the Upper Township Committee and Road Department.
He feels the uniqueness and attractiveness of his community is well
enhanced with Strathmere being an interracial part.
He is opposed to the deannexation.
MR. CORSON – He feels that
deannexation would have a significant impact on the school taxes.
He feels that Strathmere would lose its uniqueness if it were to deannex
and become part of Sea Isle. It
would most likely lose the post office, fire house and village atmosphere.
The New Jersey State Police times are consistent with the rest of the
Township. If Upper Township did not
have Strathmere then Beesleys Point probably would not have lifeguards.
MAYOR PALOMBO – He feels
the role of the Board is to look at the social and economic impacts and how it
would affect Upper Township as a whole.
If Strathmere were to deannex to Sea Isle the Township may have to
initiate a local purpose tax. Each
individual section of the Township makes a unique diverse environmental and
social opportunity to make a great Township.
He believes the uniqueness of Upper Township makes it a premier location
to live in. He goes to Strathmere 3
or 4 times a week during the summer.
He feels the beach is a very important aspect of the Township.
He feels Township Committee has worked hard to address some of the
problems. H feels the social impact
would be detrimental to the Township in general if Strathmere were to leave.
MRS. SCROCCA – this matter
is governed by NJSA40:A7-12 which sets forth the procedure by which land in one
municipality can be annexed to another contiguous municipality.
That particular statute sets forth the procedure the Board must follow.
The
companion statute sets
forth the standards by which any petition or deannexation must be governed is
40A7-12.1. Essentially the
petitioners have the burden of proving that refusal to consent to deannexation
is detrimental to their economic and social well being and that the deannexation
would not cause a significant injury to the well being of the remaining
residents in the municipality. The
Board is also guided by the standards set forth in the Avalon Manor vs. Middle
Township case. The residents are
concerned the Township doesn’t maintain the beach properly and feel that Sea
Isle City would do a better job.
They are concerned about erosion, trash and seaweed on the beach, and the method
by which the Township puts up snow fencing.
The Strathmere residents have raised several issues involving the school
such as the ride is too long and the distance is too far.
They gave testimony in regards to the lack of police protection.
They claim the State Police have a slow response time or no response at
all. They feel the lack of police
presence provides an opportunity for vandalism.
The residents feel they would be better served by Sea Isle ambulance
service. There are issues regarding
drainage and snow removal. The
residents also complain that the Master Plan ignores Strathmere.
In reviewing the matter for 14 months she does not believe any of the problems
or concerns raised by the Strathmere residents are the real reason the
deannexation petition was filed.
The testimony points to one conclusion best summarized by the testimony of Mr.
Lord when he stated that “the services we get don’t match the level of taxes we
pay”. She feels this is the purpose
of the matter. She reviewed the
testimony given by the various expert witnesses.
Leah Fury, Professional Planner, discussed the positive effects that
deannexation would have on Strathmere’s health, safety and welfare.
She testified there would be no negative effect on the Township and that
Strathmere is more like Sea Isle City.
She did not address any fiscal issues.
Robert Schwartz, CPA, testified that deannexation would not result in any
change to the local purpose tax. He
was amazed there is no local purpose tax and agreed there will most likely be in
the future. He also pointed out
that Strathmere constitutes 17% of the property valuation but only 4% of the
Township’s budget. He also stated
that Upper Township would save $600,000 in County taxes.
She finds this is not so since testimony by the financial witness Leon
Costello made it clear that the Township is only the collector of the County tax
and that money goes straight to the County not the Township.
She did not give Mr. Schwartz’s testimony and opinion as much weight as
the testimony of the other financial experts due to the incorrect testimony that
the Township would save $600,000 in County taxes and that he was so quick to say
that Upper Township would benefit by annexing with Corbin City when he had done
no fiscal analysis. He did agree
the $700 added taxes to the average homeowner would be a financial burden on the
remaining property owners. He
testified that the Strathmere residents would have significantly lower property
taxes if they annexed with Sea Isle City.
He also testified that Upper Township would have to find 3.75 million
dollars from other sources to make up Strathmere’s lost revenue.
He believes the schools would get an increase in State Aid by eliminating
Strathmere. She feels his testimony
is speculative since the State refused to project future aid to the schools
since there were too many variables and with the current economic crisis she
feels there could be less funding in the future from the State.
Douglas Gaffney, Coastal
Engineer, was very critical of the Township’s past handling of the beaches, the
dunes and the way the berm is maintained.
He testified the Township would not qualify for FEMA emergency funds
since we do not have an improved beach.
Leon Costello, CPA,
testified the County tax would remain flat and that the school tax would
increase by 20 cents per 100 for every remaining property owner.
He testified that it would be irresponsible for the Board to rely on the
school funding formula when projecting into the future.
She finds his testimony to be creditable.
Mr. Costello also testified that Adjustment Aid would not increase or
decrease since enrollment in the schools remains flat.
His conclusion was that we would not get a significant increase in State
Aid if Strathmere deannaxed.
She found Dr. Stuart
Farrell’s credentials and knowledge of the Strathmere beach to be particularly
impressive. He has monitored the
beach since 1985. He described the
historical nature of the beach migration in Strathmere. His testimony
essentially negates the testimony of the Strathmere residents about neglect over
the years. In 1991 Strathmere was
in the best situation since the Township participated in a beach fill.
The year 1999 was another critical point and in 2001 the DEP did a 2nd
beach fill. There were no
significant problems for many years.
He was not alarmed until about June 2007 when the problem on the beach
began reaching critical state. The
Township is once again responding.
The Township will participate in a beach fill projected to occur later this
year. He spoke of the difficulty in
managing the erosion since the NJ Land Trust says there can be no construction
on the beach other than the placement of sand.
Dr. Farrell rated the Township reactions on needs as they arise with a B.
He testified that Sea Isle and Upper Township essentially react to crisis
with regard to the migration of beach in the same manner.
Testimony by Michael
Garcia, CPA, indicated there would be increased revenue of $13,499 if there were
a deannexation as well as a savings of $15,000 based on the fact that the
Township would not be sending any children to Ocean City High School.
He also agreed the Township would save $4,000 in transportation costs.
He reiterated that the Board should not rely on increased aid from the
State. He also testified the
Township would lose $393,000,000 in ratables if deannexation occurred which
would result in a 19.7 cent tax increase to the remaining residents.
He projected that an average home value of $350,000 would have a $689 tax
increase.
Lt. Watkins of the NJ State
Police testified in regards to the complaints about police protection.
He testified that State Police do not handle false alarms.
He testified there is as much police presence in Strathmere as the rest
of the Township. He noted that the
crime rate in Upper Township and Strathmere is much lower than Sea Isle City.
He gave a detailed analysis of why the response time testified to by the
petitioners expert was not accurate.
The response times are generally lower than reported since there are too
many variables that the computer has to take into account.
Lt. Watkins testified that
this particular barracks has less of a geographic area to cover than Beuna or
Woodstown. He went back to check
with the complaint department and there have been absolutely no complaints by
Strathmere residents to the State Police.
The Board also heard from
members of the public who are not in favor of deannexation since they do not
want to lose funding for the schools.
One Strathmere resident testified she is satisfied with the services
provided by the Township. Many
residents describe the
beach as their favorite
amenity. Many residents pointed out
that Strathmere’s concern about the level of service is the same as the rest of
the Township. They testified
Strathmere is an upscale part of town and they are proud to have it.
She finds the positive
factors for Strathmere are the slight increase in their comfort level since they
may get a slightly better response time.
They would have much lower real estate taxes if they annexed with Sea
Isle. While there would probably be
no change in ambulance or fire protection, they would get trash pick up twice a
week in the summer as opposed to once a week.
A positive factor for the
remaining residents of the Township is there would be an additional $400,000 in
the budget to use elsewhere. This
would not reduce the Township tax rate.
The services would be spread elsewhere and absorbed.
There be no children from Strathmere going to Ocean City High School
which cost $15,000 per year. There
would be a decrease in transportation costs.
The neutral factors are there would be no significance either way on Strathmere
or Upper Township socially. She
feels that where you shop or go to church is a matter of geography and
convenience it is not dictated by the geographical boundaries of the town you
live in. Many of the complaints of
the Strathmere residents are a product of their geography.
As pointed out by several people Strathmere is an island.
Roads will flood and children will have difficulty getting to and from
school when living on an island.
The only negative factor is
to the owners of the local taverns.
Testimony was given earlier in the hearings that the petitioners had not decided
if they would attempt to annex with Ocean City or Sea Isle City.
If they were to annex to Ocean City the taverns would not be able to keep
their liquor licenses.
The negative factors
include the lose of 370 acres of land and approximately $393,000,000 in tax
ratables. There would be a
significant lose of future tax ratables to the remaining residents of the
Township. If deannexation occurs
the remaining residents would lose significant local purpose tax ratables.
There would be a significant increase in the school tax to the remaining
residents. Both sides agreed the
average taxpayer would pay an additional $700 in school taxes if deannexation
occurred. This does not take into
account the current state of the economy.
She does not believe there will be a significant increase in State Aid.
Further, the deannexation would result in a loss of significant
recreational area. She finds this
case is almost identical to the Avalon Manor Case due to the $700 increase in
taxes to the remaining residents, the lose of control over natural wetlands and
the lose of one of its nicest areas.
Based upon the testimony
heard regarding lose of tax revenue, lose of control over the beach and lose of
one of the nicest and most social prestigious areas of Upper Township, she finds
the negatives to the remaining Township residents greatly outweigh any other
factors in this case. For this
reason she cannot recommend to Township Committee that Strathmere be permitted
to deannex. While she believes that
some of the petitioners concerns have merit they should be taken to Township
Committee.
A motion was made by Mr.
Kelly and seconded by Ms. Ragan, to prepare a report to immediately be forwarded
to Township Committee summarizing the findings of facts, analysis and assessment
of the impact of deannexation on both Upper Township and Strathmere and
recommending to the Township Committee that the petition be denied for
deannexation.
In favor: Kelly, Brown,
Ragan, Kissling, Bready, Schroder, Corson, Palombo, and Scrocca.
