North Brunswick resident clears air over dispute

I feel I should correct a misquote that appeared in a Nov. 24 story in the Sentinel. In January, 2004, Judge Travis Frances rendered a decision that a fence I installed on my property, which Guseppi Inzano took to Superior Court to order me to remove, stays. The correction is that the judge did not say that I had “squatters rights” on the dedicated 50-foot strip of property referred to in the lawsuit. I have owned this property since the late ’50s.

The same article quoted Mayor Francis Womack as saying the town has no intention of vacating the 1986 dedication mentioned above. I tend to think maybe, just maybe, the town would have considered vacating this dedication (as the council did in 2000) if I would have agreed to their request — to give away parcels of my property to three abutting property owners to enhance a front lawn and enlarge side lines. I did not agree.

The dedication is for a public road, but that intended continuation of this proposed 500-foot road has in the middle of where there was to be a public road, recently planted grass and trees.

I understand the residents of Shady Glen Drive are not in favor of a public road, nor are they in favor of my new driveway into Shady Glen Drive’s cul-de-sac.

One opposed resident called the township when construction was started, and with close monitoring of the work, someone within one hour after the men finished wrote obscenities in the wet cement.

These obscenities do not affect me or the use of my driveway, but the repulsive, foul words in the wet cement have created an inappropriate play area where the neighborhood have enjoyed playing for years. Could it be possible someone riding on Church Lane smelled the wet cement, hidden in the corner of the cul-de-sac and did this lowlife act? I don’t think so.
