Bulgaria to woo tourists with cultural gems
The tourism industry in Bulgaria is largely dependent on the country's summer seaside and mountain ski resorts, while cultural tourism accounts for just 15 percent of revenue.Sofia -- Bulgaria will develop cultural sites including the Valley of the Thracian Kings with its ancient treasure-filled burial tombs to boost its tourist appeal, traditionally focused on ski and seaside resorts, ministers said Wednesday.
"We view culture tourism as a priority sector with great growth potential in the future," Ivo Marinov, deputy economy minister responsible for tourism, told reporters, as the government launched a new strategic plan for the sector.
"Bulgaria is the country with the third largest cultural heritage in Europe (after Italy and Greece)... but it hasn't made full use of it so far," Marinov said.
The tourism industry in Bulgaria is largely dependent on the country's summer seaside resorts and its mountain ski resorts, while cultural tourism accounts for just 15 percent of revenue.
A study commissioned by the government found that one in five tour operators said their clients wanted to visit more cultural sites.
Lack of infrastructure around the sites, however, was cited as a major obstacle.
"We have over 40,000 cultural sites. But we cannot develop all of them and should instead focus on the most attractive," said deputy culture minister Todor Chobanov said.
Among the priority sites is the so-called Valley of the Thracian Kings in central Bulgaria, the region around the magnificent Belogradchik Rocks to the northwest and the ancient Thracian city of Perperikon to the southeast.
Others included the capital Sofia and the central city of Plovdiv, as well as the Black Sea coast and mountainous regions which offer ecological and religious tourism.

Bert and Ernie are not going to get married.
You didn't realize they were gay?
Well, they are men who live together, have effeminate characteristics, and bicker.
What? We aren't supposed to categorize homosexuals based on stereotype?
That's because you, dear reader, are a conservative. Your rash generalizations, prove your obvious bigotry. When liberals do it, they are being progressive and provocative.
But there was more than just stereotype to the Bert-and-Ernie-Are-Gay conspiracy. "Ever notice how similar my hair is to Mr. T's?" Bert once Tweeted. "The only difference is mine is a little more 'mo,' a little less 'hawk.'" This was timed to coincide with the release of The A-Team, but some gay rights advocates believed this was Bert's "coming out" tweet.
"Mo," you see can be read as short for "homo."
What do you mean we aren't supposed to have derogatory nicknames for this demographic?

Each of my branch offices have their own email domain. When we our company split we started creating new email addresses with the email@example.com format instead of firstname.lastname@example.com format. Since some of the email domains are long this creates addresses that can total more than 30 characters. I have had a few of my branches clients tell me that their email systems will not accept email from an address that is longer than 30 characters. Has anyone encountered this?
I can see where things like logins could have limits but I don't see why an email should get rejected for a long email address. When I worked for the City of Stephenville just their email domain was @ci.stephenville.tx.us which means at least half of the City employees had email addresses longer than 30 characters. We never had an issue with rejected emails.

I wish I knew. Our email domains changed last year and one of my employees was having trouble notifying several people about his email address change. He finally got through to one of his clients and they responded telling him their systems only would receive emails that where less than 30 characters. They gave no indication of why this was or what system they were using. They are with GE.

Charity Defends John Mayer as 'Kind, Caring' | USsPost.com
February 15, 2010 by Post Team
Charity Defends John Mayer as 'Kind, Caring' | USsPost.com:LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Just hours after controversy erupted over a new interview John Mayer gave to Pl**yboy, where he used racial and gay slurs, the rocker broke down on stage.
While playing at Nashville's Sommet Center on Wednesday night, the 32-year-old musician stopped the show and addressed the interview, which he had previously apologized for on Wednesday via Twitter.
"In the quest to be clever… I completely forgot about the people that I love and that love me," he said in clips posted on YouTube while performing his song, "Gravity," adding that he was living in a world of "selfishness and greediness and arrogance."
"[I tried to be] speedy and witty and pull together as many fast words and phrases as I could, that I would be clever enough to buy myself another day without thinking that anybody would finally pin me down and say, 'You're a creep,'" he continued in the clip. "When I should have just given that up and played the guitar… I didn't. So, I decided I would try to be as clever as possible all the time, and I did that at the expense of people that I love and that feels absolutely terrible. Feels worse than any headline I thought I could get my way out of."
And with a trembling voice, John then turned to his band mates and thanked them for their support.
"I think it's important that you know that everybody on this stage is here playing with me not because they condone what I say in any given interview… they're on this stage because they support myself as a possible future grown-up," Mayer said while the audience cheered. "And maybe they see something that I haven't looked at in awhile. So maybe I need to take a break from trying to be clever and spend a little time looking at what they see – because they've done an unbelievable thing by standing on this stage and standing by my side playing tonight."
The rocker, who is known for his frequent use of social media Web sites, then announced that he's quitting "the media game."
"It's just not worth being clever," he continued. "I quit the sound byte game, I quit the media game. I'm out. I'm done. I just want to play my guitar to whoever is around."
Adding, "My name is John Mayer and I'm gonna figure that out."
Mayer has remained silent on Twitter since Wednesday afternoon.
As previously on AccessHollywood.com, his controversial Pl**yboy interview also included a revealing look back at his past relationships with Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston – and also his infamous kiss with gossipmonger Perez Hilton.

Fun place to go with great music... Schema plays there a lot & they are definitely worth checking out! Always a great crowd, nice bartenders, & good food. Their fried pickles & fried green tomatoes are awesome... The Lowcountry Eggrolls are one of my favorites as well! To the person that did not have good service, I would certainly say give the Shelter another chance! They were really packed the first few weeks of being open. Go try a Hurricane & enjoy the nice fall weather :)
This is one of our favorite go to's for good food and a great scene! So many items on the menu that we love and great drinks as well! Love that it is dog friendly and it has the best outdoor seating on the peninsula.
My husband and I first went to Bacco a few months ago (after passing it numerous times and saying "we need to try that place!"). It was everything we had hoped for and more. The bread is magical - very crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. The half-carafe of red wine is tasty and reasonably priced. The fettuccini alfredo is full of flavor but not as heavy as others I've had/ But the star of the place for me is the PAPPARDELLE AL TELEFONO. So simple, yet so amazing. It's just pappardelle pasta with house-made mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil, but it's probably the best tomato sauce I've ever had. It's a dish I dreamed about afterwards. We've now made it somewhat of a tradition to go for a date night on Friday night when we're in town. I can't say enough good things about this place! You absolutely have to try it!
Bowens Island has been a cool seafood joint for years, but they have recently improved the already wonderful experience. The food is still just as amazing as it used to be. I strongly suggest the fried shrimp and the oysters (when in season). They have really perfected their process of cooking shrimp, and it is always prepared perfectly. What would make the experience better? Well, consider washing that delicious food down with a wonderful local craft beer. Bowens Island now has 10 taps, all devoted to local beer. As far as I know, that makes it the best place to go in Charleston for local craft brews. They have offerings from Palmetto, Holy City, COAST, and Westbrook. You will have a hard time finding a better environment for dining during the cool Fall evenings here in the Lowcountry.
Had the best burger I've had in months at Shelter! AWESOME!
NEW HOURS MON-FRI 4pm-2am & Sat 6pm-2am.....Come join Toni Ray & The Hot Ladies for Happy Hour 4pm-8pm! $2 Domestics $3 House & Dance Specials!!
Great place to eat and great service !! Thanks for your southern hospitality Ashley.
Oscar's has been a main stay in Summerville for 30 years and is consistant in serving great food, providing excellent customer service and affordable prices. It's for sure on my list of favorites!
Back Home Bar and Grill serves up delicious food with great service. The menu offers something for everyone, and everything is really, really good. With its homemade bread and tender, perfectly seasoned beef, the Philly Cheese Steak is authentic and delicious and the Carnegie Deli-inspired Reuben is the best you'll find this side of NYC. And the fries...... they're fresh-cut and crisp, without being greasy.
We'll be back soon to try the Maine Lobster Roll!!
Best "bar" food in town!!!
The sirloin in a steamed bun, flatbread pizza and the bahn mi are out of this world. My wife really enjoyed the sweet and sour meatballs and the crab rolls (lobster style and she ate both)
One so-so dish (streak fries i.e. potatoes wedges) out of seven is 5-star. You're not going to save money by eating in the bar but a couple can share 6 or 7 amazing dishes and have a 2 or 3 drinks apiece plus a generous tip for about $150. It's laid back and delicious what more can you ask for.
Husk can be found in a beautifully restored residence on Queen Street. When you walk up to the restaurant, it reminds you of a prohibition-era estate with a beautiful landscaping and an impressive front porch that invites you inside with its Southern hospitality. The interior is very classic and southern, dark wood, with lots of little candles highlighting the architecture and design of the building that once housed residents. I would describe Husk's menu as a very inspired southern comfort food composed of ingredients produced exclusively in the south. Husk is another one of Sean Brock's many successes (you may have heard of McCrady's) and his southern roots and attention to detail are obvious in every part of the experience.
When you first sit down, you are greeted with a sweet grass basket of warm rolls topped with sea salt and benne seeds. The menu at Husk changes daily based on what ingredients are the freshest or what mood Brock is in. Although some of the dishes do show up on a regular basis, expect some surprises if you go more than once. Many of the dishes are pig-centric and all of them have a southern flair. For example, I had the crispy pig ear lettuce wraps which were like nothing I had tried before. For the entrée, I went with the duo of pork which consisted of a perfectly braised pork belly and an equally juicy pork shoulder. In addition to pork, there are plenty of other amazing options to choose from. We also had the wood-fired clams and pan seared sea bass which were both stunning. The quality of the ingredients is obvious and the execution was flawless across our table.
Our server provided just the right level of service - not too overbearing but never let our glasses sit empty. And on that note, if you are a fan of bourbon prepare to be delighted. The array of whiskies available at Husk will blow your mind. Many of them I had never heard of and some I had been dying to try but never seen them available. Husk's wine list has a good range of selections without being overwhelming. However I though the fact that it was organized by soil type was a bit pretentious of them. How many people know what type of wine they like based on the limestone content of the ground in grew in? That aside, our experience here was absolutely top-notch and the food is a great way to try southern food with a splash of elegance.
Our experience at FIG was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The mood is warm, the staff is inviting and knowledgeable, and the food is incredible. Our server, John, was very personable and really impressed me with his thoroughness and depth of knowledge of everything FIG. The first delight I experienced was their drink menu which featured some very creative cocktails. My focus immediately went to the 'build your own Manhattan' feature that allows you to custom design your perfect drink from a robust list of bourbons, vermouths, and bitters. Also very cool was the array of Negronis and other special proprietary cocktails offered.
Now onto the food...the focus here is on clearly on using locally sourced ingredients at their prime and treating them minimally to really honor the ingredient itself. Reading the menu, I immediately noticed that majority of selections begin with the actual source or location of the ingredients in the dish. We started out with the coddled Sea Island Farm egg and the chicken liver pate and pork ciccioli. So, I have never had a coddled egg and I really didn't know what to expect when we ordered it, but let me say this is an experience not to be missed. Our server brought out a tiny cast iron pot, removed the lid, and exposed a gently simmering sea of Parmesan cream, tiny croutons, and beech mushrooms. Diving into it, the egg yolk bursts and mixes with the broth to create a flavor that is absolutely sublime. The pate plate was perfect, the chicken liver and pork ciccioli were super smooth and flavorful and the pickled accompaniments and toasted brioche were just right.
For entrees we chose the ricotta gnocchi and suckling pig confit and were blown away by both. If you have never had ricotta-based gnocchi (as opposed to the more traditional and heavy potato-based) you have got to give it a try. Imagine plump clouds of sweet ricotta dumplings in a sea of deeply flavored lamb bolognese. Amazing. The suckling pig, sourced from nearby Caw Caw Creek Farms, is slowly confited and then the meltingly tender meat assembled rounded up and gently seared. Served with roasted beets and greens in a sea of pork jus this dish had everything.
Of the many higher end restaurants we have been to in Charleston, FIG sits right there at the top. What really differentiated this restaurant from some of the other top notch establishments was its lack of pretentiousness while still maintaining the experience. The food and service were perfect and we felt comfortable and welcome being there.
Nice dance floor and great bartenders!!! They have a bartender that should be in Vegas! He flips bottles and blows fire! Definately the most entertaining around here! They also have great steak specials on wednsdays.
We love the Break Room and everyone there! They have the best food! (Thank you, Nate!) Tony is the best bartender ever...we met "Bartender Bobby" the other night and he did a great job. Bobby is a very nice person! Good prices. The regulars there are the nicest people you would ever want to meet...Jan, Pete, Steve, Jerry, Missy, Jake, and of course...Willie :) just to name a few of the many. Great, very friendly, welcoming crowd. The Break Room is upscale without being snooty. We found the Break Room quite a while ago and we have become "Vacation Regulars"! Made good friends and we look forward to go there each time. We always feel welcomed by all! ~ Terry and Barbara Bozon, Raleigh, NC~
Always liked the Wolf Track but since I quit smoking, can't do it anymore.
Was a truly fun evening when the Wiggins Brothers played about a month ago maybe late June or early July 2012. I hope the 'Track' will have them back soon.
The Only Premier Jazz Bar in Town. This is a true experience!
This Place has the best food
Pearlz is great for happy hour. The menu is very reasonably priced for the quality of food. They have a tuna tartar dish that is a stand out, and the shrimp are perfectly fried. The fish tacos are unremarkable. I'm not an oyster person, so I can't speak for those, but people seem to love them. In addition, the draft beer is always really cold, and the bar tenders and servers are friendly and efficient. I've never had a bad experience at this place.
Close drive from airport. Friendly and outgoing staff knowledgeable on craft beer and wine. A quaint gourmet cracker-barrel (shop and eat: half wine/beer shop, half southern cafe)! Modest but stellar beer selection in back. Growler and bomber fills. I definitely will be back!

Obsidian (1986 video game)
Artic Computing magazine advert with Obsidian's artwork as the main image
|Tony Warriner
|Artic Computing
|Amstrad CPC
Obsidian is an action-adventure computer game for the Amstrad CPC personal computer published by Artic Computing in 1986. The game is set on the titular space station located within the centre of an asteroid, which is out of control and drifting towards a black hole. The player must guide an astronaut with a jet pack around the station and re-activate its engine shields to prevent the Obsidian's destruction. This involves collecting items and using them to solve puzzles, while avoiding the Obsidian's reactivated security systems.
Obsidian is the first game that was developed by Revolution Software co-founder Tony Warriner, who was a school pupil at the time. Due to concentrating on Obsidian's development rather than revising he failed all of his exams. The game received a positive response from journalists, it was praised for the quality of its graphics, reviewers held mixed views on the game's ability to maintain player interest. The jet pack was criticized for being too sensitive when responding to the player's movement inputs.
Obsidian is an action-adventure presented in two dimensions, spread across approximately 50 game screens.[1] Locations contrast between spaceship interior and rock surfaces. Players control a jet pack wearing astronaut who must deactivate the five engines of the titular spacestation Obsidian, which is located in the hollow centre carved out of an asteroid.[2] Objects are stored in gravity boxes on the station's ceilings, only one object can be held at a time. These are used to solve the game's puzzles and allow the player to continue further into the game.[3][4] Each object's purpose must be discovered as they are not labelled.[1]
The game world is filled with traps, laser defence mechanisms and security robots, all of which kill the astronaut on contact, resulting in the loss of one of his five lives. These defences must be shut down with objects obtained from gravity boxes in order to progress,[1] as the player has no weapon to directly attack the robots with.[4] The jet pack enables the astronaut to travel more quickly, but has a limited supply of nitro fuel. Should this fuel run out then the astronaut will lose a life. The spaceship contains points at which the jet pack can be refuelled, though these can be difficult to locate.[3][4]
The crew of the Obsidian have temporarily abandoned the vessel in order to allow it to pass through a black hole. The Obsidian's internal systems are capable of withstanding the black hole, but the station cannot shield its human inhabitants from the gravitational forces. The crew have taken refuge in a smaller craft which has been shielded, intending to return to the Obsidian when both vessels have passed through the black hole.[4] A radiation storm has damaged the Obsidian's engine protection systems and erased its flight path, leaving the station drifting towards the black hole where it will be destroyed. Only one member of the crew has the skills necessary to return to the Obsidian and prepare it to pass through the black hole, this is the game's player character. The astronaut is forced to contend with the Obsidian's re-activated security system which has resulted in security robots being deployed, the space station's internal doors sealing and defensive laser grids becoming active.[2] Once the player has restored power, reactivated the Obsidian's engines and reset the station's flight path, there is a limited time to teleport back to the smaller shielded craft before the Obsidian's engines carry the astronaut through the black hole without being shielded.[1]
Obsidian is the first game developed by Tony Warriner, one of four founders of the adventure game developer Revolution Software. Warriner was introduced to home computers at the age of 13, as a result of which he developed an interest in game development. This interest resulted in him creating Obsidian when he should have been studying for his school exams, resulting in him failing every exam. The game was published, however, resulting in the young developer's entry into the video game industry. Revolution Software was formed 4 years later.[5]
The reviewer for Amtix! magazine awarded the game a score of 64%, calling it "...an average, if rather simple, arcade adventure."[2] The same reviewer stated that Obsidian's graphics are its most striking feature. The lack of enemies and objects to manipulate in some screens and low number of sound effects received were criticized. The reviewer for Amstrad Action, Bob Wade, awarded the game a score of 81% and a 'A A Rave' award, praising the game's graphics and animations. He listed the game's robotics enemies as "annoying as you flick between screens".[3] The reviewers differed in opinion on how the game progressed. Wade stated "...as the playing area opens up it soon becomes clear that many objects will be required to complete the game and that some hard thinking as well as trial and error will be needed." Amtix!'s reviewer stated "The trouble was that it became all very predictable and easy to solve once a few puzzles had been solved."[2] Both reviewers stated that the jet pack's controls are too sensitive, making its usage difficult.[2][3]
Computer and Video Games' reviewer gave the game a score of 7 out of 10 in each of the magazine's scoring criteria — graphics, sound, value and playability. The reviewer stated that the game's premise is unoriginal, but that the game is enjoyable and makes "...full use of the Amstrad's colour graphics..."[1] The reviewer also stated "...the smooth movement of objects and characters makes this game a pleasure to watch and play."[1] The game was reviewed again in Amtix! by Massimo Valducci, several months later when Obsidian was re-released on the budget label Americana. Valducci stated it had been one of his favourite titles when it was originally released, giving the game a rating of 70% and stating "Everyone should have this game in their software collection."[4] He praised the game for adding a twist to the maze theme by disallowing the player from fighting back against threats. He added "...a lot of thought and planning is needed to make your way around the various sections, deactivating the security systems as you go."[4]

Harris / caldwell bipod comparison
Just got a caldwell pivoting bipod 9-13 inch adjustment (for me the perfect height for hunting prone position). it has the leg notches.
when side by side to my harris pivoting, you can tell the difference imediately.
first, the metal seems to be less finished off than the harris (sharper edges, forming marks, etc.). second, the finish seems of less quality (doesn't matter to me as i will be camoing it anyhow). third, the leg notch style seem to have some "slop" or play in them. the harris i was comparing it to has the round knob that you turn for height adjusment, and is rock solid.
if anyone has a harris with the leg notches, is this a similar problem with the notches having slop/play?
i tend to like the round knob style better for bench shooting as you can make "micro" adjustments with it. as this leg notch model will be used for hunting, the 1" increments may be ok.
i was a little surprised on how the legs extend, as they are locked into place, (you have to press what was once the closing button and the spring loaded leg pops out). which is completely opposite of the non notched legs where you pull them out by hand and kind of settle into the height you want. it may just be something i have to get used to, however my concern is that the internal leg springs may lose their potency as they will be compressed most of the time. may have to leave the bipod fully extended while in the safe to counteract that.
forth, the external springs for folding the bipod seemed to be of less quality / strength.
i had gotten a harris knockoff a few year's back made by shooters ridge, which didn't seem to have any of these problems.
the good thing is that the caldwell bipod is about $30 - $40 less than the harris, so that helps with the shortcomings (in my opinion) that it has.
so any of you guys have the harris with leg notches, let me know if your experienceing the same kind of slop, and if the harris legs deploy the same way (pops out when button is pressed).
I have a 9-13" Caldwell and a 13-27" Harris. I will never ever buy another type of bipod agian. Harris is the only bipod that will go on my rifles. It is of higher quality in fit and finish and function that my caldwell could ever think of being. My harris is much stronger and attaches quicker than the caldwell. I thik the harris is just an over all much better product. My caldwell works but it has folded up, collapsed on me and cost me a few shots.
thanks, that's what i thought. i should know by now that a copy is always a "duplicate". i also have the harris pivoting 13-27". i intend on carrying both the caldwell 9-13" on the rifle and the harris 13-27" i have in the pack to change for higher grass or deeper snow so i'll have the extra height once it sinks in.
i just wanted the lower height as sometimes the higher one gets uncomfortable and awkward when prone and waiting on a target that is partially covered to present itself.
went out woodchuck hunting this weekend with the caldwell, it's obviously not a harris. don't really like the leg notches, or the way the legs deploy or retract, but i can live with it for now.
thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Sunken Garden Poetry Festival
when I reached for the popcorn,
the onions fell gracefully.
gracefully they fell, acrobatic orbs
tumbling through space,
dancing through the dank air
of the pantry like ballerinas.
weightless, like ballerinas whose selves
are composed of their ability to float
out of themselves
and become motion, become rhythm.
the onions were liquid rhythm,
a vegetable waterfall.
they escaped the red mesh bag
and flew, drunk with freedom,
from the unimaginative wooden shelf.
but I caught them
returned the dancers
from their giddy self-exile
before they hit rock bottom:
the hard reality of the kitchen floor.
I placed them safe and sound
in the arms of the mesh bag,
knowing that someday they would come to love it
as Winston came to love Big Brother.

"This parcel of land is so environmentally sensitive that nothing should be built on it," said Judy Rothstein of Red Oak Lane regarding the proposed subdivision known as "The Preserve" now under review by the Planning Board. Mountainside Development Association, LLC of Florham Park has proposed to build 16 homes on 118 acres between Roc Etam Road and Mountainside Drive. A total of 83 acres would remain undeveloped and would be deeded to the township for open space.
The land is owned by ARC Essex Foundation Inc. of Livingston.
The original plan for the Preserve called for a total of 17 homes, including 14 homes on two cul-de-sacs stemming from the end of Roc Etam Road and three homes along Mountainside. That has since been changed to a total of 16 homes with only two on Mountainside.
Rothstein said she believes so strongly in the need to save the land from development that she hired an attorney, Tom Germinario, to represent her in her challenge. Rothstein has joined with Carol Hoffman of Neben Place, another vocal opponent to the proposed development.
The Planning Board meetings held to review the developer's application have been attended by a number of residents in opposition to the plan.
Prior History
The same developer has received approval for the controversial Kensington Square housing plan off Sussex Turnpike. A citizens group challenged the approvals but lost their appeal in Superior Court recently.
Rothstein said in an interview on Oct. 26 that the township's Open Space Committee had not taken the necessary steps to acquire the Preserve property before a developer offered to buy the land from the ARC.
Sandra Brinker, chair of the open space committee, noted in a memo on Oct. 15, 2 001 to township planner Chris Hellwig, that the Preserve property "was identified in 1994 as a priority by the first open space committee."
Rothstein said Councilman Jon Huston, the council liaison member of the open space committee, had previously assured her the township would try to buy the land.
According to Rothstein, there have been two differing opinions in the township as to which properties required immediate action and which could wait.
One opinion is that the primary targets for acquisition should be properties that had the highest potential for development, while those deemed environmentally sensitive with large wetlands and steeps slopes could wait because they would be less lucrative to a developer. The other opinion is that the environmentally sensitive land should be acquired first.
Huston said on Oct. 26 that the developer offerd to buy the land before the town ship could act. He also said the former, Republican-dominated council believed i n trying to first buy land with the highest potential for development and later purchase property with environmentally sensitive areas.
"Until the democrats won control of council in the 1999 election the first opinion predominated," said Huston. "By the time we were able to address the issue, the Preserve property was already under contract."
Councilman A.J. Manning, liaison to the Planning Board, said the township wanted to buy some of the Preserve, "but he wouldn't sell to them." Manning also said that Greg Hoff, former chair of the open space committee, had been assured by the ARC that they didn't intend to sell the tract.
A great deal of concern has been expressed in prior Planning Board hearings by residents and board members regarding three of the proposed lots, numbered 14, 15 and 16. As shown on the original subdivision plan, the three lots would have in fringed on the wetlands buffer zone. Board members were also concerned with the location of a detention basin.
At the hearing held in October, Mayor Ann Huber urged the developer to consider amending his plan to remove one lot and negate any effect on the wetlands buffer zone. The rest of the board concurred.
On Oct. 26, the developer filed a new proposal that reduces the number of dwellings to be built from 17 to 16 and moving one of the lots from the uphill area be hind Roc Etam to the opposite side of the property on Mountainside Drive.
"In effect, one lot has been dropped," said Hellwig. "The original lot on Mountainside will become two lots, and the remaining lot that was in question has been reconfigured to prevent any intrusion into the wetlands buffer zone. The detention basis has also been relocated to the area previously proposed for one of the building lots that was changed."
At the most recent board meeting on Monday, the question of ARC's legal ownership of the property was raised and settled. Rothstein's attorney had raised this question because a search showed that only a one-half ownership had been conveyed by deed, and there was no known record as to the owner of the other half interest.
The applicant's attorney, Glenn Geiger, advised the board that the half ownership had been transferred to ARC in the form of a stock transfer donated to Fairways at Preakness Valley Inc., a company wholly owned by ARC, effectively giving ARC full ownership.
Township Manager John Lovell testified on Monday that the lot being relocated to Mountainside Drive would conflict with the township's planned use of the nearby Granaus property.
Lovell said that if the lot is moved to the eastern corner of the property along Mountainside, the problem could be resolved. Lovell said the Granaus property i s a narrow, 10-acre tract that will connect 150 acres owned by the township to t he open space being offered by the Preserve developer.
Lovell asked the board to include three conditions, including that the new lot 1 5 be relocated, the open space land be given to the township in a feesimple deed, the developer be required to construct an eight-foot wide trail across the property in accordance with the same standards the township has used on other trails, as well as a small parking area for four vehicles at the trailhead on Mountainside Road.
Geiger questioned his client's ability to comply with construction of a trail du e to the extensive wetlands and need to obtain permits from the state Department of Environmental Protection. It was decided that if approval is given, the developer would be responsible for all financial costs in construction and obtaining permits, but that the township would assist with expertise.
Christopher Richter, the applicant's engineer, said that although variances were being sought on most of the proposed building lots, the variances pertained to construction of a new road, several driveways, and some drainage areas in moderately sloped areas.
Board member Harry Gerken asked if the need for variances could be eliminated if the lot sizes were increased. Richter said increasing lot sizes would remove approximately 20 acres from the open space area and create a development that would be less attractive.
Planning board attorney Anne Marie Rizzuto said Carol Hoffman, an opponent of the development, has filed an appeal with the Department of Environmental Protection claiming that documents submitted as part of the developer's application are not valid.
Rizzuto said that if Hoffman's appeal is successful, any board approvals would be negated.
The hearing will resume at 8 p.m., Monday, Dec. 3, when public comment will lead the hearing.
