Solicitor: Green Acres property served; council urged to build action plan
Summary
Solicitor Joseph DiNicola told Woodstown Borough Council a letter about the Green Acres property has been served (in-person and by company) and that the recipient has 60 days to respond; Mayor Joseph Hiles favored full removal and Public Works and the borough engineer will coordinate a site assessment.
Solicitor Joseph DiNicola Sr. updated the Woodstown Borough Council on June 23 that the borough has served notice related to the Green Acres property and is now operating on a 60-day response timeline. DiNicola said certified mail was picked up on June 17, the Woodstown Police served notice in person on June 9, and a servicing company delivered notice on June 19, 2026. He advised the council to prepare a plan of action because the letter opens a statutory response window and flagged the matter as one that could require further legal steps.
Mayor Joseph Hiles asked whether Public Works could proceed with the previously discussed remedial action. Public Works Supervisor James Farro said the department is prepared to move forward and requested an engineer to confirm property-line limits on site. Borough Engineer Erik Biermann said a week’s notice would secure his availability. Mayor Hiles expressed a preference for complete removal rather than an adjustment and asked that Police and Animal Control be present if crews perform on-site work.
The solicitor’s update did not record a formal vote; DiNicola’s timeline and the mayor’s direction set the next procedural steps: staff will arrange an on-site assessment with the engineer and Public Works, and the council will monitor the solicitor’s 60‑day statutory response period. The council did not adopt formal action at the June 23 meeting on this item.
