Council flags drainage and tree concerns after Knickerbocker Country Club variance
Summary
Councilors said the Knickerbocker Country Club received a soil-permit variance; residents worry new drainage will increase flow into municipal streets and the borough is monitoring tree-permit work after wildlife officials were contacted about a possible endangered bat.
Council members reported that the Knickerbocker Country Club received a soil-permit variance that will permit installation of new drainage features. Speaker 1 and residents raised concerns about where additional stormwater will be routed and emphasized the need for engineering review to avoid flooding of nearby yards.
Council members said the club is expected to contribute to tree-escrow but may not be planning full replanting; the borough's DPW will review tree-permit work. Staff also noted New Jersey wildlife officials have been contacted about a possible endangered bat habitat in the trees; if wildlife authorities confirm a protected species, tree removal could be delayed or limited.
