Frank Mancuso, an attorney for the petitioner, addressed the board. We want to cooperate with the township to resolve any issues from the past owner. We will bring the property into compliance.

None of the permits match the work that was done there. We need to sit down and work out what happened there over those years. McCririe - It is my opinion that we assemble a group made up of the petitioner, their attorney, the Township Supervisor, Manager and our Attorney to work out some resolution to the problems.
