A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to addressing complaints from residents regarding overgrown vegetation on Scots Corner Road, which borders Cranbury and Plainsboro. Residents adjacent to the property expressed concerns about the responsibilities for maintaining the grass and trees between the sidewalk and the main road. It was clarified that the responsibility lies with the Cranbury homeowner on Osprey Court. The issue involved collaboration with Plainsboro code officials to confirm property lines and responsibilities. The homeowner was informed of their obligation to address the overgrown vegetation.

The meeting also covered routine environmental inspections, including sewer and well inspections. Notably, a reinspection was required for a building sewer on Cranberry Neck Road, while other inspections received approval. Water sampling was conducted at Bernard Lake, with results indicating satisfactory conditions. The board received a detailed report from Garden State Laboratories confirming low counts in the lake’s surface sample.

In health news, the board highlighted an article related to meat allergies caused by the lone star tick, with cases reportedly occurring in New Jersey. The board plans to share this information with residents to raise awareness. Additionally, December 1st marked the beginning of National Influenza Week, and the board encouraged residents to receive respiratory vaccines, with clinics available through the New Jersey Department of Health.
