Nuclear War, Riparian Issues

(From Pagel) state of New Jersey and they may have to buy it back from the state Under laws dating back to pre-colonial days, the state owns all riparian lands, but has laid claim to only a fraction of the tidewashed land. A court ruling 21 years ago required the state to identify the land over which mean high tide flows, or land that the tide no longer flows over because it was filled in as a prerequisite to making a formal ownership claim. Only limited mapping activity occurred, but last year’s constitutionpl amendment, voted upon via referendum, accelerated the process. When th§ maps were made public. homeownen|became distressed when they learned, much to ftieir surprise, that they might have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars foi*the homes they thought they already owned. Now the second riparian referendum in two years will come before the voters. This one is aimed to help out the homeowner so he or she may have Unmake only tokeri payment. The proposed change would allow the state to'treat residential and business properties differently when the value is set. Number 5 on the ballot, the referendum asks approval of an amendment which authorizes the legislature to enact laws “to establish the criteria by which consideration shall be fixed for a grant or lease of any land subject to the assertion of a riparian claim by the state, which consideration may be less than the fair market value of the state's interest” and “To differentiate, in establishing these criteria, between properties which are being utilized for different purposes." A THIRD STATF referendum authorizes the sale of $170 million in bonds to be used for construction and improvement of correctional facilities to alleviate present and anticipated overcrowding problems in state and county prisons. A fourth question, if passed, would remoVe the re-

quirement that federal matching -funds must b^cortimitted before the start of cont stmetifov'of nursing home facilities for disabled veterans. The 1980 bond act did not anticipate the federal budget freeze on moneys earmarked for the matching funds and it was not the original intention that these facilities should not go forward to the degree possible without the federal funds, according to an ihterpretive statement attached to the budget. The final state question involves a community development bond issue. It calls for the sale of $85 million in general obligation bonds of the state. $45 million of which will capitalize the New Jersey Local', $30 million for counties, municipalities and other entities for financial assistance of projects encouraging local revitalizatiori and development, and $10 million to-create and develop urban industrial parks. Three municipalities will, ask their residents to decide matters involving changes in government. Wildwood’s voters will decide whether they want to change their form of govefnjnent to mayorcouncil The mayor would be elected directly by the people. Two councilmen would be elected at large and one. from each of the three wards. Upper Township’s voters will decide whether they want to increase membership on the township committee frpm three to five. Lower Township will vote on a charter study. Twelve candidates are seeking five positions on the study commission. They will serve only if the charter study is passed. . Wildwood Crest has a hot issue on whether to charge beach fees on its ballot and Cape May will ask its voters to decide whether to change the existing maximum building height of 45 feet to 35 feet for primary and beach businesses, hotelsmotels and service businpss-light industrial zoning districts.
