County Asks Additional Parking By JOE ZELNIK COURT HOUSE — The county lacks enough parking spaces for its proposed renovated court house and will ask Middle Township if it can count the 110 spaces in its municipal parking lot entered via Boyd Street. Without that, the county would have to ask the township planning board for a variance to permit the $6-million renovation. That's because the township Site Plan Ordinance requires on parking space for every 250 square feet. That translates to 337 parking spaces for the renovated building, even though the county says the project doesn't mean more employes. TTie current parking lot, which serves both the Main Street courthouse and the county library qffice building on Mechanic Street, would have 238 spaces after being redesigned. There are 112 employes in the courthouse, according to the county. The county also says it has an agreement to use 25 spaces in the municipal lot because the county and township worked together on that project in the mid-70s.

Trash Train Posed; Still Off Track By GREGG LAWSON MIDDLE TOWNSHIP — A trash train, a 10-mile wastewater pipeline, and poisonous fly ash were among the issues raised at a "regional roundtable" on resource recovery at the Wetlands Institute last week. Only nine county residents came to the institute Oct. 15 to ask questions and voice complaints about the proposed Municipal Utilities Authority (MUA) trash-to-energy plant at its landfill of the Woodbine-Upper Township border. Louis Weiner. president of the Ocean View Civic Association, resurrected the idea of using the old PennsylvaninaReading Seashore Line to transport garbage to the plant. The idea was previously proposed by Wildwood Crest Mayor Frank McCall two years ago. "AS, FAR AS I KNOW, (the MUA) just wrote it off as being too expensive." McCall told this newspaper. "But I believe there are abandoned railroad cars available throughout the nation through grants of the federal government. " Part of the line runs from Cape May Point to Tuckahoe, and is owned by New Jersey Transit Its tracks are approximately one-quarter mile from the landfill, (Page 53 Please)
