The Brick Township Planning Board quickly resolved the last remaining issue before Chick-Fil-A would be allowed to begin building its location in the township.
The fast food chain has been long seeking to build a location at 520 Route 70, adjacent to the Lowe's Home Improvement store. The board approved the restaurant's construction in late 2011 but the chain's representatives were required to come in one last time for a discussion on the building's odor control, as required in a resolution approving its construction.
"Chick-Fil-A has about 1,700 restaurants, and none of them have ever had a problem with odor," said Timothy M. Prime, a Mount Laurel-based attorney who represented the restaurant chain before the board.
Prime said the restaurant's kitchen would include hoods over its equipment with state of the art filters. He also said there would be no open flame cooking which would produce exhaust smoke.
"We don't believe it will be a problem," said Prime, who warned further delays could jeopardize the project.
"If this store is not under construction soon, it's not going to make it on this year's build list, and we don't know what would happen after that," he said.
Board attorney Joseph Coronato suggested the board grant the chain administrative approval to begin construction, but stipulate that if there are any odor issues, the board would reserve the right to enforce further regulations.
"At some point of time if there is an odor, the applicant would have to come back within 30 days to address the issue," said Coronato.
The board, after Prime's assurance and advice from Coronato, unanimously approved the project.
Showed a brick family sitting at the kitchen table all drinking bottles of beer, People were in an uproar about it. LOL!
cameras monitor our every move at traffic intersections --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nope! That's how the traffic lights control options like left turn lanes, instead of sensors buried under the roadway. Much easier to repair/replace in the event of a malfunction. Who care where you make a turn? Sound a bit PARANOID to me... If you don't have a tinfoil hat yet, here's more fodder for you.... If you have a smart phone, the gov't can know where you are as long as the battery in it is working, if they really cared to, but the likelihood is extremely low. Same deal with EZ Pass . The cops video scan parked cars' license plates for suspected violators in major cities. Anything you buy with a credit card , or whenever you use a grocery store customer card for discounts, or most of the things you do online are recorded , There are 6 trackers on this website alone : adtech, advertising.com, chartbeat, facebook connect, new relic, and twitter button. Check for yourself with Ghostery or another tracker blocker. Lots of personal intrusion out there, the camera-like devices at traffic lights isn't one of them.

After Flooding THREE Times on my block in less than 30 days here in Brick, I also reject the term 'Bricktucky'. I submit we are now "Brickissippi". Minnows in our bread draws and periscopes on our cars. And with all the chemical pollution in the flood waters, maybe we won't have to raise our houses. We will adapt, and grow Gills!
