IF even one of them passes, it will definately change our requirments. Why are we in so much of a hurry? We over build in the last round in hopes that the state would appreciate it by giving us extra credit. It backfired ; we did not get any 3 round credit for building ahead of time.

As any development triggers a COAH obligation or potential obligation, I believe preserving farmland is an appropriate discussion. If we can preserve it then no building can occur. Now, in this particular instance, I am not sure if the property or easment is really developable land. However, I would have no issue exploring the cost of preserving large tracts of land, deed restricting it agriculture use and then selling or leasing it back out. <br /> <br />Naturally, I am all for rateables, but not under the present COAH regulations.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon, Jan 26 2009, 2:21 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: The 1/26/2009 Township Committee meeting agenda has been posted.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">There are bills pending approval, in fact a large number of them.

We need to be not only cutting the budget; but should be delaying projects that are not immediately needed. <br /> <br />Since the state will probably not have any money to give Cranbury in 2009; The TC should also be talking to the school board to help them find unique ways to stretch their current budget (rather than increasing it). <br /> <br />Just a Heads-up. <br />I'd have to tell you right now; If the school board asks for more money again (received an extra 1 million for each of the last 2 years running); I'd have to say - "No Way - Go Back and figure it out".</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat, Jan 24 2009, 1:22 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: The 1/26/2009 Township Committee meeting agenda has been posted.</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">The January 26, 2009 Township Committee meeting agenda has been posted. <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.cranburytownship.org/TC_Agenda_012609.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.cranburytownship.org/TC_Agenda_012609.pdf</a></td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />In these hard financial times we are still preserving farm land ? <br />I like land preserved myself but enough is enough.
