[quote="Guest"][quote="Guest"]There has always been arguement that you need to develop 130. This board gets posts on the development of 130 for retail. At some point we either need to recognize that the PB has been correct that we need to protect the down town and restrict retail or that we need to open 130 for retail and the PB has been wrong. We can't complain that there is no retail allowed on 130 and then complain that the PB is allowing retail on 130. The proposed apartments are not COAH. They are 1-2 bedroom market rate apartments. Much like we see in other towns with apartments on top and retail below. I don't really have a hard position one way or the other. I just think the town residents need to decide what it is that they want on 130.[/quote] Sounds like you were at the meeting last night. Were you?[/quote]

I am all for careful planning and no one is suggesting that “steps aren’t being taken.” Isn’t that the whole point of the current process? The issue is do you really discourage ANY retail development on 130 because you believe that it can be developed on Main successfully and you fear letting it go on 130 will choke off Main development? Or do you accept either that Main and 130 can handle different retail due to their unique characteristics, or more cynically that Main is a lost cause but for a very narrow niche of retail development. <br /> <br />We don't help anyone if fear of any consequence leads us to preserve a status quo where neither Main Street is thriving and 130 goes undeveloped. Eventually land owners get fed up if local Townships throw up endless arbitrary roadblocks to any reasonable development and when their backs are against the wall they go legal. The net result is often worse than if a municipality got behind a reasonable plan and found a middle ground that worked for land owners and served the purpose of the community. And the community could benefit from some retail on 130. <br /> <br />I don’t pretend to have access to all the facts the planning board does or to have all the answers. Personally I would think we should try to prioritize getting retail on 130 over commercial, which usually has a higher headcount calculation (note what the reality is of a modern warehouse headcount is not relevant since NJ uses hypothetical calculations that vastly over-estimate commercial space headcount) and therefore may impact our future affordable housing obligations, or high density residential which burdens our schools and municipal services disproportionately to incremental tax revenue and therefore further burdens existing taxpayers. Since courts tend to be highly developer-friendly in New Jersey, we will ultimately have to let them do something and retail is the best choice.</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: Wed, Nov 17 2010, 7:54 am EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury's Low Rent District?</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">There are plenty of those already nearby and who deliver.
