Just what we need, more traffic!</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />First, the Township doesn't have the legal right to prevent property owners from developing sites consistent with the zoning nor can they zone for the purpose of preventing development. It can deny things that are not consistent with the zoning, and even that can't be unreasonably withheld. Townships are sued and lose all the time even denying waivers, spending taxpayer money defending the suits. <br /> <br />Second, as the previous poster noted the commercial development adds to the property tax base. You can't complain about taxes going up despite a smaller budget, which is related to the residential portion of the tax base increasing relative to commercial ratable portion, and complain about new development at the same time. <br /> <br />And I hate to tell you but there is a lot more truck traffic that will be generated by still undeveloped properties in Cranbury as-of-right. What has held it back is mostly the soft economy. Be prepared for thousands of more trucks on Route 130 and South River Road. There is nothing Cranbury can legally do to prevent it. The only thing that would help would be the Liberty Way extension. But that would cost millions and may not be viable environmentally.</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>anon-921r</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, Apr 26 2014, 4:35 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: The April 21, 2014 Township Committee meeting agenda and more</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Warehouse and hotels add revenue and decreases the property taxes.
