[quote="anon-8p53"][quote="anon-9p12"]Was it purposeful that you did not mention that there are two new restaurants coming to downtown and that the bookworm is being redone as a home to help build your case? [/quote] What are the two new restaurants? You can't count Molto Bene since it is just relocating from a different Main Street location.[/quote]

However, that is as far as it can be pushed. Taking that an extending it to 61 townhouse, plus affordable unites plus a 5000 square foot bank and other retail is taking it was to far. <br /> <br />To the Mayor's post. Thank you for the clarifications. That being said, this is essentially a negotiation between a developer and the various boards/committees/councils. Granted, we are in the beginning stages of that. However, when you look back on this scenarios, the beginning stages are usually where the negotiations were won b/c one party set themselves up strong and the other weak. <br /> <br />To the decision makers here: <br /> <br />Keep something in mind. We are Cranbury. We do not need to cater to this one developer. We also do not need to cater to the three residents who allowed this lot to fall into disrepair. They will be gone and financially better off regardless of how this plays out. It is us who will live with the results, not them. Think of how different this town would be if Liedtke Drive was 80 townhouses. Think of the overall detriment that would be to the town. <br /> <br />Be the aggressor not the caterer. Don't tell the other party that they are our only option as was amazingly stated at the latest meeting. Tell them we have developers chomping at the bit for this and if they don't stick within our plan, someone else will. Play the game from the driver's seat, not the backseat. <br /> <br />When someone makes a ridiculous statement like "30% or so will be residences with school children". Call them out and let them know that we are smarter than to believe that BS. These are 3000 sf townhouses. Does any really believe that 70% of the residents in 3000 square foot townhouses will be people without children. That is complete absurdity.

The benefit in this case unlike a Master Plan is that we're not dealing in theory as we did in 2010. <br /> <br />The subcommittee’s redevelopment plan proposal then goes before the Planning Board for review, a hearing and a recommendation for approval to the Township Committee. The Township Committee can adopt, amend or reject the redevelopment plan, and it has to act by ordinance, which requires another public hearing. <br /> <br />Both the Planning Board and the Township Committee will take into account the Master Plan, but the Township Committee has the authority to override that document under certain circumstances. <br /> <br />All actions for hearing and adoption are done in public. <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Building Approval Phase</span></span> <br /> <br />The development approval phase of this project is no different than any developer coming into town. <br /> <br />Once the zoning rules are established the builder may opt to go before the Development Review Committee which is a non-binding board or commission. No developer is ever forced to go before the DRC, but it can benefit them. <br /> <br />When the builder is ready to develop they will submit an application and site plan to the planning board which is the appropriate board to hear the application in this instance. <br /> <br />The planning board in a public meeting will conduct the hearing in the same manner that they treat all other applications. <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Final Note</span></span> <br /> <br />As stated above, all actions for hearing and adoption are done in public, will continue to be and we'll continue to keep residents informed. <br /> <br />Meetings were held as follows: <br /> <br />December 22- TC meeting- initial agreement to review. <br /> <br />March 12- PB meeting- review of report. <br /> <br />March 23- TC meeting- review of report on area and agreement to proceed. <br /> <br />June 9- Public Information session. <br /> <br />There will be at least 2 more future public meetings on the zoning aspect of the area. <br /> <br />There will be further meetings at the Planning Board level at the Building Approval phase. <br /> <br />Until the June meeting no proposed figures were discussed and at this point no figures on density or any other element are final. <br /> <br /> <br />As always, I am very happy to address any concerns raised. <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />Jay Taylor</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>anon-2527</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, Jun 15 2015, 2:30 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Downtown needs help, not South Main/hagerty/Cheney/Sockler/Kushner</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">The above math is based on two lots per acre.
