We got a giggle out of this one , the applicant’s traffic engineer Hal Simoff insisted that the site would not create additional traffic,where have all heard that before ?
Glen Rock Mall and Apartments, the applicant for the proposed development, wants to build 69 residential units within three buildings and “35,615 square feet of interior gross commercial area,” and sought a “minor” variance to permit the parking stall size of 10 feet by 20 feet to reduce to 9 feet by 18 feet, the applicant’s lawyer Stephen Sinisi said at the hearing.
After a four-hour long meeting, in which planning board members heard from Sinisi’s expert witnesses to allay concerns of safety, of Mayor Kristine Morieko, Police Chief Dean Ackermann and Ed Morley, all members of the Planning Board , but they still voted ‘no.’ while members In favor of the motion were chair Scott King and Sue Tryforos.
We should not be having all these apartment buildings in our towns.. we are too crowded and have no space for anymore people…………
Your opinion does not count.
