Last night the Lakewood Planning board approved a application to subdivide the 86 acre parcel of land that stretches from Pine street to Cedarbridge Avenue into 4 lots. Two parcels one of 69 acres and the other of 6 acres will remain owned by the Township of Lakewood for future development.
The other two parcels were approved for development. One parcel for 3.8 acres and the other for 7 acres. The board approved a 23,000 sq foot retail center, a 20,000 sq ft office building, a chase bank at 3,500 sq feet and a pad for 3,300.
Board members said this application has nothing to do with last years application for the shopping mall since its at the other end of the parcel opposite the stadium entrance. One board member said people should not read the blogs or rely on it for information. (Because the professionals and developers are honest and upfront about all the applications)
The Developer hired a traffic engineer who conducted a study during bein hazmanim since they had to wait for motorists to get used to the traffic signal at the intersection of cedarbridge and Ave of the States. The testimony was that the traffic will not be more than a level C which means that the average vehicle delay would be 25 seconds more at the intersection of cedarbridge and ave the states. Blueclaws traffic wont effect, since most games start after 6 o'clock.
A Resident challenged the traffic engineer how can they make a study when BMG and the schools were not in session. Additionally why do we trust a paid traffic study hired by the developer as opposed to other cities were the town does the study and the developer reimburses them.
Another resident pointed out that there is no affidavit on ownership of the property and the Mayor has to sign off since the township stills owns it until its given over and developed.
