Lakewood Township Planning Board's hearing on Application SD 2511, filed under the name Yeshiva Chemdas Hatorah, (and fully owned by developer Sharon Dachs of Deerfield Holdings), which could add an additional 500 cars to the Cross and James Street traffic, was scheduled to be continued tonight. However, the hearing has been postponed to December 6th.
The Planning Board heard initial testimony on the application at their September 6th hearing. It was then carried to the upcoming meeting tonight, November 15th. However, it is being carried to September 6th due to attorney unavailability, FAA News has learned.
The application seeks approval to build a brand new residential development at the 17.5 acre parcel on the northeast corner of Cross Street and James Street with 125 homes plus basement apartments. That is 250 families, and approximately 500 cars. For some unexplained reason, the developer is trying to get away with a very undersized playground.
See here for the full background report on how Lakewood Township officials paved the way to enable this application to be presented as a permitted use.
At the initial hearing, Board Member Eli Rennert called this application "abuse of the 2018 Ordinance". Board Chairman Moshe Neiman agreed with that terminology and added that "the background of this application is too murky for us to vote on this application."
Chairman Neiman attempted to settle with Mr. Pfeffer to resubmit as an R-12 (single family homes on 12,000 sq feet lots). Mr. Pfeffer held his ground that "our application stands as submitted".
