I don't disagree with you. It likely does matter and I may be too emotional about the subjest to adequately represent myself. Luckily, we have hired professionals to do that for us going foreward. I'll just write the checks! And I'm fine with that.  |

Solutions to enable this include- smaller house or lot with a legitimate ingress (not that which is currently proposed) AND egress on Main Street. Putting the house on Maplewood is another way to accomplish this if it cannot fit on Main.
The zoning, etc. etc, are just what law we have on our side to defend this. Again, this is not just some whiny demand- we have the law on our side and plenty of resources to pursue. It's pretty simple. |
"and if they want a larger house...too bad" It just seems to me that the tone of this debate does not help your cause. If you don't think tone matters, you have never been involved in these cases before. |

Of course there is. I drive through or into town multiple times a day and there's always parking. That's why I laugh when people try to say there's a "problem." |
It's hard to believe that after all of the posts/comments to this board people still think that parking is the only issue being debated. Does everyone have ADD or what? |

Would you please stop with all the annoying posts about the Blue Rooster. Everyone knows they don't have parking, but its spilled milk at this point. |

| Someone much more knowledgable than I should chime in on this. As I recall they did not provide the parking that was required for an expansion of that size. They were building an out structure right on the property line that required some variances. I don't recall if they needed variances for the main structure. |

| what were the main issues in the Inn scenario. Seems like the Maplewood case has valid legal support. What was the objections in the INN case? |

Prediction. It will be like the Cranbury Inn. Recall that fight. The neighbor's were successful in delaying the project by one or two years and costing the Inn tens of thousands of dollars in legal bills.
In the end the Inn got pretty much what they asked for. The residual was a boatload of hard feelings that exist until today. Their are residents that are not welcome in the Inn.
Let's all watch the fun. |

| This will be interesting to watch. If Maplewood residents are successful, other groups of residents may follow suit (yes, pun intended). |

| Not so fast. The objectors have filed a letter today with the planning board professionals requesting (with supporting evidence) taht the the application should be dismissed or transferred to the zoning board. If this is a "formality" which is exactly what the objectors feared all along, this group is prepared to appeal in court. They have excellent representation. You'll read about it in tomorrow's Cranbury Press as well. |
