ReplyDeleteWhat is with the township adding additional land from an individual unto the cedarbridge area? So they dont pay taxes... Seems like they are moving very fast on this....
ReplyDeleteSomeone wants to get into the Cedarbridge campus game. There are lots of benefits to be had for those privately owned lots. Never mind that the taxpayers will be on the hook for his charade. He’s got the right connections and the regular peasantry don’t. It’s that simple.
ReplyDeleteSee Resolution 2022-137 and its companion Ordinance 2022-015.
DeleteThe Resolution’s purpose is for the Committee to fulfil its requirement to forward the lot owner's proposed Cedarbridge plan amendment (to take 2 parcels outside the Cedarbrige area that currently have no specialized property status and grant them special status with associated benefits) to the planning board for its review and preparation of a report recommendation back to the committee within 45 days of their receiving the review request.
So, the obvious question is why are the committeemen rushing to vote on approving the first reading of this Ordinance before the planning board even saw the proposal and the supposed reasons to support this Ordinance??
It seems mighty strange..
Hey! Relax there. The lot owner says that he has an "evolving land use condition" (not my words. read the ordinance.) So why not just give the guy the 35 year property tax break that he wants for his office complex. What's the big deal? If you don't like it, then go find yourself your own "condition"!
DeleteThe public needs to understand everything about this deal before we lose more tax money. What's wrong with granting him a basic 5-year tax abatement like many other people have received? Why are we giving this guy an extra THIRTY YEARS on top of that??
DeleteAnytime the township changes the status of land, it first needs a first reading, then send to the planning board for a non-binding recommendation, then a second reading. That's the process, planning board could chose to ignore and not waste their time, because the township will go ahead even if not recommended by the planning board.
DeleteCommitteeman Miller made the motion to approve the Ordinance on behalf of the individual property owner and the Committee voted Yes to move it to second reading on April 7th.
DeleteThey cover for each other it's a parting gift for all the hard work the last 25 years besides the big sevrance package.
DeleteI put these guys in political office. They get paid better than they ever imagined. They owe me!
DeleteAnon 12:28,
DeleteSection 4 of the Resolution states: "If the Planning Board Report is not transmitted to the Committee within forty five (45) days of the date hereof, the Committee shall be relieved of the requirement to obtain Planning Board Report for the Proposed Amendment to the Plan".
So, the deadline for the committee to receive the Planning Board's recommendation is April 17th. The problem is that the Committee has already scheduled the second reading for April 7th. So, it's apparent that they really are not interested in what the planning board has to say anyway.
Its a done deal the fix is in the mayor said it used to be part of the original cedarbridge bla bla bla
DeleteThis is coming from on high the pupets will do the bidding as told
DeleteI hope I don't win the raffle! I would think the builder would just charge more for the houses - unless there is no way a mortgage company would approve any larger loan.. do these buyers plan on charging their basements 2.5K a month? Everyday another program pops up the printing of the money has got to stop or will be venezuela
ReplyDeleteUsually a raffle is when a certain chasidus is the one committing to fill the development and they get a flat price to raffle off to their people.
DeleteThis is not a chasidish development as far as I know.
DeleteAsk any realtor- they have not sold a development (and almost any old house south of the lake) to a litvish person in 3 years. Prospect had new people moving in but they signed 3-4 years ago. Even the current people in older houses all know they will be bought out within 10-15 years.
DeleteWho is selling the duplexes? Who do I contact to be in the raffle?
ReplyDeleteI would also like to be in the raffle. Who do we contact? Although from previous post it looks like it took place already.
ReplyDelete$1.1 Million!
ReplyDeletejust wow!
50 Duplex houses at Cross Massachusetts development selling for $1.1 million due to many applicants a raffle was held for prospective buyers for first phase.
ReplyDeleteYou need to enter a raffle to pay $1.1 million dollars for a duplex? Am I reading this correctly or am I missing something? Is it for both units?
Um yeah. It is crazy if it's a raffle just to be able to the opportunity to buy.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget,the price is high because town officials... Have to get their CUT
ReplyDeleteNo shul there eithere
ReplyDeleteAnd for 1.1 million you get to sit in huge traffic jams along Cross St, that's one of the Freebies,a gift from the planning bd
ReplyDeleteIn Monroe Ny yesterday I paid 3.99 &9/10 which is $4.00 for gas.
ReplyDeleteIt may yet hit $10.00 this year, & watch for the wheat price bread basket. I magine bread at $10.00
Are Gov programs going to also rise because of inflation? $10 for gas or bread is insane!
ReplyDeleteCrazy that so many people are buying a duplex for 1.1-1.2 MILLION
ReplyDeletePeople need to realize that if they are over extending themselves to buy a house now then when inflation his harder the struggle gets worse. Property taxes will go higher too as inflation is hitting everything and the township needs to cover their budget.
DeleteThey r not paying, the rich Shver puts down the Dow payment, while his eidem, and the 2 bacement Tennant's pay him through hud
ReplyDeleteWhat about the guys who dont have rich shvers?
DeleteYou think?
DeleteIf only it was that simple. Not everyone can get onto HUD
ReplyDeleteNot everybody rents those houses
DeleteOur leaders are Silent as a few well paid corrupt Ganuvim,have Hijacked this town
ReplyDeleteSo Coles said yesterday that the lot was in the Cedarbridge zone then out of the zone now they are putting it back in the zone. hmmm.. It qualifies into the zone as it will offer jobs but we took it out of the zone. Just dont ask questions. It is good to have this done as our children and grandchildren will benefit from all the tax free offices in Lakewood as people have jobs there....Again dont ask too many questions It is all for our benefit. TRUST THEM.
ReplyDeleteThe mayor had me zoning out from all the ridiculous nonsense he was selling to the resident which questioned the legitimacy of this Ordinance. But I think that's what he was trying to do. He speaks like a true politician.
DeleteNew jersey surpassed 30000 covid deaths?
ReplyDeleteLIARS. LIARS. LIARS.
Every few days they pick random deaths as corona deaths and that's how they build their data. Not a word from these rascal so-called heroes so-called medical professionals can ever be believed again.
Come on. Whatever you're political persuasion, ask the doctor this happening in hospitals from different communities
