At last night's planning board meeting an objector corresponded with the board administrators to alert them to a serious conflict of interest issue regarding a Major Site Plan application (SP 2451 / 500 BLVD LLC) for a huge office complex in the Cedarbridge campus.
ReplyDeleteThe issue was that the applicant’s engineer was a current employee of the applicant at a different business (Newlines Engineering) which he owns, and NJ State rules prohibit a professional’s testimony on behalf of his boss because his opinion is considered be influenced or tainted by his relationship with his employer.
Although the board members didn’t appear to have been informed about the nature of the problem, the applicant agreed at the last minute to withdraw that engineer’s representation and offered a different engineer instead. However, he failed to advise the Board that the second engineer was also his salaried employee, thus raising the same credibility issue and legal prohibition.
Apparently, this applicant is so accustomed to pulling so much shtick for his clients that he has no problem treating official regulations as a joke for his own purposes too.
Brilliant planning the traffic and parking at the school and day care center at Central New Egypt and Drake road/Old Whitsville is out of control and sakonas nefashos. Cars are parked on the shoulder with parents pushing strollers into traffic on Central. Cars are parked on both sides of Drake road and no cars or buses can get through it is a daily logjam and traffic nightmare But during the application and approval the professionals testify how there would be no parking or traffic problems the board approves and then in reality once it goes up nothing is done and the public who raise issues are proven right but it is too late.
ReplyDeleteAnon 9:10,
DeleteYou're 1000% correct. I was thinking the same. The planning board has famously messed up on so many applications by just believing whatever nonsense the applicant's threw at them and turned a blind eye to the concerns of the neighbors - even when they were very obvious.
Just take a look at 2 examples that happened last night (even though it's probably not as bad as that daycare on Drake Rd.
First there was a new "Daycare" center (SP 2444) constructing a massive 63,000 square foot structure in an area with insufficient infrastructure. Neighbors came out and did a masterful job at explaining the problems, but Regency Development claimed that they need not worry so the board ignored the neighborhood and provided a very minor concession.
Then there was an applicant(SP 2451 / 500 BLVD LLC)which was knowingly represented by a conflicted and illegitimate professional -- so of course he testified that the application was perfect and the board accepted it.
Both Glenn Lines and Jason Burneyko are engineer employees of Newlines Engineering which is owned by Yehudah Ungar who just happens to also be the managing member of the 500 BLVD LLC application (together with Josh Schmuckler). It is considered official misconduct, as mentioned earlier by REGNU, for the firm's engineers to provide professional testimony on behalf of their own boss's other business ventures.
How could our planning board allow them to get away with this?? Why is it so difficult to do things the proper way? Is there something which a non-conflicted engineer would’ve discovered about the project which could’ve caused a problem?
Stop the madness already!
The problem gets even worse when the school misrepresents the number of students they will have, so they can convince the Board to approve fewer parking spaces and shorter bus lanes. All this does is make the neighbors angry and file lawsuits against the applicant's destruction of the neighborhood.
DeleteIt's just another day in Lakewood..
Who gives a hoot about the Sadiger Rebbe from BB!
ReplyDeleteHis Chassidim, and the Chassidim of his brothers
Deletewhy does the coming of the sadigura rebbe cause gas prices to shoot up?
ReplyDeleteOur elected and appointed officials are supposed to represent us. When they ignore the valid concerns of the public, as they have been doing for decades, they represent only themselves and their cronies. Time to throw them out and vote for competent officials whom we can trust.
ReplyDeleteGet Going
DeleteIts back to the business as usual again at the board they got rid of the 2 chasidishe members and replaced with old cronies.
ReplyDeleteThe old board was terrible. Those guys should've been chucked a long time ago..
DeleteOur FRUM leaders are NOT! Chilul Hashem seems to have been Fruma rationalized from a very Severe sin into a daily Mitzvah as evidenced by the daily injuries and Deaths on our Congested roads
ReplyDeleteOne Planning Board member voted NO to ALL the nonsense.
Delete#Outnumbered
How many men ,woman and Children have to Die on our roads before our leaders wake up that our roads are Narrow and Finite,No room left for more cars,planning and zoning are aiding and abetting Murder on the Hiway
ReplyDeleteWe've grown NUMB to the countless serious accidents in Town
ReplyDeletethe Lakewood poop makes sure we see twisted metal with the latest video everyday!How many more people have to Die ?
What good will more daycare centers be unless they can find enough staff?
ReplyDeleteDoes the board chairman also know that lakewood needs more shuls like in westgate that they didnt approve
ReplyDeleteAll of a sudden they care about the need for more schools but not shuls..oh theres no financial incentive to allow shuls
You mean the planning board chairman who built up Prospect street himself with no shul and then the township had to bail out the homeowners and give them land to put up a shul? He resigned when the water was getting too hot for him. And the fact that his son in law got a nice cozy job by one of the developers in town. I guess now that he is finished all that, he came back.
DeleteYou cannot stick in a shul where there isn't enough space for it.
DeleteWhy does WG need more shuls? There are many shuls there.
ReplyDeleteNot enough room and they are getting vandalized like what happened this Friday night.
DeleteWhich 3 people died in Lakewood from covid since Tuesday?
