The Kamenitz development project also included 15 houses (or 30 housing units when including the rental basements).
ReplyDeleteAs it already stands, the small parking lot in front of the school building is too small to accommodate all the simcha hall cars. Visitors are forced to park illegally along Ridge Avenue. There are also dozens of cars parking in the area of the approved but not yet constructed housing project. Once those houses get put up the Kamenitz disaster zone will get much worse and the expected traffic snarls will really ruin the quality of life for the entire neighborhood.
All of this could have been avoided had the developer been truthful in his application, so the Board would have had the information to require a larger properly sized parking lot, but fewer housing units. Unfortunately, the developer chose profits over neighborhood safety.
