More Housing? Is this what we need?

MEG COBBS (Weichert Realtors*) — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 14:42:16 -0500

My question is, do we have enought space for school children???????? We just built a million dollar highschool and regalign all grades-- my property taxes here in bordentown city went up another 15% this year! I have school aged children - when we built the new school, it wasn't based on all this new housing. New Housing-how many more children to educate? How many more cars on Rt. 120/206. The township is looking at the tax ratiables, not at how it will affect overcrowding at our area schools. We have Robert Wood Johnson mega-gym. I just don't get it. Yes, something needs to replace the acme. I agree on that one, but more houses? I hope not.

Town center plans advance??????

Township eyes redevelopment

BORDENTOWN TOWNSHIP - Township officials are hoping that initial plans presented earlier this month to redevelop two sites off Route 130 will continue the goal of promoting the town as a destination.
According to Township Committeeman Mark Roselli, developers have presented ideas for a town center containing an estimated 180 housing units, stores and restaurants, off the north side of Route 130 and Farnsworth Avenue, and for redevelopment of the old Agway site - including a new fitness center - on Route 130 South.

The town center

   He said that Trenton-based Beazer Homes and Chancellor Development Group's proposed plans - which are in the initial stages - are to build a combination of houses, retail space and restaurants on about 30 to 40 acres near the north side of Route 130.
   Most of the land is vacant, Mr. Roselli said. The owner of the land is willing to sell the property and is under contract as an applicant with Beazer Homes already, Mr. Roselli said.
   The residential portion of the site - which will be done by Beazer Homes - will mimic the architecture of early Bordentown, he said. Those plans include a row of homes with a center common area, complete with a gazebo, "so that people can gather at an open space in the middle," Mr. Roselli said.
   While the total number of units for the town center has not yet been determined, the developer has been working with the township on a proposal to build around 180 townhouses, he said, adding that the number is not final.
   The houses will be a place where "people can sit on their steps and talk to each other," he said.
   In front of that, on Route 130, Chancellor Development wants to build the retail and commercial spaces, with a chain restaurant to attract people to the area.
   The plan for that space will also be good for the township because it will provide housing for the developmentally disabled, and for adults, which will fulfill part of the township's state affordable housing requirement, Mr. Roselli said. State law requires that for every eight residential units built, there has to also be one affordable unit.
   The number of affordable units being built there will be determined when the total number of housing units is final, he said.
   "We are fulfilling a need for people who are disadvantaged with first-class housing," Mr. Roselli said. "The town's been working with them for a few years now to make sure the density isn't too much," he added, saying they are working on integrating the two plans.
   Now, the proposals "are more along the lines of what we want," he said.
   The idea is still in its initial stages, and the developers will be reworking their plans, he said. The township would then have to come up with a redevelopment plan (for both the town center and Agway sites) and name the two companies as the project's redeveloper, before construction can begin, he said.
   "It's going to depend on the redevelopers," he said. "It'll go as fast as they want it to go. They said they want to start as soon as possible, hopefully in the next few months, with a final version, final plan."

The Old Agway site

   At the old Agway site, owned by Growmark FS and encompassing approximately 30 acres on Route 130 South, developer K. Johnson Enterprises of Hamilton plans to build a 72,000-square-foot first-class health, fitness and wellness center. There would also be 100,000 square feet of office space, Mr. Roselli said.
   "Agway has a lot of unused buildings, that all will be coming down," with the exception of the green silos, which will be incorporated into the landscaping, Mr. Roselli said.
   Those silos are currently being used by Purdue, which will continue to use them, he said. A small building in the back of the site, owned and operated by Growmark, will also be left.
   The site is proposed to have three total buildings - a center building housing the fitness center, with one side building being used for about 80,000 square feet of medical offices, and a second side building housing about 30,000 square feet of commercial businesses, he said.
   The presentation for the Agway site was made at the June 11 Township Committee meeting, he said. Growmark is under contract with K. Johnson Enterprises. Growmark is a consortium of farmers, and provides farming products like fertilizer and pesticides to area consumers.
   "They're at a position where they would like to come forward to the township, certainly within the next six or seven months," he said. "They have what they need, engineering-wise. They're ready to build."

Old Acme site

   While a presentation has not been made regarding the use of the old Acme site - a new Acme will be opening up shortly farther down on the south side of Route 130 - developers have been making inquiries about building there, Mr. Roselli said.
   "We want to make sure the right thing gets put there," Mr. Roselli said. "It only makes sense to try to work that side of the road with the northbound side, which is being developed in conjunction with the Beazer Town Center."
   Mr. Roselli said he has suggested to interested developers to try to contact various government agencies that may be interested in having offices located there, he said. One example could be a satellite office for the county clerk, a college or a post office, he added.

Township as a destination

   The plans for development of these sites fit in with the township's efforts to transform the township into a "destination" - to draw people to visit the township, a place where they can stay at one of the numerous hotels and dine at one of the community's many restaurants.
   Mr. Roselli said the township is finally seeing the fruits of its labor. "It's some of those major developments that we've been looking to attract to Bordentown Township."
   But these new redevelopment plans are not the only plans in sight for the township. In April, the township considered plans to redevelop an old salvage yard into a 97-acre waterfront property including a transit village of 685 townhomes and retail stores.
   The property, which extends into Fieldsboro and Mansfield, but mostly lies in Bordentown Township and includes a portion of Newbold Island, had been used until the 1980s as a shipyard. It is now a state-designated brownfield, a vacant contaminated industrial site. The presence of scrap metal has led to contamination of some of the soil on the property, but the company has said it wants to restore areas affected by contamination so that plants and wildlife can thrive there.
   The fact that there's so many individuals investing in developing the area is a good sign, Mr. Roselli said.
   The redevelopment, particularly the town center, will allow the township to have its own downtown, with its own parades, he said.
   "Government does work slow unfortunately, but you have to stick to it," he said, referencing the years of work put into the plans.

Board shows plans for $35M school By:

Stephanie Prokop, Staff Writer 06/07/2007

    " CHESTERFIELD-The school board unveiled plans May 30 for a $35 million school that would be located on Steeplechase Way, a street that would be in a new development in Old York Village.
   The tract being eyed for the school is known as the Wilkinson Farm.
   The school would be constructed if a third referendum passes on Dec. 11. The school would open its doors in September 2010.
   This will be the school board's third attempt to gain voter approval to build a new elementary school. In December 2003 voters defeated a $17.5 million referendum under which taxpayers would have been responsible for $14 million of the cost; in December 2005 voters defeated a $19.5 million referendum under which taxpayers would have been responsible for $16 million.
   The May 30 meeting, attended by about 30 residents largely in support of the proposal, featured two presentations. One analyzed how many elementary school-age children are expected attend the school system once Old York Village is completed. The other displayed plans for the proposed 114,000-square-foot school.
   The demographer's presentation showed that although Chesterfield Elementary School now has an enrollment of 367 students, once the remaining 901 Old York Village houses are complete, that enrollment number is expected to jump to 931."

Field Day parade features TV-show theme in 69th year By: Stephanie Prokop, Staff Writer 06/07/2007

   MANSFIELD-Although organizers took the "field" out of Mansfield Field Day, the 69th annual township event is instead focusing on a parade as the main centerpiece of the day.
   The parade will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday and will follow the same route as last year, beginning at East Main Street (right next to the park exit) to the Grouser Farm on West Main Street and then back into the town to end at the municipal park.
   The parade will feature four bands that will march and play favorite tunes. The special events committee encourages all floats, marchers and antique cars to enter the parade.
   "We have church groups, softball teams, and fire companies participate in the parade," said one of the event's organizers, Grace Fennimore, "and it's a lot of fun."
   Last year, the Field Day event focused on healthy eating, and organizers for the event made sure that there were plenty of fruit cups and salads on hand.
   This year, Grace Fennimore said the special events committee wanted to do something a little bit different and just focus on the parade.
   The theme for this year's parade floats is TV Shows. The special events committee encourages everyone who is interested in marching to register as soon as possible by calling Ms. Fennimore at (609) 324-8110.
   Barbara Crammer, who is also a member of the special events committee, is excited to see what kind of creative ideas that participants will have for the parade.
   The parade will also feature Mansfield Township Grand Marshal Dick Archer, who was recently awarded a proclamation from the township for 50 years of his EMS service to the township.
   Next year, event organizers will approach a milestone - the 70th Field Day. Ms. Crammer is already trying to get the word out if anyone is interested in helping the special events committee in beginning to prepare next year's festivities.
   "The 70th Field Day is just a nice, round number, and we really just want to bring the day back into the park and have a lot of field activities," she said.
   Another annual tradition is the Lil' Miss Columbus, a contest in which residents filled out ballots casting their vote for any girl in kindergarten through sixth grade. Ms. Fennimore said that this year, the winner is Gianna Alessi, a fourth-grader at Mansfield Elementary School. She is scheduled to be the guest of honor in the parade, and will be crowned and presented with flowers at noon Saturday in the gazebo.
   The special events committee is excited for the parade and is all set to "make this a great parade for our community.
   Although there are no planned activities in the park, residents are encouraged to come on out to watch several baseball games that will be going on. The concession stand will also be open.
   Ms. Crammer said that if anyone is interested in helping with either this year's parade or setting up a committee for next year's Field Day, they can contact the Mansfield Municipal Building at (609) 298-0542, ext. 10.

     CHESTERFIELD-The school board unveiled plans May 30 for a $35 million school that would be located on Steeplechase Way, a street that would be in a new development in Old York Village.
   The tract being eyed for the school is known as the Wilkinson Farm.
   The school would be constructed if a third referendum passes on Dec. 11. The school would open its doors in September 2010.
   This will be the school board's third attempt to gain voter approval to build a new elementary school. In December 2003 voters defeated a $17.5 million referendum under which taxpayers would have been responsible for $14 million of the cost; in December 2005 voters defeated a $19.5 million referendum under which taxpayers would have been responsible for $16 million.
   The May 30 meeting, attended by about 30 residents largely in support of the proposal, featured two presentations. One analyzed how many elementary school-age children are expected attend the school system once Old York Village is completed. The other displayed plans for the proposed 114,000-square-foot school.
   The demographer's presentation showed that although Chesterfield Elementary School now has an enrollment of 367 students, once the remaining 901 Old York Village houses are complete, that enrollment number is expected to jump to 931.
   Construction on the houses has already begun, and is expected to be complete in 2012, with a total of 1,100 units.
   Craig Thier, Board of Education president, said the 27-acre Wilkinson Farm tract off Old York Road is still under consideration, but the price of the land has not yet been finalized.
   David Fraytak, of Faridy, Veisz, and Fraytak P.C., a Trenton architectural firm, said the proposed school would have six classrooms for each grade level. Kindergarten, first, second, and third-grade classrooms would have a capacity of 21 students each, while grades four through six would have a capacity of 23 students each, said Mr. Fraytak.
   Other parts of the school would feature a secure entry point, at which employees in the main office could see exactly who is entering the school building, as well as district offices that would be located right across the hall from the main office.
   The gymnasium and cafeteria would be significantly bigger than those of the current Chesterfield Elementary School, and would allow for recreational use of various sports and club usage after hours.
   The gymnasium would also feature a dividing curtain, which would enable two separate gym classes to be going on at once.
   As for the location of the classrooms in the school, Mr. Fraytak explained that it would be comprised of three levels, which would appear from the front of the school as two levels, due to the slight downhill grade the property has toward the back of it.
   The school would have two art and music rooms, which would enable the lower grades to receive art and music education in a designated room. The current system has "art on a cart," where a teacher brings the programs to their primary classrooms.
   The school would include an "introductory science room" which would introduce students to various curricula that would be similar to what they would encounter at the middle and high school level.
   As for transportation, parents picking up students and buses for students would be separated for safety reasons.
   "Another advantage to having the school built on the Wilkinson property is that it will be in the heart of the village, which is planned to focus on a walking village," explained Mr. Fraytak.
   After Mr. Fraytak finished explaining the school pans, he presented another school building blueprint - one that would be approximately 101,000 square feet.
   One advantage would be that the school building would have a smaller price tag, although Mr. Thier estimated it would be about $32.5 million instead of the $35 million of the first proposed building.
   After viewing the statistics, many members of the audience, including members of the grassroots Chesterfield GREEN team, (which stands for Growing Together, Reaching Educational Excellence Now) asked questions as to when their taxes would be adjusted, and what the $35 million figure would include.
   Mr. Their said that the figure includes the school construction, and the site development, but the land (which is still in the negotiations process) will not be included in the price tag. The amount of the total to be raised by taxation is not yet known, he said. He said they would seek state aid but did not know how much they might receive.
   Many members of the audience voiced their support for the school board to "push ahead" with the larger school.
   The proposed elementary school plans are similar to Mansfield Elementary School, and some parents thought it may be a good idea to invite community members to Mansfield to see what kind of facilities Chesterfield may be building.
   Mr. Thier said if the referendum is passed, taxpayers would not be seeing any adjustment in their school tax bill until 2009. There is no information currently available on how much school tax rates would be effected.
   Blueprint designs of both of the proposed school buildings will be available on the Chesterfield Elementary School Web site.

City hopes odd lot will attract bank By: Stephanie Prokop, Staff Writer 05/24/2007

Commerce Bank eyes parcel in Bordentown

    BORDENTOWN CITY- The city is planning to sell a small irregularly shaped parcel of land behind the Liberty Gas Station on Crosswicks Street that may attract Commerce Bank to open one of its branches on the corner.
    According to Mayor John Collom, the property is .6 acres and measures 100 feet by about 250 feet and will go up for sealed bids starting at a minimum of $800,000.
    The mayor said Commerce Bank representatives had approached the city commissioners about buying the parcel plus the land that the Liberty Gas Station currently owns to build a bank.
    Mayor Collom said the gas station owners have already agreed to sell their land, and that the Commerce Bank property would make use of both pieces of land for their property.
    The .6-acre parcel is occupied by the Bordentown City Water Utility, and is being used as a headquarters for equipment.
    The ordinance that would allow the sale was introduced May 14.
    Mayor Collom says that the if the land is sold, the city would more than likely build another water utility storage building down behind the fields at Gilder Park. He estimated that cost at about $400,000.

The City Commissioners are also looking at the possible ratable benefit that having a Commerce Bank chain at the corner of Route 130 and Crosswicks Street.
    The city would be gaining an estimated tax income of $42,000 to $47,000, said Mayor Collom.
    "The people of the city will not have to pay a cent for this, and that is a positive aspect," said Mayor Collom. "We are taking a piece of property in (Bordentown City) and putting it back on the market." Mayor Collom said that the building would also have a aesthetic appeal as well.
    "It would be a very nicely landscaped attractive building, and it would fit in within the general architecture of the city," he said, "And while the water utility building is not ugly, it is not necessarily attractive either," he added.
    The property cannot be sold directly to Commerce Bank (since the parcel is owned by the city) and must first be made available to the public.
    Since the parcel is so small and oddly shaped, the city commissioners said they are doubtful that anyone else will be looking to buy it.
    The next step would be for the ordinance to go through a second reading, which will take place on June 11.
    "After the ordinance is passed, we will at that point be able to then legally transact a sale," said Mayor Collom.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Crosswicks Street property not ideal for bank

To the editor:
   Bordentown City is about to put a piece of property up for sale by auction, upon final approval of Ordinance 2007-08 at the June 11 City Commissioners meeting. This piece of property is on Crosswicks Street, in between the Gilder House and Liberty Gas Station and is currently used by the Bordentown City Water Utility.
   What instigated city officials to consider selling this land? A corporation is interested in buying the land and Liberty Gas Station, to redevelop the northwest corner of Routes 206/130 and Crosswicks Street, into a bank.
   I have concerns about putting a bank on this corner.
   Getting to this location from Route 528 West and Routes 206/130 North is confusing. I am worried about what will happen when people traveling North on Routes 206/130 try to get across the highway, to the ATM machine of their bank. To an out-of-towner, I imagine that this would be a pretty difficult maneuver. I am worried about this, because a confused driver is more likely to get into an accident.
   I am concerned about the potential negative impact that this may have on Bordentown City's downtown bank, currently Farmers and Mechanics Bank. Twenty-five years ago, there were two banks on Farnsworth Avenue in Bordentown City. Today we have one. In the future, will we have none?
   If the city sells this property, it will have to find a new location for the water utility. Currently the city is planning to build a new building for the water utility behind Gilder Field, on the southern ridge of Thorntown Creek. I am strongly opposed to relocating the water utility to this location. I consider this land to be parkland. I consider this land to be for public recreation and public use, not public works.
   Yes, I know that the city has other public works buildings at this location. Twenty-five years ago, they weren't there. Twenty-five years ago, there were picnic tables on the southern ridge of Thorntown Creek. I wish they were still there.
   Putting a building on the southern ridge of Thorntown Creek would be the environmental poster child of what not to do. Putting a building there will increase water runoff. If you would like to learn more about the negative impacts of water runoff, I recommend the following NJDEP website: http://www.nj.gov/dep/watershedmgt/basicinfo.htm .
   I hope that one of the following three things happens:
   1. The City Commissioners vote down Ordinance 2007-08 on June 11.
   2. The City Commissioners postpone the decision date for Ordinance 2007-08, allowing more time to research the potential impacts.
   3. If Ordinance 2007-08 does pass and Block 1404, Lot 22 is sold, the city uses some of the proceeds to purchase land for the Bordentown City Water Utility.
   If you are interested in attending the public hearing regarding this matter, go to the Bordentown City Commissioners Meeting on June 11, 2007, at 8 p.m. held on the second floor of City Hall, 324 Farnsworth Street.
