Following is the full text of the CB7 Resolution passed as a result
\nof the public hearing for the ULURP application on Nov. 10, 2005. We
\nhad a strong show of support from the community as residents and others
\nspoke on everything from density concerns, to parking, to solid and
\nhazardous waste concerns, to safety for horses and pedestrians and
\nmore. Our concerns were heard and CB7 passed a resolution calling for a
\ndenial of the application for upzoning and a rezoning study of the
\nneighborhood. <\/p>\n
Thanks to everyone who came out to testify and
\nthanks to CB7, especially Randy Peers and the members of the Land Use
\nCommittee, for their support of our efforts to encourage sensible
\nneighborhood development. <\/p>\n
Community Board 7 Land Use Committee Resolution Regarding 22 Caton Place<\/b>
\nWith respect to ULURP application # C050203 ZMK, concerning 22 Caton
\nPlace, the committee recommends the Board reject the application for
\nthe following reasons: <\/p>\n
1. No guarantee that the applicant\/developer
\nwill in fact build the stated development project at the site and could
\nin fact sell the property under the new zoning.<\/p>\n
2. That the
\nEIS does not accurately reflect conditions in the area because it does
\nnot take into account two other major projects under development in the
\nnear vicinity. When examined in aggregate, the three projects total a
\n45% increase in the number of dwelling units in a 7-block area.<\/p>\n
3. If the proposed development does proceed, there is no guarantee that the units will be rentals or be affordable.<\/p>\n
\n4. That the area is already overburdened by a lack of parking, and any
\nproposed development under the new zoning would not require 100%
\nparking. <\/p>\n
5. That the proposed development out of character with
\ncommunity, in particular, the surrounding blocks which include many
\nsmall one and two family homes and the horse stables. <\/p>\n
6. The majority of residents oppose the change as was clearly stated at the public hearing held on November 8th, 2005. <\/p>\n
We
\nfurther request that City Planning undertake a study of rezoning the
\nsurrounding community to comply with the original intent of the Special
\nOcean Parkway District, to protect the interior blocks. The Special
\nOcean Parkway District Re Zoning originally passed by the Borough Board
\non April 20, 1993 and specifically called for the down zoning of this
\narea if the proposed nursing home (at 711 Caton Avenue) was not
\napproved. As almost 14 years have passed and no nursing home has been
\nbuilt or approved for this site, it is essential that this small
\nsection of our community commonly known as East Windsor Terrace be
\nafforded the protection denied to it when the Special Ocean Parkway
\nDistrict was approved. <\/p>\n
