By Bill Connell.
Last night (June 20) I attended the Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting regarding the Levin/Kmart property proposal for mixed use housing-retail, similar what is being built on Hamilton Street. Most of the residents who attended were completely unaware that the Zoning Board is a semi-judicial body whose sole purpose is reviewing the applicant’s proposal. The theatrics of Township Council are not welcome. All that does is run up the bill of the technical experts who are paid for by the applicant. Township employees are the technical experts that manage or refute the expert testimony long before the actual meeting. A lot happens before the meeting .
If you start a question to the expert with “I feel,” STOP. Much like when I write in this space, my Chumley Scott says, nobody cares how you “feel,” Bill.
