Zoning Hearing Board Meeting

This is a public Meeting.

Do you want to get stuck in you neighborhood with a main entrance on Plant Avenue, which means storage trucks to this destination would come through residential ? So WAKE UP! Atttend and pack this meeting.

Shame on this developer for not bringing a better plan to the table....what about a nice modest sized mixed use with public parking all in the center of Wayne could avail themselves of? How does this developer think so much impervious surface coverage is ok? If the property has changed hands and is changing use, shouldn't it comply with more realistic impervious surface coverage? Isn't this a neighborhood that floods and floods badly at every drop of rain?

Some of us have taken a drive by this place and we have seen old cars and lots of macadam. We have seen how close this is to residential. Why such a bad plan? They seriously think they deserve all those variances? Why couldn't Radnor get their paws on the land and develop something that would be beneficial to Wayne as a whole? (Not like that thing being discussed over at the Post Office and Library which looks like a bad resort, but hey, maybe a couple of shops and MUNICIPAL parking? That thing Wayne folk and visitors say they need?)
