Radnor Township Zoning Hearing Board is the board that can't say no...and they ruled against neighbors in favor of developers for things that North Wayne residents in particular have good reason to worry about. Appeal 2782 in Ward 1 got passed.

The trick to Radnor Zoning Hearing Board is if they say no to you once, just go back a couple months later. Yep last night Radnor Zoning Hearing Board in their infinite wisdom and fuzzy logic approved 250 units of public storage for cars for Rosedon. Yes, rich dudes who go before everyone's building and planning to get garage mahals approved, apparently are unable to park their play cars where they live, so come to the little middle and working class neighborhoods and take advantage there ----yep, Radnor Zoning Hearing Board has approved a structure that some speculate may actually be bigger then Radnor Township's New Municipal Building, only it's shoehorned in a teeny neighborhood on teeny streets, not with a rolling lawn and landscaping in front of it.

It is almost inconceivable that Radnor said NO in April and YES in September. Just like who believes that 250 units will only ever need 6 parking spaces and 20 more for office operation also being planned, both placed in front yard set backs? How in the fuzzy world of new math will this account for car carriers?

So it's amazing they can so screw one small neighborhood.

Next of course on North Aberdeen, is where residents are waiting for the other shoe to drop on those Prudential Realtors who want to develop their property at 236 N. Aberdeen? Of course the realtor/developers will argue hardship - what they can't sell another property they own and their listings are sitting so we should just let them develop? Sweet, realtor hardship --- they are part and parcel of the current financial situation this country finds itself in, are they not?

Now, onto other things approved with fuzzy logic: APPEAL# 2791 105 Aberdeen LP, owner of property located at 107 N. Aberdeen
WARD 1. Monty Hall came in and it was "Let's Make a Deal". Now redeveloping this eyesore of a property is not a bad thing, but approving zoning changes so they can plunk in restaurants with insufficient parking IS a very bad thing. Once again, who will suffer? The residents of North Wayne. They approve asinine zoning changes without benefit of a REAL traffic study on a VERY busy street, didn't they, because the applicant doesn't have to do that for zoning, right? These zoning approvals should have traffic studies as part of the approval process.

So, on the 22nd of September at 7 p.m., the residents of North Wayne really need to shake it out and go to the Radnor Township Board of Commissioners meeting and exercise their right to public privilege. They need to step up, shake the lead out and tell Radnor enough. Why? Because piece by piece, bit by bit, developers are coming into this section of Wayne because they know that Radnor doesn't really care about the NON millinaire set, right? now of course, Radnor can prove that question wrong by stepping up to the plate too, but will they?

And by the way....you all go to www.radnor.com and you will FINALLY see the agenda for the Radnor Board of Commissioners on Monday....wonder why they can't post agendas or preliminary agendas in a more timely fashion?
