Re: Stop 171 Units On Brunswick!! New Date- 2/16/06 at 6:00 pm

I have viewed the changes that have been proposed. And I concede that they have lowered the amount of units. That is not enough. What I fail to understand is why these developers feel the need to put up mid-rise buildings in an area zoned for townhouses?

They have lowered the amount of units from an almost 80% increase to a 33% increase over the current zoning. All I am asking (hoping), is that we do not allow developers to pay almost a quarter of million dollars into a fund for the city that will in turn, give them a variance allowing them to overdevelop our neighborhood. To me, that is unacceptable.

I repeat: What is wrong with building townhouses?

I urge members of our community to go to this meeting and voice their opinions about this project. All it can do is help. At the very least, the developers will have to come back to the table with better plan.

I live here, you live here, and together we can make a difference if we just stand up and voice our opinions. Please come to the meeting tomorrow night.

The Board of adjustment meeting concerning the 171 proposed units on Brunswick St is Tomorrow the 16th of February at 6:00 pm at City Hall.

My name is Peter Jr. I currently live on 9th street.

I have always found our community here in Hamilton Park to be a great place to live. We have such a special little corner of Jersey City that has yet to be spoiled by over development. While I do support the developing of many of the areas around where I live, I cannot possibly support the proposed 171 units on Brunswick St.

Why does it have to be so big? Why can?t they develop the land in accordance to the existing city codes? Obviously the developers do not live in this neighborhood.

The density and traffic issues alone are reasons enough for me to be 100% against the current proposed plan. If I wanted to live in an area where it was an actual fight to find parking, I would move to Hoboken or Manhattan.

The only way we, as a community, can stop our area of Jersey City from becoming another Hoboken is to stand up together against these outlandish developments.

I hope to see as many people as possible at the meeting on Thursday night. If we stand together we can at least have these developers come back to the table with another proposal that doesn't just pad the City's wallet and destroy our neighborhood.

Thank you for your time reading my plea..

A Concerned Resident of Hamilton Park,
Peter Jr.
