If the Council truly believes reopening the plan after the court’s judgment puts the entire settlement at risk, having the Borough’s affordable housing attorney walk through that legal reality at a public forum would settle the argument immediately. Pushing ahead with paving over 80% of 58 North Passaic Avenue while citing vague claims of past resident misbehavior only makes it look like there is something to avoid discussing. Taxpayers deserve to hear directly why privately owned parcels were ruled out before committing to an irreversible loss of green space.

Exactly how would a Republican council be any better or even different? (Don’t give the usual “Try it and see.”)

In reply to Paul Krieg. Thank you for this thoughtful comment. True, this isn’t a simple issue. But the question isn’t “whether the administration… sold us out.” The question is whether the Mayor & Council should now weigh alternatives and do their due diligence before making any major decisions about the long term future of our town. The obvious answer is YES!

My belief is that the truth lies in the middle. While there are a lot of regulations, “builders remedy” for affordable housing allows for many to be set aside. It’s absolutely correct that no developer can “do what they want.” I think the Ivy is horrid. I have no idea whether the administration saved us from something worse, or sold us out. I think they helped us but I understand the reaction. They should be more communicative

The massive developments that are being forced into communities is a crime . Not healthy for anyone!

At some point the existing infrastructure in Chatham starts to crack with all of this development. Why give a 30 year tax break? Why give any break? It’s time developers paid their fair share toward the infrastructure needed
