really have a question about the new business, the proposed ordinance uh regarding um the area of Thomas Place. Uh, I always like to drive by to see I have a vision of what you're talking about. And it was rather difficult to
even get into the street because from Woodbridge Avenue, you can't make a right to go into Thomas Place. It's a oneway out toward Roosevelt Park. So, you had to go around Amboy Avenue and make a turn and make another turn and
make another turn and then uh make a right onto the dead end that would bring you down to that area. And uh by all means, it should be uh redeveloped, but from what I just heard, they're talking
about uh 70 apartments uh going there and four stories high. And I know it's kind of dumpy, but it's really small compared to what you would expect uh 70 apartments and parking for
those 70 apartments and getting in and out of the street for those 70 apartments. And I don't know how many of you have actually gone there, but I thought it was a great idea until I
actually drove there tonight. And I don't know what the status is. It sounds like it's already a a done deal uh except for minor changes at the planning board stage, but um I think it's an
overkill by um maybe whoever the developer is. And I think it's something that we really need to uh look into and uh maybe think about it and
decide is this a little overkill for this area. Uh so that is my concern as far as um what we're utilizing the property. There's plenty of places in Edison I know that need development. Um
I don't know if it's a regular apartment. I don't know if it's senior apartment, but regardless, 70 apartments with even one car per apartment uh would be overkill because I know it's the
hotel area and then there's another area next to over the fence. So, uh I think it needs a real consideration at least before uh the developer is able to go uh forward. Thank you. I'm glad you're
feeling better. Thank you. Any other uh any other members of the public like to speak on the Okay. Seeing none, can I have a motion to close the public portion? >> Motion.
>> Second. >> Thank you. Have a motion to adjurnn. >> Motion to adjurnn. >> Motion. >> Have second. >> All in favor say I. >> I. >> This meeting is adjourned. We have never >> committed.
