For those of you who haven’t seen them yet, here are the renderings of the proposed building.   When we here at OhNo60 first saw the drawings we realized the scaling was misleading and decided residents needed a little more insight into what the measurements actually meant!   For example, notice how wide Maplewood Avenue appears, and also how far away Village Coffee looks.   And the new building appears to be almost the same height as Village Coffee, when in fact it is much taller!

In 2013 L&M developers were selected by the township and proposed the building shown above.   The work on the project progressed through the summer, but in September 2013 the developer withdrew from the project.   This happened after King’s supermarket decided not the move across the street, and after the architect hired by L&M withdrew from the project.  The new developer (first rendering above)  was chosen during the fall, and entered into a negotiation period with the Township that started in November.    The period is scheduled to end in early February, unless it is extended by mutual agreement.   It is likely the Township is working to sign contracts before the negotiation period needs to be extended.”
