Meeting to Finalize Landmark's Conditional Approval Postponed

Monday's planning board meeting to finalize the Landmark at Radburn development has been rescheduled for Monday, Jan. 14.

Fair Lawn's Daly Field saga will drag on for at least one more month after the resolution to memorialize the development's conditional approval was pulled from Monday's agenda. Planning Board secretary Cathy Hochkeppel said that between the Thanksgiving holiday and the extensive and complex list of conditions attached to the board's Nov. 20 approval there had not been time to adequately prepare and review the proposed conditions by Monday's meeting date. As a result, the Planning Board will pick up the resolution at its meeting on Monday, Jan. 14, after its professionals and members have had ample time to craft and review the proposed conditions. -- Follow Fair Lawn-Saddle Brook Patch on Facebook and Twitter, and subscribe to receive our …

Controversial Daly Field Development Reluctantly Approved by Planning Board

After a mountain of concerns raised by residents and Fair Lawn planning board members themselves, developer Landmark has won a conditional approval to build a large housing complex in Radburn.

After nine months of hearings – and amidst concerns voiced from the public as well as reluctance from some members – the Fair Lawn Planning Board voted unanimously Monday night to give the go-ahead to Landmark’s Daly Field housing development.

Many residents echoed concerns that had been prevalent throughout past hearings, like the…

Agree with Bergenbot. I'm glad to hear Nunn's restaurant Picnic closed its doors. Hopefully there were a few spiteful Radburn residents to thank for boycotting it. Karma got her.   more ›

Daly Field Development Goes Before Planning Board

A series of Planning Board hearings on the proposed Landmark development at Daly Field begin Monday at 7:30 p.m.

The developer behind the controversial proposed development on Daly Field in Radburn will present its design to the Fair Lawn Planning Board at a series of public hearings beginning Monday. Landmark Development's presentation to the Planning Board -- which has only limited powers over the development due to a 2009 court ruling that granted Landmark a builder's remedy -- commences at 7:30 p.m. in Borough Hall. The builder's remedy, which compels the borough to permit the construction of state-mandated affordable housing units, limits the Planning Board's jurisdiction to issues of parking, road layouts and open area configurations, among other details. Landmark's planned 165-unit development of Daly Field and the adjacent Hayward property, …

That is what the upset is, that a small band of trustees forces this on the majority of the community who doesn't want this developement because of issues like being discussed. And can the town handle all this growth without turning into Times Sq.   more ›
