Planning Board Expected to Vote on Daly Field Development

The Fair Lawn Planning Board is likely to vote on Landmark's plans for Daly Field Monday night following a public comment portion where residents can air their final concerns about the development.

Nine months of hearings on Landmark's proposed Daly Field development that covered everything from parking allottments to environmental concerns could conclude Monday night when the Fair Lawn Planning Board is expected to vote on the developer's plan. Landmark representatives have testified at Planning Board hearings each month since March, laying out their plans for the development while taking into consideration critiques from the board and concerned residents who oppose the construction. While the board's ability to shape the planned development is limited due to a court-ordered builder's remedy that compels the borough to permit its construction, board members nonetheless have raised concerns over certain aspects of Landmark's proposal…

Landmark Meeting to Finalize Traffic, Begin Architecture Discussion

This month's planning board hearing about the Landmark development on Daly Field will be held Monday, July 9 at 7:30 p.m.

The Fair Lawn Planning Board's hearings on the proposed Landmark development on Daly Field in Radburn will continue Monday night, with the finalization of the past two months' traffic discussion and the beginning of discussions on the site's architecture. At last month's hearing, Landmark's traffic engineer, Eric Keller, returned to the planning board to address traffic safety concerns its members had expressed after the board's May meeting where he had presented Landmark's traffic impact study. Keller said he determined that the superior traffic signal configuration for the light at the intersection of Plaza Road and Berdan Avenue would be an exclusive left turn lane and leading green for northbound Plaza Road traffic turning onto the …

I believe the development is totally appropriate for Daly Field and will improve the quality of life for Fair Lawn. The development was ALWAYS welcome here and the plans are not flawed at all.- Says other people besides Mike Roney.   more ›
