Special Planning Board Meeting - Pizzo and Pizzo

Posted by M Paradis

August 6, 2008

Last night at the municipal building, we held a special planning board meeting. After many years and many meetings the Pizzo and Pizzo property known now as Presidential Place at Lebanon has been finalized and approved.

The property will be located on Cokebury Road across from the Kay-Bee Toy distribution facility (Lots 1 and 3, Block 3) and include 6 multi-family buildings or 150 units. 30 (20%) of these units will help satisfy our COAH obligation.

The property will be completed in 2 phases.

Phase 1 - The ability to secure building permits for site improvements (foundations and retaining walls) for garage structures -

One of the prerequisites for approval was to have permits from all outside agencies (water, sewer etc.) There is no final permit for water. Until the final water permit is issued - this allows the developer to move forward prior to the winter season and to lock in construction costs. Should the developer not be able to procure a final water permit from the DEP and not be able to build - they would restore the site back to it’s original condition.

Phase 2 - Bricks and Sticks/Completion of the project
