Technically, someone other than the owner has no more right to park on that property than I would to park in your driveway without your permission.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265606761581667532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045345663666096377.post-63313621184195657352008-04-28T08:50:00.000-07:002008-04-28T08:50:00.000-07:00Bob,You make a good points about the parking ...ha...Bob,<BR/><BR/>You make a good points about the parking ...have you considered sharing them with the board of adjustment...Courier News Flemington bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265172780455730129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045345663666096377.post-58632363803917747292008-04-27T09:28:00.000-07:002008-04-27T09:28:00.000-07:00While it would be nice for the Cut Glass property ...While it would be nice for the Cut Glass property to remain as open (albeit paved) space, we'd all be kidding ourselves to imagine that nobody would make a serious play for the biggest, empty plot in town. It was only a matter of time.<BR/><BR/>My biggest concern is parking. The lot has plenty of it, and it's free, without any time restrictions. So whatever happens to the Cut Glass property, the Borough should make sure that we don't lose that benefit.<BR/><BR/>Several weeks ago, Planner Frank Banisch said one possible solution would be to have a multi-level garage that would be partially below ground. That's OK with me, as long as it doesn't decrease the number of spaces and remains open and unrestricted.<BR/><BR/>As for the Cut Glass company not faring well, it's doing just as well as Eastern Airlines, Grand Union supermarkets and DeLorean Moter Company.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591154826894167374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045345663666096377.post-69725236381513358762008-04-25T10:56:00.000-07:002008-04-25T10:56:00.000-07:00Yes, I am aware of that, Betsy...sometimes one jus...Yes, I am aware of that, Betsy...sometimes one just tries to be a little gracious...by "today's markets" I do not literally mean April 25, 2008.
