At the last meeting of the Zoning Hearing Board two items were passed that make me ask "What was the Hardship?" I am sorry but I don't think "maximizing profit" is a hardship or making a bad business decision or changing market conditions. Once again we are socializing the risk that folks took when they purchased the properties.
So the Rosedon proposal was back on the table, slightly modified. So what changed between now and the last time that the plan was rejected with regar to the variances being sought?
The other bewildering case was the 105 N Aberdeen. If you have ever driven on the Pike or Aberdeen you know how bad this intersection can be. And these folks want to put in eateries that are of the type that have much transient flow (ie lots of traffic) not sit down restaurants that will see limited flow. Again I ask, what is the hardship? And this is not to mention the fact that the meeting took on the appearance of the TV program "let's make a deal". What was that all about?
I am wondering when ZHB will provide the neighbors the same level of support that seems to go to developers? (My humle opinion)

"hardship" is Rosedon/Earle might not make as much money as he wants to on the project. And well, Radnor's ZHB is a mystery unto itself...obviously they don't know what they are doing. But what is even more frightening is that the people in Radnor Township and North Wayne can't get off their arses to get some action. The Zoning Hearing Board needs an ethics review or something
