New Fund Raiser Save Waterview Landscape We Only Have Until January 25th. we can do it

ACTION ALERT WE CAN SAVE WATERVIEW LANDSCAPE AS PROMISED Meeting Fundamental human needs differentiate between satisfiers and needs. We are not satisfied nor are we in need.

Today January 18th was launched an effort to again save waterview landscape from destruction and to maintain our community integrity and master plan in the best interest of the community. Donations please help meet the goal by January 25th.

As a community we are not meeting our fundamental human needs; thereby incurring unnecessary impacts and costs upon ourselves and diminishing our quality of life. RD an outside force to the community has somehow succeeded in changing our Master Plan to suit their interest. This should never have occurred and it smells of illegality. No force outside the community should be allowed such power within it. No need exist to create a specific retail and commercial zone on the on a landscape zoned as a planned office district easement. The present POD; planned office district is in the best interest of the community, and stands as a well-balanced distribution of remaining environmental sensitivity and biodiversity in the Troy Brook Watershed.

This physical feature brings aesthetic beauty and enhancement to the immediate neighborhood and the surrounding region.

The developer is guilty of using the public housing obligation as a threat to wear down this community through lawsuits and constantly changing his proposals. The public housing was a kick down the door final bully tactic used to cause an unjust compromise of fear, encouraged by the developers allies within the township circles.

At a 12/15/15 Parsippany Council meeting, with the holidays upon us, unknown to most, against the wishes residents made clear October 2014, and contrary to the promises made to pursue open space, the council of Parsippany approved an ordinance to “amend” it’s master plan adding a “New RC retail commercial district” solely for the purpose to accommodate a single developer and a single project.
We are trying to raise the necessary funds with this campaign to file the appeal and protect our community. If our goal is reached, all money will be transferred in escrow to the lawyer, with only the administrative costs deducted. Our goal is $8500. see https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/315pFa We legally had 45 days from 12/15/15, our deadline is 1/29/16 and we must give the attorney next week to draft the appeal. This is why we have set a deadline of Monday 1/25/16 to fund the campaign. The time is now. The land is being surveyed NOW! Our community and surrounding neighborhoods would be negatively impacted forever.

. Neither the Planning Board nor the developer produced any sustainable evidence to show any need to rezone the property, other than an economic situation shared by all in the society. This cannot be allowed as an excuse to change our master plan, and change forever the character of the effected immediate neighborhood. No need exists for new land development for the purpose of retail and commercial.

2015-26 Rezoning Ordinance, POD to RC must not be allowed to stand. All of this was done in closed session, without public participation or transparency.

Be aware that if and when the developer succeeds in this endeavor the waterview landscape will be more likely to be lost to public housing; when the unneeded retail commercial zone; including some housing; fails. The next rezone would likely be public housing. In truth we are making it easier for the slippery slope to continue in the degrading of our community’s quality of life.

Many reasons exist to defend this valuable natural resource we know as waterview. Join the Fundraiser answer the call of community; against private interest and do it ASAP before January 25th. Our Master Plan is ours respect the concept of the time value of money not the short-term leading us nowhere and with loss of a sense of home and place.

We sincerely thank the group Citizens for Health, Safety & Welfare who fended this off 2 years ago, worked tirelessly to remove the Target or Big Box component, and keep the developer at bay. Not by any means to lessen their efforts or the advances they made from the original plan, this is not the outcome anyone was promised, wanted, or should be bullied to stomach now.
