Sayreville Planning Board Authorizes Study for Hercules Redevelopment Plan Amendments

The Sayreville Borough Planning Board meeting focused on amendments to the Hercules Redevelopment Plan. The board authorized a study to assess whether the proposed area meets redevelopment criteria. Additionally, changes to the road layout in the plan were discussed due to constraints preventing the original road construction.

During the meeting, a resolution was passed to investigate whether the proposed area meets the criteria for redevelopment. The board authorized a planner to conduct a study, which will then be presented in a public hearing. The original redevelopment plan for the area, particularly concerning the construction of a road across railroad tracks, faced obstacles as the railroad company denied permission due to proximity to a switching station and existing environmental constraints. Consequently, the plan was amended to propose a cul-de-sac and an alternative road.

The board also reviewed amendments to the Hercules Redevelopment Plan, which involved changing the layout of a road initially planned for extension. Due to the railroad’s refusal to allow the road to cross the tracks and additional environmental constraints, a new plan was proposed, converting the road into a cul-de-sac. This amendment was deemed necessary to accommodate future developments in the area known as Section Three. The board confirmed that the amendments are consistent with the master plan, allowing the process to proceed to the mayor and council for further action.
