of light and hope for a better life; and advocates for the

ITEM #10 Public Hearing – Bloomfield Park Final Site
Plan & Rezoning Request
Patti McCullough, Director of Building and Planning,
reviewed the final site plan and rezoning request, noting a
parking deficiency - 92 spaces as opposed to 1341 per Township
requirements. The developer has proposed a shared parking
plan, which is acceptable for Phase 1 of the project per the
Township Traffic Consultant. Lots 31 and 32 are currently
zoned R-P Research Park and the property owner is seeking a
B-3 Research Business classification.
Further information, on behalf of the applicant, was
presented by Gary Ceepo, Senior Development Director, Coventry
II DDR, Martin Parker, Traffic Engineer, Wade Trim, and Doug
Poland, Attorney, McShane & Bowie, which included a traffic
impact study. Mike Labadie, Bloomfield Township Traffic
Consultant, advised the Board that if the developer implements
all proposed mitigation measures then future operation of the
roads surrounding the proposed Bloomfield Park would be
tolerable.
The Development Agreement, which requires the signatures of
the Township and Developer, was also discussed at length
including the ambiguous wording of the document. It was
decided that a meeting should be held to revise the
Development Agreement so as to be mutually acceptable to both
parties.
MOTION by Barnett and SUPPORT by Buckley to APPROVE the
Rezoning Request for Lots 31 and 32 from R-P to B-3 Zoning AND
to TABLE the Issue of Site Plan Approval for Bloomfield Park
Until Both Parties Meet on February 26, 2008.
