Southtown before Riverwalk development from Main Street WIREthat the Related/Hudson plan violates the GDP, as amended in 1990, because it reduces the size of Blackwell Park from "approximately six acres" to 3.86 acres.The Court disagreed finding that:
...the park was actually encroached upon by prior development in connection with Northtown. Further, the Related/Hudson site plan increases the total amount of open space from 8.2 acres to 15.1 acres, with 5.4 acres of open space between Northtown and Southtown, which is "approximately six acres," and although this space is not contiguous, it is not unreasonable to conclude that the proposed layout is not significant as the separating line is a road, not a building. Nor is it unreasonable to conclude that the movement of soccer and softball fields, as well as a children's play area, to the south is insignificant, especially in light of the fact that the Ramati Plan had actually eliminated the soccer fields.Thanks to RIOC Board nominee candidate Jonathan Kalkin for providing link to article.
