COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS The Borough Clerk announced receipt of the following communications: Email dated June 10, 2015, from Ken Waer of Anthony Drive inviting the Mayor and Council to the June 15th Mayor’s Trophy Game versus the Chathams. Email dated June 17, 2015, from Natalie Mazurets of Avon Drive asking Council to approve the withdrawal of the Civic Center Redevelopment. Mr. Giacobbe read the following statement from Mayor Conley regarding the proposed redevelopment of the Civic Center property at 28 Walnut Street: To the Council and Residents of Madison, I apologize for not being able to be with you tonight, I am on a long-planned family vacation out of state, one with inflexible travel options. Madison has a rich history with affordable housing. One could say it started a century ago with the rose growers and millionaires building homes for those who worked the greenhouses and the estates. This led to the first wave of immigration, establishing Madison as a community that embraces diversity. When World War II came to an end, Madison again stepped forward, creating housing for the returning veterans on what is now the Lucy D. Anthony ball fields. In 1970, Madison established the Housing Authority to address the challenge of providing affordable housing for residents. This was five years before the Court mandated affordable housing through what became known as the Mt. Laurel Doctrine. We are one of only three (3) towns out of the 39 towns in Morris County to even have a Housing Authority. In the decades that followed, Madison became the model for communities looking for examples of successful affordable housing projects. Madison used a mixture of methods to meet the need from the scattered site projects on Loantaka and Belmont to the 80-unit Rexford Tucker Senior Housing on Chateau Thierry. Very often a new project would not only provide the much needed housing but would greatly improve a neighborhood. A few examples: PAGE 4 OF 28 Regular Meeting Minutes – June 22, 2015 • The recent partnership with Habitat for Humanity converting a contaminated former paving contractor site on Strickland to three for-purchase affordable homes. • Two projects on Elm St; one at the corner of Park Ave. that removed a building that was overtaken by cats and the other replacing a rundown residence that had been cited for allowing overcrowding and dangerous conditions to exist. Yes, we have a proud history in the world of housing. Of course this doesn’t mean we sit on our history. We must look to the future and how do we meet our moral and legal obligation to provide affordable housing. In the current climate, there are two major challenges we face in the world of affordable housing obligations. One is the Governor’s decision to let the Courts, not COAH guide the path to expanded affordable housing. The other is that affordable housing projects face the same challenge we all face in Northern New Jersey, the high cost of land. What worked in the past may not work for the future. As this elected body (Mayor and Council) took on the challenge it was the Madison history of housing innovation that drove the unanimous support for the combined housing and Civic Center project on Walnut St. This project would have provided 40 of the 88 units of our affordable housing obligation along with a new Civic Center. Because the site was located near public transportation, we were also eligible for extra housing credits reducing our total remaining obligation to 35 units under the proposed third round COAH rules. The plaintiffs in the recent New Jersey Supreme Court landmark case, however, maintain that our current affordable housing obligation is 1,000 units, not 88 units. It would have also replaced a building that was obsolete when Madison acquired it. Yes, an elevator was added just a few years ago but that work didn’t come close to dealing with the poor layout of the floors it serves and didn’t even touch issues with the front building. Adding to the housing challenge is the looming court filing deadline on July 8th. In the current political world of “kick the can down the road,” I commend this Council for taking on the challenge by giving full support to this project. Last Monday we heard many resident concerns about this project. Some could have been addressed through better research and education. Some would have been covered through the approval process, except for one issue, “Why is this moving so fast.” That last question has brought me to where I am now, asking you the Council to rescind the approval of the 40-unit affordable housing project and the rehabilitation of the Civic Center. Yes, we need be concerned about what may happen over the next few months related to our housing obligation and the specter of large for-profit builders imposing their housing projects on Madison, but experience has shown us that good long-range planning cannot occur under the pressure of short-term deadlines. In addition to asking you, the Madison Borough Council to rescind the approval of RPM and the proposed project I will be requesting the following: 1. That the Planning Board continue in earnest their work on incorporating an affordable housing element in our Master Plan. 2. Our attorneys to file with the Court a Declaratory Judgment action incorporating our strong history with affordable housing and our commitment to the future with inclusionary housing while working on a plan to create 88 housing units based on the third round COAH certification process. 3. Because the Council and Planning Board are the deliberative bodies responsible for affordable housing in Madison, I will be announcing in the upcoming weeks that representatives from both the Council and Planning Board will work with our Planner, Administration and others to formulate a comprehensive affordable housing strategy for Madison. Again I want to thank the Council for fully supporting what would be considered a “greater good” project. This is not a rebuttal of the work we were trying to do, but a PAGE 5 OF 28 Regular Meeting Minutes – June 22, 2015 recognition that we are not considered one of the top 25 small towns to live by accident. We attained that lofty ranking through strong and thorough planning and that is the course we intend to pursue. Thank you for listening to me from afar. Bob Conley Mayor INVITATION FOR DISCUSSION (1 of 2) Acting Mayor Baillie opened the meeting to the public for their opportunity to ask questions and make comments on those items listed on the Agenda only.
