Housing Development Opponents Monitor Next Steps

Members are disappointed that the application was approved before more studies were done.

With the approval of 17 homes on the former Wemple property at Twin Oaks and Steele Gap roads, the members of the group opposing the plans are determined to keep on top of what happens over the coming months. “At this time, I can say we will all still be attending all planning board meetings to see if there are any new developments,” said Patty Phillips, a member of the steering committee with Stop 18 Homes. “We are moving forward and all saying a lot of prayers that the DEP will come to our rescue.” The application is for the building of 17 single-family homes on the woodlands formerly owned by the late John Wemple, and currently owned by Steven Lang. Wemple, who willed the property to his nieces and nephews after his death in 2002, had …

Laura Hierspiel has some nerve talking about "touching a nerve" that a deceased persons wishes were not being followed. Ask her how horrible she was to her DEAD husbands children when he passed away unexpectedly. Stealing a child's college money and stocks. Refusing his children any of their fathers personal items that were sentimental value because she "couldn't find them". More like your …   more ›

18 Homes Plan's Assessment Incomplete, Opponents Say

Opposition will submit reports to the Planning Board that land is not 'isolated.'

After hearing an environmental expert with the applicant say at a recent planning board that 18 homes on the former Wemple property will not affect the animals there, an applicant hired by the opposition will speak Tuesday about whether the land is actually “isolated.” The application is for the building of 18 single-family homes on the woodlands formerly owned by the late John Wemple, and currently owned by Steven Lang. Wemple, who willed the property to his nieces and nephews after his death in 2002, had maintained to his neighbors that he never wanted to see the land developed, and made that a part of his will, which was overturned by the Superior Court of New Jersey in 2005. Stop 18 Homes, an organization made up of more than 60 …

I agree,greed is gobbling up increasing amounts of our precious lands. It may seem like this property is an isolated area,when in fact if one thinks about it,that is not the case,in my opinion. How many 37 acre tracts of land remain in Bridgewater? This property is just one example in how the search for the almighty dollar is continuing to destroy lands,and threaten wildlife.   more ›

Wemple Hearing Postponed, Applicant Revising Plans

The hearing has been postponed to Sept. 11.

The application for 18 homes on the former Wemple property at Twin Oaks and Foothill roads has been postponed until Sept. 11 while applicant Steve Lang finishes finalizing revised plans. The hearing for the application was expected to continue at Tuesday's planning board meeting with a report from the applicant's environmental expert. But Michael Cresitello, attorney for Lang, requested a continuance to a future meeting. "We are in the process of finalizing revised plans," he said. "We have asked to be carried to the next meeting." The next meeting is scheduled for Aug. 27, but the planning board will not have a quorum, so it has been pushed to Sept. 11. The application is for the building of 18 single-family homes on 36 acres of woodlands…
