Attorney Howard Sobel has successfully represented a number of residents who opposed the construction of side-by-side businesses on southbound Route 73 and Kresson Road.in Voorhees. The proposed development, which would have required the Voorhees Planning Board to issue 22 variances, called for a Super Wawa with (16) fuel dispensers and a Tractor Supply Co. store, built along Route 73 with an entrance/exit on Kresson Road.
Attorney Sobel, whose law practice is located on Kresson Road next to where the proposed Kresson Road entrance/ exit was planned and within inches of the proposed Wawa parking lot, objected to the development for a number of reasons, that included, but were not limited to the following:
Though the vote at the planning board was actually a tie, under municipal land use law, an approval requires a majority of planning board members present at the meeting. The developer has 45 days from the date of official publication of the board’s ruling to appeal the decision. Thus far, the developer has not responded.
Sobel applauded the decision, which came after a five months of hearings that included testimony of numerous experts. According to Sobel, the proposed development was like “trying to put 20 pounds of potatoes into a five pound bag”
