Tea room (continued from page 15) raze the mansion and replace it with 11 condominiums through the legal council of George Cotz, an attorney from Mahwah. Cotz disclosed that the property of the John Fell House and its outbuildings was still legally part of a tract that already included a number of condominiums, and that the owners of the existing condominiums had been entitled to notification that new condominiums were being contemplated on the same tract so they could support or oppose the plan. When Cotz determined that the proposed developer had not even attempted notification, the Allendale Planning Board dismissed the application without prejudice. The developer, a Fort Lee consortium, filed a lawsuit that was later dropped as the housing market collapsed. Friends of the John Fell House then applied for funding to buy the property and eventually restore it, and received most of the money they needed from New Jersey Green Acres and Bergen County Open Space grants. Private donations and the proposed tea room are seen as possible sources of additional funding. “The menu will consist of a selection of tea sandwiches along with traditional scones, biscuits, and cookies and, of course, a variety of teas,” Knispel said. “There will be music and other forms of entertainment.” Opening is anticipated for some time later this year. For more information, or to donate tea service items, contact Lynn163@aol.com.
