Page 4 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • March 9, 2010 Wyckoff Supermarket case now includes consortium’s attorney by John Koster Three law firms are now involved in the ongoing hearings of the site plan application for the proposed ShopRite in Wyckoff. The attorneys include James Jaworski, representing Inserra Supermarkets, which is proposing the ShopRite; Gail Price, the attorney for the owner of the adjacent properties, Munico Associates, and the Stop & Shop that is one of Munico’s tenants; and John J. Lamb, who recently signed on to represent the consortium that owns the property where the Shop Rite would be constructed. The plans for a 62,174-square-foot supermarket will be on the Wyckoff Planning Board’s agenda again on March 9 and at a special meeting on March 16. Lamb filed a letter to notify the planning board that his firm, Beattie Padovano of Montvale, will be present at the meetings to represent the interests of Solomon Grossman, the firm that owns the land where the ShopRite would be built. “Our hope is to have a limited involvement in the application,” Lamb said. He noted that James Jaworski will remain the lead counsel. Lamb noted that Price had raised the argument that the proposed supermarket should require a use variance from the Wyckoff Zoning Board of Adjustment. Lamb disagreed, saying that the argument, voiced at the end of a previous meeting, surprised him. Following a critique from Price, Lamb also said that formal notification to the Bergen County Planning Board would be made about the proposed project, even though he said that no formal notice was legally required and that the more economical approach would have been to wait until Wyckoff had approved the site plan application before formally notifying the county board. Lamb also advised that he and his client would not accept a refusal to connect to Wyckoff municipal sewers and drains even though the connections might have to take place under land owned by Munico and used to accommodate Stop & Shop. Lamb asserted that the right to sewer connections was a legally defined one that would benefit Wyckoff and both supermarkets. Future plans call for the demolition of the existing building, which formerly housed an A&P and an adjacent Walgreen’s, and the nearby 11,700-square foot strip mall that, until recently, housed the Wyckoff office of the New Jersey Department of Motor Vehicles.
