PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Council will conduct a special meeting on Monday, November 2, at 6:00 in the Municipal Building, 1001 Parsippany Boulevard.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss litigation over the lawsuit RD Realty vs. Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills and an application of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills for a “Determination of Mount Laurel Compliance.”
These matters will be discussed in closed session only.
Sources tell Parsippany Focus that Mayor Barberio will ask the Township Council to consider a settlement with RD Management which would permit a Whole Foods Market and several other stores to be built on the Waterview Tract.
In October 2013, the Township Council voted against creating an Overlay Zone at Waterview which would have permitted a mix use of Town Homes, and a shopping center which included a Whole Foods.
RD Management also has an application pending with the Parsippany Board of Adjustment for 120 affordable housing units which is scheduled to be heard in early December.
Regarding a possible settlement regarding Waterview, Council President Paul Carifi, Jr. told Parsippany Focus, “As always I will continue to listen to and represent the people of Parsippany in what they want and not what others want.”
Mayor Barberio did not respond for a comment.
Sources tell Parsippany Focus that Whole Foods has also expressed interest in taking over the space currently occupied by Pathmark in the Troy Hills Shopping Center.
