Laganella Property Management Withdraws Site Plan Application

Laganella Property Management has withdrawn its application to the Planning Board for its latest proposal to construct two additional buildings on its Route 17 north property which also will house the 30,000 square foot health club which was granted approval last year after a series of contentious hearings.

The current site plan was to go before the Planning Board this Thursday night but plans were withdrawn prior to the hearing. 

It was withdrawn without prejudice which means property owner Nick Laganella can return to the Planning Board with a new site plan application.

The Planning Board granted Laganella site plan approval last fall after contentious hearings over his plans to complete development of Equinox Fitness Center at 776 Route 17 north. The approval allows for Laganella to add the  to the existing building. The site would have an estimated 372 parking spaces.

Laganella and the borough governing body reached an agreement this past October allowing him to purchase a parcel of land at the end of Sunflower Avenue cul-de-sac to be used to complete the fitness center development.

The most recent plans, which were withdrawn this week, involved the construction of two smaller buildings at 770 Route 17 that butt  up against the rear of Sunflower Avenue.

The proposal called for a 4,500 square foot unnamed fast-casual restaurant with drive-thru and a 15,000 square foot building of retail space.
