Wawa Decision Could Come Wednesday

Board of Adjustment could take vote on Route 34 application

The Board of Adjustment could vote Wednesday on whether to approve an application to build a Wawa convenience store and gas station on Route 34 south and Hurley Pond Road. CJS Investments, of Wall, wants to combine portions of two adjoining parcels at the intersection to build a 4,000-square-foot Wawa convenience store with 16-pump gas station with a separate, 2,968-panel solar electricity farm behind it. The company finished up their pitch on the Wawa proposal at the April 4 meeting and is scheduled to begin testimony on the solar farm. It is possible the board could vote on the plans Wednesday. CJS holds approvals from the township to construct two office buildings on the site, which the company has held for several years. But because of…

Wawa Hearing Scheduled For Wednesday

Board of Adjustment scheduled to hear Route 34 application

The Board of Adjustment on Wednesday is scheduled to hear an application to build a Wawa convenience store with gas station and a separate solar farm on property at Route 34 and Hurleys Pond Road. Wall-based CJS Investments wants to combine portions of two adjoining parcels at the intersection to create enough space on each to build a Wawa convenience store with gas station with a separate, unmanned, 2,968-panel solar electricity farm behind it. The company's last pitch to the board was in February. Art Bernard, a planner who testified in favor of the Wawa proposal, touted the benefits to the surrounding businesses and the town. The land is zoned for office use. CJS is asking for the board to grant a waiver to allow the Wawa. “I think the …

How long til Wall looks like Brick? Moved here almost 20 years ago because I loved the woods, open spaces and farms. Rather pay the higher taxes to keep what little of that remains.   more ›

No Vote On Land Deal Creating Route 34 Wawa

Board of Adjustment declines to vote before whole project pitched

The Board of Adjustment on Wednesday declined to vote on a minor subdivision that would create space for a Wawa convenience store and gas station and a nearly 3,000 panel solar farm on Hurley Pond Road and Route 34. The applicant, township-based CJS Investments, wants to combine portions of two adjoining parcels at the intersection to create enough space on each to build a Wawa convenience store with gas station with a separate, unmanned, 2,968-panel solar electricity farm behind it. Stuart Challoner, of Toms River-based Challoner & Associates, touted the benefits of moving the lot lines between the two parcels, taking some from one and adding to the other, saying that the new parcels would be of more benefit for the improvement of both, …

The proposal calls for entering and exiting the WAWA from West Hurley Pond Road. Anyone who uses West Hurley Pond Road knows how short the light is and how dangerous the intersection is from speeding vehicles. The West Hurley Pond Road entrance and exit onto HWY. 34 is also a major turnaround for tractor trailor trucks which sometimes cause backups onto HWY. 34. I don't see how any traffic study …   more ›
