Anthony (agency attorney) described the recognition agreement as a standard form that confirms the agency’s master ground lease with the redeveloper and that the redeveloper is not in default — information a prospective tenant requires before executing a sublease. He said the recognition agreement is the same kind of document that will be used for other prospective tenants at the Griffith/Riverton site.

The agency approved the recognition agreement (quoted in the meeting as resolution \"20 20 five‑two 0 8\") on a roll call in which all commissioners voted yes. Later in the meeting the agency approved a subproject allocation form for Bass Pro Shops (noted orally as resolution \"20 20 five‑two‑nine\"); staff said that subproject form is attached to the master redevelopment agreement and provides information required when the redeveloper develops a subproject.

The agency also authorized payment of its bills. The chair read the bill total as roughly $50,004.20, with separate escrow amounts discussed and recorded in the bill list. Commissioners moved and seconded the payment motion and approved it by roll call.

Votes and roll calls: each item was approved on unanimous roll‑call votes. The roll calls recorded the same set of commissioners voting yes (Mr. Davis, Mr. DeWise, Miss Fisher, Mr. Grillo, Mr. Parikh, Councilwoman Roberts, Mr. Scott and Chairman Zabrowski).

What the resolutions do: the recognition agreement confirms the master lease and the redeveloper’s status so that prospective tenants (Starbucks and similarly situated lessees) may proceed with subleases. The Bass Pro subproject allocation form formally documents a subproject under the master redevelopment agreement. No financial terms of the subleases or subprojects were discussed in public session.

Background and next steps: agency staff also reported ongoing construction activity at the Riverton/Bass Pro site (steel framing complete) and that negotiations continue on a Parcel A management agreement with Middlesex County and NJDEP. Staff said an FTA grant application for a multimodal study under the Garden State Parkway is advancing and the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority recently added the Sayreville Waterfront Multimodal Transportation Improvement Project to its amended program, a milestone for securing study funding.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","SERA Meeting - Feb 13 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The redevelopment agency approved two tenant‑related resolutions for the Riverton site — a recognition agreement for a Starbucks lease and a subproject allocation form for Bass Pro — and authorized payment of the agency’s bills totaling roughly $50,004.20.

Justin (staff) told the agency that a week‑long police speed survey found the 80th‑percentile free‑flow speeds were higher than the posted limit: \"The 80 fifth percentile, which is the free flowing speed, was higher than 30 miles per hour. It was 31 and 36 miles per hour, respectively,\" he said, explaining that county rules require a formal engineering report to justify a reduced limit.

The agency had first contacted the county informally and learned the roadway historically had been changed from 25 to 30 mph; the county now requires a formal engineering report that reviews comparable 25 mph segments and engineering countermeasures. Justin described the study scope as including a traffic engineering report and possible sign or geometric changes to reduce speeds.

During discussion, commissioners emphasized the safety rationale: schools and the municipal building are along the corridor, and even a 5‑mph reduction can alter safety outcomes. The commissioners moved and seconded a motion to proceed with hiring an engineer to prepare the county‑required report. The roll call that followed recorded unanimous support: Mr. Davis, Mr. DeWise, Miss Fisher, Mr. Grillo, Mr. Parikh, Councilwoman Roberts, Mr. Scott and Chairman Zabrowski all voted yes. The motion was approved.

Next steps: the study will produce the formal engineering justification to present to Middlesex County. If the county accepts the report, the agency will request a speed limit change for the segment identified (Main Street, Washington to McArthur).","The agency authorized an engineering report to seek a county‑approved reduction of the Main Street speed limit (Washington to McArthur) after a police speed survey found 80th‑percentile speeds above 30 mph; roll‑call vote was unanimous in favor.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6066177,"Paramount Realty seeks redevelopment amendment for 4‑story self‑storage on Main Street in Sayreville",1285,105000,1390000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3188889-4e20e1cabcb083f2bf810f7098850d25&start=105&end=1390","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3188889-4e20e1cabcb083f2bf810f7098850d25/thumbnail_105000.jpg","/articles/6066177/Sayreville/Middlesex-County/New-Jersey/Paramount-Realty-seeks-redevelopment-amendment-for-4story-selfstorage-on-Main-Street-in-Sayreville","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6066177-6d19f595db288fc79df1d1137fa8ff07/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160894&Signature=lKprOaQ1tGpSw6Ia2~A6srsfSfLn5NUxfUysMzewYIZQTw1bnoRnz1~~B2Ib2AvOsuq6Y6ajUdRwhdBmoJ4h2GDvnauxQdSIM8e-iLt6~Wfg8IpimDmFK4RFCw0scrH351gKwXtqXWb~DQ9~Npjbcjss7ZtsM6I1AZvo4j290TZQjnhOi4AtKl1KSosTrSVM5BO5urCe-MJTelsULzUjI7OOjX6-uH6cMXVcd2jKLlJdmnjSdyie3dxY-TxGvB8H4CmjJLYM6fbBh-WLZoOYLYa60Xvvbx5ay~NuRx3K7Nw-bb9ZmfkItZehHF0pEgm2jVIVPiZvJgoguPEG5xwUFA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Paramount Realty NJ LLC asked the Sayreville Area Redevelopment Agency on Monday night to amend the borough’s Waterfront Redevelopment Area plan to allow a four‑story self‑storage facility on a 3.4‑acre Main Street parcel.

The developer’s attorney, Thomas Roselli of Roselli & Roselli, said the application is preliminary: \"We are here this evening for an informal presentation on behalf of Paramount Realty NJ LLC for a proposed self storage facility,\" and introduced Tom Mueller of Dynamic Engineering Consultants to describe the site and design.

The proposal covers Block 333.02, Lots 1, 2 and 3 (Main Street, adjacent to the Garden State Parkway). Mueller said the project was previously reviewed in 2023 under a different applicant and that Paramount reduced the building by one story and more than 22,000 square feet since that review. \"We reduced the height of the building by 1 full story,\" Mueller said, adding the revised gross floor area is roughly 109,537 square feet with a 24,333‑square‑foot footprint and a 13,000‑square‑foot cellar used for customer storage.

Why it matters: the site lies in Sayreville’s Waterfront Redevelopment Area (Parcel J) where the underlying LI‑4 zoning and a 1999 redevelopment plan do not currently list self‑storage as a permitted use. The applicant asked the agency to amend the redevelopment plan to allow self‑storage, clarify minimum lot‑area and building‑height language and to adopt parking and loading standards for the use.

Details of the design and review process: Mueller said the driveway location on Main Street has been approved by the county and was sited to avoid wetlands and a JCP&L transmission‑line easement at the rear of the lot. He described an internal loading area added to the revised footprint and said the developer will provide traffic analysis as the application advances. On unit counts he said the final mix is not yet set but estimated \"between 800 and 1,200 units\" depending on market demand.

Commissioner questions and conditions: Commissioners asked about hours of operation (Mueller said the office will have standard daytime hours, not 24 hours), visibility from neighboring residences and ownership status (Mueller said Paramount is the contract purchaser; tax records show current ownership by individual owners). Councilwoman Roberts and other commissioners urged stronger landscape buffering along Main Street and the west property line; Roberts suggested adding higher shrubs in addition to trees to better screen the building from across the street.

Community outreach and next steps: Agency staff and commissioners recommended the developer conduct community outreach before advancing to a formal application. The agency suggested providing meeting space and assisting with notification. Roselli said the applicant will coordinate outreach with the redeveloper’s attorney and the agency and return with formal submissions.

Background: Mueller noted the redevelopment plan dates to 1999 and that self‑storage was not contemplated at that time. Among the limited technical changes the applicant seeks are (1) a reduction of the minimum lot‑area requirement as the site is about 3.4 acres where the plan references a 5‑acre minimum, and (2) a clarification that the proposed four‑story (plus cellar) building is permitted if the plan is amended.

The agency did not take a formal vote on the redevelopment amendment at the meeting; commissioners asked the applicant to perform outreach and to submit a formal application for consideration at a future meeting.","Paramount Realty NJ LLC presented a proposal to the Sayreville redevelopment agency for a four‑story self‑storage building at a 3.4‑acre Main Street site, asking the agency to permit self‑storage in the 1999 redevelopment plan and to clarify lot‑size and height rules. Commissioners asked for landscaping, traffic analysis and community outreach.","actionData","errors"]
