Monsey, NY - Residents Worry About Route 306 Development
Monsey, NY - The developer of a 160-unit condominium complex off Route 306 will donate land to the town of Ramapo as open space, but some residents believe the project will add to the already-congested area. Howard Josephs, president of Blueberry Commons LLC, is proposing five multi-family apartment buildings on 10 acres near Route 306 and Kearsing Parkway.
The 16-acre site now has a parking lot and a swimming pool for residents of the Blueberry Hill housing complex. Josephs' family has managed the 318-unit housing complex for 40 years.
Michael Goldman, a resident of the Blueberry Hills complex for 30 years, said he was concerned about congestion because both complexes would share Kearsing Parkway as an entrance and exit. The road allows residents to leave or enter the complex from Jill Lane or from Route 306.

Howard Josephs has said in a meeting with the local residents that the town has told them if they want to build those Apartment buildings they need to add that empty land, they will be cleaning out the water and make it around 15 feet deeper and next to the water there will be the nice empty land.
Some local residents have asked Mr. Josephs to at least make that empty land into a park but he refused and said that it will be up to the towns parks and recreations to decide what to do with the empty land (he added that anyone who wants a park should contact parks and recreations and the more people who call the better responce will be).
