CAFRA is not the reason for the density. Bad planning is the cause. They exceeded the CAFRA standards by not confering with them through the planning process. The deal was done, the plan was made, and then submitted for review after the fact. CAFRA flagged the density as eccessive, the City countered by asserting (falsely) that the "infill area" was part of the redevelopment area. CAFRA bought into that and now lot coverage in the infill area is reduced to account for the excessive coverage at the beachfront. Many State agencies were under pressure at the time to 'facilitate' redevelopment. But the root cause of our high desities is bad planning. Werner ------------------------ Yahoo!
