The former golf club land has been vacant since members filed for bankruptcy in 2009, and Parke Bank, one of its creditors, purchased the property at sheriff’s sale in 2010. The 30-page plan for the property reportedly includes three health care facilities and 20 homes on the 50-acre plot.
The Woodbury (N.J.) City Council last week approved a redevelopment plan for the site of the former Woodbury Country Club, which has been vacant since 2009, the South Jersey Times reported.
Following a previous Woodbury Planning and Zoning Board meeting, officials heard comments and concerns from residents before sending the 30-page plan, which covers the developer’s intentions with the land as well as relevant regulations and standards, to city council for approval. Officials stated a site plan could come before the planning board in August, the Times reported.
“Drainage and traffic were the two main concerns that people had about the plan,” said Mayor Bill Volk, following last week’s council meeting.
According to Volk, a previously reported issue of flooding at a home near the former country club has been resolved between the homeowner and the developer, the Times reported.
The developer, William G. Burris Jr., is CEO of the Moorestown, N.J.-based Burris Construction Company. Reportedly, Burris is interested in building three health care facilities and 20 homes on the 50-acre plot. The plan includes a rehabilitation center, a long-term convalescent facility and a center for patients with Alzheimer’s disease, the Times reported.
Burris also intends to build 20 single-family homes on the tract, each with an approximate value of $500,000 to $600,000, the Times reported.
