Fast-Growing Somerset Still Popular With Builders

Laptop Battery After a decade in which Somerset was one of the fastest-growing counties in New Jersey, it may seem there's no room left for another new house. But more are on the way: More than 7,000 new single-family houses, townhouses, condos or apartments are in the pipeline now, according to an analysis conducted by The Star-Ledger of projects that are approved, under review by local planning boards or under construction.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Thinkpad "To a certain degree, we're a victim of our own success," said Bernard Navatto, chairman of the Somerset County Planning Board, who said the county's lifestyle and location make it a popular place to live. "At the same time, we're trying to work on redevelopment rather than development of open fields."

Microsoft Somerset County had the state's fastest growth rate in the 1990s, its population swelling 23.8 percent as the number of residents increased by almost 60,000 to a total of 297,490, according to the 2000 Census.

laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)

Laptop Computers While some of the increase came from families expanding and some from newcomers buying existing homes, many more moved into the 19,000-plus new houses -- from large McMansions to condominiums -- that materialized across fields and hillsides in the last decade. Among them, the county saw the near completion of the state's largest planned development, the Hills in Bernards and Bedminster.

Laptop Computer There will be thousands more new homes across the county if all the plans in the works come to fruition.

"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."

Desktop Computer Data gathered from the county's local planning departments showed that more than 7,000 new homes, everything from luxury apartments proposed in older downtowns to single-family homes in communities restricted to adults, are either approved, currently being reviewed by the boards, or under construction.

Notebooks Several trends are clear. There is a move toward housing for "active" adults age 55 and up, in Franklin, Hillsborough and a half-dozen other towns. Other residential projects are shrinking in size as land is used up in places like Branchburg. And small, older towns such as South Bound Brook and Somerville are seeing a wave of redevelopment.

Lenovo In recent years, Branchburg saw new neighborhoods numbering in the hundreds of homes as the agricultural community sprouted developments with names such as Mountainview Farm. Now, most projects there are 10 houses or less, built on bits of land next to established neighborhoods, said zoning officer Wayne Pilato. In at least one case, residents sold pieces of their back yards to a builder, who stitched together enough for four new houses.

Hard Drive Bridgewater also has numerous smaller subdivisions proposed, essentially filling in the spaces left between developments that came first.

Travelstar "The late'80s is when the big boom came. That's when the farms that existed, most of them, were bought up by developers and turned into residential sites," Pilato said. "Right now, we have very few farms left."

Gateway As homebuyers age, the kind of new housing proposed is also changing to keep pace.

Laptop Parts In the early'80s, the county saw new condo complexes geared toward first-time homeowners. The'90s brought big single-family homes, with luxury kitchens, three-car garages and everything a family could want. Now, age-restricted communities are on the way.

Software Franklin's Canal Walk development has 811 approved homes for "active adults," age 55 and up, and may include as many as 1,400 homes by the time construction is done.

Hard Drives The project will have swimming pools, tennis courts, a clubhouse and a social director. No children under age 19 can live there. "People want this kind of living, but they don't want to move to South Jersey," said Susan Brogan, Canal Walk's sales manager.

Electronics Two more active adult complexes also received conditional approval in Franklin. Bridgewater has two approved, both on Route 202-206. Similar housing is also proposed in Hillsborough, where Gateway at Sunnymeade would put 698 units of age-restricted housing off Falcon Road.

Canon While the adult housing is partly in response to aging of the Baby Boomer generation, those projects also feed towns' desire for development that won't strain the tax base, mostly by adding school-age children.

Desktop Pc "The municipalities are more than happy to accommodate those projects because they tend to have less impact on municipal services," said county Planning Director Robert Bzik.

Desktop Computers Not everyone wants them, however. Suzanne and Howard Kreiswirth of Hillsborough are among residents opposing Gateway at Sunnymeade.

Think Pad "I think it's horrible," said Suzanne Kreiswirth, whose house sits on an acre of land in an older neighborhood, Partridge Run. They moved there from Union three years ago. "Every night we see deer in our yard, and wild turkeys. We wanted our children to grow up in a beautiful environment, now they're just pulling it all away."

Repair Some of Somerset County's traditional downtowns are welcoming change. In South Bound Brook, there are plans to redevelop the old GAF industrial site into condos, and to build age-restricted condos on the site of an old school. Somerville is weighing plans for luxury apartments to replace an aging shopping center. Raritan Borough may see an old mill converted into 225 apartments.

Data Recovery While a wave of new homes means a spate of other changes in the future -- more traffic, more shopping centers, maybe even more cemeteries -- Navatto said encouraging redevelopment is one way to minimize that.

Cisco Officials also continue to attempt to preserve open space. Between 1995 and 2002, nearly 8,900 acres of county land were preserved through open space and farmland preservation. County officials said that is nearly a one-to-one ratio between preservation and development.

Keyboard Some communities feel they've seen enough growth already. "Downzoning" rural land -- increasing the minimum lot size required to build a house -- has also caught on.

Monitor Montgomery officials several years ago rezoned around the Sourland Mountains, with areas that were previously zoned for 2-, 3- and 5-acre lots being increased to 5- and 10-acre lots. Earlier this year, about a third of Hillsborough was rezoned to 10-acre lots, creating new agricultural and mountain zones. Peapack-Gladstone and Bedminster have also downzoned.

Desktop The changes weren't always easy -- Hillsborough's, in particular, spurred opposition from landowners. But in a town with a heavily developed core -- thousands of condominiums, homes and townhouses were built in Hillsborough, beginning in the 1980s -- and where much of the remaining land is environmentally sensitive, the idea was to slow things down.

Infosys "We couldn't buy every available piece of land that we wanted to preserve as open space," said Hillsborough planner Robert Ringelheim. "To preserve the farms and the fragile mountain system, the only way, other than buying properties, was to zone it so developers wouldn't be enticed to buy up large tracts and start making 50-unit subdivisions."
