Residents frustrated by property owners who show disregard for Village ordinances
I think your comment re “police state” is a bit much. No one is expecting the town to goose-step their way in and demand they comply or else. But certainly many places (NYC included) can levy fines against both residences and businesses that do not comply with their policy’s. That is far from a police state.
Why this town has no policy in regards to litter or basic ordinances regarding distance of cell towers from residences, schools, etc. is extremely disappointing. Especially for a town of Ridgewoods “stature” it truly boggles the mind that the village simply passes the buck on these issues.
While the village leadership continues to shrug their shoulders, these issues will help destroy home values, decimate tax revenues, and turn off new families who would consider moving here to raise a family.I am experiencing some serious buyers remorse because of stories just like these.\
Editors Note: It is important to not that the Village did issue summons to the property owner and that the proposed cell tower would need a zoning variance which has not been heard nor approved by the board of adjustment or heard nor approved by the Village council.
