Neighbors fear proposed Ho-Ho-Kus subdivision might worsen flooding

THE RECORD

HO-HO-KUS — Residents who live near a proposed subdivision said they are worried the development will change the look of the neighborhood and might exacerbate flooding problems near their homes.

Six homeowners spoke out this week against the project, dubbed the Hollows at Ho-Ho-Kus, which proposes dividing 4 acres into 11 single-home plots.

“This is literally in my back yard,” Brandywine Road resident Anthony DiGiacomo told the Planning Board, before bemoaning a proposed 7-foot-tall retaining wall in the plan.

“You never expect that a 7-foot-high wall may be built behind your house,” said DiGiacomo, a resident since 2001, adding he fears a proposed stone trench drawn into the plans will disturb the root systems of trees on his property.

The parcel — currently the site of a large building with some accessory structures — is located at West Saddle River Road and Hollywood Avenue, extending to Van Dyke Drive.

“My initial reaction to the plans was that it appeared to be an awful lot of homes in a fairly small area,” said DiGiacomo. “This neighborhood is a beautiful area of Ho-Ho-Kus that I feel is being threatened.”

The DiGiacomos are one of the nine couples who have hired attorney Robert Inglima to oppose the subdivision on the basis that it would change the character of the neighborhood, as well as disrupt a “natural drainage” system that has been at work in the area for some 60 years.
