THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD — Congregants from the World Mission Society Church of God are seeking retroactive approval from the Planning Board for work performed on the grounds of its church four years ago.
A lawyer and engineer representing the religious group appeared before Ridgewood’s Planning Board on Tuesday night requesting the permits the Godwin Avenue religious institution needs for work that was done in 2011.
The unauthorized work was detected by village officials during an inspection of the Church of God site, and included re-striping of parking spots, installation of solar-powered light fixtures, and the addition of pavement and retaining walls.
Complaints from neighbors about traffic to the church and allegations regarding after-hours operations prompted the inspection, officials said.

they should get a fine. something is going on in that place.
Tax the churches.
Why should any individual or group be granted retroactive permission to do something that shouldn’t have been done in the first place? Make them rip out what they did and fine them with a warning–like anybody else.
FREAKS….,
I love your mission and what God is doing there and i pray that it continue to the end. our church in Nigeria is facing a very big problem please pray for us and also assist as the Lord may lead you thanks

The church is doing what Roberta does. Do something wrong, violate,the Village Code. Then ask for permission. This is what this administration thrives on. There is no way they can deny the church for doing what they always do. Such as the hiring of the human resources person.
