THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD — And then there were three.
For more than a year now, Ridgewood’s Planning Board has been mulling four applications from four separate developers for a quartet of proposed downtown housing complexes.
But village residents learned this week that one of the developers has backed out, completely withdrawing its application from consideration.
Terminal Construction — which had been eyeing the former Ken Smith Motors site for a multifamily, high-density housing development — notified Ridgewood in a letter dated Dec. 17 that it wanted to pull its petition.
Terminal’s proposed project, dubbed Ridgewood Station, would have been a 114-luxury apartment and retail complex on Franklin Avenue.
The application’s withdrawal should have no impact on the board’s ongoing consideration of a master plan amendment, which would potentially permit such developments in Ridgewood.

PARKING GARAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where was Big Al the Developers Friend. I heard that he was not at the last planning board meeting.
They will be back.
Did they say why they pulled the application?
#2, didn’t you hear? He recused himself. Can someone please explain how you can recuse yourself from an issue that you have been involved in for years!?!?
#5 Your right. Terminal construction pulls their application at the same time DEPUTY MAYOR ALBERT PUCCIARELL recuse himself.
Either way, the Ken Smith property is still in the new zone and once it is passed another developer can come in and build.
