Changes have been made to the application and site plan for The Dayton, a multi-family development proposal that would be constructed at the former Brogan Cadillac site on South Broad Street.
The developer, Garden Homes, expects to formally present those changes to the Ridgewood Planning Board on Tuesday, Sept. 18, according to attorney Thomas Wells.
Representatives for the developer previously appeared before the Planning Board; however, the application was put on hold during the spring and summer months as the village opted to conduct a series of surveys and traffic studies. After several meetings with Ridgewood’s professional staff during the time off, the developer altered some of the plan.
In a Sept. 12 letter to Charles Nalbantian, chair of the Planning Board, Wells listed the “significant changes” that were made. Included on the list were the developer’s contract to acquire the adjacent property on Broad Street, which is commonly known as the Jiffy Lube building; the reduction of individual dwellings from 120 units to 106; an increase in parking spaces; and changes to the proposed building’s height and aesthetics.
Lets see how the Mayor and Deputy Mayor who are on the Planning Board vote on this one.
All of the projects will be scaled back. What does the master Plan have to say about the concentration in housing and the effect on village services and quality of life?
