Five Major Concerns with the Valley Hospital’s “Renewal.”
1. The children passing through Travell, Somerville and Hawes will be the ones forced to endure Valley’s massive reconstruction, which will be ongoing alongside BF Middle School for nearly 10 years.
2. During a six hour school day, construction trucks will drive back and forth past BF as many as 132 times on their way to and from the Valley construction site.
3. Valley’s 94 foot tall North Building will stand just 40 feet from the BF property line and will literally shadow the school’s grounds.
4. If you think Valley is already over-developed at 400,000 square feet, how will you feel when it’s “renewed” to 1,000,000 square feet?
5. In Ridgewood, is anything more important than the education, health and safety of our children?

Take a deep breath, there are more than five concerns. After Quiet Reflection they will become obvious.
There are a hell of a lot more than five. By the way, It’s pretty apparent that Valley has discounted the safety of the children factor. That’s not even on their radar.
5 is a good start, just like their lawyer drown at the bottom of the ocean!
How does that head of the board live with himself? Allowing Valley’s lawyer “The Drill Sergeant” to act like he owns these meetings, while treating the residents who would like to speak so disrespectfully? He can’t even remember if it’s 2 questions or 3 questions that he allowing? Get a clue.
It is so obvious that our planning board needs some state or county aid in this decision. The Drill Sergeant is running these proceedings any way he wants. He claims he is going to object before anything is said. The Board is out of it’s league and are scared of him. Valley must be paying this “pit-bull” a fortune to represent their interests. They’re old lawyer sits there and yawns the whole meeting.
The meeting was petty and useless last night. The only real point that was mentioned several times by Mr. Speck, for CCR, was that the board has the power to do what ever they want to the H-Zone not what Valley is asking for!
I don’t think the board or council should give them another SF. Keep the existing H-Zone. This is not a hardship case. Valley can easily build at their Paramus location without even a fight. Shame on Valley for not doing so many years ago when they started this mess. Valley, should blame themselves for Pascack Valley re-opening!
Valley, started as a Community Hospital and should remain this way (Like Graydon). Fix broken limbs and deliver babies. No one is having serious surgery here ever.
We could write letters to Gail Price and Charles Nalbanthian questioning the integrity of the proceedings. Time to get after Gail Price and Nalbanthian who are catering to Valley attorneys.
Go after their conduct!
Yes, why is it that PB members are never reminded that decisions concerning the H-zone are entirely in their hands, not in the hands of VAlley? Why is VAlley getting away with virtually spoon-feeding the PB?
