In case you missed it, the owner of 257 East Ridgewood Avenue (former Sealfons building), has proposed construction of a massive six (6) story commercial/residential/parking garage structure to occupy the entire eastern portion of the Village block between East Ridgewood Avenue and Franklin Avenue.
Take a look at the attached photo to see how massive this structure will be! All labeled buildings would be demolished if this plan is approved by Ridgewood’s Planning Board. The proposed structure will be the same height as the existing apartment building on the northeast corner of Franklin Avenue and North Maple Avenue.
The Fly wonders why Planning Board members Nancy Bigos, Bernadette Walsh, and Albert Pucciarelli think this is such a good idea (all were quoted in a recent edition of The Ridgewood News as having a positive view of the plan).
Am I missing something besides the fact that this would be a large tax ratable? Is the Village now for sale?
