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.
