Ridgewood NJ, as has been reported the Ridgewood Planning Board  has a number of multi-family, high-density applications in front of it .
A lawsuit was filed in May by attorney Kevin Mattessich on behalf of a resident’s grassroots organization, Ridgewood Citizens for Reasonable Development Inc. (RCRD).The  lawsuit that claims “conflicts of interest” by multiple former planning board members paved the way for high-density development proposals.

According to Susan Knudsen the motion to stay was adjourned to December 19th, but the judge issued a temporary stay on all applications before the planning board.
