Reader says the Ridgewood Council still considering plans for Schedler property 

Its has been 2 1/2 years now that the “Dream Team Council ” of  ARONSOHN ,PUCCIARELL and HAUCK have been in charge of Ridgewood via their “Block Voting” and still no decision on the Shedler Property. What are they waiting for. Are they caught up with taking care of their friends at  The Chamber of Commerce and the Developers. Is the Mayor to busy with his Wellness Campaign? Is the Deputy Mayor to busy starting up his grass roots committee to help in the development of the CBD? Is Councilwoman Hauck to busy throwing luncheons for the Senior Citizens?  There the house sits rotting away while the Three Amigos promote their own personal agenda. The residents or “Folks ” should be applaud by the actions or rather non action of these three. After all didn’t our Mayor when running for reelection promise action on the Schedler  house and property. Didn’t he encourage “Folks” in the area of the property to also support his running mates. So now what?

Proposals For the Long Term Ground Lease for Development On Village Owned Property

Ridgewood NJ, Today at 11:00 AM, proposals were opened in connection with the Village Council’s plan to develop VOR owned property on East Ridgewood Avenue between Gilsenan Realty and The Gap.  This property now serves as a metered, surface parking lot.

It is the Council’s intent to lease the property to a developer, with the expectation of collecting ground lease fees and property taxes on any structure constructed thereon.  Council members envision that a developer might wish to construct a 2-story building with retail on floor one and office space above.  The developer would be responsible for finding suitable tenants and leasing/managing the property.

Two (2) proposals were received today.  Submitters were:

Langan Development
200 Riverfront Boulevard
Elmwood Park, NJ
https://www.riverdrive.com/overview.html

Initial ground lease fees = $75K per year

Tantum Realty LLC
66 York Street
Jersey City, NJ
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tantum-Realty-LLC/434182256712388

Initial ground lease fees = $30K per year

VOR staff members will shortly begin the process of reviewing each proposal to ensure conformity to established criteria and then forwarding compliant proposals to the Village Manager and Council for review

Various options for North Walnut Street redevelopment in Ridgewood

After a three-month hiatus on discussion about the proposal, the North Walnut Street Redevelopment Plan was reviewed at a Planning Board meeting on Tuesday.

Village Planner Blais Brancheau noted that, with the village’s many aims for the site, “trade-offs” will be needed to attract a developer. Brancheau was asked to discuss the North Walnut Street plan again at the end of the March 18 Valley Hospital hearing.

The plan was drafted for the village around 2007 by the consulting firm The Metro Company to address concerns with two municipal parking lots and specific adjoining properties on Franklin Avenue, North Walnut Street and Oak Street.
