Ridgewood developer hosts meeting on proposal

A developer proposing multifamily housing held an on-site public meeting to separate “fact” from “conjecture” on Tuesday night.

The audience of about 30 attendees included developers, the president of the Chamber of Commerce and several village seniors, who expressed interest in the apartments.

While most attendees appeared favorable of the development in their comments, a couple argued against points made by the developer, longtime resident John Saraceno.

Saraceno, who is proposing the 52-unit Enclave development at 253-257 E. Ridgewood Ave., touched on several “hot-button issues” over two hours, including: property taxes, schoolchildren, traffic, parking, architecture and how many units an amendment to the master plan that allows higher density housing might result in.

Saraceno was the first of four developers to make a multifamily housing proposal to the village. He began his quest for multifamily housing in 2008, he said, when he met with then-Mayor David Pfund.

Enclave developer to hold open house

The development team proposing the Enclave upscale apartment building on Maple Avenue between East Ridgewood and Franklin avenues will host an open house beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9 at 257 E. Ridgewood Ave.

The meeting is open to all village residents.

Developers for the 52-unit Enclave complex, as well as those proposing the Chestnut Village and the Dayton luxury housing projects, are seeking an amendment to the Ridgewood master plan that would permit high-density, multifamily housing in and around the Central Business District.

The master plan application is currently in the public hearing process before the Planning Board.

Ridgewood developer’s request to put distribution lines underground denied

After former village resident Dean Cerf’s recent housing development experience, one fact has been illuminated: PSE&G will not bury distribution lines underground in many cases, even if an individual is willing to pay.

After Cerf embarked on a plan to build three homes on Farview Street in Ridgewood, he was told by the village to have PSE&G bury the distribution lines underground.

But, to the frustration of Cerf and the Planning Board, which required the underground utilities, he learned PSE&G will not do it.

“We said [to PSE&G], ‘You have to, because it’s in our plans, and the town’s requiring it,'” Cerf said. “We tried to discuss it every which way we can. They wouldn’t discuss it. They said ‘no.'”

Cerf, the director of the Ridgewood Veterinary Hospital, noted that he was happy to comply with the village’s request, and planned to pay any cost to put the wires underground for the sake of the village’s aesthetics and safety.
