Traffic engineers testify on Ridgewood housing proposals

Echoing the earlier findings of a consultant hired by the village, traffic engineers testifying at the latest multifamily housing hearing said that their proposed use would result in less additional downtown traffic than other allowable uses.

About 15 residents, including several leaders of the grassroots group opposing unrestrained development, Citizens for a Better Ridgewood (CBR), attended the hearing on Tuesday in the Benjamin Franklin Middle School auditorium.

In the case of The Dayton, where 106 units are proposed for the abandoned Brogan Cadillac site (currently used as a commuter parking lot), an expert said a residential use would generate less traffic than the current use.

“What’s proposed would not result in a detrimental traffic impact … I think that’s important to understand,” said The Dayton’s traffic expert Karl Pehnke, an associate for Langan Engineering. “The applicant could actually produce less traffic than could otherwise be expected.”

The 52-unit Chestnut Village complex proposed for Chestnut Street, on the site of a former vehicle inspection station, would also generate less traffic than other permitted uses, including medical offices, an expert for the developer said.

Where is the vision for the current leadership of our community?

Our future as an inclusive community

Where is the vision for the current leadership of our community? 

JUNE 2, 2014    LAST UPDATED: MONDAY, JUNE 2, 2014, 5:38 PM

Letter: Our future as an inclusive community
Martin Walker

To the editor:

Congratulations to the winning candidates of our recent council election. We are extremely fortunate to have had three such talented and committed villagers running, but I am dismayed that not one of them articulated a vision of Ridgewood’s future as an inclusive family community, one that includes and fosters all generations.

Susan Knudsen and Michael Sedon rightfully insisted that village planning must shift from ad hoc responses to individual developer’s proposals, but our village politics as a whole seems stuck in the “tail(s) wagging the dog” syndrome. Some folks don’t like taller poles, our council must respond. Other folks don’t like construction, our council must respond. Others don’t want trees cut down, our council must respond. Still others don’t want public land fully public, but instead devoted to their kid’s favorite sport … ditto.

Now we read that one Planning Board member objects to a Walnut Street downtown location for assisted living because of “traffic.” Earlier objections reported have been “height.”

When will Ridgewood ever progress beyond the “not this, not that” level of leadership in community development? At what point can we break away from Washington, DC’s politic gridlock mentality by fully acknowledging that “NO” is not a plan?

Leadership requires elaborating on and then acting on choices. The greatest level of authority in community leadership accrues to those whose vision encompasses the widest sectors of a community projected the farthest into the future. Leadership for property value enhancement via educational excellence only looks as far into the future as the high school graduation dates of our current school population.

Leadership for family-oriented community includes allowances for the possibility that babies being born into our community could live out their lives and also die here. I see no plan addressing whether or not our children should have the ability to live here at all. I see no plan addressing whether or not our Ridgewood community should even include grandparents. No plan addressing whether Ridgewood should be a place to retire to versus retiring from.

Critics and proponents of Valley Hospital expansion make final pleas to planning board

Critics and proponents of Valley Hospital expansion make final pleas to planning board

THE RECORD

It was their last chance and they took it. 

On Monday night, 43 residents told planning board members how to vote on The Valley Hospital’s plan to nearly double in size, their last opportunity to voice an opinion before the board votes in two weeks.

Board members remained impassive for more than three hours as residents spoke for and against the expansion plan, some telling personal stories while others tried to review expert testimony given during the past 15 months of hearings.

Proponents of Valley’s plan to expand from 562,000 square feet to 995,000 square feet noted that less than 200 people showed up for the meeting, questioning whether a majority of village residents really do oppose the plan.

At the same time, opponents of the plan noted that out of the 10 people who spoke in favor of the project, about 7 or 8 were Valley employees or physicians.

“I urge you to consider voting for this change,” said David Sayles, a Valley supporter who talked about having loved ones in both Valley and another hospital in New York City. “It’s a lot easier for family members to go next door when a family member is in the hospital and going through a hard time. It’s a wrong decision to just shoot it all down.”

But those who want board members to vote in favor of the master plan amendment that Valley is seeking were vastly outnumbered by opponents, who repeatedly reminded the board that the 6-year construction project will likely affect students attending the Benjamin Franklin Middle School next to the hospital.

Reader says this past election was a mandate against Valley and overdevelopment of the CBD

For anyone with any doubts – this election was a mandate against Valley and overdevelopment of the CBD. This was also a wake up call for the Mayor, Mrs Hauck and Mr. Pucciarelli.

As for Mrs. Hauck’s outrage over a political divide, well, maybe you should look yourself in the mirror to see who created it. You’ve alienated everyone that does not see things the way you do and you only make things worse for yourself by commenting publicly. Remember the one about the Library being as important as the Police Department? Oh yes, and make sure to air all of your views in social media.

The Mayor and his team have had this “we know what’s best and we know better than you” attitude which has clearly put reasonable people off.

If anyone wasn’t sure about what most people feel are the most important issues in town, read the election results. Valley needs to be put in its place and there should be no Master Plan amendments to allow for over development of the CBD.

Ridgewood Council newcomers have zoning on their minds

THE RECORD

RIDGEWOOD — Two Planning Board issues took center stage during the recent campaigns for Village Council, which will soon include a pair of newcomers who were vocal opponents of overdevelopment.

And yet, how their sentiments shape their future decisions — and whether that will result in a fractured government — remains to be seen.

“It is striking and telling that this election was almost completely about two Planning Board issues and the process,” Mayor Paul Aronsohn said recently about the May 13 vote.

Both Mike Sedon and Susan Knudsen — who are to be sworn in on July 1 — were endorsed by a pair of citizens groups, one organized to fight The Valley Hospital’s planned expansion and the other forged to oppose the three high-density, multifamily housing projects currently being pitched for the village’s downtown.

Both projects — which have been on the board’s meeting agendas for the last year and a half — require master plan amendments before they can proceed. Members of the council are tasked with making decisions about the master plan.

However, whether the pair’s overwhelming win against another candidate — each got more than twice as many votes as James Albano — translates into an actual mandate regarding the projects is still unclear.

Logic questioned on eliminating traffic lane
David Slomin

To the editor:As a resident involved in the efforts to limit excessive apartment density increases pushed upon us by overzealous developers, I planned to write a letter of kudos to Ridgewood’s citizens for their great turnout and overwhelming vote of solidarity to Save Our Village in last week’s election. But then something came up.

I was made aware, only on the eve of construction, that Ridgewood was permanently closing lanes under the Franklin Avenue underpass, limiting traffic to one lane each way, while adding a dangerous bike lane.

While I thoroughly applaud efforts to improve safety, I question the logic and process by which this was approved. No clear notice or information was provided to residents and nobody reached out for input. Ridgewood’s website ignores it. Furthermore, while I’m told Engineering did careful reviews of this location, no village-wide traffic study was done to see how this might impact neighboring streets. And … this is right where they are proposing rezoning for more than 100 apartments!

THE RECORD

RIDGEWOOD – They waited 15 months to have their say and on Tuesday night two dozen residents stood before the planning board to explain how they feel about The Valley Hospital’s plan to renovate and nearly double in size.
For the most part, they don’t like it.

Out of two dozen residents who spoke, six were in favor of the proposal to grow from 562,000 square feet to 995,000 square feet and build a 245,000-square-foot parking garage.

“Valley is one of Ridgewood’s crown jewels,” said Rurik Halaby. “People talk about the quality of life in Ridgewood. I would think health is a primary component of quality of life. Having a world class hospital in our backyard goes a long way to ensure that.”

Philanthropists needed for hospitals looking to upgrade facilities, advance care

Philanthropists needed for hospitals looking to upgrade facilities, advance care

By Beth Fitzgerald
May 19, 2014 at 1:07 PM

For hospitals that depend on generous donations to modernize their facilities and deliver the latest advances in clinical care — philanthropists are a major lifeline.

This was underscored earlier this month when Ridgewood’s Valley Health System recognized David F. Bolger for giving $40 million in philanthropic gifts since 1999.  And as the president of Bolger & Co. Inc., a real estate and investment firm in Ridgewood with real estate holdings throughout the U.S., he divides his time between Ridgewood and Sarasota, according to Valley.

Audrey Meyers, chief executive of the Valley Hospital and Valley Health System said, “Words cannot express how deeply appreciative we are of David’s extraordinary support. We thank him for the impact his incredible generosity will have on the hundreds of thousands of patients who will be treated at the hospital for years to come.”

 “David Bolger has one guiding philanthropic principle: he wants to ensure his generosity benefits the greatest amount of people,” said Anastasios Kozaitis, president of The Valley Hospital Foundation. “His extraordinary support of Valley is only one facet of his philanthropy. His is a philanthropic spirit that looks to enhance and at times transform the communities for which he cares. David’s giving has allowed Valley to offer our patients the best technology that medicine has to offer. His philanthropy has saved countless lives.”

Bolger’s largest gift was $30 million in 2008 for the renovation of the main campus. Kozaitis said Valley is working with the Ridgewood Planning Board on a revised a redevelopment plan. The board had earlier rejected Valley’s original plan.

Architects detail designs for proposed housing developments in Ridgewood

Architects detail designs for proposed housing developments in Ridgewood

MAY 16, 2014    LAST UPDATED: FRIDAY, MAY 16, 2014, 12:31 AM
BY DARIUS AMOS
STAFF WRITER

Though planning and school impact considerations, among other areas of concern, have stimulated more scrutiny than building design, the architects of three downtown multifamily housing proposals were put through cross examination and public questioning at last week’s Planning Board meeting.

Board members are currently hearing three developers’ combined application to amend Ridgewood’s master plan to essentially rezone portions of the Central Business District and permit high-density apartment complexes as an acceptable use of land.

Last Tuesday’s hearing was the latest meeting in a process that stems back more than two years. It also bridges the course to a June 3 meeting, where traffic experts for each proposal are expected to begin testimony.

Enclave design

Architect Bruce Englebaugh explained the details of the Enclave, which his firm Minno and Wasko Architects designed for developer 257 Ridgewood Avenue LLC. The Enclave, as proposed, includes 52 dwelling units and approximately 30,000 square feet of retail space built along North Maple Avenue on property currently occupied by the Hallmark Floor Company and Arthur Murray Dance Studio.

“We tried to go through downtown Ridgewood and analyze the architectural vocabulary. We took that, analyzed it and put it in our building,” Englebaugh said, explaining the varied design elements. “We started with a homogenous façade. Through feedback, we started to subdivide the façade to make it look more like buildings in downtown Ridgewood.”

According to Englebaugh, one of the key elements was the reduction of the Enclave’s fourth story. The adjustment, he said, makes the building’s top level unnoticeable when viewed from the ground level on North Maple Avenue.

Property owner John Saraceno and Englebaugh reviewed the site’s projected parking layout. Both testified that the proposed plan incorporates 134 parking stalls, 56 of which will be reserved for public use. In comparison, the site currently boasts 74 parking spots with roughly 14 of those reserved, Saraceno said.

Ridgewood officials mull plan to address abandoned properties

STAFF WRITER

Ridgewood officials will soon have new guidelines to refer to when dealing with owners of abandoned commercial and residential properties.

The Village Council introduced an ordinance on Wednesday to adopt the state’s “Abandoned Property and Rehabilitation Act” for Ridgewood’s own village code.

The council has been discussing abandoned properties in Ridgewood since the issue was raised by Councilwoman Gwenn Hauck earlier this year. Hauck discussed the guidelines with the council at a meeting in March.

Hauck said she knew of a few locations within Ridgewood, which she did not name, where owners have let their properties go into disrepair, and she believed that putting the state’s guidelines in Ridgewood’s code could help village officials put more pressure on these individuals.

“We have to create a system whereby people know that they’re on record as being a problem,” she said at last Wednesday’s council meeting.

Revised guidelines for N.J. affordable housing ie “Ghetto Building” causes confusion

Revised guidelines for N.J. affordable housing ie “Ghetto Building” causes confusion

STAFF WRITERS
THE RECORD

New guidelines designed to determine how much affordable housing will be needed in New Jersey’s 565 towns over the next 20 years are already being criticized by housing experts as insufficient and opaque less than two weeks after they were unveiled to the public.

Some have even said the proposed rules, which estimate that more than 50,000 homes need to be built, could violate the state constitution, because they rely on calculations that have been struck down by the state Supreme Court.

What’s next

The proposed regulations for affordable housing are subject to review by the Office of Administrative Law and will be published next month in the June 2, 2014, New Jersey Register. A public hearing on the proposed rules has been scheduled for July 2. The final rules are supposed to be adopted in October and take effect Nov. 14.

The rules approved by the Council on Affordable Housing on April 30 are New Jersey’s latest effort to meet the state’s constitutional mandate that towns allow for construction of affordable housing. In addition to the new construction, the guidelines also identify more than 62,000 homes currently occupied by low- and moderate-income families that need to be fixed up.

But the mandate has existed only in the abstract in recent years; Governor Christie tried to disband the council in 2011, calling it broken and ineffective. The Christie administration also had its eyes on millions in towns’ affordable housing funds that would have been turned over to the state because they had not been used.

Last summer, the state Supreme Court overturned Christie’s bid to disband the council and in September ordered the council to approve new affordable housing obligations that take into account unfulfilled obligations from decades past, houses in need of rehabilitation and future demand.

The experts are done, and the floor now belongs to the residents.

Beginning May 20, the hearing for The Valley Hospital master plan amendment proposal will be open to public comments, the penultimate phase of a process that recently passed the 14-month milestone. Each resident who speaks at the next Planning Board meeting will be afforded three minutes to offer commentary on the application and describe any potential impact that might result from the project.

Though speakers may address many topics, Planning Board Attorney Gail Price offered residents guidance on how to present their statements.

“Make it about you and your family, your thoughts and issues that affect your life in connection to the hospital,” Price said at Tuesday’s board meeting. “Those things should be personal to you, not what’s happening to your neighbor or third parties.”

At the conclusion of this week’s Valley hearing, in which municipal planner Blais Brancheau answered remaining questions regarding his March 31 report, Price and Planning Board Chairman Charles Nalbantian reviewed the hearing procedure going forward. At the May 20 meeting, which will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Ridgewood High School, the board will establish a speaking order for residents, all of whom will be sworn in prior to making their statements.

A June 2 meeting at Benjamin Franklin Middle School has already been scheduled to accommodate additional speakers.

Ridgewood Planning Board sends changes to redevelopment plan to council

BY LAURA HERZOG
STAFF WRITER

A Planning Board discussion elicited further comments on pending amendments to the redevelopment plan for the village-owned section at the corner of North Walnut Street and Franklin Avenue.

The comments will be sent to the Ridgewood Council for review, according to Village Planner Blais Brancheau.

“We’re just going to send them a letter,” Brancheau said. “If the council reads the comments and says, ‘Let’s change it,’ they could.”

The council has already discussed amendments to a previous redevelopment plan, drafted by Brancheau with the help of the Planning Board. A second reading is expected at a council meeting on May 14.

The Planning Board approved its amended plan for council introduction in March. Those amendments include some added allowable uses, including an assisted-living facility, which could be incorporated into a parking garage structure. Allowing this use in the plan would not guarantee that an assisted-living facility would be built at that location. It would, however, allow the village to consider any assisted-living developers’ proposals that might come in, should the village adopt the amendments and draft a request for proposal (RFP).

Assisted living has been proposed by several developers for that location, ever since a presentation on a facility, with ground floor retail, was made last June to the council by Kensington Senior Development. The firm also offered to build a parking garage nearby.

The original redevelopment plan was created in 2007, following a village resolution labeling the area “in need of redevelopment.” The plan includes several objectives for the redevelopment. Primarily, the village is seeking to establish a parking garage, and secondarily, it is looking to encourage more retail in that location (which may be incorporated into the garage structure at street level).

An RFP was drafted for that plan, but the council rejected every consequent proposal, prompting the need for a reinvigorated look at the plan.

THE RECORD

HAWTHORNE — The door was already shut on Wal-Mart coming to town, but borough officials — at the urging of opponents of the planned supermarket — locked it for good measure on Wednesday night.

Wal-Mart announced in March 2013 it would scrap plans to bring a supermarket to Wagaraw Road after its application was met with fierce resistance from some residents, who argued the supermarket undercut community aspirations for a better development suitor.

On Wednesday night, the council — which had argued Walmart would bring in much-needed tax ratables — unanimously adopted a zoning ordinance that forecloses the possibility of any big-box developments returning to a stretch of Wagaraw Road, including the 8.6-acre lot where Wal-Mart planned to locate.

The vote follows a series of public hearings on the ordinance that borough officials and Walmart opponents alike said were productive.

“This new ordinance was negotiated with extensive public input and without a pending project to shape it,” said Joe Osborne, president of Hawthorne Deserves Better, the non-profit that led the charge against Wal-Mart. “That’s how it should be. We’re very pleased.”

Mayor Richard Goldberg said, “I don’t know anybody who’s not happy with what we’re doing.”

“All in all, it should be a win-win for all the residents in the borough,” he said.

The ordinance is aimed at making it “a little easier for businesses to open up,” Goldberg said, by establishing two new business districts on parts of Goffle and Wagaraw roads. Officials hope the districts will attract bakeries, electronics stores, grocery stores, restaurants, offices, health clubs and other businesses.

The new ordinance is expected to end the lawsuit against the borough, the developer and the Planning Board brought by Hawthorne Deserves Better, which had claimed previous zoning ordinances, dating to 2000, had been adopted without public notice, and that a 2011 ordinance was adopted to benefit the Wal-Mart project.
