Village of Ridgewood Council Ducks Schedler Historic and Wildlife Preservation Responsibilities

Ridgewood NJ, They just don’t respond.  Jackie Hone has offered so much in the way of information that she asked openly to share with the council/ village manager.

According to the County public meeting minutes of March 28. The Village was put on notice regarding Schedler historic preservation of both parcel and house, wildlife and migratory act.

As such, the Village must move forward with historic registry of the Schedler house, historic eligibility of parcel and enforce wildlife preservation. Additionally, nothing can be done on this parcel, NO clean up/Phase 1, until after July 31 and only after historic and wildlife preservation/eligibility/registry is complete.

The Village council has not responded Jackie Hone’s emails or comments . Perhaps the Village manager and Council Majority was too busy with Earth day celebrations.

Council Members:

I did not receive a response or acknowledgement to my email below. Our mayor and village manager said they would provide an update “next time.” I don’t see Schedler on the agenda fortomorrow night. Will an update be provided? Is our Historical Preservation Commission aware of the County notice and will they move forward accordingly? Does this task fall under their responsibilities and/or Village administration? Who would be the person ultimately responsible in seeing that this get done?

Regards,
Jackie Hone

Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood blog has learned that the Village of Ridgewood was put on notice regarding Schedler historic preservation of both parcel and house, wildlife and migratory act despite claims to the contrary .

According to the County the house must be registered  historically and the parcel must be inspected for historical elements . The New Jersey DEP identified  two species of protected or endangered species with in the property .Including as previously reported on this blog the American Bald Eagle and the Heron. Its seems the Village manager lied on record dismissing the claims .

Council Members:

As stated during public comment, attached are the County public meeting minutes ofMarch 28. The Village was put on notice regarding Schedler historic preservation of both parcel and house, wildlife and migratory act.
