former Mayor David Pfund
We have former Mayor and now appointed local judge Pfund to tank. Without Ordinance 3066, passed purposely in July 2007 when many residents were down the shore, applications to amend the Master Plan would never have even been considered. Then the developers used an old anchoring by applying for 50 units, only to say they’d “comprised” down to 35. The anchor number used should have been the 12 in the Master Plan, and they should have comprised at 18-24, reflecting current Village densities. Development is surely need in the CBD – it’s an eyesore with too much dead space and decaying remnants of the past – but Ordinance 3066 and the 50 number should have never happened in the first place. That’s Pfund’s folly…. These wheels have been in motion since 2007
“This conversation needs to move forward. The important first step is for the Planning Board to rescind its amendment [to revise Ridgewood’s master plan],” Aronsohn said, referring to a 2010 Planning Board move that adopted changes in the hospital zone to permit the expansion. Those changes, however, are not effective without an ordinance passed by the council. WELL WHAT HAPPENED PAU?
Did he move as soon as he was off council?
