A long process has been memorialized with a long document.
The Planning Board on Tuesday approved a 47-page resolution explaining its vote on The Valley Hospital’s master plan amendment in June.
Though the resolution was passed without further discussion on Tuesday night, The Ridgewood News obtained the document via OPRA request Wednesday morning.
The document, which details the roughly eight-year history of the hospital’s two proposals, lists 113 points that were considered by the board in coming to its 5-2 decision to reject the amendment and the hospital’s proposal to expand, almost doubling in size to accommodate a switch from double to single-bed rooms and other modifications.
In its final point, the board notes: “The 2014 Final Board Master Plan Amendment, when analyzed with the concerns elicited by the 2011 Council in its Resolution, does not represent a substantial enough compromise and departure from the 2010 Amendment.

Awaiting the next step by Valley.
I was just thinking about them. They have been quiet since June. I can’t imagine that they have given up completely.
I am very concerned about what Valley will do next. They are clearly plotting something in secret.
