THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD — Age-based restrictions on housing planned for the downtown. Open space. A referendum.
All were suggestions floated by residents hoping to find ways to limit proposed high-density, multifamily housing developments in Ridgewood’s downtown if an amendment to the master plan is approved.
Several residents peppered the village’s longtime planner, Blais Brancheau, with questions about other projects that could be permitted in the area.
Could age-based restrictions be placed on these planned complexes, ensuring the school system would not be additionally burdened?
Could the village purchase or otherwise acquire the sites of the proposed projects to convert the land into open space?
Could the master plan amendment be put to the voters on a village-wide ballot question?

With all this “grilling” going I thought the topic was on barbequing —
Maybe that could improve the conversation.
A lot of towns already have apartments or condos that have age restrictions so then it solves the school problem, nothing wrong with that.
I don’t care a flying fuck what a lot of other towns have. I don’t want Ridgewood to resemble , become a city.
We have something unique and beautiful here and non of you stupid clunkheads appreciate it, so move elsewhere, get the hell out.
Nice mouth!
This guy Blais who is on the Village payroll has wasted every tax dollar of mine that has gone his way. He should be recalled.
I like you mouth #2 don,t hold anything back .
