A timeline to coordinate meetings and file reports for two proposed downtown housing developments was established at Tuesday’s Ridgewood Planning Board meeting with hopes that the hearings continue to progress.

Planning Board Attorney Gail Price instructed traffic experts hired by the village as well as developers Garden Homes and Two-Forty Associates to meet outside of regular board meetings and discuss their individual findings. Those meetings and subsequent reports should take place over the course of the next two to three weeks, Price said.
A full, detailed traffic study for both development applications should be presented to the Planning Board and members of the public on Nov. 20.
During the same timeframe, experts who previously testified on behalf of the applicants will be asked to respond to a five-page document prepared by Village Planner Blais Brancheau and submitted to board members for review. The document is a checklist of key factors that the board should consider when determining if a multi-family housing complex is appropriate for a particular location.
