Urbanization : Whats the cost to the quality of life in the Village?
January 6.2013

No one has articulated a purpose for this overbuilding or its cost in terms of traffic, changing the quality of life, burdens on village services, etc. Who is going to pay the extra taxes that the extra costs entail? Who is going to make up for the devaluation of our property values as we become more like Patterson and Hackensack? Mr. Mayor? Mr. Vice Mayor? Any of the others?

Where is the historical preservation committee on these building projects. My understanding is that these building projects are completely in opposition to everything that they (HP) stands for. The CBD has height restrictions and all of these 3 current building projects greatly exceed these limits. They also blow away the FAR restrictions in the master plan. Again, the repercussions of the Pfund days and the allowing of spot changes to the master plan by individuals is coming back to haunt the village residents.

  1. Show up to the planning board meeting and make your comments there. Paul and Pucc are trying to ram their pet projects through and the pb are stupified.

  2. when is the next planning board meeting?

    1. Check the Town Web Calendar.

  3. Listening first might be a reasonable approach before voicing a negative opinion. You might learn something.

  4. I don’t get it. Who would live there? Yuppies? No, they prefer Hudson county’s proximity to Manhattan and the picturesque harbor. Empty nesters? GTFO…90% of them go south. College kids? What college?

    It took a few months to rent out the places over East Coast Burger, let alone several dozen units. I can’t see the demand. How many will be section 8?

  5. Paul and Pucc know what good for the village that’s why they won the election big time.
