NEW ZONING CHANGES IN RIDGEWOOD
13 LOTS IN TOWN FALL INTO THIS NEW ZONE
IF EACH LOT IS A MINIMUM 1 ACRE
AND NEW DENSITY ALLOWS 47 APARTMENTS PER ACRE
THEN NEW RIDGEWOOD WILL HAVE OVER 600 APARTMENTS
IF EACH LOT IS A MINIMUM 1 and 1 /2 ACRES, THEN 900 PLUS APARTMENTS.
THIS IS VERY SIMPLE, CAN RIDGEWOOD, OVER THE NEXT 5, 10, 15 YEARS HANDLE THIS? HAVE WE PROPERLY SAT DOWN AND DONE OUR LONG TERM PLANNING?
QUESTIONS TO ASK OUR PLANNING BOARD….
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT OUR:
TAXES
PARKING
TRAFFIC
SCHOOLS
SAFETY
EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICES
POLICE, FIREMEN
UTILITIES
OPEN SPACE
ENVIRONMENT
So far no one has given testimony on what will happen to our town when we have 13 developed lots. No one.
COME TO DECEMBER 3RD PLANNING BOARD MEETING AND ASK YOUR QUESTIONS OR JUST LISTEN IN. BF AUDITORIUM, 7:30PM. IF WE DO NOT ASK THESE QUESTIONS, NOBODY WILL.
EXAMPLES OF GOOD QUESTIONS TO ASK.
WILL OVERALL PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS GO UP AS A RESULT OF THIS AND WILL PEOPLE LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME BE FORCED TO MOVE OUT OF TOWN?
WHERE WILL ALL THE EXTRA CARS PARK IN OUR TOWN WHEN THESE NEW RESIDENTS HAVE GUESTS OR SERVICES VISITING THEM? IS OUR TOWN ACQUIRING AND BUILDING NEW PARKING LOTS FOR THE REST OF US?
BIG AL THE DEVELOPERS FRIEND says that Ridgewood is not for sale. If you believe in the TOOTH FAIRY then you will believe in him
