Ramapo looks at building plans

February
4

The Planning Board on Tuesday, Feb. 5, will be looking at a revamped plan for active-senior housing off Highview and Carlton roads.

In all, 102 units are proposed, down from 132 the developer wanted last year.

The catch is that it needs a zone change because the 11 acres can only accommodate about 14 houses under the current single-family zoning.

The developer points to fewer units and an increased buffer – green space between the project and the surrounding neighborhood – as making for a more acceptable plan.

What do you think? Can townhouses and condos ever mix with single-family houses? And what exactly are the concerns? Traffic? Noise? Visual aesthetics?

Orangetown to name RPC developer

August
6

Four years after buying property at the Rockland Psychiatric Center in Orangeburg, the town plans to announce K. Hovanian Homes as the preferred developer.

Tomorrow’s announcement won’t be a big surprise to anyone who has been following Orangetown politics of late, since Hovanian has been talked about in town for a while.

Still, this will make it official and will bring Hovnanian’s plans out into the open. Most recently, Hovnanian was pitching a plan for some 550 condos and townhouses for senior citizens. Stay tuned for details.
