SAVE GARRET MOUNTAIN
Help save Garret Mountain and the city of Clifton from overdevelopment.
Please attend the Board of Adjustment meeting on June 21st, 2023 at 7PM. We will link to the relevant documents when available.
Note: The hearing for May 3rd has been postponed to June 21st.
522 Valley Rd
Project
The site is located at 522 Valley Rd. The project involves demolition of the existing single family home to construct a complex consisting of 20 townhouse units within 3 separate buildings. The applicant seeks bulk variances, including building 4 story units. They seek approval to demolish the existing building and raze the property.
Under the proposed plans, they will cut down hundreds of trees and take away what little we have left of Garret Mountain’s beautiful views. The project will deface the mountain. This can also create additional traffic, noise and light pollution, and increase the already growing issue of flooding. This is a quality-of-life issue for the residents of Clifton.
