September 4, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 5 Glen Rock Borough considers senior housing questions by John Koster The Glen Rock Borough Council will probably reach a consensus within the next month as to whether to formally plan the proposed second senior citizen housing development for the parking lot behind the Galleria building on Rock Road or to opt for part of the large parking lot that serves the CVS store and a small office strip a block farther down Rock Road. Mayor John van Keuren said informally after last week’s meeting that a second consensus would be discussed: Should the second senior citizen housing development be constructed to bring in revenue for the borough or as a social service on an afford- able basis for local elders who want to live in Glen Rock? The Glen Rock Planning Board had con- vened on Aug. 26, but reportedly reached no conclusion, except that both issues needed to be resolved. The new senior complex would be along the same Rock Road access that accommodates the exist- ing senior citizen building, Glenpointe. The senior citizens at Glenpointe, set back from Road Road near the Galleria parking lot, are served by a community bus that takes them shopping and to the library on a regularly scheduled basis. Many residents are reluctant to leave Glen Rock, which has several houses of worship, downtown shopping, and the public library. Paterson woman caught with cache of valuables A Paterson woman is in Bergen County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail as Glen Rock and other residents are offered a chance to look at the loot the police recovered from the woman’s apartment. Officials believe much of the items were stolen from cars parked overnight in Glen Rock. Police said that in one instance, $1,200 in loot had been stolen from a single car on Glen Boulevard. About a dozen cars appeared to have been looted while parked overnight, and a number of similar burglar- ies have been reported. The police encountered the 31-year-old Paterson woman on Cedar Street in Glen Rock at 4 a.m. on Aug. 24 and released her after questioning. However, a survey of area houses revealed that seven homeowners reported thefts of loose money and small electronic devices from their cars. Police said that when they picked up the woman in Paterson and questioned her, she said she had entered cars and stolen cash and elec- tronics. They searched her apartment and found “a large amount of stolen property.” Six more residents reported that their cars had been looted. Anyone who lost valuables from a parked car is urged to contact either Detec- tive Sergeant Eric Reamy or Detective James Calaski for a look at the recovered valuables. J. KOSTER
