Police accept Reverse 911 updates Ho-Ho-Kus Police Chief John Wanamaker reminds residents who are not currently on the borough’s Reverse 911 Demartini (continued from page 3) • Number of stories – two and a half permitted; four proposed • Parking – 239 required; 159 proposed • Number of bedrooms – 16/acre permitted; 85/acre proposed. It is anticipated that other variances would be needed as well, including lot coverage, density and open space. Marchetto said these would be delineated when the formal application is made. Board Attorney Cliff Singer suggested building the garage underground so as to reduce the height variance to a half story. Marchetto said the property is not large enough to accommodate ramps into an underground garage. Additionally, he said, the garage floor allows the residential floor to be one floor above the train. Dinallo said that based on his experience with similar developments, the proposal would appeal to residents wishing to downsize their homes yet remain in the area and to young professionals with one child or none wanting to live close to public transportation. The Demartini family operated the lumber yard on the property since 1938 and sold the business to Fairmount Lumber about 10 years ago, Paul Demartini said. That company vacated the premises about three years ago, and the buildings have been vacant ever since. Demartini said that while he is in the building business with a cousin, a project of this magnitude would have been too big for his company.
