Hecker Carriage House, 36 Ridge Road (Block 80.05/Lot 40.02) off the list until Construction Official and Zoning Official reviews property as no one is in at the present moment. Safety is the main/biggest thing in his opinion. Councilwoman McCartney said that she truly understands amount of work and appreciates historical aspects of the George V. Hecker Carriage House, 36 Ridge Road (Block 80.05/Lot 40.02) but it is not operational like a diner. With the Zoning Official having this property in court and doesn’t think it’s a good idea to overlay those proceedings. Mr. McPherson suggested presenters to respond. Mr. Feeney said that livability is not part of the criteria or a factor for historical status. Chairman Bagoff reiterated not wanting to overlay proceedings to “throw another” Mr. Guarino said that the George V. Hecker Carriage House, 36 Ridge Road (Block 80.05/Lot 40.02) is a property on Ridge Road which is private. Gives/has no monetary gain, When Zoning Official (Ms. Gary-Adams) cannot speak on it, if someone gets hurt is Planning Board responsible? Mr. McPherson responded in saying that it would be more of a Construction Official and Zoning Official Determination. Mr. Paul Grygiel said that there would be no liability to the Planning Board. Councilwoman McCartney said that she’s unsure if once court has agreed and can take up again what the next steps should be. Chairman Bagoff said that the Commission would not have to represent, they would just have to reappear after litigation has concluded. To hold off on voting for Historical Distinction of the George V. Hecker Carriage House, 36 Ridge Road (Block 80.05/Lot 40.02) until after litigation is concluded for a decision.
