The 8pm regular meeting will include a public hearing on utilizing $10,000 towards sidewalk repairs and replacements following damage caused by Superstorm Sandy.

TUESDAY: The Williams College Elizabethan Renaissance a cappella choir will entertain all at the Oradell Public Library, 7pm. This widely sought-after Renaissance a cappella choral group is a student-run madrigal group comprised of nine members that will perform a mix of Renaissance fare, folk, spiritual, traditional, and pop music.

WEDNESDAY: Senior citizens from both towns are invited to attend the annual River Dell High School Interact Club's Senior Citizen's Prom in the high school cafeteria from 5 to 8pm.

THURSDAY: The Regional District, which introduced it's $30 million budget on March 4 will now hold a public hearing and final vote at 7pm at the high school. The budget includes the ability to hire two new teachers after refinancing the remaining debt service from the 2003 referendum for approximately $1.2 million in savings over a decade.

The River Edge Planning Board may review the proposed zoning change to allow duplexes on Park Avenue during its 8pm meeting. The ordinance, which would affect the eastern side of Park Avenue from Gates Avenue to Lincoln Avenue, was abandoned at the end of 2012 to allow residents more time to review the proposal. 

According to the ordinance the buildings would have a maximum  height of 30 feet from the ground to the roofline, be limited to two and a half stories and the garage would count as a single story. The duplexes could only be located on a property of approximately 7,500 square feet with a lot width of 70 feet and lot depth of 100 feet. 

FRIDAY: Postponed four times already, the Blauvelt Mansion's foreclosure sale is currently scheduled for 2pm at the County Sheriff's Office in Hackensack. The sale includes two mortgages - $3.7 million owned by Valley National Bank and $735,000 owned by First Choice Bank.
