Glen Rock Passes McMansion Ordinance

Michael Shetler: Real Estate Agent in Glen Rock, NJ

In early May, Glen Rock Borough Council approved an ordinance governing the size of homes that can be built in the borough. Details can be found on the home page of Glen Rock's official website, http://GlenRockNJ.net. The new standards were adopted in an effort to keep properties from being overbuilt. The borough's planning board had been working on the resolution for the past two and a half years. Some of the new guidelines include:

- The total ground floor area of all structures shall not exceed 25% of the total area of the lot measured within 140 feet of the front property line.

- The minimum lot area of 11,200 square feet shall be measured within 140 feet of the front street property line.

- Height. No building shall exceed a maximum height of 32' from the average point of grade

Glen Rock, New Jersey - What is the Glen Rock?

Bergen County Realtor, Sal Poliandro, CDPE, SRES, SFR, Short Sale Specialist: Real Estate Agent in Ridgewood, NJ

If you ever find yourself driving through G len Rock, New Jersey you might pass by a gigantic boulder in the middle of the town. I know when I first drove by I thought to myself, "what is that doing there!?" In fact, the famous "Glen Rock" has quite a history. The town itself was settled around this enormous rock when it was left by a retreating glacier. The 570-ton boulder is called Pamackapuka, or Stone from Heaven, by the Delaware Indians. This rock served as a base for Indian signal fires and later as a trail marker for colonists. This is a very interesting piece of history right here in Bergen County - come check it out for yourself...you'll be amazed at it's size!
