More than 1,000 truckloads of dirt would be imported to the site as part of the project.
A plan for a new 57-unit apartment building on Patterson Street in Hillsdale would require 1,040 truckloads of fill to raise the portion of the site where the building and parking lot would sit. Richard Eichenlaub, an engineer for the project, testified during a Hillsdale Planning Board meeting Wednesday that retaining walls would be built as part of the plan, ranging from 2 or 3 feet in height at the front end of the property and rising to 8.5 feet at the rear. They would need 18,977 cubic yards of dirt — 16,581 of which would be imported — to fill the area, he said. Delivering all the fill would take about two weeks, he said.

A developer who wants to build a new apartment complex on Patterson Street in Hillsdale will begin presenting an application to the borough Planning Board Wednesday. The plan calls for a three-story, 57-unit apartment building to be built on a wooded lot located between the PSE&G substation, some houses and the Pascack Brook. Some residents have already expressed concern about the size of the proposed building and said that it may worsen flooding further down the brook.

Cefali was one of a group of neighbors opposed to the plan who attended the previous board meeting to ask about the application. Another applicant had …
