If approved by the Joint Planning Board Thursday, the 27-hole golf course would be reduced to 18 holes -- 24 of which would fulfill River Vale's affordable-housing requirement by the state.

The remaining 225 units would be 193, three-bedroom townhouses and 32, two- and three-bedroom quadplex units.

Those homes have an anticipated market value of between $800,000 and $1 million, according to the applicant, The Fairways at Edgewood, c/o Woodmont Properties.

Concerns from community members pertain to more traffic and flooding when some of the course is replaced by asphalt and concrete, according to NorthJersey.com.
