Existing development:
Commercial building, residential building and a number of accessory structures serviced by an onsite septic system
Relevant Information:
There are wetlands within 300 feet of the parcel to the south and within 600 feet of the parcel to the west.
The proposed development will be serviced by a commercial alternate design (Amphidrome Plus) onsite wastewater treatment septic system.

The applicant represents that the residential building is a single family dwelling. The applicant does not propose to reconstruct a single family dwelling on the parcel.
All of the accessory structures are less than 50 years old. The demolition of a structure less than 50 years old does not require an application to the Pinelands Commission.
A commercial building was constructed and vegetation clearing occurred on the parcel within the required wetlands buffer in violation of the wetlands protection standards of the Jackson Township land use 1.
