Dear Ms. Morrison & Planning Board Members:

REMINGTON & VERNICK ENGINEERS has received the above captioned application for review. The Applicant is seeking preliminary and final site plan approval to construct a 14,979-sf, 3-story office building for 6 tenants in the RGC-2 – Regional Growth Commercial Zoning District. The site is located in the Pinelands.

The proposed site improvements include a curbed and paved parking area to accommodate 63 parking spaces (including 3 accessible spaces, and 7 EV ready spaces per the parking calculations), a 10 ft x 20 ft trash enclosure, concrete sidewalk, landscaping, lighting, modular block retaining walls, guiderail, and stormwater management with an underground basin. The Applicant is proposing to service the site with public water and public sanitary sewer. The Applicant proposes to access the site by way of a full access drive along South Hope Chapel Road. All existing improvements are to be removed except for the existing stockade fencing. The portion of the existing fence along the southerly property line is located outside of the subject property on adjacent Lot 11.

The subject property is located on the westerly side of South Hope Chapel Road (C.R. 547) at the intersection of Garden Street (The entrance road for the Pleasant Garden Apartments). The site is located in the RGC-2 – Regional Growth Commercial Zoning District. The site consists of 1.13 acres (49,270 sf). The existing site is developed with a 1-story frame dwelling, 3 – 1-story detached garages, and 3 access driveways along South Hope Chapel Road consisting of a looped paver driveway with brick walls and columns at both entrances and a paved driveway with brick walls and columns at the entrance. Additional existing improvements consist of concrete paver walkways, Belgian block curb, a broken asphalt/gravel area, fencing, mailboxes, and landscaped areas.

This report consists of our review of the Subject Application for conformance with the Jackson Township Land Use and Development Regulations Ordinance (Chapter 244) and is limited to planning issues. Engineering and legal issues shall be reviewed by the Board Engineer and Solicitor, respectively.

Comments are limited to the information presented to date. The Applicant may present additional information and testimony at the Board hearing.
