The subject site is located at 30 South Hope Chapel Road (C.R. 547) in the Township of Jackson, Ocean County, New Jersey. The site is identified as Block 20901, Lot 15 on the Township of Jackson Tax Map Sheet #209. The subject site is currently developed with one 2,164 SF single family home, three one-story garages and a contractor's yard. The property is bounded to the north by residential uses with wooded areas, commercial uses and East Veterans Highway beyond, to the south by Garden Street with residential uses beyond, to the east by S. Hope Chapel (CR 547) with commercial uses beyond, and to the west by residential uses with wooded areas beyond.

The proposed project consists of the development of a 3-story office building. The office building will consist of a total footprint of 4,937 SF, and a total square footage of 14,979 SF. The proposed project will also include associated site improvements including parking areas, landscaping, lighting, stormwater management facilities, and utilities.

This report has been prepared to define and analyze the stormwater drainage conditions that would occur as a result of the development of the subject site. Based upon the fact that the proposed development will result in more than 1 acre of land disturbance, increase in impervious coverage by more than 1/4 acre, and increase motor vehicle surfaces by more than 1/4 acre, this project is classified as a “major development” as defined in NJAC 7:8 and NJAC 7:50. Therefore, the proposed development has been designed to meet the stormwater water runoff quantity, quality, and groundwater recharge standards, as set forth by the Township of Jackson Land Use Ordinance, NJAC 7:8 and NJAC 7:50.

The following documents and data were used in the support of the design of the project.
