Dear Chairman and Board Members:
We have received and reviewed the following materials submitted in conjunction with the referenced application:
“Minor Subdivision Plan, 156 Willow Drive, Lots 4 & 5, Block 8901, Township of Jackson, Ocean County, New Jersey”. The drawing, consisting of 1 Sheet, has been prepared by Charles Surmonte, NJPELS #35885. The drawing is dated 08/25/2025 with no revision dates indicated.

The applicant seeks minor subdivision approval so as to establish two (2) new building lots on the subject property. As noted in the zoning schedule below, both new lots will require variance approval for deficient lot area, deficient lot width, deficient lot depth and deficient side setback. New Lot 5.01 will also require deficient front setback approval.
The 1.97 Ac. property located on the Westerly side of Willow Drive in the R-3 Zoning District has been previously developed with a single-family residential dwelling. All existing buildings which are designated to remain.
Based on our review of the submitted material we offer the following for the Board's consideration:

B. General Comments
Environmental Considerations- Based on our review of the Ocean County Soil Survey as well as NJDEP Geoweb information, environmental concerns relating to freshwater wetlands would not be a consideration in conjunction with this application. However, the applicant should indicate any comments which have been received from the local Environmental Commission.
Utilities- The submission materials indicate that water and sewer service will be provided by private individual well and septic systems. Any approval which may be granted would be conditioned upon Jackson Township Municipal Utility Authority review and approval.
Existing Road Improvements- The submitted plan indicates that no curbing or sidewalk exists adjacent to Willow Road. The subdivision proposal does not provide for the installation of these improvements. Any waiver which may be granted would be conditioned upon payment into the Townships Pedestrian Safety Fund.
The map shows a gore area between New Lot 5.02 and existing Lot 6. The map shows improvements within the gore area for access to proposed Lot 5.02. The applicant should be prepared to address possible solutions for this issue.
Design/Submission Waivers Required – None.
Outside Agencies- The applicant should be prepared to address the current status of the following agency approvals/permits which will be required in conjunction with any approval the Board may grant:
Jackson Township Municipal Utility Authority

D. Technical Revisions and/or Corrections
The map will need to be revised to be in accordance with the following Township requirement:
The minor subdivision shall be based upon a current boundary survey certified to by the subdivider and prepared or recertified not less than 12 months prior to the date of application. The outbound survey and subdivision shall be in New Jersey State Plane Coordinates, North American Datum, 1983. To assure the compatibility of the survey data and the Geographic Information System (GIS) in the course of development in the Township, the basis of bearings for all surveys must be stated in the New Jersey Plane Coordinate System, as adopted by state statutes and standards. The minor subdivision plat must contain a factual statement indicating the control monuments and methodologies used to establish the bearing system. Bearings shall be stated in degrees, minutes and seconds (as a whole integer). Survey distances defining the property and plan coordinate values of the description point of beginning and one other property corner shall be stated. Property surveys must close mathematically in all cases. Coordinated positions, bearings and distances, including the methodology for their establishment, must meet or exceed the published standards for Third Order, Class I accuracy.
The Surveyor's Certification should be revised to read the following:
I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief this map and land survey dated ___ meet the minimum survey detail requirements of the State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors and the map has been made under my supervision, and complies with the "map filing law" and that the outbound corner markers as shown have been found, or set. (Include the following, if applicable)
I further certify that the monuments as designated and shown have been set.
Licensed Professional Land Surveyor and No. (Affix Seal)

The proposed lot numbers will need to be approved by the Township prior to the filing of the map. General Note Number 8 will need to be revised upon the lot numbering approval.
The map should be updated to include the area for the six-foot-wide shade tree and utility easement on both new lots. A note should also be added to the map stating that the proposed easement will be formerly dedicated upon the filing of this map.
The existing driveway encroaching on adjacent Lot 6 should be relocated to fall entirely on proposed Lot 5.02. The map should also be revised to change the text for "Lot 7" to "Lot 6" on the adjoining lot.
Recommendations- Any approval which the Jackson Township Planning Board may grant should be subject to the following conditions being satisfied prior to signing the map:
Compliance with all Technical Revisions and/or Corrections previously indicated.
Plan revisions required by the denial of any requested variances and/or design waivers.
Confirmation regarding acceptability of the lot and block numbering indicated.
Payment to the Township's Pedestrian Safety Fund for any curb/sidewalk waiver which may be granted.
Receipt of approvals in compliance with all permit conditions from any Federal, State, County or Local regulatory agency having jurisdiction over this application.
