May 6, 2026 Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes

- The future development of the second lot would then be determined in a later application. - Ms. McGovern emphasized that they could not grant a blanket approval for an unspecified future two-family dwelling because too many design and compliance issues remained unresolved. - The board reviewed the parking requirements based on the applicant's testimony: o The converted existing house would require four parking spaces. © The proposed new building would also require parking based on its two-bedroom units. - Discussion focused on: o Whether parking would be arranged beside the existing house. o Whether tandem parking might be necessary. o Whether two separate driveways would ultimately work better than a shared driveway because of property line constraints. - Several members noted that the conversation would be much easier if a basic site plan showing driveways and parking locations were submitted. - Mr. Trembulak agreed to submit: o Aplot plan © Parking layout o Impervious coverage calculations - Chairman Bagoff stated that while complete architectural plans were unnecessary, the planner needed sufficient information to determine compliance with zoning standards. - Ms. Apte asked about the size of the existing home. - Mr. Trembulak stated that township tax records list it at approximately 1,700 square feet. - Ms. Apte noted that since each apartment must contain at least 1,100 square feet, the existing structure would require an addition. o Mr. Trembulak confirmed that the building would indeed be expanded. - Mr. Trembulak identified planner Matt Flynn as the applicant's expert witness. - Chairman Bagoff recommended postponing the planner's testimony until additional plans and calculations were prepared, since additional variances might ultimately be necessary. - Mr. Alper raised concern that the new house should be positioned far enough away from the existing house to satisfy fire department spacing requirements. - Mr. Trembulak responded that they intended to design the new house with greater setbacks to provide sufficient separation.
