West Orange Planning Board August 5, 2022 Page 3 of 4 increase in traffic,” hence, it is not anticipated that the change in use have any perceptible impact on the traffic operation of the adjacent roadway network. Site Access, Parking and Circulation As previously noted, access to the site will be provided via four (4) driveways, one (1) for each single- family home along Ridge Road. The Township of West Orange Ordinance and the Residential Site Improvement Standards (“RSIS”) (N.J.A.C. 5:21-4.14) state that a two-car garage and driveway combination shall count as 3.5 off-street parking spaces, provided that a minimum parking width of 20 feet is provided for a minimum length of 18 feet between the face of the garage door and the right- of-way. It is anticipated that each single-family home would provide a two-car garage (minimum) and more than 18 feet is provided between the garage and right-of-way. As such, the proposed single- family homes are anticipated to provide a minimum of 3.5 vehicle spaces and the proposed development would provide a total parking supply of 14 spaces. The Township of West Orange Ordinance defers to the RSIS regarding residential parking requirements which states a requirement of 3.0 parking spaces per five-bedroom single-family detached dwelling. For the four (4) single-family homes, this equates to a parking requirement of 12 parking spaces. Consequently, the Ordinance parking requirements are met and the proposed parking supply will be sufficient to support the anticipated demand of the project. Findings Based upon the detailed analyses as documented herein, the following findings are noted:  The proposed single-family residential subdivision will generate four (4) trips during the weekday morning peak hour, five (5) trips during the weekday evening peak hour, and 13 trips during the Saturday midday peak hour which is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the traffic operations of the adjacent roadway network.  Access to the site will be provided via four (4) driveways, one (1) for each single-family home along Ridge Road.  As proposed, The Project’s access has been designed to provide for safe and efficient movement of automobiles.  The proposed parking supply and design is sufficient to support the projected demand and exceeds the RSIS and Ordinance requirements.
