The subject property is approximately 2.067 acres and is presently developed with a single-family house with an attached garage, a pool house that is under construction, and an inground pool that is under construction. Also under construction are drainage collection, conveyance and storage facilities and a retaining wall. Below is a summary of the proposed property improvements: Approximately 1.88 acres of the subject property either has or will be disturbed to accommodate the pool building and inground pool which are under construction and the drainage facilities, some which have been constructed and others to be constructed as part of this application. Since more than one acre of land is being disturbed for these improvements, this application is considered a Major Site Plan under the Township’s Storm Water Management regulations. As stated, the pool building and inground pool are under construction.

However, during construction it was determined that more than an acre was disturbed and work stopped pending approval of the Planning Board. The pool building and inground pool are considered accessory

owever, during construction it was determined that more than an acre was disturbed and work stopped pending approval of the Planning Board. The pool building and inground pool are considered accessory uses.

The applicant submitted a Landscape Plan that depicts new proposed plantings. 1. General 1.1. Architectural drawings were not provided as part of the submission materials for the pool building and pool. As such, we are unable to ensure that the proposed building complies with the residential building design criteria specified in Ordinance §25-9.7(b). The Applicant shall provide architectural drawings for further review. However, permits were already issued for these two uses. 2. Demolition 2.1. The Applicant shall provide testimony regarding the intention to remove any additional trees and obtaining a Tree Removal Permit pursuant to Ordinance §25-27. 3. Layout Plan 3.1. The Applicant shall provide testimony regarding the existing site conditions, proposed improvements, and conformance with applicable ordinances and regulations.
