Notarization facilitated by SIGNiX® Jeanette im Notary Public LEGAL NOTICE TOWNSHIP OF WEST ORANGE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT SPECIAL HEARING PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on November 20, 2025 at 8:00 P.M., a remote public hearing will be conducted before the Township of West Orange Zoning Board of Adjustment (the “Zoning Board” or “Board”) for a preliminary and final major site plan application with variance relief filed by Public Service Electric & Gas Company (the “Applicant”), in con- nection with property located at 325 Mount Pleasant Avenue and designated as Block 155, Lot 26.01 on the Tax Map of the Township of West Orange, New Jersey (the “Tax Map”) (the “Property”). The Property is located within the O-R Office Research District (the “O-R Zone”), the Planned Unit Resi- dential Development (PURD) Zone (the “PURD Zone”) and the R-5 Single Family Residential Zone (the “R-5 Zone”). The station yard and a portion of the transmission ROW are lo- cated within the O-R Zone. The Applicant previously appeared before the Zoning Board on August 15, 2024, September 12, 2024, September 19, 2024, February 20, 2025, March 20, 2025, April 17, 2025, July 17, 2025, September 18, 2025, and October 16, 2025 in connection with this application. The Property is presently developed with the West Orange Switching Station (the “Station”), which is operated by the Applicant.

Station”), which is operated by the Applicant. The Station contains specialized electrical equipment and is currently used as a public utility installation-electric substation. The Station consists of several buildings: a multi-story brick building, a one-story control house and two (2) single-story buildings. The Station has been in operation for almost one hundred (100) years and will remain a public utility following comple- tion of the proposed improvements. The Applicant propos- es to demolish small, existing one (1) story buildings on the Property and to install a new one (1) story 26kV switchgear enclosure to house the addition of a 26kV switchgear and feeder reactors. Additionally, the Applicant proposes new drive paths to be located in the southeast corner of the sta- tion yard. The Applicant also proposes to remove the exist-

ing perimeter fence and replace it with a new eight (8) foot tall fence along Mount Pleasant Avenue (State Highway Route 10) and Prospect Avenue (County Route 577). Finally, the Applicant proposes install a series of small-scale bioretention basins to the east of the new equipment and to construct six (6) 70-foot tall lightning masts to protect the new equipment from lightning strikes. The Applicant is pro- posing to utilize temporary construction trailers on the Property for the duration of the installation of the improve- ments discussed above. Section 25-7.1, Attachment 2, Table of District Regulations, Part A: Permitted Uses Table of District Regulations of The Land Use Regulations of the Township of West Orange (the “Land Use Regulations”) does not list “Public Utility Build- ings or Structures” as a permitted use. As discussed above, the Applicant is proposing new equipment in the Station and a number of other improvements. As a result, the Appli- cant seeks variance relief pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D- 70.d.(2) to allow for the expansion of such nonconforming use. Section 25-7.1, Attachment 3, Table of District Regula- tions, Part B: Bulk Standards of the Land Use Regulations provides that the maximum permitted height is 2.5 stories and not exceeding 35 feet. The Applicant proposes to install six (6) 70-foot lightning masts, when measured to the adja- cent finished grade, and some ancillary utility equipment (bus supports and lightning finials) over 35 feet. As a result, the Applicant seeks variance relief pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70.d.(6). The Applicant also seeks the following additional bulk var- iance relief from Section 25-7.1, Attachment 3, Table of Dis- trict Regulations, Part B: Bulk Standards pertaining to the O- -R Zone: (1) a variance from the requirement that the front yard and side yard setback of corner lots must be a mini- mum of 100 feet, whereas the Applicant proposes front yard setback along Mount Pleasant Avenue (State Highway Route 10) to be 77.9 feet and (2) a variance from the require- ment that the maximum permitted lot coverage is 30%, whereas the Applicant proposes the lot coverage to be 49%. Additionally, the Applicant seeks a variance from Section 25- 8.4.d. of the Land Use Regulations, which provides that fen- ces or walls to be used for screening in nonresidential dis- tricts may not exceed six feet in height.
