West Orange Zoning Board November 14, 2025 Re: 104 Winding Way – Pardo Development Our File No. 115.WRZ0046.V01 CME Planning Review #1 Page 2 S:\West Orange\Zoning Board\115.WRZ0046.V01 - Pardo Development Group, Inc. (104 Winding Way)\25-11-14 Pardo - CME Planning Review 1.docx 2. Project and Property Description The property is located technically on Winding Way, but is accessed by the end of Undercliff Terrace, as Winding Way is a paper street in this location. The property is 14,352 square feet in area, and is currently undeveloped and wooded, and contains steep slopes that rise uphill from the front of the lot to the back. Per Township regulations, the effective lot area of the site is 2,491 square feet once the steep slopes are factored. The site is surrounded by single family residences on lots of varying sizes to the east and south, and by the Rock Spring golf course and country club to the west and north. The applicant is proposing to remove some of the existing trees from the lot and construct a 2.5 story single family dwelling near the front of the lot, with a fence and retaining wall in the rear yard built into the slope of the site. One driveway access is proposed onto Winding Way, and an extension of Undercliff Terrace into the Winding Way ROW to access the site is proposed as well. A tree survey provided indicates that 25 trees with a caliper of 4 inches or greater are proposed to be removed to accommodate the proposed dwelling, and requiring a minimum of 81 trees as replacement. 15 new trees are proposed on the site. This is a supplemental planning review of this application. For additional information and project description, please see the initial planning reports issued by the Nishuane Group dated February 18, 2025 and April 7, 2025. 3.
