FINAL — V1 —SKW - 10.18.23 2. Board Member Eben recused himself from the proceedings upon advice from the Board's Attorney. 3. The Property consists of a single 44.5-acre lot, located on, and fronting, the east side of Prospect Avenue, north of Northfield Avenue. The lot also fronts Ridge Road to the north and east. The Property constitutes the athletic complex of the Seton Hall Preparatory School and is accordingly improved with athletic fields, tennis courts, paved parking areas, a multitude of detached outbuildings, field houses, and other associated improvements. Surrounding land uses include single- and multi-family residences, religious institutions, private clubs, and commercial, industrial, office, and open space. 4. The Applicant proposes to construct a two (2) story addition to an existing one- story building that presently functions as a maintenance and storage space (the "existing maintenance/storage building"). Following the proposed addition, this building would feature a fitness room, offices, restrooms, a machine room, and a janitor’s closet on the first floor, and a training area, office, storage rooms, restrooms, balcony, and a janitor’s closet on the second floor (the "proposed fitness center"). Additionally, the Applicant proposes to replace the functions of the existing maintenance/storage building through the conversion and use of one of the existing field houses, particularly the 6.630 square-foot field house building situated on the south side of the Property (the "southern field house") for these purposes. 5. A public or private school is a conditionally permitted use in the R-1 (single family residential) Zone, but school athletic fields are not a principal permitted use in the R-1 Zone. As such, the Applicant received use variance relief from the Board, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D- 70(d)(1), to permit the existing athletic complex use on the Property. Such relief is memorialized by way of Resolutions first adopted by the Board on December 16, 2010, and subsequently on
