Memorandum Page 5 of 7 236 BROAD STREET, RED BANK, NJ 07701 • TEL 732.741.2900 • FAX 732.741.2929 • MAIL@HGAPA.COM • www.HGAPA.com 6. Planning Comments: a. Lot Requirements: The Applicant has noted that a new building is not being constructed on Proposed Lot 58.02. However, the Applicant intends to construct a two-family dwelling on Proposed Lot 58.01. It should be noted that this will be a substandard lot for a two-family dwelling, given the lot size, and additional variances may be needed for setbacks and coverage requirements. Since no layout is provided, the new building’s compliance with setback requirements cannot be determined. It is recommended that layout of the proposed two-family dwelling be provided to determine compliance. b. Floor Plans: The Applicant intends to convert the existing-to-remain single-family dwelling on proposed Lot 58.02 into a two-family dwelling. Floor plans should be provided to determine existence of separate entrances for the two units, along with number of bedrooms for each unit. Additionally, Board would like to review how the single-family dwelling is being converted into two-family dwelling. c. Impervious Coverage: It is not clear if the proposed impervious coverage of 28% for proposed Lot 58.02 includes a driveway. This should be reflected in the proposed minor subdivision layout and calculation. Applicant should provide a breakout of impervious surfaces and their areas. d. Sheds: As indicated in the subdivision plan, one detached shed, located to the rear of existing lot, is to remain in proposed Lot 58.02. It currently sits within the side yard setback at 7.11’ from the property line, which does not comply with the provisions of § 25-8.1a, stating that accessory uses shall not be located within the minimum required side yard. The Applicant should also confirm if the structure is included in the impervious coverage calculation. e. Fences: The Applicant must comply with the requirements for fences in § 25-8.4, including that solid fencing in the rear and side yards should be less than 6 feet in height, and fencing that is less than 50% solid in the front yard should be less than 4 feet in height. The Applicant shall confirm the height of the fences in order to determine compliance. StreetView of the unit from Whittlesey Ave Source: Google Maps December 2024
