C. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT COMMENTS 1. On May 20, 2025, the Township of West Orange adopted Ordinance 2918-25 which amended the Township's Stormwater Control Ordinance (SCO). This Ordinance defines a major development as one which individually or collectively results in: a. The disturbance of 0.5 acre of land since February 2, 2004. b. The creation of 5,000 square feet or more of "regulated impervious surface" since February 2, 2004. c. The creation of 5,000 square feet or more of "regulated motor vehicle surface" since March 2, 2021, or d. A combination of b and c above that totals 5,000 square feet or more. The same surface shall not be counted twice when determining if the combination area equals one-quarter acre or more. It shows on sheet 12 that the area of disturbance will be 32,434 sf or 0.74 acres. As a result, this project is classified as a major development and must comply with the requirements in Ordinance 2918-25. Response: Acknowledged. 2. The Applicant proposes an underground detention basin and a bioretention basin to mitigate the increase in runoff from the site. The overflow from these basins and the stormwater runoff from the undetained portions of the site will be collected and discharged to an existing 15" pipe which exits the property at the northeast corner of the site. Response: Informational; no response required. 3. The Applicant proposes to have the roof runoff discharge to the underground detention basin. It states in Chapter 11.2 of the New Jersey Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual that an extended detention basin (Non-GI) can only be used to address the stormwater runoff quantity control aspects of the development when a waiver or variance is obtained from N.J.A.C. 7:8-5.3 as it is not considered to be green infrastructure. Therefore, the Applicant requires a waiver from §25-29.4p (green infrastructure standards) of the Ordinance. Response: A waiver is being requested for the above-referenced requirement. Testimony regarding the proposed stormwater system will be provided during the Zoning Board hearing.
