14 2026 02 12 Crestmont CC Environmental Impact Statement

1.0 INTRODUCTION On behalf of Crestmont Country Club (“applicant”), Langan has prepared this environmental impact analysis (EIA) as part of the applicant’s preliminary and final major site plan application. Crestmont Country Club (“project site”) is on Eagle Rock Avenue in West Orange Township, Essex County, New Jersey (Figure 1 – USGS Location Map). The applicant requests approval for access driveway realignment and on-site parking lot improvements. The project also includes off- site intersection improvements at the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue and the proposed project site driveway. Per §25-13 of the Township Land Use Regulations, the site plan checklist requires an EIA as part of the site plan application. The EIA describes the site location, proposed project, existing conditions, potential environmental impacts, and project permits and approvals. Based on the EIA findings as indicated herein, the project would not have an adverse impact on the environmental features noted. If necessary, mitigation measures would address potential impacts. 1.1 Project Site Existing Conditions Township tax maps identify the project site as Block 174 Lot 1.01 (Figure 2 – Tax Map). The project site is at 750 Eagle Rock Avenue in West Orange, with Laurel Avenue to the west (Figure 3 – Vicinity Map). The approximately 146-acregolf course includes a clubhouse, accessory buildings, some wooded areas, and parking lots having 256 spaces (Figure 4 – Aerial Photograph Map). Primary site ingress is from a driveway off Laurel Avenue near Eagle Rock Avenue. Primary site egress is via a driveway to Eagle Rock Avenue located between Oval Road to the west and Wakeman Street to the east. Driveway access to the Crestmont Country Club maintenance facility is off Laurel Avenue at Pine Road. 1.2 Project Description The 3.95-acre limit of disturbance (LOD) includes area along the Eagle Rock Avenue lot frontage between Laurel Avenue and the existing egress driveway. Other parts of the LOD include the egress driveway, parking area on the northeastern side of the parking lot, and unimproved areas between the Eagle Rock Avenue frontage and the parking area to remain as is. The project involves installing a new traffic signal at the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue

proved areas between the Eagle Rock Avenue frontage and the parking area to remain as is. The project involves installing a new traffic signal at the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue and Oval Road. To provide the necessary turning lanes at the new traffic signal, the widening of Eagle Rock Avenue will occur along the entire site frontage, from the intersection with Laurel Avenue eastward, tapering back to the existing roadway geometry prior to the intersection with Wakeman Street. 1
