14 2026 02 12 Crestmont CC Environmental Impact Statement

To accommodate the widening, the applicant is dedicating property along its Eagle Rock Avenue frontage to Essex County. As part of the new Eagle Rock Ave/Oval Road intersection improvements, the realignment of the Crestmont Country Club exit driveway will connect into the new intersection, creating a 4-way intersection. The driveway realignment results in the need to reconstruct the club’s lower parking lot, which is in the northeast portion of the project site. Parking lot improvements on the west side of the existing parking area will result in more parking spaces for the country club. The widening of Eagle Rock Avenue, the realignment of the egress driveway and some parking areas, and additional parking area will increase impervious coverage. Due to the increased impervious coverage, the project requires stormwater management infrastructure to provide stormwater detention and stormwater quality treatment. 1.3 Relationship with Planning Documents The project site in the R-2 zoning district, which permits the following principal and accessory uses (Figure 5 – Zoning Map): • Principal permitted uses: o One-family detached dwellings o Water reservoir, well tower, filter bed o Federal, state, county, or township building o Golf course and golf club house o Farm, nursery, greenhouse, and similar uses o Hospital • Accessory Uses: o Required accessory parking o Private garage o Horticultural or agricultural building o Customary accessory building or structure o Private swimming pool o Private recreation facility o Home occupation o Home professional office o Signs o Fences and dividing walls o Farmstand for produce grown on premises o Private storage shed Golf courses are a permitted principal use in the R-2 zoning district. 2
