Township Master Plan In 2019, the West Orange Planning Board adopted its most recent Master Plan Re- examination Report (“2019 Re-exam”). The following 2019 Re-exam planning objectives are relevant to the project: • Goal 8: Ensure safe and efficient transportation and circulation routes. The improvements at Eagle Rock Avenue and Oval Road include road widening, signalization, and a four-way intersection with the Crestmont egress driveway. • Goal 15: Coordinate public and private procedures and activities. Public and private parties are coordinating the improvements at Eagle Rock Avenue, a county road, and improving access for Oval Road, and aligning the Crestmont egress driveway with the intersection. Master Plan of any Adjacent Municipality within 500 feet of the Proposed Project While the area near the southwest corner of the project site is in Roseland, the LOD is about 1,200 feet from the Borough of Roseland municipal boundary. The 2020 Roseland Master Plan Re-Examination Report includes the following relevant goals which are consistent with the project: • Retain the existing residential character of the Borough. The project will not intensify the golf course use, remaining consistent with the Roseland residential neighborhoods west of Laurel Avenue. • Conservation/Recreation Objective: Preserve existing active recreational areas, both public and private, and encourage additional facilities as part of new development projects. The project improves the golf course, a private recreational area. The additional parking spaces improve the existing nonconforming condition, while realigning and signalizing the Eagle Rock Avenue and Oval Road intersection. Essex County Master Plan Essex County has adopted purpose-specific plans for topics such as housing and transportation.

The following goals are relevant to the project: • Environmental Sustainability and Resilience: preserve, protect, and enhance natural environment through green streets and green infrastructure.
