Project Description April 2026 Prepared by FBT Gibbons LLP Applicant: Orange Prospect LLC Property: 111 Prospect Avenue (CR 677) [Block 151, Lot 17.01], Township of West Orange, County of Essex, State of New Jersey Zone: B-2: General business Orange Prospect LLC (“Applicant”) previously received preliminary and final major site plan approval, with bulk variance relief for impervious coverage, pursuant to Planning Board Resolution PB-25-02, adopted on June 4, 2025 (the “Prior Approval”). The present filing is submitted as an amended site plan application, per N.J.S.A. 40:55D-46b. as it seeks approval of revised and additional improvements to the previously approved development, including amended parking, circulation, grading, drainage, landscaping, and related building and site work (the “Application”). Existing Conditions: The Property is located at 111 Prospect Avenue, beginning at the corner of Prospect Avenue and Woodland Avenue, and consists of approximately 8.29 acres in the B-2 Zone. The currently vacant site has long been developed and operated as an approved catering / banquet hall and restaurant use and presently contains the existing banquet hall / restaurant buildings together with multiple paved parking lots serving the site. The surrounding area includes residential properties generally to the south and west, the Residence Inn to the north, and Eagle Rock Reservation across Prospect Avenue to the east. Proposed Amended Improvements: The Applicant proposes amended site improvements in connection with the continuation and improvement of the existing and to be continued approved use. As shown on the submitted amended plan set, this filing includes renovations of portions of the existing banquet hall and restaurant buildings, reconstruction of the rear parking lot and related site features, revised circulation and walkways, updated grading and drainage, and related landscape improvements. The amended plan set increases the total parking count from 471 spaces to 486 spaces, with a corresponding proposed increase in maximum occupancy from 1,515 persons to 1,563 persons. Stormwater Permit and Soil Movement / Soil Removal Permit: The Application also includes a request for stormwater permit approval for the proposed drainage and stormwater management improvements
sons. Stormwater Permit and Soil Movement / Soil Removal Permit: The Application also includes a request for stormwater permit approval for the proposed drainage and stormwater management improvements associated with the rear parking lot and related portions of the site, including a new storm sewer system and related grading intended to improve on-site runoff control. The Application also seeks soil movement / soil removal permit approval for limited on-site earthwork associated primarily with reconstruction of the rear parking lot and new walkways. As set forth in the soil moving request, that work involves approximately 42 cubic yards of cut and 162 cubic yards of fill, with the cut to be reused on site, approximately 150 cubic yards of import, and no soil proposed to be moved off-site. The amended plan also further reduces site impervious coverage from the previously approved 60.53%—for which variance relief had been granted—to
59.76%, where 60% is permitted, thereby diminishing and effectively eliminating the previously granted impervious coverage variance. Tree Removal, Replacement, and Extension of Time to Replant: The Application proposes the limited removal of five (5) additional trees in the 6-inch to 13-inch D.B.H. category. In connection with that limited tree work, Applicant proposes 10 replacement trees, identified as 10 Thuja Green Giants, to be planted within a rear parking lot island. The Applicant also requests an extension of time to complete replanting in coordination with completion of the associated approved site work and the next appropriate planting season. The Township’s Tree Protection, Removal and Replacement Ordinance permits the Planning Board to grant the requested extension under § 28- 8. Summary of Requested Approvals: Accordingly, the Applicant seeks amended preliminary and final major site plan approval, stormwater permit approval, soil movement / soil removal permit approval, tree removal and replacement approval, and an extension of time to complete tree replanting under the Prior Approval. As shown on the submitted amended civil site plans, no new variance relief is required hereunder. In addition to the above stated approvals, Applicant seeks any and all variances, design exceptions, waivers, modifications of prior approvals or any other approvals as may be determined to be required during the Board’s review of this Application. Justification for Requested Waivers from Submission Checklist Requirements: Applicant seeks waivers from the following required Site Plan Checklist Items: • Item 46 (Solid waste management plan): a solid waste management plan was previously approved and, to the extent the Board requires an update, Applicant will provide one. • Item 52 (COAH Compliance): To the extent that any non-residential development fees are determined to be applicable for this development, Applicant will supply same to the Township Tax Department prior to the issuance of an occupancy certificate relative to the proposed improvements. Applicant reserves it’s right to supplement the submitted application materials via both additional submissions and professional testimony at the public hearing before the Board.
