Memorandum Page 5 of 8 236 BROAD STREET, RED BANK, NJ 07701 • TEL 732.741.2900 • FAX 732.741.2929 • MAIL@HGAPA.COM • www.HGAPA.com 5. Planning Comments: a. Lot Requirements: The Applicant has noted that a new building is not being constructed on Proposed Lot 58.02; however, the existing single-family dwelling will be converted into a two-family dwelling, and the proposed subdivision plan exhibits a new addition to the existing dwelling. On proposed Lot 58.01, the Applicant intends to construct a two-family dwelling. It should be noted that these are proposed to be substandard lots for two-family dwellings, based on the proposed lot size, and several additional variances are required for setbacks and coverage requirements. The updated subdivision plan, with no revision date, shows the proposed structure, surface parking and insufficient driveway width. The bulk standards table provided does not match the proposed conditions. Applicant shall update the bulk standards table with calculations and setbacks that accurately reflect the proposed conditions in order to determine compliance with the ordinance requirements. b. Floor Plans: The Applicant intends to convert the existing-to-remain single-family dwelling on proposed Lot 58.02 into a two-family dwelling. Floor plans should be provided to determine existence of separate entrances for the two units, unit sizes, and number of bedrooms for each unit. Additionally, Board would like to review how the single-family dwelling is being converted into two-family dwelling with the proposed addition. The number of bedrooms and unit size for each of the unit is not provided. c. Building Design: Per §25-9.7a, no building permit shall be issued for any dwelling or residence to be erected in the R-5, R-6 or R-T District if the proposed dwelling is substantially alike in exterior design and appearance with any neighboring dwellings situated on the same or opposite sides of the street within 149 feet of a dwelling then in existence or for which a building permit has been issued or is pending. The distance herein specified shall be construed to mean the distance between the street property lines of the respective properties. No architectural plans have been provided to determine compliance. We recommend the Applicant provide architectural floor plans and elevation drawings to determine compliance with the ordinance.
