PB 23 04 Redwood LLC Extension of Time Resolution 7 1 2026

WHEREAS, this being Applicant’s second request for a one-year extension for the approval adopted by the Board on July 5, 2023, to extend the approvals for one year or until July 5, 2027; and WHEREAS, the Applicant having submitted a letter detailing the reasons for a request for an extension of time presented by the Applicant’s attorney; and WHEREAS, Applicant having appeared before the Board to further details the reasons for the requested extension of time; and WHEREAS, the Board reviewed and considered the request for an extension of time documents submitted therewith; NOW THEREFORE, the Board makes the following findings of fact, based upon the evidence presented at its public hearing, at which a record was made: 1. The extension of time is requested due to the length of time required to obtain the necessary approvals from the Essex County Planning Board . 2. The Essex County Planning Board required the installation of a signalized intersection at the driveway and Pleasant Valley Way which was designed by the Applicant’s engineer and waiting for approval from the County Planning Board. 3. Applicant requests an extension of approvals from July 5, 2026 to July 5, 2027. NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Board reaches the following conclusions of law: 1. N.J.S.A. 40:55D-52 d. provides that a planning board shall grant an extension of final approval for a period determined by the board but not exceeding one year from what would otherwise be the expiration date, if the developer proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the board that the developer was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from proceeding with the development because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals from other governmental entities and that the developer applied promptly for and diligently pursued the approvals. 2. Chapter 25 §25-48.10 of the Township of West Orange Code provides that for good cause shown and upon written application, the Planning Board may extend the time period for limits set forth in this section. NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Planning Board of the Township of West Orange that an extension of time is granted for the approvals previously given for preliminary and final site plan approval for one year from the date of the expiration of the previous approval or until July 5, 2027.
