PB 26 04 Orange Prospect LLC Draft Resolution

15. The Board finds that there is a direct public benefit created by the reduction of impervious coverage and the Applicant’s stormwater improvements that will be installed which will improve stormwater drainage on the site, which justifies the Board’s granting of variance relief from a specific subsection of the Township’s storm water management standards as the Board finds that the revised impervious coverage, along with the proposed stormwater management plan, satisfies the intent of the applicable Ordinance subsection. 16. The second-floor area of the accessory building will be renovated to include a small locker room, bathroom and lounge area for employees (525 square feet) separate from the two- bedroom residential space that is accessed from its own entrance in the rear of the accessory building. 17. The residential space has two bedrooms, a study, living room, kitchen and bathroom and is approximately 1,844 sq. feet in area. The testimony provided by the Applicant established that the residential space has historically been reserved for use by employees/chefs/owners of the prior facility and Applicant accepted a condition that the residential space would be deed restricted for use by only those persons who were employees of the proposed same use to be known as The Estate, or such other name as Applicant may designate for the business at the Property. 18. Applicant requested relief under this Application to allow the trees that are required to be planted on site to be planted after construction is substantially completed during a planting season. The Board suggested that the landscaping and trees be planted by June 25, 2027 and this date was acceptable to the Applicant 19. The Board’s Planner, Ms. Apte, in her report dated June 5, 2026, indicated that the reconstructed gazebo in the rear yard intersects the required 50 ft. residential buffer line
