Public Notice
TOWNSHIP OF BERNARDS PLANNING BOARD HEARING
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Bernards Township Planning Board (the “Board”) will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, April 8, 2014, at 7:30 p.m. in the Court Room of the Bernards Township Municipal Building, One Collyer Lane, Basking Ridge, New Jersey, to review and act upon an application for amended preliminary and final site plan approval (the “Second Amended Application”) by Ecological Solutions for Mine Brook Road, LLC (“Applicant”) with respect to properties having street addresses of 13, 15, 16, 17, 23, 25, 27, 37, 39, 55, 74, 76, and 78 River Farm Lane (formerly with street addresses of Mine Brook Road and 195 Mine Brook Road) in the Township of Bernards (the “Township”), which are designated as Block 4701, Lots 2.01 through 2.13 (formerly Block 4701, Lots 2, 3, 23 and 24) on the Township of Bernards Tax Map (the “Property”).
By resolution dated July 8, 2008 (“Original Approval”), Applicant previously obtained preliminary and final site plan and preliminary and final major subdivision approval to permit the subdivision of the Property into 12 building lots upon which residences were to be constructed.  The Original Approval contemplated the extension of public water service to the Property.  The Original Approval was subsequently modified by Resolution #PB12-005, dated January 31, 2013 (“First Amended Approval”), in which the Board, among other actions, conceptually approved the use of wells in lieu of public water, but declined to grant formal site plan approval until Applicant further studied the construction of wells. In this Second Amended Application, Applicant seeks amended preliminary and final site plan approval to allow the installation of wells to provide water to the 12 proposed homes, the common areas, and other facilities, and the installation of a system of underground cisterns to provide water for fire prevention.  If applicable, Applicant also seeks amended preliminary and final major subdivision approval and relief from any prior imposed conditions in the Original Approval and the First Amendment Approval pertaining to water service.  Applicant is not proposing to modify the size or number of the lots comprising the Property and is not modifying any of the previously granted variances or design exceptions.
Applicant also seeks any additional exceptions, waivers, variances, interpretations, and other approvals reflected on the filed plans (as same may be further amended or revised from time to time without further notice) and as the Board may deem necessary during the review and processing of the Second Amended Application.
When this case is called, interested parties may appear, either in person or by attorney, and present any comments or information they may have regarding this Second Amended Application.  The hearing may be continued without further notice on such additional or other dates as the Board may determine.
The Second Amended Application and supporting materials (including maps and plans) will be available for public inspection, at least 10 days prior to the hearing, at the Office of the Planning Board Secretary of Bernards Township, and may be inspected at the Engineering Services Department, 277 South Maple Ave., Basking Ridge, New Jersey, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, or at such other regular business hours as set by the Township.
