PLANNING BOARD SPECIAL MEETING
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on October 30, 2013 at 6:30 p.m., or at such other time and place as the Board may adjourn to thereafter, a special meeting will be held by the Planning Board of the Township of Middletown in the Town Hall, 1 Kings Highway, Middletown, NJ, for the property located at 307 Middletown-Lincroft Road and designated as Block 1063, Lot 10 on the Tax Map of the Township of Middletown (the “Property”). This special meeting is being held pursuant to an Order from the Superior Court of New Jersey remanding the application of Four Ponds Center Associates (“Four Ponds”) for the Property back to the Planning Board of the Township of Middletown to adopt a new resolution, with appropriate findings and conclusions based on the entire record, consistent with the Court’s written decision dated August 29, 2013. The Court’s Order requires the Planning Board, consistent with the Court’s written decision, to: consider the subject testimony of Four Ponds’ witnesses; apply the plain language of Township Code Section 16.627.N.2 concerning parking spaces on major interior streets in addressing the alleged exceptions and evaluating the merits of For Ponds’ application; and consider Township Code Section 16.627.N.9 concerning oversized parking spaces in light of the superseding RSIS provisions applicable to Four Ponds’ application.
The Applicant, Four Ponds, seeks preliminary and final site plan approval to develop and construct 342 residential dwelling units, one community clubhouse and associated recreational facilities, along with roadways, parking, walkways, stormwater management, utilities, lighting, and landscaping improvements. The 342 units proposed consist of 270 townhouses and 72 flats, including 68 affordable housing units. The Property is located in the RMF-2 (Residential Multi-Family) Overlay Zone. The existing commercial building located on the property is proposed for demolition.
The application does not require any variances from the zoning standards of the RMF-2 Zone; however, the Applicant has requested that the Planning Board grant any interpretations, waivers or exceptions reflected in the plans and materials filed (as same may be amended or revised from time to time without further notice) or determined to be necessary during the review and processing of this application.
The application, plans, as well as the Superior Court decision and order are on file and available for public inspection by all interested parties during regular business hours in the Office of the Planning Board.
