Planning Board approves LC900 addition plan unanimously
Board members signed off on changes to LC900 after reviewing setbacks, coverage, drainage, lighting, and county soil-erosion requirements for the Block 18.8 property.
Two hosts walk through the week’s edition in conversation — application lc900 (block 18, application 25-45 (118 bridgton drive, and what’s coming next. Generated by Aware, from this week’s verified summaries.
The applicant said the addition would follow the building line, manage runoff on site, and keep the project within the zoning standards discussed that night.
A straightforward application ended with a unanimous yes. The Planning Board took up application LC900 for Block 18.8, a proposal that included an addition, site changes, and a close look at zoning limits for coverage, setbacks, and building height. The presentation walked through plan sheets, existing and proposed conditions, and a zoning analysis tied to the current building and the new work.
Board members heard a string of measurements and compliance points. The applicant team described a building depth of 85 ft, an enlargement of 3,000 square ft, and an 18 ft wide addition. The discussion touched on side-yard requirements, a two-story maximum, lot and building coverage, and parking in front of the building, with 21 spaces referenced during the hearing. The team said grading would be changed to push water away from the building and into an underground drainage system. Lighting and site illumination were part of the review as well.
The application included county-related compliance questions, and the applicant said the project would meet Morris County soil-erosion requirements. A speaker supported the plan and called it a nice change, while noting parking limits for nearby businesses. After board questions, members said the benefits of developing the lot outweighed the detriments, including possible effects from cars and parking. The roll call ended with unanimous approval.
Application 25-45 (118 Bridgton Drive; Block 294, Lot 12.1; Zone R-4) — legalize rear covered patio/structure, shed, patios/pavers, and concrete areas; impervious coverage mitigation and conditions
The Board approved application 25-45 for 118 Bridgton Drive, a legalization case covering a rear covered patio attached to the house, a rear covered structure, a shed, patio pavers, and concrete around the shed. The key issue was impervious coverage: the applicant’s engineer said the property stood at 63.8% where the zone allows 40%.
To reduce that number, the applicant proposed removing about 250 square feet of pavers. That would bring coverage to 59.8%, still well above the limit and still requiring relief. The engineer said stormwater impacts would be addressed through two systems using seepage pits and underground storage units. Board members focused on where runoff would go and made clear that inspections would be required after installation.
The Board kept other conditions in place too. Members discussed remaining setback issues tied to the shed and the rear covered structure, and they required that the cabana or gazebo remain open and not be enclosed. With those conditions, and with compliance tied to the Township engineer’s memo, the application passed unanimously.
Board approves two fire rebuild plans
The Planning Board unanimously approved post-fire rebuild applications for 32 Westminster Drive and 61 Windgate Road. Both approvals covered revised home designs and site conditions, with engineering requirements tied to runoff, soil, and coverage calculations.
These approvals let fire-damaged homes move toward reconstruction while setting site conditions that affect drainage and neighborhood impacts.
Driveway variance wins approval at Kagument
The Board unanimously approved application 2629 for 56 Kagument Avenue, allowing a driveway project with engineering-related conditions. Members said the final plan must be clarified and reviewed by the Township engineering department, and a neighboring resident spoke in support.
Approved a single-property driveway variance at 56 Kagument Avenue with engineering review conditions.
Board carries two cases, extends deadlines
The Board carried application 2622 involving the Franciscan Sisters of St. Elizabeth to October 21, 2026, and application 2535 at 755 North Farwick to September 30, 2026. In both matters, members extended the time to decide without requiring further public notice.
These delays push back when neighbors and applicants will get final answers on pending land-use cases.
Board advances three resolutions in group
The Board moved resolutions for applications 2627, 2630, and 2245 as one grouped action. The motion passed with all participating members voting yes, while one member did not take part.
Grouped resolutions for prior applications were moved and passed, mainly memorializing earlier substantive decisions.
