LAND USE BOARD GREEN BROOK TOWNSHIP NOTICE OF HEARING   PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on May 11, 2026 at 7:30 p.m., Andrew Street Residences Urban Renewal Associates, LP (the “Applicant”) will appear before the Green Brook Township Land Use Board (“Land Use Board”) at the Township of Green Brook, Municipal Building, 111 Greenbrook Road, Green Brook, NJ 08812, for a public hearing concerning its application for amended preliminary and final site plan and minor subdivision approval (“Amended Application”), as described below, on property located at 172-176 Route 22 West, designated on the Township Tax Map as Block 76, Lot 30 (the “Property”). The property is approximately 3.74 acres and is currently vacant. The Property is located in the Affordable Housing AHD 6 District Zone.   Andrew Street Residences LP, a related entity to the Applicant, obtained preliminary major site plan approval to construct fifty-four (54) affordable units for very-low-, low- and moderate-income individuals and families, plus one (1) superintendent unit, contained in one (1) building inclusive of an approximately 2,576 square foot community space within the building to serve the residents of the development along with surface parking spaces, landscaping, lighting, project identification signage and other related site improvements to support the development (the “Original Application”). The Original Application was approved and memorialized pursuant to a resolution adopted on September 8, 2025 (the “Approval”).   As part of the Approval, the Land Use Board approved the following variance relief from the Green Brook Township’s Ordinance, which the Amended Application (as described below) continues to require:   1. From Section 621.3-5(b) as the northern wing of the building is approximately five feet from the edge of pavement for the 24-foot-wide driveway (Township Ordinance requires a minimum distance of ten feet between the building face and the edge of pavement).   2. From Section 621.3-5(g)(5) as the Applicant proposes to remove 20 trees within the ten-foot-wide buffer area along Andrew Street (Township Ordinance requires healthy, existing trees within the buffer to be maintained).   3. From Section 621.3-5(g)(6) as buffer plantings are proposed along Andrew Street in two straight rows (Township Ordinance requires proposed buffer plantings to be arranged in a natural, staggered pattern and not lined up in straight, single rows).   4. From Section 621-3-6 for a lack of sidewalk connection between the multi-family building and the existing residential neighborhood (Township Ordinance requires direct pedestrian connections between residential uses and existing residential neighborhoods located adjacent to the district).   5. From Section 1002.6 for a retaining wall that reaches a maximum height of 10.42 feet (Township Ordinance limits the height of new fences to six feet. Note that Section 714i of the Land Development Ordinance indicates retaining walls are considered fences and must comply with the setback and height requirements of Article 10 of the Zoning Ordinance.).   6. From Section 1002.7 for retaining wall height of 9.83 feet in the Andrew Street front yard and 10.42 feet in the Alison Court front yard (Township Ordinance limits the height of retaining walls to four feet in the front yard).   Also as part of the Approval, the Land Use Board approved the following de minimis exception from the Residential Site Improvement Standards (“RSIS”), which the Amended Application continues to require:   1. From NJAC 5:21-4.14, Table 4.4 for number of parking spaces. The Applicant proposes 74 physical parking spaces, and the site is eligible for 11 EVSE credits pursuant to the EVSE legislation. Therefore, the Applicant proposes 85 spaces, where 110 parking spaces are required. (RSIS requires, for garden apartments, 1.8 parking spaces for each one-bedroom unit, two parking spaces for each two-bedroom unit, and 2.1 parking spaces for each three-bedroom unit. In this case, the eight one-bedroom units calculate to 14.4 parking spaces, the 32 two-bedroom units calculate to 64 parking spaces, and the 15 three-bedroom units calculate to 31.5 parking spaces. This totals 109.9 parking spaces, which is rounded up to 110 parking spaces per footnote <a> of the Table.)   As part of the Amended Application, the Applicant proposes to add 6 EVSE spaces to propose a total of 17 EVSE spaces.   Also, as part of the Approval, the Land Use Board approved the following waiver, which the current Amended Application continues to require:   1. From Section 702.10 for distance between shade trees greater than 50 feet (Township Ordinance requires shade trees to be planted on each side of every street at intervals of approximately 50 feet).   As part of the Approval, the Applicant received the following variance relief from the Green Brook Township’s Ordinance which has been eliminated as part of the Amended Application:   1. From Section 621.3-5(l) as the masonry trash enclosure is within the Andrew Street front yard with a setback of approximately 28 feet to the right-of-way. The trash enclosure is now proposed outside of the Andrew Street front yard.   The Applicant now seeks amended preliminary and final site plan and minor subdivision approval. The Applicant is proposing to subdivide the Property into two (2) lots:   • Proposed Lot 30.01 is proposed to be approximately 2.41 acres and the location of all proposed improvements;   • Proposed Lot 30.02 is proposed to be approximately 1.07 acres. No improvements are proposed on Proposed Lot 30.02 at this time.   In connection with this application the Applicant is seeking the following new variance relief from the Green Brook Township Ordinances:   1. To permit disturbance of 11,585 square feet of slopes 15% or greater, including 1,434 square feet of slopes between 15% and 20% and 10,151 square feet of slopes greater than 20%, where Township Ordinance prohibits the disturbance of steep slopes, which are defined as any slope equal to or greater than 15% as measured over any minimum run of ten feet.   2. To permit portions of the building to be located in areas where the slope exceeds 20%, where Township Ordinance prohibits the construction of affordable units on slopes in excess of 20% unless authorization is granted by the NJDEP.   The Applicant will also seek such variances, exceptions and/or design waivers that may be required upon an analysis of the plans and the testimony at the public hearing.   Copies of this application and related documents are on file with the Land Use Board Administrator of the Township of Green Brook at least ten (10) days in advance of the hearing and may be inspected at the Municipal Building located at 111 Greenbrook Road, Green Brook, New Jersey 08812 during regular business hours, except holidays.

The public hearing may be continued without further notice on such additional or other dates as the Board may determine.                                                                              DAY PITNEY LLP                                                                            Attorneys for Applicant ($144.48)
