In a recent government meeting, plans for a new mixed-use building were presented, featuring residential apartments above commercial units. The proposed structure will be two stories tall, with three commercial spaces on the ground floor and residential apartments on the second floor. The building measures 90 feet wide and 40 feet deep, encompassing a footprint of 3,600 square feet.

Access to the commercial units will be from Green Hill Road, while residents will enter through a vestibule leading to a staircase that connects to the apartments. Each residential unit will range from approximately 1,044 to 1,105 square feet. The design includes a hallway on the second floor that provides access to all three apartments, which are arranged to facilitate a smooth transition from the commercial area to the more residential environment.

The meeting also addressed concerns regarding the building's accessibility, with a ramp designed to ensure ease of entry to the commercial spaces. Modifications to the grading have been made to reduce the slope to less than 5%, eliminating the need for a railing.

While the commercial tenants have yet to be determined, the developers confirmed that they are not seeking any variances from the commercial use designation, although they are requesting relief for the residential component, which is not typically permitted in the area.

The building will feature a basement for utilities, with heating and air conditioning systems located in the attic space above the apartments. The developers indicated that they would explore options for placing any necessary condensers within the attic to comply with township regulations regarding outdoor structures.

Overall, the proposed mixed-use development aims to blend commercial and residential spaces effectively, contributing to the community's growth while adhering to local zoning laws. Further discussions will continue as the project moves forward.
