Parsippany board approves site plan for 3 townhomes at 130 Troy Road, subject to engineering comments
Summary
The Parsippany Troy Hills Board of Adjustment granted preliminary/final site-plan approval for a three–townhome project at 130 Troy Road (Lot 726, Lot 15) on Jan. 15, 2025, contingent on resolving the board engineer and planner comments.
The Parsippany Troy Hills Board of Adjustment on Jan. 15 voted to approve a site plan with a D variance for three townhomes at 130 Troy Road (Block 726, Lot 15), subject to the applicant addressing outstanding engineering and planner comments.
The application, carried from October, was presented by Joseph O'Neil for the applicant and included testimony from Frank Matarazzo. O'Neil told the board the filing is a site plan only and that previously granted variances would remain in place. "This is the site plan now, site plan only," O'Neil said.
Board engineer comments focused on technical changes needed before construction: the accessible parking space must meet width requirements, the stormwater management design needs complete calculations and a maintenance manual, water service material should be copper rather than PVC, and a trench detail and curb elevations must match town standards. The engineer also flagged illegible lighting manufacturer data, the need for truck turning templates, and a missing fence that a prior resolution required.
The applicant agreed on the record to comply with the engineer's list. "Yes. We can. ... We will be able to agree to all of those comments," O'Neil said. He also said the condo association will be responsible for maintenance of the stormwater system.
Planning and engineering staff confirmed a required letter of interpretation for wetlands was expiring and would need extension before construction could begin. The board planner said the applicant is already working on that extension.
The board moved to approve the site plan with the condition that all comments from Board Engineer Lomonowicz and Board Planner Chadwick be addressed and memorialized in final plans. The motion was seconded and passed by recorded voice vote: Berkowitz — yes; De Krauss — yes; Eddie — yes; Winnie — yes; Ready — yes; Reniati — yes. Outcome: approved.
The board also noted on the record that another application on the agenda, the Singh application, had been formally withdrawn and would not proceed.
The board closed the special meeting after completing the Kawsawalla matter and the other scheduled items. Draft resolution language and details required for final sign-off will be circulated by the board attorney for counsel review before final administrative sign-off.
