Planning Board approves three-lot minor subdivision at 27 First Street with design waivers

The Township of Roxbury Planning Board approved a three-lot minor subdivision for Delta One LLC at 27 First Street on March 18, 2026. Attorney Ronald S. Heymann represented the applicant and engineer Thomas F. Graham described the proposal to subdivide a 35,093-square-foot vacant parcel into three lots: a remainder lot of 14,524 square feet, Lot 8.01 at 9,437 square feet, and Lot 8.02 at 9,797 square feet. All proposed lots meet the R-4 7,500-square-foot minimum.

The Board granted a design waiver for driveway separation (the proposed separation is approximately 30 feet where the ordinance requires 50 feet) because complying would encroach into the sight-triangle easement at the First and Baldus intersection; the applicant was directed to maximize separation on revised plans where feasible. The Board also granted a waiver from the sidewalk requirement along First Street, finding an isolated sidewalk would be impractical, and required curb and pavement improvements along Baldus Street as specified by the Township Engineer. Board Planner Massiel Medina-Ferrara confirmed "the application requires no variances and that all proposed lots conform to R-4 zone requirements." The Board conditioned approval on recording deed restrictions limiting impervious coverage for each lot and required the applicant to provide impervious coverage figures to the Board Engineer and Planner prior to memorialization.
