Board conditions subdivision approval on signage, corner markers and fire-department review after parking and safety questions
Summary
While approving the 541 Mantua Ave subdivision, the Paulsboro Land Use Board required corner markers/signage, discussed reflective tape or bollards for the shared easement and directed the borough engineer to obtain Fire Chief or County Fire Marshal sign-off on lot lines near buildings.
Board members pressed for clear circulation and safety measures for the shared easement between the wrestling club and the front business buildings. Jack Henderson asked whether corners should have protective bollards; the applicant and engineers agreed to install corner markers and prominent signage clarifying ownership and traffic patterns. Borough engineer Steve Cosaboon said reflective tape and signage would be sufficient given the site is familiar to regular users but the applicant agreed to additional corner markers.
The planner and borough solicitor raised questions about the location of the accessible parking stall and whether property lines running through parking areas should be adjusted; the applicant said the handicap stall is on a paved, accessible surface and the owners could adjust striping to enlarge the easement. The board explicitly required review and sign-off from the Borough Fire Chief or County Fire Marshal for lot lines that sit close to buildings before final approval, and assigned the borough engineer to obtain that sign-off.
