Paulsboro LUB approves 2,400 sq. ft. warehouse addition for Norman Smith Enterprises with drainage plan conditions
Summary
The Borough of Paulsboro Land Use Board approved a Minor Site Plan and bulk variance for Norman Smith Enterprises to add a 2,400 sq. ft. warehouse at 624 West Broad Street, subject to additional grading and groundwater-control plans to address drainage near the Cedar Knoll complex and adjacent car wash.
The Borough of Paulsboro Land Use Board on Nov. 6 approved a Minor Site Plan and bulk-variance application from Norman Smith Enterprises, LLC to build a 2,400 sq. ft. addition to an existing warehouse at 624 West Broad Street (Block 95, Lot 2). The applicant told the board the facility houses floral plants and arrangements, operates from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and does not have customers entering the building; Borough Planner Chris Dochney confirmed 12 employees and adequate parking.
Borough Engineer Steve Cosaboon told the board a drainage concern exists behind the property near the Cedar Knoll complex and the neighboring car wash and requested more detailed grading and groundwater-control information before final construction. The board approved the application with a condition that the applicant submit additional plans showing grading and measures for groundwater and drainage control, consistent with professionals' recommendations. Erva Macauley moved the motion and Kathy McCann seconded; the roll call recorded ayes from Robert DeAngelo, John Giovannitti, Jack Henderson, Erva Macauley, Kathy McCann, Ben Mento, Alice Williams and Phillip Neff; there were no nays.
The board noted the owner does not require a Letter of Determination if the adjusted plans meet the professionals' concerns. The engineer also referenced an agreement letter from Sickels and Associates, Inc. outlining review responsibilities. The applicant and his counsel were sworn in during the hearing and agreed with the conditions placed by the professionals.
