Commission asks for pool and disturbance figures on Galloping Hill addition

Bernards Township Environmental Commission · August 25, 2026

Summary

For a proposed addition and garage expansion on a slightly undersized lot at 78 Galloping Hill Road, commissioners asked the applicant to show pool surface square footage and area-of-disturbance calculations and voted to approve comments to that effect.

The commission reviewed plans for an addition and garage expansion at 78 Galloping Hill Road on a lot slightly undersized for its zoning and discussed compliance with lot-coverage requirements. A committee member asked applicants to provide exact pool surface square footage and the area of disturbance to clarify coverage calculations.

Members noted the Board of Adjustment now counts the top of retaining walls toward coverage and asked the applicant to show roof area versus patio area and to provide average-chart assumptions (e.g., void ratios) used in impervious-area calculations. The commission moved to approve drafting comments requesting those clarifications and voted in favor.
