The Twin “W” First Aid Squad got past the first round of approvals on the way to constructing a free-standing garage for storage on its 2.5-acre property.
With the go-ahead from the township’s Site Plan Review Advisory Board on June 28, the next step is to appear before the Planning Board, which is expected to take place on Wednesday, July 21.
The volunteer squad will be using its own funding to construct the 1,230-square foot structure in the back of the existing facility on Everett Drive. The garage will be used to store equipment.
The application for preliminary and final major site plan approval does not require any variances and falls within the zoning regulations for the property. The 2.5-acre site will provide ample room for the structure, but the squad will lose 13 of its current 52 parking spaces, which should be adequate, he added.
The site plan application was required, even though the squad’s proposal meets all requirements.
