After several hours of testimony tonight, Jackson Township's Planning Board will continue consideration of an application for 3 high schools on Farmingdale Road with Pfister Road, on July 17, to give time for the applicant to return some technical concerns the Board expressed tonight.
The application was submitted by WB Ocean 26, LLC.
Each building which will have 2-stories plus a basement. Per the architectural plans submitted, the schools are anticipated to have a capacity of 522 students.
A total of 232 off-street parking spaces will be provided across the 3 separate driveways. This exceeds the 174 spaces required under Jackson's zoning ordinances which require 1 space per 3 high school students.
Each school driveway will have its own circular bus lane and loading/unloading area in front of each building.
It appears that sidewalk is proposed along the roadway frontage and around each of the school buildings.
Public records obtained by FAA News indicate that WB Ocean 26, LLC purchased the property in a 2017 foreclosure sale for $283,000.
Numerous neighbors spoke up tonight in opposition to the school application, citing concerns over traffic congestion, pedestrian safety, and regarding the proposed septic system.
