BREAKING NEWS: FACING HEAVY OPPOSITION FROM THE NEIGHBORS, JACKSON PLANNING BOARD DENIES APPLICATION FOR 2,500 STUDENT SCHOOL CAMPUS OFF JACKSON MILLS ROAD



On Monday night, Jackson Township's Planning Board formally denied an application for a 200,000+ sq foot school campus with 4 schools for a total of 2,500 students on Chandler Road and Jackson Mills Road.


This denial came after numerous public hearings on the application which were well attended by neighbors opposed to the application. The neighbors were represented by Attorney Ron Gasiorowski.


The application was submitted by 394 Chandler Holdings, LLC, which appears to be owned by Rabbi Mordechai Neuman.


As depicted in the Site Plan designed by Lake Como, NJ-based Dynamic Engineering, the project is for a campus with 4 buildings:


A - 23,730 sq foot (Gross Floor Area) Boys High School for 153 students. 51 off-street parking spaces will be provided as required under Jackson's zoning ordinance of 1 space per 3 high school students.


B - 57,942 sq foot (Gross Floor Area) Boys Elementary School for 712 students. 89 off-street parking spaces will be provided as required under Jackson's zoning ordinance of 1 space per 8 elementary school students.


C - 63,160 sq foot (Gross Floor Area) Girls Elementary School for 810 students. 112 off-street parking spaces will be provided, more than the 102 spaces required.


D - 57,942 sq foot (Gross Floor Area) Boys Elementary School for 776 students. 101 off-street parking spaces will be provided, more than the 97 spaces required.


The entire parcel is 23.25 acres in area. The total Gross Floor Area of the proposed buildings is 202,774 sq feet.


Following the Board's vote to deny the application, Attorney Donna Jennings Esq. vowed to sue the Board.


"Tomorrow, the Asbury Park Press will have a headline declaring 'Jackson Fumbles Again,'" Ms. Jennings stated.


According to public records obtained by FAA News, Rabbi Neuman acquired Lot 46 (621 Jackson Mills Road) on January 17, 2023 for $880,000; Lot 62 (394 Chandler Road) on February 24, 2022 for $3,600,000; and Lot 63 (390 Chandler Road) on October 6, 2022 for $729,000.
