Golden Triangle Application Postponed for Two Weeks

Originally set for Wednesday, the Planning Board will instead hear a site plan application for the Golden Triangle Property on Wednesday, April 18.

A sign on the door of the Municipal Building announced the change Wednesday, though no explanation was given.

Toll Brothers is seeking site plan approval to build a 151,507-square-foot building on the property.  The application, on file at the township Planning Department, calls for the demolition of the existing building and the construction of a commercial/retail component on the site. Toll Brothers is seeking a use variance because it’s proposing 722 parking spaces. For a proposal that big, 758 parking spaces are required.

According to the application, the shopping center is expect to create between 250 and 275 permanent jobs, and its hours of operation will be 7 a.m. to midnight seven days a week. Entrances to the facility include one from Route 18, one from the Old Bridge Turnpike, and two on Tices Lane.

In January, Planning Board approved an application by Toll Brothers to subdivide the property into two lots, a 16.132-acre  parcel for retail, and a 7.191-acre tract for residential development. The retail component will border Route 18 and the residential component will border the Old Bridge Turnpike.

, Toll Brothers is allowed to build up to 220,000 square feet of commercial retail space—with no one store being larger than 180,000 square feet—and 200 to 400 housing units. Under the agreement, no more than 10 percent of those units can be three bedroom apartments. Mayor David Stahl has said he expects Toll Brothers to build close to the maximum number of units allowed.
