RESOLUTION OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
TOWNSHIP OF GLOUCESTER
APPLICATION # ZB-26-006
Justin Dupont
Block 17201, Lot 18
WHEREAS, Justin Dupont is the owner of the land and premises located at 1 West Gate
Drive in the Berlin section of the Township of Gloucester, New Jersey having made application
to the Zoning Board of Adjustment of the Township of Gloucester, Camden County, for a
variance to permit an inground swimming pool with a rear yard setback of 5.4' instead of the
required 10', for the property located upon Block 17201 Lot 18 as shown on the Official Map of
the Township of Gloucester, located in a R-3 Zone, said application being pro-se; and
WHEREAS, the Board, after carefully considering the representations made by the
applicant at the public hearing held on April 22, 2026, as well as having reviewed the application
and evidential exhibits at said hearing, has made the following factual findings and conclusions
based thereon;
1. The applicant Justin Dupont is the owner of the land and premises located at 1
West Gate Drive in the Berlin section of Gloucester Township, New Jersey, as shown on Block
17201 Lot 18 on the Official Tax Map of the Township of Gloucester, located in a R-3 Zone.
2. Proper notice was afforded all adjacent property owners as provided by the
applicable statutes and ordinances, and the applicant provided proof of said notice.
3. All property taxes were paid to date.
4. After being sworn, the applicant, produced John Kornick a Professional Engineer
and Planner. He stated the applicant is removing the old pool and replacing it with a new one that
is now only 5.4' from the rear property line. The old pool was leaking, and this new one is a
better alternative in that there is now a greater rear setback, and the leakage will be closed.
He stated the lot is a unique shape and this is a hardship and by adding additional landscaping it
will provide a better visual appearance and there will be no negative impact.
5. There were no objections to the application.
UPON MOTION duly made and seconded to grant the applicant the aforesaid variance,
the Board voted five (5) in favor, none (0) against and zero (0) abstentions, thus granting the
relief requested; and
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the relief requested by the applicant may be
granted without substantial detriment to the public good and otherwise without impairing the
intent and purpose of the Zoning Plan and Ordinances of the Township of Gloucester because of
the size and shape of the lot and the Board was of the opinion that the benefits exceed any
detriment; and
WHEREAS, the statutory purposes will be advanced by the granting of the relief
requested;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Zoning Board of Adjustment of the
Township of Gloucester on this 22nd day of April, 2026, the applicant Justin Dupont is hereby
granted the aforesaid variance for the property located upon Block 17201, Lot 18 as shown on
the Official Tax Map of the Township of Gloucester, consistent with the testimony, application
and exhibits, same of which are incorporated herein.

Application #ZB-26-005-2120 & 2136 Sicklerville Road Block: 19502 Lot: 26/27
Plans as shown along with available information do not reveal any anticipated traffic problems.
Stop signs/traffic control signs as shown must be installed upon or prior to any occupancy.
Traffic control signs as shown are not enforcible by police unless properly included by
Municipal Ordinance made through application of the site owner under new Jersey 39:5-1.
Emergency contact numbers for site issues with twenty-four hour contact should be provided to Police
prior to start of construction.
Other - Any speed limit or "no parking" signs installed must be adopted by Municipal Ordinance in
order to be enforceable by police
Other - If parking capacity is reached there is no offsite parking permitted on Sicklerville Road. It is a
concern that vehicles would park here if the parking lot is filled. Please ensure that overflow parking is
addressed.
Other - Please reconfirm that all corners and roadway bends are evaluated for safe firetruck access and
movement. We recently encountered a similar issue in the Village Green Development, which required the
installation of GT Ordinance I.O:81-14 prohibiting parking at the bends. This measure, while necessary
for safety, resulted in reduced parking availability for residents.
Other - I recommend that this site plan be evaluated and reviewed by Camden County due to the level
of impact this project can have on Sicklerville Road and the levels of service.
Other - Please ensure the site layout provides adequate access and maneuverability for fire apparatus,
trash collection vehicles, and other emergency vehicles to safely enter and exit the site. Should provide
turning templates demonstrating that passenger vehicles, delivery vehicles, and emergency apparatus can
safely maneuver within the internal and circulation areas.

VARIANCES:
1k. Minimum Tract Size - §500-407.E.(1) The applicant is proposing a 0.825 tract
where a minimum of 10 acres is required. A variance is required.
2m. Minimum buildable land area of tract - §500-407.E.(2) The applicant is proposing a
0.825 acre buildable land area of tract where a minimum of 5 acres is required. A variance is
required.
3c. Minimum tract frontage - §500-407.E.(4) The applicant is proposing a 213.81 feet of
frontage where a minimum of 300 feet is required. A variance is required.
4c. Minimum street setback - §500-407.E.(5) The applicant is proposing a 3.4 foot setback

setback from lots 9, 10 and 11 where a minimum of 50 feet is required. A variance is required.
6c. Minimum buildable height - §500-407.F(1) The applicant is proposing a building height
of 37.2 feet where a maximum of 35 feet is required. A variance is required.
Standard of Proof for "C" Variances:
1c. The applicant must provide testimony to justify the requested variances. For a C(1)
variance, the applicant must demonstrate that the strict application of the zoning
regulations to the property create a hardship or result in exceptional practical difficulties
by reason of the exceptional shape or the property or the exceptional topographic
conditions uniquely affecting the property, or the structures lawfully existing upon the
property.
2c. For a C(2) variance the applicant must show that the proposed variance advances the
purposes of municipal land use law and that the benefits of the deviation would
substantially outweigh any detriments. The applicant should address how the
proposed variance will substantially impair the intent of the Master Plan or zoning plan
and whether there are any potential impacts to the public good.
Use Variance:
1c. The applicant is proposing a density of six (6) dwelling units per acre where a maximum
of three (3) dwelling units per acre is permitted. A D(5) variance is required.
2c. The applicant should address the following items for the Board to evaluate the impact of
the proposed application on the neighboring properties and the Township:
a. Compatibility of the proposed use with surrounding uses.
b. How the applicant proposes to minimize the impacts of the use variance.
3c. The applicant should address the following items for the Board to evaluate the impact of
the proposed application on the neighboring properties and the Township:
a. Confirm that the use will not harm or detract from the use and character of
neighboring properties.
b. Confirm that the property is suitable for the proposed use.
c. Testify as to how the use will serve the interests of the Township.
d. How the use will not adversely affect public utilities and services.
e. Confirm that the use will not adversely affect the drainage of the adjacent
neighborhood.
f. Confirm that the use will not adversely affect traffic and pedestrian safety.
Standard of Proof for "D" Variances:
For "D" variances it is the applicant's obligation to present the "Positive" and "Negative" criteria
to justify the variance. The applicant must prove to the satisfaction of the Board that there are
"special reasons" for the Board to exercise its jurisdiction to grant the requested relief,
demonstrating that the site is particularly suited to the proposed use and that the proposal will
advance the purposes of Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-2) and the Township's
Master Plan and Zoning ordinances (POSITIVE).
The applicant must also show that the variance can be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and that the variance will not substantially impair the intent of the Master Plan or zoning plan
and whether there are any potential impacts to the public good. We should provide testimony
demonstrating that the proposal will meet the variance criteria.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING:
1c. In accordance with $500-104, a 20% affordable housing set-aside is required when a
development consists of five or more new residential units at a density of greater than
five units per acre. As the Applicant is proposing five (5) residential units at a density
of six (6) units per acre, the following is required:
5 dwelling units x 20% = 1 affordable housing unit required
One (1) of the five (5) proposed townhouses is required to be an affordable housing unit
in accordance with Article X and §500-902.
LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING:
1c. In accordance with §500-512.C.(3), "Where an outdoor living space is included for a unit,
it shall be provided with adequate visual screening from all other neighboring dwelling
units, outdoor living space, parking areas and roadways. Screening may be
accompanied with plant materials. Masonry structures or wood fencing is a minimum of
four feet in height. Architectural elements, such as masonry walls and fences, shall be
compatible in both style and materials with the dwelling unit." The Applicant shall revise
the plans to show a year-round screen around the proposed patios.
2c. The applicant shall add deciduous shrubs to the basin plantings to provide year-round
visual interest.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
1c. In accordance with $500-407.G., each townhouse must have a minimum of 50 sf of
lockable storage in addition to closet storage in bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens.
Architectural floor plans have not been submitted with this application, as required,
consequently the applicant has not demonstrated compliance with this requirement.
2c. In accordance with §500-512.C.(2), "rooflines of at least 30% of the number of units,
which are attached in a structure, shall be staggered in height by not less than 5% of the
height of the rooflines of the remaining units in such structure. The roofline should be
discontinuous through the combination of two- and three-story townhomes and one-
story flats. Chimneys, skylights, dormers, and other roof structures are encouraged to
vary the elevation and provide additional light into upper story units." Architectural
elevations have not been submitted with this application, as required, thus the applicant
has not demonstrated compliance with this requirement.
3c. Building elevations and floor plans must be provided to verify conformance with the
architectural design, maximum permit height and storage requirements.
4c. The Applicant shall provide information as to how trash and recycling disposal and
storage will be handled.
APPROVAL PROCESS:
1c. If the Zoning Board grants final approval to this project, the following requirements are
applicable:
a. The applicant's engineer must make appropriate revisions to the final plan pursuant to
the Zoning Board action.
b. Ten (10) copies of the final plan should be submitted to the Community
Development and Planning Office for review, approval and signature.
c. An inspection escrow and performance bond is required for this project and an
estimate for all on/off site improvements (excluding structures) must be
reviewed and approved by the Township Engineer. The inspection escrow must
be posted prior to the issuance of any building permits.
d. The applicant must contact the Community Development and Planning Office to
secure any outstanding review escrow accounts prior to this office reviewing
revised plans or signing off on approved plans.
2c. The applicant shall obtain all required approvals from all outside agencies having
jurisdiction over the project.
If there are any questions or if any additional information is required please contact this office.

VARIANCES:
1k. Minimum Tract Size - §500-407.E.(1) The applicant is proposing a 0.825 tract
where a minimum of 10 acres is required. A variance is required.
2m. Minimum buildable land area of tract - §500-407.E.(2) The applicant is proposing a
0.825 acre buildable land area of tract where a minimum of 5 acres is required. A variance is
required.
3c. Minimum tract frontage - §500-407.E.(4) The applicant is proposing a 213.81 feet of
frontage where a minimum of 300 feet is required. A variance is required.
4c. Minimum street setback - §500-407.E.(5) The applicant is proposing a 3.4 foot setback
from the street where a minimum of 75 feet is required. A variance is required.
5c. Minimum setback of tract - §500-407.E.(5) The applicant is proposing a 24.4 foot
setback from lots 9, 10 and 11 where a minimum of 50 feet is required. A variance is required.
6c. Minimum buildable height - §500-407.F(1) The applicant is proposing a building height
of 37.2 feet where a maximum of 35 feet is required. A variance is required.
Standard of Proof for "C" Variances:
1c. The applicant must provide testimony to justify the requested variances. For a C(1)
variance, the applicant must demonstrate that the strict application of the zoning
regulations to the property create a hardship or result in exceptional practical difficulties
by reason of the exceptional shape or the property or the exceptional topographic
conditions uniquely affecting the property, or the structures lawfully existing upon the
property.
2c. For a C(2) variance the applicant must show that the proposed variance advances the
purposes of municipal land use law and that the benefits of the deviation would
substantially outweigh any detriments. The applicant should address how the
proposed variance will substantially impair the intent of the Master Plan or zoning plan
and whether there are any potential impacts to the public good.
Use Variance:
1c. The applicant is proposing a density of six (6) dwelling units per acre where a maximum
of three (3) dwelling units per acre is permitted. A D(5) variance is required.
2c. The applicant should address the following items for the Board to evaluate the impact of
the proposed application on the neighboring properties and the Township:
a. Compatibility of the proposed use with surrounding uses.
b. How the applicant proposes to minimize the impacts of the use variance.
3c. The applicant should address the following items for the Board to evaluate the impact of
the proposed application on the neighboring properties and the Township:
a. Confirm that the use will not harm or detract from the use and character of
neighboring properties.
b. Confirm that the property is suitable for the proposed use.
c. Testify as to how the use will serve the interests of the Township.
d. How the use will not adversely affect public utilities and services.
e. Confirm that the use will not adversely affect the drainage of the adjacent
neighborhood.
f. Confirm that the use will not adversely affect traffic and pedestrian safety.
Standard of Proof for "D" Variances:
For "D" variances it is the applicant's obligation to present the "Positive" and "Negative" criteria
to justify the variance. The applicant must prove to the satisfaction of the Board that there are
"special reasons" for the Board to exercise its jurisdiction to grant the requested relief,
demonstrating that the site is particularly suited to the proposed use and that the proposal will
advance the purposes of Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-2) and the Township's
Master Plan and Zoning ordinances (POSITIVE).
The applicant must also show that the variance can be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and that the variance will not substantially impair the intent of the Master Plan or zoning plan
and whether there are any potential impacts to the public good. We should provide testimony
demonstrating that the proposal will meet the variance criteria.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING:
1c. In accordance with $500-104, a 20% affordable housing set-aside is required when a
development consists of five or more new residential units at a density of greater than
five units per acre. As the Applicant is proposing five (5) residential units at a density
of six (6) units per acre, the following is required:
5 dwelling units x 20% = 1 affordable housing unit required
One (1) of the five (5) proposed townhouses is required to be an affordable housing unit
in accordance with Article X and §500-902.
LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING:
1c. In accordance with §500-512.C.(3), "Where an outdoor living space is included for a unit,
it shall be provided with adequate visual screening from all other neighboring dwelling
units, outdoor living space, parking areas and roadways. Screening may be
accompanied with plant materials. Masonry structures or wood fencing is a minimum of
four feet in height. Architectural elements, such as masonry walls and fences, shall be
compatible in both style and materials with the dwelling unit." The Applicant shall revise
the plans to show a year-round screen around the proposed patios.
2c. The applicant shall add deciduous shrubs to the basin plantings to provide year-round
visual interest.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
1c. In accordance with $500-407.G., each townhouse must have a minimum of 50 sf of
lockable storage in addition to closet storage in bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens.
Architectural floor plans have not been submitted with this application, as required,
consequently the applicant has not demonstrated compliance with this requirement.
2c. In accordance with §500-512.C.(2), "rooflines of at least 30% of the number of units,
which are attached in a structure, shall be staggered in height by not less than 5% of the
height of the rooflines of the remaining units in such structure. The roofline should be
discontinuous through the combination of two- and three-story townhomes and one-
story flats. Chimneys, skylights, dormers, and other roof structures are encouraged to
vary the elevation and provide additional light into upper story units." Architectural
elevations have not been submitted with this application, as required, thus the applicant
has not demonstrated compliance with this requirement.
3c. Building elevations and floor plans must be provided to verify conformance with the
architectural design, maximum permit height and storage requirements.
4c. The Applicant shall provide information as to how trash and recycling disposal and
storage will be handled.
APPROVAL PROCESS:
1c. If the Zoning Board grants final approval to this project, the following requirements are
applicable:
a. The applicant's engineer must make appropriate revisions to the final plan pursuant to
the Zoning Board action.
b. Ten (10) copies of the final plan should be submitted to the Community
Development and Planning Office for review, approval and signature.
c. An inspection escrow and performance bond is required for this project and an
estimate for all on/off site improvements (excluding structures) must be
reviewed and approved by the Township Engineer. The inspection escrow must
be posted prior to the issuance of any building permits.
d. The applicant must contact the Community Development and Planning Office to
secure any outstanding review escrow accounts prior to this office reviewing
revised plans or signing off on approved plans.
2c. The applicant shall obtain all required approvals from all outside agencies having
jurisdiction over the project.
If there are any questions or if any additional information is required please contact this office.

SITE PLAN REVIEW
Application #ZB-26-005-2120 & 2136 Sicklerville Road Block: 19502 Lot: 26/27
Plans as shown along with available information do not reveal any anticipated traffic problems.
Stop signs/traffic control signs as shown must be installed upon or prior to any occupancy.
Traffic control signs as shown are not enforcible by police unless properly included by
Municipal Ordinance made through application of the site owner under new Jersey 39:5-1.
Emergency contact numbers for site issues with twenty-four hour contact should be provided to Police
prior to start of construction.
Other - Any speed limit or "no parking" signs installed must be adopted by Municipal Ordinance in
order to be enforceable by police
Other - If parking capacity is reached there is no offsite parking permitted on Sicklerville Road. It is a
concern that vehicles would park here if the parking lot is filled. Please ensure that overflow parking is
addressed.
Other - Please reconfirm that all corners and roadway bends are evaluated for safe firetruck access and
movement. We recently encountered a similar issue in the Village Green Development, which required the
installation of GT Ordinance I.O:81-14 prohibiting parking at the bends. This measure, while necessary
for safety, resulted in reduced parking availability for residents.
Other - I recommend that this site plan be evaluated and reviewed by Camden County due to the level
of impact this project can have on Sicklerville Road and the levels of service.
Other - Please ensure the site layout provides adequate access and maneuverability for fire apparatus,
trash collection vehicles, and other emergency vehicles to safely enter and exit the site. Should provide
turning templates demonstrating that passenger vehicles, delivery vehicles, and emergency apparatus can
safely maneuver within the internal and circulation areas.
