Brick Township’s “Village Zone” ordinance has drawn the interest of a property owner seeking to develop a small parcel of land off Drum Point Road under the terms of the ordinance, which was designed to spur mixed-use development on several of the township’s older corridors.

The owner, Huppert Avenue LLC, is seeking to build a mixed-use office building and residence at the property which carries the postal address of 299 Huppert Drive, located along Drum Point and Huppert. According to a filing with the planning board, the developer is seeking to construct a multiuse building consisting of first floor office space and a second story residential unit. Ancillary improvements include a proposed parking lot, lighting, landscaping and porous pavement for stormwater management, the filing said.

The application seeks variance relief on a number of fronts, including permission to have a 5-foot buffer against a neighboring residential use, where 25-feet is normally required. The proposal calls for four parking spaces where five are normally required, necessitating another variance, while a third asks for permission to place a driveway less than 100-feet from the Huppert-Drum Point intersection. Minor waivers are requested for the positioning of recycling bins and the design of parking stalls.
