The county filing describes a site plan for a school, a playground and four duplex buildings on about 6 acres along Edgecomb Avenue in Lakewood Township. The school would have about 9,742 square feet of non-residential space.
Township planning board records from 2014 to 2016 describe a very similar plan at 120 Edgecomb Avenue. It was a two-story school with a basement, four duplexes, and sports courts on a wooded, vacant site. The applicant in those records was a different school organization from the one on the 2024 filing, so the 2024 filing may be a revived or revised version of that plan. No source confirms this. No news coverage, opposition, or final approval status for the 2024 filing was found.
What it could mean nearby
- The older records said access would come from improving Parkview and Argyle Avenues and building two cul-de-sacs off Edgecomb Avenue.
- The earlier plan proposed 37 off-street parking spaces: 3 for the school and 34 for the duplexes.
- The four duplexes would add eight homes on a site that is currently wooded and vacant, according to the older records.
- A neighboring owner asked in 2016 that the school pay for paving, curb and sidewalk along its frontage.
Where it stands
The county shows a site plan filed on 2024-02-21. Records found online cover only the earlier version, so the current township decision is unconfirmed. Usually the planning board holds a public hearing, votes on the site plan, and then adopts a written resolution listing conditions.
