A vacated Marlton swim club
is proposed for six homes.

A vacated swim club in Marlton is proposed to become six single family homes. The application, filed as P25-09 at 100 Lakeside Drive, asks Evesham Township's Planning Board for preliminary and final major subdivision approval. The agenda lists the present use of the site as a vacated swim club and the proposed use as single family residential, and it sits in the township's Regional Growth zone at Barton Run.

A second residential application is waiting on the same list. At 570 Elmwood Road North, in the low density zone, an applicant is asking for a minor subdivision, a minor site plan and bulk variances that together would create three new lots and two homes. The two applications are separate and their numbers do not combine.

Neither has been heard. Both were carried to the board's September 17 meeting, the Lakeside Drive one with new public notice required. That distinction is the whole status of both: an agenda proves a hearing is scheduled, and nothing about it decides anything. No vote, no resolution and no board action appears in the record for either.

Infill of this kind is where a good share of new homes in a built out town comes from. The land is already inside a neighborhood, already served, and it comes onto the market because a use that was there has closed. For anyone living near either site, September 17 is when it gets discussed in public. Nothing about who would build, what the homes would cost, or when work might start is on the record at this stage.

An agenda schedules a hearing and is not an approval. Neither application had been heard when this was written; both were carried to September 17. Written by Justin Kelly, NJ Real Estate Broker-Salesperson, from the Evesham Township Planning Board agenda.
