Board opens hearings for 965-home project
After years of discussion, a formal application for 965 homes to be built by Hovbilt has come before the Planning Board seeking approval.
The age-restricted adult condominium community will be known as Jackson Valley.
Attorney Donald Daines, representing the applicant, provided an overview of the project during the board’s Sept. 11 meeting.
“This application began on Dec. 13, 1999 when Hovbilt entered into a settlement at that time,” he said. “Hovbilt maintained that it had a special use variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment for 2,500 units on the property.”

No housing in the development will be set aside to help Jackson meet its affordable housing obligation. All of the homes will be sold at market rates.

The parcel is about 651 acres and is north of the Cassville section and north of the Pinelands District in the Planned Retirement Community zone, and it is in the New Jersey State Planning Area PA-3, also known as the Fringe Planning Area. The area is characterized by small communities and freestanding developments.
