\n\"CarMax,<\/p>\n

CarMax and self-storage facility CubeSmart on Route 36, along with 145 age-restricted single-family homes off Monmouth Road, will replace the links at the Old Orchard Country Club.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At an upcoming meeting, the borough Planning Board is set to finalize its approval of a proposal by Surrey Equities LLC to redevelop the 18-hole golf course, a 136-acre plot that was designed by famed architect A.W. Tillinghast and opened in 1929.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The project culminates years of efforts to build on the property. More than 15 years ago, a proposal to build 700 homes and 535,000 square feet of retail disintegrated after opposition from Eatontown officials, as well as from neighboring Oceanport, West Long Branch and Monmouth County freeholders.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2013, Eatontown Ventures sought to purchase the property to build 175 age-restricted townhomes plus 450,000 square feet of commercial space on the Route 36 boundary. A second proposal was to build a 450,000-square-foot commercial complex on 60 acres of the property and preserve the remaining 75 acres. Those plans were denied because commercial uses are not permitted on the property.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The township\u2019s zoning rules only allowed 129 single-family homes or a golf course.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, the Borough Council approved new zoning to allow commercial development along Route 36 but would secure 100-foot buffer zones between existing residential homes that border the course and 145 new age-restricted single-family homes that a developer is planning to build.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Surrey Ventures, a contract purchaser, later filed a plan to build its project: 145 age-restricted single-family homes and an 8,316-square-foot clubhouse, a CarMax used car and truck sales and service facility, and a CubeSmart self-storage facility. A 35-acre parcel on the property will remain wooded and undeveloped as dedicated open space.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to documents filed in Borough Hall, the CarMax will be 7,694 square feet and include a 936-square-foot associated carwash, fuel dispenser and sales staging area. Currently, CarMax has stores in Edison, Green Brook, Maple Shade, Sicklerville and Wayne.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Plans call for a 33,780-square-foot three-story building for CubeSmart self-storage. It will have 101,340 square feet of floor space and 1,200 square feet of office space.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
