Sayreville Planning Board Meeting - 8/19/2026

The Sayreville Planning Board held a meeting on August 19, 2026, where they reviewed and approved two key site plan applications related to the Sarville Seapport Associates Urban Renewal project. The first application involved minor modifications to the Bass Pro building, including the addition of a small portico at the front entrance and the relocation of the boat storage area due to ongoing construction. The board discussed design waivers related to fencing, sidewalks, and lighting for the boat storage area, which is secured and not open to the public. The second application concerned the preliminary and final major site plan approval for the Victory Electrical Substation, which is critical for providing sufficient power to the development. The substation will be located in a remote corner of the site with temporary gravel access roads and security fencing. Design waivers were also granted for this project, including for pavement and sidewalks, given the temporary nature of the access and the site's construction status. Both applications were approved following board motions and roll call votes. The meeting also included updates on construction progress and discussions about future landscaping and security measures around the substation.
