But according to township Historic Preservation Officer Christine Lewandoski, that buffer is actually 200 feet wide, and it contains eight of the 15 new houses under the design presented to the Planning Board on Thursday.The buffer does not prohibit development within its bounds, but does mean that a review by the township's Historic Preservation Commission, which would act in an advisory capacity to the Planning Board, would be needed when the institute submits a formal application for the new houses, Ms. Lewandoski said.Review by the commission is optional, not mandatory, for concept reviews like the one presented to the board Thursday, but the institute chose not to undertake such a review, the historic preservation officer said.The property proposed for development is eligible to be listed on the state and national registers of historic places, said Ms. Lewandoski.The institute's application to develop the land could trigger a review by the state Historic Preservation Office.This does not necessarily mean development will be prohibited, but it could result in alterations to the institute's plans, Ms. Lewandoski said.The historic preservation officer said she has been told by the state Historic Preservation Office that part of the Battle of Princeton occurred on the contested property, which could hold archaeological remnants from the battle.
