Hi Eric,
I've been following and having done some building in southern NJ I'm concerned you are not following the rules. None of my business but in NJ they are good at catching and penalizing people for failure to get permits and inspections.
In your case a cape style attic is a pain to achieve the code required improvements. It can be done, but expensive.
One approach is to fill the rafter cavities with rigid closed cell spray foam. Being closed cell eliminates the moisture issues that fiberglass insulation creates and why it needs the ventilation.
First question, have you submitted a plan and received approval and related permits?
Bud
