The Board requested Mr. Zimmerman explain the plan’s ratio of parking. Mr. Zimmerman referenced Director Borg’s report; the unit type mix and number of proposed bedrooms determined the parking demand. While the number of residential units had increased from the previous plan, the formula for calculating the parking requirements indicated fewer parking spaces were needed in the new plan. Under RSIS, the proposed unit type, mix and bedroom count calculated forty-four (44) less required spaces compared to the previous configuration. The Board asked Mr. Zimmerman to comment on the plan’s appeal to mass transportation. Mr. Zimmerman said the appeal would be in public buses and trains. There were no questions from the Public Advocate or Public for Mr. Zimmerman. Chairman Bagoff asked for comments on the Application from the Public Advocate. Mr. Grossman said he was concerned about traffic congestion on the Main Street corridor and the lack of a jitney service. He said the project should make provisions for mass transportation and suggested the Board request the Township engage a traffic engineer to conduct a study for traffic in the area; he also requested a jitney service for the area. There were no questions for Mr. Zimmerman from the Public Advocate or the Public. Testimony concluded. Chairman Bagoff asked for comments on the Application from the Public. Rosary Morelli, 22 Ralph Road. Councilman Joe Krakoviak, 20 Grandview Avenue. Chairman Bagoff thanked the Public Advocate and the Public for their questions and comments.
