Del Vecchio, Esq. Beattie Padovano, LLC, attorney representing the Applicant, 7-Eleven appeared before the Board. Mr. Del Vecchio advised the Board that the Application was for property located at 955 Pleasant Valley Way; he said the plans were similar in design to the plan formerly presented to the Board in April 2012 for a site located the other side of the Township, (516 Valley Road). Mr. Del Vecchio said the Pleasant Valley Way site was a little constrained because of the steep slope. The Applicant was proposing a twenty-four hour, seven days a week operation that would provide a benefit and convenience to the area. Gregory J. Polyniak, P.E., P.P., Neglia

cause of the steep slope. The Applicant was proposing a twenty-four hour, seven days a week operation that would provide a benefit and convenience to the area. Gregory J.

the site. Referring to Exhibit A-12, (Aerial Site Plan), Mr. Polyniak gave a brief overview of the site. Mr. Polyniak said the plan would maintain a seventy-five (75) fect buffer to residents located to the north and west of the property. The building would be set back on the property; the parking lot would accommodate nineteen (19) parking spaces with three (3) spaces for employees; a new walkway for pedestrians would be installed; and there would be a trash enclosure area on the northern side of the property. Asked by Mr. Del Vecchio about the existing building to the south of the property, Mr. Polyniak said the existing building created a visibility problem; however, the site would enjoy curb cuts to the north, center and west of the property. Mr. Polyniak said locating a building at the proposed site called for creative engineering. The grade from Pleasant Valley way to the property line was a fairly flat slope; going west there was a steep slope with overgrown brush. The proposed plan would create a slight disturbance to the rear of the property; there would be a drop-off of approximately thirty (30) feet. Part of the structure would be built in to the grade; the trench drain to the rear of the property would be re-routed. At the north end of the site, the dumpster would be compliant with code; however, the loading area would not meet size requirements, thus triggering a loading variance. Mr. Polyniak said the loading area would be located in the most optimal area so as not to disturb slope. Referring to Exhibit A-14 (Truck Template Plan), Mr. Polyniak discussed the type of vehicles to be used for deliveries and delivery times. Mr. Polyniak commented on Mr. Keller’s memo dated August 13, 2012 regarding width of drive isle along the front of the building, Mr. Keller noted that a twenty- four (24) feet drive isle was required; Mr. Polyniak said that to accommodate truck loading circulation through the site, a twenty-six (26) feet drive isle would be necessary. Mr. Polyniak discussed the lot coverage, location of parking spaces and walkway. The parking would be located along the front of the building; there would be a six (6) feet walkway. There was further testimony regarding monument signage to be located at the center of the property, and the directional signage. Mr. Polyniak testified that the plan for the storm- water drainage system would meet all
