DISCUSSION Antimo A. Del Vecchio, Esq. Beattie Padovano, LLC, attorney representing the Applicant, 7-Eleven appeared before the Board. Mr. Del Vecchio gave a brief recapitulation of the Application carried from the October 10, 2012 meeting. Mr. Del Vecchio advised the Board that Gregory J. Polyniak, P.E., P.P., Neglia Engineering Associates had been mid-way through his testimony and would be back on record to continue his testimony. Mr. Polyniak said 7-Eleven proposed to build a 3,010 square feet store on the lot located at 955 Pleasant Valley Way; the proposed site improvements included a nineteen space parking lot, a loading area, landscaping, lighting, utility improvements, and a storm water conveyance system. Mr. Polyniak described the proposed planter beds, trees and sod coverings. He said all planting would have a permanent irrigation system. Decorative planter beds would be located at the base of the proposed monument signage. There would be one tree planted for every ten parking spaces. Juniper plants were proposed for the area closest to the steep slope. Mr. Polyniak described the proposed lighting plan, which included a series of 17 ft. high poles with mounted LED area light with backlight control, decorative LED Goose Neck fixtures on the building structure and foot-candles near the pedestrian walkways and parking areas.

les with mounted LED area light with backlight control, decorative LED Goose Neck fixtures on the building structure and foot-candles near the pedestrian walkways and parking areas. The lighting would not affect any adjoining properties. Referring to Exhibit A-16 (Site Section), A-17 (Site Photos) and Exhibit A-15 (Site Rendering), Mr. Polyniak detailed the steep slope and issues related to grading. Mr. Polyniak said the western side and northern side of the property were fairly steep sloped. The proposal would require disturbing the slope areas; there would be a new retaining wall and the structure’s building wall would ensure slope stability and limited landscaping disturbance. The steep slope area disturbance would not be noticeable; there would be a seventy-five feet buffer depth to the west. Mr. Polyniak said he had visited the site today and could not see surrounding residences. The existing brush and tree canopies shielded the site from other residences.
