Chairman Bagoff inquired if Mr. Del Vecchio and Mr. Dwyer had confirmed the architectural acceptability of the Applicant’s architectural firm, Harrison French & Associates. Mr. Dwyer said it was matter of credibility; did the Board give weight to the plans. Mr. Del Vecchio said the testifying architect, Thomas Heigle, AIA, was licensed in New Jersey, and two of the three principals with the firm Harrison French & Associates were licensed in the State of New Jersey. Mr. Eben stated that there were certain procedures required from an architect licensed in the State of New Jersey; the Applicant’s submitted plans did not have the proper title block required in the State of New Jersey; he advised Mr. Del Vecchio to have his client check with the New Jersey State Board of Architects. Chairman Bagoff stated that the Board would accept the Applicant’s architect. Mr. Del Vecchio said that Gregory J.

Mr. Polyniak testified that the proposed building had been moved south and east to the property, it was not centered as originally planned. The loading area and dumpster area had also been flipped. Mr. Polyniak noted that the changes would now affect the visibility for drivers coming upon the site; however, the revised plan honors the 75 ft. setback. The new design made the small retaining wall much diminished; there would no longer be a need for a wing-wall design. Mr. Polyniak said the revised plan addressed many comments made by the Township professionals and the Board. The revised landscaping plan would exceed Township requirements; the maximum lot the number of parking spaces had been reduced to seventeen (17) from nineteen (19). Mr. Polyniak confirmed that the revised plans were accurate; he stated he had supervised all revisions.

Item #5: Mr. Polyniak said the width of the parking spaces would be revised to 9 ft., there would be an increase to the buffering space and reduce the impervious coverage. Item #17: Omland Memo noted discrepancy between elevations on site plans and architectural plans; Mr. Polyniak said the architectural plans would be amended to reflect correct elevations, Mr. Eben asked Mr. Polyniak from what direction would tractor trailers be making deliveries; Mr. Polyniak said the track access would probably be from north off of Route 280, traveling south on Pleasant Valley Way. Mr. Eben inquired as to the height of the proposed retaining wall, would it have a railing; and if the proposed Juniper plantings at the base of the retaining wall would be destroyed by snow plowing. Mr. Polyniak said the wall height was 4 % ft., without a railing; additionally it was his opinion that the owner would not want to see a dead area at the base of the wall. Ifplantings were damaged, they would be replaced. Councilwoman McCartney asked if the driveway would be directed one-way. Mr. Del Vecchio answered that the driveway would have two-way traffic.
