Ms. Carlucci had no comments, . Mr. Weston said the Applicant had been responsive to the Board; the plan was consistent with land- use law. He said he did have reservations regarding the left turn in to the southern entrance to the site, but overall the plan was acceptable, Mr. Gurland said the Applicant’s team had been amenable. He commented he was not a fan of the architectural design; and voiced concern there was a discrepancy regarding elevations and was wortied there would be a step; but otherwise he said he was very positive regarding the proposed plan. Mr. Klein said he was concerned about the left turn; he said that if there was a problem perhaps it could be monitored and re-addressed at a later date. Mr. Keller voiced concem regarding the legality of requiring a post-construction traffic study; he noted that Pleasant Valley Way was a County road and the County might impose additional restrictions. Mr. Weston questioned if would be safer to have the south driveway be a right-turn in, right-turn out only. Mr. Keller said it was not a simple question; should a restriction be imposed for a condition that occurred only occasionally. The signage should help with enforcement; and installing an island would not deter a motorist from making the left-hand turn, Mr. Keller advised the Board to remember it was a County road and the County might make restrictions. Chairman Bagoff polled the Board regarding restricting left-hand turn. The Board voted not to restrict the left-hand turn. Mr. Dwyer advised the Board that they could make a condition for a traffic study in a year. Conditions: 1.
