would enter and exit now. She said that there were originally some concerns about a tractor trailer backing in. She said that they opened the aisle two feet to address this concern. Mr. Buechler asked Ms. Burke if there would be one delivery per day; Ms. Burke said there would be one delivery per week. Mr. Buechler asked Ms. Burke what time of day the deliveries would be made; Ms. Burke said that deliveries would be made during off peak hours and that the applicant can answer that question. Chairman Neuer said that, with this change, he does not see any conflict with the tractor trailer entering and hitting any vehicles like the first plan they presented. Mr. Buechler asked Ms. Burke if the tractor trailers could enter from the Woodhull Avenue driveway; Ms. Burke replied no. Mr. Buechler asked Ms. Burke if the Fire Department’s ladder truck is smaller than a tractor trailer; Ms. Burke replied yes. Ms. Burke said that Captain Dsurney of the West Orange Fire Department said that they would never bring a ladder truck around the building. Ms. Burke detailed where the tucks would come in and how they would maneuver. Chairman Neuer stated that he would like them to do a study of the traffic at the Exxon gas station on Prospect Avenue for a couple of days. He said that there needs to be some kind of effective control of traffic there. Mr. Keller stated that signage and pavement markers are ineffective to the driver that wants to make an illegal move. He said that, even with an island there, a driver can still make an illegal turn if they wanted to so so. Ms. Burke continued and stated that the line of cars, on the original plan, was removed where the tractor trailer will be backing in. Ms. Burke presented sheet VM-2 of the Compactor Roll-Off Maneuvering Plan dated 12/20/12.

Ms. Burke detailed the entrance and exit diagram where the service truck will enter to the compactor, load the compactor and take it away. Chairman Neuer asked Ms. Burke if the County will not allow a left hand turn out of that driveway on Prospect Avenue, will this still be doable. Ms. Burke said that the truck will be making a right hand turn out of the driveway towards Route 280. Mr. Buechler asked Ms. Burke if the compactor’s service

Mr. Buechler asked Ms. Burke if the compactor’s service truck could exit from the Woodhull Avenue driveway; Ms. Burke said no because it would be too sharp of a turn from that driveway. Mr. Buechler asked Ms. Burke how many times a week the cardboard truck comes; Ms. Burke said that she is not sure. Chairman Neuer suggested making the driveway on Woodhull Avenue wider so that the truck could exit from that driveway. Mr. Steinhart said that when the shopping center for the Team Capital bank is completed there is going to be a mess on Woodhull Avenue. He said that even though the exit from that shopping center is further south on Woodhull Avenue the cars will stack at the intersection. Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Williams to look into that.
