Mr. Eben inquired as to how it was determined that the renovation was over $100,000; he said the reason for asking was his concern that by going before the Technical Review Committee, the Applicant had to delay the process of renovation; thus delaying the opening of a business with a beneficial use to the community. Chairman Bagoff said the inquiry should be directed to Zoning Official, Geniece Gary-Adams. Chairman Bagoff called for a vote on the Resolution. The Board voted on the Resolution as follows: Motion: Chairman Bagoff Second: Vice Chairman Heller Carlucci: Y Eben: Y Ghebremicael: - Gurland: Y Heller: Y Klein: Y Lester: - McCartney: Y Weston: - Wilkes II: - Bagoff: Y PB-12-33T/Jewish Community Center of MetroWest, Inc. Block: 165; Lot: 15; Zone: R-2 760 Northfield Avenue Technical Site Plan for interior renovations to spinning room, multi-purpose room and hallway finishes. DISCUSSION Chairman Bagoff advised the Board that the Technical Review Commitiee at its last meeting approved the Technical Review Application. He asked the Secretary to read the conditions of the Approval. The conditions were as follows: 1. An egress plan during construction shall be submitted and approved by the Building Department; 2. All necessary structures in the renovation area shall be fire rated as there are no sprinklers in the part of the property; 3. The Applicant shall renew its municipal massage license and all practitioners of massage employed by the Applicant shall be likewise registered with the municipality in conformity with the municipal ordinance concerning massage; 4. The Committee and Applicant agreed their mutual preference for elevator service to provide access to this level for people with disabilities although such service is not required at this time by applicable law. Mr. Eben voiced concern regarding the Application being heard by the Technical Review Committee. He did not believe the renovation was for an amount over $100,000.00. He opined that other than the Applicant stating the dollar amount verbally to the Zoning Official, there was currently no other way to determine the cost of renovations. Mr. Eben suggested that the Technical Review Application might be amended to include the total amount of renovations be provided by the Applicant in writing. Chairman Bagoff called for a vote on the Resolution. ACAPLANNING, BRD\WP\MINUTES\201
