Mr. Buechler stated that he would recommend that the approval of this application is contingent upon the Township going out and inspecting the inside of the walls to make sure the electrical is safe. He said that this is the applicants’ fault because they should have known that they needed a permit. Ms. Gabry suggested that the inspections are done before the work is done. Mr. Buechler said that he and Ms. Gabry are saying the same thing. He said that the applicant should have a contractor there to close the wall once the wall is opened for inspection. Chairman Neuer recommended that they reaffirm the approval of the variances with strict compliance and also require that the Township Engineer go through the issues raised by the applicants’ Engineer. The Chairman also said that he will require a condition that Mr. Singh does not do any of the work and that they hire a licensed Contractor because the Board is concerned about their safety. Chairman Neuer made a motion that the application for the approval of the variances, and not site plan approval, be granted subject to the following conditions: The Township Building Inspector is to perform the inspections to all of the systems in the building; the applicant’s Engineer will accompany the Township Engineer on the inspection; the applicant will retain the services of a licensed contractor and that there will not be a bedroom in the basement. Mr. Buechler said that he has concerns with the structural integrity and that a strict time period should be required to get the work done. He said that he would like to recommend, as a condition, that from the time the resolution is adopted at the April 18" meeting the applicant will have 90 days to get the work inspected by the Building Department and the Township Engineer. Mr. Buechler said that if there is a problem and this is not done in 90 days, the applicant must come back to this Board. He suggested that the applicant start looking for a licensed contractor now so that the work can be done in April. The Chairman stated that all exhibits introduced by the applicants are admitted into evidence. Ms. Gabry seconded the motion made by the Chairman. The vote was as follows: Buechler: Yes Steinhart: - Bullock: - Sussman: Yes Gabry: Yes Weiss: - Merktinger: Yes Chairman Neuer Yes Quentzel: Yes The Chairman noted for the record that Board Member Alice Weiss took
