Mr. Klein asked Mr. Kidd to give the height of the generator; Mr. Galacio answered it was approximately twelve feet tall; the whole point of the generator was to deal with a natural disaster. Moving the generator to the side would mean removing a line of mature trees. Councilwoman McCartney asked if it would be possible to screen the generator with a chain link fence and landscaping. Mr. Galacio said the Applicant would be willing to work with the Township on landscaping. Mr, Galacio concluded his testimony; he summarized the testimony presented for the Application and listed the variances requested: Section 25.7.1, Lot Coverage; 50% permitted; 66.4% existing; 66.7% proposed. Section 25-8.4(d), "If a property owner desire to exceed the six feet limitation, the property owner shall apply to the Planning Board for Technical Review. Application proposed an eleven feet fence. The Public Advocate and the Public had no comments regarding the Application. The Board deliberated on the Application. Mr. Eben opined the Application was a great use for the property; however, he did not believe the testimony of Mr. Kidd proved granting variance relief for the fence. Harvey Grossman, Public Advocate, requested to comment on the Application. He said he agreed with Mr. Eben regarding the fence. He opined the Applicant submit a fence and landscaping plan. Chairman Bagoff asked Mr. Dwyer if as a condition of Approval, the Resolution would indicate the time when fuel trucks could refuel; and time the generator could be tested. Mr. Heller recommended arborvitaes, (“Green Giants”), of eight to ten feet height be planted five feet on center to landscape and screen the fence. Mr. Gurland asked if it would be possible to have the generator be sunken in to a low-grade pit. Mr. Kidd answered that the manufacturer did not recommend lowering the generator; mainly because of maintenance and the possibility of flooding during heavy storms. He said that extensive grading would be required. Chairman Bagoff said that based on testimony, the generator would be required by the DCA. The testimony concluded that the proposed plan was the best solution; it would be screened; it would not be an issue visually. Conditions: 1.
