Show all pagesMr. Guzzo continued by saying that there was a suggestion at the last meeting, regarding using an alternate fixture, and referred to the lighting package and began describing the fixture. Chairman Never stated that the lighting plan, marked A-6, is for identification purposes only, Mr. Guzzo explained that the previous fixture in the plan was an LED fixture and this fixture is a similar LED fixture but more appropriate and pedestrian friendly. He stated that it is not the blue light that the typical LED has that Mr. Keller raised a concern about. Ms. Weiss asked Mr. Keller what his thoughts were about this new fixture. Mr. Keller stated that there are new advances with LED lighting and new designs, He continued by saying that the LED’s are very small and have much more flexibility to create a slimmer design. Mr. Keller said that the fixture that Mr. Guzzo is presenting tonight is like a Frisbee sitting on a pedestal which illuminates underneath. He said that it has the same full cut-off of the more traditional fixture but just doesn’t have the big lamp in it. Ms. Borg asked if they could see this light somewhere and Mr. Guzzo stated that he didn’t know because it’s a new fixture. He said that he would check to see if there are any installed somewhere or if he could get a sample. Mr, Page, engincer for the applicant, approached the podium and stated that they agreed to submit revised plans with whatever style fixture the experts choose. Chairman Neuer stated that if they approve this application it would be bascd on drawings that were submitted and reviewed, He said that all be wants is to see an alternate plan that eliminates the old fixture and shows the new one. Mr. Page stated that he thought it was at the Township’s Planner and Engineer’s discretion. Chairman Neuer stated that the Board cannot approve this without looking at a revised lighting plan. He told Mr. Page that he has to submit a revised lighting plan to the Board Secretary by Monday [1/14/11 so that she can distribute it to the Board members. Chairman Neuer also stafed that he can send it via email but will need two or three of the revised plans in hardcopy.

picture of a fixture that was included with the lighting packaged they presented. Mr. Guzzo stated that this was a suggestion of a fixture that would replace the floodlights on the building. Chairman Neuer stated that he thought that they would be removing the floodlights. Mr. Page stated that he testified that he would replace them with a similar wall mounted fixture that pointed downward. Mr. Keller stated that after the last meeting he drove by the school to look at the floodlights, He said that there are nine floodlights on different parts of the building at the roof line and all of them are pointed outwards toward the property lines and neighbors. Mr. Keller suggested that they remove all of the flood lights from the building because they create a glare. He also suggested that they replace them with building mounted fixtures. Chairman Neuer told Mr. Keller to meet with Mr. Page after the mecting to discuss placement. Mr, Guzzo presented the signage package. It was noted that this was pre-marked as Exhibit A-7and given to the Board secretary. The package included a combination of exterior elevations and displayed all of the sign dctaits. Mr. Guzzo detailed where all of the signs will be located and what type of lettering they would use for each sign. He stated that they are proposing individual stainless steel mounted letters on the building and individual stainless steel letters mounted on the existing wall at the Gregory & Northfield Ave. intersection. Ms. Borg questioned the white monument sign and asked what the material was on it. Mr. Guzzo stated it was aluminum. Ms. Borg asked how that would be with the sun reflecting on it.
