Mr. Buechler asked what type of truck makes the deliveries and Mr. Bogan stated they were box trucks. Mr. Buechler asked how many square feet the proposed patio would be. He said that the impervious coverage on the plan shows 47% and they are required to have 35% which means that it would require a variance. Mr. Williams stated that is incorrect, it would be 50%. He stated 35% is required for a conditional use and this is an existing non-conforming use. There was discussion regarding the difference between a conyprehensive personal care facility, which Mr. Williams stated Canterbury Village is, verses an assisted living facility. Ms. Borg stated that West Orange does not deal with the comprehensive personal care use. Chairman Neuer stated that they will view this application as an expansion of a prior non-conforming use. Mr. Buechler told Ms. Borg that there are gaps in the Township ordinance and they should look at these facilities as conforming or non-conforming uses. Ms. Borg stated that there is presently only one of these facilities in town. Mr. Bucchler stated that our ordinance doesn’t deal with this and that the Town Council or the Zoning Ordinance Review Committee should review and address this. Chairman, Neuer asked Mr. Bogan if the residents were not permitted to own cars. Mr. Bogan said that there are no residents who presently own cars but he’s not sure if they are allowed to. He then stated that the average age of a resident is 84 but he would suggest that Mr. Williams consider making that a condition. Mr. Bogan continued to describe the lighting plan. Ms. Borg stated that the light pole fixture that they are proposing is 16’ and she would like to see it lower. Mr. Williams stated that they will make it a condition to drop it to 14’, Mr, Buechler asked Mr. Bogan if any additional exterior lighting, along the new entrance, is being proposed. Mr. Bogan stated that there will be some wall mounted lighting at the entrance. Mr. Buechler asked if there would be any problems with drainage. Mr. Keller stated that there will not be any work done within [5 feet of the stream behind the building. Mr. Bogan stated that he had a FEMA map and Mr. Keller stated that he never received it.

er stated that he never received it. Mr. Keller stated that he wants to make sure that there will not be any environmental issues. Mt. Buechler asked Mr. Keller if he had reviewed what Mr. Bogan sent him in reply to his concerms and did he satisfy them. Mr. Keller replied that he did satisfy most of them. He referred to #2 of Mr. Bogan’s letter dated 9/22/11. Mr. Keller stated that he was concerned with the steeper slopes opposite the proposed new entrance. He said that if they move the curb line back, at that new entrance, it will make the slope worse. Mr. Keller also stated that it appears the slopes in this area are 20-25% and, in accordance with the Township’s slope ordinance, if they are disturbing the slopes over 25% they will require another variance. Mr. Bogan stated that the slopes were man-made and Mr. Keller stated that the ordinance doesn’t differentiate between man-made and pristine slopes. Mr. Bogan stated that they will perform a steep slope analysis and submit it to Mr. Keller. Mr. Keller reminded Mr.
