Mr. Albanese said that their Sparta, New Jersey store is 4500 square fect and this store is 5496 square feet. Mr. Steig asked Mr. Albanese if they were to build a smaller store on this site would it require less variances; he said he is not sure but their Planner will answer that question. Mr. Neuer asked Mr. Albanese if they deliver the fuel at night; he said he could arrange the times of delivery for the fuel. Mr. Neuer asked Mr, Albanese if the tractor trailer food deliveries could be delivered at night also; he said they could arrange that also. Mr. Neuer asked Mr. Albanese if they would accept that as a condition of approval; he replied yes. Troy Dorch approached the podium and stated that he lived at 228 St. Cloud Avenue. He asked Mr. Albanese how many gas pumps they are proposing; he said cight (8) gas pumps and sixteen (16) fueling positions. Mr. Dorch asked Mr. Albanese if the fuel pumps will be in the front of the store; he replied yes. Mr. Dorch asked Mr. Albanese if they have done a study of the traffic impact; he said that their Traffic Engineer will address that question. Mr. Dorch asked Mr. Albanese if they have done a study of the crime levels; he replied no. Mr. Albanese said they have a great camera system and there are always people watching the cameras. Mr. Dorch asked Mr, Albanese if he have any crime studies for any of the twenty seven (27) Quick Chek stores; he said he does not have any crime studies and he has never heard about them. He said that if anything does happen they have a great security system. Mr. Neuer asked Mr. Albanese if he has a statistical analysis of crime for the stores; he said no but he can get back to the Board with that answer. Mr. Neuer advised Ms. Porter that Mr. Albanese must provide the Board with statistics of crimes at the New Jersey stores for the past three years. Chairwoman Gabry asked Mr. Albanese if there is someone who watches the cameras; he said no one specifically watches the cameras non-stop. Mr. Sussman suggested that Mr. Albanese provide the Board with statistics of crimes at the New Jersey stores for the past five years; not three years. He agreed.
