the time of planting, the trees would be approximately 7-ft. to 8-ft. nursery stock. Mr. Gurland asked if the Eagle Ridge residents would be looking over the tops of the trees to the roof of the building; Mr. Sparone said yes, the view would be similar to the current conditions. Mr. Gurland stated that the view would not be similar because the building was currently one-story; he asked if the Applicant had considered locating the building on the south side and if there was any way it could be located on the south side; he stated that would eliminate the need to destroy the three large trees. Mr. Sparone said locating the building on the south side had been examined; but from an engineering perspective, the south side parking layout, site access, drainage, and steep slope considerations indicated the proposed plan provided the optimal layout. Mr. Weston said that at Technical Review, the point was made that the existing medical building would still be operating during the initial construction process. He said that if the new building moved to the south side of the property there would be no access to the current facility; the driveway would be blocked; essentially, it would be out of business during construction. Mr. Sparone said a consideration of the location of the building was to allow the existing building to operate during construction. Operations would be moved to the new building once it was completed and then the remainder of the project would be completed. Mr. Gurland opined that moving the building to the south would fit within the site and would not conflict with the existing building; Mr. Sparone said the issue would be the new building would be in the middle of the site and impede access to the property; Mr. Gurland suggested the access could be moved. Mr. Vena stated the location of the new building complied with the ordinances of the Township; Mr. Gurland opined there was another option. Mr. Vena said that denial of the Application due to the location of the building would not be sustainable. Mr. Weston said the soil erosion plan should indicate there be proper tree protection around the (existing) trees during construction; Mr. Sparone said the tree protection would be provided as per SCD (Soil Conservation District) requirements; he said there would be tree protection fencing. Mr. Weston inquired if the 24-ft. wide entrance apron was

id the tree protection would be provided as per SCD (Soil Conservation District) requirements; he said there would be tree protection fencing. Mr. Weston inquired if the 24-ft. wide entrance apron was sufficient; would a wider egress be a good idea. Mr. Sparone said 24-ft. was typical for a two-way access drive; the driveway met County requirements. Chairman Heller stated the proposed parking exceeded the requirements but there would be an increase in impervious coverage; he opined the two western parking spots on the island appeared to be located more in a drive isle than a parking isle; would it be better to close those spots and increase the landscaping. Mr. Sparone said he had discussed the parking with the business owner; it was decided the spaces would be necessary for the future development of the expanding medical operation and second story professional office space. Chairman Heller voiced concern that the spaces might affect access for an emergency ambulance and overall circulation. Mr. Sparone said a traffic engineer would be testifying and would be able to provide details regarding site circulation and safety. Dr. Bagoff asked for details regarding what the area of the 9-ft. strip along the front of the property would look like when the project was completed and who would maintain the area; were there any proposed ambulance parking spaces; what was the number of current employees; and had an emergency stand-by generator been discussed. Mr. Sparone said there would be sidewalk and grass on the 9-ft. strip and the owner would maintain the area; he was not aware of any proposed spaces for ambulance vehicles; and a generator was not part of the proposal. Mr. Vena advised that Dr. Bezozo could testify regarding the number of employees. Dr. Bezozo said there would be an emergency generator; Dr. Bagoff said it needed to be included in the site plan. Dr. Bezozo said there were currently four to six staff members on site at any one time. 8-6-14 Minutes
