Mr. Meola presented revised site plans with a revision date of 9/8/14. Chairman Buechler asked to have the ten (10) sheets of the revised site plans with a revision date of 9/8/14 marked as Exhibit A-7 for identification. Mr. Sullivan asked Mr. Meola to refer to Exhibit A-7 and point out the water line on the plans. Mr. Meola referred to page 4 of the site plans and pointed out where the water line is located. He said that they only need one water line going in but if they need a second line it will run along the first water line. Mr. Sullivan asked Mr. Meola to refer to the Omland Engineering technical review letter dated November 13, 2014 and address the security lighting being proposed. Mr. Meola referred to the lighting plan on sheet ten (1) of Exhibit A-7 and stated that they are proposing all LED lights and installing a motion sensor light that will go on if a tenant is outside or putting out the garbage. Mr. Sullivan referred to item #19 on the Omland Engineering review letter and stated that Mr. Keller felt that the motion sensor lighting would be distracting because the on and off lights could be very intrusive to the neighbors. He said that Mr. Keller is suggesting that the security LED lights operate at half the power after 10:00 pm. Mr. Neuer asked Mr. Keller what his decision is regarding the security lighting; he said they should reduce the LED light to half power at night instead of installing a motion sensor light. Mr. Sullivan referred to a memo from the Township’s Police Department dated September 2, 2014 regarding a lighting survey they conducted at the site, He said that the police noted in the survey that some fixtures that were not working needed to be repaired. Mr. Sullivan said that they survey also noted that there was a PSE&G light pole that was not lit. Mr. Meola said that if some of the lights are not working, they will fix them.
