Chairman Buechler accepted Mr. Adelsohn as an expert in Engineering. Mr. Adelsohn presented Site Plans; Chairman Buechler asked to have the site plans marked as Exhibit A-1 for identification. Mr. Adetsohn referred to Exhibit A-1 stating that the Hutton Gardens was constructed in 1952 and that this project has never been before this Board before. He said that the property is located in an R-G garden apartment zone district but the Hutton Gardens is technically not a garden apartment because it does not meet the definition of the term according to the West Orange Land Use Regulations Ordinance. Mr. Adelsohn presented the survey of the property. Chairman Buechler asked to have the survey marked as Exhibit A-2 for identification.
