adjacent property owner for continued access. The Application included variance requests for parking, signage, and a number of other pre-existing site conditions. Peter T. Ricci, AIA, Arkitecture Pius, was sworn in, stated his credentials, and was accepted by the Board to be an expert in architecture. Mr. Ricci stated he and Mr. Marucci had worked together on the project from its beginning, he was familiar with the site plan. Referring to Exhibit A-1, Mr. Ricci described the existing conditions including an approximately 5,000 sq. ft. vacant building, and adjacent smaller building currently occupied by a restaurant. The larger ouilding would be entirely renovated - both interior and exterior. To the south of the property was a residential property, to the north was the Northfield Avenue/Valley Road downtown intersection; and to the rear of the property was a small triangular area to be developed for employee parking. The proposed renovations to the exterior storefront included eliminating the center entrance and creating two new entrances. The left side of the building for a Domino’s Pizza with seating; the right side for a future commercial use. Referring to Exhibit A-2, Mr. Ricci detailed the proposed floor plan for the Domino’s space including seating, counter area, cooking, preparation and refrigerator area, patron restroom, office space and employee restroom, and storage area; he noted the plans were conceptual and there might be minor changes. The existing rear door would be replaced with a man door; the front fagade renovation would include anodized aluminum storefront windows, new glass doors, a brick fagade and stucco finish. There would be a common area in the rear for deliveries; the grade would change for a ramp for ADA compliancy; and the utilities would be installed separately for the two spaces. In response to question from Mr. Gurland, Mr. Ricci stated that if a railing was required for the rear ramp, it would be code compliant. In response to question from Dr. Bagoff, Mr. Ricci said there would be maximum seating for twenty-five (25), and a maximum of seven (7) employees, two (2) in store at all times and up to five (5) drivers during peak; drivers would utilize the municipal parking lot across Valley Road.

Councilwoman McCartney read the WOPD Traffic memo from P/O Chris Jacksic #137, dated December 18, 2014; she said the issue had been discussed at Technical Review and was of concern to the Police Department. Mr. Wyciskala said the issue would be further discussed with Mr. Marucci; however, the Applicant would agree to comply with all noise and idling ordinances as a condition of approval. He said the Applicant anticipated two weekly deliveries of supplies from Domino’s and beverage deliveries approximately once every two weeks. Councilwoman McCartney said she was concerned of the ability of a garbage truck to fit behind the property to service the dumpster; Mr. Wyciskala said that Mr. Marucci would also address that issue. Referring to Exhibit A-3, Mr. Ricci indicated that the rear south side of the building currently had a painted masonry exterior and windows; the windows would be eliminated; the masonry would be cleaned up, sandblasted and repainted an off-white/cream color. The front facade would have two new storefronts including new insulated glass windows and anodized aluminum, signage, a reddish brown brick facade up to a point; the existing stucco finish would be removed and replaced with a masonry finish painted an off-white/cream color. Mr. Gurland asked if the new brick would be installed over the existing surface or would the existing surface first be removed; Mr. Ricci said he had not yet done a structural analysis of the front wall, however, he did not believe the bricks would adhere to the existing surface; he opined the surface
