ordinance required reflectivity of 40% or greater. Mr. Gurland asked if it mattered whether the roof was flat or sloped; Mr. Dwyer said it did not matter in Hoboken. Chairman Weston suggested that the Board do further research on the threshold and wording of the ordinance and continue the discussion at an upcoming meeting. Mr. Eben stated he was in favor of the ordinance; however, he voiced concern regarding proper enforcement. DISCUSSION Rezoning Recommendations made as part of the 2010 Master Plan Update. Councilwoman McCartney addressed the Board; her business at 270 Pleasant Valley Way was ina multi-use building owned by Congregation Ohr Torah; it was in an O-R zone. The Congregation was considering renovations and had discussed the matter with her. She reviewed the most recent Zoning Map and remembered there were several recommendations for zoning changes to the 2010 Master Plan update, including one to change the northern end of Pleasant Valley Way, (Block 152.07, Lots 1 and 2), from O-R to B-1; however, it appeared the change were never made.

Northern End of Pleasant Valley Way It is recommended that lots currently located in the O-R zone in this area be placed in the B-1 zone. The properties currently located within the R-2 zone should remain within that district, with the exception of the Montclair Golf Club parcels, which are proposed to be placed in the R- 1 zone. East Side of Prospect Avenue Two lots currently located in the PURD Planned Unit Residential Development zone across from Essex Green shopping center are recommended to be placed in the B-2 General Business zone in recognition of their size, location and current uses. Chairman Weston suggested the recommendations be formalized and sent to Council; the discussion should be continued at an upcoming meeting. Mr. Grygiel advised the Board he had researched the
