Chairman Buechler stated that sheet two of four of the floor plans and elevations with a revision date of 6/22/15 was pre-marked as Exhibit A-3 for identification. Mr. Ercolano referred to Exhibit A-3 and detailed what is existing and what they are proposing. Mr. Winter asked Mr. Ercolano to discuss the variance table. Mr. Ercolano referred to Exhibit A-1 and detailed all of the variance being requested. Mr. Ercolano detailed the changes that were made to the original proposal that Omland Engineering recommended in a memo dated 6/10/15. Mr. Ercolano said that the Township’s Engineer also requested that the applicant provide landscaping in front of the existing chain link fence in front of the Wigwam Brook. He said that he disagrees because you cannot provide any type of landscape in that area and suggested that they replace the chain link fence only. Mr. Russo stated that the area Mr. Ercolano is talking about is Township property and the Town would like the applicant to confine all site improvements to their property only. Vice Chairman Neuer stated that this is not the applicant’s problem and they do not have to provide any landscaping or replace the chain link fence. He said that the Town does not want them using their property. Mr. Winter asked Mr. Ercolano if this site is adequate for this use; he replied yes. Mr. Winter asked Mr. Ercolano if the applicant is seeking any design waivers; he said they are requesting two design waivers. Mr. Ercolano referred to Exhibit A-2 and said that the four (4) parking spaces in the front of the building are going to remain. He said that they re-configured the direction of the five (5) parking spaces in the front of the site per Omland Engineering’s recommendation. Vice Chairman Neuer said that even though the four (4) parking spaces in front of the building was a prior use, he feels it should be a variance. Mr. Winter said that it is a pre-existing non-conforming use but he will amend the application and add the variance for the parking spaces. Mr. Ercolano said that they are also asking for a waiver for the lighting standards for the level of the foot candles. He said that the foot candles are a very high requirement by Town Ordinance and they would like to lower them. Mr. Bullock asked Mr. Russo if lowering the lights would be appropriate for this site; he replied yes. 13
