Mr. Petry answered the ordinance requires us to have 73 spaces total. He continued to explain the requirement of the parking ordinance regarding this application. Mr. Benzvi asked Mr. Petry about his previous testimony regarding moving the mediation room from the small building to the large building and the hours of operation. Mr. Petry confirmed for Mr. Benzvi that he previously testified that the small building would be operational at certain hours and the large building only on Thursdays. Mr. Benzvi said that if he recalls correctly the large building will be utilized every day. Mr. Petry agreed this was correct. Mr. Petry and Mr. Benzvi had a dialogue regarding the security lighting; trash disposal by the caretaker; elevation and placement of the extended concrete wall; water flow from the gutters Mr. Benzvi thanked Mr. Petry and the Board and left the podium. Chairman Buechler asked if there were any more question for Mr. Petry. Mr. Keller had one or two more questions for Mr. Petry. He asked if the existing evergreens on the Barton Drive property line affected the sight lines out of the driveway because they extend into the right-of-way. Mr. Petry replied that the traffic expert would testify about sight distance as well. He continued to state that they haven’t proposed to change or to remove them. He further stated that he did not believe that they affected the sight distance since they are behind a wall and you would have to get pass the wall to see. Mr. Keller suggested that if one or two of the trees affect the sight distance out of the driveway or out of the main driveway that they could be pulled back. Mr. Petry stated that they would have no issue with that. Seeing there were no further questions Chairman Buechler excused Mr. Petry. Mr. Williams called Mr. Joseph Staigar to the podium where he was sworn under oath. Mr. Williams asked Mr. Staigar what is your occupation which Mr. Staiger replied he was a professional civil engineer, licensed in the State of New Jersey. Chairman Buechler stated that they would accept Mr. Staigar’s expertise as a licensed traffic engineer since he has testified before this Board on numerous occasions. He continued to make it clear that the only report they had was Mr. Staiger’s revised report dated November 5, 2014. Mr. Staigar confirmed that was correct. 13
