Mr. Staigar stated there are no signs that disallows left turns into the site and explained that double yellow lines indicate no passing. It is legal to make a left turn across solid double yellow lines. Mr. Benzvi stated that in his report Mr. Staigar wrote that the amount of parking provided meets the Township Ordinance but Mr. Petry testified that they are required 78 spaces not 48. Mr. Staigar replied there is a variance and we do not meet the requirements of the specific technical requirements of the Ordinance because the Ordinance requires the calculation based on the entire floor area. So it is an error on his part. Chairman Buechler stated before he excuse Mr.Staigar if Mr. Keller could look at his November 17, 2014 memorandum to the Board item 38. The original report recommended a seven to ten day continuous traffic count. Based on the information Mr. Staigar provided was the need for the continuous traffic count retracted. Mr. Keller replied that it was. Chairman Buechler excused Me. Staigar and called for a 10 minute break. (The Board recessed from 10:02 p.m. to 10:12 p.m.) Chairman Buechler announced that they were back on record and asked Mr. Williams if his next witness was the architect. Mr. Williams called Drazen Cackovic to the podium where he was sworn under oath. Chairman Buechler stated that he previously testified on September 18, 2014 and was qualified by the Board as an architect. Mr. Williams asked Mr. Cackovic that since the last meeting here on February 19, 2015 we revised the plans at the request of the neighbors and comments from the Board and he submitted a new A-100 which is marked A-16 for the record and amended through April 30, 2015. Mr. Cackovic responded that this was correct. Mr. Williams asked Mr. Cackovic to highlight for the Board the changes that were made to the temple floor plans. Mr. Cackovic stated that the main changes included the addition of the mediation room that was moved from the caretaker’s cottage to the temple building and the reduction of the size of the lower level story. He pointed out to the Board that there was much less of the lower level that is exposed. Mr. Cackovic continued that there are three major changes that have been made to the building, in addition to revising the exterior design and changing the materials. 19
