Mr. Petry referred to SP-4 marked A-24 for the record which is the modified lighting plan. He proceeded to explain that the plan was modified to use LED lighting; fixtures would remain at 12 ft. mounting heights; bollard lights at 42 in. high, the light level at 36 in. will service the walkway to the rear of the building and will line the walkway that services the refuse area next to the caretaker’s house. Chairman Buechler asked if there were bollards on the front sidewalk coming from the parking lot to the front of the caretaker’s house. Mr. Petry replied that there is one bollard at the turn at the front of the caretaker’s house, there is lighting that’s proposed on the building that will be adequate as in any single family home. Chairman Buechler inquired if those bollards are on the plan. Mr. Petry stated that all the bollards have been incorporated on the plan and that the LED lights will provide a well-balanced parking lot lighting system. Mr. Petry referred to SP-5 marked A-25 for the record which is the landscape changes, many of which were discussed with the abutting neighbors. The number of trees that were proposed for removal have been significantly reduced. The Township Forester requested additional trees be removed along the common property lines between this lot. This can be done, however, according to his count there would be only 26 trees left to be maintained which would result in a variance. A variance will be requested this evening but it could be eliminated if the Forester would let one more tree remain. They have incorporated the evergreens that we have maintained in front which are a series of Blue Spruce, Norway Spruce and White Pine. This has been carried along the northwesterly and westerly property lines along an existing six foot high wall. The wall has been extended at the neighbor’s request down to the southwesterly property corner. There is a short landscape wall that runs along the southerly property line. At the request of the Forester we have incorporated in fill evergreen trees along and within that area. All of these are Blue Spruce and are being put in at a ten feet height which matches what has already been planted along the driveway and creates a significant buffer. In the rear portion of the property which is going to be a lawn area we have incorporated a series of Red Maples. When the foliage comes out it will

long the driveway and creates a significant buffer. In the rear portion of the property which is going to be a lawn area we have incorporated a series of Red Maples. When the foliage comes out it will create a stepped buffer for the residents in the rear. Chairman Buechler asked if a Fire Truck would have access to drive around the entirety of the building. Mr. Petry responded that there is not a fire lane around the building and doesn’t believe one is required. However there is fire truck access on two sides of the building. Chairman Buechler asked if a fire lane is required. Mr. Keller responded that his belief is that it is not. Chairman Buechler asked where the nearest fire hydrant was on site.
