Mr. Dipple referred to sheet C-05a of Exhibit A-6 and detailed the steep slopes plan. He said they are disturbing some of the steep slope area and there will be a little jump in the grade. Mr. Dipple said that a variance is required for that because it shows some disturbance. He said that there are some minor areas disturbed from prior development but no structures will be going on those areas. Mr. Dipple referred to sheet C-06 of Exhibit A-6 and detailed the landscaping plan. He said that he met with the Township Forester, John Linson, and he was satisfied with the plan proposed. Mr. Dipple said that Mr. Linson advised them on what species of trees to plant and detailed what trees they are planting. He said that Eric Keller also suggested some species of trees to plant and they will also incorporate those into the plan. Mr. Dipple referred to sheet C-07 of Exhibit A-6 and detailed the lighting plan. He stated that LED fixtures are being proposed and described the illumination of the parking area. Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Dipple how high the light poles will be; he said twenty (20) feet high. Mr. Dipple stated that the light poles will have a shield that throws to the front and not to the back. Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Dipple if the light poles were reduced by five (5) or six (6) feet how many light poles would you need; he said reducing the light poles to fifteen (15) feet is too low. Mr. Keller stated that dropping the light poles would mean you need more poles and twenty (20) foot light poles, in his opinion, is adequate for this area. There was a discussion between Mr. Dipple and Mr. Keller regarding the proposed lighting plan and Mr. Keller offered his suggested revisions to the proposal. Mr. Williams stated that the lighting plan will be subject to Mr. Keller’s approval. Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Dipple if the four (4) parallel parking spaces shown on the plan are on the property line; he replied yes. Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Dipple if there is a ten (10) foot buffer there; he said no. Mr. Dipple said that is an existing condition.
