Mr. Keller said that he is satisfied with this and that item #13 should be stricken from his 11/16/15 review memo. Mr. Schwarzbaum asked Mr. Dipple how long construction will take; he said up to six (6) to eight (8) months for complete construction. Mr. Dipple said that the site itself will not be exposed for that long. He said that they will install the drainage system first and the soil would only be exposed for two (2) to three (3) months. Mr. Keller stated that the key thing is that once the application is approved, his staff is out there inspecting. He said that drainage and runoff is paramount. Mr. Williams stated that they removed four of the employee parking spaces that were initially proposed but they would like to keep the four parallel parking spaces along the westerly property line. He said that they requested a parking variance but they do not need one. Mr. Williams said that they are proposing eighty five (85) parking spaces and they only need sixty one (61) parking spaces. He said that he would propose that they approve with the four parking spaces along the westerly property line but for the initial development, they will provide arborvitae and grass. Mr. Williams said that if they need the parking spaces in the future, they want them back and they will install grass and arborvitae along the property line as a buffer. Mr. Keller said that he has no problem with that; he said they have enough parking according to the Township Ordinance. He said that trees are inappropriate along the westerly property line and they should consult with Mr. Linson. Mr. DarConte asked Mr. Keller if storm water would pass over into the westerly section of the property line; he replied no. Mr. Keller said that the storm water would only go north and south. He said that the driveway pitches away from the diner and the water will flow towards the diner and not towards the neighbor’s property. Mr. Williams asked Mr. Keller if he had any further questions. Mr. Keller stated that they are proposing one handicap parking space in the front along with two westerly handicap parking spaces. He said that he would like to see one handicap parking space straight flush with a bollard. Mr. Keller asked Mr. Dipple if the applicant is proposing to install a ramp in the rear of the building for deliveries instead of the stairs; he said no. Mr. Dipple said the owner wants to

a bollard. Mr. Keller asked Mr. Dipple if the applicant is proposing to install a ramp in the rear of the building for deliveries instead of the stairs; he said no.

Ms. Gabry asked Mr. Dipple if the back door will be used for deliveries only; he replied yes. There were no further questions for Mr. Dipple from the Board Members, the Board Professionals or members of the public. Mr. Williams called his next witness.
