Mr. Lanzafama detailed the utilities on Ridge Road and Mt. Pleasant Avenue that are available. He said that there is adequate water supply and that Public Service confirmed that they can provide electricity and gas to the site. Mr. Lansafama said that there is also a sanitary sewer available through lot 27 that was constructed when the assisted living facility was constructed. He said that the Township signed off on the TWA application form and the Township Engineer would like them to extend this sanitary sewer and connect to it. Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Lanzafama if the sanitary sewer has adequate capacity for the proposed development; he said yes it does. Mr. Lanzafama presented a color version of sheet 4 of the site plans; Chairman Buechler asked to have the color version of sheet 4 of the site plans marked as Exhibit A-2 for identification.

Mr. Lanzafama detailed where the sidewalks will be located and the crosswalks. He said that the applicant is asking that they do not have to provide sidewalks on both sides of the road because of the low density of thirty six units, there is no need for that but they will provide more street trees and additional landscaping. Mr. Lanzafama said that the end townhouse units will have side entry garages and the middle units will have front entry garages. He said that where the buildings come together they did a shared driveway configuration to minimize the number of curb cuts.
