Mr. Marinelli stated that from a storm water management perspective there has been a small increase in the impervious coverage although storm water management is not required.

Mr. Marinelli detailed all of the variances being requested for this project; lot area, front yard setback, accessory structure setback, side yard setback, rear yard setback, lot coverage and parking spaces, Chairman Neuer asked how close to the nearest entrance of the building the new parking spaces to the north are located; he said approximately 160 feet. Chairman Neuer asked if the access to the building in the rear is limited to employees; he replied yes. Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Marinelli if the parking in the rear of the building will be designated for employees only; he said it is not currently designated for employees only but they could designate it. Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Marinelli if a visitor or resident of the facility parked in the rear parking lot how far would they have to walk to get to an entrance; he said they would have to go around the building. Ms. Weiss asked Mr. Marinelli if they could stripe the southerly parking area; he said that they are making improvements to the southerly parking area. Mr. Marinelli stated that the applicant is providing additional sidewalk along Northfield Avenue; he said that it was part of the 2013 application that was approved and they are incorporating it into this application. Mr. Schwartzbaum asked Mr. Marinelli if they are withdrawing the 2013 application; Mr. Williams stated that this application supersedes the 2013 application. He said that the addition they were approved for in 2013 was never built. Mr. Marinelli stated that there is also a variance required for a parking setback in the front and side yard. Mr. Marinelli stated that there are two temporary storage units in the rear of the building and the applicant is asking if they can maintain them until the addition is completed. He said that the Township allows one temporary storage unit and there are currently two. Mr. Marinelli said that the applicant is seeking relief from having to plant trees in the parking area. He said that the need for more parking is more important than the trees. 10
