additional parking spaces. Mr. Keller asked Mr. Conway to take another look at the foot candles because there are dark spots. Mr. Keller asked Mr. Conway if the color they are proposing for the LED lighting is appropriate for a residential development or is a warmer light more appropriate; he said he has no objection to a warmer light. Mr. Keller said this will not affect the illumination; it is only the color they are changing. There were no further questions from the Board Members of the Board Professionals. Chairman Neuer asked if any members of the public had any questions for Mr. Conway regarding the landscaping and lighting plan. Kevin Malanga approached the podium and stated that he lives at 45 Ridge Road and asked Mr. Conway if he said that three hundred twenty (320) trees on the site are going to remain and that three hundred seventy (370) trees will be planted; he said that three hundred seventy eight (378) will be planted. Mr. Malanga asked Mr. Conway how many square feet will the trees be planted in; he said he cannot answer how many square feet they will be planted in but it is shown on the landscape plan. Mr. Malanga asked Mr. Conway will the new trees interfere with planting them next to existing trees along the border; he said no they will not cause any harm to the existing trees when they are being planted. Mr. Conway said it will be difficult to do but it can be done. Mr. Malanga asked Mr. Conway if he tries to make the design of a lighting plan compatible with the neighborhood; he said that he tries to make it appropriate for the condition that he has to work with. Mr. Conway said that there are no lights on Ridge Road so he could not make it compatible. He said that he tried to provide a safe level of light. Mr. Malanga asked Mr. Conway if this lighting plan will provide vastly greater lighting then currently exists on Ridge Road; he said yes because there are no lights on Ridge Road. Vice Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Conway if they are proposing any lights on Ridge Road; he said there will be a light fixture on each entrance to the site but not on Ridge Road. Mr. Conway said there will be some spillage and will provide some lighting on Ridge Road. 22
