Mr. Williams stated that testifying at this meeting tonight will be Mark Marion, architect for the applicant, Brian Conway, landscape architect, and David Kruger, environmental specialist. Mark Marion approached the podium. Chairman Neuer stated that Mr. Marion will be continuing under oath from the January 28, 2016 meeting. Mr. Williams stated that Mr. Marion testified at the January 28, 2016 meeting and asked Mr. Marion to refer to Exhibit A-9 and detail it. Mr. Marion referred to Exhibit A-9 and stated that it is a colored rendering of a project that he did in Morristown, New Jersey that is called James Place. He said basically the townhouses being proposed are exactly like the ones in the Exhibit with some minor differences in the brick facade. Mr. Marion said that this rendering gives a good feeling of how the Ridge Road project is going to be. Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Marion if the colored rendering is a photograph; he said no it is an artist rendering and is identical to the townhouses they are presenting. Chairman Neuer addressed Mr. Marion and said that at the last meeting he stated that the rendering was not identical but was very close to what is being proposed. Mr. Marion stated that there are only minor variations of what is being proposed. Chairman Neuer advised Mr. Williams that Exhibit A-9 will not be entered into evidence because this is an artist rendering of a project that is not before the Board. Mr. Williams stated that they just wanted to give the Board an idea of what the proposed townhouses looked like from the outside. Mr. Marion referred to drawing A-1 of Exhibit A-4 and detailed all of the floor plans of the units stating that they will all be two story with attics and basements. He said that the buildings on the end have garages with the entrance ways facing the sides and the two middle units have garages with an entrance ways facing the front.
