He said that he compiled a list of species and submitted it to the consultants and revised the plans to reflect the revisions. Mr. Sadlon referred to the landscape plan and stated that as the site was being constructed, some species that were chosen needed sandy soil which they do not have here on this site. He said that they needed plant material that are hardy because they would be exposed to wind and sun. Mr. Sadlon detailed what species of trees will be planted and delineated on the landscape plan where they will be planted. Mr. Williams referred to the Township’s Forester’s letter dated 6/16/16 and said that Mr. Linson approves what Mr. Sadlon is proposing.

Mr. Fiori stated that there were originally 1500 seats proposed in the grandstands; 900 on the home side and 600 on the visitor side. He said that the amended plan proposes 1476 seats which is 24 less. Mr. Fiori said that two toilets were added in the concession stand and no other changes were made to the original plan. Mr. Schwarzbaum asked Mr. Fiori if they are still proposing to use portable bathrooms; he said the original plans provided a space for them and nothing has changed. Mr. Sussman asked Mr. Fiori how many additional seats on the baseball field will there be; he said between the football field and the baseball field there are 109 additional seats over and above what was approved. There were no further questions for Mr. Fiori from the Board Members or the Board Professionals. There were no members of the public that had any questions for Mr. Fiori. Vice Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Stewart if, during the break, he checked to see if there were any other revisions to the plan that were not specified during testimony; he said yes and there were none other than what he identified and the sidewalks on either side of the grandstands. Vice Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Stewart if the applicant has complied with all of the conditions of the prior approval yet; he replied no. Mr. Williams called his next witness. Peter Steck approached the podium and was sworn under oath. He detailed his professional background as a professional planner licensed in the State of New Jersey. Chairman Neuer accepted Mr. Steck as an expert in professional planning. Mr. Steck referred to his report dated 6/3/16 and said that the applicant is proposing several modifications to its previously approved site plan. He stated that although recreational facilities do not meet the newer school conditional use setback and buffer standards, the applicant remains subject to the provisions of the prior adopted resolution and can be viewed as an expansion of a non-conforming use. 14

Mr. Steck asked the Board to look at this under the Sica standards as an inherently beneficial use and said that the four steps of the Sica standards have been satisfied. Vice Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Steck, as a professional planner, how you deal with an applicant who has done work without permission; Mr. Steck replied you do not punish them, you take them to court. Mr. Steck said that is a question for the enforcing agency and the Zoning Board is not an enforcing agency. There were no questions for Mr. Steck from the Board Members or the Board Professionals. Chairman Neuer asked if there were any members of the public who had any questions for Mr. Steck; there were none. Mr. Williams stated that this completes the applicant’s presentation. Vice Chairman Buechler stated that the Board would like Mr. Keller’s office to review all of the additional revisions. Chairman Neuer asked, by a show of hands, how many members of the public would like to comment; the Chairman stated that based upon the show of hands it appeared that public comment should take approximately one half hour to forty-five minutes. Chairman Neuer stated that due to the fact that the 11 PM ending time for all Zoning Board meetings, the Board will not vote on this application this evening for that reason and because documentation from Mr. Keller has to be submitted. He stated his opinion that any approval that would be given this evening would be susceptible to an appeal and that would delay the project even more. Chairman Neuer said that this application will be carried over to the July 21, 2016 regular Zoning Board meeting and that no further notice will be required. The meeting was adjourned by Chairman Neuer at 11:06 PM. Adopted: July 21, 2016 Ml Le. Dhol CZ ‘ose DeSena Zoning Board Secretary 15
