Ms. Moore stated that at the last meeting Joseph Staigar, the applicant’s civil engineer, testified. She said that Mr. Staigar will address some questions at this meeting that were presented at the last meeting by the Board and Mr. Keller regarding the impact of the bus movements at the school driveway by the daycare driveway and the I.T-E. standards regarding the 24 hr. volume for a twenty (20) student daycare facility. Joseph Staigar approached the podium and continued his testimony under oath. He said that he prepared a letter dated February 1, 2017 and circulated it to the Board Members in response to the issues raised at the last meeting. Alan Ozarow, attorney for Robert Rosenfeld, asked Mr. Staigar for a copy of the letter dated February 2, 2017. Mr. Staigar complied. Mr. Staigar presented a photo of the Mt. Pleasant School driveway, marked as Exhibit A-4 for identification, which was taken from Google Maps that was attached to his letter dated February 2, 2017. Mr. Staigar referred to Exhibit A-4, detailing the superimposition of a school bus exiting the school driveway, and stated that the driveway centerlines have sufficient room to accommodate turns by the buses. He said there will be no impact on the school driveway from the daycare driveway and there will be no need to close the daycare driveway during the school peak hours. Mr. Staigar also explained the ITE’s 24 hour volume analysis of a 20 student daycare, as per his letter dated February 2, 2017. Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Keller if he was satisfied with Mr. Staigar’s testimony; he replied yes. Ms. Moore asked Mr. Staigar his opinion about a question raised at the last meeting regarding a parent utilizing the garage space; he said that this is impractical because the applicant will keep the garage closed for security and energy conservation reasons. Mr. Staigar said that the garage space will be utilized by staff only.
