the club. Referring to Exhibit A-6, Mr. Jacques described the improvements to the pool building site including a new ADA accessible ramp; a re-built deck area, all exterior finishes would be upgraded to match the main clubhouse, a new mushroom splash pad play feature in the existing kiddie pool area, and a new sitting bar area with a covered trellis. Exhibit A-7 was a 3-D rendering of the proposed improvements to the pool area. In response to questions from Mr. Angowski, Mr. Jacques stated the entire area of improvement would total 4,279 square feet for additions. Mr. Jacques concluded his testimony. Chairman Bagoff asked the Board if they had questions for Mr. Jacques. Councilwoman McCartney asked for clarification regarding whether a new outside bar would be installed; Mr. Jacques stated yes, behind the fenced in area near the pool deck. Captain Keigher stated he had been on site today; he asked if the existing truck loading dock was to be moved. Mr. Jacques said no, it would remain in the same location, but the area decking would be extended with gates. Mr. Weston asked if the building height would be increased over its (current) highest point as a result of the proposed renovations. Mr. Jacques stated the renovations were approximately the same height as the existing roof. Regarding the overall mass of the building, Mr. Weston asked if the renovations represented less than 10% of the overall building. Mr. Jacques answered yes; there was not a significant built out. Mr. Weston asked if exterior lights were proposed around the building that would be visible. Mr. Jacques stated lighting was proposed just at the entrances. Mr. Angowski stated the Engineer would testify to the lighting. Mr. Eben stated the ramp that was being added was about 120 feet. He asked if a chairlift had been considered. Mr. Jacques said he would review the matter with his client. Mr. Eben stated the front renderings indicated trees where there currently were none. Mr. Angowski stated the trees in the rendering were for artistic value. Mr. Wegner asked if there were any structures, features or other changes indicated on the exhibits now being shown that were not in the plans previously distributed to the Board. Mr. Jacques stated to the best of his knowledge, nothing had been deleted from the original submissions. Mr. Wegner asked if any additional trees were to be removed other

sly distributed to the Board. Mr. Jacques stated to the best of his knowledge, nothing had been deleted from the original submissions. Mr. Wegner asked if any additional trees were to be removed other than from the original plan. Mr. Angowski said the Engineer discuss the tree plan; tree removal was not part of Mr. Jacque’s testimony. Referring to Exhibit A-2 (Sheet A1.0) Lower Level Floor Plan, Mr. Keller asked if Mr. Jacques previously stated that an ADA ramp improvement was being made there. Mr. Jacques said yes, it was an exterior ramp on the golf course side up to the deck. Mr. Keller referred to Sheet A1.1, he asked Mr. Jacques to clarify if it was the one that came up to the deck level outside the grill room (Sheet A1.1). Mr. Jacques confirmed it was the new ramp on the golf course side of the building. Chairman Bagoff asked Mr. Keller to give the Board a recapitulation of his review memo dated 8/31/17, and the Applicant's response (dated 9/4/17). Mr. Keller stated he had just yesterday received a copy of a response letter. Mr. Jacques stated drawings had been

updated yesterday. There was discussion that Exhibit A-8 would be considered for testimonial purposes only, the drawings reflected the proposed updates based on the response letter. Mr. Keller stated the drawings had been submitted tonight, he was not going to review them at this time for compliance. He said he would look at them to make sure they were sufficient to address the technical review comments. He listed the items in his 8/31/17 memo: Item #53 — The dumpster enclosure detail should be revised to include its width and footing information. Mr. Keller stated that the response letter dated 9/4/17 stated the service yard footings were graphically shown on drawing AO.1, however, Mr. Keller did not have a copy of the drawing. Mr. Jacques said the drawing should be identified as A1.0. Item #54 — The floor plans and elevations should indicate which building is being illustrated. Mr. Keller stated Item #54 had been addressed. Item #55 — The architectural plan should show roof leader drain locations to confirm coordination with the site plans. Roof discharge for the porte cocheres shall also be shown. Inverts for the roof drains should be shown on the utility plans. Mr. Keller said he would review the item. The site engineer would have to incorporate the item in to his plan. There should be testimony as to whether the drains are being discharged to the pavement or tied in to an inlet. Item #56 — Architectural plans should show materials and colors for proposed improvements. Mr. Keller stated there was testimony regarding this item, he said a note should be put on the final plans that the materials will be of a similar tone and esthetic as the existing materials. Chairman Bagoff asked the Public if they had questions for Mr. Jacques. Robert Daniel, Buckingham Road, asked if there was a Technical Review meeting on August 15, 2017. Mr. Grygiel stated the Site Plan Review Advisory Board met on that date and reviewed the application. In response to question from Mr. Daniel, Mr. Angowski stated that plans were submitted to the Planning Board on August 25, 2017. Mr. Daniel asked Mr. Angowski to confirm that Exhibit A-8 was three miniaturized drawings — A1.0, A1.1 and A3.1; Mr. Angowski stated Exhibit A-8 was submitted for testimonial purposes only, and not considered part of revised plans of the application. Mr. Angowski stated the plans were prepared on

A1.1 and A3.1; Mr. Angowski stated Exhibit A-8 was submitted for testimonial purposes only, and not considered part of revised plans of the application. Mr. Angowski stated the plans were prepared on September 4, 2017 as per Mr. Jacques testimony. Rosary Morelli, Ralph Road, asked why ADA upgrades just now being made to make the club. Mr. Dwyer stated the upgrades were required only when improvements were made to an existing structure. Mr. Angowski said it was a pre-existing, non-conforming condition; he explained that the law required that when renovations were proposed for older structures, plans must also include upgrading to ADA compliancy. She asked why a chair lift was not being considered instead of a ramp; Mr. Jacques stated he would review the option with the client. Joyce Rudin, 38 Woodlands Avenue, asked how many trees would be removed from the parking lot. Mr. Angowski said the applicant's engineer would answer the question. Mr.

Jacques said he did not know how many trees would be removed from the parking lot. Ms. Rudin asked why Mr. Jacques put trees in the rendering; was it because the applicant was doing environmental damage. Mr. Jacques stated it was just an artistic interpretation. She asked if Mr. Jacques took any other artistic liberties in the renderings; including fake trees in drawings. Mr. Jacques stated not that of he was aware. Chairman Bagoff announced a brief recess at approximately 8:55 P.M. He reconvened the meeting at approximately 9:08 P.M. Mr. Angowski called his next witness to the podium. Jeffrey Morris, PE, PP, Boswell Engineering, was sworn in, stated his credentials, and was accepted by the Board to be an expert witness in engineering and planning, licensed in the State of New Jersey. Referring to Exhibit A-9, Mr. Morris described the overall site plan. The proposed area of improvement was primarily the northern portion of the club off Eagle Rock Avenue. He stated Mr. Jacques had previously testified to the clubhouse and pool house improvements shown in dark brown. Additional improvements included the main parking lot, restriping of what he called the auxiliary parking lot, abandonment of the existing egress roadway, and a proposed egress roadway on to Eagle Rock Avenue. In response to question from Mr. Angowski, Mr. Morris said 250 parking spaces were proposed; 244 currently existed. Proposed parking lot improvements included making it more organized; current striping was not very organized. Vehicles would enter the lot from Laurel Avenue to the main dining area where there would be valet parking; or vehicles could access the new member only entrance area. The improved parking lot would have curbed landscaped islands at the end of each parking bay with trees and lighting. Improvements to the pool house would include a 1,200 square-foot pool deck and accessible ramp directly south of the pool house extending out over the grassy area along the north side of the pool, and reorganization the auxiliary parking lot near the pool area. Mr. Morris stated one of the primary tasks associated with the plan was to find an appropriate new area of egress from the club on to Eagle Rock Avenue. He stated in engineering terms the existing egress had a few problems; it was on a curve that limited sight visibility, it was downhill from a high point of a vertical curve,

on to Eagle Rock Avenue. He stated in engineering terms the existing egress had a few problems; it was on a curve that limited sight visibility, it was downhill from a high point of a vertical curve, and it was not opposite another roadway. He stated engineers preferred organizing streets that lined up. The proposed egress lined up to a straight portion of Eagle Rock Avenue, lined up high enough to see over crest of the vertical curve, and made the egress more perpendicular to the roadway thereby increasing site distance and increasing visibility. The proposed roadway maintained an 8.3% grade so as not to be excessive. Additional improvements included upgrades to gas and water utilities to the clubhouse for increased fire protection and affordable water, and the installation of a new fire pump along the northern area of the parking lot. In response to question from Mr. Angowski, Mr. Morris explained the proposed roadway change had been done for safety purposes; additionally, the new roadway would create better visibility for passing motorists on Eagle Rock Avenue. He stated the new egress had 9

been widened out to accommodate the turning radius for a fire-ladder truck, tractor-trailer or garbage truck without having to cross over the yellow line on Eagle Rock Avenue. He noted that a 30-ft box trucks was the typical delivery vehicle. Mr. Morris stated that with the building editions and proposed parking layouts the bulk requirements had been maintained for front yard and side yard coverage; total site disturbance for proposed improvements was 1.3 acres; with the removal of the existing driveway they would only be expanding the impervious coverage by 0.18 acres or 7,900 square feet. The current driveway surface would be milled, grinded, soil added and trees planted. In response to questions from Mr. Angowski; Mr. Morris stated the project would include the removal of sixty-nine trees total; forty-seven were beyond the 75-feet set back. nine trees would be removed from the pool deck area for the purpose of extending the deck; he noted those trees would be exempt from the 75-feet setback. four trees would be removed from within the parking area, two trees would be removed from where main porte cochere would be extended, four trees from the vicinity of the trash compactor, and the remaining fifty trees would be removed as part of the new egress road. Mr. Angowski advised the Board he had been in contact with the Township Forester and the Applicant had agreed to work with him regarding the removal of those trees as a condition of approval. Mr. Angowski stated the Township Forester would have the opportunity to work with Crestmont on which trees would be removed. In response to Mr. Angowski’s question, Mr. Morris stated those trees to be removed within the 75-feet setback were because of their proximity to off-site utilities (NJ American Water & PSE&G), Eagle Rock Avenue, and the proposed driveway. In response to question from Mr. Angowski, Mr. Morris confirmed that Exhibit A-11 was the Site Plan submitted to the Board dated August 24, 2017. Referring to Sheet 10 of 17, Grading, Drainage and Landscaping Plan (Drawing No. 17- 126-GD-1), Mr. Morris described the proposed parking lot plan. End islands would be installed to break up the appearance of a “sea of asphalt”. The main and auxiliary areas of the parking lot would be optimized. The new driveway would create the need for storm water management; an underground detention system would be provided and

f asphalt”. The main and auxiliary areas of the parking lot would be optimized. The new driveway would create the need for storm water management; an underground detention system would be provided and had been submitted to the County for review. Limited, more organized 14-foot pole lighting improvements were proposed for the parking lot. Referring to Sheet 13 of 17, Lighting Plan, (Drawing No. 17-126-LT), Mr. Morris indicated the foot candle 2 % feet off the ground concrete that addressed Mr. Keller's memo of August 31, 2017. Mr. Morris discussed the proposed lighting near the pool deck area; he stated the lighting would not impact any neighbors. Referring to Sheet 14 of 17, Overall Site Utility Plan, (Drawing No. 17-126-SU), Mr. Morris stated the Applicant was proposing a fire and water connection to Eagle Rock Avenue. He discussed the connection to the proposed pump house; he stated the plans for the pump house had already been submitted the Township Fire Official and NJ American Water. Mr. Morris stated the site generally sloped from southwest to northeast, but there were two areas that had relatively steeper slopes. He stated those two areas were not natural slopes; one was the right of way line at Eagle Rock Avenue which seemed to have a man- 10

made berm. Additionally, along the northeast side of the parking lot there was an artificial steep slope that was probably the result of the cutting of the auxiliary area of the lot. In response to question from Mr. Angowski, Mr. Morris stated the construction of the new driveway would be intercepting those two slopes; the new slope of the driveway would be 8.3%. Referencing his memorandum dated August 31, 2017, Mr. Keller asked Mr. Morris what was the reason the water and gas lines did not follow the new roadway and cut through the new retaining wall and up the slope. Mr. Morris answered that originally, the plan was to keep the lines in their original trenches, and the issue was still being discussed. Mr. Keller said it would reduce the number of trees to be removed. Mr. Angowski stated the Applicant would be willing to consider the matter and potentially save seven to ten trees. Regarding his testimony on steep slopes, Mr. Keller advised Mr. Morris that Township ordinance made no differentiation between man-made slopes and natural slopes. He advised Mr. Morris the Board still needed a steep slope map to identify where the steep slopes were located and were there disturbances in excess of 25%, and secondly, were any trees being removed on slopes greater than 15%, both which would trigger variances. Mr. Keller stated he had spoken with Mr. Linson (Township Forester) this date; he would be issuing a memo to the Board. The Tree Removal Ordinance required identification of major and minor trees as they related to ones within 75-feet of the property line. Mr. Morris stated there were a total of sixty-nine trees being removed, twenty-two trees were within the 75- feet. Mr. Keller asked if the sixty-nine trees total included those within the retaining wall geogrid/excavation area in compliance with OSHA requirements. Mr. Morris answered in the affirmative. Referring to Exhibit A-9, Mr. Keller stated one of the goals was to add landscaping and improve circulation. He stated he still had concern about the area of main porte cochere service corridor and then the big, open paved area. He asked if the Applicant had explored some additional modifications to better define travel paths, circulation and additional landscaping. Mr. Morris stated he and the applicant had reviewed the issue; one of the problems was maneuverability of trucks. Mr. Keller suggested the area

ne travel paths, circulation and additional landscaping. Mr. Morris stated he and the applicant had reviewed the issue; one of the problems was maneuverability of trucks. Mr. Keller suggested the area be better defined. Mr. Keller stated in the eastern most parking isle there was an existing tree surrounded by paving. It might be more viable with some deep root feeding and expanding the size of its island; he suggested the club consult its arborist. Mr. Morris stated it appeared the tree was listed for removal but he agreed to look in to the matter to try to save it. Mr. Keller stated there was also utility pole in that area; he stated the circulation plan should show clarity as to how to drive. He suggested looking at the auxiliary parking area for further enhancements to reduce the pavement area; he noted there were there were some code issues near the maintenance building. Mr. Keller stated that Mr. Morris testified that he would mill out the existing driveway and put back topsoil; he asked what was the plan for the remainder of the parking lot. Mr. Morris stated there would be some milling; he stated he would have to look at the edges; the way the lot was currently graded was a problem. He did not know how much asphalt was in the lot; some of the grids would have to be revised. Mr. Keller stated that could be a condition 11
