A-1 Photographs of the tennis courts (2) Ex. A-2 Aerial photograph of the tennis courts Scott Wlodychak testified that he has been the teaching pro at the Orange Lawn Tennis Club for the past 5 years and previously has coached elsewhere. He is applying to construct a seasonal bubble over tennis courts at the Crestmont Country Club. He stated that he had entered into a 20 year lease with the Club. The bubble would be 36’ high, have lighting which hangs from the roof, and would be stored during the off-season in a container on the Club grounds. The lighting would not be seen from the outside because the bubble would be opaque. The bubble would be constructed inside the existing fence surrounding the courts and would have a small 15’ x 20’ additional waiting/viewing area. There would be no music. Jan Ligas was sworn and testified he is with Arizon Structures which was contracted to construct the bubble. He noted the structure would be inflated to stay upright and there would be triple redundancy to keep it upright. The fan would meet decibel levels at the property line. He stated the structure was built to deflate slowly over a course of minutes in case of loss of power, and was lightweight therefore could be exited safely even upon full deflation. He stated the material was opaque, not translucent, and there would not be light glow. It is built to shed snow in winter. Applicant called Anthony Marucci, PE, PP who was sworn and qualified as an expert in both engineering and planning. He testified that the site consists of two lots resulting from a 2007 subdivision. He introduced photographs (Ex. A-1) showing a significant number of trees between the courts and the nearest residences. He stated the proposed bubble would not require any disturbance of the site except to temporarily dismantle a portion of the fence in order to bring the bubble onto the courts. He opined that it could be granted without detriment to the public good or substantial impairment of the zone plan and ordinance. Mr. Ligas was recalled and testified regarding the steps which would be taken during construction, namely, removal of a portion of the mesh of the fence in order to install a foundation and to make room
