He stated he was asking on behalf of the citizens of West Orange; those present and those for religious reasons were not present and had sent emails to the Board asking for the meeting to be postponed. Mr. Dwyer asked Mr. Daniel if he understood the difficulty with the request. Mr. Daniel answered yes. Mr. Dwyer stated he had sent a response with an explanation to Mr. Daniel. Mr. Daniel stated he did not know if a response was sent. Mr. Daniels asked if the Board understood the difference between the Applicant's presentation on September 6, 2017 and what was presented tonight; in light of Mr. Keller's numerous questions, his memo of 9/29/17, the answer of 10/4/17, and all the back and forth tonight; was the Board is familiar with that (sic). Mr. Dwyer instructed Mr. Daniel to direct his question to the witness. Mr. Daniel asked if Mr. Morris had considered the recommendations found in the 2010 Township Master Plan Update regarding pedestrian access, specifically page 80 (sic), which referred to the fact that all new applications for development should include sidewalks along all the roadways. He stated the application did not include sidewalks on Eagle Rock Avenue and Laurel Avenue; he asked why the application did not include sidewalks. Mr. Angowski asked Mr. Daniel if he had a copy of the section of the Master Plan. Mr. Daniel answered no; he stated the Applicant should be familiar with the Master Plan before providing an Application. Chairman Bagoff stated the Master Plan was not the ordinance, it made suggestions; the Parking Ordinance was where that specific area regarding sidewalks was defined. Chairman Bagoff stated the question (sic) was, had the Applicant looked at the Parking Ordinance, understood it, and why did they decide not to install sidewalks. Mr. Morris stated they had looked at the ordinance and did not feel they were required to provide sidewalks in accordance to the ordinance. He stated if the Applicant were to provide sidewalks along their property on Laurel and Eagle Rock Avenues, it would probably create more impervious coverage that currently existed on the entire club property. It would also require the removal of approximately two dozen trees along Eagle Rock Avenue and even more along Laurel Avenue. Mr. Daniel asked

Chairman Bagoff stated the question was not related to land use; it was not relevant to the Board making a decision on the Application. He denied the question. Mr. Daniel asked why wasn’t the proposed line for gas and water utilities being run along the existing driveway. Mr. Morris stated it was only for water; the new line was a much shorter route and there would be less disturbance; trees would be avoided if possible. Mr. Daniel asked how many projects had Mr. Morris done where the water line deviated from the roadway. Chairman Bagoff stated the question was not relevant to the Application. Mr. Daniel asked how many employees traveled by public transportation to the club. Chairman Bagoff stated the question was not relevant to land use. Mr. Daniel asked why the club was asking for a variance from a landscape architect. Chairman Bagoff stated it was a waiver, he asked Mr. Angowski to respond. Mr. Angowski stated the waiver had been requested because they proffered the Board that as a professional engineer, the State statute qualified Mr. Morris. Mr. Daniel asked how pedestrians would walk to the club. Mr. Angowski stated pedestrians did not walk to the club. Mr. Morris stated it was a private club; members drove to the club. Mr. Daniel asked if the existing driveway would be resurfaced. Mr. Morris answered yes. Mr. Daniel stated he had seen that water runs off the property on to Eagle Rock Avenue after every rainstorm on to Eagle Rock Avenue; and in during the winter thaw and freeze cycle when there was snow on the ground, that creates a hazardous icing condition along the southern eastbound curve of Eagle Rock Avenue.
