He opined that the removal of that portion of the Application changed the type of the Application from a Major to Minor Site Plan. There would be some brief testimony from Applicant’s architect, Wayne Jacques, in reply to comments based on revisions and from Applicant's engineer, Jeffrey Morris, Boswell Engineering, to testify on engineering and planning. Mr. Angowski stated the Applicant had initially proposed a new exit driveway; however, after receiving comments from the Board and Public, the Applicant determined to remove the proposed driveway from the plan. The Applicant was concerned about the environmental impact of tree removal and the Public comments stating the lack of a necessity for a new driveway. By removing the driveway, the Applicant would save many trees. The Applicant also conducted a safety analysis and believed the driveway safe as it currently existed; however, they still maintained the proposed driveway might have provided an optimization of egress from the property. The Applicant had also conducted an OPRA request to the Township for accident reports from the past five years and determined that no accidents had occurred within that period at the club’s current point of egress. The club would ensure the site triangle would be be clear so that vehicles exiting both left and right had a clear line of sight. Mr. Angowski called Wayne J. Jacques, AIA, JGA Architectural Design, to the podium to address the comments he had received from the Township professionals regarding his revised plans.

Chairman Bagoff asked the Board if they had any questions for Mr. Jacques. Mr. Eben stated there were approximately a half-dozen dumpsters on the site, he understood the plan referenced the main dumpster, but he wanted to know about all the other ones on the property. Mr. Angowski stated a representative of the club could answer the question. The Public Advocate had no questions for Mr. Jacques. Chairman Bagoff asked the Public if they had questions for Mr. Jacques. Robert Rashkes, 35 Oak Crest Road, stated (the Applicant) had performed a traffic study about accidents occurring at the existing exit driveway; he asked if the accident analysis also covered the entire perimeter of the property area from Eagle Rock Avenue to the club’s property line.
