Show all pageswhen the overall project was undertaken. Mr. Petry stated the actual square footage of the completed medical building was 104,817 square feet, about 1,000 square feet less than approved by the Board. He stated that as of December 2017, he could confirm on-site striping of 457 parking spaces. He stated the 22 spaces shown on the original plan had never been constructed because the property owner and Township had not deemed them necessary. He stated there had been a condition in the original resolution that the Township could do on-site inspection every year and require those spaces be built-out at any time. In reply to question from Mr. Williams, Mr. Petry confirmed he had conducted a traffic study (submitted as part of application package). The first part of the study included visiting the site to confirm the on-site parking conditions; count the number parking spaces and confirm the configuration and number of existing parking spaces were broken down in a series of lots that made sense for the site; a two day parking study was then conducted, (12/19/17 and 1/11/18). The weather conditions were sunny; the study times were performed every 30 minutes between the hours of 8:30 A.M. and 4:30 P.M. The facility occupancy was 86,391 square feet (82.4%); there was still vacant space in the building. He stated the parking counts found approximately 200 vehicles parked at any time between 10 A.M. and 3 P.M.; the highest parking count was 213 vehicles on 1/11/18 at 11:30 A.M., representing 48% of the on-site parking stalls. He stated that number accounted for approximately one space for every 399 square feet of medical office space. Referring to Exhibit A-3, Mr. Petry gave a brief recapitulation of the parking requirements (of the Redevelopment Plan) based on the number of professionals, employees and exam rooms. Mr. Petry described the proposed expansion. Referring to Exhibit A-2, he identified Unit 1-A, an unoccupied space historically used for storage. The space had direct access off the first walk-in lobby and access off of parking lot “E”; it was first floor unoccupied space; it was not counted in the original (site plan application) 105,000 square feet. The Applicant was now requesting to convert the unused interior space within the building (Unit A-1); the two existing structures on Mt. Pleasant Avenue (Building #1 and Building #2); and the ability to build 22
nt was now requesting to convert the unused interior space within the building (Unit A-1); the two existing structures on Mt. Pleasant Avenue (Building #1 and Building #2); and the ability to build 22 parking spaces in parking area “F” at any time in the future. Referring to Mr. Keller’s review memo dated April 2018, Comment #1 regarding ADA accessibility to the proposed medical office use, Mr. Petry stated the future parking plan had not yet addressed the issue. The Applicant did not know if the structures would be used for medical or regular office use, architectural plans had not been completed. The Applicant was currently requesting approval to use the buildings; at such future time when architectural plans were developed for the buildings, the Applicant was willing to come back before the Board for any ADA modifications. Mr. Williams stated the Applicant would accept the item as a special condition of approval. Mr. Petry continued; he stated there was an additional 8,792 square feet within the main building, 1,893 square feet (Building #1), and 2,845 square feet (Building #2). The total building area would increase by 13,530 square feet to an overall area of 118,347 square feet. He stated the parking requirement under Township code would be 592 spaces; there were currently 457 spaces. There was the ability to build the additional 22 spaces at any time in the future. The Applicant was requesting a deviation from 479 parking spaces to the 592 parking spaces requirement. In response to inquiry from Mr. Williams, Mr. Petry stated that based upon his analysis, he believed that even with the proposed expanded square footage, there would be an excess of available parking spaces.
