10. Complete Streets Planning policy which has been adopted by both the County of Essex and by the Township of West Orange into the Turtle Back Zoo Master Plan and all future improvements; Applicant should complete and submit a Traffic Study for the Turtle Back Zoo including appropriate signage before making any more capital improvements to the Zoo property. Provide a Traffic Management Plan which explains how traffic will be managed on heavy use days. The western facade of the new parking garage should be covered with a natural “green” wall or other sustainable screening to visually buffer the garage from the reservoir area, rather than the proposed mesh. Repair the street traffic light at the Zoo entrance. Provide a Landscaping Plan which should include a tree removal/tree replacement plan. Tree replacement should be with trees having similar or greater DBH than trees being removed. Comply with all of the comments of the West Orange Fire Department in its memo by Deputy Chief Fred Kingston dated August 10, 2018. Install blue-light emergency station in or near the new parking deck. Work with the West Orange Police Department in handling traffic issues along the Northfield Avenue corridor. Utilize pervious pavers or other approaches to reducing stormwater drainage for all improvements on the Zoo property.
