XN ASSOCIATES Chairman and Members of the West Orange Township Planning Board September 6, 2019 Re: Prism Capital Partners, LLC (PB 19-04) Our File No. VWRP0115.01 Preliminary & Final Major Site Plan with Page 9 “C" Variances and Tree Removal Permit Application Review #1 “Landscaping shall be maintained with shrubs not higher than four (4) feet, except where a taller buffer or visual screen is required, and with the branches of shade trees no lower than eight (8) feet at anticipated maturity”. Therefore, the Applicant should address the Board to demonstrate that a greater height than 4 ft is required at this location. In addition, a note should be added to the plans stating that the shade tree branches will be trimmed as necessary to provide the required clearance at maturity. 50. The Landscape, Lighting and Open Space section in the Second Amendment to Downtown Redevelopment Pian states that “All street frontage within the Area shall be landscaped with appropriate street trees planted at an interval of 25’-40' depending on species and shall be no less than 2 ¥% inch caliper’. The Applicant should address the Board to demonstrate compliance with this requirement. 51. The Traffic and Parking Assessment Letter Report demonstrates that the proposed development will not significantly impact the operations of the adjacent roadway network and adequate on-site parking will be provided. 52. The headings on Table 1 in the Traffic and Parking Assessment Letter Report under Weekday Morning Peak Hour and Weekday Evening Peak Hour must be corrected to read Enter — Exit — Total. 53. The Hydrology Report uses the NRCS TR-55 method to calculate the existing and proposed condition peak flows. The worksheets show that a minimum time of concentration of 10 minutes was used which is incorrect. The TR-55 method requires a minimum time of concentration of 0.1 hour or 6 minutes. Therefore, the Hydrologic Report must be revised accordingly. 54. The Drainage Area Maps show that the soils at the site are primarily URDUNB with a very small area of USDUNB soils. The Custom Soil Resource Report in the Hydrologic Report shows that USDUNB soils are Hydrologic Soil Group A while URDUNB soils are unranked. The Custom Soil Resource Report also shows that URDUNB soils consist of sandy loam and loamy sand which fits the description for Hydrologic Soil Group A. However, the worksheets

NB soils are unranked. The Custom Soil Resource Report also shows that URDUNB soils consist of sandy loam and loamy sand which fits the description for Hydrologic Soil Group A. However, the worksheets in the Hydrology Report are based on the soils at the site being Hydrologic Soils Group D. This discrepancy must be resolved. 55. As stipulated in Section 25-29.10(b)(1) of the Land Use Regulations, the design engineer shall prepare a maintenance plan for the stormwater management measures incorporated into the design of a major development. It further stipulates in Section 25- 29.10(b)(4) that the maintenance plan and any future revisions shall be recorded upon the deed of record for each property on which the maintenance described in the maintenance plan must be undertaken. Prior to recording, the form of the deed must be approved by the Planning Board Attorney and our office. ‘S.\West Orange\Pianning BoarcVWRPO115.01 - Prism Capital Partners, LLC MjSP\Review #1 09-08-2018.doc
