Show all pagesMr. Vandeloech detailed the existing landscaping on the site and what is being proposed. Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Vandeloech how many bathrooms are being proposed; he referred to sheet A-2 of the architectural plans and said one bathroom in the office and one on the main floor. Mr. Vandeloech said the one in the office is for employees but can be used by someone who comes to the office to lease a space. Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Vandeloech if he thinks one bathroom is sufficient for the public to use; he said yes. Mr. Vandeloech said that it was based on how many people are in the building at one time. Chairman Neuer stated for the record that he thinks one bathroom s not sufficient for a building that is four (4) levels high.

Mr. Eben expressed his concern on record regarding Mr. Vandeloech not practicing architecture under the laws in the State of New Jersey. Mr. Eben stated that he thinks that one bathroom on every floor would be good for the customers. Mr. Eben asked Mr. Grygiel if the shadow boxes in the windows are in violation of the zoning ordinance; he said he will have to get back to him on that.
