May 5, 2021 Adopted Planning Board Minutes

-Ms. Carolyn Verderamo (10 Tompkins St.) This is going on Valley Rd anymore so they can't even get buses on this street. It’s u know, it's a long walk to get to Town Hall to t attend a meeting or something. And with the library moving up the Hill, these people, if they they don't have places to park there, definitely going to be on Tompkins St. You know, no one's saying. SUMMARY/DISCUSSION -Mr. Sullivan quickly summarized that you know this this project as you all know, is a part of an exciting project to tedevelop the Valley. This forward has been supportive of the first two buildings, the first, which in West Orange. Is a beautiful building that's fully rented and now we're going to have the next building on Central Ave with the 94 units in the commercial on the Ist floor and this building is critical to that project because it meets the affordable obligation for that building and it assists the town in meeting its affordable obligation by being part of the affordable plan that was previously approved by the board. He opined to say that only issue with this project is this proof that the parking is sufficient. A section of West Orange where everybody has a driveway and pulls in. This isn't a more urban environment and it's easy walking distance to a trdin station with affordable housing which doesn't generate the parking demand but that market rate housing generates. Even if there are not enough spaces here, there are spaces elsewhere, because Mr. Alpert made the commitment to revitalize this whole neighborhood. NO PUBLIC COMMENT BOARD DISCUSSION Chairman Bagoff and Mr. McPherson went through the conditions: They are going to look into a rain barrel. The fire suppression shutoff will be clearly identified through the Fire Department and will have signage so everybody knows where it is. Mr. Hess will send a letter to the appropriate fire official. To find that if they. Yeah, I like the connections on the street work are in working order atid if not they will be made so. If tteeded, as in previous conditions, additional trash removal will be undertaken by the management if they find that it is needed. -Mr. Klein, said there was some talk about the garbage cans, the size of them. They might not be able to use the big ones that are the flip lids, they need. You know, | think it's more difficult to lift them up into the truck is my point. You know I'm

age cans, the size of them. They might not be able to use the big ones that are the flip lids, they need. You know, | think it's more difficult to lift them up into the truck is my point. You know I'm going to leave that to Mr. Alpert and his group. It seems to be doing unless somebody has a better idea, I think he's doing a good job. In the two projects that are there presently, will they have a dumpster? I'm sorry they have a dumpster right, but there's that he probably has a number of units. Mr. Alpert was asked if he has any units that are similar to this to judge how many garbage cans you needed? Mr. Alpert responded that his properties have an open line of communication with West Orange Department of Public Works. There have been weight limitations, but will work with them. They come twice a week and like said previously, there has been supplementation for it. Will supplement it here if we have to as well. Will work with DPW, so there is always a clear area and it's not overflowing. -Thank you. The extra lights on the building will be lowered to 7 feet. It was mentioned about complying with water and soil. Thank you. And Mr. Sullivan has agreed that the shields would
