" Mr. Hess asked about clarification on trash and recyclable collection area in regard to access as it looks like someone will have to access containers as he does not see any way that a vehicle (ie. a dumpster truck) can be backed into this lot. Mr. Kline said that the applicant is proposing four (4) 90-gallon containers. At the outset this would be one (1) recycling container and would go up to the maximum required depending on the need for up to two of each (recycling and trash) containers. Depending on the operation would determine the frequency of the pickup which would be taking place at off peak time. e Ms. Marsh suggested for the applicant to consider ten (10) spaces and have a raised curb for sidewalk area with safety concerns. Mr. Kline said that he could raise that to the applicant and see what his verdict is but Mr. Kline will not approve of a change like this without the applicant’s input. PUBLIC ADVOCATE QUESTIONS ¢ Mr. Thapar asked about the possibility of electric charging stations to be added to the site. To which Mr. Kline said that there is no intention to add since there is no ordinance for under twenty-five (25) parking spaces. e Mr. Thapar asked if patrons are not expected at the office. Mr. Kline said that there will be adequate parking. PUBLIC QUESTIONS ° Kevin Malanga (57 Ridge Road) asked why chain link fence is proposed as opposed to cedar board on board. To which Mr. Kline said that it is because of screening. Mr. Malanga asked if vehicles are able to be parked in the drive aisle. Mr. Donat said it is not the applicant’s intent. PRESENTATION CONTINUED e Mr. Matthew Seckler, Traffic Engineer entered on the record, was sworn under oath and after stating his professional credentials, was accepted as an expert in the field of Traffic Engineering. ° Mr. Seckler gave an overview of his traffic assessment with trip generation and circulation figures. The only change caused by adding the residential use to this property, would be during the peak hours. BOARD QUESTIONS * Chairperson Neuer asked about spaces for parking.
