2.) ZB-22-07 - CLPF-Essex Green LLC 495 Prospect Avenue Block: 255.21; Lot: 40; Zone: P-C (Planned Commercial) Amendment to Site Plan approved 4/11/2019 to add dumpster pad and add/change signage. PRESENTATION e Mr. Francis X. Regan entered on the record on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Regan then went into detail that this application is in regards to amending the site plan approved previously at the April 11, 2019 meeting and an application for a trash enclosure and additional signage. e Mr. Michael Fama, Senior Property Manager, gave an overview of his role and gave testimony regarding the current configuration versus what the application proposes. In the new application, the trash will be taken to one localized spot where there is a need. for supplemental garbage due to AMC which is located on the upper level. e Mr. Fama testified in regards to signage stating that presently there are two signs (Northern at the main entrance Southern Plyon on the corner of Rooney Avenue and Prospect Avenue) e Northern Pylon sign has been rehabbed on site with no change to the sign area to the furthest extent that they can be in his opinion. Even though it was approved to be demolished and replaced with a digital sign, the owner’s intention was to refresh what is existing in the meantime to improve aesthetics and look at an LED sign later on. e Southern Pylon sign has been demoed and rebuilt for plans that were previously approved by the Zoning Board in 2019. e Mr. Fama also mentioned a supplemental monument that was approved in 2019 to go next to the Southern Plyon. The intention of changing signage at this time is to consolidate those two signs to look identical as the Northern Plyon. e Mr. Regan and Mr. Fama discussed the AMC sign which was to be removed as per the 2019 approval and applicant is proposing to retain and refresh that as well to coordinate with other signs. It is slated in this application in its refurbishment to be used for shared tenant signage to increase in way finding and increase internal visibility while maintaining the existing signage area.
