Porter, RA 11/3/2022 A100-PB, A101-PB, A200-PB, A201-PB) WHEREAS, representatives of the public asked questions of the witnesses and had an opportunity to offer statements regarding the application; and WHEREAS, the Board reviewed and considered the application, testimony and documents submitted therewith; and WHEREAS, the Board also considered the input of its professionals at the hearing; and NOW THEREFORE, the Board makes the following findings of fact, based upon the evidence presented at its public hearings, at which a record was made: 1. The Applicant is requesting minor site plan approval for the construction of a two-story accessory building adjacent to an existing pool house building and the addition of two dumpster enclosures to be an amendment to the site plan (To establish a record of the location of the dumpsters and as further confirmation of the previously granted approval issued by the Building Department). Testimony established that the proposed accessory structure is intended as a workout room/gym/changing room on the second floor for the exclusive use by tenants of the garden apartments and on the ground level for administrative offices and kitchenette for the complex (As the current office is now located in the basement of one of the apartment buildings). The property is located on Mount Pleasant Avenue and is comprised of a garden apartment complex on approximately twelve acres made up of two- and three-story buildings and accessory uses (Such as a pool and pool house at the interior of the complex.) The surrounding area outside of the garden apartment complex is comprised of single- family residential dwellings. A few years ago, the Applicant was administratively granted leave to add two dumpster locations because the complex covers a very large area such that some tenants, rather than use the one large dumpster area, used cans buried in the ground locally to their buildings that created bad odors and did not work well. The two added dumpster enclosures are to the West and East sides of the complex and have gates enclosing the dumpsters that are surrounded by masonry walls. The new accessory structure will result in the removal of two trees and the addition of a concrete walkway. The new accessory

have gates enclosing the dumpsters that are surrounded by masonry walls. The new accessory structure will result in the removal of two trees and the addition of a concrete walkway. The new accessory structure is located adjacent to the pool which is open Weekends from Memorial Day to July 1 and then everyday from 10AM to 6PM until Labor Day. 144818770.1
