. The reflected ceiling plan shows that the space currently has acoustical ceiling tiles and there will be acoustical ceiling tiles going into the new project with linear LED lighting that's integrated into the ceiling grid. . There are no HVAC supplies or returns shown at the moment. He said that they will be located by the mechanical engineer and mechanical contractor during permit drawing phase as well as construction. . The odor control requirement was not made clear to the applicant, and the way of thinking is that the products come in sealed plastic containers and there will never be any product out in the open or consumed on site. The product will be sold also in the containers in the same way that it's brought in, so theoretically there should not be any odor within this space. If it is a condition of the board that we will need to put in some kind of odor mitigation, that can be done by using charcoal filters either integrated into the HVAC system or as standalone filtration units. . The space will be primarily luxury vinyl plank commercial grade as well as carpeting. Most of the walls will be consisting of general high quality Benjamin Moore paint and there will be a few accent walls with some trim and decorative things being applied to it. . The security plan was not included during the presentation because the applicant did not want it to be released to the public, but as mentioned before, it was sent to the Sheriff's Office and he gave his approval. . The only signage that's being applied for under this application is signage that will be applied to the exterior door that leads into the hallway that brings the user to the space. . The architect will comply with the engineer’s report, since the plans must be revised to include a written and graphic scale on each sheet. . The building footprints between the site plan and the architectural plans has discrepancies. The reason for that was that the plans were not created in the same orientation and do not have North arrows on his drawings to show which way is north. He will add North arrow, so the orientation is clearer. BOARD QUESTIONS Mr. Smeraldo asked that since the building is existing and they're doing renovations, does anything fall under the retrofitting codes. Mr. Lawrence answer in the affirmative, but has not been totally worked through and he will work through those issues in the

they're doing renovations, does anything fall under the retrofitting codes. Mr. Lawrence answer in the affirmative, but has not been totally worked through and he will work through those issues in the next phase of the project. NO PROFESSIONAL QUESTIONS NO PUBLIC QUESTIONS PRESENTATION . The applicant and co-owner Nordia Gibbs entered on the record and she was sworn under oath. . Ms. Gibbs stated that Pure Natural Vibes plans to operate in micro dispensary at 470 Prospect Avenue, suite 100 from the hours of 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, seven days a week as permitted by current Township ordinance. If the permitted hours are changed in the ordinance their operation will comply. . They can anticipate that majority of all orders to be placed online in advance and all sales transaction will occur inside the facility. At no point will any of the items be delivered outside their facility to any customers and no on-site consumption will be allowed. e The standard processing time for an online order will take about 6 to 12 minutes on average from arrival time to departure. Their goal is to stagger the pickup times to avoid overflowing of parking. The parking agreement in place with the adjacent tenant at 66 Prospect Ave. is that since they operate after hours and they have events in the evenings, they have allowed the applicant to use their parking lot for overflow during their operating business hours in the event they need additional parking spaces for customers at that point in time.
