But these, these are10 typically around ten feet in height. And even if these11 were counted, which typically they're not, they would12 still be within the buildable and permitted height for13 these structures.14 THE PUBLIC: Fair enough. Thank you.15 THE PUBLIC: Hello. My name is Victor,16 Misarti, M-I-S-A-R-T-I. I live on Mayfair.17 So I have a question, can we put those up18 again. The site sections.19 So my question also was about the site20 sections. I went to look for those, are those21 available, I mean in between these, since this meeting22 and the last meeting, that on the agenda, the board23 agenda, they have like an engineering set, an24 architectural set but I didn't see these. You mentioned25 38 before these were part of a PowerPoint, different1 PowerPoint presentation. Like are these available for2 the public to see the site sections?3 THE WITNESS: I can't say with certainty4 because I haven't looked on the website, but they were5 submitted, so I assume that they are.6 MS. MCGOVERN: They're on, they're on the7 website.8 THE PUBLIC: I mean they may be, I just9 don't know where to find them.10 And I just had another comment that people11 asked what specific house that is on Rosemont and on the12 other section, which specific house it is on Howell13 Drive. If we could just see the whole picture again.14 Okay. So there's a red line and that red line is15 showing where the section is and there's another red16 line that goes up on the other 4.4B and that goes right17 through the house. So I think it would be easy enough18 to find what exact house that's going through.19 THE WITNESS: Yes.20 THE PUBLIC: Okay. That's all. Thank you.21 THE WITNESS: You're welcome.22 THE PUBLIC: Debbie Butensay,23 B-U-T-E-N-S-A-Y, West Orange.24 So I have a question regarding the picture,25 39 if you could enlarge that one. The pinch point1 diagrammatically seven feet from the dotted line.2 MR. AFRAN: Could we get a reading on the3 number of this chart,

question regarding the picture,25 39 if you could enlarge that one. The pinch point1 diagrammatically seven feet from the dotted line.2 MR. AFRAN: Could we get a reading on the3 number of this chart, please. Thank you. Part of 4.4C.4 The upper part.5 THE WITNESS: So where I'm am showing the6 pointer at that point over here, that's your closest7 point. That's the furthest easterly point and this is8 closest to the, that is what Mr. Anderson was9 referencing in his testimony as well.10 THE PUBLIC: And should there be a fire on11 that roof, people smoking, how do we expect to get a12 fire truck in that pinch point area?13 THE WITNESS: The fire would be fought from14 the front of the building not from the back of the15 building.16 THE PUBLIC: And let's say we need multiple17 fire trucks, like on my block which was Kinzel, corner18 of Rappleye, there was a major fire December 15 with19 three, four fire companies were called in, in addition20 to every, maxed out of every single fire truck from the21 West Orange Fire Department. And then you had first22 responders, you had police, you had EMS. How, how is,23 your vision, how is that going to go?24 THE WITNESS: I believe that we have, this is25 40 addressing code requirements, ordinance requirements and1 the local fire official also reviewed this without2 additional comment on this.3 THE PUBLIC: I'm just asking, you're the4 architect, how do you envision that's going to go?5 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: I'm sorry, the fire6 official envisions this, not the architect. That's a7 question for the fire official and, he built the8 building and the fire official decides, and the9 buildings, as he said, by code, are sprinklered.10 THE PUBLIC: Okay.11 So you got roof access, you got people,12 people can smoke up there. What type of materials are13 you using to prevent fires up on the roof?14 THE WITNESS: I would expect that smoking15 would not be permitted in structure like this.16 THE PUBLIC: It's outdoors.17 THE WITNESS: But I, you know, that's an18 operational --19 THE PUBLIC: But you said there was20 barbecues there. You said barbecues were going to be21 permitted up there.22 THE WITNESS: Yes.23 THE PUBLIC: Well, so you got fire.24 THE WITNESS: So the grills that are used in25
