August 7, 2024 Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes

Mayor McCartney asked if there is a marketing plan in place for recruiting the retail space. The architect said that the planner will discuss the types of uses at the retail spaces. Chairman Bagoff asked if there will be a bathroom in the retail space. The architect said that it is not part of the current plans, but there certainly will be a bathroom in the retail space. Chairman Bagoff asked what is the size of an ADA compliant bathroom. The architect said it is about 7 1/2 by 6 feet. PROFESSIONALS QUESTIONS Mr. Haizel asked is there any reason why the trash room was proposed in the middle of the commercial space and the entry to the building. The architect said it does have to do with connecting to the floors above it. It's very common that the trash shoots are generally near the elevator and the stairs. Mr. Hess asked if the trash collection will be done in Park Drive N. The architect said that the trash and recycling will be picked up by a private hauler the collection vehicle will pull up along Main Street. The attendee will roll out the dumpsters for collection, once the refuse collection is complete, the collection vehicle will continue forward along Main St., no turnaround required. Frequency of collection will be two times per week which is pretty standard for multifamily apartment building of this size. Mr. Hess asked will there be any audible components on the warning lights. The architect said she does not recall if the unit has audio, but if it is required the applicant will comply. PUBLIC QUESTIONS Susan Lenczyk at 234 Eagle Rock Avenue asked why are we showing trees and not the adjacent building on the plans. Ms. Klimm said that it's an artistic choice to show around the building. Ms. Adams at Park Drive South asked how will drivers on Main Street be able to see the warning light especially if they're going northbound on Main Street turning on to park Dr. N. The architect said the light is to warn pedestrians that a vehicle is exiting or entering. Ms. Adams asked if the warning lights will be loud enough that a person walking by will hear it. Ms. Klimm said it will not be loud enough to disturb the neighbors. There are noise ordinances in effect throughout the Township as well as state requirements and any noise emitted from this site; she said they will need to comply at the property lines with those requirements.
