Show all pagesand egress does have in excess of 200 feet, and aren't additionally putting any traffic demand directly onto that side street in Rosney Terrace because there are no curb cuts,so in her belief the intent of the Ordinance is satisfied and the requirement within that provision can accommodate the impacts of that relief needed, as is, required under the D3 variance. e Mr. Macleod asked what affirmative public benefit justifies overriding that residential protection? You know, given that, you know, we've managed to address, say, two of the considerations, those have been corrected. Ms. Clark answered that she doesn’t believe that the applicant has, directly recommended a public benefit tied to that. There was some testimony on in prior hearings, regarding the fact that the two (2) properties immediately to applicantion site’s rear are actually within the B2 zoning district, which is the district our property is in. Then the R6, residential district starts directly across the Rosney Terrace right-of-way, and directly across the Fundis Terrace right-of-way is the R6 district, within that 1,000 feet. Still, as stated in prior testimony, she doesn’t believe that the application is creating substantially detrimental impacts on those residential districts. Ms. Kinback did not have any redirect for her witness. REDIRECT FROM BOARD e Chairperson Neuer asked Ms.'Clark about the conditional uses and if she agrees that there are a number of C Variances that are also required in order to approve this application. Ms. Clark said yes. Chairperson Neuer continued saying that the analysis is not limited to the conditional uses and the Board must focus, on the requests for C variances. Ms. Clark said that she addressed the D3 Variance in the sense that from the case law establishing for approval of the D3 is really the site being able to accommodate the impact. There are several C Variances that were discussed also. Chairperson asked if in her opinon, the C Variances subsumed within the D3. Ms. Clark said no that all were addressed individually in terms of satisfying the criteria. e W.M. Barbee asked for confirmation on whether there was a traffic study done since Target has been open and would that change the analysis that’s been recorded, and impact the application. Ms. Clark said that she can affirm there has not been further traffic studies done. Mr. Barbee followed up by
open and would that change the analysis that’s been recorded, and impact the application. Ms. Clark said that she can affirm there has not been further traffic studies done. Mr. Barbee followed up by asking if another one will be conducted. Ms. Clark said that she doesn’t believe so that they have satisfied the requiremend under the application process. Ms. Kinback answered saying that they don’t anticipate another report as part of this application. e L. Cohen asked about the unanswered questions from the Drsener-Robin justification of Variances report that just came up referencing page 10 quoting that, “The project will not preserve any of the existing trees as they have been deemed invasive.” Asking particularly in reference to that quote: what it means, why are you relying on the Engineer, and how could you consider invasive trees not to be counted as trees. Ms. Clark answered that the proposed, tree removal and landscape design. at the last hearing, was testified to the updated numbers as part of the planning presentation and are in excess on the tree replacement of the requirement by 42 trees, so there will be 42 more trees than are necessary under the Ordinance, under the replacement requirements, and as far as the removal, that was revised by the professional tree expert in that report, and the most recent review publicly available from the Township's Forester was that there were no additional comments on that report. PROFESSIONALS QUESTIONS e No questions from Mr. Christopher Dochney on the testimony this evening. However, he concurred that the C bulk Variances are not subsumed within a D3 Variance as it only applies to D1 and D2 Variances.
