So what we need done,4 I'm not writing a letter, we're doing this in public5 because everybody should know, the tree replacement6 plan. If it's already been provided and they just7 missed it, please highlight it for us. If it wasn't8 done with any specificity please provide that.9 The sanitary sewer, in terms of where you're10 laying it out so it avoids the issues that were11 described by our engineer.12 MR. KLEIN: The pipe under the detention13 basin?14 MS. McGOVERN: Right, the pipe under the15 detention basin.16 And the capacity issues. To demonstrate17 that your plan satisfies the capacity needs for this18 development, and how you go about satisfying capacity19 needs. If you have to put in a holding tank or20 whatever.21 The water tower question. If the -- it may22 have already been satisfied with your permit that you23 got, I don't know, but if you could clarify that to make24 sure that we have that.25 122 Whether your engineer can revise the plan to1 redirect the water without going back to DEP to continue2 to keep the wetlands wet in that one area that was3 described.4 And in terms of costs absorbed, I think5 that's already covered under the ordinance. No?6 MAYOR McCARTNEY: The agreement --7 MS. McGOVERN: It would be what?8 MR. PLOCKER: Any off tract contributions9 are limited to the traffic light, that's in the10 settlement agreement.11 MS. McGOVERN: Right.12 MR. PLOCKER: That's in the settlement13 agreement.14 MS. McGOVERN: The off tract improvements --15 MR. PLOCKER: Correct.16 MS. McGOVERN: -- but the internal ones I17 think our engineer sets that. Right, Ryan?18 MR. PLOCKER: That's all on our --19 whatever's on our property we're responsible for20 maintaining at our cost.21 MS. McGOVERN: Right.22 MR. PLOCKER: Absolutely.23 MR. MacNEILL: All on-site improvements are24 on the applicant.25 123 MS. McGOVERN: Are responsible. We can put1 a condition on, but there's not proofs that are needed2 for that.3 MR. MacNEILL: Yeah, and the performance4 bond and inspection fee escrow essentially outlines5 that.6 MS. McGOVERN: Perfect.7 MR. MacNEILL: They don't install the8 project per plan, then they wouldn't get that9 performance bond.10 MS. McGOVERN: And also Council

fee escrow essentially outlines5 that.6 MS. McGOVERN: Perfect.7 MR. MacNEILL: They don't install the8 project per plan, then they wouldn't get that9 performance bond.10 MS. McGOVERN: And also Council President11 you should know that, typically a developer's agreement12 is done on these things and that also includes the13 performance bond and the issues regarding that. So that14 protects the township.15 And the last thing is the potential other16 exit.17 MR. KLEIN: Can you do a straw poll to see18 if that was a good idea.

The borough engineer19 has to say, is there enough capacity in the sewer system20 to take whatever's coming off there.21 MAYOR McCARTNEY: That's what I'm saying.22 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: There's a certain amount23 of units and I'm sure there's some calculation that the24 engineers have to say, well, based on X amount of human25
