July 16, 2026, Regular Meeting

Mr. Dockery asked if it would be feasible to move the trash enclosure further away from the residences (the condominiums)? Mr. Ritchie said that the location of the trash enclosure is appropriate for the use for the operations, and access for trash collection. It's surrounded by an enclosure that's facing away from the residence placed and located currently is the most appropriate but it would be feasible to locate it somewhere else on the property and can't think of a better place. Mr. Andrew Matt (6 Cerone Court) asked if safer alternatives that might reduce the need for people to have to walk in front of traffic in order to leave were considered. Mr. Ritchie said that crosswalks are provided for safe pedestrian access from one side of the drive aisle to the other for the interior crossing and then to provide a connection, safe pedestrian connection across the driveway within the county right away and the proposed sidewalk within the county right of way was a request from the town. Mr. Nicholas Stroumtsos (214 Cerruti Court) asked where the used tires will be stored waiting to be disposed of. Mr. Ritchie said that both used and new testimony Ms. Stacey Harris (304 Araneo Drive) asked about the underground stormwater storage system and if that could be elaborated. Mr. Ritchie answered that it is referred to as a “buyer retention system” and an underground storage system with rainwater that is released within 72 hours. Ms. Harris asked for confirmation that the facing of the bay doors would be perpendicular to Prospect Avenue (not facing Prospect Avenue). it won't face the residences; it's going to face one of the other buildings. And if I recall correctly, you also stated that the bay doors would be closed to reduce noise and what is the, plan during inclement weather? Ms. John-Basta answered stating that this expert did not testify that the bay doors would be closed. Chairperson Neuer agreed that it was not this witness. Ms. Susan Kruger (25 Cerone Court) asked in reference to stormwater runoff as it was stated that it is released within 72 hours and where it is released to. Mr. Ritchie said that there is an existing pipe which leaves the site that handles stormwater today on the site today. He continued on stating that they are proposing to maintain that same connection. Mr. Dan Moore (50 Musano Court) asked how the applicant plans to deal with

andles stormwater today on the site today. He continued on stating that they are proposing to maintain that same connection. Mr. Dan Moore (50 Musano Court) asked how the applicant plans to deal with the noise for the surrounding wildlife and the care center patients? Ms. John-Basta asked to defer this question to the acoustical expert. Mr. Moore asked for the reason behind this being the application site with two separate service stations located on the same street. Chairperson Neuer said that he is going to save that question for the applicant’s Planner. Mr. Kevin Malanga (53 Ridge Road) asked how many Mavis Tire sites he has designed. Mr. Ritchie said that this is his second one. Mr. Malanga asked how many feet from the east wall of this building is it proposed to the closest residence. Mr. Richie said that it is approximately 60 feet between the eastern wall of the proposed building and the nearest adjacent residential unit. Mr. Malanga asked for the address of the other property designed. Mr. Ritchie said 860 Union Mill Road in Mount Laure. Mr. Lou Hammel (305 Cerruti Court) asked about impervious coverage and stated that they would comply and could eliminating service bays achieve the coverage requirement instead of asking for a variance. Mr. Ritchie said that they could but it was covered in the operational testimony about the viability of the site and at the prior hearing as an Mr. Barry Kirschenbaum (269 DeRose Court) asked whether flammable tires and oil will be stored on site, and if they would consider putting in a sprinkler system.
