June 3, 2026 Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes

© Reduces driver confusion o Improves pedestrian safety A key design strategy is relocating the building toward the street corner. According to Mr. Mastropietro, this: © Reduces the number of driveways Creates a more continuous sidewalk Improves pedestrian comfort Forms a stronger architectural edge Establishes the building as a visual landmark anchoring the intersection © Creates a greater "sense of place" Referring to the township's design standards, Mr. Mastropietro stated that perceived scale was an important consideration. Because supermarkets require high interior ceilings, the roof is designed with inward slopes to reduce the building's apparent height and visual mass. Proposed materials include: © Zine roofing because of its long lifespan and low maintenance o Aluminum storefront systems © Stainless:steel reflective panels instead of traditional mirror glass to encourage visual interaction while remaining more durable © Additional stainless steel architectural finishes Environmental elements include: © Solar-ready roof for future panels White reflective roofing to reduce the urban heat island effect Skylights providing natural daylight inside the supermarket Rain gardens throughout landscaped islands Permeable paving in parking areas High-efficiency building fixtures Reduced impervious surface coverage Native tree species to increase shade, improve air quality, and strengthen Main Street's tree canopy o Dark-sky-compliant downward-facing lighting Mr. Mastropietro presented interior renderings. While acknowledging the grocery store would have a conventional supermarket layout with adjacent entrance and exit areas, he emphasized higher-quality interior architecture than a typical supermarket Mr. Mastropietro described Main Street as having strong potential to become a more walkable corridor. He stated that every major design decision was intended to support walkability and pedestrian comfort. Recognizing that supermarkets require long solid walls, Mr. Mastropietro explained that the design attempts to avoid a blank fagade. He proposed incorporating dynamic fagade treatments using reflective stainless steel elements to create visual interaction and improve the pedestrian experience. Mr. Mastropietro explained that the roof form is intentionally designed to visually highlight the main entrance, making it obvious and welcoming to

l interaction and improve the pedestrian experience. Mr. Mastropietro explained that the roof form is intentionally designed to visually highlight the main entrance, making it obvious and welcoming to approaching pedestrians. Stated that an open, transparent facade helps activate the sidewalk and improves safety through natural surveillance Explained that the supermarket is designed to be fully ADA compliant Noted there are no grade changes between interior and exterior pedestrian areas. 0000 00000006
