Ke ASSOCIATES Chairman and Members of the West Orange Township Zoning Board August 10, 2022 Re: WM. Vega Investments LLC (ZB-21-01) Our File No. VWRZ0134.01 Preliminary & Final Major Site Plan with ‘C’ Page 4 and ‘D' Variances - Review #3 4. 10. 11. 12. It shows on sheet C-4 that the trash enclosure will be located between the existing shed and the southerly property line. Based on the proposed curb layout shown on the plan, we find that there is not enough room for a trash truck to access the trash enclosure area. Therefore, the Applicant should address the Board regarding how trash will be collected at the site. It remains for the Applicant to submit a truck turning template to the Board to demonstrate that adequate maneuvering room is available for the vehicles anticipated to use the site including trash trucks, emergency vehicles and trucks associated with the commercial use of the site. It states on sheet C-4 that an electronic sliding gate with keypad operator is proposed at the entrance to the site. Details of the gate and the keypad operator must be added to the plans. It shows on sheet C-4 that the Applicant proposes to install “Resident Only” signs to reserve two (2) of the parking spaces for residents of the proposed apartment. It remains for a detail of the “Resident Only” signs to be added to the plans. It states in the previously submitted Stormwater Management Statement that the area of disturbance will be 10,352 sf and the new motor vehicle surface will be less than 0.25 acres. Since the area of disturbance will be less than 1 acre and the new motor vehicle surface will be less than 0.25 acres, the project is classified as a Minor Development. In addition, the Stormwater Management Statement demonstrates that the impervious area will be decreased by 399 sf and there will be no increase in the post-development runoff leaving the site for the 2, 10 and 100 year storms. It shows on sheet C-5 that the Applicant proposes to install two (2) Type B inlets along the southerly property line to collect the runoff from the parking lot. In addition, the roof leaders from the building are to be connected to the Type B inlet closest to the street. The Applicant then proposes to install an 8” PVC pipe which will discharge to a doghouse manhole which will be installed on the existing storm sewer on the westerly side of Franklin Avenue. It

treet. The Applicant then proposes to install an 8” PVC pipe which will discharge to a doghouse manhole which will be installed on the existing storm sewer on the westerly side of Franklin Avenue. It remains for the Applicant to provide calculations to demonstrate that the proposed storm sewer pipes have adequate capacity to handle the peak flows that are anticipated. Sheet C-10 includes a 6’ High Chain Link Fence detail. Note 2 on the detail states that it only applies to fence without privacy slats whereas the Applicant has proposed a fence with privacy slats. Therefore, it remains for the discrepancy to be resolved. As a condition of any approval granted by the Board, it is our recommendation that the Applicant be required to consolidate the three (3) existing lots. Prior to recording, a copy of the proposed Deed of Consolidation must be submitted to the Board for review and approval by the Board Attorney and our office. In addition, the proposed lot number for the consolidated parcel must be approved in writing by the West Orange Tax Assessor.
