\ ASSOCIATES, Chairman and Members of the West Orange Township Zoning Board September 13, 2022 Re: M. Vega Investments LLC (ZB-21-01) Our File No. VWRZ0134.01 Preliminary & Final Major Site Plan with ‘C’ Page 4 and 'D' Variances - Review #4 b) To permit a 6 ft high chain link fence with privacy slats in the front yard whereas Section 25-8.4a stipulates that 4 ft high fences not more than 50% solid are permitted in the front yard. The Sustainability Checklist Form submitted by the Applicant is blank. Therefore, it remains for the Applicant to submit a completed Sustainability Checklist Form which details the sustainable design features that are proposed for this project. In their September 1, 2022 letter, Mr. Kline and Ms. Savitz state that testimony will be provided regarding the applicability of the Sustainability Checklist Form to the proposed development. The Applicant has submitted architectural plans which are unsigned and unsealed. It remains for the Applicant to submit signed and sealed copies of the architectural plans to the Board as required by the Site Plan / Subdivision Checklist. In their September 1, 2022 letter, Mr. Kline and Ms. Savitz state that signed and sealed architectural plans will be provided under a separate cover. .

The plans now show that 4 parking spaces are proposed along the front of the parking lot, 2 parking spaces on the side and 3 parking spaces along the rear. Our office is concerned that the vehicles using the most southerly parking space along the : front of the parking space will have a difficult time exiting the site. Therefore, a turnaround area should be provided along the southerly side of the parking lot to facilitate vehicles exiting this parking space. It shows on sheet C-4 that the trash enclosure will be located between the existing shed and the southerly property line.

Therefore, the Applicant should address the Board regarding how trash will be collected at the site. . The F-550 w/ trailer Truck Turn Exhibit shows the trailer accessing the second space from the building along the rear of the site. The Applicant should address the Board if trailers will be parked in any of the other spaces to the south along the rear of the site. If so, then the Truck Turn Exhibit must be revised accordingly. . The Truck Turn Exhibit for a fire truck shows that the fire truck will have to back out of the site when leaving. It is likely that a fire truck would park on the street rather than attempt to enter the site if a fire were to occur.
