ASSOCIATES Chairman and Members of the West Orange Township Zoning Board October 12, 2022 Re: M. Vega Investments LLC (ZB-21-01) Our File No. VWRZ0134.01 Preliminary & Final Major Site Plan with ‘C’ Page 5 and ‘D’ Variances - Review #5 6. 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. 7. It shows on sheet C-5 that the Applicant proposes to install one (1) Type B inlet along the southerly curb line to collect the runoff from the parking lot. In addition, the roof leaders from the building are to be connected to a proposed manhole located at the southwest corner of the property. The Applicant then proposes to install an 8” PVC pipe which will discharge from the proposed manhole to a doghouse manhole which will be installed on the existing storm sewer on the westerly side of Franklin Avenue. 8. 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. C. LIGHTING COMMENTS 1. The Applicant requires a waiver from Section 25-14.2 as the proposed parking lot lighting is under the 2.0 footcandles required. However, we note that the proposed lighting meets IES (Illuminating Engineering Society) standards and appears to be sufficient as proposed. 2. It remains for the plans to be revised to provide the manufacturer's catalog cut and ordering information for the proposed light pole. Also, provide the color and finish for the proposed pole. In their September 1, 2022 letter, Mr. Kline and Ms. Savitz state that the cut sheet for the proposed light pole will be provided

light pole. Also, provide the color and finish for the proposed pole. In their September 1, 2022 letter, Mr. Kline and Ms. Savitz state that the cut sheet for the proposed light pole will be provided in advance of construction. 3. At the September 15, 2022 Planning Board meeting, Ms. Afton Savitz, PE agreed that the site lighting will be dimmed after hours. Therefore, the plans must be revised to indicate timers and hours of operation for the proposed light fixtures. D. LANDSCAPING COMMENTS 1. In accordance with Section 25-11.3b, a twenty (20) feet wide buffer strip is to be provided along the east property line; whereas the Applicant has provided a buffer strip with a width of 5.1 feet. :\West Orange\Zoning BoardiVWRZ0134.01 - M VEGA INVESTMENTS, LLC\22-10-12 Review #5.docx \
