V3 RESUBMISSION ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Rev 2 Dated 11 03 2022

The plans and this report have been revised since this application was originally submitted to the Board for their consideration. These changes are as a direct result of the Site Plan Advisory Review Committee meeting and the Board Engineer’s comment letter dated June 20th. The most significant change to the plans is that the overall disturbance footprint has been reduced. This has led to a reduction in the amount of steep slope disturbance along the northern, western, and southern portions of the property. Subsequently, this resulted in a reduction in the number of trees to be removed. The previous application called for 395 trees to be removed, whereas the proposed plan calls for only 232 trees to be removed (40 of which are dead), resulting in the removal of only 192 live trees. EXISTING CONDITIONS Daughters of Israel is a licensed nursing home that is licensed for up to 303 beds. The facility sits on a campus setting that contains approximately 18 acres of land. It is located along the westerly side of Pleasant Valley Way, just south of its intersection with Route 10 (See Fig. 1). The parcel is directly across the street from the Essex County Golf Course (Byrne) and includes two separate driveways for ingress and egress (See Fig. 2). The parcel is bordered to the south by Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation as well as the Kessler Foundation. It is bordered to the north and to the west by a residential development that includes Parson Drive and Skyline Drive. Approximately 60 percent of the property is currently developed, while the remaining 40 percent is primarily wooded buffer located along the abutting properties (See Fig. 3). Within the developed portion of the property, there are a series of buildings that are interconnected, having been constructed over several decades. These buildings are serviced by an asphalt parking lot that includes a total of 236 parking stalls. We note that DOI has several vehicles, one of which is utilized as a shuttle for employees to and from public transportation and others are strictly for deliveries. All vehicles are stored on-site when not in use. 3
