\ ASSOCIATES Chairman and Members of the West Orange Township Planning Board dune 26, 2024 Re: West Essex Highlands, LLC (PB 24-01) Our File No. VWRP0179.01 Preliminary & Final Site Plan - Review #1 Page 7 28. It shows on the Building Type 1 table on sheet SP-3 that 21 3-bedroom units are proposed in Building A.2 whereas it shows on the Unit Matrix on sheet C-01 of the architectural plans that 20 3-bedroom units are proposed in Building A-2. This discrepancy must be resolved. 29. Section 25-19.e.11 of the Ordinance stipulates that a minimum buffer width of 100 ft shall be provided around the entire tract boundary. It shows on sheet SP-4 that a buffer of 106.3 ft is proposed from the northerly property line to building D.1. However, by scale the parking spaces on the cul-de-sac adjacent to Building D.1 appear to be less than 100 ft from the northerly property line. Therefore, the plans should be revised to dimension the setback from the parking spaces to the northerly property line. 30. Sheet SP-4 must be revised to label the proposed boardwalk. 31. Sheet SP-5 shows that the sidewalk on the westerly side of the parking lot between buildings B and C will be 9.5 ft wide measured on an angle. The width of the sidewalk should be measured perpendicular to the sides of the sidewalk. 32. Sheet SP-5 shows a one-way driveway exiting Building C with no depressed curb or driveway apron which is unacceptable. We note that the architectural plans show that this driveway will be an emergency exit from building. 33. Sheet SP-6 must be revised to clarify the improvements that are proposed at the Warner Road wetlands crossing. 34. Sheet SP-6 should be revised to provide a handicap parking space near the dog park and maintenance building. 35. Sheet SP-6 shows a depressed curb, driveway apron and curbed area on the easterly side of the cul-de-sac adjacent to Building A.2. The purpose of the area must be clarified. 36. Sheets SP-6 & SP-7 must be revised to label the kennel and the maintenance building. 37. Sheet SP-7 should be revised to label the basins that are proposed on the southerly side of the dog park. 38. Sheet SP-8 should be revised to identify the structures that are proposed on each side of the pool. 39. Sheet SP-9 shows a concrete pad adjacent to the driveway at the southerly end of Building D.2. The purpose of this concrete pad must be clarified. 40.

that are proposed on each side of the pool. 39. Sheet SP-9 shows a concrete pad adjacent to the driveway at the southerly end of Building D.2. The purpose of this concrete pad must be clarified. 40. Sheet SP-9 includes a callout for a 4 ft wide sidewalk along the southerly side of the road adjacent to the pump station. However, no sidewalk is shown on the plan. This discrepancy must be resolved. 41. Sheets SP-8 and SP-9 must be revised to show the improvements that are proposed where the street crosses the wetlands.
