This is for the main substation. 2 We have a transmission line that veers off from the 3 station, and this is towards the northwest, that is not 4 part of this application but it is on the property. 5 That zone is the Planned Unit Residential Development 6 or PURD and R-5 Single-Family Residential. 7 I'll explain what land uses are near us. 8 To the north is offices or rather are offices and 9 retail businesses. Mount Pleasant Avenue and golf 10 course is to the south. To the east is Prospect Avenue 11 and commercial businesses. Also included are some 12 residential homes, medical offices, and a cellular 13 facility. There's also a radio tower that broadcasts 14 hip hop music. And finally to the west are office and 15 medical. 16 Q. Thank you, Ms. Merainer. If you could now 17 move in to describing the nature of the relief that's 18 being sought from this Board? 19 A. We are asking for some submission items and 20 waiver items. These were mentioned in Mr. John Hess' 21 comment letter. If you'd like I'm happy to go through 22 them or I'll go right to the meat of what we're asking 23 for. 24 MS. PORTER: Does the Board care to have 25 Ms. Merainer go through the submission waivers, or Page 75 1 go to NJDOT for a Minor Access Permit. 2 A third permit is Hudson/Essex/Passaic Soil 3 Conservation District. 4 A fourth one would be Essex County Planning 5 Board because we front on Prospect Avenue which is a 6 county road. We're here tonight for municipal site 7 plan and I will also seek construction permits. 8 The other submission item is for site 9 triangles. This will be from our reconfigured entrance 10 on Mount Pleasant Avenue, and those will be included on 11 the NJDOT application that we will be submitting. 12 Finally, a submission of -- 13 CHAIRMAN NEUER: I'm sorry. With respect 14 to the site triangles is there a reason it would not be 15 on the site plan drawings submitted to this Board? 16 THE WITNESS: We have not yet submitted an 17 application to NJDOT. When that is done we will 18 upgrade these plans accordingly. 19 CHAIRMAN NEUER: The reason you can't do 20 site triangles now? Unless you want a delay on your 21 approvals. 22 THE WITNESS: Understood. That's why we're 23 asking for a waiver, because this will be included in 24 the NJDOT application. And I will provide

es now? Unless you want a delay on your 21 approvals. 22 THE WITNESS: Understood. That's why we're 23 asking for a waiver, because this will be included in 24 the NJDOT application. And I will provide some 25 testimony in a few minutes regarding the traffic that Page 74 1 simply discuss the specific variance relief that's 2 being sought from this Board? 3 CHAIRMAN NEUER: To have a complete record 4 we need to go through the waivers. 5 MS. PORTER: That's fine. 6 THE WITNESS: The submission items. The 7 first is that we have signature blocks for Board 8 members and professionals. That is on our site plan. 9 However, I admit it's confusing because we have the 10 survey before the site plan, but the site plan does 11 have the signature blocks. That is item number eight. 12 Item number 20, the request was that all 13 property information be on the survey. It is. Also, I 14 included the Deed from the property from 1928. 15 Item number 24, we were asked what are the 16 required permits for this application. 17 CHAIRMAN NEUER: I'm sorry. You mean 18 number 23. 19 THE WITNESS: Yes. Excuse me. The other 20 permits I need, NJDEP, water, Bureau of Water 21 Allocation. That is for construction dewatering. A 22 second permit would be NJDOT Minor Access Permit. That 23 is because as Mike Blake explained we will be 24 reconfiguring our entrance onto Mount Pleasant Avenue. 25 You all know that's state Highway 10, therefore I must Page 76 1 we have at this station. 2 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Mr. Hess, do you have any 3 issues on A, B, C, and D that were just testified to? 4 MR. HESS: One thing I'd like to note is 5 regarding the signature block is that should also be on 6 the Burns McDonnell plans because those are part of 7 this application and they show some of the improvements 8 that are proposed. 9 THE WITNESS: If I might ask for 10 clarification, would you want them on every drawing? 11 MR. HESS: No. The cover sheet. 12 CHAIRMAN NEUER: The cover sheet. 13 THE WITNESS: Okay. 14 CHAIRMAN NEUER: That's what gets signed. 15 And let me just remind you, that if there's an 16 approval, because that's the only way it gets signed, 17 before I sign any plan all of the conditions have to be 18 printed on the cover of the final sheets. 19 THE WITNESS: Thank you for that. I 20 appreciate it. Finally, we had asked for a waiver from 21 submitting an Environmental Impact Statement, but 22

be 18 printed on the cover of the final sheets. 19 THE WITNESS: Thank you for that. I 20 appreciate it. Finally, we had asked for a waiver from 21 submitting an Environmental Impact Statement, but 22 subsequently, I did provide environmental information 23 before last -- 10 days before the last meeting, last 24 Thursday. I don't know if a submission waiver is still 25 needed for that since we did provide information.
