The Applicant shall provide testimony regarding existing vegetation, and any related removals, replacements, or new planting areas. Matrix defers to the Board Planner for further landscaping review and comments. 1.2. The existing planting areas appear to extend beyond the property line and are in the public right-of-way. The Applicant should be prepared to revise and relocate these landscape areas from the right-of-way onto the site if so desired by the board. 2. Site Lighting Photometric Grid 2.1. The Applicant shall provide testimony regarding the existing site’s compliance with Township Ordinance §25-14, related to lighting levels. Considering the site is adding the residential use, the Applicant shall review the need for replacement or supplemental lighting to meet the minimum lighting level criteria in §25- 14.3 while minimizing light spillover onto adjacent properties. 2.2. The Applicant shows on the site plan two existing wooden utility poles, one of which has an area light that was probably intended to illuminate the parking lot. The Applicant shall provide testimony regarding the type of fixture and the functional level of light that is cast by this light. 2.3. There is an existing fixture on a utility pole at the northeast corner of the property along Pleasant Valley Way that is directed to the parking area on the north side of the building. It appears the lighting analysis does not take this fixture into account. The Applicant shall incorporate this fixture into the calculation or provide additional fixtures to boost the levels of light in this area as it does not meet the minimum requirements of the ordinance. 2.4. The illumination levels at the driveway opening along Mt. Pleasant Avenue appears to be well below the required minimum of the ordinance as stated in the table in section §25-14.3. The Applicant shall provide additional fixtures as necessary to meet the ordinance minimum. 3. Utilities 3.1. The Applicant shall confirm if new utility service lines, laterals, connections, or associated appurtenances are needed for the proposed improvements. The Applicant shall clean and televise the existing sanitary lateral and any roof drainage laterals intended to be reused prior to construction. 3.2. The Applicant shall provide
proposed improvements. The Applicant shall clean and televise the existing sanitary lateral and any roof drainage laterals intended to be reused prior to construction. 3.2. The Applicant shall provide testimony regarding the need to construct any above- or below-grade improvements for utility services.
