SS 7 = cue Consulting & Municipal ASSOCIATES ENGINEERS Chairman and Members of the West Orange Township Zoning Board October 31, 2024 Re: MPB Realty, LLC (ZB-22-13) Our File No. VWRZ0153.01 (60002) Preliminary & Final Major Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit Page 5 with ‘C’ & ‘D' Variances and Tree Removal Permit - Review #1 2. The plans show that there will be reduction in the motor vehicle surface coverage at the site. Therefore, the required water quality standards have been met by the Applicant. In addition, the project is delineated on the State Plan Policy Map as a Metropolitan Planning Area (PA-1). Therefore, the project is exempt from complying with the groundwater recharge requirements of the Ordinance. 3. Our office has reviewed the Stormwater Management Operation and Maintenance Manual and find it to be satisfactory. 4. The Stormwater Management Operation and Maintenance Manual and any future revisions must be recorded upon the deed of record for the property. Prior to recording, the form of the deed must be approved by the Board Attorney and our office. 5. It shows on sheet 4 that a Type ‘A’ inlet currently exists behind the existing building. The Applicant should clarify how this inlet is piped offsite. The location of the discharge from this inlet could affect the Existing Drainage Area Map in the Drainage Statement. D. TRAFFIC COMMENTS 1. The Applicant should address the Board regarding where drive-thru customers will park if requested by an employee due to longer waiting times for the food order. 2. The Applicant should address the Board regarding their plans to provide a loading space as required by §25-12.3 of the Ordinance. 3. Sheet 19 includes a vehicle circulation plan for a WB-50 tractor trailer. The plan shows that the truck will only access the front of the site. The Applicant should address the Board on how deliveries will be made to each restaurant without obstructing circulation at the site, including access to the handicap parking spaces. E. LANDSCAPING AND FORESTRY COMMENTS 1. Every development application shall submit a tree removal and replacement plan, in accordance with the newly adopted Tree Ordinance.

pplicant has indicated trees to be removed on sheet 12 of 22; however, replacement calculations should be provided, as specified in Table ‘A’ of the newly adopted Tree Ordinance. 2. The Applicant has proposed to preserve the trees along the southern property line; however, it appears most of the trees are invasive species, in poor condition and should be removed in accordance with the newly adopted Tree Ordinance. They consist of Ailanthus, which is the favorite host of the invasive Spotted Lanternfly, as well as Black Locust, another highly invasive species. Our office recommends shifting the proposed fence to be located either closer to the proposed curb or closer to the southern property line, to provide additional planting area for an improved landscaped buffer. 3. In accordance with Section 25-12.1(0), provide shade trees to create 50% shade for the parking areas within twenty-five (25) years; whereas it does not appear the proposed landscaping will comply. ‘S:\Wesl Orange\Zoning Board\VWRZ0153 01 - MPB Really, LLC\24-10-31 MPB Realty - Review No. 1 docx
