25 09 12 MPB Realty Planning Review 3

West Orange Zoning Board September 12, 2025 Re: MPB Realty (Popeyes & IHOP) Our File No. WRZ0153.V01 Planning Review #3 Page 10 S:\West Orange\Zoning Board\VWRZ0153.01 - MPB Realty, LLC\25-09-12 MPB Realty - Planning Review 3.docx a new fence is also proposed in the area, and some trees are proposed to be planted in between the fences. iv. In general, we have concerns about maintenance in the rear yard area. Having two fences along the same property line with what appears to be as little as 3 feet of space between them may create an area where maintenance will be difficult at best, and is unlikely to occur. The revised plans indicate that the existing fence is to be removed, and only one fence will now be located between the two properties. k. There are no sidewalks proposed for Rosney Terrace ROW. The applicant should address the potential to include sidewalks on this street. We note that no sidewalks currently existing along this frontage or elsewhere down the street. A sidewalk is now proposed within the Rosney Terrace ROW. l. A detail is included in the site plan package for a “drive-thru canopy with speaker and conference board”. It is not clear what is intended by the “conf board” portion of this structure. This is not noted to be a menu board, and the speaker is relatively small at the base of the structure. Will there be any messages or signage attached to the face of the structure? Other than the speaker and the canopy, the structure is a +/- 40 s.f. wall. The applicant has clarified that this is not a “conference board” and is only a canopy above the speaker. m. We defer any comment on grading, drainage, utilities, and stormwater management to the Board Engineer. n. The applicant should address the status of any necessary outside agency approvals. If you have any questions about this report, please do not hesitate to reach out to our office. Sincerely, CME Associates Christopher N.
