—. Consulting & Municipal ENGINEERS ASSOCIATES Chairman and Members of the West Orange Township Zoning Board September 29, 2025 Re: Mavis Tire Supply, LLC (ZB-25-07) Our File No. 115.WRZ0105.V01 (60001) Preliminary & Final Major Site Plan with ‘C’ & ‘D’ Page 6 Variances and Tree Removal Permit - Review #1 4. The ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey and the Demolition Plan (sheet 4) show a paved over grate in the existing driveway from Prospect Avenue. However, this grate and any associated piping is not shown on the Drainage & Utility Plan (sheet 7). The plans should be revised to show the existing grate and piping and to clarify the future plans for this grate and piping. D. LANDSCAPING COMMENTS 1. The existing shrubs along the landscape wall near the stop bar at Prospect Avenue are not indicated on the plans if they are to be removed or maintained. We recommend this shrub grouping be removed due to consisting of barberry, a highly invasive species. Revise the plans to shift proposed shade trees further away from curbs, where possible. Also, our office does not recommend providing a shade tree next to the existing Norway Spruce tree, due to spatial constraints. It appears three (3) TA (Basswood) can be provided along Prospect Avenue. Additionally, provide two (2) QA (White Oak) along the parking stalls fronting Blueberry Bend, rather than within the small parking lot island at the end of the row. The Applicant has proposed SA (Sassafras) within the buffer. This species is difficult to source at the size proposed as it is not a commercially grown tree. An alternative NJ native deciduous tree should be provided. Revise the plans to provide a grouping of evergreen shrubs within the parking island directly south of the proposed trash enclosure, for enhanced screening. Revise the ‘Landscape Schedule’ on sheet 8 to indicate if the proposed ornamental trees are to be single or multi-stem. Single stem trees should be specified by caliper size. Also, indicate a minimum planting size of 18” height or spread for all proposed shrubs, including RAGL (Grow-low Sumac), JHBH (Bar Harbor Juniper) and AMGH (Ground Hug Chokeberry). E.

s shifting proposed S1(FM) towards the entrance drive to ensure this area is adequately illuminated. The Applicant has proposed wallpack type building mounted light fixtures; however, our office does not find these to be acceptable. Plans should be revised to provide a full cut- off fixture to reduce glare. Review and revise the plans to indicate isolux patterns and details, to include a scale and graph, for further review. Revise the ‘Area Light Foundation Detail’ on sheet 11 to indicate a concrete strength of 4,500 PSI. Currently, 4,000 PSI is indicated on the plans. Revise the plans to provide the catalog cuts for all proposed light poles and fixtures, for further review. Also, include ordering information for the proposed light pole. Revise the plans to indicate proposed color and finish for all fixtures and poles. ‘S:\West Orange\Zoning Board\1 15 WRZ0105 V01 - Mavis Tire Supply, LLC\25-09-29 Review #1.docx
