Consulting & Municipal ENGINEERS ASSOCIATES: Chairman and Members of the West Orange Township Zoning Board December 3, 2025 Re: 127 Mitchell Street, LLC (ZB-25-08) Our File No. 115.WRZ0154.V01 Preliminary and Final Site Plan with ‘C’ and ‘D’ Variances - Review #1 Page 3 capabilities. Access is provided to the parking area via a proposed full movement driveway from Pleasant Valley Way. B. DESIGN COMMENTS 1. Based on our review, we find that the following items from the Township's Site Plan/Subdivision Checklist must be addressed: a) Item #14 — Affidavit of ownership. b) Item #45 - Landscape plan & details prepared by a professional Landscape Architect. c) Item #46 — Solid waste management plan. d) Item #52 — Plans and legal documents for compliance with West Orange COAH Ordinances. The Applicant has requested the following waiver from the Township’s Site Plan/Subdivision Checklist: a) Item #49 — Vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns. The Applicant should address the board regarding the existing building to remain and if any improvements are proposed to the same. The Applicant should address the Board regarding the proposed frequency and hours for deliveries to the site. The Applicant should provide testimony regarding the parking spaces associated with the residential component of the development. Clarification should be provided regarding whether each residential dwelling unit will have reserved parking spaces. The Applicant should clarify if Lot 11 and Lot 12 will be consolidated should the application be approved. The Drawing Index on the Area Map (sheet 1) should be revised to reflect the number of sheets within the plan set. Our office notes that the Drawing Index indicates 11 total sheets while only 9 sheets were submitted. This discrepancy should be resolved. It shows on the Site Plan (sheet 5) that a trash area is proposed in the easterly portion of the parking area. The Applicant should provide testimony to the Board to demonstrate that the proposed trash area will have adequate capacity to accommodate the trash and recyclables that will be generated at the site. Additionally, the plans should be revised to clarify if a trash enclosure will be installed.
