The applicant proposes to install four make-ready parking spaces where none are required. a. The applicant shall confirm that each entrance or exit from such parking area shall be at least 50 feet from any residential district.

The applicant anticipates 2-3 deliveries daily. d.

The parking calculations within the Site Plan drawing set shall be revised per the table above; as 187 physical spaces are proposed, the EV bonus creates a total of 191 spaces. Sheet C-301 has been revised to provide an updated parking count based on layout changes. There are 184 physical spaces provided, but utilizing the ‘double counting’ as permitted in the Township of West Orange EVSE Ordinance, the four (4) make-ready electric vehicle charging stations count as eight (8) for a total of 188 parking spaces towards zoning compliance. e.

A total of 103 existing parking spaces are non-compliant with the township requirement for parking stall size. Of these 103 parking spaces, 50 will be removed and replaced with compliant parking stalls, where 53 will remain. f. Per State EV

Per State EV ordinance 8 make ready spaces are required to be provided. The plan only provides 4 spaces. This needs to be revised since no variance can be granted in the required number of EV spaces.
