West Orange Zoning Board March 25, 2026 Re: Mavis Tire Supply, LLC Our File No. 115.WRZ0105.V01 Planning Review #2 Page 8 "\\EgnyteDrive\Artheon\Legacy\Howell-FS1\SEC\West Orange\Zoning Board\115.WRZ0105.V01 - Mavis Tire Supply, LLC\26-03-06 Mavis Tire-Planning Review 2.docx" compliance with the required minimum number of parking spaces through credits for the EV space(s). k. We note that it appears that each of the neighboring commercial uses comply with this requirement, with the buildings located closer to Prospect Avenue and parking in the rear. l. Will there be any differentiation between employee parking and customer parking? The applicant should clarify. m. The applicant has requested a variance for having the drive aisle setback as 0 feet from a side yard where 5 feet is required. We note that the property’s southern side lot line is actually the centerline of Blueberry Bend, a private road, making any drive aisle providing access to the roadway technically in violation of the code. n. It does not appear that any sidewalk is proposed for the Prospect Avenue frontage of the site. While this is an existing condition, we note that there is sidewalk along the frontage immediately north of this site, and to the south as well. This property and the immediate neighbor to the south represent an existing gap in the sidewalk network that could be partially addressed through this development. The applicant has updated the design to provide concrete sidewalks along the site frontage within the right of way. o. The applicant should address the location of the trash/recycling enclosure and whether the cement walls will abut the principal building. The applicant has relocated the trash enclosure to be 15’ away from the principal building. p. The applicant should provide testimony regarding the lack of loading spaces. The applicant should also provide insight into the process for deliveries and pick up of goods, and the anticipated frequency of such deliveries. q. The applicant should address tire storage and removal. What happens with used tires removed from vehicles, and how are they stored and removed from the site? r. No roof plan has been provided. The applicant should confirm that no mechanical equipment on the roof would be visible from the public ROW, or from residential properties to the rear of the site. Any rooftop equipment is required to be screened. s.

ould confirm that no mechanical equipment on the roof would be visible from the public ROW, or from residential properties to the rear of the site. Any rooftop equipment is required to be screened. s. A chain link fence exists in between the site and the residences to the east, which appears to be on the residential properties. The applicant may wish to consider the installation of a solid privacy fence in lieu of the chain link fence to serve as a visual barrier between the uses. The applicant has now proposed to save the existing trees and proposed plantings along the eastern property line. A solid privacy fence in addition to these efforts may be still be warranted. t. The applicant should address anticipated noise impacts from the service bays, in particular in regards to the impacts on the adjacent residential uses to the east.
