He stated that although the Applicant will be using pavers which are partially pervious that the ordinance does not recognize that they are permeable. He stated that the new drive will improve circulation, improve safety for pedestrian and vehicular traffic and the new connector will also be a visual improvement. He opined that the proposed improvements offer no substantial detriment to the public good or impairment of the intent and purpose of the zone plan. 5. Scott Winger was sworn and qualified as an expert in architecture. He stated that the intent of the improvements was to maintain the Colonial style architecture of the buildings.
