Mr. Facchino confirmed yes. - Mr. Guarino asked regarding water runoff and eliminating impervious coverage, where would that excess water go during a major storm.

Mr Facchino stated he doesn’t believe so since it’s unknown who the owner of that culvert is. If it's town-owned, he believes they would be responsible for that pipe. ○ Mr. MacNeil added that since it's not an environmentally constrained area, they would not have to review in this case. However, the building department will need to review this at a later stage of the project - Mayor McCartney asked to clarify the lift regarding the tandem spaces.

Mr. Facchino confirmed native trees would be used and stated the Township Forester would review and approve the landscaping plan. - Council President Scarpa remained concerned about runoff from the steep slope and the brook running beneath the property.
