Vega Investments LLC (ZB-24-18) Our File No. 115.WRZ0134.V01 Preliminary & Final Major Site Plan with ‘C’ Page 3 and ‘D' Variances - Review #1 occupied by a 1-story masonry building with a partial basement and a detached 1-story frame shed. The balance of the property is a parking area which is currently being used as a contractor's storage yard. The Applicant previously applied to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for preliminary & final site plan approval with a D-1 use variance and several bulk variances (Application ZB-21-01) to renovate the existing building to add a residential use and to use a portion of the lot for commercial vehicle parking. We note that on April 20, 2023 the Zoning Board of Adjustment memorized a resolution which denied Application ZB-21-01. The Applicant now is seeking Preliminary & Final Major Site Plan approval with ‘C’ and ‘D’ Variance relief to renovate the existing 1-story building into a retail business which will contain 8 parking spaces including 1 handicap accessible parking space. In addition, curbing is proposed surrounding the entire parking lot. Landscaping is also proposed along the easterly property line, along the easterly half of the southerly property line, and along the southerly portion of the westerly property line. The stormwater runoff from the parking lot will be collected in an inlet located in the southeast corner of the parking lot and will be piped to an existing storm manhole in Franklin Avenue. B.

This discrepancy must be resolved. ‘S:\West Orange\Zoning Board\1 1 WRZ0134.V01 - M. Vega Investments, LLC\25-02-19 Review #1.docx aT
