9 ○ He believed those 26 spaces are located in the front and explained that those spaces, along with another 29 spaces, were all part of the Phase 1 plan. - Mr. Petry stated that if the board determines that variances are necessary for those spaces despite their inclusion in Phase 1, he would provide proofs for the variances. - He emphasized that the landscaping within those parking lots is being improved through the addition of landscape islands. - Mr. Petry also discussed the parking along the common property line with the hotel. - He identified 22 to 28 existing spaces in that area and stated that those spaces are existing, with the project only reconfiguring Lot C in that location. ○ Mr. Petry said that if the board considers those spaces to require variances, he will also provide proof for those variances. - Mr. Petry stated that if the board is hesitant to grant the variances, the applicant will add islands and reduce the parking count. - He reminded the board that the project is increasing parking by 15 spaces, so even if several spaces are removed to accommodate additional islands, the property would still increase its parking count by approximately 10 spaces. - Mr. Petry then addressed the driveways and explained that the project needed to confirm their configuration. - The northerly driveway from Prospect Avenue to the parking lot functions as an ingress driveway and is one-way into the site. - Mr. Petry explained that from the northerly driveway to the parking lot intersection, traffic is one-way entering the property. - From the drop-off area at the front doors of the Manor, where Lot B intersects the driveway, traffic traveling east uses an exit driveway. ○ Mr. Petry emphasized that the eastern driveway has always been one-way out and will remain one-way out. - The purpose of the configuration is to allow people arriving for a banquet to queue without backing out onto the road. - The configuration also allows vehicles to queue without having incoming and outgoing traffic interfere with one another, with left-turn traffic able to form one lane and right- turn traffic able to form another. - Mr. Petry stated that this is how the property has always operated and that the project has improved the condition by increasing the flat area at the top of the driveway. - Mr. Petry then discussed several other existing conditions and potential variances. -

operated and that the project has improved the condition by increasing the flat area at the top of the driveway. - Mr. Petry then discussed several other existing conditions and potential variances. - He addressed a new stormwater management ordinance that was adopted in May 2025. - Mr. Petry explained that the new ordinance requires storage for 50% of the existing stormwater runoff for the two-year storm. - He stated that he was not certain whether the ordinance applies because the current proposal is a modification to an application that was filed before the ordinance was adopted. - If the ordinance is applicable, Mr. Petry argued that the project is making significant improvements to stormwater runoff conditions because impervious coverage is being reduced. - Mr. Petry emphasized that although this is a major development, the project will reduce stormwater runoff in every storm and will reduce the total volume of runoff, not simply the peak runoff. - He explained that while detention can prevent an increase in peak runoff, this project will actually decrease both the peak and the total volume of runoff. - Mr. Petry then discussed the gazebo as another potential variance.
