[V. APPLICATION ]
ITEM IS AN APPLICATION. IT'S CASE PB DASH 06-23. THE APPLICANT IS CHARBEL BUILDING COMPANY LLC. I HAD KNOWN AS MONTGOMERY CROSSING. IT'S BLOCKED 28 009 LOTS 12 AND THREE ON VILLAGE DRIVE. THIS IS AN AMENDED PRELIMINARY AND FINAL MAJOR SITE PLAN, WITH BOTH VARIANCES TO CONTRACT TO CONSTRUCT 20 STACK TOWN HOMES INSTEAD OF THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED 40 UNIT CONDOMINIUM BUILDING. THE EXPIRATION DATE IS 12, 13 2023 AND AN AFFIDAVIT AN AFFIDAVIT OF NOTIFICATION IN PUBLIC PUBLICATION. IS REQUIRED. AND FOR THE APPLICANT WE HAVE.GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS FRANK PETRINO WITH A LOT OF AFFIRMATIVE, ECKERT SEAMANS. WE REPRESENT THE APPLICANT. WE DID SUBMIT AN AFFIDAVIT OF PUBLICATION AND PROOF OF SERVICE AND ABOARD. I BELIEVE THE BOARD HAS JURISDICTION TO HEAR THIS MATTER. CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU. UM. YOU HAVE GENERALLY LAID OUT THE PARAMETERS OF THE BEGINNING OF MY INTRO. SO UH, JUST MENTIONED THAT THE OVERALL SITE IS 5.5 ACRES. YOU MENTIONED. IT'S THREE LOTS. ONLY LOT TWO IS BEING, UH DEVELOPED AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION LOTS ONE AND THREE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED HAVE EXISTING DETENTION BASINS ON THEM, BUT THEY WERE QUITE OF PHASE ONE A.M. OF MONTGOMERY CROSSING AS YOU MENTIONED. IT WAS APPROVED AS A 40 UNIT. MULTI FAMILY APARTMENT BUILDING. WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS TO, UM. ON LOT TWO IS 20 STACK MODEL FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN TWO BUILDINGS. 56 PARKING SPACES, AND WE DO HAVE THE REQUISITE UM E VSC SPACES OF THE 56 BASES, 16 WILL BE SURFACED. PARKING SPACES. THERE ARE THE RELATED SITE IMPROVEMENTS, LIGHTING LANDSCAPING. WE DO HAVE A SEATING AREA. THAT YOU'LL HEAR
[00:10:02]
ABOUT. WE HAVE ONE VARIANCE THAT WE'RE REQUESTING. AND THAT IS SUPER. IT'S STACKED MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN TWO BUILDINGS WHERE ONE BUILDING IS PERMITTED WITH THIS APPLICATION.UM. SO OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A REDUCTION IN UNITS FROM 40 TO 20 UNITS THEMSELVES INDIVIDUAL, YOU'D BE SOMEWHAT LARGER. WE HAVEN'T LESS IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE. WE GO FROM 35% TO 20.
AND WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY ADDITIONAL OPEN SPACE. AND WE HAVE FEWER PARKING SPACES. I THINK THE PRIOR APPROVAL WAS 82 PARKING SPACES. THIS APPROVAL IS 56. UM . YOU'RE PROFESSIONALS HAVE INDICATED IN EARLIER REPORTS ALL THE MATERIALS ON FILE SO WE DON'T NEED TO GO THROUGH THAT WE DID RECEIVE A NUMBER OF REVIEW MEMORANDA. I THINK A TOTAL OF EIGHT FROM VARIOUS FOLKS ON BEHALF OF THE TOWNSHIP INCLUDING THE GENTLEMAN HERE, UM I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE ANY DESIGN WAIVERS ARE EXCEPTIONS REQUESTED. OUR APPLICATION INCLUDED CATCH ALL PHRASE IF WE NEEDED MORE THAN SITE PLAN APPROVAL AND THE ONE VARIANCE, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OTHER VARIANCES, UH, MENTIONED NOW WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER PERMITS AND APPROVALS THAT ARE PENDING. UM WE HAVE THE SOMERSET COUNTY PLANNING BOARD. WE EXPECT THE LETTER OF NO INTEREST THE SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT. WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED THE CERTIFICATION. UM YOU KNOW, OUR CANAL COMMISSION WE DID RECEIVE A STAFF REPORT DATED AUGUST 1ST . UM, NO REAL COMMENTS.
CERTAINLY NO STORM ORDER COMMENTS, WHICH IS USUALLY THE I GUESS YOU FOR THEM. UM WE WILL GET THEIR APPROVAL WHEN AND IF THIS BOARD GRANTS THE APPROVAL WE'RE HERE TONIGHT FOR AND WE GIVE THEM A RESOLUTION, UH, NEW JERSEY, AMERICAN WORKING WITH THEM FOR WATER. AND MONTGOMERY SORE. WHICH I ASSUME IS. TYPICALLY YOUR CONDITION OF APPROVAL. NOW WE HAVE A PACKAGE OF THE EXHIBITS, AND I'VE DISCUSSED THIS WITH THIS, CASEY, UM AND, UM. I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH AND JUST LIST THEM THAT WAY. IT'S EASIER FOR NOW. WE MAY OR MAY NOT SEE ALL OF THEM, BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT'S IN THE PACKET. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, AND I'M NOT AN I T. I THINK WE HAVE A THUMB DRIVE THAT HAS EVERYTHING AS WELL THAT WE GAVE TO THE TOWN. SO THE FIRST EXHIBIT THAT WE HAVE, AND IT'S ONE PAGES. THE AERIAL EXHIBIT THAT'S UP. WE THEN HAVE A SITE PLAN, RENDERING WE HAVE AN OVERALL PHASING PLAN. WE HAVE ANOTHER PLAN THAT SOUNDS SIMILAR OVERALL SITE PLAN. WE HAVE A MULTIFAMILY CONVERSION OVERLAY EXHIBIT. WE HAVE BUILDING ELEVATIONS. THREE SHEETS, UM UH , WE HAVE VARIOUS PICTURES. THERE ARE FOUR PICTURES IN THE OVERALL PACKET. UM WE HAVE A PLAN THAT SHOWS PEDESTRIAN FLASHERS AND CROSSWALKS. WE HAVE LANDSCAPING UPSIZING EXHIBIT THAT MEANS WE HAVE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING. THAT'S TWO SHEETS.
WE HAVE A BUILDING ELEVATION SHOWING SHALL WE? SOLAR PANELS? WE HAVE PICTURES OF THE PLAYGROUND. THAT'S TWO SHEETS. FINAL PAVING SCHEDULE. WE HAVE COMBINED BUILDING ELEVATIONS FOR SHEETS, UH, STACKED CONDO BUILDING FLOOR PANS, SEVEN SHEETS. PERSPECTIVE VIEW SEVEN SHEETS AND THEN WE HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL BUILDING ELEVATIONS THAT ARE AT THE END OF THE OVERALL PACKAGE OF, UM EXHIBITS. TONIGHT WE HAVE, UM FOUR. FOR WITNESSES AND ONE PERSON AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. IF THEY COME UP. I'M NOT SURE THEY WILL. BUT ARE FOUR WITNESSES OR TOM TROY. WHO YOU BEFORE THIS BOARD. UH. UH JEFF HABERMAN, OR PROJECT ENGINEER FROM DYNAMIC MARK CONNOLLY, WHO YOU'VE SEEN MANY TALYN'S BEFORE OUR PROJECT PLANNER. JACK BREAKER FROM MINIMUM WASCO. HE IS OUR ARCHITECT. NICK VERDERY SEE FROM DYNAMIC WHO TESTIFIED BACK IN I GUESS IT WAS JULY OF 2018 WHEN THIS OVERALL MONTGOMERY CROSSING PLAN
[00:15:06]
DEVELOPMENT WAS APPROVED. AND PART OF THAT APPROVAL WAS THE 40 UNIT. MULTI FAMILY APARTMENT BUILDING. HE TESTIFIED THEN. UM I DON'T THINK, UH, I COULD BE WRONG. I DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE A NEED FOR, UM, TRAFFIC TESTIMONY. BUT IF THERE IS, HE'S HEARING CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS. SO UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME I'D ASK MR TROY TO COME FORWARD, BE SWORN AND TALK TO THE BOARD. MR PETRINO. WE WILL COLLECTIVELY THEN CONSIDER AH, ALL THE PAGES YOU'VE IDENTIFIED AS EXHIBIT A ONE A ONE. THANK YOU. GET OUT OF YOUR WAY. MR TROY WILL SWEAR YOU IN. DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM YOUR TESTIMONY THIS EVENING WILL BE TRUTHFUL. I DO. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MR CHAIRMAN. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I'VE SEEN SOME OF YOU BEFORE. SOME OF YOU. TIMES BEFORE. MR MATTHEWS. I THINK HE WAS THE FIRST GUY I MET ANYWAY. THANK YOU FOR HEARING US TONIGHT. UM FRANK HAS GIVEN YOU THE OVERVIEW OF HOW THIS HAPPENED, CATION AH! SHOULD MOVE THROUGH TONIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF EXPLAIN THE RATIONALE WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL AS TO WHY WE'RE HERE. UM, WHEN WE GOT OUR APPROVAL UH, I WANT TO SAY IT WAS 2017 OR 18 MAY BE WRONG. 18 THANKS. UM, THE EXISTING, UH. AFFORDABLE BUILDING. MARK CAN YOU PUT POINT OUT THE PEARL SITE? ON THAT. NO. NO NO, NO PROCESS PROCESS. THERE YOU GO. THAT PARCEL THAT PARCEL WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNATED FOR OFFICE BUILDING. I THINK SOMEWHERE 30,000 SQUARE FEET. UM YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT SANITARY. BUT COULD YOU PULL THE MICROPHONE? SURE YEAH, JUST WE CAN HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE SOMEBODY TOLD ME I WASN'T SPEAKING LOUD ENOUGH , BUT THANK YOU, UM I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF DO A LITTLE TIMELINE ON THIS QUICKLY. THAT SITE WAS ORIGINALLY WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THE ENTIRE PROPERTY , WHICH CONSISTED OF THE TAPESTRY AND THE HILLSIDE PROPERTY. THAT PARCEL HAD A, UH AND INTENDED USE FOR OFFICE AND DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET. THAT PARCEL HAD AN INTENDED USE FOR A ASSISTED LIVING, WHICH YOU'VE SEEN THAT APPLICANT RECENTLY AND I BELIEVE THEY'RE ABOUT READY TO MOVE. FORWARD TO VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION FAIRLY SOON, HOWEVER, THE OFFICE PARCEL AS WE MOVE THROUGH, UH, TAPESTRY AND HILLSIDE. WE STARTED TO REALLY LOOK AT WHAT COULD WORK THERE AND BECAUSE IT'S NOT DIRECTLY ON 5 18 BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BIT, UH, YOU KNOW, INTERNALIZED. WE DIDN'T REALLY SEE IT HAVING THE MARKET POTENTIAL FOR AN OFFICE.COMMUNITY ARE AN OFFICE PROPERTY , SO WE TALKED TO THE TOWN AT THAT TIME ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WE COULD DO AN ALTERNATIVE USE THERE AND WE CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION WHERE WE FELT WE COULD BUILD ABOUT 80 UNITS THERE, 40 OF WHICH WOULD BE MARKET RATE AND 40 OF WHICH WOULD BE, UH ADRI STRAIGHT AND IDEAS, INCOME RESTRICTED. OH, UNITS, AND THAT WAS THE THINKING BETWEEN THAT TIME AND NOW WE HAD THEN ACQUIRED THE FORMER KEPT HER TRIGO PROPERTY WHERE MONTGOMERY CROSSING IS NOW AND WE TALKED WITH THE TOWN. UM I DIDN'T SEE LAURIE HERE TONIGHT, BUT THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WE COULD LET THE FORMER OFFICE SITE BE MORE CO UNITS. I SAID I DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, AS LONG AS WE KEPT THE 40 MARKET RATE UNITS AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE ON THE PROPERTY THAT LED TO THE GENESIS OF THE CURRENTLY APPROVED 40 UNIT BUILDING. ON THE SITE THAT WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT. UM AND YOU KNOW, UP UNTIL ABOUT A YEAR AGO, WE WERE QUITE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT PRODUCT BEING THERE, BUT BEFORE WE MOVED INTO THE FINALIZATION OF THAT PLAN WE LOOKED AROUND AND SINCE WHATEVER IT WAS 17 OR 18, I SAID, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE OTHER MULTI FAMILY PROPERTIES THAT ARE IN THE AREA
[00:20:01]
AND THE THING THAT WE FELT? MHM JUSTIFIED THE CHANGE THAT WE'RE MAKING NOW OR PROPOSING IS THAT SINCE OUR PROJECT WAS APPROVED THE ADJACENT I GUESS IT'S THE VILLAGE SHOPPER MONTGOMERY WALKERS. IT'S CALLED VILLAGE WALK, UH, THE PUBLICITY FOLKS HAVE PROPOSED AND I THINK THERE ARE APPROVED. A MIXED USE BUILDING THAT'S GOT RETAIL ON THE GROUND FLOOR AND THEN 58 OR 59. MULTI FAMILY FLATS ABOVE. THAT WAS ONE REASON WHY I SAID, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE DON'T NECESSARILY NEED TO BUILD THAT MANY MORE UNITS, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, ACROSS THE STREET.IS I GUESS IT'S COUNTRY CROSSING THEY HAVE ABOUT 150. SOME UH MULTI FAMILY 115 MULTI FAMILY UNITS GOING THERE, AND THEY'RE YOU KNOW, PRETTY FAR ALONG NOW. I JUST DROVE IT LITTLE WHILE AGO . UH SO I SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? MAYBE WE SHOULD LOOK AT THAT PIECE AND TRY AND DO SOMETHING THAT YES, IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DENSE THAN WHAT WE'VE ALREADY BUILT IN MONTGOMERY CROSSING, BUT I THINK IT'S A MUCH NICER TRANSITION FROM WHAT'S THERE, GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES. AND AT THIS POINT, YOU KNOW, THERE ISN'T MUCH LEFT THAT THAT IS POTENTIALLY REDEVELOP A BLE IN MY MIND. I KNOW YOU'VE GOT A DAYCARE COMING IN AT AND THAT INSIDE OF THE BRACKNELL LOOP, BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT MUCH LIKELIHOOD FOR MUCH MORE DEVELOPMENT AT ANY SCALE HAPPENING IN IN THIS QUADRANT OF TOWN, SO I SAID, YOU KNOW, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT . UM MOST DEVELOPERS WOULD NEVER . CONCEDE GIVING UP ONE UNIT MORE, MUCH LESS HALF, BUT WE LOOKED AT THE PRODUCT HERE. WE THINK IT FITS BETTER OFFERS A PRODUCT. THAT'S RELATIVE TO THE MARKET. AH FOR THE EXISTING TOWN HOMES IN MONTGOMERY CROSSING. IT ALLOWS US TO BRING A PRODUCT IN AT A LITTLE BIT MORE AFFORDABLE PRICE POINT, WHICH IS IMPORTANT TODAY. UH BUT IT ALSO I THINK FROM A SCALE AND, UH AND, UH, RELATIONSHIP PERSPECTIVE AND CERTAINLY, FROM AN ARCHITECTURAL PERSPECTIVE. WE THINK WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE MAKES A LOT MORE SENSE THAN WHAT WE HAD.
PREVIOUSLY GOTTEN APPROVED. THAT'S THE THAT'S THE REAL GENESIS OF WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT. I UNDERSTAND AND YOU HEAR MORE FROM THIS MORE ON EITHER THE ALL THESE DETAILS FROM OUR PROFESSIONALS, BUT I UNDERSTAND THROUGH THE TRC MEANING HAPPENED A MONTH OR TWO AGO. BUT THERE WERE THREE OR FOUR MAJOR CONCERNS THAT THAT CAME OUT. ONE OF THEM REALLY DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH OUR PROJECT, BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THE SAME PAROLE APARTMENT PROJECT HAS A FAIR NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO USE WHEELCHAIRS TO GET AROUND AND THERE UH, THEIR CIRCULATION IS BASICALLY TO COME DOWN HARTWICK THROUGH THE PROJECT TO GET OVER TO ULTIMATELY TO THE TO THE VILLAGE WALK PROPERTY. WE KNOW THERE'S SOME RETAIL THERE NOW IS A STARBUCKS IN THERE NOW AND ULTIMATELY, THERE WILL BE, YOU KNOW MORE. MORE SERVICES AND RETAILERS THERE, SO WE WERE INVITED BY THE DEPUTY MAYOR, I THINK AND SOME OF THE OTHER FOLKS, UM, TO ATTEND. A MEETING WITH THE RESIDENTS OF THAT PROPERTY, AND WE LISTENED AND TALKED TO A NUMBER OF THEM AND THERE WERE SOME LEGITIMATE CONCERNS RAISED ONE BEING THE SAFETY OF THAT INTERSECTION OF HARTWICK AND VILLAGE DRIVE. UM THIS PLAN THIS APPLICATION PROPOSES FOR, UM. QUOTE AT EACH CORNER, PUTTING IN FOUR OF THE FLASHING PEDESTRIAN CROSSING. AH SIGNALS AND CROSSWALK, MY RIGHT MARK FOR A CROSSWALK DETAIL OF THAT WE CAN LOOK AT YOU WANT TO GET TO YOU GUYS GET TO IT LATER. SO THAT'S THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE THAT WE HEARD COMING OUT OF THE TRC MEETING. UM RELATIVE TO THAT. THERE ARE ALSO SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE ALONG EAST HARTWICK TO COMPLETE THE A. D A ROUTE AND ACCESSIBILITY FOR FOLKS WHO DO USE THAT PORTION OF THE ROAD TO GET DOWN TO THE TO THE, UH SO THE RETAIL THERE AND ULTIMATELY ACROSS THE STREET. I GUESS I HEARD SOME COMMENTS ABOUT PEOPLE CROSSING 206 AS WELL THAT MEETING SOME OF YOU MAY BE AWARE THAT BRICK MILL UH , ROAD OUR PORTION OF THAT WHICH
[00:25:01]
RUNS PRETTY MUCH FROM THERE OVER TO THE PEACE THAT THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU. MARK. THAT PIECE IS PRETTY MUCH DONE. THE PAVEMENT IS DONE. SIGNS ARE IN I BELIEVE ALL THE SIDEWALKS ARE IN THIS.THE PAVEMENT STRIPING IS BEING DONE AS I UNDERSTAND IT FROM OUR CONSTRUCTION FOLKS THIS WEEK AND THEN WE WILL CALL THE COUNTY FOR AH, THEIR REVIEW OF THE COUNTY ACCESS AT 5 18 AND ULTIMATELY WILL REVIEW WITH YOUR TOWN ENGINEER. THE DEDICATION OF THAT PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE. SO YOU KNOW, WE THINK THAT THAT WILL GO A LONG WAY AND ALSO ADDRESSING SOME OF THE SAFETY CONCERNS NOT ONLY OF THE RESIDENTS IN MONTGOMERY CROSSING, BUT SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS AS WELL, UM. ONE OF THE OTHER ISSUES THAT CAME UP AT TRC WAS THE POTENTIAL FOR US TO INCLUDE SOME SORT OF, UH EITHER SOLAR OR GREEN ENERGY. WE LOOKED AT HOW THAT COULD WORK. AND, FRANKLY, THESE TWO BUILDINGS OR. YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD A BUILDING TO TAKE SOLAR, YOU WANT AS MUCH OF THE ROOF AS POSSIBLE TO FACE SOUTH. THESE TWO BUILDINGS ARE EXACTLY THOSE THAT TYPE OF CANDIDATE WE'VE ACCOMMODATED ON BOTH OF THOSE BUILDINGS, UH, SOLAR PANELS ON THE ROOF FACING SOUTH, YOU'LL SEE THAT ON OUR ARCHITECTURAL PACKAGE LATER AND BECAUSE THESE ARE CONDOS, UH, THE BENEFICIARY OF THAT ENERGY WILL BE THE COMMON ELEMENTS. THE COMMON LIGHTING FOR THE PARKING LOTS WERE PUTTING IN SOME E V. CHARGERS IN THE BACK ON THIS, THE ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES AND THERE'S SOME LIGHTING IN THAT INTERNAL COURTYARD. THE COMMON ELECTRICAL WILL BE THE BENEFICIARY OF THAT SOLAR, SO IT'S NOT ONE PERSON EITHER DOING IT OR NOT DOING IT THAT WE'RE DOING IT AS PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION. IT'S NOT A MATTER OF WHETHER IT'S AN OPTION OR YOU SEE ONE MISSING FROM ONE ROOF OR NOT, BECAUSE IT'S A CONDOMINIUM . WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO INCLUDE THAT THAT WAY. SO WE THINK THAT WAS, UM, RESPONSIVE TO THE OTHER ONE OF THE OTHER CONCERNS. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT PROBABLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCERNS WAS THE, UH KAT LOT. THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED AND WE'RE ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH WITH IT. WE HAVEN'T INSTALLED THE PLAY EQUIPMENT YET . BUT ALL THE OTHER PREP WORK IS DONE IN THAT LOCATION. THERE WAS SOME CONCERN ABOUT WHETHER THAT COULDN'T BE MOVED FOR CONCERNS ABOUT SAFETY, LEGITIMATE CONCERNS ABOUT THE FACT THAT VILLAGE ROAD WILL WILL ULTIMATELY CONNECT OUT TO 206. UM THE TIMING OF THAT REQUEST.
WAS SUCH THAT WE HAD TO GO BACK. TO THE MONTGOMERY CROSSING HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION, BECAUSE.
AT THIS POINT, WE ONLY OWN SIX OF THOSE UNITS. WE'VE SOLD PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE REMAINING 101 OR ARE OWNER OCCUPIED AT THIS POINT, AND FRANKLY, WE PRETTY MUCH DON'T EVEN HAVE A SEAT ON THE BOARD. AND ONCE WE SELL THOSE LAST SIX OR WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE THE DECLARING SPONSORSHIP MAJORITY THAT WE WOULD HAVE HAD, YOU KNOW, TWO YEARS. PREVIOUS TO THIS, SO WE HAD WE HAD NO CHOICE AND, FRANKLY, MORALLY, I THINK IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO GO BACK TO THE TO THE ASSOCIATION AND SAY, LOOK, WHAT DO YOU FOLKS THINK ABOUT THIS? WE HAD A ZOOM MEETING WITH THEM. I WANT TO SAY A WEEK AND A HALF AGO WE SUBMITTED SOME PRETTY DETAILED GRAPHIC. UH, EXHIBITS THAT I THINK ACCURATELY DEPICTED WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND UM. FOR US. IT WAS REALLY A QUESTION OF WHERE DO YOU GUYS WANT IT? NOT SO MUCH. WHETHER WE DO IT OR NOT, WE'RE GOING TO DO IT. THE EQUIPMENTS ORDERED AND ALL RIGHT. PRETTY SOON. IT'S GOING TO BE DELIVERED AS I UNDERSTAND IT, BUT WE PROPOSED PUTTING IT WHERE MARK HAS THE CURSOR RIGHT NOW AND THE CENTRAL PANEL OF THAT PARK AND WE THOUGHT WE TREATED IT PROPERLY WITH SOME SCREENING AND FENCING AND WHATNOT. AND, UM PUT IT THERE. UM. I WILL SAY THAT THE RESPONSE FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF THE 36 33 OR 36 HOMEOWNERS WHO WERE ON THAT ZOOM QUAL. THERE WAS ZERO, NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT ZERO RESIDENTS WHO WERE IN FAVOR OF MOVING IT FROM THE CURRENT PROPOSED LOCATION OR CURRENT APPROVED LOCATION TO WHERE WE WERE PROPOSING IT SO YOU KNOW THAT BEING THE CASE, WE WENT BACK AND SAID, OKAY, WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE RELATIVE TO TRAFFIC SAFETY BECAUSE OF THE CONCERN. THAT THE TOWN HAS. WE ARE INCLUDING AND HAD INCLUDED PREVIOUSLY. ON UNDER THE PRIOR
[00:30:02]
PLAN, OR THE CURRENT PLAN. I SHOULD SAY THERE'S CROSSWALKS AGAIN AND FLASHERS. ON BOTH SIDES OF VILLAGE DRIVE IN FRONT OF THE MULTI FAMILY BUILDINGS, SO THAT WOULD AGAIN I THINK SERVE AS A TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURE. SINCE THE MEETING WITH THE H O A. MYLEAGUE MARK AND I HAVE LOOKED AT THIS PLAN AND WE BELIEVE THAT ONE MORE LOCATION RIGHT THERE AT CAM WORTH AND VILLAGE WARRANTS A SIMILAR TREATMENT TO WHAT WE'RE DOING, AND THE OTHER TWO LOCATIONS UP AT THE OTHER END OF HARTWICK AND VILLAGE AND IN FRONT OF THE MULTIFORM, SO WE'RE PROPOSING THREE SERIES OF FLASHING PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS. UM. IN THAT LOCATION. I THINK WE'RE DOING SOME PAVEMENT TREATMENT IN FRONT OF THE MULTI FAMILY BUILDING. THE ACT AS A TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICE AS WELL. AND BEYOND THAT, I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT ELSE WE COULD. WE COULD REALLY OFFER AS A MEANS OF MITIGATING THE CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED RELATIVE TO THE LOCATION OF THAT OF THAT TOT LOT FACILITY. THE OAS MAIN REASON FOR NOT WANTING THE MOVE FOR THE MOST PART. WAS THERE A MAIN REASON I WOULDN'T SAY THERE WAS ONE REASON I THINK, AND IT WASN'T JUST THE FACT THAT LOOK FOR THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE UNITS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. FROM THAT. I COULD SAY THAT THEY MIGHT BE CONCERNED, AND I'M SURE THERE WERE SOME THAT WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. BUT YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SOME PEOPLE, IT'S WAY MORE THAN THOSE FEW LOTS THAT ARE THERE ARE SIX OF THOSE UNITS AREN'T EVEN SOLD THEIR OCCUPIED YET, SO THERE'S I THINK 14. MEMBER UNITS THAT FACE THAT PARK THAT ARE OWNER OCCUPIED. SO THERE WERE MORE THAN THAT NUMBER OF OTHER RESIDENTS WHO WEREN'T AFFECTED VISUALLY BY IT. UM YOU KNOW, THERE WERE CONCERNS ABOUT THAT PARK BEING MORE PASSIVE, LESS ACTIVE. THERE WERE CONCERNS ABOUT UH, PEOPLE COMING FROM THE OTHER MULTI FAMILY UNITS, WHETHER THEY'RE THE 40 THAT ARE CURRENTLY APPROVED OR THE 20 THAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO CROSS VILLAGE DRIVE, SO THAT WOULD BE A KIND OF A TRAFFIC SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. I DON'T KNOW, AND I'M NOT GOING TO SAY I AGREE WITH ALL THE COMMENTS WE HEARD, BUT THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT THAT WE HEARD. I DON'T REALLY CAN'T TELL YOU, MR CHAIRMAN, THAT THERE WAS ONE SPECIFIC REASON. BUT THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS RAISED. AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE OFFERED THAT PROPOSAL TO THE TO THE H O A. AND THE ANSWER WAS NO, I THINK DID THEY EVER DO A FORMAL, UH, TOMORROW TOMORROW? OKAY, SO THERE IS A MEETING AS WE UNDERSTAND IT TOMORROW OF THE H O A. TO FORMALIZE THIS. THEY'RE DOING THEY TAKING IT THROUGH THEIR PROCEDURES, THEIR BYLAWS GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT, SO, BUT I'D BE SURPRISED IF THE DECISION CHANGED BETWEEN THE ZOOM MEETING AND NOT, YOU NEVER KNOW, BUT ANYWAY, OUR POSITION OUR POSITION RESPECTFULLY IS THAT WE'LL PUT IT WHEREVER THE MAJORITY OF THE STAKEHOLDERS DECIDE. THEY WANT IT. IT'S NOT A MATTER OF DOLLARS. IT'S GOING TO COST THE SAME WHEREVER WE PUT IT . TIMING IS AN ISSUE ONLY BECAUSE THE PARK IS CLOSE TO BEING COMPLETED RIGHT NOW. THAT'S CENTRAL PARK. UM I THINK SOD IS GOING IN SOMETIME LATER THIS WEEK OR ONLY NEXT WEEK, AND IT'LL BE IT'S ALMOST HARD ESCAPING IS DONE. THE WALLS ARE IN THE BENCHES ARE IN, SO IT'S THERE. AND WE'D LIKE TO SEE IT FINISHED. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A REAL ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AMENITY FOR THAT PART OF THE PROJECT. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE DESIGN OF THE PROJECT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW UNIT TYPES AT THE OTHER END, BECAUSE WE CAN CARRY THAT THAT CENTRAL PARK THEME THROUGH THE OTHER TWO BUILDINGS AS WELL. SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE THIRD ISSUES DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING ELSE FROM THEM. T R C E V. THERE WAS A QUESTION RAISED AGAIN ABOUT ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND LISTEN. WE ALL KNOW THEY'RE THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. TODAY UM, THESE BUILDINGS WILL EACH OF THESE UNITS, EACH UNIT GETS A ONE CAR GARAGE. YOU'LL SEE THAT LATER ON THE SO THERE'S ONE INTERIOR PARKING SPACE.EVERY UNIT WILL BE WIRED. WITH A CIRCUIT IT'LL BE MOST LIKELY A 40 AMP. CIRCUIT AND THAT WORKS.
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH INTO AND PRIMARILY TESLA THERE. THE £400 GORILLA ON E. V S, BUT WE WILL PREPARE EACH OF THESE UNITS WITH A DEDICATED CIRCUIT IN THE
[00:35:01]
GARAGE SO THAT TO THE EXTENT SOMEONE NEEDS IT. THEY BUY A CHARGER AND PLUG IT IN. THERE'S NO RELATIVELY EXPENSIVE ADDITIONAL WIRING OR CIRCUITRY. I THINK THIS STATE STATUTE THAT GOVERNOR MURPHY ENACTED A FEW YEARS AGO, I HAD A LITTLE BIT OF AWARENESS OF THAT. AND THE PRIOR CAPACITY WITH THE BUILDER ASSOCIATIONS, AND WE KIND OF KNEW THIS WAS COMING, BUT WE CERTAINLY HAVE NO ISSUE, INCLUDING THAT IN ALL OF THE UNITS WILL HAVE THEM BUILT IN WE'RE NOT PUTTING CHARGES IN BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHICH WHICH CHARGER. SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT GET A CAR THAT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE TESLA CHARGER. BUT ALL THE WIRING ALL THE UNDERGROUND WILL BE DONE FOR THAT. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE ARE 16 PARKING SPACES. ALCOHOL, SPILLOVER PARKING SPACES. IN THE BACK. CAN YOU PULL UP 16 SURFACE ? WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS RUN.OFF OFF OF THE SAME COMMON, UH, METER THAT SERVICES ALL THE COMMON ELECTRIC FOR THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND WHATNOT. OKAY? OKAY? YEAH. SLOW DOWN. YOU'RE GIVING ME A HEADACHE. THERE YOU GO. UM. THERE'S EIGHT UNITS EIGHT PARKING SPACES BEHIND EACH OF THE TWO BUILDINGS WERE PROPOSING TO PUT A TWO. TWO VEHICLE CHARGING STATION IN THAT LOCATION AND IN THAT LOCATION, AND IT WILL BE FED FROM THE COMMON TO MEET HER IN THE IN THE CONDO AS WELL. SO I THINK THAT'S A AN APPROPRIATE INTENSITY FOR THAT TYPE OF CHARGING, UM, THE STATUTE TALKS ABOUT IN MULTI FAMILY AND I THINK IT'S IMPLICIT THAT APPLIES TO MULTI FAMILY APARTMENTS. WHICH THESE ARE NOT THAT YOU COME BACK EVERY THREE YEARS. WE'RE NOT GONNA WE DON'T HAVE THAT LATITUDE HERE. THESE ARE FOR SALE. SO RATHER THAN THEN DO IT. AND KIND OF A HAPHAZARD WHERE WE SAID MAKE THE DECISION PUT THEM ALL IN. NOW IN THE UNITS THEMSELVES AND THEN PUT TWO AH! PUT TWO ADDITIONAL STATIONS THERE. UM. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE OVERVIEW. I'LL STOP TALKING AND TURN IT OVER TO THE PROS AT THIS POINT, UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME. I'VE BEEN A BIT OF DISGUISE.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE PLAN, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY ZONE, AND THAT'S SPECIFICALLY AN AREA A DISH TO OF THAT OVERLAY ZONE. SO AS YOU'RE ALL AWARE THAT THE OVERALL MONTGOMERY CROSSING DEVELOPMENT IS CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT BEING FINALIZED A MAJORITY OF THE 107 TOWN HOMES THAT WERE APPROVED HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED, UM AND MOST ARE CURRENTLY OCCUPIED. LOT TO ITSELF WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A SINGLE. THAT'S ONE MULTI FAMILY CONDOMINIUM BUILDING. WITH AN UNDERSTORY PARKING GARAGE. THE MULTI FAMILY BUILDING WAS APPROVED WITH A TOTAL OF 40 UNITS AS MENTIONED BEFOREHAND. AND IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE OF 59.9.
IN THE BUILDING COVERAGE OF 27.3. SINCE THE APPROVAL, LA TOO, AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN CLEARED. A LOT TO SPECIFICALLY HAS BEEN FILLED SYLVIA GRADES HAVE BEEN ELEVATED PURSUANT TO THE PRIOR APPROVAL. MY TWO IN THE EXISTING CONDITION CURRENTLY DRAINS TO THE TWO WEAPONS THAT ARE TO THE EAST AND TO THE WEST, LOTS ONE AND THREE. AND THAT WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR IN THE IN THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN. SO MOVING ON TO THE SITE PLAN, RENDERING WHICH IS THE SECOND SLIDE. UM AS MENTIONED BEFORE WE'RE HERE TODAY. SEEKING AMENDED PRELIMINARY AND FINAL MAJOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE CONVERSION OF THAT SINGLE MULTI FAMILY BUILDING, TWO SEPARATE STACKED MULTI FAMILY BUILDINGS, WHICH WILL HOUSE 10 UNITS EACH.
FOR A TOTAL OF 20 UNITS. THIS IS A NET REDUCTION OF 20 UNITS FROM THE PRIOR APPROVAL. THIS RESULTS IN LESS IMPACT TO THE COMMUNITY ON SEVERAL ENGINEERING FRONTS, INCLUDING TRAFFIC UTILITY IMPACTS AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT. IN ADDITION TO THE TWO MULTI FAMILY BUILDINGS, THIS PROPOSAL PROVIDES A CENTRALIZED LANDSCAPED COURTYARD BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS, WHICH WILL CONTAIN LANDSCAPING, WALKWAYS, BENCHES AND BOLLARD LIGHTING. 88 ACCESS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE COURTYARD FROM THE VILLAGE DRIVE PUBLIC SIDEWALK NETWORK AS WELL. FROM A BOOK REQUIREMENT PERSPECTIVE. THE IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE FOR THIS AMENDED APPLICATION IS 51.6% SO THAT'S A NET REDUCTION OF 8.3% OF IMPERVIOUS COVER OR APPROXIMATELY 7000 SQUARE FEET.
[00:45:01]
REDUCTION OF IMPERVIOUS COVER. IN ADDITION, SOME OF THAT IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE IS BEING CONVERTED TO POROUS PAVEMENT. SPECIFICALLY THE 16 PARKING STALLS TO THE NORTH OF THE REAR DRIVE, I'LL OR PROPOSED TO BE POOREST PAVEMENT PARKING STALLS. IN ADDITION TO BUILDING COVERAGE AMENDED IS 20% WHICH IS A NET REDUCTION OF 7.3% THAT'S APPROXIMATELY 6200 SQUARE FEET OF REDUCED BUILDING COVER. PERTAINING TO THE REST OF THE BOOK REQUIREMENTS. THIS LAYOUT DOES COMPLY WITH ALL THE BUILDING SETBACK REQUIREMENTS. AND IN FACT, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE PRIOR APPROVAL DID RECEIVE VARIANTS RELIEF IN 2018. FOR THE OVERALL MONTGOMERY CROSSING DEVELOPMENT FOR NOT MEETING THE OPEN SPACE PERCENTAGE. UM 30% WAS REQUIRED . PRIOR APPROVAL WAS AT 29.4. BECAUSE OF THE REDUCTION IN PERVIOUS COVER ON THIS APPLICATION. WE ARE SLIGHTLY NORTH OF 30% SO IT'S A SUBSTANTIAL BENEFIT THERE. TOUCH TOUCH BRIEFLY ON ROADWAY CIRCULATION, PARKING, UM, ACCESS TO LOT TWO. IS PROVIDED BY WAY OF TOOLS TO FULL MOVEMENT. DRIVEWAYS FROM VILLAGE DRIVE. THOSE ARE IN THE SAME EXACT LOCATION AS WHERE WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED FOR THE SINGLE MULTI FAMILY BUILDING.SPECIFIC TO THE PARKING LAYOUT ITSELF. ALL THE ORDINANCE AND OUR SIAS REQUIREMENTS ARE MET.
THERE'S A TOTAL OF 56 PROPOSED PARKING STALLS BETWEEN THE ONE CAR GARAGE AND DRIVEWAY AT THE REAR OF THE UNITS. AS WELL AS THE 16 PARKING STALLS THAT ARE TO THE NORTH OF THE DRIVE. I'LL BECAUSE THEY'RE HALF THE UNITS PROPOSED ON LAW, TOO. THERE'S ALSO A 50% REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF TRIPS THAT ARE COMING TO AND FROM THE SITE SO LESS OF A TRAFFIC IMPACT TO THE VILLAGE ROADWAY NETWORK. FROM A STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE AS I HAD MENTIONED, THE TWO EXISTING WEAPONS WILL CONTINUE TO SERVICE. UM THIS LOT FROM A STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE. UM AND IN FACT, THIS AMENDMENT IS A BENEFIT TO THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITIES DUE TO THE NET REDUCTION AND IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE FOR THIS APPLICATION.
IN ADDITION, WE MET WITH A FEW OF THE BOARD MEMBERS AND THE AND THE TOWN PROFESSIONALS AT THE SITE PLAN SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE MEETING. UH UM, A FEW MONTHS AGO , AND WE RE RECEIVE SOME SOME GREAT FEEDBACK IN COMMENTS ABOUT OTHER GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENTS THAT WE COULD INCORPORATE INTO THIS DESIGN. UM SO AS I HAD MENTIONED, WHAT WE DID WITH THIS DESIGN WAS PROPOSED POOREST PARKING, POROUS , POROUS PAYMENT PARKING STALLS , UM, IN THOSE 16 STALLS. THIS SERVES TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE WATER QUALITY TREATMENT. UM. ELEMENT FOR STORMWATER RUNOFF. THAT'S TRIBUTARY TO THOSE FACILITIES. SO IN SUMMARY FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, THE OVERALL DESIGN DOES STILL COMPLY WITH THE N J. D P STORMWATER MANAGEMENT RULES THAT ARE SET FORTH BY N. J. C SEVEN COLON EIGHT. COMPLIES WITH THE NEW JERSEY SOIL EROSION THAT SEDIMENT CONTROL STANDARDS AS WELL AS THE TOWNSHIP OF MONTGOMERY STORMWATER ORDINANCE.
NOW THERE WAS ONE COMMENT. I DID WANT TO SPEAK TO IN MR DARDIS. UH, UH, REVIEW MEMORANDUM PREPARED BY ER I INDEED DID AUGUST 31ST 2023. UM IT'S SPECIFICALLY A REVIEW. EVERY REVIEW COMMENT RELATED TO DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE DETAIL OF THE ALEC CONTROL STRUCTURE IN THE WET POND. AND THE HYDRAULIC CALCULATION THAT WAS SUBMITTED AND THAT'S IN THE REPORT THAT WAS DATED 2018. JUST JUST TO CLARIFY FOR THE FOR THE RECORD, UM WE WILL. THE ACTUAL DETAIL IN THE PLAN IS CORRECT, SO THAT'S WHAT WAS CONSTRUCTED AND IS IN THE FIELD TODAY. THE HYDRAULIC CALCULATION AS A MINOR DISCREPANCY. WE CAN MAKE THAT UPDATE TO THE REPORT AND SUBMITTED AS A CONDITION APPROVED OF APPROVAL. SO I DID WANT TO JUST MENTION THAT ON THE STORM WATER FRONT. FROM A UTILITY PERSPECTIVE. THE EXISTING MONTGOMERY CROSSING DEVELOPMENT. CURRENTLY, UM. CONNECTS TO THE EXISTING SANITARY SEWER COLLECTION FACILITY WITHIN THE HILLSIDE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE NORTH. BECAUSE THERE IS A NET REDUCTION IN THE UNITS BEING PROPOSED FROM THE PRIOR APPROVAL AGAIN, THERE WILL BE A NET REDUCTION IN SANITARY, SEWER DISCHARGE AND DOMESTIC WATER DEMAND FOR THIS DEVELOPED FOR THIS AMENDED DEVELOPMENT. WHICH IS LESS IMPACTFUL TO THE EXISTING PUBLIC UTILITIES. WE
[00:50:02]
ARE PROPOSING A COUPLE OF MINOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THIS TO THE UTILITY NETWORK, INCLUDING EXTENSION OF A SANITARY SEWER MAIN ALONG THE BACK OF THE UNIT SO THAT THOSE INDIVIDUAL UNITS CAN TIE DIRECTLY INTO THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM NETWORK. WORKING WITH NEW JERSEY AMERICAN WATER RIGHT NOW, ON SOME MINOR IMPROVEMENTS ALONG THE FRONT EDGE OF THE SITE TO EXTEND A WATER MAIN AND HAVE DIRECT CONNECTION INTO THAT ALONG THE FRONT OF THIS SITE, SO THAT THAT IS IN THE WORKS WITH NEW JERSEY AMERICAN WATER, AND WE WILL RECEIVE THAT APPROVAL AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL. AND LASTLY, JUST VERY BRIEFLY TOUCH ON LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING. UM WE DO HAVE SEVERAL REVIEW MEMORANDUM, THEIR THEIR COMMENTS ON LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING, AND IT IS OUR INTENTION TO COMPLY WITH ALL COMMENTS AND ALL THE REVIEW MEMBER MEMORANDUM PERTAINING TO THAT. UM AND FURTHER MORE SPECIFIC TO MR DARDIS ENGINEERING REVIEW MEMO.WE HAVE NO NO ISSUE COMPLYING WITH THE COMMENTS WITHIN YOUR REVIEW LETTER AS WELL. THERE ARE TWO OTHER ELEMENTS I WANTED TO TOUCH ON FROM THAT REVIEW MEMORANDUM. SPECIFICALLY THERE WAS A COMMENT THAT THERE ARE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS BETWEEN, UM SOME OF THE LANDSCAPING IN THE CENTRAL COURTYARD. IT'S PRETTY DENSE IN THERE, AND WE DO HAVE AN UNDERGROUND STORMWATER PIPE THAT DISCHARGES TO THE NORTH TOWARD THE WEAPONS. SO WE CAN RELOCATE THOSE PLANTINGS AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL TO MINIMUM TO ELIMINATE ANY IMPACTS. THERE WAS ALSO A COMMENT PERTAINING TO WHICH STORM L STORM WATER INLETS WILL RECEIVE SEDIMENT FILTERS. UM SO BEING THAT THE ENTIRE LOT DREAMS TO THE NORTH NOW. UM THE WAY THAT THE DESIGN IS INTENDED TO INSTALL FILTERS ON THE INLETS THAT ARE ON LOT TWO ONLY SINCE IT ALL DRAINS FROM VILLAGE DROP AWAY FROM VILLAGE DRIVE TO THE NORTH. SO AT THIS TIME, IT'S UH , THE SORRY THE INLETS ON LA TO SPECIFICALLY WHEN WE RECEIVE SEVEN FILTERS DURING CONSTRUCTION. YEAH, WE ALL KNOW THEM ON THE PLANET, THE CONDITION OF APPROVAL AS WELL. UM YOU ALREADY DISCUSSED THE OUTSIDE AGENCY PERMITS. SO THAT'S ALL I THAT'S ALL I HAVE, UM, FOR THE BOARD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. SO JUST TO BE CLEAR WITH REGARD TO ENGINEERING COMMENTS. UM THERE ARE NONE THAT YOU WANT TO BRING TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION THAT YOU DISAGREE WITH . NO THERE ARE NO COMMENTS. WE INTEND TO COMPLY WITH ALL REVIEW COMMENTS. THIS CHAIR. I HAVE NOTHING FURTHER, MISTER HOLDREN . JUST QUICK QUESTION ABOUT BERMAN. I'M SORRY. I'VE CONFLATED THE, UM THE CURRENT PROBLEMS WITH WATERGATE. SO I.
HARDLY UM SOLAR PANELS. JUST SO I UNDERSTAND BY THE WAY THAT IT'S GREAT THAT YOU'RE PUTTING SOLAR PANELS ON. HOW DOES THAT WORK? BECAUSE I THOUGHT SOLAR PANELS, THE ELECTRICITY GOES INTO THE GRID, AND THERE'S SOME SORT OF CREDIT THAT COMES BACK. HOW DOES HOW WOULD THAT BENEFIT THE HOMEOWNERS? OR THE H O A. PLEASE. THE PANEL'S DOING IT. WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? EXCUSE YOU MADE ME TALK TOO LOUD. IT'S YOUR FAULT UP THE. THE PANEL WILL GO. THE POWER WILL GO BACK INTO THE GRID, BUT BECAUSE THE THAT METER. THAT IT GOES BACK THROUGH IS THE COMMON METER THAT THAT POWERS, THE PARKING LOT LIGHTING AND THE LIGHTING IN THE GREEN SPACE. AND MOST LIKELY EVEN THE E V. CHARGERS IT'LL BE A DIRECT BENEFIT TO THE HOMEOWNER, THE CONDO ASSOCIATION BACK TO THE ASSOCIATION. YEAH IT WON'T. IT WON'T DIRECTLY AFFECT THE INDIVIDUAL UNIT ELECTRIC BILL, WHICH IS SEPARATELY. METERED OF COURSE BENEFIT TO THE OVERALL CONDO ASSOCIATION.
GREAT. THANK YOU. CHAIRMAN ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT FOR MR HABERMAN? HER HALDERMAN, WHICHEVER FUSE HERE CALLING WHATEVER YOU WANT. I THINK WE'RE GOOD. ALL RIGHT. OUR NEXT WITNESS. I'M SORRY, MICHAEL. I'M SORRY. MHM.
WOULD BE ALIVE. YES ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT COMMENT, TOO. WE, UM I TOOK A LOOK AT THE
[00:55:04]
GRADING. IT WILL WORK, SO WE WERE GOING TO GET TO THAT. BUT I CAN STATE THAT WE WILL MAKE THAT MODIFICATION MUCH CLEANER. REPRESENTATION. IT'S DIFFERENT. YOU KNOW? BUT THAT'S NOT. THAT IS CORRECT. YES. YES, ABSOLUTELY. AND MICHAEL WHILE WE HAVE YOU HAD MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT PARKING BEING BELOW GROUND LEVEL OR. UNFORTUNATELY, YEP. WORKING.RIGHT? OKAY? AND THEN JUST ONE MORE QUESTION, JOE YOU HAD MENTIONED ABOUT GETTING TESTIMONY ON TRASH DELIVERIES, ETCETERA WHILE WHILE HE'S HERE DO WE WANT TO, UH, TALK THROUGH THAT? YOU START WITH THAT BROUGHT IT UP. I BELIEVE, AND THEN YOU CAN CLARIFY BEHIND THE UNIT. NO TRASH HERE. PRESIDENT. HOW'S TRASH PEOPLE? THAT'S CORRECT IT. THERE WILL BE INDIVIDUAL TOTES FOR EVERY UNIT OWNER. SO THE TRASH, UH, VEHICLES WILL CIRCULATE THE REAR OF THE SITE AND PICK UP THE INDIVIDUAL TOADS. AND THEN ALONG WITH. THINGS LIKE AMAZON DELIVERIES. CONCERN BEING ARE WE GOING TO HAVE. REVISION DELIVERY. SPAIN DELIVERIES TO IN THE SAME MANNER AS TRASH PICK UP THOSE CIRCULATED AROUND THE REAR OF THE OF THE BUILDING TO THE NORTH AND DROP OFF THE DELIVERIES THERE. 13 OF THE YEAR. DEFINING STRIPING. YOU JUST CONFIRM ON THE RECORD. IT'S NOT LIKE. PULL THAT UP. WHILE I'M CALLING DR LONG WITH THEM.
PUSH BUTTON. WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON WITH MY HELP OFF COURSE SIGNS. CONFIRMING THAT WILL BE THE CASE IN E TWO. THREE LOCATIONS. YES THAT IS THE CASE. THEY'RE ALL SYNCHRONIZED. SO WHEN HE PUSHED ONE THEY ALL FORGET ACTUATED. ON OCCASION, THEY DON'T BUT THEY DON'T HIT ALL THREE. SO IN THE FOUR IN INDIVIDUAL EACH INDIVIDUAL INTERSECTION THERE, ACTUATED. SO HERE YOU CAN SEE ADDITIONAL CROSSWALKS. YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE ACTIVATED FLASHERS WOULD BE AND THEN, MR TROY. IT'S NOT TRUE AND ON HERE, BUT HE'S OFFERED ANOTHER LOCATION. FOR THE, UM ADDITIONAL FLASHERS. THIS SHEET IS CALLED. PEDESTRIAN FLASHERS AND CROSSWALKS. JUST FOR THE RECORD. WHAT ARE THOSE LITTLE ARMY? SO THOSE ARE ADDITIONAL CROSSWALKS THAT WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO SPECIFIC DOWNEAST HARD WORK DRIVE. THAT WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY DESIGNED AND APPROVED IN THE 2018 APPLICATION, SO THOSE WILL BE ADDITIONS AS WELL. YEAH ALREADY ANY CATEGORY IN THEIR CORRECT THAT'S CORRECT. THOSE WERE ALL MONEY. THANK YOU, JOE. CAN I ASK A QUESTION IN TERMS OF THE DELIVERIES? WHAT UM, I KNOW IT'S SUPPOSED THAT THEY WILL GO BEHIND, BUT WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT DELIVERIES DO GO BEHIND AND NOT THE TRUCKS. DON'T STOP THERE. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE HAVE FROM A WOULD ANY SUGGESTIONS BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO DROP? YES SOME KIND OF WHAT ABOUT SIGNAGE FIGURING OUT WHERE WE COULD? THAT COULD GO BUT BACK. YEAH. SERIES OF APPOINTMENTS SIGNS THEIR VISION OF THE
[01:00:01]
GOVERNMENT STOPPING UNDERSTANDING THE WORK OF MY OFFICE HERE. DID LIKE GREAT THE COMFORTABLE BALANCE GRID. AGREED AGREED. YES SO MAYBE DELIVERS STOPPING AND STANDING IS PROBABLY BETTER THAN PARKING. ABSOLUTELY WELL. WE WILL WORK WITH YOUR OFFICE. EXCUSE ME. I OVERHEARD THE COMMENT ABOUT THE PARCEL DELIVERIES WHICH ARE YOU KNOW, NINE TIMES A DAY. UM I'M NOT SURE THAT THE REAR OF THE UNITS IS THE BEST PLACE FOR THOSE DELIVERIES TO HAPPEN.EVERY ONE OF THESE UNITS HAS A FRONT DOOR THAT FACES THE STREET JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER TOWN HOME THERE. I THINK IT MAKES MUCH MORE SENSE FOR THAT TO BE WEIRD PACKAGES GET DELIVERED. UM RATHER THAN SPACE, THOUGH ON VILLAGE VILLAGE DRIVER IS GOING TO BE A BIG PASS THROUGH, SO I'M NOT QUITE SURE HOW THEY DELIVER NOW, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT EVEN ALL THE OTHER UNITS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF VILLAGE. DOES ANYBODY HERE? HOW DO YOU PACKAGES GET DELIVERED? THE FRONT STEPS. YEAH. SO FROM THE SOUTH. PORK. ALONG THAT SIDE. YEAH. NO I YEAH , BUT WE'RE NOT WHAT I'M SAYING IS I AGREE WITH YOU SHOULDN'T LET THE DELIVERY TRUCK PARK IN THE FRONT. BUT IF THE DELIVERY TRUCK PULLS INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND JUST WALKS DOWN THE SIDEWALK , HE CAN GET TO EACH OF THOSE OKAY UNITS ON EITHER SIDE. YEAH, I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE.
TRAFFIC ON VILLAGE DRIVE. THEY WORK ON SCREEN. PARTY SPACES DEDICATED ON THE. THAT'S THE WAY RIGHT? YEAH. FINE. IN SPACES. HERE. THE WEATHER CROSSWALKS ARE. HMM. AND THEN JUST ONE MORE QUESTION ABOUT THE, UM ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHART OR WIRING IN THE INDIVIDUAL UNITS. WILL THAT BE WIRED? ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO LIKE A TO 40 PLUG OR JUST TO, UH JUST TO A BOX. WE ARE DEDICATED CIRCUIT. TO THE BREAKER PANEL IN EACH UNIT OF 40 M CIRCUIT WITH A CONDUIT. TO A BOX TO ABOVE GARAGE. SOMETIMES IT'S EITHER BUT AT 2 40 LIKE SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IT CAN BE A PLUG OR BE WIRED DIRECTLY. BUT IT WILL BE IN A BOX. OKAY SO IT WILL COME FROM THE BREAKER BOX. OKAY, GOOD, GOOD. OKAY? ALL RIGHT, MR CANNOLI? UM, JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. UM, YEAH, I THINK WE NEED TO SWEAR YOU IN OKAY? YEAH. SIR DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM YOUR TESTIMONY THIS EVENING WILL BE TRUTHFUL. THANK YOU. OKAY? MR CONNELLY. BY WHOM ARE YOU EMPLOYED? IN WHAT CAPACITY? UH I'M SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT.
SHARPEVILLE DEVELOPMENT CORP. OKAY, WHAT IS YOUR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND? WHAT LICENSES YOU HOLD IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY . AND ARE THEY IN GOOD STANDING BACHELOR OF SCIENCE, ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND DESIGN FROM RUTGERS UNIVERSITY. I AM A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL PLANNER AND STAYED IN NEW JERSEY AND CERTIFIED BY THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PLANNERS . I PRACTICE PLANNING FOR OVER 25 YEARS HAVE BEEN WITH THE COMPANY IN THIS CAPACITY FOR OVER 21 YEARS. AND YOU'VE APPEARED BEFORE THIS BOARD BEFORE APPEARED BEFORE THIS BOARD BOARDS IN NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK AND SOUTH CAROLINA. UM MR CHAIRMAN. WE OFFER MR CONNOLLY AS AN EXPERT IN PLANNING, EXCEPT SO MARK. IN FLORIDA IS YOURS. OKAY, WELL, USE THE BENEFIT OF
[01:05:08]
HAVING MR TROY MR HABERMAN SETTING UP THE APPLICATION. AND I'LL TAKE THIS FROM A PLANNING SIDE. I'LL FOCUS ON AH, ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED FROM THE BOARD TONIGHT IS THE GRANTING OF ONE VARIANCE THE ORDINANCE. IN THE PLAN MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ZONE. ALLOWS FOR MIXED SORRY, MULTI FAMILY UNITS HERE. THE WAY THAT THE ORDINANCES WRITTEN. IT PERMITS THAT IN ONE BUILDING, AS YOU KNOW, AS YOU SEE HERE, WE'RE PROPOSING THAT IN TWO BUILDINGS, SO LET ME STEP BACK FOR ONE SECOND AND GO THROUGH HOW WE GOT HERE. SO YOU HEARD MR TROY AND MR HAVEN EXPLAIN ORIGINALLY WE HAD A 40 UNIT BUILDING. THAT WAS A FOUR STORY BUILDING. THREE STORIES OF MIXED USE. EXCUSE MULTI FAMILY UNITS OVER PARKING. THE PROPOSAL HERE IS TO AMEND THAT APPLICATION PROPOSED TO BUILDINGS EACH WITH 10 UNITS OF STACKED MULTI FAMILY UNITS 10 IN EACH FOR A TOTAL OF 20 REDUCTION IN 20 UNITS. OUR ENGINEER. MR HAVEN EXPLAIN THAT THIS APPLICATION REDUCES THE IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE IS EXHIBIT SHOWS IN RED PROPOSED LAYOUT OF THE NEW PLAN WITH THE OLD PLAN UNDERNEATH. AND BASICALLY GIVES YOU A SENSE OF WHERE THE IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE AND BUILDING COVERAGE COVERAGE IS REDUCED, AND I BELIEVE WE SAID SOMEWHERE IN THE 7000 SQUARE FEET RANGE IS THE REDUCTION IN IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE. HERE WE LOOK QUICKLY AND WE WON'T STAND SPEND TOO MUCH TIME. THESE ARE IN YOUR PACKETS. THIS WAS THE PRIOR APPROVED. MULTI FAMILY BUILDING.THAT'S THE FRONT AND REAR ELEVATION. OR ARCHITECT IS HERE. LATER IN A FEW MINUTES, WE'LL GO THROUGH THE NEW ARCHITECTURE. I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF WHAT WE HAD PROPOSED TONIGHT. HERE'S A BASICALLY A SIDE BY SIDE IF YOU WILL, AND BOTTOM COMPARISON OF WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING, WITH OUR MULTI FAMILY STACKED IN ITS BELOW WITH WHAT WAS APPROVED PRIOR. THIS GIVES YOU A PERSPECTIVE OF OUR BUILDING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PARK WILL BE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF CENTRAL PARK. IF YOU CAN SEE THERE, YOU GOT THE MULTI FAMILY BUILDING AT THE BOTTOM. WHEN YOU FLIP TO THE NEXT SLIDE OF SHOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE HAD APPROVED AND WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING. SHE HAS A REDUCTION IN THE BUILDING, MASSING. AGAIN. THIS IS A BIRD'S EYE. HE WILL ARIEL. SHOWING THAT BUILDING IN THE REAR OR THE TOP OF YOUR SCREEN. THE NEXT SLIDE. SHOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LARGER LONGER BUILDING AND SPLITTING THAT INTO TWO INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS. I'M GONNA HANG ON THIS SLIDE HERE AND GO BACK. SORRY. YOU'RE STUCK. THERE WE GO. SO AS I SAID, WE NEED ONE VARIANCE REVIEWED THE PLANS AS I TYPICALLY DO. I REVIEWED YOUR PLAN. MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY ZONE. WE'RE IN SUBJECT, SUBSECTION EIGHT TO HAVE REVIEWED OUR THE RECENT 2017 MASTER PLAN RE EXAM. THE VARIANCES FROM SECTION 16 DAYS.
SIX K ROMAN NUMERAL TWO, A TWO AND THAT'S THE PERMIT. STACKED MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN TWO BUILDINGS WHERE MULTI FAMILY UNITS ARE PERMITTED IN ONE HERE. WE NEED TO DO ONE OF TWO THINGS EITHER. PROVIDE THE C ONE OR C TWO TESTIMONY. AH AS YOU KNOW, C ONE. WE MUST SHOW THAT A STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE HERE WOULD RESULT IN A PECULIAR OR EXCEPTIONAL HARDSHIP. OR TWO AND A C FLEX. THAT THE PURPOSES OF THE MOU ARE ADVANCED AND THAT THE BENEFITS OF THE DEVIATION FOR OUR WAY. THE DETRIMENT. I'M GOING TO OFFER SEAT TOO. DO YOU HAVE AN ODD SHAPED LOT, BUT MEET ALL THE SETBACKS AND I WOULDN'T APPLY THAT HERE. IN ALL CASES, WE NEED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE VARIANCES CAN BE GRANTED WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL SUBSTANTIAL DETRIMENT TO THE PUBLIC. GOOD. AND THAT THEY CAN BE GRANTED WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL IMPAIRMENT TO THE ZONE PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE. YOU'RE PLANNING PROFESSIONALS HAVE OUTLINED ALL THE PROOFS REQUIRED. I'LL GO THROUGH THESE QUICKLY. SO FOR C TWO, I'M GOING TO OFFER THAT PURPOSE. A TO ENCOURAGE MUNICIPAL ACTION TO GUIDE THE APPROPRIATE USE OR DEVELOPMENT
[01:10:01]
OF ALL LANDS. IN THE STATE IN A MANNER WHICH PROMOTE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, MORALS AND GENERAL WELFARE ARE ADVANCED BY THIS PROPOSAL. YOU HEARD THAT THE PROPOSAL AND I WOULD AGREE, ALLOWS FOR A BETTER TRANSITIONAL USE BETWEEN THE EXISTING CONSTRUCTED TOWN HOMES IN THE MONTGOMERY CROSSING DEVELOPMENT AND THE SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING TO THE NORTH. AND THAT'S BOTH IN THE HILLSIDE, SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND TAPESTRY AND SOME OF YOUR OTHER SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. THE PLAN PROPOSES STACK MULTI FAMILY UNITS IN TWO SEPARATE BUILDINGS , AS OPPOSED TO ONE PROVIDING LESS BUILDING MASS WILL SEE MORE. THREE DIMENSIONAL DEPICTIONS OF THE ARCHITECTURE IN A SECOND. THEN THE ORIGINAL APPROVED 40 UNIT BUILDING, WHICH IS MORE IN KEEPING WITH THE DIRECTLY ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD AGAIN, LESS IMPERVIOUS, MORE OPEN SPACE. MORE PARK SPACE INCORPORATED. PURPOSE IS TO PROMOTE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF APPROPRIATE POPULATION DENSITIES AND CONCENTRATIONS THAT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE WELL BEING OF PERSONS, NEIGHBORHOODS, COMMUNITIES, REGIONS AND PRESERVATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT . THAT'S PURPOSE. E PROBABLY HEARD THAT BEFORE. STACK MULTI FAMILY UNITS OFFER ANOTHER UNIT TYPE. LOWER DENSITY THAN WHAT WAS PROPOSED. YOU HEARD MR TROY TALKED ABOUT THE MARKET AND THE EXISTING PROJECTS THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. YOU HAVE 100 AND 15 APARTMENTS TO THE NORTHEAST.YOU HAVE 67 AFFORDABLE UNITS IN THE PROJECT. ANOTHER 23 IN HILLSIDE, ANOTHER 52 APPROVED IN THE VILLAGE WALK, AND WE BELIEVE THAT THIS PRODUCT BEING INTRODUCED HERE IS INAPPROPRIATE PRODUCT FOR THE MARKET. WE BELIEVE EXISTS. THE PLANE ALSO REDUCES AGAIN. WE TALK ABOUT PRESERVATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT . PREVIOUS COVERAGE OFFICE OFFERS MORE OPEN SPACE. PURPOSE.
I PROMOTE DIVERSITY TO PROMOTE DESIRABLE VISUAL ENVIRONMENT. THROUGH CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES AND GOOD CIVIC DESIGN AND ARRANGEMENT. AS I STATED THE TWO BUILDINGS AGAIN LESS BUILDING MASS. THEY PULL THAT LONG. IF YOU WERE MONOTONOUS BUILDING FACADE APART. ALLOW US TO INCORPORATE AN OPEN COURTYARD AND INTRODUCE MORE PUBLIC OPEN SPACE THAT RELATES DIRECTLY TO THE PARK ACROSS THE STREET, AND WE'LL SEE SOME MORE OF THOSE PHOTOS IN THE SECOND. SO IT'S MY OPINION. LET ME GO A LITTLE FURTHER. UH AND IN TERMS OF THE NEGATIVE CRITERIA, THERE ARE TWO PRONGS AS YOU KNOW, UH, THAT THE APPLICATION AND THE DEVIATION CAN BE GRANTED WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL DETRIMENT TO THE PUBLIC GOOD ABOUT SUBSTANTIAL IMPAIRMENT OF HIS OWN PLAN ZONING ORDINANCE. IT'S MY OPINION THAT THE VARIANTS CAN BE GRANTED WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL DETRIMENT TO THE PUBLIC. GOOD IS FIRST TO THE IMPACTS. ON THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. UH WE TALKED ABOUT THIS SEVERAL PURPOSES THAT ARE ADVANCED BY THIS APPLICATION PROPOSAL ALSO ALLOWS FOR LESS THAN PERVIOUS SUBSTANTIALLY LESS LESS BUILDING MASS AS THE UNITS ARE CONSTRUCTED IN TWO BUILDINGS AND AGAIN, IT'S A BETTER TRANSITIONAL USE BETWEEN WHAT WE'RE BUILDING HERE. AND WHAT EXISTS IN THE NORTH. AND AGAIN, IT INCORPORATES ANOTHER PARK INTO OUR DEVELOPMENT PLAN. LESLIE THE VARIANTS CAN BE GRANTED WITHOUT SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRING THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE ZONE PLAN. AND IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR 2017 RE EXAM, IT GOES AND SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO YOUR PLAN MAKES USE DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. AND YOU LOOK AT THOSE THEY ARE TO ENCOURAGE SOUND UTILIZATION OF LAND AND PROMOTE A STRONG SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND THE VICINITY OF THE COMMERCIAL CENTER OF MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP AT NEARBY 206. 5 18 INTERSECTION WHERE WE ARE. PLANNED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED TO FACILITATE AND THERE'S A FEW THAT I THINK ARE IMPORTANT. THE REDEVELOPMENT OF ABANDONED LANDS. WE'VE BEEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION HERE. THIS IS THE PROJECT THAT'S SHOWING ITS SUCCESS OVER YEARS AND YOU'RE WE'RE NOT TOO FAR AWAY FROM COMPLETING THE PROJECT WILL GO THROUGH WHERE WE STAND WITH THE REST OF THE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PROJECT. WITH REGARD TO THE ROADS, THE CROSSWALKS WOULD HAVE YOU UM, IN MONTGOMERY TO MAXIMIZE THE VIABILITY FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING EXPANDED RETAIL AND SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE TOWNSHIP. AND COMPACT, EFFICIENT MULTI FAMILY HOUSING TO COMPLEMENT THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. AGAIN. WE BELIEVE THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE USE, AND THIS IS NOT A USE APPLICATION. IT'S A VARIANCE FOR TWO BUILDINGS VERSUS ONE SO THE USE IS PERMITTED. THE OTHER. I THINK IMPORTANT GOAL I WOULD TALK ABOUT OR OR OR NOTE WOULD BE TO
[01:15:04]
ENCOURAGE ORDERLY AND WELL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OUT OF SCALE AND LOCATION SO THAT IT IS FEASIBLE TO CONSTRUCT A COMPREHENSIVE PACKAGE OF SUPPORTING UTILITY SERVICES AND FACILITIES, INCLUDING NEW ROADWAYS, STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED ELEMENTS.THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE SERVED BY PUBLIC SANITARY IN WATER. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU HEARD OUR ENGINEER MENTIONED THAT PROJECT COMPLETES AND WILL COMPLETE VERY SOON AND WHEN I SAY VERY SOON WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR. VILLAGE DRIVE ON OUR SIDE WILL BE FULLY COMPLETED. YOU HEARD MR TROY TELL YOU HOW MUCH OF BRECHNER ALWAYS COMPLETED AND HOW CLOSELY WE ARE TO GETTING FINAL INSPECTIONS FROM THE COUNTY. SO YOU HAVE YOU HAVE THAT BEING ACCOMPLISHED HERE? AH AND THEN LASTLY, I THINK AND I CAN GO ON TO ENCOURAGE ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT OF SITES WITH SUFFICIENT FRONTAGE ON EXISTING OR NEW MAJOR COLLECTORS. UM TO PROVIDE SAFE, EFFICIENT ACCESS AND TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AND REQUIRE ORDERLY, INTERNAL VEHICULAR BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION. THE VARIOUS REVIEW MEMOS. IF YOU LOOK THROUGH TALK ABOUT PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION, WE COMPLY. WE HAVE SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREETS. WE HAVE ALL OF OUR, UH, PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALKS WHERE THEY'RE REQUIRED. AND WE'VE ACTUALLY ENHANCE THAT TONIGHT. WE'RE SHOWING YOU WHERE WE'RE GOING TO ADD A FEW MORE WHERE THEY BELONG. WE'VE HAD MEETINGS WITH THE TOWN. WE UNDERSTAND THE REASONS AND SEE HOW WE CAN MAKE THIS PROJECT BETTER. AND WE'RE DOING THAT WITH THIS APPLICATION. YOU HEARD MR TROY TALKED ABOUT FACILITATING PUBLIC AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT'S BEEN ACCOMMODATED ALREADY AS PART OF THE PRIOR APPROVAL. UM AND I DON'T THINK AND THEN IT PICKS UP ON TYPICAL ZONING PURPOSES, UM, DESIRABLE VISUAL ENVIRONMENT.
I'VE ALREADY OFFERED THIS. SO IT'S MY OPINION THAT THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT IMPAIR THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE ZONE PLAN IN ANY WAY AND RATHER CARRIES OUT MOST OF THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE VARIOUS PLANNING DOCUMENTS, AND THAT'S HOW WE GOT HERE. UM SO. I WON'T GO INTO. MUCH OF THE ARCHITECTURE. I'LL LET OUR. PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECT WALKED THROUGH THE MATERIALS HOW THAT COMPLEMENTS THE EXISTING ARCHITECTURE. WHAT BUILDING MATERIALS WE BEFORE WE GET OFF THE C TWO VARIANTS. JUST I'M JUST GONNA GO TO MICHAEL FOR A SECOND. UM YOUR THOUGHTS ON POSITIVE NEGATIVE CRITERIA. US AS OUR ADVISOR IMPORTANT. THIS.
BEFORE THE ORDINANCES SYSTEM. THERE WAS A PLAN WORKED. DID YOU GROW UP? GOOD PLAN. RIGHT? AND SO THAT ONCE THAT WAS. AND SO THE. IT WASN'T ONE OF THE.
RIGHT? LOOKING AT THE. FOR TO THE ENCOUNTER.
FINISHING. STATEWIDE. SO. YEAH. UNIVERSITY OF YOU SAY?
[01:20:27]
THIS IS THE. HMM. OR NOT. EXCUSE ME NEXT. YEAH. OKAY? THANKS, MICHAEL. OKAY SORRY ABOUT THAT.NO BY ALL MEANS I WAS GOING TO GO INTO THE VARIOUS REVIEW MEMOS THAT COMPLETES THE PLANNING TESTIMONY. I THINK THAT'S OUR RECORD. THE FIRST, UM, MEMORANDUM THAT WE MR HEBER, UM, WENT THROUGH THE ER I REVIEW MEMO FROM MR RAKESH. THAT'S ALL. I'M SORRY. GEORGIE THAT'S BEEN AGREED TO. I THINK ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN WAS THERE ANY PLANNING? THERE WAS ONE, RIGHT? I DON'T THINK WE NEED MORE TESTIMONY ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STACKED AND OKAY. GOOD AND RAKESH ONE PLANNING TESTIMONY MUKESH HERE GOOD WITH, UM EVERYTHING IN TERMS OF THEM AGREEING TO WHAT YOU ASKED FOR. SO YES, WE DO, TOO. OKAY SO SHADE TREE COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM. I CAN HIT ON THAT FIRST. BECAUSE I HAVE NICE LITTLE EXHIBITS HERE. WE TRIED TO FIND A PLACE FOR SHADE TREES, ADDITIONAL INJURIES AND WE WERE JUST UNABLE. TO ACCOMMODATE ANYMORE. I WAS KIDDING. I WOULD NEVER DO THAT. WE HONESTLY WENT THROUGH THE PLAN AND TRY TO FIND THE MOST APPROPRIATE PLACE TO BRING TREES BACK IN. MR BAR ALONE, AND I HAD A CONVERSATION AND A CALL. UH, MR SULLIVAN AND HIS COLLEAGUE AND WE REALLY WANTED TO FIND THE RIGHT PLACE TO BRING IN MORE SHADE TREES TO PARKS BEHIND THE UNITS IN EAST AND WEST ALLEY HAVE PLANTED SLOPES AND THE THAT'S NOT REALLY THE MOST APPROPRIATE PLACE TO PUT THEIR STREETS SO WE WERE ABLE TO AND IT'S GONNA BE HARD. HOPEFULLY, YOU CAN SEE THAT. WHEN I TOGGLE BACK AND FORTH. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO STREET TREES PLANNED BETWEEN THE CURB AND SIDEWALK OF THE CENTRAL GRAIN HOOPS. SO HERE YOU GO. SO HERE IF WE BRING THESE IN, WE'LL WORK WITH MR BART ALONE AND MR SULLIVAN ON THE APPROPRIATE AND I'LL DEFER TO THEM. THEY AGREE APPROPRIATE SPECIES HERE. BUT IF WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT, AND THAT LOCATION WE'RE ABLE TO BRING AN ADDITIONAL 22. CHANGE TREES INTO THE PLAN WHERE THEY DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE AND THAT'S AROUND THIS CENTRAL PARK AREA GROUND LEVEL AT THE STREET LEVEL. MHM. SO THAT. YEP. GREAT. TERMS OF THE PLANNING MEMORANDUM. UH LET'S GUESS WE'LL STAY ON IT A GREEN THERE. HEY HEY, IT'S AGREED TO I DON'T SEE. I DON'T SEE IT COMMENT THAT NEEDS ANY ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION. YEP ALRIGHT, MHM. OKAY, GOOD. GOOD.
PERFECT. PERFECT. ALRIGHT. FIGHTING COMPLIES, ADA. ANYTHING ELSE? UM, IN, UM RICHARD.
ANYTHING ELSE IN YOUR MEMO? OKAY WE AGREE WITH MR BARCELONA'S MY MIND MEANT TO SAY THAT I'M JUST GOING TO THE NEXT ONE. THAT WAS THE NEXT ONE. WE AGREE WITH EVERYTHING AND MR BORDER LOANS.
8 25 2023, AND THAT BRINGS US TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION. I NEED SOMETHING. RIGHT? I THOUGHT YOU NEEDED SOMETHING. WHAT'S THAT? YEAH THE OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE. I'M SORRY. YOU TALKED . WE TALKED ABOUT A FEW THINGS THAT WE WERE INCORPORATING. WE TALKED ABOUT SOLAR WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE'RE ACCOMMODATING THAT HERE'S A EXHIBIT SHOWING WHERE THOSE SOLAR PANEL ARRAY WILL BE LOCATED ON THE BUILDING. SURE BRING TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL UNITS.
[01:25:02]
WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE ALREADY INCORPORATED SOLAR. UM, THIS SHOWS YOU AND ALL DEFER TO THE ARCHITECT. BUT THIS IS 52 PANELS. HMM GENERATING 350. WATTS PER PANEL. 18.2 KILOWATTS , AND THAT'S PER BUILDING. SO THAT'S 36.4. KILOWATTS IN THE PROJECT. IF WE INSTALL THE SOLAR BATTLES. WE COMPLY. WE TALKED ABOUT THE PLAY AREA ISSUE AND WHAT WE TRIED THERE. WE REALLY WORKED HARD WITH THE H O. A WE EVEN DID A NICE THREE DIMENSIONAL. EXHIBIT AND THAT IT DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE. SO YOU HEARD EARLIER THAT WILL INCORPORATE THIS FLASHERS. OKAY AND THAT'S REALLY NOTHING. THEY WERE GOING TO COMPLY WITH THE LIGHTING WHEN IN FACT TALKED ABOUT HOW HE D SO THE PLAN BEFORE HAD HP S HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM. WE'RE GOING TO INCORPORATE LED LIGHTING HERE AND WE'LL PICK A COLOR THAT MATCHES THAT HBS COLLAR A LITTLE BETTER. SHADE TREE I WENT THROUGH AND THEN I'LL LET MR VERDERY FROM DYNAMIC TRAFFIC. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE TRAFFIC MEMO. DID I MISS. SAID IT BEFORE YOU'RE GOOD. MR CHAIRMAN. THAT'S OUR DIRECT TESTIMONY. WE'RE OPEN TO QUESTIONS OR MORE QUESTIONS. UH OKAY. BUT I THINK WE'LL GO TO OUR PROFESSIONALS FIRST. JUST MAKE SURE UM GO DOWN RIGHT DOWN THE LINE, RAKESH. WHY WOULD I REMEMBER? SUPPORT.AND YOU CONCUR WITH, YOU KNOW SMALLER. FOOTPRINT MORE POROUS PAVEMENT. I MEAN IT. NOW AGAIN, THE TESTIMONY. CONVERTING THE PREVIOUS. IF THE PLEASE. YEAH. BUT MAYBE NOT. REQUIRED TOO MUCH AND THEN. THANKS TO CASH, MICHAEL ANYTHING ADDITIONAL I'M LOOKING AT THE ELEVATION OF THE BUILDING. THE SOLAR PANELS. THERE'S A LOT OF NATURAL LIGHT IN HERE, SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF GOOD. THAT WAY. THE QUESTION IS, CAN THEY CAN MATERIAL CLOSELY MATCHED.
NEVER. YEAH. JUNGLE. I'M TOLD WE CAN DO. CHAIR MR HATER. MINE. I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S A NEED FOR MR BENNETT RECENTLY TESTIFIED. OF COURSE, THE BOARD HAS ANY YEP. THAT'S FINE AND RICHARD WORD WE'RE GOOD. OKAY? AT THIS POINT, THEN WE'LL ASK FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. WE HAVE OUR ARCHITECT. RIGHT AFTER YOUR ARCHITECT. UM CAN WE TAKE A TWO MINUTE BREAK? SURE AND WE'LL TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK BACK. YOU KNOW? YES WE ARE GOING TO BE DONE AT 10 O'CLOCK REGARDLESS.
SO LET'S GET GOING. THANK YOU. JUST UH, I HEARD THAT COMMENT. MR VERDERY. SHE IS HERE. IF THE BOARD DOES HAVE ANY QUESTIONS HE'S AVAILABLE, BUT I APPRECIATE THE COMMENT FROM YOUR TRAFFIC CONSULTANT. SO OUR LAST UNLESS, MR REESE, HE HAS TO COME FORWARD . OUR LAST WITNESSES ARE ARCHITECT JACK BREAKER. CAN HE BE SWORN STAND, PLEASE? THIRTIES. SORRY. DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM YOUR TESTIMONY THIS EVENING WILL BE TRUTHFUL. THANK YOU. JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS . BY WHOM WERE YOU EMPLOYED IN WHAT CAPACITY PRINCIPAL AT MINIMUM MOSCOW ARCHITECTS AND PLANNERS AND WHAT'S YOUR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND AND WHAT LICENSES DO YOU HOLD IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY? I HAVE AN ARCHITECTURE DEGREE FROM NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
[01:30:02]
AND I'VE BEEN PRACTICING IN THIS PARTICULAR FIELD OF ARCHITECTURE , MULTI FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL AND FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS, AND YOUR LICENSE INSTEAD OF MY LICENSE IS IN GOOD STANDING IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. HAVE YOU APPEARED BEFORE THIS BOARD? NOT FOR THIS BOARD, BUT NUMEROUS SPORTS SPORTS. MR CHAIRMAN. WE OFFER MR. I WAS GOING TO HAVE MR JACK MR RAKER AS A EXPERT IN ARCHITECTURE. UM. JUST ONE QUESTION BEFORE. I THINK YOU REALLY JUST HAVE TO GO THROUGH.THE ELEVATION AND MATERIALS, BUT ONE QUESTION DID YOU PREPARE OR SUPERVISED THE PREPARATION OF THE PLANS AND ELEVATIONS? DATED JUNE 23 2023 TOTAL NINE SHEETS. I DID UNLESS THE BOARD HAS OTHER QUESTIONS. CAN YOU TAKE US THROUGH? THE ELEVATIONS AND THE MATERIALS TO BE USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THESE 20 UNITS. SURE AND YOU KNOW, ONE THING THAT WAS POINTED OUT IS THE RELATIVE SCALE OF THESE BUILDINGS IS NOW MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE SCALE OF THE OTHER BUILDINGS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND YOU KNOW, WE'VE TRIED TO KEEP A VERY SORT OF A COMMON ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS TURNED GABLES THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT ARE CONSISTENT. WE DID VARY THE STYLE A LITTLE BIT SOME OF THE STYLE AND COLORS. UM, JUST BECAUSE THIS IS A DIFFERENT PRODUCT TYPES, WE FEEL THAT YOU HAVE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT LOOK AND STAND OUT. UM WE BUT CONSISTENT MATERIALS, BRICK FIBER CEMENT SIDING, WHICH IS MOST PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR. IT'S A HARDIE SIDING. IT'S A COMPOSITES OF RECYCLED SIGNING THAT USES CONCRETE, VERY STABLE AND LONG, ADORABLE MATERIAL, AND THAT'S BOTH THE WOOD TONE MATERIAL AND THE WHITE MATERIALS THAT YOU'RE SEEING UP THERE. UM WE HAVE A BELIEVER USING A DARKER GRAY WINDOW THAT RUNS IN CONTRAST TO THE WHITE UM, AND THAT'S A THAT'S A, UH, IT'S A VINYL WINDOW, BUT IT COMES AS A PARTY WHEN IT COMES IN A NUMEROUS COLORS WILL GO WITH A DARKER ROOF THAT WILL BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE PANELS. I THINK FOR THE EXHIBIT. WE JUST SHOWED A LIGHT ROOF SO YOU COULD ACTUALLY SEE THE PANELS IN THE EXHIBIT, BUT WE WOULD WANT THEM TO DISAPPEAR AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. UM METAL RAILINGS, AND THERE ARE SOME CANOPIES THAT ARE ALSO METAL ON THE PROJECT AS WELL. THERE'LL BE SIMILAR IN COLOR TO THE ACCENT, COLOR AND GRAY. UM, I CAN JUST TAKE YOU THROUGH BUILDING HEIGHT. THERE ARE TWO BUILDINGS. EACH BUILDING HAS ITS OWN HEIGHT BUILDING A, WHICH WAS WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE PLAN, THE ONE ON THE LEFT THAT ONE IS 42 FT. SIX INCHES BUILDING B, WHICH IS THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS 44 FT. THE DIFFERENCE? THE BUILDINGS ARE IDENTICAL. THE DIFFERENCE IS SIMPLY THE GREAT AROUND THE BUILDINGS THAT THAT'S WHAT VARIES THE BUILDING HEIGHT. UM I BELIEVE THAT. FINISHES THE ARCHITECTURAL. THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS. I KNOW THE PLANS WERE SUBMITTED TO PRESENTING QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE PLANS THAT CAN GO THROUGH THEM, UM UH , YOU HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THE TOT LOT. THE. THE PICTURE SHOWS A WORD IRON FENCE SURROUNDING IT. IS THAT COMPLETELY SURROUNDING IT? YEAH BOTH PARKS ARE FULLY ENCLOSED BY A 36 INCH ALUMINUM FENCE. THERE ARE GATED. I'LL HAVE GAINS, RIGHT? WE MOVED ONE OF THE GATES AT THE PLAY PARK SOUTH AWAY FROM BRACKNELL, AND IT'S NOW ACCESS FROM EAST HARDWICK, THE OTHER. PLAY PARK NORTH HAS TWO GATES AS WELL OFF A VILLAGE DRIVE SIDEWALK. THEY'RE BOTH GATED. OKAY FULLY ENCLOSED. IN FACT, PLAY PARK NORTH. THE GATE GOES AROUND THE BACK. THE EQUIPMENT, AS MR TROY SAID, IS ON ITS WAY. SO WE'RE WAITING FOR A RESOLUTION ON FINISH IT SOON. RIGHT MR CHAIRMAN. WE HAVE NOTHING FURTHER ON ARCHITECTURE . UNLESS THE BOARD HAS QUESTIONS FOR OUR ARCHITECT. UH, PROFESSIONAL STAFF. ACTUALLY I HAVE A QUESTION. THE WHITE ARE OTHER BUILDINGS IN THEIR WHITE WHITE OR WHAT I MEAN, DOES ANYONE KNOW BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHITE DOESN'T LAST VERY LONG, ESPECIALLY BEING ON THAT BUSY ROAD. I KNOW THEY ARE THEY AND THEY STICK OUT A LOT, SO I MEAN, THEY KIND OF DO WHEN YOU DRIVE THROUGH THERE, SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF THAT FINISHES IF THERE'S ANY CONCERNS OUR MAINTENANCE OF A VERY WHITE YOU MEAN WHAT? THE WHITE ELEMENTS YET, ESPECIALLY THE WALLS BACK THERE ON THE SITE? THE SIGNS? YEAH. YEAH. YEAH I CAN SPEAK TO WE. WE DO A LOT OF THIS. THE
[01:35:04]
HARDBOARD SIDING IN LIGHT. IT'S A VERY SORT OF A COLOR THAT'S COMING IN RIGHT NOW. THIS SORT OF DARK CONTRAST WINDOW DARK SIDING NEXT TO THE WHITE SIDING IS SOMETHING THAT'S VERY, VERY POPULAR RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S VERY EASY TO CLEAN. AND THEN THERE'S BRICK. IF YOU NOTICE THERE'S BRICK AT THE AT THE LOWER LEVELS, SO THAT TAKES UP A LOT OF THE DURABILITY AT THE LOWER LEVELS THAT FIRST LEVEL HAS A LIGHT GRAY. GREAT. I'M SORRY. IT'S HARD TO SEE ON THAT RENDERING, BUT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BEST TO POINT OUT THAT THE GOTTA LOWER BUILDING MARK THAT SIDE ELEVATION. THERE HAS A PANEL OF BRICK UP TO THE WINDOWS ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND THEN ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE FRONT OF MY WRONG, JACK. THE FIRST FLOOR YEAH, AT THE RECESS, WHERE THE WHERE THE DOORS EITHER WHERE THEY ENTRY DOORS ARE YOU HAVE BRICK THERE AS WELL. SO THAT WILL BE AN ELEMENT THAT CAN KIND OF SOFTEN THAT COLOR. ON THE WHITE. THE OTHER POINT ABOUT WHITE. THIS IS AS JACK MENTIONED . THIS IS NOT VINYL SIDING. IT'S HARDY. PANEL IT'S A MUCH MORE DURABLE, UH CEMENT MATERIAL. IT COMES OUT PRE PRIMED, AND FRANKLY, IT'S MUCH EASIER TO CARE FOR WHEN VINYL SIDING FADES, YOU PRETTY MUCH HAVE TO RIP IT OFF AND REPLACE IT. YOU KNOW, 10 YEARS FROM NOW, AND WE'VE BEEN USING THIS PRODUCT FOR OVER 20 YEARS. UH IT DOES FADE AS ANY PAINTED MATERIAL. WILL YOU REPAINT IT? YOU DON'T HAVE TO RIP IT OFF. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT. IT'S VERY STABLE. IT DOESN'T DETERIORATE FROM UV EXPOSURE. SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE WENT WITH THIS PRODUCT. THANK YOU. MICHAEL. YES. MATURITY. OF WHITE AND IN THE COMMON. ABOUT THE OTHER. THE SAME WORK. IT WAS NOT OUR INTENTION TO USE THE SAME BRICK BUT THE SAME FAMILY OF COLOR. SO WE WOULD UTILIZE THAT BRICK PICK SOME OFFSET COLOR THAT WORKS WITH THE COLORS THAT WERE SELECTED. EXACTLY. YEAH THERE'S A FEW DIFFERENT PRODUCTS OUT THERE. ONE IS CALLED WOOD TONE. IT'S UH IT'S A IT'S A PARTY MATERIAL THAT'S FINISHED AND MADE TO LOOK LIKE WOOD. GREAT. EXACTLY BREAK. THE THERE'S THE GRAY BRICK BASE, AND THEN THERE ARE SOME AT DARKER. YOU SEE SOME DARKER TRIM THAT'S ALSO HARDY TRIM. IT IS DARK GRAY. YES, IT'S A DARKER GRAY COLOR. YES. THE BRICK IS A GRAY BRICK. IT DOESN'T REALLY GO WITH THE RISK LIKE DOESN'T WHEN WE INTEND TO HAVE A KIND OF MATCH. THE REST OF IT DOESN'T QUITE MATCH QUITE RIGHT. TELL EXACTLY. MR SOLOMON. WHAT'S THAT? WHAT WAS THAT BEST COMMENT? CAN YOU SPEAK INTO A MICROPHONE? FRANK CAN YOU SPEAK INTO THE MIKE? WE CAN'T HEAR YOU. IT'S NOT THAT OF OKAY. THIS IS LIKE THE BEST COMPARISON LOOKS GREAT. RIGHT? IN THIS VIEW, OKAY. ALRIGHT YOU DON'T WANT TO MATCH. NORC. YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF RENDERINGS THAT SHOW THE ARCHITECTURE. THERE YOU GO. THERE YOU GO. I WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO TELL YOU THAT THE BRICK THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS IT'S A STRETCH TO SAY IT'S EVEN IN THE SAME FAMILY AS THE BRICK THAT'S OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS CHANGING THE COLOR PALETTE FOR THOSE TWO BUILDINGS. WE INTERNALLY REALLY LIKED THE LOOK. CERTAINLY THE SCALE AND THE RHYTHM OF THE BUILDING THE ROOF LINE AND THE[01:40:04]
PROPORTION IS FINE. THERE'S ANY NUMBER OF COLOR OPTIONS THAT WE CAN LOOK AT TO MAKE THAT THOSE TWO BUILDINGS A LITTLE MORE COMPATIBLE WITH THE MATERIALS THAT ARE ON THE EXISTING TOWN HOMES, AND WE'RE HAPPY TO EXPLORE THAT WITH MIKE AND YOUR STAFF AND I'M MORE THAN WILLING TO MAKE THAT A CONDITION PRIOR TO BUILDING PERMIT BEFORE WE SUBMIT THE PLANS FOR PERMITS.PERSONALLY I PERSONALLY THINK THAT CONTRAST LOOKS BETTER. I MEAN THAN THE UNIFORMITY AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE IT'S SIX AND ONE PERSONAL FORMATIVE. LOOKS LIKE SHERRY, SO I IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE WANTED IT TO MATCH SCALE WISE, BUT WE FIGURED BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT MATCH SCALE WISE, WE KIND OF LIKE THE LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT HMM. I THINK WE CAN'T COME TO A COMPROMISE. I'M SURE WE CAN COME TO, I THINK WOULD BE A MISTAKE TO MAKE RED. MAKE IT RED BRICK, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW WE'RE PICKING UP ON A LOT OF THE NEUTRALS THAT ARE IN THE EXISTING BUILDINGS, AND THOSE NEUTRAL COLORS ARE GOING TO BE A PART OF THE NEW SCHEME. THE EXISTING BUILDINGS I THINK ARE MOSTLY BRICK, CORRECT. CORRECT. THERE'S A FAIR AMOUNT OF BRICK ON ON THE FRONT SOME BUILDINGS AT PROMINENT CORNERS. I THINK THERE'S EIGHT OR 10 SPECIAL LOCATIONS OUT THERE WHERE WE ACTUALLY MADE THE SIDES FULL BRICK. BUT FOR THE MOST PART, THE FRONT FACADES OR MOST OF THE BRICK IS BUILDINGS AND I'M NO ARCHITECT, BUT I THINK AT LEAST TO ME WHAT STANDS OUT IS THE UM, THE VERTICAL WHAT? LOOKS LIKE SIDING ON THIS BUILDING. I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS SURROUNDING THE HARDY PLANK THE PLANK WOOD. YEAH THE TELECOM. I MEAN, THERE'S A SERIES OF DIFFERENT AND I DON'T MEAN TO OVERSTEP. YOU KNOW, THAT'S OKAY. IT'S A IT'S A IT'S A VERTICAL SIDING. THAT'S JUST IT'S A HEARTY VERTICAL WOOD SIDING. IT WOULD LOOK, CITING YEAH. COME BACK TO THE FACADES MARK. YOU KNOW? THAT SIDING JUST THOSE PIECES LOOK BETTER AS BRICK TO, YOU KNOW, TO AT LEAST TIE HIM IN TO THE OTHER BUILDINGS. I'M NOT AGAIN. I'M I'M NO ARCHITECT. I FAILED FINGER PAINTINGS. I HAVE NO IDEA . I THINK THE PROPORTIONS OF THOSE ELEMENTS WORK WITH THE PROPORTIONS OF THE ELEMENTS ON THE TOWN HOMES. THE THREE STORY THAT THE WIDTHS OF THE BAY'S WORK WELL WITH WITH WITH THE EXISTING AND I THINK THAT'S TO ME, THAT'S WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT. SURE. AND YOU'RE THE ARCHITECT AND IT'S YOUR AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO RESOLVE THIS EVENING . WE'RE HAPPY TO CONDITION PRIOR TO BUILDING PERMIT TO COME TO SOME CLOSURE, DISCUSSION SESSIONS AND YOUR STAFF. THIS IMPRESSION. WATER CONFERENCE. NOW, RIGHT? WOULD WE AGREED. THE WHITE FATHER. LIKE WHENEVER YOU SEE THOSE WHITE FENCES I'M LIKE, WHO THE HELL SAID DESIGN THESE WHITE FENCES HERE BECAUSE THEY STICK OUT LIKE CRAZY. SO WHAT WORRIES ME IS THAT BIG WHITE WALL TO BE QUICK IN WITH THEM JUST BUT AGAIN, LOOKING AT IT IN A SMALL THING. RIGHT RIGHT. IT'S NOT THE FRONT. IT'S KIND OF THIS SIDE. THESE PIECES ARE FROM BUT IT'S NOT MUCH. YES I DON'T KNOW THAT'S JUST BUT THERE'S AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO LISTEN. I'M NOT A DESIGNER WRITER. SO YOU KNOW PEOPLE THAT IS TRUE. I GUESS MAYBE IF YOU IF YOU ACTUALLY SAW THEM, PERHAPS MY, YOU KNOW, SAW THE PIECES AND THOUGHT IT IF IT WOULD WORK, WE WOULD WE CONDITION WITH A DISCUSSION WITH MICHAEL, WHEN YOU GUYS DECIDE ON THE BEFORE WE COME IN FOR BUILDING PROJECT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH PLAN REVIEW. IN ANY CASE, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING. COLOR COLOR COLOR? MM HMM. RECORDS LITTLE BIT DISCONNECTED. WELL THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE TRIED TO ACHIEVE TO MAKE IT WORK. I THINK I THINK WE GOT ENOUGH BRAIN POWER TO PUT TOGETHER A GOOD SOLUTION. WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. I THINK IT'S MORE CHAIRMAN. I THINK KAREN HAS THAT SHE HAS.
SHE KNOWS HOW TO DRAFT THAT SAME LANGUAGE CHARITY HAS. BUT WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO IS, UH, WHEN IT'S TIME FOR THE BOARD TO VOTE , JUST KIND OF RUN THROUGH THE CONDITIONS SO I CAN WORD IT. AND THEN IF ANYBODY HAS AN ISSUE AND WE CAN MODIFY THAT. WELL, MR CHAIRMAN, AND I KNOW YOU HAVE A 10 O'CLOCK? UH HARD STOP, SO I THINK OUR DIRECT TESTIMONY IS COMPLETE. I HAVE FIVE WITNESSES
[01:45:08]
AVAILABLE FOR ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AS THEY COME UP OR IF THEY COME UP RIGHT NOW, I THINK WELL, AND OUR DIRECT PRESENTATION AT THIS POINT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY NOW WE'LL GET TO PUBLIC COMMENT. A COUPLE OF THINGS FOR THOSE THAT ARE GOING TO COME UP. PLEASE VERY LOUDLY AND SLOWLY SPELL YOUR NAME AND PLEASE TELL US YOUR ADDRESS. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TELL US YOUR ACTUAL ADDRESS, JUST TELL US THE AREA THAT YOU LIVE IN. CORRECT YEAH, YOU CAN JUST INDICATE YOU LIVE IN MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP SOMEWHERE ELSE. THAT'S FINE. SO COME ON UP. TELL US YOUR NAME AND SPELL IT SLOWLY. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS AISHA HAMILTON'S A. Y E S. H A.THE LAST NAME IS EASIER. H A M I L T O N I LIVE AT 15 EAST HARTWICK DRIVE IN MONTGOMERY CROSSING, SO IT'S ALWAYS INTERESTING TO SEE THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ROADS THAT I ACTUALLY DRIVE ON AND LIVE ON. UM ONE OF OUR CONCERNS IN THE DEVELOPMENT IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SPEEDING AND IT'S IN THAT CONTEXT THAT I'M GOING TO MAKE THESE COMMENTS ABOUT THE PLAY PARK. AND IT BEING MOVED. UM IF THE PARK IS RELOCATED, UM , THE RESIDENTS FROM 129 UNITS AND THE OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT WOULD HAVE USED THE PLAY PARK IN THE NORTH AREA. SO THAT'S THE APARTMENTS OF MONTGOMERY CROSSING THE APARTMENTS THAT HILLSIDE AND THE PROPOSED CHARBEL BUILDINGS WOULD INSTEAD HAVE TO CROSS VILLAGE DRIVE TO REACH THE PAPERWORK LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE. UM THE SPEEDING THAT WE'RE SEEING IS ON VILLAGE DRIVE. UM AND SO THIS IS THIS IS NOT IMPROVING THE SITUATION IN ANY WAY AND IN FACT, IT'S GOING TO HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY. UM I WAS REALLY HAPPY TO SEE THE CHANGES THAT CHARBEL IS MAKING WITH RESPECT TO THE FLASHING PEDESTRIAN LIGHTS. UM, BUT I WOULD ASK THAT WE HAVE A COUPLE OF MORE CHANGES THAT WE CONSIDER IN THE AREA. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHERE WE'RE SITTING AT THE STOP SIGN TO TURN ONTO VILLAGE DRIVE OFF OF EAST HARTWICK TO HEAD OUT TO 5, 18 AND CARS JUST COME SPEEDING DOWN. AFTER HAVING TURNED OFF OF 5 18 AND TO VILLAGE. IT'S NOT A GOOD SITUATION THERE. THERE ARE CHILDREN THAT PLAY ON THE STREETS ON EAST HARTWICK, SOMETIMES ON VILLAGE A LITTLE BIT AND ON HARD WAKE. UM AND WE THINK THAT PERHAPS ELEVATED INTERSECTIONS WOULD REALLY HELP SLOW PEOPLE DOWN. UM THE THESE ARE LITTLE KIDS PLAYING OUT IN THE STREET BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT CLOSE TO PLAY AREAS. UM, SO WE NEED TO BE REALLY MINDFUL OF, UM , IMPLEMENTING MORE SPEED MITIGATION EFFORTS IN THE AREA. UM THE N J D O T COMPLETE STREETS AS DESIGN STREET DESIGN GUIDE TELLS US THAT, UM, YOU HAVE AN 85% FATALITY RATE WHERE CARS ARE GOING 40 MILES OR MORE . UM THESE CARS ARE GOING VERY FAST ON VILLAGE. UM, WHEN THEY GO DOWN TO 20 MILES IT'S A 5% FATALITY, RIGHT, SO THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE. UM AND A VERY HEAVILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, SO I WOULD ASK VERY MUCH THAT ANY CONSIDERATION OF, UM THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN OR OR THE ZONING ORDINANCES TAKEN TO EFFECT THE IMPACT OF TRAFFIC AND SPEEDING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC. HI PLEASE, UH, SPELL YOUR NAME SLOWLY AND TELL US WHERE YOU LIVE. EVENING EVERYONE. NOW THIS IS A TOUGH ONE. MY NAME IS A VERY LONG ONE. SO WHEN I BURY YOUR PATIENTS, SO MY NAME IS SHUBA, BROTHER, YOU SPELL IT AS S U B H A B R A T A AND MY LAST NAME IS CHOWDHURY. YOU SPELL IT AS C H O W D H. YOU ARE RIGHT. OKAY RESIDENT OF 11 SWEETBAY ST AND PART OF THE MONTGOMERY CROSSING, UH, COMMUNITY AND I ECHO WHAT? MY NEIGHBOR I SHACK SHED FULLY SHARE HER CONCERNS AS WELL AS THE PROPOSALS. SHE MADE KIND OF TO ADD TO WHAT? I WAS ALSO REVIEWING THE NEW PROPOSED PLAY
[01:50:05]
PARK, MOVING FROM THE NORTH TO THE CENTRAL PARK AGAIN ANOTHER CONCERN AND AGAIN TO WHAT AISHA SAID THAT IT WILL. WE DON'T THINK THAT IT WILL ADD TO THE CHRISTIAN SAFETY BECAUSE PRACTICALLY WE ARE MOVING THE PLAY PARK LIKE ABOUT 100 M FROM ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO THE OTHER SIDE, AND WHICH SIDE HAS TWO MORE KIND OF ROADS AS NARROW ROAD A STREET FLANKING THAT NEW PERSEID AND THIS NEW SITE SEEMS TO BE IF YOU HAVE THE PLAY EQUIPMENT BETWEEN THE PLAY EQUIPMENT AND, UH, KIND OF STEEL RAILINGS. THERE'S NOT MUCH OF A KIND OF A GAP OR MARGIN, SO BEING A MYSELF AND OUT OF A TODDLER KIDS WILL BE KIDS. I THINK IT'S INCREASES THE SAFETY RISK OR KIND OF A CONCERN FOR US AND THE SAFETY OF THE KIDS KIND OF BANGING INTO THE RAILINGS AND PLAY EQUIPMENT WHEN THEY ARE RUNNING AROUND BECAUSE THERE IS NOT MUCH SPACE IN THE THIS NEW PROPOSED LOCATIONS, SO THAT IS ANOTHER CONCERN. I WANTED TO ADD , AND HENCE ALL THIS KIND OF URGING THEM PLANNING BOARD TO KEEP THE PLAY PARK IN THE NOT OF THE VILLAGE RIGHT IN THE PAST FOR THE PROPOSED PLAN ORDER EARLIER PLAN THE ORIGINAL PLAN SO YOU WANT TO KEEP IT WHERE IT'S PROPOSED AS OPPOSED TO MOVING TO THE CENTRAL PARK AREA ? YES YES. OKAY IT SOUNDS LIKE THE HOR ALREADY DECIDED. THEY AGREE WITH YOU. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.ANYBODY ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC. HI GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS THAT TANGO TANGO STEP, BUT I'LL TRY OUR A. D. H A P E R U M A L L A I LIVE IN 53 START WITH DR. JUST OPPOSITE THE CENTRAL PARK THERE.
OKAY SO SAME HERE. I'M HERE TO OPPOSE THE PROPOSAL TO MOVE THE PARK FROM THE NORTH TO THE CENTRAL SAME CONCERN LIKE MOTHER TO NEIGHBORS SAID. I JUST WANT TO CONSIDER LIKE IT'S VERY CRAMPED PLACE. THE NEW LOCATION THAT WE'RE PLANNING TO MOVE IS MUCH MORE CRAMPED THAN THE OTHER PLACE. I THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY IF WE MOVE TO A CRAMPED LOCATION LIKE IF YOU JUST KEEP THE STRUCTURES THERE. NO SPACE AROUND. IT GETS UNUSED KIDS. THEY WANT TO HAVE A STRUCTURE AND ALSO RUN AROUND THE STRUCTURES RIGHT IN THE IN THE PROPOSAL IT JUST TWO STRUCTURES . WE DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE MUCH CONDUCIVE FOR THE FOR THE PLAYER, SO WE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE YOU KNOW THE PLAY PARK IN THE NORTH, THE NORTH SIDE. YEAH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. HMM.
HELLO. AND BANGLADESH. HARRY LITTLE CLOSE TO MIKE SHERRY. I LIVE IN 23 YEARS TO HARDWICK DRIVE. CAN YOU SPELL YOUR NAME, PLEASE V FOR VICTOR E. AND KAY. MHM, A T. MHM E S. H. LAST NAME H A R. I VERY GOOD. PROCEED THE SAME THING. ESPECIALLY FROM THIS PERIOD POINT OF VIEW. YES, THERE ARE MEASURES THAT ARE REQUIRED ON THE VILLAGE RIGHT AT THE SAME TIME. I ALSO FEEL THAT YOU KNOW, IT NEEDS TO BE THE PART NEED TO BE AT THE SAME PLACE WHERE IT IS RIGHT NOW. THANKS. BE A THEME? YES. IT HAS BEEN A DEPLETED. WE'RE A YOUNG FAMILIES, RIGHT? HI. LET ME PUT OUT JOSHI UM P A R A G LAST NAME JOSIE J O S. H I E 17. SWEETBAY OKAY, SO EVERYTHING THAT THIS GUY SAID MY REAL CONCERN IS, YOU KNOW IF YOU MOVE THE PARK SWEETBAY ENGINEER PER STREETS ARE NARROW STREETS.
AND IF PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, LIKE AROUND THE COMMUNITY, THEY WANT TO COME AND USE IT AND SAY PEOPLE DRIVE IN. AGAIN. THESE STREETS ARE GOING TO GET EXTREMELY CROWDED.
YEAH AND SO JUST, YOU KNOW, AND AGAIN FROM A SAFETY POINT. IT'S NOT REALLY MAKING ANY DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER. SO I JUST WANT TO GO THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. HELLO S. HE AND I WE A S LAST NAME MEMORY WE AS IN VICTOR E M U R. I AND YOU LIVE AT. LEAVE IT TO MONTGOMERY CROSSING. OKAY YEAH, WHAT MY NEIGHBORS SAID. BASICALLY I THINK THE PARK HAS TO BE THERE WHERE IT WAS
[01:55:02]
ORIGINALLY PROPOSED, BUT I THINK I WOULD REQUEST EVERYONE TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF THE AREA IN TERMS OF SPEEDING AND PUTTING IN HIS SPEED BUMPS ARE I THINK THAT SHOULD BE THE MAIN FOCUS AREA BECAUSE MOVING FROM ONE PLACE TO LIKE ONE OF MANY PERCENT. 100 M AWAY. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE RATHER THAN FOCUSING ON ROAD WHERE IT'S CONNECTED TO THE MAIN TOUR. SIX I THINK THAT'S TO ME IS VERY IMPORTANT TO FOCUS ON. THANK YOU. UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU.ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY DO I HAVE AN EMOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT ? MOVED WAS THE MAYOR TO HAVE A SECOND. AND I WAS SARAH AND ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE, AYE. OKAY PUBLIC COMMENTS IS CLOSED. BOARD DISCUSSION. COMMENTS QUESTIONS SMART FOLKS LIKE THAT IDEA OF THE ELEVATED INTERSECTIONS. I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SPEED BUMPS IN THE PAST. I KNOW WE'VE OFTEN GET PUSHBACK FROM THOSE FOLKS THAT ARE MAINTAINING THE ROAD SO, BUT THE ELEVATED INTERSECTIONS ARE DIFFERENT, SO I'M JUST CURIOUS. AND MAYBE, JOE , CAN YOU WEIGH IN ON THIS IDEA ABOUT ELEVATED, UM, HOW THEY WOULD WORK THESE ELEVATED INTERSECTIONS? SO I'M ACTUALLY ORIGINALLY. THIS PROJECT THAT MEAN INTERSECTION. BUILDS TRYING WHERE FOR TALKING ABOUT POST MM INTERSECTION. AND THEN I BELIEVE CAME OUT. THE COURSE FROM COUNCILOR ENGINEER IN NEW YORK CONCERNED ABOUT MAINTENANCE OF IT AND BACK TO THAT, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE ARE WE ARE. LISTEN WE HAVE TO. WE HAVE MAINTENANCE OF THINGS VERSUS SAFETY. SO UM, I MEAN, PERSONALLY, SAFETY OVERRIDES MAINTENANCE OF THESE THINGS. SO IS THAT SOMETHING? WE VISIT SHOULD HAVE WITH MARK CURLY. AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S PROBLEM. YES BUT WE'RE THE ELECTED ONES. SO I MEAN, JUST EIGHT. I MEAN, WE WERE ELECTED AND WE'RE THE SAFETY OF OUR CITIZENS ARE IMPORTANT. SO YES, WE CAN CERTAINLY TALK ABOUT IT.
BUT IF WE IF WE LOOK IF WE DO COME BACK TO THAT, FROM A ELEVATED PERSPECTIVE IS THAT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE FROM GET IT. CAN I JUST CLARIFY? SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS FLASHERS AT THREE LOCATIONS, NONE OF WHICH EXIST TODAY. RIGHT CROSSWALKS THAT'S UH, STAMPED CONCRETE JUST TO THE BOARDS AND WHERE I WANT TO MAKE SURE I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE MAYOR AND THE BOARD IS AWARE WHAT'S SHOWN TODAY AND MR FISHING ER MENTIONED IT WAS CONTEMPLATED INITIALLY. HMM AS A RAISED TABLETOP, IF YOU WILL. WE ACTUALLY WENT OUT AND LOOKED AT A COUPLE EXAMPLES OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE COULD INSTALL AT THAT TIME. GAYLE SMITH, MARK HERMAN ALL INVOLVED.
WE SETTLED ON AND THE APPROVAL HAS CROSSWALKS WITH BETWEEN. EACH OF THOSE CROSSWALKS IS STAMPED COLORED ASPHALT. SO THAT IT WOULD PROVIDE THAT TEXTURE. IF YOU WILL, AT THE GROUND LEVEL, IT'S NOT RAISED, BUT THAT EXTRA TEXTURE WAS SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF THAT TRAFFIC COMMON AND THAT'S HOW IT WAS APPROVED. THAT'S WHAT'S SHOWN ON THE PLAN TODAY, BUT THAT WON'T THAT WON'T BREAK THE WHEEL OF SOMEONE SPEEDING AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
JUST I JUST WANTED TO DIRECT. I WANTED YOU GUYS TO KNOW WHAT'S ON THE PLAN. I'M NOT. NO, NO. WE KNOW WE UNDERSTAND THAT. AND THAT'S WHAT WOULD BE AT THREE LOCATIONS THAT WOULD JUST ONLY KNOW IT'S ONLY PROPOSED THE ONE INTERSECTION WHERE THE CROSSWALKS HER FAR APART WOULD YOU SAY, JOE THERE? PROBABLY 40 FT. APART. IF THAT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE SO THAT WHOLE SECTION OF RUMBLE WHETHER YOU BELIEVE THAT DOES ANYTHING OR NOT, THAT'S THAT WAS WHAT WAS APPROVED.
WE'VE USED IT IN OTHER PROJECTS . WE'VE USED IT ON ALLEYS. WE'VE IT'S A HEATED ASPHALT APPLICATION THEY RUN YOU KNOW, OVER WITH A ROLLER AND IT CREATES THAT BRICK SURE STAMP AND YOU KNOW, IN SOME CASES IT DOES. CREATE. YOU KNOW AN ALERT THAT YOU'RE COMING INTO AN AREA THAT'S DIFFERENT, BUT AGAIN. THAT'S LIKE I SAID, WE CAN WORK WITH. REMEMBER THIS IS A TOWNSHIP ROAD, SO WE HAVE TO WORK WITH THE TOWNSHIP ENGINEER . UH AND MR TROY SAID HE CAN PROVIDES SPEED BUMPS WHERE. WHERE THE TOWNSHIP ENGINEER THINKS APPROPRIATE. BUT AGAIN WE ARE THE FLASHERS ARE OBVIOUSLY CHARMING TECHNIQUE AS WELL. CAN I ASK OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER? I MEAN, THIS IS A THIS IS EXACERBATES THE PROBLEM THAT EXISTS NOW. I MEAN, THERE'S
[02:00:02]
GONNA IS GONNA BE A MAJOR TURNAROUND FOR ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. ANYTHING. ANYBODY TURNING RIGHT ON 5 18 IN GOING BACK TOWARDS, UM NORTH ONTO A SIX FOR WHATEVER FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IS THAT THE 5 18 TO 6 CORRIDOR. IS GOING TO BE USING VILLAGE DRIVE. AM I CORRECT? IT'S THE PART OF THE PLAN, RIGHT? RIGHT SO THE WHOLE POINT TO TRY. EASED LOAD. SURE. I THINK THE FINAL FEELING STRIKING IS NOT. MAN. STILL, IT'S STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. MINE TOO.ONCE WE HAVE THE STRIKING IN THE WHOLE OF THIS THE PARKING AND SIGNING AND EVERYTHING. FOR WORK MORE LIKE A RESIDENTIAL STREET. OTHER THINGS AND STILL HAVE TO BE DONE THAT ARE AND I DO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SAME TIME IT CONNECTION IS NOT RIGHT NOW. REALLY ANYONE THAT'S ON VILLAGE DRIVE. BECAUSE IT DOESN'T. RIGHT WELL, I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S MY POINT. IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT EXACTLY A RESIDENTIAL. I MEAN, I DON'T WANT TO CALL IT. A RESIDENTIAL STREET IS CERTAINLY A RESIDENTIAL STREET, BUT IT IS PROPOSED TO BE AND ACCESS POINT FOR THE TOWNSHIPS PLAN. YEAH.
PROVIDING CONNECTION BETWEEN RIGHT BALANCING IT. QUITE FRANKLY. THE POPULAR BEING HOMELESS OR SOMETHING. SERIOUSLY. IS GOING TO LIMIT IT. BUT THAT OF HELPING SPREAD THE TRAFFIC OUT. THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT MY CONCERN WAS AND NOT NOTWITHSTANDING THE SAFETY CONCERNS. BUT YOU KNOW, IS THERE POTENTIALLY ANOTHER SOLUTION. MORE CREATIVE SOLUTION BY PROVIDING A I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S SPACE AND WE'RE VERY LATE IN THE GAME FOR ADDRESSING THIS, BUT LIKE A ROUNDABOUT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO DIVERT TRAFFIC INSTEAD OF THWARTING TRAFFIC BY BY BY A PHYSICAL BARRIER, REALLY, BUT I DON'T THINK THERE IS SPACE FOR AROUND THE MOUNTAIN THROUGH THERE. WHAT HAS BEEN FLOATING BACK AND FORTH THAT PART. HUMILIATED WILL BE A FOUR WAY STOP. TRUE NOT PUNISH FAR AWAY, STOPPING JUST FOR TRACK. TRAFFIC. WHAT HAPPENS IF WE JUST LITERALLY TOWN AND FOUR WAY STOPS PEOPLE WITH JUST IGNORING AND WE START TO SEE HOW MUCH TRAFFIC IS COMING THROUGH. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE TOWN CAN LOOK AT. IT WILL. MAYBE IT DOES MAKE SENSE. ANOTHER STOP SIGN. TALK ABOUT WHAT IN TAMWORTH AND WELL. AS WELL. THAT ONE POINT OBVIOUSLY, I DOWN FAIRLY QUICKLY BECAUSE OF THE GRAIN ISSUE COMING UP VILLAGE DRIVE. I DON'T WANT TO PUT A STOP SIGN. GOOD JOB WORRIED ABOUT CAR SLIDING. BACK DOWN THE ROAD. IT'S GONNA BE UGLY IN MIND ONCE THE ROAD IS FINISHED. WHY. APART FROM THE STRIKING WILL HELP NOW. MHM HAPPENING NOW. AS FAR AS YOU SORT OF LEAVING THEM OUT. WAIT THE RAISED MANDIBLES.
THERE'S NOTHING ONCE THE ROAD IS COMPLETELY. AND JOE WHO DECIDES ON THE SPEED LIMIT OF THESE WORDS. ULTIMATELY THE TOWN COUNCIL. TYPICALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS ONE ONCE THE ROADS ARE UP, AND. IF IT'S NOT YOUR BASIC 25 BY ORDINANCE, WE WILL DO. A SPEED STUDY MIGHT ACTUALLY JUST SENT TO INTO MARK. ANOTHER ROSE IN TOWN WHERE MEASURE HOW FAST PEOPLE ARE GOING, AND BASED ON THAT THE RECOMMENDED SPEED LIMIT ONCE THE ROAD IS UP AND RUNNING IN TOWN COUNCIL HAS THE ABILITY IT MEANS THAT SPEED LINE AND WE DO WANT INTO FROM MARK. RIGHT OKAY. JUST A CLARIFICATION. THE BASE PLAN IS 25 MILES ON THAT SPEED ON THE ROAD RIGHT NOW IN TEXAS AND 25. MR CHAIRMAN. JUST BE CLEAR. WE'LL WORK WITH THE TOWNSHIP TO TOWNSHIP ENGINEER EMERGENCY SERVICES BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE A. THEY HAVE A POINT OF VIEW AS WELL. SO PLOWING. THAT'S YEAH, USUALLY BLOWING IS OKAY.
[02:05:04]
SO WE HAVE NOTHING. WE HAVE NOTHING FURTHER. UM I DON'T KNOW . I DON'T THINK I HAVE TO SUM UP BECAUSE WE'VE HAD GOOD, CLEAR TESTIMONY, AND IN FACT, SOME ISSUES WERE MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES. SO, UM, I THINK WE'VE WE'VE PROVIDED THE TESTIMONY FOR THE VARIANCE. I THINK THIS IS A PROJECT THAT'S WELL DESIGNED. IT'S LIMITED THE AMOUNT OF PARKING IT'S REDUCED TO THE IMPERVIOUS ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU HEARD, SO I THINK IT'S WORTHY OF YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, ONE LESS COMMENT, THOUGH. I'M ACTUALLY SURPRISED, AND I'M GLAD THAT PUBLIC IS HERE TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT BECAUSE ONE OF THE REASONS WE ASKED, WE LOOKED AT WHERE THE TOP PLOT PLOT IS AND WE THOUGHT, JEEZ, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF VILLAGE WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING AND IT'S A MEAT, IT'S A YOU KNOW, A BIG ROAD THERE THAT WE THOUGHT IT MADE MORE SENSE ACTUALLY, TO PUT IT IN THE CENTER BECAUSE THEN WE LOOK AT THE BULK OF WHERE PEOPLE LIVE THERE CROSSING SMALL LITTLE ROADS, NOT THAT BIG INTERSECTION , SO IT SURPRISES ME GREATLY. SO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE PEOPLE COME AND VOICE THEIR OPINIONS SO AND IT APPEARS THAT THE H O AGREES.I WOULD SUGGEST THAT AS PART OF ANY APPROVAL THAT THERE BE SOME LETTER FROM THE A YES, STATING THAT YOU KNOW THAT IT IS THEIR DECISION NOT TO HAVE IT IN THE CENTRAL PARK AREA UNDER THE H OF H O A DOCUMENTS THEY'VE NOTICED FOR A SPECIAL MEETING. THEY PROVIDED THE NOTICE REQUIRED WHEN MEMBERS OF THE OA 101 UNITS ARE SOLD, ONLY SIX LEFT TO SELL. AND SO TOMORROW THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD THEIR SPECIAL MEETING AND I'M SURE THEY WILL ADOPT A RESOLUTION OR SOME FORM OF WRITING. THEN WE COULD SUBMIT TO THE, UH TO THE BOARD. I WOULD JUST I WOULD MAKE IT AS PART OF YOU HEARD OF THIS PART OF THE ENTIRE APPROVAL AND ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, IN THE FUTURE WHEN SOMEBODY COMES BACK AND SAYS, HOW COME YOU DIDN'T PUT IT IN THERE OR SOMETHING GOOD TO SAY, WELL, THAT WAS THE WILL. YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT IT'S THE WILL OF THE O AND OF THE PUBLIC BECAME HERE TO TALK TO US, SO I THINK WOULD BE IN EVERYBODY'S INTEREST. THANK YOU. AND MY LAST COMMENT WOULD BE THAT, UM, I AGREE WITH PAUL. YOU KNOW, IT'S A IT'S A BALANCE BETWEEN GETTING THAT LOOP ROAD FINISHED. WHICH I THINK THE TOWNSHIP REALLY, REALLY NEEDS ALSO JUST MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE AREN'T TAKING THAT ROAD AT 40 MILES AN HOUR, WHICH TO ME IS A POLICE ISSUE AS WELL. UM I WOULD I WOULD URGE THE CHARBEL FOLKS, UM. TO HAVE WHATEVER CONVERSATIONS.
