Attorney Middleton explained the property is located on Belmar Boulevard, west side of Route 34. Three separate properties are included, lots 28, 31 and 32. The property is located in the GI-2 zone. Three one story buildings are being proposed. They are approximately 12,000 s.f. each.

The property consists of 4.2 acres. Attorney Middleton stated the only issue is the loading area.

Attorney Rubino said the buildings will be divided between office and warehouse space. He said Building A will be 40% office space, 30% warehouse and 30% distribution space. Buildings B and C will contain 80% warehouse space and 20% office space. Attorney Middleton agreed.

Attorney Rubino said one other problem is the loading zone in the rear. The applicant must submit an application for Subtitle 1 of Title 39. He also stated signs must be posted stating no tractor trailers will be permitted beyond a certain point. Attorney Middleton said they will comply.

Robert Yuro gave his credentials which were accepted by the Board.

Attorney Rubino said at the TRC the applicant agreed to no display in front of Building A. Attorney Middleton said the display area will be removed. He said they will provide an additional 10 – 12 parking spaces in its place.

Mr. Yuro said the site consists of lots 28, 31 and 32 in block 917.01. It is located in the GI-2 zone. It is on the south side of Belmar Boulevard. It is 100’ – 150’ from Route 34. It consists of 4.2 acres. It is vacant and wooded. The site is fairly flat. When you get to the rear of the property it slopes. There is a small wetland feature which has been delineated. The 50’ buffer will remain. Three one story buildings are proposed. Building A – 12,012 s.f., Building B- 12,600 s.f. and Building C – 11,050 s.f. That is a total of 35,662 s.f. Building A will front Belmar Boulevard and buildings B and C will be behind building A. There will be a two way driveway, 25’ wide along the west side. A 25 space parking lot will be located to the left. Mr. Yuro said that 97 parking spaces were proposed but there will be an additional 10 – 12 with the elimination of the display area.

Mr. Yuro said buildings B and C will have roll-up garage doors. A small loading zone will be located in front of each door. Mr. Yuro said there is a large loading zone in back of building A. The other units are not going to receive tractor trailer deliveries.

Attorney Middleton said during the TRC we agreed to put up signs prohibiting tractor trailers from going back to buildings B and C.

Captain Morris asked what would happen if building B or C needed deliveries from a tractor trailer. Mr. Yuro said they will off load at Building A. They will have to move the supplies by dolly.

September 30, 2002 Page 6

Chairman Braun asked if a tractor trailer pulls straight in it can pull into building B and then pull back out. Mr. Savacool said they haven’t looked at that. Mr. Yuro said they can circulate around the back of the building. He said there will not be a lot of traffic going to those buildings.

Committeeman Devlin said you know a tractor trailer is going to try and get back to building B and C. Chairman Braun said his concern is can the truck back out. Mr. Henry said if a tractor trailer did come in and go to building B it could back into the loading area and exit the site. Mr.

Wright will be on site to enforce no tractor trailers going to the rear.

Attorney Rubino suggested putting a restriction on the deed as well as in the leases prohibiting tractor trailer deliveries to buildings B and C. Mr. Henry agreed.

Mr. Tobia said there should be no overnight parking. Mr. Henry and the Board agreed there will be overnight parking in designated areas only.

Attorney Middleton said they will comply with all review letters.

Mr. Yuro said he will take up the grading and drainage with Mr. Gerken.

Mr. Henry explained the plans for the appearance of the buildings. He said the front portion of building A will have split face block and stucco in gray tones. He said the parapet will come out a little. It will also be stucco. The rear buildings will be the same. He said they will be a little lower in height. He said the rear buildings will be a little simpler.

Mr. Giardina asked about the HVAC units. Mr. Henry said the HVAC unit for building A will be installed on the roof. Buildings B and C the HVAC will be located within the individual units. He said they will be screened.

Mr. Tobia asked that the landscaping in front of the building facing Belmar Boulevard be enhanced. Attorney Middleton said that can be done.

Chairman Braun asked Mr. Henry to describe the types of uses. Mr. Henry said building A will be of corporate quality. He said buildings B and C could have up to 13 different tenants. He said depending on the space required the number could be less. He said they would be small businesses, such as contractors and plumbers. He said most of the tenants will have a small amount of employees and small trucks.

Chairman Braun said he is concerned they will have many trucks. He said the Board needs to know the control mechanism. Mr. Tobia said in the past we have said there will be no outside storage. Attorney Middleton said there will be no outside storage whatsoever.

Mr. Henry said none of these buildings will be able to handle many trucks. He said they can limit the overnight parking to the parking lot between buildings B and C. Ms. Wilson asked for

September 30, 2002 Page 7

those restrictions to be put in the lease. Mr. Henry agreed.

Mr. Maczuga asked about the wall mounted lighting. Mr. Yuro said there will be wall pack lights located outside at the loading area of building A. He said all lighting will conform to Township ordinances.

Captain Morris asked how you identify each tenant. Mr. Yuro said each tenant is allowed a 20 s.f. sign. There will be a main sign in the front driveway. He said each tenant will have a name on their space.

Mr. Henry said there will be directional signs throughout the site.

The application was open and closed to the public.

Mr. Tobia moved to approve the application for Preliminary and Final site plan subject to payment of taxes and applicable assessments. The applicant shall comply with the review letters of the Board Professionals. The applicant will comply with the review letter from Wall Township Fire Prevention Bureau. The applicant will comply with the requirements of Freehold Soil Conservation District, Monmouth County Board of Health and Monmouth County Planning Board. The applicant will obtain approval from DEP and DOT. The applicant will comply with Wall Township Affordable housing Trust Fund and ADA requirements. The applicant will obtain a tree removal permit.

Attorney Middleton said he accepted first, then Mr. Godek’s attorney notified Attorney Middleton that he was rejecting the offer. Attorney Middleton explained that piece of land will belong to the owner of Lot 11.04. He said a landscape buffer will be placed between lot 11.04 and Mr. Godek’s property.
