Chairman
Braun said this project was previously approved. The ordinances were changed.
Attorney
Mancuso said this project was approved in January 1989. It was to be built in two phases. The first phase was completed. The second phase was not built because of
economics. A variance is needed for
building coverage because of the ordinance change.
Mr.
Christopher Mancuso said they are proposing a 27,260 s.f., one-story addition
to the existing building. Presently
Sealed Unit Parts rents space at the airport which will be moved to the new
warehouse.
Attorney
Mancuso asked if there would be additional employees. Mr. Christopher Mancuso said no.
Attorney
Mancuso said the parking is sufficient.
Mr. Christopher Mancuso agreed.
Attorney
Mancuso asked if the thirteen banked parking spaces will be put in. Mr. Christopher Mancuso said yes.
Attorney
Mancuso said there will be five loading docks.
Mr. Christopher Mancuso said yes.
Attorney
Mancuso asked how many deliveries will there be per day. Mr. Christopher Mancuso said between four
and five.
Mr.
Luttman asked about refuse containers.
Mr. Gerken’s review letter states no dumpster enclosure has been
provided where one is required.
Attorney Mancuso said he will go over that. It was built in accordance with the original application.
Mark
Reme gave his credentials which were accepted by the Board.
Mr.
Reme said he is familiar with the site and plans. The property is located on Landmark Place.

The
applicant is proposing a 27,260 s.f. addition.
Two new loading spaces will be added for a
total
of six. Five are required by
ordinance. A regional detention basin
will be utilized. Lot coverage is
64.5%. The drainage system will handle
that.
Attorney
Mancuso asked if the basin will be sufficient.
Mr. Reme said yes.
Attorney
Mancuso asked Mr. Reme if he reviewed the Board Professional’s review
letters. Mr. Reme said yes.
Attorney
Mancuso said the landscape plan was not done by a landscape architect. We will agree to all landscape comments.
Attorney
Mancuso said 51 parking spaces are required, 80 are being provided.
Attorney
Mancuso said there will be no basement.
There will be no additional signage.
Mr.
Reme said the refuse container is in the loading zone. It can stay the way it is. Mr. Gerken agreed.
Attorney
Mancuso asked about run-off. Mr. Reme
said run-off will go into a manifold system into an existing manhole.
Attorney
Mancuso said the applicant will comply with the comments in Mr. Gerken’s review
letter.
Mr.
Kiley asked how many parking spaces are required for a warehouse. Mr. Reme said 51 spaces are required and we
are proposing 80. Chairman Braun said
at the TRC the professionals asked that the applicant bank some parking spaces
but after discussions we decided that they be built.
Attorney
Mancuso asked Mr. Reme if he felt this application met the Township
ordinances. Mr. Reme said yes.
Attorney
Mancuso said there will be less traffic.
Mr. Reme agreed.
Mr.
Reme said there will be no detriment because of this application.
Chairman
Braun asked what type of trash will there be.
Mr. Christopher Mancuso said there will be a lot of office garbage. Recycling will be picked up. There will be just regular trash.
The
application was open to the public.
Chris
Ulrich, 2411 Atlantic Avenue, was sworn.
Mr. Ulrich said he has letters from other unit owners. He said he has a concern with a building on
the left and one on the right of him.
He said the water from Kinder Care drains to the easement. It floods out the back of our unit spots. He
December

said
after this is built there won’t be any ground for the water to go. They are asking for a variance for building
coverage that will double the size.
Chairman Braun told Mr. Ulrich he cannot speak for other people just for
himself. He told Mr. Ulrich the Board
cannot take those letters.
Mr.
Morris left the meeting.
Mr.
Ulrich said his main concern is what is happening around him. Two other buildings
have been built since this was first approved.
I have a concern with flooding.
Mr. Christopher Mancuso said he has not noticed a problem. Chairman Braun asked how the water gets from
this site to the easement.
Mr.
Morris returned.
Mr.
Gerken said it goes from Landmark Place to the south around to the back corner
into an open pipe which picks up the drainage.
Chairman
Braun asked why is there a problem with Kinder Care. Mr. Gerken said he will go out and take a look at it. Chairman Braun said it sounds like Kinder
Care has the drainage problem.
Deputy
Mayor Thomson said we cannot take care of that here but our Engineer and
Building Department will. Deputy Mayor
Thomson asked if the drainage will end up on the site. Mr. Ulrich said the plans look like
everything is going to that spot.
Deputy Mayor Thomson asked where it is going from the detention
basin. Chairman Braun asked how the
water gets out of this site. Mr. Reme said
it goes southwest from this site to an existing manhole and will get picked up
by a pipe system.
Chairman
Braun said the Board will take a five minute break so Mr. Ulrich, the applicant
and our engineer can discuss this.
The
Board recessed at 8:05 P.M.
The
meeting resumed at 8:12 P.M.
Chairman
Braun said Mr. Ulrich spoke with our professional and the applicant. We are convinced that the drainage system
works. It should not flood. Maybe there is a blockage or grading
problem. Mr. Gerken said it seems to be
in the area where the pipe is. Chairman
Braun said Kinder Care did not do their landscaping and we will have this
checked. We will make sure all the
pipes are open and clear. Chairman
Braun asked Mr. Gerken if this project will bring any additional water to the
site. Mr. Gerken said no.
Chairman
Braun said there could be a problem if the pipe clogs up. Mr. Gerken said it may need to be
reshaped. Attorney Mancuso said they
will do whatever Mr. Gerken suggests.
Chairman
Braun said we are going to see that it gets taken care of.
