the uh planning board meeting for the Burrow of Highland Park. Uh so with that, we'll do the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation
under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you. Thank you. Can we take roll call, please? Miss Han. >> Yes. >> Mr. Brushes. >> Mr. Chin, >> here. >> Miss Hazy. Mr. Hail >> here. >> Mr. Ho. Mr. Lenerys
>> here. >> Mr. Malay >> here. Mr. Pearlman, Mr. Stern Cardinell, Mr. Williams. >> Thank you. >> All right. We're here uh for the one item on our agenda this evening, which is a memorialization of a resolution
already passed by the board P2025-05 for YFM space LNN810 North Second Avenue LLC and their minor site plan exceptions and request for waiver of submission requirements. This matter was heard at
our August 14th, 2025 meeting and approved then. And tonight we are looking at the resolution to see if the resolution matches what we agreed to at that meeting. I was not present at that meeting, but I did watch the video. So with that, I'll open it up to board
comments on the resolution. >> Uh on page two at the second line from the bottom, all right. They indicated that uh this plan will reduce the imperous
coverage. They're not changing they're not changing the shape of the building. They're not changing the u parking lot. So it's hard to imagine the
impervious would be reduced. >> So that's what he testified. But uh in substance, since there's no change to the physical building foundation and parking, would it be appropriate to add a sentence on here saying that the application does
not seek to change the foundation or other impervious parts or >> Well, the No, I don't think so. I mean, the the point is I don't think the >> the impervious coverage went down. >> Okay.
Uh, >> so that you may have testified to it, but it didn't seem to be true from the site plan application. The impervious coverage remained unchanged. >> Perhaps he meant in instead of will not increase impervious coverage. But anyway, that's I don't recall either way
exactly what he said. >> We could change it to that then. So instead of reduce improve coverage will not increase improve coverage. Does that work? >> That works. Uh on page four
second line from the top I don't understand what that whole sentence means. We kind of val any concerns that's going through material. >> Is this related to the same concept that there's no increase in impervious coverage so there wouldn't be concerns
about the permeability of the lot. He's talking about he's they're taking trying to have some sustainability issues in there. Further added that the proposed improvements will align in the subject
property with the surrounding area. There are no permittability. How do we just drop that last sentence or the the last uh >> drop the phrasing and there are no permeability concerns? >> Yeah,
>> get on board with that. Anyone have any objections to that? >> Um on we get on page six. Uh >> I'm sorry, what page? under where it says now it would be resolved. Item six, it says the applica
applicant shall utilize a slow release patch basin as part of its storm water attenuation. >> Sorry. Oh, it's five. Number two. Okay. What? What's the problem with number
two? >> Yeah, >> I don't they didn't discuss it in attenuation. They just had to the river slightly tilted and it goes up down the uh what's the word I'm looking for?
Uh the the pipes that go down the water down >> spots >> down spouts. >> That's right. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> So you think it would be more accurate to say the applicant shall utilize
additional downspouts? What what would your recommendation? >> I think to it just should be pulled out. It's I think it's wrong unless somebody else remembers something different than I do. Well, aren't these items that they will do that were not on the plan? And isn't
that what the approval is subject to the following terms and conditions? These are not something these are something that were agreed to in the process of us of our approving as I recall. >> Yes. >> Is that what Yes. >> These are it's not like this is this was
on the plan. This is what we're doing. I I would I I mean, if Mr. Cotch was here, he would know better. But this looks to me like okay, we have the these are these are conditions of approval. This approval is subject. So it means
that I don't know that's I don't understand. >> I interpret it as these being additional points that were not in the original application but were added as part of discussions. You don't you don't remember? >> Chris, do you remember any of this? Well, on the on the topic of impervious
coverage, they are reducing impervious coverage because part of the revelopment plan requires removing uh sufficient number amount of pavement to be to obtain a one foot step back on the property line. So, in previous will be, but the comments that were made by
the board, I think we're fine not to be uh as to the additional measures agreed to during the course of I agree with board member Malay that these are comments made during the meeting. uh if the question is is this correct proper terminology I don't recall but I may
suggest then maybe add a short phrase at the end of number two comma and or other measures as approved by the board engineer that that way it gets flexibility just in case this language is not precise but it gets referenced to the board engineer which is what we
would like to calculate for resolution compliance. >> How does everyone feel about that? Uh let's let's see what they have to say when they see this. >> Oh, that's fair enough. Well, tonight's
uh review of this is to say we the board feel like this resolution with these changes memorializes what the board chooses to do. So I think the suggestion adding andor other measures as approved by the burough engineer covers us in case that's problematic. >> Okay.
>> And that way we don't have to come back to it. >> Right. All right. Any other items? >> No. >> Right. So, we have the modification on page two, the cross out at the top of page four, and the addition to the
resolution item number two on page five. Okay. I don't think I have to open it up for public comment since this is a board's memorialization resolution and not something for application. So with that we take a I'll solicit a motion to approve the memorialization with the
changes. >> Oh question is didn't say that where would you >> he said that our suggestion of will not increase impervious coverage was an acceptable alternative language. >> Okay. So again does anyone want to make a motion to approve subject to the
modifications? >> Second move and then Patrick I think was second. Okay. and we'll take a roll call vote then. >> Okay. Um, Mr. Chen, >> yes.
>> Mr. H. >> Yes. >> Mr. Lys. >> Yes. >> Mr. Met. >> Yes. >> Mr. Williams. >> Yes. >> If you need my vote, my vote would be yes, too. Even though.
>> Okay. Uh with that, did anyone have any other topics or concepts they wanted to share? >> Uh yes, I do. Um two things. Um one is that uh right now for anyone who's viewing from from home. Uh there is
currently a redevelopment information session at the senior center. Um go see that. It's possibly more exciting than this meeting and possible. And the other thing I'd like to mention is that um next week
there will be a demolition of a home on Harrison that was damaged by Hurricane Ida 2021. It's going it is state property. Um and there's a possibility that it can be used for municipal open space purposes. So, if you're interested
in knowing more about that, I encourage you to uh to contact the burough administrator or the Bureau of Lacers at NGD. Thank you. >> Always good to know about what's happening around town. Okay, with that,
I will open up the meeting to any public comment on items not on the agenda. Anyone want to be heard? Want to be here? Come on up. You have the >> Can I talk about this this YFM? Uh, I mean, you can make comments, but the resolution to approve the application
was made in August, and this is just a memorialization of those terms that were already approved. So, nothing discussed is going to change that, but we're always happy to hear what members of the public have to say. So, just if you could state your name and your address and then feel free to
>> Sure. Abraham Sha Nojovitz, 41 North, Highland Park. Um, >> I'm sorry. Could you spell your last name for me? >> N O J O V I T Z. >> Thank you so much. Go ahead. >> Uh, so I'm just confused to know is does that mean that this was approved or now
they're going to have to make changes again and come before the board again? >> We're making no changes to what was approved in um August. This is word smithing of what those changes that were approved was given to the applicant to let them do their construction project. >> Just to be clear, this is the
>> Ah, we didn't change anything. So sorry about that. >> Yeah. So from from this now, can we submit for our our engineering and building permits, >> Chris? >> I think the answer is yes. >> Yes. So in the resolution just adopted
tonight and I believe Morin will sign it tomorrow if you're in tomorrow. Uh that becomes an official legal document memorializing the board's decision back in August. Uh it'll has contained in it a number of conditions you need to comply with which will include revising
your plans and submitting them to both Bruce and myself or Bruce's designate and myself for review. Once we say they they meet the uh the intent of the approval resolution what you testify to and we can we will write recommen
recommendation letters to the construction code official to um basically issue construction. So, you should be revising your plans if not already now. Uh, and then submit them. That way, they're ready to be issued,
but still gives Bruce and myself time to make sure it complies to what you presented to it. >> Okay. Got it. Thank you. >> We have this whole meeting just for you and your resolution. >> That's great. Feels privileged. Thank you so much. >> Thank you. Thank you. Do we have anyone
at home who wants to be heard? Oh, we don't no one at home. >> There's one person, but >> they didn't raise their hand. All right, that's all right. All right, with that then I will um solicit a motion to adjurnn. So move second. >> All in favor? >> I
>> Thank you so much, everybody. >> Come downstairs. >> Yep. Come on down. >> Thank you. Thank you.
