before the board before but the property manager Brian Gorman is also here to testify if necessary okay why don't we swear both of your Witnesses in as well as our professionals just for the record so everyone just raise your right hand to tell you the truth nothing but the truth so help you out for the record Bo's witnesses as well as the op Witnesses have been swor and you want to proceed Rob or yeah I'm GNA I'm gonna call Rob he happens to be up here okay have you appeared before this board before yes I'm a licensed professional engineer professional planner state New Jersey I'm a graduate of New Jersey Institute of Technology I have over J about 30 years experience now I've testified before this board as well as numerous boards throughout New Jersey offer him as an expert in those fields no objection you can proceed Rob would you briefly describe what this application is all about appc before we get into the description we do have a handout oh I'm sorry can mark that as exhibit Mr flager I'm not sure what exhibit number we're up to A1 um this is already in your package but he's highlighted in red yeah so A1 is basically the site plan that we submitted as part of application with the the prop we accepted all your prior stuff that's part of the record this we'll mark this as A1 since it's C so it's it's a colored rendering the red square and I apologize I I'm not a good colorer it's supposed to be a square but the red highlighted area is the area or location of the proposed sun shade and it's the same image that's on the board to my left and really briefly the site is identified as block 13 tax slot 2.02 is located along the east side of Route 34 at the intersection with Roberts Road and is within the rural conservation r4r Zone the property is currently developed as the Pantano Nursery which consists of a two which consists of a two-story commercial building green houses and Nursery stock site access is from two paved full movement driveways along Route 34 and paved full movement driveway along Roberts Road which provides access to approximately 105 parking stalls um as you can see from that rendering and the handout the site improvements are generally to the west or left side of the property along Robert along Route 34 I'm sure everybody here is familiar with this site I get into a little more description the site manager here if you have specific questions but that is the site in a nutshell the applicant is proposing to install a 60x60 sun shade along the north side of the existing building which is that red highlighted area the sun shade is a metal frame structure with a mesh roof it's designed to provide some sun shade for the existing Nursery stock that's very sensitive to sunlight there are certain plant material and again the off the site manager can get into it but there are certain plant material that is more sensitive to sunlight than other material so the sun shade is providing just that shade for those materials it's going in a location that's already part of the display area for the nursery stock all we're looking to do tonight is to get approval to install that sun shade in that already used display area that's really the applic application in a nutshell okay no other site improvements are proposed uh to our Our Town Representatives do we have any uh what are our issues with this installation there's really no um issue with uh the application um um it's a permitted accessory use in the zone District um I think it's very typical of um this type of business what they're proposing and from a planning perspective I really see no issue with it okay um Mr chairman if I could just elicit a few uh questions and responses um so uh Mr Civ the the shade will have no sides no permit correct there's no side walls correct literally just the there's no side partitions or anything around ITR it's not enclosed so it's literally just going to be a canopy correct um is this in an area that is open to patrons are you expecting people to be back there or is this only for the workers at I'm going to defer well does does he have to be sworn sworn oh he did okay we should Vince just just run through his who he is and his his connection to the what your relationship is to the app my name is Brian Gormley I'm the Retail Nursery manager for pantanos um I just started there in November um so I'm responsible for all the plants ordering and taking care of them and displaying them um which is why I'm here because my plants are dying because they're in the sun um so we're just trying to get this shade structure it will be it's in the display beds um so it will be accessible to customers as they go through it's in the display area they so in his description he said it's mesh water will come through oh yeah water goes through it's just strictly a shade structure to keep the Sun from scorching the leaves of the the plants that we have existing there does it stay up all season no it can um it's a fabric mesh um we take it down you would almost every single Garden Center has one you probably see no matter Garden Center you go to but um it would come down in the winter you just do it for the summer sun my understanding is the metal frame will stay the metal frame will stay you just comes off right the fabric mesh comes off and how how tall is this uh from from the ground to the peak don't that know the off to think it's about 12 my understanding I think it's 12 feet to the lower half and then has a to it and it's about 15 ft to the peak I'm not going to say it's the exact numbers but it's in that General ballpark okay one additional question um with the surface area there is this going to be permanently installed by way of some type of footings uh there are Foo there would be footings um but it's not attached to the building it's a freestanding these will be bolted down theoretically removable at some way if need be but that's correct like that would require construction permits through the uh Construction office when you say bolted down you mean bolted down to a footing to a footing right so they have the 18inch diameter Sono tubes you see for like a deck and then they have the bolts embedded in the concrete so that's how it's attached to the ground any intention of a I guess this is a common question here no construction trailer I would presume for minor Improvement like just want to make sure we got that out uh that's really all I have Mr chairman okay and I'm assuming it's going to be engineered for winds extreme winds hurricane kind of winds like with the building code Accord they have a set of building architectural plans they will provide to the building department that will comply with the building code okay okay um any more questions from our professionals no anyone on the I guess board have any questions or comments no my question was going to be about the anchoring system but that was the answer fully okay thank you yeah so okay if we have nothing further from anyone I guess at this time we'll ask for anyone from the public right have any comments yes clarify for the board it's just it's just a minor site plan I they there's no other relief required but unfortunately because it's a that's a structure forizon that's why they're here otherwise they would have just got buil per yeah that's kind of I was wondering if it's if there's no objections to anything it doesn't that's right have require a variance I was kind of didn't know why was even being before presented to us I have one one comment one one question for me I have no problem with the structure as it's uh depicted here but the location of it would would it be possible or or not to move it farther back so it's not so close so you can't really it's not an isore from Route 34 so in other words just move it back on the property or that's not workable it's not uh the way we we planned it we have um annuals perennials and shrubs each one that we need shade so we tried to concentrate that into the center so that one side could be annuals one side could be perennials and one side could be shrub so that's why we put it in that area so that we wouldn't have to put up three separate structures thank you and you're not planning on using the mesh as an advertisement for any reason okay I have to ask CU I've seen that before so yeah so okay uh if there's no further questions of the board uh anyone in the public have any comments at this time well usually comments first and question oh it's other professional com okay all right questions or comments at this time no okay so I guess at this time we can yeah we can at this time we'll close the uh the public portion of this um guess now we make a motion right to accept make a motion to approve the constru by sh okay uh I guess we take a roll call now y yes yes yes yes thank you thank you very much everyone to good luck with your perennials and everything else so thank you yeah okay uh I know

Redevelopment plan for Block 27 lot 7 presentation of Crawford Hill development plan by Leon aan did I pronounce that right this this Redevelopment plan has been prepared for an area that has been designated in need of Redevelopment with condemnation for block block 27 lot 7 the Redevelopment area is for property located along Homedale Road to be known as the Crawford Hill Redevelopment project uh area um I'm I'm going to um excuse myself from this matter I'm going up steam so of abundance of okay okay is is someone making a presentation y yes oh oh okay all right oh okay Mr chairman if it's all the same I think I had discussed what the parties that this is the planner show from here on out so okay unless you have an objection I will uh y That's and uh save the applicants some money all right thank you Ed have a good night take every good night good night Ed yeah oh that's right thank you um you're more tuned in than I am so the township committee introduced uh the Crawford Hill Redevelopment plan at the most recent uh committee meeting um and the plan is for the Redevelopment of black 27 lot 7 located on Hell Road um permitted uses in the plan are consistent with the memorandum of understanding between the township and the designated redeveloper um the permitted uses include indoor Recreation General Business and Professional Offices Medical Offices supportive retail including restaurants totaling no more than 20% of the building gyms Health Centers and fitness centers uh research and development Laboratories or offices for profit educational uses personal service establishments public and quasy public uses Child Care Centers senior daycare centers um freestanding signs referen referencing public uses on um neighboring Lots 6 and 6.01 and any combination of two or more permitted uses the plan allows for the Adaptive reuse of the existing building or the Demolition and reconstruction of a new building adding no more than 50% of the area of the existing building to the new building um and under no circumstances would the structure be located any closer to home Del road than the existing structure there are other bulk uh standards outlined within the plan but I won't read it all uh to you uh for brevity um neighboring Lots 6 and 6.01 in Black 27 will be under the ownership of the township for conservation Recreation and open space and will continue to house the horn antenna um so do you have any questions about that free development plan so we found that the Crawford Hill Redevelopment plan was consistent with the master plan for the township of Homedale um the master plan documents have pre previously emphasized establishing a balance of uses that benefit the residents and visitors of the township protecting environmentally sensitive areas um compatible that are compatible with nearby land uses from other municipalities and that align with the goals and objectives of the mammoth County master plan uh these initiatives are reflected in and are consistent with the following goals and objectives from the 2020 reexamination report and the 2004 master plan as they pertain to this Redevelopment plan so some goals and objectives specifically from the 2020 reexamination report were to provide for the protection and property management of Hell's uh natural resources this Redevelopment plan is doing that by protecting the horn antenna um to preserve home Dell's high quality of life by protecting the Township's Open Spaces from development and reducing the negative impacts associated with the development sites as such the above reference reference ordinance is consistent with the townships master plan um to provide for future land uses and development at suitable locations and appropriate intensities with respect to existing land patterns the location and capacity of roads and infrastructure the limitations and sensitivities of natural resources and the Pres of of resources and to promote the preservation of natural systems and environmentally sensitive areas particularly Wetland Woodland Coastal flood Hazard and aquafer recharge areas um the 2004 master plan had similar um goals and objectives um So based on all of those we found the Redevelopment plan to be consistent with hell's master am I right in saying there is no uh light manufacturing allowed that is correct research and development Laboratories are allowed but they're different than light Manu are listed below on page eight and it gives everything that she just went over yeah in the master plan not the master plan sorry the Redevelopment just turn it off underneath and everything that's any concept plans goes before Township committee prior to before coming before the planning for any Redevelopment right so there is um there would be a developers agreement with any potential redeveloper um and that would be agreed upon with the township committee um and then any s plan would come to you I have a question too um so what happened was that the township purchased the horn portion of this property right we're talking about the remainder of that land now right correct okay and there was no um let's see so the township committee then um suggested or passed a resolution that says that these stated uh uses are acceptable correct Well they um introduced oh it's the first reading kind of thing I see so you're here today just to um determine whether or not this Redevelopment plan is consistent with the master plan and further um it allows the destruction removal of the building or reuse of the building correct and in terms of um uses the last bullet point said any combination of two or more permitted principal uses so given that list in theory you could have multiple uh uses of that that or any new building corre yes and and then so therefore when they came when a future developer comes to us with a plan with that includes uh any of these that are on this list then that is those that then is a permitted use right so this is basically the new Zoning for that lot right same which I don't see anything wrong with one two or more or three uses in that area at all in terms of um residential um do I see I don't see residential on there correct correct it's strictly prohibited correct yes any use that's not permitted would be prohibited so for instance child care and Senior daycare in no cases would that overnight stay correct be permitted right yeah senior daycare is different than you know like an assisted living facility or something like that okay thank you any other questions what um is there anything to add I guess there's nothing to add at this point else just want to do by motion don't make a motion um I'll make a motion second Mr Fagan yes Mr Emma yes Mr King yes Miss pelus yes Mr Silverman yes m Mr Bell yes okay um any professional reports at this time no all right well if that's the case I think we're done till September 3rd right is that correct W right okay wonderful that's going to be three months away so applicant that just came before us can we do a zoom we could do it by phone I mean we'll have to set it up might be a special right time V we can just so if we get five of the current board members that were here tonight here just pass it when that's ready well not by Zoom we could do a phone you that phone thing or have' done that before like the hybrid but Zoom is not not the hybrid it's somebody can call in you were going to call at one time there any way we so we so one person would be here just control the audio that would be or just

going to be away I'm leaving on Tuesday I'll be back July 17th 17th so it'll be about a month know when it's ready and then when there's five of us ready we maybe we just do a quick special two minute meeting yeah I don't want this guy's plans to die he needs it for the summer so if we want to help we should try to pass it sooner rather later yeah if we have to come in for five minutes not a big deal yeah at least not I don't want to speak for everyone but for me it's it's not a big deal so I know think I'm the so all right so um I guess motion to adjourn right great second all right yay yay
