Is that still the case? >> All right. Then we'll move on to resolutions and we have one resolution this evening which is for application 24-006 Franchesco paprii 222 North 19th Street.
Mr. Radio. >> Yes. Mr. police. He appeared in front of us at the October 28th meeting uh for his single family house and uh requested that requesting variance relief to convert
his uh existing garage into a bedroom with a walk-in bath. He had one variance involving the front yard setback. I think there was approximately a 7 in deficiency. the board granted the approval for that construction. We have
our normal conditions. We had one um different condition in terms of the front yard driveway the board which is condition number six. The board requested that be widened to the left in order to safely accommodate three motor
vehicles. Uh, and the board also indicated that no CO would be issued for that extra bedroom until the driveway was widened in order to accommodate those those vehicles. And we indicated a six-month timeline for that for that to
occur. Uh, other than that, it was a pretty straightforward application. >> Okay. So, would someone like to make a motion to approve? >> Like to make a motion to approve the resolution. Motion made by Mor Carlo. Do we have a second? Second by Mr.
Grimaldi. Roll call. Those who heard the case, which I did not. >> You did not. >> I did not. >> Okay. Mayor, >> yes. >> Councilman, >> yes. >> Mr. Kiy,
>> yes. >> Mr. Lady, >> yes. Mr. Kella. >> Yes. >> And >> yes. Okay. Resolution's passed. Now, is the applicant here?
Are we on publication yet? Good. >> Okay. Oh, wait. I'm just I was asking about the applicant for the resolution. >> Okay. So, being that they're not I guess we don't have any to provide to them. I guess they'll find
out through some resolution. >> Okay. >> Thank you. All right. So now we can move on to um item seven which is application 25-008 nest count corporate property urban
renewal LLC preliminary and final major site plan 2000 Galvano road block 181 lot 1.011 0.1 okay all right uh good evening Mr. Chairman, members of the board, Jason
Tubel, attorney uh for the applicant. As the board is aware, this is the property at 2000 Galloping Hill Road. It's the large corporate campus uh that Onyx or Kennaworth Corporate has now now owns. The property was previously subdivided uh by this board. The piece of property
that we're talking about is the property that was retained by my client that has the significant amount of office space and buildings on it. So, this project is pretty straightforward. It deals with nest 15 which is one of the buildings on the campus. Um the goal of this project
is to incorporate courtyards and some amenity space within that structure. So although and what what's interesting about this project is although it is outside, it is still within the four corners of the building. So there's no expansion of the building that were that that currently exists at the property.
Um there'll be no office space that we're adding. It's truly interior improvements. And the reason that we're doing it is that when these properties were constructed many, many years ago, they were really constructed as single tenant users. And that's not the case anymore. The space is going to be rented
out to multiple tenants. And the way that they're laid out now, in order for one tenant to go to their space, they have to walk through another tenants's space. So, the goal here is to create courtyards so that doesn't happen. The goal is to create amenity space that the employees of these tenants can use. So,
you'll see that um in the renderings. And then then there'll be some improvements to these outside areas as it relates to drainage and improving some of the turf and landscaping within these three courtyards that are uh that are within the desk 15. So I have one witness that I plan on calling, Mr. Chairman, um Dan Mola from Lightman
Engineering. We have no variances associated with this application as um confirmed by your professionals. I can also stipulate that there's no comments in the board professional letters that we can't comply with. So we can stipulate to that um right away. So Mr. Mr. Chairman, with your permission, I'd
like to call Mr. Miola. He uh before we do that, I'm going to have swear in our professional >> Brian Kush Quo, our engineer, our board engineer, our board of planner. Gentlemen, with regard to this application, do you swear any testimony? You may give some truth. >> I do. Thank you.
>> Okay. Okay. Great. So, office witness is Dan Yolo with Wing Engineering. So, we should swear him in and then I can go through his qualifications. >> Very good. Thank you. Okay. Ready, Mr. >> Thank you. Um, and with regard to this application, do you swear the testimony that you're about to give Shelby the truth? >> Yes.
>> Could you state your name and spell your last name for the record, please? >> Sure. Daniel Viola. M I O L A. >> Thank you. >> All right. And Dan, if you can just go through your qualifications as a professional engineer in the state of New Jersey, licenses held, educational background, and experience testifying before similar boards.
>> Sure. I'm a chairman of the board. >> Yeah. Remember, Mr. More appeared before us previously and the board accepted his credentials. so we can move forward. >> And your licenses are still in fact and everything's >> Yes, everything's in good stand. >> Good. >> Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. So, why don't we get started with just
orienting the board to the existing conditions and also where this building is located on the site. >> Sure. I'm going to uh start with a first exhibit that depicts an aerial view of the track uh known as a former M tract
at 2,000 gallons. >> Shut this. Yeah. If um are you going to show us anything that we do not have? >> Yeah, we're going to mark these. Yes. All right. So, we'll mark this first exhibit is A1. And Dan, you can just describe what A1 is. You need to make
A1. It's hard to see. >> Yeah. It'll get brighter. Oh, there you go. >> Okay. As it comes into view here. Uh we have the prepared by your office. This was prepared by my office. Uh it's an
aerial exhibit. It's entitled tracks aerial exhibit. Uh drawing number 81. Uh you have just before the board north at this point to the left. So so Galloping Hill Road is on the left side. The Garden State Parkway which is on the west side of the site is across the
bottom. 31st Street is down here on the right. Uh and then the the neighboring uh residential community is on the top of the page there to the east. Uh, and what we're focused on tonight, uh, is this building at the extreme south part
of the site that fronts on South 31st Street, known as the Nest 15 building. Uh, if you recall last time we were here, uh, we were here for improvements made to the Nest 11 building, uh, which is being repurposed for a data center
use. We've also been here before to to effectuate the subdivision in order to allow for that that sale uh of that part of the property. So again uh >> yeah I don't know why it's >> we're so again we were here uh last time
for this nest 11 building. Um, we're now here to discuss this S15 building here. I guess let's see what happens. I'll get started. kind of weird. Okay.
A1 now exhibit one marked at 8 ft. HEAT. HEAT. JASON, what's going on? tonight. >> All right. Uh
so uh we're going to mark this A2. >> A2 please. >> Uh again Hill Road to the left of the exhibit. Wal Avenue, Ryan Harrison Union is is to the top. South 31st Street is here on
the right. Garden State Parkway is across the bottom. Uh we are here for this national land building which has been uh currently reconstructed uh to be repurposed as a data center. Uh and we are here to discuss the in the corner
improvements proposed for this K15 building which is really one of the uh one of the jewels of the campus. It's a laboratory/off building 1.2 2 million square ft largest building on site. Uh which again houses
a lot of the the labs. Um so why don't we go to the next exhibit that shows zooms in on the area that we're so little mark. This is 83. A3. >> So this is a zoomed in version of of K15
or nest 15. Correct. >> That's correct. Uh you can see here South 31st Street at the bottom right of this exhibit. Uh and this building uh was 1.2 million striking. It has one 2 3
four courtyards. So those are open to the sky. >> Open to the sky. Uh these three out of the four courtyards are completely enclosed by building. This last uh fourth courtyard at the northeast corner is basically closed on three and a half
sides. But there is a a way out, if you will, to the outside without walking through a building. >> All right. Which ones are we proposing to improve as a result of the application? >> We are proposing uh a carter on the
southern courtyard. Uh two carters on the northeast courtyard and one on the north um northwest. So now we'll go to A4
this one. So that's nest 15 outlined and those are the courtyards in green. That's correct. Um and uh as as was explained by our attorney uh this building was originally
constructed for a single user. Um, however, it is somewhat conveniently partitioned to accommodate uh what we're thinking of as eight different tenant spaces. Um and based on the internal
architecture as to where the common areas are versus where the tenant spaces are, uh these four carvers which are highlighted here in the dark shading are required in order to connect to other tenants spaces without having those
employees walk through another tenant space. So it's really a way to connect the common the common parts of the building. uh in order to to be able to demise this and and lease it to uh again
what we're thinking is going to be eight tenants and Dan just in addition to the corridors could you just describe what else is being proposed in the in the courtyards. Uh sure. So uh the two southern courtyards were proposing to remove the artificial turf there and
place it. uh we're using the planters uh that exist within these two southern courtyards between the two northern courtyards. Uh we are uh we propose rellandscaping as well as some reparcing
uh in this uh northwest. We're also proposing two um what we call meeting pods, but those are going to be enclosed dome like structures uh but essentially what will be a
meeting space like a conference room uh just within a within a pot. The pots will be 20 foot in diameter and 10 ft high. All right. And there was some comments in the Harbor letter. just could you just speak to how drainage will work with the new um corridor um improvements?
>> Sure. Um the the benefit for that is that these are already open to the sky. So they they already have drainage infrastructure within them uh which will largely be maintained for for this cor that's proposed at the northeast. We are
actually partitioning the courtyard into two different spaces. So we will have some additional drainage inlets that will connect into that infrastructure. uh but by and large most of the drainage infrastructure will be maintained uh as a result of the project and there's some
additional landscaping that's being proposed also. >> Yes. Uh in specific this courtyard here the northwest one uh we are proposing some hardscape uh improvements as well as landscape improvements consisting of
uh perennials or mountain grasses etc. Um overall from impervious perspective we are uh about the same. We're actually a little less uh impervious coverage proposed.
And from a large like uh you know building area perspective uh each one of these corners is about 1500 ft. So this would increase the the overall square foot of the building by about 6,000 ft. All right. And then Dan,
in terms of lighting, there was a comment on the cover letter just testimony regarding the internal lighting of the corridors and whether external lighting is needed. >> Yeah. Uh lighting will be proposed for the north west uh courtyard
maintain. Do you want to just show the board now what the uh improvements will look like? So we're up to eight I guess 5 65. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> On the back there so you don't have to.
>> So A5 shows the north west corridor uh which is receiving the majority or which receiving more improvements than the rest of them. You can see uh the heartscape improvements here on the right side consisting of benches, picnic tables, overhead trelluses, and new
heartscape. Um the uh there's sidewalk and seating walls as well as uh landscaping improvements. Um, further it's the the left of this exhibit and you see the corridor which
is again covered walkways across the bottom of the exhibit. All right. So, let's move to the next one. So, we'll call this one A6. A6 shows the uh her pods which is this uh this structure uh towards the bottom
of the incision. Okay. >> And then the last one which we'll label a >> seven. >> Uh this is just a perspective rendering uh of the same view that I showed you on
exhibit A5. Uh just zoomed in to show uh you know fire pit uh seating area and some trelluses and uh some other amendments proposed for that. Okay. Go back to the same point.
>> So you had a chance to review the Harvard consultants letter. I believe it's dated November 18th, 2025. Yes. And to be extended we didn't address anything. You'll comply with all the comments set forth in that letter. >> Yes. As well as anything outstanding in Mr. O'Brien's letter as well. Correct.
>> Yes. All right. That's all I have, Mr. Chairman. >> Thank you. Any board members have any questions or well, let me start with the professionals. Anything additional you guys want to >> uh No, Miola uh answered all my questions for my letter.
>> Okay. Anything else you want to hit, Mr. Brown? >> Uh, thank you, Chair. Mr. Um, the purpose of using the cars is to separate areas within the building. Is that
correct? >> Um, because you're >> for access to areas on the south side that uh would otherwise be uh, you know, to avoid a tenant walking through another tenant space. >> Right. Okay.
And you're anticipating up to eight you say. >> Well, we're we've shown break down which is actually the the top of this exhibit called 10 areas map and this can kind of easily be demised into eight different
10 areas >> and will that be up down through the building um across floors? >> Yeah, we don't know how I don't know if they know that for sure yet. Yeah,
>> that's it. >> Any board members have any Mr. Clemente? >> Do we know that? >> I am not sure. I'm being told this class from M. I'm not sure exact
Mr. This is only first floor that the to those are basically from your owners the tenant layout that they are very easy to create individual buildings out of those
and that's your I guess your general thought that if you do get eight separate tents you can have them in your own space. that this is to transit the building so that you don't go into somebody else's space. Correct.
>> Can you ask the um Did you have something that the corners themselves? They're I think you said they were just a covered walkway. So they're they're not enclosed. Is that correct? >> They're enclosed. >> They are enclosed. >> They count building um showing.
>> Okay. I thought he said it's a covered long way. That's what I heard. >> Yeah, that's what I thought. Okay. So that's enclosed area. >> They're enclosed. There is a wall inside. >> Will it be heated air? >> Yes. >> So it's basically part of the internal
space of the existing building. Okay. Um and the other question I had is all improvements will be strictly within the courtyard. Is there anything >> planned for the facades, the external facades of the building?
>> No. Uh not on the outside of the building. >> Right. That's what I >> We are proposing doors. There's two two additional doors being proposed which are are labeled here on the the north side of the building. One is the doors into a cafeteria space
uh the northwest side and on the northeast side there two two doors to the outside that are going to be used to access the fitness center. Those are going to be both the cafeteria and the the fitness center are going to be campuswide amenities. And so they do respect uh others from other buildings
within the campus using these two doors. >> Yeah, it seems to me that that should be shown on the plans. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I'm sorry. I can't see. Okay. >> Anything else? Any other questions?
Okay. Seeing none, then I guess we can open the hearing to the public. Would someone like to make a motion to open the meeting? We have a motion made by Mr. D by Mr. Gamaldi. All in favor? I >> Okay, the meeting is open to the public. If there's anyone out there who would
like to make comment on this particular application, step forward, state your name and address for the record. Seeing no one. Okay. Motion to close the motion by Mr. Secaldi. All those in favor?
>> I So the hearing the hearing is closed to the public. All right, gentlemen. Based on what you've heard, is there any other last comments or questions? I don't think I heard any conditions um
other than adhering to reports, right? Reports, right, Mr. I'll send it to Kathy and that's fine. >> Then I will entertain a motion to either approve or deny the application. >> Okay. A motion for Mr. Grimaldi to approve the application. We have a
second by Mayor Carovich. Roll call. >> Mayor Carlo. >> Yes. >> Councilman. >> Yes. >> Mr. David. >> Yes. Mr. >> Yes. >> Mr. Mr. >> Yes. Mr. >> Yes. >> And Mr. Beautiful in the snow and these clothes
are beautiful. All right. Geod. All right. So, I guess we can move on to the next item on the agenda. Gentlemen, um, so our next item is comments for the good of the board. Is there any board
member that would like to make comment for the good of the board or bad whatever? >> No, I don't want any bad just Okay. All right. Thanksgiving. >> Yes. I will state that on behalf of myself, the chairman who is not here this evening, I wish everyone a very
happy Thanksgiving. >> Yeah, please post it. Um, >> you're leaving us the exhibits, right? them or >> is that acceptable or do you want the originals? >> Uh, usually we keep them, right?
>> Ideally, they'll uh do you want me to leave? You you don't mind? >> Yes. Yes. >> Um,
