Reyes yes sir the applicant present yes sir I need to swear you in could you raise your right hand yes sir do you swear that the testimony you're about to give should be the truth yes sir your name and address please Kevin toal Reyes address is 501 planfield Avenue
Piscataway New Jersey thank you put your hand down and explain to the board why you're here uh ladies and gentlemen thank you for first off thank you for for coming to this meeting um I am here today to request a variance for the property of
501 planfield Avenue uh where I currently reside with my fiance and my 10-year-old son uh we have a pets we have dogs and cats and the reason for the variance today um the request for the variant is because I am a police
officer in the city of Elizabeth and the City of Elizabeth is a very busy city with a lot of calls and call volume and we recently moved to this uh town and bought our first home here in October of
2024 and we fell in love with the city with with the town of Piscataway and and our new home and I the reason for the move was to uh provide Safety and Security for my family and I just want the most of that
as as as I can as I can possibly get um we need the Privacy um for my son and future kids for our pets for our home and for my mental health overall um
there was a recent uh incident that occurred just this past week uh that was reported with PCAT APD uh with case number 2500 6794 where uh two males approached the property uh
and their direction of entering the property was is unknown I caught it on the ring camera and they were acting very suspicious very shady I met with them face to face and uh they couldn't provide me a company that they worked
for they claimed that they worked for some kind of flooring company to to to to do some flooring to our property but it it was just their statements were inconsistent and it was just really suspicious and from my experience as a
police officer it just it it concerns me for my safety and my family safety so like I said the six foot fence that we want to place around our property is mainly for my mental health our privacy and our
safety thank you for that explanation um Jonathan do you have any comments or statements that you might want to give to the board certainly um Mr taval did you have a chance to review the staff memorandum dated February 26 20202
yes sir okay um we'll start with the we'll start with the shed is it the shed in good condition yes sir so just moving forward in the in the future should the board approve this application uh if that shed needs to be replaced you just need to move it in a conforming location
if it ever needs to be replaced if you understand that absolutely uh and then secondly with the the fence location along wage Street whenever we see these corner lot applications we like to see that fence moved in a little bit just to promote safety on that intersection for
driving so we're asking for the fence to be moved in 15t from the property line so I just um I just drew it on this I just drew it on the plan here it ends up being about 20 feet from the structure along wage street so that's still we
feel like plenty of room um and then we'd like to see the the fence along wage Street to be landscaped with a with a planting buffer so are you agreeable to those terms uh yes sir okay okay any other
members of the board have any questions or comments for this application hearing none I'm going to turn it over to the public anyone in the public have any comments or questions about this application no one chairman okay let's close the uh public portion and I'd make
a motion to approve this application second it okay call the RO one sec uh Mr Weissman yes Mr Patel yes Mr reio yes Mr Haka yes Mr Mondo yes and

board board professionals my name is Tim Arch I'm an attorney licensed in the state of New Jersey I'm representing Manet badw singhh uh as you may recall uh this was an application that we had presented um last month uh in front of the board uh we are requesting uh relief
to uh build a gas station with a small convenience store at 1781 West 7 Street uh we did U uh put our entire uh testimony our application on last uh time uh the board had requested some time to uh go out and do a site visit uh
drive by the site so that they can get themselves more familiar um and we certainly appreciate the uh the interest of the board um we're back here tonight um you know our our uh our Witnesses are back here again tonight um we did if you recall agree to uh all of the comments
in the staff reports uh with one minor comment that we did uh we did we would prefer um to be able to sell lowf flow diesel at the uh location there was a comment that indicated that the staff uh wanted no diesel um we did make that
request we do understand at the end of the day it's entirely up to the board and it's in your discretion to to make that decision but um that is the uh that is the only thing that we're asking for in terms of um the comments on the reports um so with that said um I I think we can take it over from here Tim
thank you so much may I just interject Mr chairman pleas uh since the last meeting Mr Arch uh the staff has issued a revised report uh March 26 2025 are you still in agreement with uh complying with that report yes uh the only the only additional comment was just uh for
time frames for making sure that any easements or any recordable documents are done in a timely manner uh we certainly agree with that and uh uh absolutely that's all I had Mr chairman I have a couple comments Jim I
had uh I think they agreed to them so I'll just go through it uh the mature trees in the back of the property are going to remain is that correct yes yes the canopy will have uh no signs uh I don't I I'll defer to our
architect I I don't actually recall what our testimony was Plus on that I apologize I have a note that it said there was there was no sign shown and as far as I know there's n proposed uh Tyler vandervalk here the
engineer for the project we did provide testimony last time uh you are correct it wasn't shown on the plan we would expect there to be two uh Delta signs uh one along each Street Frontage during the testimony of the
last hearing is that on the on the on the canopy yes thank you are these stretched out across the full length or they no uh I think we indicated it would be the height of the facade of the Cy which is 3 feet um I think it was six
feet long so 3x six for each of those signs and they would be on which bases the each Street brage yeah so the one facing West 7th which would be the Northerly canopy side
and the sly canopy side along W okay uh the EV stations are going to be operable by time for co uh correct we had agreed to that the uh layout of the store didn't show
any tables or chairs and you don't me correct as we testified last time that the point is not to have anybody lastly there's no pole new pole lights being proposed my understanding was no okay that covers
it Mr chairman sorry to interrupt no no no no thank you for your input any other members of the board have any comments or questions okay I'm GNA open up to the public anyone in the public have any comments or questions about this application anybody there yeah everybody in the public you can either raise your
