Um, this evening we have one. We have a capital review board of education, the burrow of Saraveville, Eisenhower Elementary School parking lot expansion. Yeah, I just want to give the board uh a little background on how this works legally because this is a capital review
project the school's doing. The board can only give recommendations which they don't have to follow, but it would be nice if they did follow. So uh you know that basically uh you'll have after this a letter saying oh these we
reviewed it these were our recommendations but they are non-binding. So right who's going to make the presentation? You want to step up and tell us who you are? Hi uh my name is Brian Ees. I am a uh
registered architect with the Speasel Architectural Group. I'm the project manager for the Saraveville school districts. Um, uh, we did receive comments, uh, on or about the 1st of July. Uh, last week, I believe it was Thursday, I had issued a
response letter, uh, to all comments. Um, I'm not sure of the whole board's um, familiarity with the project. Is there a need for me to go through uh, general explanation? I would.
Okay, everybody should have a 1 by7 set reference. So, the existing site um as it's laid out. Oh, sorry. That's okay. No, I got it. Um the the current site,
if you're unaware of the site, um all of the parking is off on the what I'm going to call the plan east side, uh towards the back of the building right here. Um currently, as far as paved parking spaces, the district does not have
enough parking to support its staff. Um we do have quite a few cars that park within the easement on the side, which is is kind of a half dirt, half grass road. Um so the intent was to expand um to put a small parking lot on the on
the southwest side uh to provide additional parking for staff as well as visitors. Um so in doing so uh we took the opportunity um that parking lot that exists is in pretty poor shape. So we
are doing a pretty heavy um mill and overlay as well as a full depth uh parking lot that's new. Uh that works identified here on this drawing. Um all the areas with the X is
reconstruction full depth. Um the area in the back based is based on our um cores that we took of the pavement is mill and overlay. Sorry. So, this is an overall plan um of the design. So, Ernstston Road is at the
south. Uh the front of the building is parallel with Ernston Road. Uh they have a current bus loop here which we have widened slightly. Um, so I'll explain briefly how the current uh traffic flow
works on site. They have a system in process already that works. Uh the intent was to just enhance that to have more parking and to have a safer bus loop uh for when buses are coming through. So timing wise um I know one of
the questions I got back from Matt was about how the site flow works and things like that. So the first thing in the morning is when the teachers are coming in. They're typically there before the buses come in. So we generally will never have bus traffic and car traffic
at the same time. There may be a visitor at certain times during the day, not so much at pickup. Um normally during the middle part of the day. So staff entry um is off of Ernstston
which goes back through the site. We have a turnaround here for them to come back out. Um, and in route there, we've paved repaved this part of the area here with concrete for a student drop off. So, they have a nice long area that they
can queue up so we don't have cars out on the street, which often happens. Um, they drop off and they exit through this central exit lane. Um similarly for the overflow parking cars come in, they come down this in in uh
outside lane, they come through, they can turn down and go into the new lot on the southwest side. Um that would be for the additional teachers who don't have parking on the back here. Um, so once those cars are in, it's pretty
much there's no movement through the site until the buses come in. The buses use this second larger entrance here off of Ernston to come in and they queue up in the loop. Um, they often do two rows staggered. Um, the school has aids that
come out to help the kids off the bus, usher them onto the sidewalk and into the school. And as buses clear, they move, they leave, and they go to the next school or wherever their next stop is. Um, and that's currently how they function now. Uh, and it's worked very
well. Um, the parking lot over here, uh, we are not adding any new lights. We're using the existing lights. Um, basically milan overlay. This was kind of a split between full depth and milan overlay. Restriping. We have some signage. We
obviously have directional arrows for for parking and the loop in the back here. Um, this area um, currently it was a playground. That playground is going to get relocated by the school to the back.
So, it's not in the parking area. So, I think that's a plus to the project as well. All right. So, the new lot over here, we do have uh I believe it's six new lights um to give us lighting over here and safe walking passage to the front
entrance. Um do you remember, Bezark, how many spots we have over here? I don't have my glasses on. 16 + 15. So, about 31 spots on this side for staff and visitors. Um we do have a depressed sidewalk here for a walking
area. Um we didn't believe striping was necessary here because the change in material was enough uh to denote that. Uh we do have and we have added signage per the recommendations of the letter we received. Um I have sets of these
actually you have them there. You'll see bubbles throughout the drawings. Those are the items that we updated based on the um the bureau's review letter. Any questions on that? [Music] Um the rest of the plans here go through
storm water drainage grading. Um other typical items that we would have on a on a site plan like this top of bottom of curb. Um if there's any questions about drainage system. Oh yes. So there is a small detention
system under here to contain the water um up to a point where it overflows. that we were only releasing a minimum amount of water at a time. Um so I think the results of the study that we have the storm water report was a zero impact. Correct. Um based on the usage
of that storm water system. Uh this is the typical soil erosion and sediment control plan. Um we have gone to freehold soil conservation district. we do have their approval and their certificate uh to move ahead with the project. Um I think there was a question
in there uh regarding other approvals. Um we did receive uh desert what is it the stormwater discharge stormwater discharge permit um
right D from D if you didn't hear that. Um, so a couple of pages of construction details, um, typical stuff, how basins are are put in, um, stockpiling and temporary fencing,
things like that. Specific details to the underground retention basin, um, grading and and, uh, manhole details and signage. So this is a parking lot lighting diagram. There was a comment in the in
the letter about uh some of the levels around the perimeter of the parking area that the levels drop below the uh required.5T candles. We have gone back and reassessed that. Um we are still using the 10-ft poles. What they did not
uh do their lighting calculations with, they forgot to put in the 3 ft of concrete base that we have. So, those poles are now 13 feet above grade. Um, we have the lighting levels that we need. Uh, anywhere between 0.5 and I
think it's like 0.9 around the perimeter of the parking area and the walkways. So, we're in good shape there. Um, some more details here about drain locations, uh, crosswalks. Um, we do have a wider striped area. that shows up better on
the previous plan to kind of separate the bus from the the car traffic. Uh gives them a little bit more of a buffer if the the bus needs a little wider girth coming in, but they can make the turn uh without using that.
Some lighting details and this is I believe that's the cover sheet for the lighting, the pole bases, conduits, wiring. Um some more typical stuff and the
electrical layout for locations of lights, the light types, fixture schedule, uh kind of a brief overview. Um do you have any questions on anything that I went through that you want me to
further explain? There's two questions that Peter like. Sure. Um, what's the What is the It's not a buffer, but I guess it would be a buffer. What's the buffer between the sidewalk and the beginning of the parking lot? The sidewalk into Well, the sidewalk on Ernston Road.
Yeah. Okay. So, what's So, you're talking up front? Yeah. Not not there, but where the new parking lot right there. So, about 20 or 20 ft or so. Yeah. It's actually not dimension here.
It's It's taken off of the existing. It's about 20 ft from the sidewalk, but it's about it's about 20 ft from the inside edge of the sidewalk. There is a there is a grade change there as well. So, um this parking lot sits down a little bit from grade
appears closer. That's why my I'm sorry. It appears closer. That's why my question was what was the distance between the beginning of the parking or what would be I guess where the parking lot curbing would start and where the actually u the sidewalk was on Ernston Road. Yeah. So we we tried to keep it as far
off of the road as we could off of the sidewalk without encroaching too close to the school. um and was there any thought about u putting some landscaping uh low light low um landscaping in order to reduce
any light spillage because at night you do have activities and I'm sure since the it's the front of the building there'll be parking there in order to reduce any spillage onto Ernston Road. So, we did not have landscaping as part of the project just so that we were
aware of the budget and the and the money we'd had to spend. The district has no problem looking at landscaping outside of the project um as a future project. Um whether that's through could be PTA if there's a shade tree commission uh something like that.
Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. There's like a full foot difference from the parking lot to the Okay. I'm sorry I didn't get to introduce everybody. This is Bedrick Palmer. He's with B&G uh engineers. He is our site
engineer. Um Aaron Hill, uh BA with the school district. Richard Labby, he's the superintendent of schools. And Jim Coleman is the director of facilities. Any other questions?
want to provide recommendations for defense case to allow a letter um requesting recommendation
not your pleasure 786 Anybody fine with it? I have one question. Sure. Long as he doesn't write a letter, you can ask this where you have an exit. Yes.
And the profit light is on this side. How do you expect are you going to sink the traffic light for the flow of people coming out left turning? No, there is a light here. No, no, there is not.
It's further up on Ernston quite a ways. Next one over. All right. So, I mean, just to follow up on that, we are still going to have the same we have the same traffic pattern. we have the same quantity of traffic, right? So,
we're not increasing traffic. We're just organizing how it flows into the site. It's all still going to exit at the same point. Um, you know, we always had ingress and egress. At this point here, this is exit only. So, that'll be signed as such. Do
not enter on the street side and one way on the on the school side. Well, I think you did a good job. I think we're satisfied. Thank you very much. So, just to be clear from the capital review, there are no recommendations.
Okay. You're good. Thank you everybody. Appreciate your time. Thank you so much. plan subdivision hearings application 25-01 65 service
highway 35 Southway being held over again so chairman I received a letter from Mr. pape their attorney on July 7th um with the request that they are currently still working on their site plan um
comments from Mr. Wilder and the uh public. So they're uh looking to be carried without further notice to August 6, 2025, which is our next meeting. If if we approve that, um we would just
need a motion and a second and I'll do a roll call. Uh yes, I need a motion for that. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion, but I also would make a request within that motion. Okay. Uh in order to make this a little bit more expedient, um I was prepared to
request that the application be reviewed by our environmental commission. I think there's a number of issues that uh would be um helpful for their review. Um I don't know if this could be done in with this motion so that I don't have to make
that recommendation in August and then extend the application beyond and board can refer it to the environmental commission. So and it can be done as part of this motion. I that would be my motion. That would be my motion. Do I have a second on that motion?
Second. Roll call. Mr. Candell, Miss Lurman, yes. Mr. Muller, yes. Mr. Shaw, yes. Mr. Velo, Councilman Zabrouski, Chairman Ty, yes. Thank you. Need to open to the public. Make a motion to open to the public.
