Minutes

APPLICATIONS:
Christian
Faith Fellowship - Block 75, Lots 60 and 61 - ZB-10-00-1:
Reverend Ferriola, Michael Miller and Kurt Gewecke were sworn
in. Michael Garafalo, Esq., was present to represent the applicant.
It was noted that the applicant had previously received site
plan and variance approval, but an additional gravel parking
area was added to the site.
Michael
Miller, P.E., gave his qualifications and advised that the
applicant will comply with Mr Vreeland's report relative to
drainage patterns.
Mr. Miller
also noted that they are also showing a proposed new sign
on the map which meets ordinance requirements.
It was
further noted that the applicant will comply with Mr. Vreeland's
recommends that there be some type of barrier to be installed
to minimize the possibility of vehicles traveling beyond the
parking lot in these areas. The applicant will work together
with the Board's engineer to come to a mutual agreement on
the issue of the barrier.
Mr. Carl
Miller wanted to return to comment 2. Mr. Vreeland stated
that based on the observations of the site, the gravel still
needs to be regraded back to respect the required setbacks.
Mike Miller advised that they have not done that yet, because
they wanted to get everything approved and then they would
make the changes. Mr. Vreeland requested that their office
have the opportunity to review the site once the work as contemplated
under the plan with respect to drainage has been done to see
that it is satisfactory.
Mr. Carl
Miller asked why they need more parking area. Reverend Fiola
advised that due to the fact that some of their parishioners
are driving more than one vehicle, parents, teens, etc., to
the same event and they need more parking. The total parking
now as proposed is 160 parking spaces.
Mr. Miller
asked if there were any plans in the future to pave the area.
It was confirmed that they will not pave the area. It will
remain gravel.
Mr. Garafalo
advised that the proposal conforms to the ordinance, but because
it originated at the Zoning Board they have returned here
to seek amended approval.
The meeting
was opened to the public. There was no public comment.
A motion
was made by Mr. Armstrong to approve the amended preliminary
and final site plan application. The motion was seconded by
Mr. Walsh. Roll Call: Walsh, yes; Miller, yes; Armstrong,
