Against the shopping center
Introduction/ Proposed Site Plan -AM
# Parking spaces: 302
Standards: 5.5 parking spaces per 1,000 sq ft
- Should be at least 330 spaces on site plan
- Should have loading dock, fire zones
Multi-functional shopping center
Issues- AM
-Traffic
-Environmental issues
-Pollution
-Flooding/runoff
-Social Concerns
Traffic- ASV
Talk about trip generation and how the program (HCS2000) works, how to take traffic counts, etc
Trip generation w/ shopping center in=?
Currently “F LOS” at corner of Tenant Rd and Rte 79 and “B/C LOS” at corner of site and Greenwald Rd
Based on HCS2000
-Require improvement of curbs, sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian safety measures
-Houses nearby
-Dumpster locations
Environmental Issues
Noise pollution
Air pollution
Waste disposal
Vegetation
Flood maps
Wetlands, wetland maps
Pollution (noise & air) -AA
Noise pollution- use data from group ->
Air pollution
Describe the general issues
Environmental Issues: Ecology- OSO
-Impervious coverage (paved roads/asphalt)
*Affects aquifer recharge (disrupts hydrologic cycle)
*Velocity of runoff from paved surface will disrupt the ecosystem of nearby wetland
*Pollutants striping from building materials
-Clearing of trees currently on lot will disrupt the quiet nature of the residential neighborhood
-See page 12 of document “Emailing Sustainability” on Google drive for Wetlands map
-Waste disposal, proximity to landfill
-Call Town Hall at 732-536-0200 to see if they will send a Wetlands Map
Flooding/Runoff -DB
Flood zone maps
USGS FloodMap
Natural disaster issues
Social Concerns- CG
Police/hospital/fire dept nearby?
-There’s already a shopping center nearby
-Need Soil test and samples for dangerous carcinogens and heavy metals
-Need Soil logs or any geotechnical information to determine the suitability of construction in the historically poor soil capacity of river bank and watershed areas.
