Approval of September meeting Minutes – Mr. Simon entertained a motion to approve the minutes.  The motion was so moved by Mr. Benko and seconded by Mr. Robinson. Poll: all ayes Motion, passed.
 
Communications – None.
 
Discussion Items:
 
  • Wild Meadows – Revised Zoning Amendment
 
Mr. Colagreco discussed that the zoning amendment for Wild Meadows was changed as advised by the Planning Commission at the August 20th, 2019 meeting.  The Planning Commission asked that the Commercial piece be taken out of the proposed Zoning Amendment. Mr. Colagreco explained that this was done.  Ken Simon thanked him for coming.
 
  • 95 Foundry Street
No one was in attendance.  The Township Engineer had a few items that need to be addressed.
  • The side yard setbacks are not shown along the proposed property line between the units.
  • Waiver request A. should be revised to 137-14 1.B. (2).
  • Waiver request D should be revised to 137-4.1.2.B (2) (j).
  • Waiver request E should be revised to 137-14.1.B. (2) (j).
  •  The rest of the waivers requested on the plan are not necessary since the project qualifies as a minor land development in the Caln Subdivision Ordinance.
 
Mr. Simon asked for a recommendation for Conditional Approval for the Final Minor Land Development plan based on the review letter from ARRO dated October 9, 2019.  The motion was moved by Mr. Caporale and seconded by Mr. Benko.  Poll: al ayes Motion, passed.
 
  • 1847-1855 E. Lincoln Highway – Sketch Plan
 
Mr. Colagreco showed the Caln Plaza shopping center and a Sketch Plan for a proposed Dunkin Donuts.  It’s location in on North Caln Road and Lincoln Highway.  It would be where the old car wash was and where a 4 unit apartment building is.  In order to put a Dunkin Donuts there they will need a Conditional Use approval for a drive thru.  They will also need variance relief for the trash location because it’s too close to the property line.  For their sign they will also need a variance from the Zoning board.  Their next step is to file applications with the Township for the Conditional Use and Zoning Variances.
 
  • Sign Ordinance
 
The commission had a question regarding 350 ft. separation between signs.  Is that just on the same property frontage? Or does it apply to all signs?
 
Project timeclock expiration dates:
 
Villages at Hillview valid until October 11, 2019
 
95 Foundry Street valid until December 16, 2019

Adjournment – With no further business, Mr. Simon entertained a motion to adjourn the meeting. The motion was moved by Mr. Caporale and seconded by Mr. Benko.  Poll: all ayes. The meeting adjourned at 7:30 P.M.
 
To the best of my knowledge, this summarizes the minutes of the October 15, 2019

Respectfully submitted,
Pamela Henrichon
Planning Secretary
