4566 Waterhouse Road — Amended Site Plan. Mark Weiss, M.V. Weiss and Associates, spoke on behalf of the applicant noting Edward Barry, VIP Structures, also in attendance. Mark (Weiss) apologized to the Board for the submitted drawings noting the size as too large; he will resubmit 24”x36” drawings. Going forward, he noted applying in 2014 for a training facility and has returned for an additional 8500 sq. ft. building, generated from the Micron announcement and anticipation of trades. Plans are to take down an old fagade and replace with new and relocate an existing culvert. Mark (Weiss) is working with OCWA regarding an encroachment that will add 32’ of easement. As well, the new addition will have new entrances, relocation of entire parking area, EV parking/charging stations, creation of rain gardens with taking down some trees and berms. Plans are to expand the parking to the south while meeting parking requirements. Photometric plans include taking down some wall pack lighting and provide bollard lights. Hal Henty asked about the pole height for outside lighting and Mark (Weiss) stated it is on the drawing and

reads 23’ mounting height; all is LED and a few wall packs will remain over doors for security purposes; lighting levels will be low. Landscape plans include rain gardens with cut out asphalt to soften the area with added plantings. Russ Mitchell asked if they received the County’s comments and Mark (Weiss) said, yes and he is coordinating with OCWA and provided a letter to Mark Territo; as well he is working with the legal department. Russ stated the Board needs approvals in writing. Russ asked if they have contacted DEC and Mark (Weiss) said, no he didn’t feel it necessary. Russ noted a concern from the County regarding the endangered bird species and the importance of SHPO, this will need discussion. As well, Russ noted they must assure the encroachments and water line easement are agreed upon and approved. Mark (Weiss) said they are working on this now. Further, Russ requested drawing L-1 include the property lines and questioned the two water lines as noted on L-1. Mark (Weiss) said that is an error and will adjust accordingly. Russ asked about the metal building and Mark (Weiss) said this will be removed. Russ said drawing L-3 shows solar panels and asked what platform they will sit on and Mark (Weiss) said, concrete sonotubes; Russ asked this be included on the drawing. Russ questioned the concrete pad in the back and Mark (Weiss) said it is below grade and they are unsure what it is. Russ asked cut sheets for lighting be included and taken off the drawings. He also asked the square footage be included on each of the buildings as well as requirements for setbacks, etc. Russ noted having a hard time following the drawings and asked about a legend. Mark(Weiss) said it is on the first sheet with construction notes on the next page. Russ requested the construction notes be placed on the first drawing. Michelle Borton asked a reference be provided for clarification purposes. Further, Michelle noted the parking lot is under the 1-acre threshold and asked they delineate what the disturbance limits are such as, depth of asphalt, construction limits, topping, etc. Mark (Weiss) indicated they are just restriping the parking lot. Michelle noted needing the approvals from OCWA for the additional usage and read the advisory note from the County’s comments. She stated there are a number of right-of-way’s and the Board will need permission from those entities. Mark (Weiss) agreed to check on this. Lastly, Michelle asked about dumpsters and Mark (Weiss) said all trash is kept inside. Jim Palumbo suggested they review the EV parking regulations as it pertains to handicap as their may be changes; Mark (Weiss) agreed. Karen Guinup asked if there are solar panels at the site now and if so, when relocating, will they be mounted the same and Mark (Weiss) said, yes. Karen also questioned the tree height as noted on the drawings and Mark (Weiss) stated that it is trunk width, not height. Karen asked Mark Territo about the parking calculations and he said mixed uses, such as this, are okay to break apart. Ron DeTota reiterated Michelle’s concern about the right-of-way’s and importance to check this out. He also asked about a discrepancy on the existing culvert reading 52x39” CMP and the survey reads 60” CMP. Mark (Weiss) said this is an error and will correct it. Ron asked if a survey was done and Mark (Weiss) said, yes. Ron asked Mark (Weiss) to show the calculations that went into the water quality for the rain gardens; Mark said he would discuss this with him.
