Martell pointed out that, while church property is adjacent to his client’s consolidated property, the church building is on Island Road, which is more than 360 feet from his client’s property. Other variances include one for the 22 parking spaces provided where 50 are required, the size of those park- ing spaces, the amount of landscaping required at the site (which Martell said is difficult to meet due to the size of the fuel pump area), and the size of the fence around a portion of the rear of the property. During the meeting, Jaworski said his client does not wish to install sidewalks, but agreed to contribute the value of the sidewalks that would normally be required for this project to the township’s sidewalk bank, and to provide a flagpole at the site for the American flag. In addition, it was pointed out that the diesel pumps will have low flow noz- zles, which service passenger vehicles only and not trucks. Meanwhile, concerns were expressed about the access to and from the site, which might conflict with traffic on Route 17; the ability of tractor trailer trucks to navigate the site; and the fact that there would be two different busi- nesses at the same site. The public hearing on this application will continue on Sept. 18.
