7. Based on the information generated.in conjunction with this assessment,
Pioneer Environmental, Inc. has concluded that there is no documented
' evidence of a significant release of OHMs at the subject site, and that an
imminent threat to human health, safety and welfare or the environment
does not exist at the site.
8. Due to constraints imposed by the client,,sub-surface exploration was limited
to two (2) GWMWs and two (2) soil borings. Therefore, the conclusions
presented are representative of the specific sample locations. Should
excavation occur at locations other than those specifically sampled, the
potential exists to encounter some degree of limited soil contamination.

The Findings of the Board under Section 9.3 for a change to a pre-existing non-conforming use
were as follows:
1. The Board finds that such change, to demolish an existing garage and construct a 5,460
square foot residential/retail building, will not be substantially more detrimental to the
neighborhood than the existing non-conforming use when said change, extension or
alteration is to a conforming use, which requires the same or less minimum lot area,
minimum lot width and frontage, minimum lot depth, setbacks and parking than is
required for the present use (and lot does not fully conform to the present zoning
requirements for the proposed use).
The following conditions were imposed with this Finding:
1. Panoramic mirrors shall be installed along the front of the site to provide drivers backing
out on to Strong Avenue full visibility of the adjacent sidewalk.
2. Visual warning beacons with associated signage shall be installed on the outside of the
garage and shall be incorporated into the door opening mechanism of the garage door to
alert pedestrians of any approaching or exiting vehicles.
3. Motion detectors shall be installed over the garage doors and shall activate warning
lights or signs inside the garage indicating the presence of pedestrians in the sidewalk.

RE: Michael Sissman's Strong Avenue Project
As required by the Planning Board's Special Permit conditions, Michael Sissman received a
Temporary License (signed by the Mayor) and a Memorandum of Understanding (signed by me)
spelling out the details of his use of the Nagle Walkway Recreation Area.
These documents comply in all respects with the conditions imposed by the Planning Board as
related to the Nagle Walkway. As such,we would like to release any hold we have placed which
has prevented you from issuing a building permit.
Thank you for your assistance.
