Council asks for traffic, stormwater and shade studies on Clinton Inn proposal
Summary
Council members asked the developer to supply technical studies — including traffic peak‑hour analysis, stormwater retention modeling and a shade study — before the planning board review and any public hearing on a redevelopment ordinance.
Multiple council members explicitly asked the developer to produce engineering studies that address stormwater runoff, parking demand and shadowing effects from the proposed taller building. The developer said preliminary due diligence and a phase‑1 environmental study found no major groundwater risk but acknowledged that surface runoff and retention require a robust mitigation plan.
"We would be building a very robust stormwater retention system that I alluded to in a little bit before," the presenter said, and added the team will work with borough engineers on detailed design. Council members also requested traffic counts at peak school and commute hours and a formal shade study to quantify impacts on adjacent properties.
