And we're product that we can say one nation.

Thank you.

The first uh the first uh item on tonight's uh agenda, which was uh continued from the April 26, April 16th, 2026 meeting is appeal number uh 3251.

The applicant Philip uh Johnson property located at 215 West Lancaster Avenue and zoned uh Wayne uh business district.

Uh applicant uh requests a variance from section uh 20 uh 280-53.9 to allow electric vehicle charging stations.

Uh variants from uh 280 53 12 uh uh B in Prince.

Uh the proposed uh project will result in the loss of three existing uh off-street parking spaces.

Further, a plan um indicate that four existing off-street parking spaces will be converted to exclusive use by EV charging vehicles.

As a result, the number of off-street parking uh spaces for the uh principal retail use has been reduced by seven.

The variance from 280-53.14 uh requires that the uh mechanical slash electrical equipment mounted on the ground shall be located in the rear of the building and screen from view.

The proposed location is in violation of these provisions.

Uh please uh step forward and be sworn in.

Anybody who's going to testify has to be sworn in, I should say.

Uh I am not an attorney, but I we will probably both be speaking.

Is there oil phone back to the three?

And take it on the parking.

Uh Philip Jaminette, J A M I N E T.

Make sure you speak into the microphone.

I'm sorry, Philip Jaminette, J A M I N E T.

Yes.

Pete Adu Shani, it's I U D I C I A N I.

Thank you.

Uh good evening.

My name is Philip Jaminett.

I am uh director of engineering here at Al here at Owl Services.

Uh Al Services is the design build contractor for this project.

We are here on behalf of Electrify America, Wawa, and the property owner.

Um our project consists of installing four new electric vehicle high-powered um fast charging stations at the existing Wawa location.

And we are here, as you stated before, to seek three variances for the installation of these vehicles, which is the permitted use of the vehicle of the electric uh vehicle charging stations, as well as the reduction of the parking and the screening of the equipment.

Um shall we address each one of these individually, or do you kind of want me to go through all three of them?

Okay.

Okay, so uh as I stated before, we're gonna install um two uh dual charger 400 KW units for electric vehicle charging in the existing Wawa parking lot.

Um I don't know.

Do you guys have the have the plans uh in front of you?

How do we get to here we go?

The new one that I just emailed to him.

Where did that one go?

Where did that other set of plans go that I just fixed?

So this is that set you just sent me the other one.

There we go.

Okay, so this is the location we um intend on stalling the uh charging locations to the east side of the parking lot, and you can see in the um what is the south west or I'm sorry, west side, the southwest corner is where we intend on putting the new utility transformer and the associated equipment to feed the electric vehicle charging equipment.

Everybody can say so.

So um as you can see, as a result of needing the additional space for the equipment and the charging equipment, we did reduce some stalls.

I think the good news here is that we are still above the threshold for the minimum amount of parking needed for this space.

I believe the way we calculated was if I could go north here for a retail parking space the required amount was 26 stalls.

We currently have 33 stalls so with the reduction of seven we are still at the 26 so we hope that that will be amenable to the to the board here that for the variance in the parking count additionally to add some context to that is there is an agreement with the adjacent property owner for overflow parking here in these eight stalls to help you know some of that relief we have documents to show that particular agreement between the adjacent property owner yeah you want to give that to that in your packet no no we brought it with us here today this is how the we need uh we need two of these okay yeah where's the oh okay is the file are the files we'll get it we'll get them first you said yeah all right go ahead please sure so we feel we're comfortable that uh we're meeting the minimum threshold for the parking count and we hope that we can get the variance for the reduction of stalls here um the other two items as it relates to the permitted use of the electric vehicle charging stations this particular site um EA and electrify America and Wawa have a strategic partnership to electrify a lot of Wawa's locations this is a a prime location for them there's good traffic here they feel like this is a really good spot for both of them additionally there is um federal funding supporting this project that um makes the economics better for everybody involved um and then regarding the equipment screening um this will be a little bit tough for us I think we can screen in the existing location but there really is not a better location to put the stalls or the charging equipment there's a fire lane in the back of the in the back of the store so there's there's no additional parking that we can gather back there and we don't feel there's enough space in those those six stalls to the north directly adjacent to the building there to accommodate both the charging equipment and the supporting electrical equipment so we hope to receive a variance to to locate the equipment there.

Additionally there is a existing utility transformer for the store right next to that one that is screened so we hope we can kind of follow that lead any questions related to maybe the what I think are I think the parking reduction it kind of speaks for itself we we are asking for some leniency on the rules on the equipment because we can't really locate it at the rear of the building we do feel we can screen it in this location appropriately and then obviously we're we're seeking the the permitted use as an accessory use to the primary retail store well in a sense you're creating the hardship yourself by putting in the charging units right if you didn't put the charging units in you did you won't have to get uh relief uh zoning relief but in the form of variance isn't that correct correct uh please keep in mind that Wawa is committed to not make these EV charging only so if you do come to the store and you aren't necessarily charging if that's an open spot you're more than welcome to park there really you're only losing the charge with the chart uh transformers correct uh there would actually be an additional reduction because of the way the charging equipment works we would we would lose a stall based upon the configuration of the new EV charging so you would lose at least that one stall plus the additional stall from the equipment Mr.

Chair you mentioned something about a national program uh is to your knowledge is there a plan to put EV uh stations in the uh Wawa that's going up uh further east on Lancaster at this moment no not that I am aware of could you scroll up on this map sure a little bit Mr.

Yes, uh, you should have your exhibits marked.

So we uh you know A B C D, no, you haven't done that.

So we have your packet, which I think was submitted uh previously because this is this was continued from an April uh hearing date, I believe.

Correct.

We can mark that uh collectively A.

That would that would be your application.

Okay, your appeal application and also your drawings.

Um we also have the lease.

I will make that B.

And what's up on the screen?

Is that uh is that in the packet?

I believe it is.
