Questions linger over parking and employee counts; township consultant flagged insufficient data

During cross‑examination, attorneys pressed Frank Tavani on the TIA's parking assumptions and employee estimates. Tavani told the board the site plan provides roughly 400 parking spaces — "about 50 per building" — and said the 50‑space figure corresponds to an expectation of about 25 shift employees per building at any one time.

Township reviewers and party‑status counsel emphasized that the township traffic consultant has, in review letters dating to December 2025, found the parking information insufficient and requested more detailed counts and data on parking at similar facilities. Counsel noted that section 184‑87 of the zoning ordinance requires a parking study approved by the township engineer; Tavani said the applicant planned to provide more detailed parking information at land‑development, but that he believed the revised TIA addressed the code elements in spirit.

The exchange left the board with unresolved questions about final parking demand and who the end user will be; Tavani acknowledged he had not consulted the end user and did not have supporting operational counts from operating data centers for this site.
