Emails from the following residents: Scott Petry, Blauvelt, dated December 4, 2017; Brenna Petry, Blauvelt, dated December 4, 2017.

FINDINGS OF FACT:

The Board found that the project received Preliminary Site Plan Approval Subject to Conditions from the Town of Orangetown Planning Board. In addition, the applicant obtained variances from the Town of Orangetown Zoning Board of Appeals requiring Phase I of the project to have interior loading docks.
The Board found that due to the Zoning Board’s requirement of Phase I to have interior loading docks, the roadway layout changed and revised plans were submitted to the Board. The revised roadway was pulled in closer to the building, out of the buffer area with grading and additional screening to take place in the buffer area. Additional landscaping would also be placed near the Rail Trail area.
The Board found that other locations on the project site were described as containing utility easements and a drainage ditch, which cannot be built upon.
The Board found that the dumpster would be located near the loading dock, and placed within an enclosure. The proposed hours of operation of the business would be Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The Board found that the lighting plan was acceptable, as noted on the submitted plan. All lighting would be down lit.
The Board found that the Landscaping Plan needed to be revised since the building foundation needed additional screening and shade trees needed to be placed in the Islands. The Landscaping Plan also needed to clearly delineate a Clearing Limit Line. In addition, the Board suggested the following alternative plant selections:

1. Thuja Occidentalis changed to Thuja Plicata

2. Zanica to Maple or Oak

7. The Board found that the building would have a flat roof with the mechanical equipment on the roof. A three foot parapet would be placed around the roof edge, and any mechanicals would be placed towards the center, not visible from the street. The applicant offered to provide a typical roof plan with mechanicals with a Sight Line View.

8. The Board found that the building would have four sides of Metal-Span, Flush Metal Panel, and Vertical Corrugated Metal Siding in regal gray, or equal. Almond, ash gray and charcoal gray colors would be used in the area of the office to create interest. Black cut granite would be placed at the base of the building, the windows and entrance would be dark glass with dark aluminum frames, as noted on the submitted plans. The Board reviewed the materials and design of the proposed structure and requested the applicant to reconsider the design of the structure since the materials and scale of the structure were not reflective of the design of the surrounding residential neighborhood.

The hearing was then opened to the Public.

Public Comment:

Anthony Loperfido, 30 North Troop Road, Blauvelt; requested that the item be continued, and wanted the building to be turned around so the loading docks face Route 303.

Alison Sullivan, 40 Arthur Street, Blauvelt; wanted to know if the lights shined on the neighbors, if the proposed trees were mature, where the HVAC units were located, if the walls were sound proofed, where the dumpsters were located, and wanted soil samples before construction started.

Vincent Lupi, 106 Spruce Street, Blauvelt; noted that the loading docks would be 30 feet from the Rail Trail and wanted larger evergreen plants to block the view and odors of the building. The ZBA required completely enclosed loading docks and that 2 to 3 inch calipers trees are not significant enough and request larger plantings. In addition, Mr. Lupi requested that trees be planted on the loop road.

Adam Fiali, area resident, questioned if there would ever be any use of chemicals on site; that the building looks too boxy, and wanted it turned so the loading docks are along Route 303.

Ira Steinberg, 10 Murphy Court, Blauvelt, wanted the applicant to provide a Line of Sight drawing from his house and the Church so he could see what his view would be in the future. He requested that the applicant preserve as much mature trees in the buffer as possible.

Heather Hurley, 10 Hobart Street, Pearl River; wanted to know if glass windows face Murphy Court or the Rail Trail and wanted them screened, disliked the building design, are there floodlights or downlights, are there vents or machinery on the roof and requested that as many trees as possible on the site be saved. She also discussed air quality and pollution in Blauvelt.

The applicant requested a CONTINUATION.
