FINDINGS OF FACT:
- The Board found that the house would have four sides of vinyl siding with shakes on the gables, as noted on the submitted plans. The vinyl siding and shakes would be wicker color. The roof would be rustic black, manufactured by GAF, or equal. The front door would match the color of the house siding. The applicant requested the option of placing glass inserts in the front door.
- The Board found that the proposed house lighting would be in accordance with Town Code.
- The Board found that the landscaping noted the removal of a significant number of trees and requested the applicant to restudy the site. The applicant held that due to the construction of the driveway and sewer easement, the trees noted on the plan needed to be removed. He stated that he would discuss the issue with the neighbors and proposed entering the site with an alternate location in order to alleviate the removal of the trees.
- The Board found that the air conditioning unit would be placed on the right side of the lot. The plan should be revised to note the air conditioning unit. The applicant may have the Land Surveyor change the plan by hand or submit a revised plan.The hearing was then opened to the Public.
Public Comment:
Liz Poenini, 11 Milton Grant Drive; raised concerns regarding the removal of trees on the lot, noting that her privacy would be lost. She also wanted to know where the construction entrance would be located.
Tom Fitzgerald, 108 Sunset Drive; expressed concerns regarding the width of the access easement to the site.
Buzz Ostrowsky, 106 Sunset Drive; raised concerns regarding the loss of trees along the shared property line. Mr. Ostrowsky requested that evergreen trees be replanted along the property line where trees are noted to be removed.
The applicant requested a CONTINUATION.

Alex Goldberger appeared and testified.
The Board received the following items:
- Site Plan entitled “Alternate Layout” prepared by Jay Greenwell, PLS, dated July 26, 2018.
2. Architectural Plans prepared by Robert Hoene, R.A., dated March 5, 2013, last revised August 9, 2017:
- Sheet 1 of 3: Elevations
- Sheet 2 of 3: Floor Plans
- Sheet 3 of 3: General Notes
FINDING OF FACTS:
- The Board found that the applicant presented an alternate layout of the site, with access from the existing driveway over the Lunney property (70.09-1-7) to the west, and connecting to a Town of Orangetown manhole in a Town sewer easement to the west. This would avoid using the sewer easement on the east side of Fitzgerald (70.09-1-11), the driveway on the west of Fitzgerald, and will preserve all of the trees in the sewer easement and driveway, as well as some additional trees east of the new house. The applicant held that he was currently negotiating with the neighbors and would provide Easement Agreements to the site between the neighbors to the Town.
- The Board found that the applicant is in discussion with the Town of Orangetown Department of Sewer regarding connection to the Town sewer easement.
- The Board found that the applicant should consider a privacy fence along the utility easement where trees are to be removed and save as many trees as possible. A revised site plan should be provided noting the fence and saved trees.
Public Comment:
Patrick McGovern, 112 Sunset Drive; expressed concern with the proposed development of the lot, since roadways would now be abutting his lot on both sides. Mr. McGovern also expressed deep concern regarding the removal of the trees to create the new roadway.
Buzz Ostrowsky, 106 Sunset Drive; wanted to know if trees were removed to create the roadway, would they be replaced somewhere else on the site.

Tom Fitzgerald, 108 Sunset Drive; raised concerns regarding the removal of trees along the sewer easement and driveway, expressing interest in working with the applicant to find a solution.
The applicant requested a CONTINUATION.
October 4, 2018
FINDING OF FACTS:
- The Board found that the applicant has come to an agreement with the abutting property owners and they have accepted the alternate layout of the site, as presented to the Board at the September 6, 2018 ACABOR Meeting. This plan offers access from the existing driveway over the Lunney property (70.09-1-7) to the west, and connecting to a Town of Orangetown manhole in a Town sewer easement to the west. This would avoid using the sewer easement on the east side of Fitzgerald (70.09-1-11), the driveway on the west of Fitzgerald, and will preserve all of the trees in the sewer easement and driveway, as well as some additional trees east of the new house. The applicant held that he was currently negotiating with the neighbors and would provide all easement agreements between the property owners allowing access to the site to the Town. The Board requested that proof of the Filed Easement Agreements (filed with Rockland County Clerk’s Office) be provided to the Town prior to the issuance of the Building Permit.
- The Board found that the applicant is in discussion with the Town of Orangetown Department of Sewer regarding connection to the Town sewer easement. The Board requested that proof be provided to the Building Department from the Sewer Department regarding connection to the sewer easement.
- The Board found that the site plan notes that a significant number of trees are to remain on the site and there is no longer a need for the privacy fence along the utility easement as well as a proposed retaining wall, as noted on the submitted plan from the July 19, 2018 meeting.
