RE:                 205 Oak Tree  Road Plan: The Application    of Patrick Sullivan,

Heard   by the Architecture  and Community  Appearance   Board of Review  of the Town  of Orangetown   at a meeting  held   Thursday, April 16, 2015,  at which time the Board made the following   determinations:

 

Jane Slavin   appeared  and testified.     The Board received   the following  items:

 

1. A. Plans prepared by JSA Architecture  & Design   Group,   LLC, dated  March 30,

2015:

 

A-1  of 3:  Plan

 

A-2 of 3: South  Elevation   –  Rear

2015. A letter signed  by Jane Slavin,   AIA,  dated April 2,  2015.

 

FINDINGS    OF FACT:

 

1. The Board found that the railing and  deck  had been constructed  prior  to the applicant’s    appearance  in front of the Board.   The applicant  explained that the previous  wood  open  railing that was constructed    did not meet the Town  Code and the owner was required to rebuild  it to meet code.  The owner decided   to build a half  wall  instead of an open  railing.    Cream colored   vinyl  siding   was installed    on the half wall to match the existing

vinyl   siding on the building.

 

2. The Board found that mature vegetation was growing  on the site.

 

 

 

The hearing   was then opened  to the Public.  There  being no one  to be heard from  the public,  the Public Hearing   portion of the meeting  was closed.
