Heard by the Architecture and Community Appearance Board of Review of the Town of Orangetown at a meeting held Thursday, April 5, 2012, at which time the Board made the following determinations:

Patrick and Elizabeth Hannan appeared and testified.

The Board received the following items:

1. House Elevations prepared by Westchester Modular Homes, dated

October 13, 2011.

2. Site Plan, prepared by Arden Consulting Engineers, dated October 26, 2011.

FINDINGS OF FACT:

1. The Board found that the applicant proposed to build a new modular house over an existing footprint of an older house. The façade siding would be manufactured by Certainteed Main Street in Natural Clay with white trim.  The roof would be manufactured by Owens Corning in Teak color, and the garage door would be white with glass inserts.  The deck would be trek decking in woodland brown.
2. The Board found that there would be two light fixtures by the front door and two light fixtures by the garage door, one light fixture at each rear door and one light fixture at the side door, for a total of seven fixtures. All fixtures are to be down lighting type. The applicant proposed to place landscape lighting by the driveway sometime in the future.
3. The Board found that the site has sufficient existing landscaping. The applicant noted that one new flowering tree has been planted along Reld Drive. Two new flowering trees will be planted along Villa Drive.
4. The Board found that the left elevation facing Villa Road needed something to breakup the surface of the façade. The Board recommended placing a decorative element or a window on each gable.  The Board granted the selection of the architectural feature up the applicant.
