The site is located at 1   Ramland Road, Orangeburg, Town of Orangetown, Rockland County, New York, and as shown on the Orangetown Tax Map as Section 73.20, Block 1, Lots 23 & 24; in the LIO zoning district.

 

Heard by the Architecture and Community Appearance Board of Review of the Town of Orangetown at a meeting held Thursday,  February 19, 2015, at which time the Board made the following determinations:

 

Donald Brenner appeared and testified. The Board received the following items:

2014. Phase I Layout Plan prepared by JMC Site Development Consultants, dated October 21, 2014, revised on November 6, 2014.

 

1. Material Sheet.

 

1. Fence Design Plans prepared by Ameristar:

 

Montage Comm. Invincible 3R Ext. 8’H 32″DBL Gate, dated July 26, 2013. Montage Comm. Invincible 3R Ext. B’T B’W panel, dated June 25, 2013.

2014. Fence Plan prepared by Statewide Fence Co., dated November 17, 2014. Submitted at the meeting, photographs of the existing fence on site

 

2014. Building Permit Referral dated November 25, 2014.

 

1. Submitted at the meeting by the applicant, 4 photographs of the site and building, noting the type and color of the fence.

 

FINDINGS OF FACT:

 

1. The Board found that the applicant erected the fence prior to appearing in front of ACABOR. The applicant provided photographs of the site noting the fence in place.

 

2. The Board found that the submitted site plan notes that a chain link fence and a black wrought iron fence would be constructed, however, the photographs note that a black wrought iron 8 foot fence has been constructed around the perimeter of the site. The plans shall be revised to note the correct fence. (The applicant received a variance from the Town of Orangetown Zoning Board of Appeals to erect an 8 foot fence in the front of the building.) The remaining fence on the site secures the chillers, which was previously approved by the Board on July 11, 2013, Condition #4 of ACABOR #13-35: “A vinyl coated black chain link fence will be placed as noted on the plan. The fence will be five feet in height with fine mesh squares.”
