The site is located at 160 East Central Avenue, Pearl River, Town of Orangetown, Rockland County, New York and as shown on the Orangetown Tax Map as Section 68.20, Block 2, Lot 9, in the CS zoning district.
Heard by the Architecture and Community Appearance Board of Review of the Town of Orangetown at a meeting held Tuesday, February 5, 2008, at which time the Board made the following determinations:
Vincent Acocella and A. Panteleaksi appeared and testified.
The Board received the following items:
- Architectural Plans prepared by Vincent Acocella, dated October 29, 2007:
– A-1: Plan & Elevations
– SP-2: Site Plan
FINDINGS OF FACT:
- The Board found that the materials to be used on the replacement addition shall match the existing structure. The siding color would be a soft beige color, the trim would be white and the roof would be Slateblend, manufactured by Timberline. The finish on the foundation will be parched to match the existing foundation on the structure.
- The Board found to lessen the impact of the dining area on the abutting property owner – (Fitzgerald – Section/Block/Lot: 68.20/2/13), a vegetative buffer shall be planted from the corner of the one story building going west. The applicant shall plant five foot tall Arborvitae trees, planted 4 foot on center, for an approximate distance of 40 feet, ending at the curve of the parking lot.
Public Comment: Peter Fitzgerald: 157 Franklin Avenue, an abutting property owner, raised concerns regarding the proximity of the dining area to his property and the loss of privacy of his backyard. He requested the Board to consider some type of buffer, either a higher fence then the existing fence or some type of vegetation be placed along the rear of the applicant’s property.
