RE:                 Skae Training  Plans: The application  of Peter Skae, owner, (Donald  Brenner,  attorney  for the owner),  for review of Site/Structure   Plans at a site to be known as “Skae Training  Plans”,  in accordance  with Article  16 of the Town  Law  of the State of New York and Chapter  2 of the Code of the Town of Orangetown.    The site is located at 337 –  339 Blaisdell  Road, Orangeburg,  Town of  Orangetown,   Rockland  County,  New York, and as shown on the Orangetown Tax  Map as Section  76.08,  Block  1, Lot 3 & 4 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,  March 20, 2014, at which time the Board made the following  determinations:

 

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

2013. Planting & Lighting Plan, Drawing 4 of 9; prepared  by Sparaco  & Youngblood, PLLC, dated  November  15, 2013,  last revised  December  11, 2013.

 

1. Architectural Plans,  prepared  by Kier Levesque,  RA, dated  October  16, 2013: A-2:  First Floor Plan

A-3: Second  Floor Plan

 

A-4:  Elevations

 

1. A copy of the Project Material Sheet.

 

2014. Specification Sheet, noting material,  colors and solar reflectivity  of the material,  MBCI Metal Roof and Wall Systems,  dated  March 7, 2014.

 

1. Submitted at meeting by applicant,  a photograph  of a similar  building  using the metal roof and wall system.

 

1. Submitted at meeting by applicant,  computer  generated  drawings  of the proposed  structure  and site layout.

 

2013. Copy of PB #13-52; Preliminary Site Plan Approval  Subject  to Conditions, dated  December  11, 2013.

 

FINDINGS OF FACT:

 

1. The Board found that the proposed site layout would be revised in accordance  to ZBA #14-20,  dated  March  19, 2014.  At the meeting  of the Zoning  Board of Appeals,  the Board required  that the parking located on the south side of the building  be moved to the north side of the site.  The proposed  parking  along Blaisdell  Road would  be extended  to accommodate   the relocated  parking spaces.   The

applicant  stated that the plans have not been revised to note the change  in parking  locatio~ ~~v~~’.W9l:f ~ P.wromly with the request.

2. The Board found that the proposed building is designed in accordance with present zoning. The applicant stated that the Town Board is currently considering a text amendment to the LIO zoning district to allow “Individual Fitness and Training Center” as a Conditional Use.

 

3. The Board found that the proposed structure would be constructed to have a metal roof and wall system, manufactured by MBCI. The main color of the building would be Charcoal Gray, the trim would be Crimson Red and the roof would be Ash Gray. All colors are from the Signature 200 series, in 26 gauge material.

 

4. The Board found that the Lighting Fixture Schedule provided for 5 lighting fixtures, however, after reviewing the Site Plan, only 4 could be located. The applicant agreed to place the additional lighting fixture in the rear of the site, or as needed. The Board discussed placing the additional light fixture on the south side of the site. The applicant

stated that may not be possible if the Planning Board determines the south side of the site to be land banked for future parking. The remaining fixture may be required to illuminate the additional parking to the north.

 

5. The Board found that the Luminaire Detail notes the height of the fixture to be 141-6″ from grade with down lighting.

 

6. The Board found that the dumpster enclosure would be fenced with a

6 foot high vinyl fence and gate. The color of the fence and gate would match the main color of the structure.

 

7. The Board found that snow guards would be placed on the roof of the building to prevent sheets of snow from falling down on pedestrians.

 

8. The Board found that the air conditioning unit would be placed behind the building, and would not be visible from Blaisdell Road.

 

9. The Board found that the proposed landscaping would be attractive to the deer population and offered alternative plantings to the applicant. The applicant accepted the alternate plants and shall revise the Planting & Lighting Plan, Drawing 4 of 9 as follows:

 

 

Applicant  Proposed

 

Thuja Occidentalis “Emerald” Rhododendron

Prunus, Serotina

 

Taxus Yew

Board Recommended Thuja Plicata “Green Giant” llex Glabra “Compacta” Prunus “Yoshino”
