FROM: Architecture and Community Appearance Board of Review

 

RE:       Nolan Monument Plans: The application of Dan Nolan, applicant, for 508

Route 303 Realty, LLC, owner, for an Amendment to ACABOR #11-30, Review

of Façade Materials at a site known as “Nolan Monument 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 508

Route 303, Blauvelt, Town of Orangetown, Rockland County, New York and as

shown on the Orangetown Tax Map as Section 74.07, Block 1, Lot 7 in the CC

zoning district and in the Route 303 Overlay Zone.

 

Heard by the Architecture and Community Appearance Board of Review of the Town of Orangetown at a meeting held Thursday, May 17, 2012, at which time the Board made the following determinations:

Dan Nolan appeared and testified.

The Board received the following items:

1. 0: Elevations, Floor Plans & General Notes, prepared Robert Hoene, R.A., dated June 29, 2011, revised July 5, 2011.
2. Copy of ACABOR #11-30, dated September 8, 2011, Approved Subject to Conditions.

FINDINGS OF FACTS:

1. The Board found that the applicant under ACABOR #11-30, had requested that the existing structure be rehabilitated to include a new front façade of cultured stone. Upon removal of the false front of the structure, the applicant found that the original brick of the structure was in excellent shape. The applicant is now requesting the Board to paint the original brick instead of covering it with stonework. The brick will be painted beige to match the fence on the site.
2. The Board found that the development of the site provides significant improvement to the Route 303 corridor, since the property has been abandoned for a long time.
3. The Board found that three additional design changes were made to the structure, these include the following:
   • Side door was eliminated due to the use of a different heating system,
   • Shutters were not used on the front elevation windows, and
   • Garage style doors are noted as “yet to be selected”, however the doors have been selected.
