Architecture  and Community  Appearance  Board of Review

 

 

RE:                 Sisters of St. Dominic  of Blauvelt  Plans:  Application  of Sisters of St. Dominic,  Inc., owner, for the review of a Heating  and Cooling  Roof System Plan at a site known as “Sisters   of St. Dominic   of Blauvelt   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 496

Western  Highway,  Blauvelt, Town of Orangetown,  Rockland  County,  New York, and as shown on the Orangetown  Tax Map as Section  74.06,  Block 3, Lot 1.1; in the R-40 zoning district.

 

 

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

 

David Reeves appeared  and testified  for the applicant.   The Board received the following  items:

 

1. Architectural Views and Elevations  prepared  by Fellenzer  Engineering  LLP Sheet: A 100 – dated September  28, 2015:  Photographs  of building  noting location of proposed  A/C units located on roof, front,  rear and side elevations.

 

1. Specification sheet: Fujitsu: UTR BP090X Airstage

 

2015. Ground Floor Heat Pump Plan dated October  20, 2015. D. Material Sheet unsigned.
2016. A copy of the Building Permit Referral,  dated October  22, 2015. FINDINGS  OF FACT:
2017. The Board found that the proposed heating  and cooling  system would  be mounted  on the flat part of the roof behind the Chapel.  The new systems are approximately  4 feet in height and are partially  shielded  from view by the gabled  roof. The applicant  noted that some of the units may be visible in the Chapel courtyard.

 

2. The Board found that the building is very old and the Sisters are trying to modernize  the cooling  systems  by removing  the window  units, as well improving the overall appearance  of the building.

 

3. The Board found that the applicant noted that the sound created  by the new roof mounted  system would  be negligible  compared  to the sounds created  by the old existing window  units.  The applicant  held that the design engineer  for the project designed  a quiet system.

The hearing   was then   opened   to the Public.

 

 

 

Public Comment:

 

Pat and Steven Tinston,   23 Goehring  Curve,   Blauvelt,   raised concerns regarding the noise to be created  by the new heating  and cooling   system. They said  that the existing   system  creates very loud noises  that can be heard throughout  their home,   and presented  a recording  of the noise.    As the

Tinstons  indicated,   however,  the recorded  noise  they presented  was not from the Sisters of Saint Dominic’s  systems,  but from the systems  associated Dominican  College that  sits across the street from the Sisters of Saint

Dominic.   The Board considered  the Tinston’s  comments  and determined   that

the (1) the Sisters of Saint Dominic do not own or control   Dominican    College, and   (2) based on the evidence   presented,  the  noise   level  from the new systems would be lower  than  the existing   window  units  and, therefore,   would not exacerbate  the noise   levels  emanating  from the unrelated    Dominican College  systems that can be heard at the Tinstons’  home.

 

There being no one else  to be heard  from the public, the Public Hearing portion   of the meeting was closed.

 

 

DECISION:   In view  of the foregoing   and the testimony   before the Board,   the application    was APPROVED  AS PRESENTED.

 

The foregoing   resolution  was presented  and  moved  by Blythe  Yost and seconded  by Andrew  Andrews    and  carried as follows;  Jill  Fieldstein, Chairperson;     aye, Blythe Yost,  Vice-Chairperson;      aye, Brian Terry; aye, Bruce Jensen;   aye,  Brian   Aitcheson;    aye, Andrew  Andrews,  aye,  and Deborah  Stuhlweissenburg    aye.

 

The Clerk  to the Board is  hereby authorized,    directed  and empowered  to sign this DECISION  and file a certified   copy in the  Office of the Town  Clerk and the Office  of the Architecture  and Community  Appearance   Board of Review.
