FINDINGS OF FACT:
- The Board found that the applicant appeared in front of the Town of Orangetown Zoning Board of Appeals on November 19, 2014 for review of the Performance Standards. The item was continued to the
January 21, 2015 meeting to allow for the submission of additional information.
- The Board found that the project site is located in Pearl River on the Pfizer
Campus. The project consists of a 46′ by 49′ addition to Building #123 (the old Pfizer Fire House), a paved driveway and loading area. The applicant stated that the proposed project is similar to surrounding buildings; however it is at a lower grade on the property.
- The Board found that the addition will have a metal wall system in silver, which compliments the red brick facade of the existing structure. The applicant noted that similar panel and brick buildings can be found on the Pfizer Campus.
- The Board found that the metal wall system will be manufactured by Centria Architectural Systems. The facade will have a louver system and integrated translucent window system, manufactured by Kalwall. The railing and fence will be black to match the existing elements on the building’s fa9ade and parapet coping cover. The air conditioning
equipment will be placed on the west side of the building. The exhaust fans will be placed on the roof of the structure.
- The Board found that the new exterior lighting will match the existing lighting and be placed along the exterior walking areas and service areas. The manufacture of the lighting is Bega, Pole-top luminaires, 8171 S in black, and as on the submitted plans.
- The Board found that the existing signage would remain in place, as noted on the submitted plans.
- The Board found that a liquid nitrogen system, storage tank and
associated equipment will be located in the front yard of the building. This location is based upon the need for access by the supply truck. The tank would be protected with bollards and a cyclone fence encircling the tank area. The applicant made the Board aware that there are three similar tanks on the Pfizer Campus.
- The Board found that the Pfizer Campus is secured 24 hours, 7 days a week by security guards.
- The Board found that the applicant informally drove around the residential streets to review the sight line into the project site. The applicant found that the wooded perimeter of the Pfizer Campus obstructed a direct view of the building. The applicant stated that a nearby building on the Pfizer Campus (Building #170) was comparable in height to the proposed
project.

- The Board found that Lederle Laboratories, or a similar user, has
occupied the site for at least 100 years and that the proposed use is within the Town of Orangetown Town Code in that the project is located in a light industrial (LI) zone where the proposed use is allowed.
- The Board found that the Architectural Plan depicts the vapor stack to be much larger than the actual construction, however, the applicant wanted
to illustrate the maximum possible construction. The actual stack will be
approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter and a stainless steel pipe, much smaller than noted on the plan. The Board held that the plans should be revised to note the actual size to be constructed. In the event that the pipe is larger than as noted on the presented plan, the applicant must reappear in front of A CAB OR. However, if the pipe is smaller than as depicted on the submitted plan, the plans may be stamped and passed
- back to the Building Inspector.
- The Board found that in order to prepare the site for construction, 4 existing trees would be relocated down the hill from the project site and replanted.
The hearing was then opened to the Public.
Public Comment:
Rodger Banta, 219 North Middletown Road, Nanuet; requested information regarding viewing the site from a high elevation.
Gregory Palazzo, 30 West Palisades Avenue, Nanuet; wanted to know if the
Board reviewed the site from low vantage points.
Ken Cully, 21 Nanuet Avenue, Nanuet; requested information regarding the type of protective bollards to be used around the nitrogen tanks.
Jodi Hamel, 31 West Palisades Avenue, Nanuet; raised concerns regarding the traffic flow on the Pfizer Campus.
Heather Hurley, 202 Hobart Street, Pearl River requested information regarding security around the tanks, width and construction material of the vapor stack and the proposed height.
Tom Sullivan, 112 South Highland Avenue, Nanuet; wanted to know if the stack would have a blinking red light at the top.
There being no one else to be heard from the public, the Public Hearing portion of the meeting was closed.
