HABR# 13- 09: Application of George and Leslie Morales for review of an existing shed at an existing single-family residence. The premises are located at 227 Route 9W, in the Town of Orangetown, Hamlet of Palisades, New York. Chapter 12, Section 12-4(A), Historic Areas Board of Review.

Tax Numbers: 78.18 I 1I3.2;  R-40 zoning district.

 

 

 

Heard by the HISTORIC AREAS BOARD OF REVIEW at a meeting held on Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at which time the Board made the following determination:

 

 

 

Leslie Morales and Daniel Kaplowitz, Architect, appeared. The following documents were presented:

1. Plans labeled “Shed Legalization 227 Route 9W” dated May 2013 signed and

sealed by Daniel Stuart Kaplowitz, Architect. ( 3 pages)

 

 

 

Daniel Kaplowitz, Architect, stated that the accessory structure was built 9 years ago without a permit.; that it was built to look like a stable but was never used as a stable; that the design is appealing and goes with the Spanish revival design of the house; that it is not visible from the street; that there are open storage areas on the sides of the shed; that the neighbor is the person purchasing the property; that this property

has three acres and if merged with the abutting property, they would be able to have

horses because the combined lots would be over five acres; that the applicant is scheduled for the Zoning Board because a variance is needed because the shed was built 7″ to close to the property line; and that minor structural modifications will be made to strengthen the roof but these changes will not affect the look of the shed from

the exterior.

 

Leslie Morales testified that the shed was built nine years ago without a permit because her son was severely injured in an accident and they needed the shed to store vehicles that they were using for his rehab; that she has appeared before the board many times; that at the time the shed was built, her main concern was for her son, and his rehabilitation and she and her husband were focused on him; that she is before the board for an aesthetic review and if the board is not pleased with the aesthetics of the shed she needs to know what needs to be changed; and that as for as the structural soundness of the shed, all of that will be taken care of and the shed will be

structurally sound before a certificate of occupancy can be issued for it.
