At the meeting  of June  11, 2013 Jay Greenwell,  Land  Surveyor,  Robert Hone, Architect, Robert  Knoebel,  Attorney,  Mark Comito,  Contractor,  Emilio  and Christine  Defelice appeared.

 

Robert Hoene, Architect,  stated that they have adjusted  the first floor ceiling to 9′ from

10′, they have lowered  the second  story ceiling height  from 9′ to 8′ and the pitch of the roof went from  10 on 12 to 9 on 12; that when all of these items  added up, lower the structure by 3  V2 feet.

 

Jay Greenwell,  Land  Surveyor,  stated that he did the original  subdivision  layout; that he has spoken to the Department  of Transportation   and has been given permission  to drain this lot into the catch basin  on Route  9W; that this catch basin is lower than the catch basin  in the street; that this will drop the elevation  level from  197 .8 to 196; that this change  along with the architectural  changes  lowers the house by 5.3 ‘;that   he relative elevation  of the home  on Lot #3 is +6.1′  over the road  (9W) and that the home  on Lot #2 is +6′  over the road (9W) and compared  to Lot #1 which  is _6.1′  over the road and now

4.1′ over the road (9W); and that they have gone as far as they  can to accommodate  the

concerns  of the Board.

 

Robert  Knoebel,  Attorney,  stated that he was not present  at the beginning  of the application  but he would  ask the Board to understand  that there are some limitations because  of the drainage  from the lot; that he spoke to the Board’s attorney  and that the maximum  height of the house  was known  at the time that the berm  and subdivision  were approved.

 

Mark  Comito  stated that they have  done tests on the property  and they hit ground  water at

184; that any drywell  installed  would  be a wet well; that he would  not build a new house with pumps  for the basement;  that it wouldn’t make  sense to depend  on a machine  when the footing  drain can be drained properly  without  that;  and that the house is 80’  from Route  9W.

 

 

 

 

Public  Comment:

 

Carol Baxter,  34 Lawrence  Lane,  Palisades,  N. Y., stated that she came to meetings  when the property  was before the Boards  for subdivision;  that Lenar changed hands  and now the public  would  have to attend  Board  meetings  16 times regarding  each house; that they fought for the berm; that if the house is raised up so close to Route 9W it will be a noisy house; that the homeowners   should  screen  it.

 

Lynn  Sandhouse,  201Route9W,  Palisades  asked if these houses  exceed the height limitation.

 

Milbry Polle, 236 Route  9W, Palisades,  NY, stated that she lives on Route 9W and the noise  is incredible;  that the applicants  should plant trees to avoid the noise.

FROM:  HISTORIC  AREAS  BOARD  OF REVIEW,  TOWN  OF ORANGETOWN

 

HABR#  13- 07: Application   of Richard  Descherer  for review  of a raise in height elevation  of an existing  single-family  residence  out of the flood plain.  The premises  are located  at 1  Washington   Spring Road, in the Town of Orangetown,  Hamlet  of Palisades, New York.  Chapter  12, Section  12-4(A),  Historic  Areas Board  of Review.

Tax Numbers:  78.19 I 1  I 5; R-22 zoning district.

 

Heard by the HISTORIC AREAS BOARD OF REVIEW at a meeting held on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at which time the Board made the following determination:

 

 

 

William Bosley, contractor, Richard and Jennie Descherer, John Murray, Architect, and

Matt Warner, Architect, appeared.

 

The following documents were presented:

 

1. Site Modification Plot boundary & Topographic survey dated 01/27/2013 with the latest revision date of 04/25/20013 signed and sealed by Steven J. Collazuol, P.E..
2. Architectural plans dated 04/12/2013 with the latest revision date of 04/25/2013 signed and sealed by John Burnside Murray, Architect.
3. A cover letter dated May 16, 2013 from Richard and Jennie DeScherer (2pages).
4. A memorandum dated April 30, 2013 from Langan Engineering Environmental, Surveying and Landscape Architecture, D.P.C. (4 pages).

 

John Murray, Architect, stated that Super Storm Sandy took out the lower portion of the house; that Bill Bosley dried the house out; that a permanent solution to flooding was looked into; that engineers that specialize in lifting structures were hired; that the plan is

to lift the house ten feet seven inches (1 O’ 7”) and place it on pillars that will drilled down into the bedrock and reinforce it with steel beams; that the pillars would then be covered with break away walls that would match the facade of the existing house; that this is necessary in order to preserve the house and make it insurable in the future; that these proposed walls are designed to break apart in case of another storm like sandy; that the first floor of the house would be safely outside of the rise of the river; that the northern wing of the house is constructed of palisades stone as are the chimneys and they will be lifted and more Palisades stone will be added to the structure in that section; that raising the house in this way will result in a pleasing way to compliment the mansard design.

 

Bill Bosley stated that when the storm hit, it did so with such force that it broke several windows; that this was actually a good thing because it relieved some of the pressure on the existing walls and prevented the collapse of the walls; that the pool house in the rear is not being raised because it did not sustain any damage; that there will be an elevator installed to take the residents to the first floor; that the elevator will automatically go to the first floor and stay there when not in use, ensuring that it will not get damaged if another storm occurs.

 

Richard Decsherer stated that they did have a fire twelve years ago and do not want to have to live through another storm like Sandy without fixing problem.
