TO:        Donald Brenner, 4 Independence Ave., Tappan, New York 10983

FROM: Architecture and Community Appearance Board of Review

 

RE: Aluf Plastics, Inc., Plan: The application of Aluf Plastics, Inc., applicant, for Aluf Real Property, Inc., owner, for the review of exhaust stack plans, at a site known as “Aluf Plastics, Inc., Exhaust Stack 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 2 Glenshaw Street, Orangeburg, Town of Orangetown, Rockland County, New York, and as shown on the Orangetown Tax Map as Section 70.18, Block 2, Lot 15 in the LI zoning district.

 

Heard by the Architecture and Community Appearance Board of Review of the Town of Orangetown at a meeting held Thursday, June 7, 2012, at which time the Board made the following determinations:

Donald Brenner, David Anderson and Gabriel Kahana appeared and testified for the applicant.

The Board received the following items:

1. A. Plans prepared by Korlipara Engineering Consulting Services, dated April 12, 2012, signed and sealed by Ravi Kumar Korlipara, P.E.:

– Drawing 1: Site Plan

– Drawing 2: Stack Location, Floor Plan and Stack Elevation

FINDINGS OF FACT:

1. The Board found that the proposed exhaust stakes were mandated by the Rockland County Department of Health (RCDOH). RCDOH required the stakes to eliminate the odors created by the applicant’s manufacturing facility.
2. The Board found that the applicant submitted a number of proposed plans to RCDOH and the plan before the Board was the accepted plan. The plan calls for a total of three (3) exhaust stacks; two (2) by the railroad side of the building and one (1) by the building’s office.  The locations of the stacks were determined by the need to collect exhaust from specific machinery.  All stacks would have guy wires, however, these wires would not be visible at grade.
3. The Board found that each stack has a proposed height of 30 feet from the roof top of the building and a diameter of 2 feet. The Board questioned if two of the stacks could be combined into one structure. The applicant stated that combining two stacks would create a wider stack and possibly the need for at least a 60 foot high stack.  The applicant noted that the stacks needed to be a certain height above the building in order to properly disburse the exhaust into the atmosphere at a certain velocity.  In addition, the stacks are proposed to be connected to specific machines inside the building, so there is a need to have the two stacks.
