FINDINGS  OF FACT:

 

1. The Board found that the site is partially  developed  and used for a landscaping  business.   The rear of the property  is lightly wooded.   The front of the site has a dirt area and used for a landscaping  business.

 

2. The Board found that the applicant has obtained  the needed  approvals from the Planning  Board;  Preliminary  Site Plan Approval  with

Conditions  and from the Zoning  Board of Appeals.   As required  by condition  #1 of ZBA #13-80,  the location  of the building  has been relocated  to the north side of the property  as per the request  of the neighbor.

 

3. The Board found that all trucks  and vehicles  would  be placed  inside the new structure.

 

4. The Board found that the proposed building  is a prefabricated  steel structure  with four sides of Clay  color (tan), with a bottom  border of Ivy color (green).   The roof is Ivy color and the doors are white.  The structure  measures  72 feet deep  by 32 feet wide.  The height of the structure  is approximately  20 feet tall.  The applicant  has the option of placing a cupola on top of the structure.

 

5. The Board found a 6 foot privacy fence  shall be placed around  the entire  property.

 

6. The Board found that in order to provide adequate screening,  the applicant  proposed  to plant Leyland trees  along the back property  line. The plan shall be revised to note the Leyland trees to be increased  in size to a minimum  height of 7 to 8 feet.  In the event that a plant dies, the applicant  shall replace  it within  a reasonable  time.

 

7. The Board found that the site would have two (2) down lit lights mounted  on posts;  1   in the front and 1   in the rear, both motion security lighting.

 

8. The Board found that concrete would  be the most common  material stored on site, which  does not create  an odor.

 

9. The Board found that photographs  depicting  an unkempt  site had been submitted  for review by an abutting  property  owner.   An interdepartmental    memorandum   dated October  16, 2014, from  Paul J. Witte, Town of Orangetown  Code Enforcement  Officer,  noted that the conditions  in the photographs  did not exist as of the date of the

meeting.
