3. The Board found that the application  before the Board was only for the building.   Any type of landscaping  and site improvements  would  be a separate  application.   The Board also noted that the sign noted on the submitted  Architectural  elevation  plan prepared  by Kier Levesque,  R.A.,

A-3, would  be a separate  Building  Permit Application  and is not for review

at this time.

4. The Board found that the applicant required  security  lighting on the site.

The prior building  had lights on the rear of the structure  which  remained on all night.  The proposed  plan provides  for Hubbell  Outdoor  Lighting, LNC2 Series security  light fixtures,  or equal, on the rear and front elevations  of the building.

5. The Board found in addition  to security  lighting, fencing  was required to secure the vehicles  that remain outside  of the building.  The fencing  noted on the submitted  Site Plan is existing.

 

Public Comment:

Tracy  Mirabal, 257 East Erie Street,  Blauvelt,  raised concerns  regarding  the impact of the proposed  development  on her property.   She requested  that the applicant  plant a vegetative  buffer along the property  line to prevent  light spillage into her yard.

 

The Board considered  Ms. Mirabal’s  comments  but determined  that there were mature trees existing on the applicant’s  property  line that would  impede the growth of any new vegetation.   The Board further  found that the lights on the back of the applicant’s  property would  be down lit pursuant  to Code and would act to minimize  any potential  spillage  into the neighbor’s  property.

 

 

There  being no one else to be heard from the public, the Public Hearing  portion of the meeting was closed.

DECISION:  In view of the foregoing  and the testimony  before the Board, the application  was APPROVED AS PRESENTED.

 

The foregoing  resolution  was presented  and moved by Jill Fieldstein  and seconded  by Blythe Yost and carried  as follows;  Jill Fieldstein  Chairperson,  aye; Blythe Yost, Vice-Chairperson,   aye; Deborah  Stuhlweissenburg,   absent; Andrew Andrews,  aye; Brian Terry, aye; Bruce Jensen,  aye and Brian Aitcheson,  aye.
