A memorandum dated September 26, 2012 from James Dean, Superintendent of Highways, Town of Orangetown.

On advice of Dennis Michaels, Deputy Town Attorney, counsel to the Zoning Board of Appeals, Mr. Mowerson moved for a Board determination based upon the testimony heard by this Board, and the facts as presented in the application submissions and in the record, since the application entails the ZBA engaging in a review to determine compliance with technical requirements, and also seeks to construct or expand a primary or accessory/appurtenant, non-residential structure or facility less than 4,000 square feet of gross floor area and not involving a change in zoning or a use variance and consistent with local land use controls; that the foregoing application is a Type II action exempt from the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), pursuant to SEQRA Regulations §617.5 (c)(7) & (28); which does not require SEQRA environmental review. The motion was seconded by Ms. Castelli and carried as follows: Mr. Sullivan, aye; Ms. Salomon, aye; Ms. Albanese, aye; Ms. Castelli, aye; and Mr. Mowerson, aye.
Mr. Mowerson addressed the eight points the ZBA considers in the granting of a Special permit; and considered that point six regarding a parking and traffic flow plan and point seven concerning drainage should be addressed with the Town Highway Department and the Department of Environmental Management and Engineering.
The proposed use as described and represented by the applicant:
Will be appropriately located with respect to transportation, water supply, waste disposal, fire and police protection and other public facilities.
Will not cause undue traffic congestion or create a traffic hazard.
Will not create at any point of determination set forth in §§4.16, 4.17 and 4.18 any more dangerous and objectionable elements referred to in § 4.11 than is characteristic of the uses expressly permitted as of right in the same district.
Will not adversely affect the character of or property values in the area.
Will comply with all other regulations applicable to such use. For all special permit uses a proposed plan showing the size and location of the lot, design and location of the proposed facilities (including access drives, screening and streets within 1,000 feet) and a detailed description thereof must be submitted in accordance with the rules prescribed by the Board.
The Board has instructed the applicant to submit such plan (described in #6) to James Dean, Superintendent of Highways, Town of Orangetown, for his approval.
Before any special permit is granted, the applicant must secure approval of the proposed drainage structure by the town Engineer or the consulting engineers for the Town of Orangetown. The drainage criteria for special permit uses shall be the same and the drainage criteria in the Highway Specifications of the Town of Orangetown and the Orangetown Subdivision Regulations. The special permit shall also require that where it is not practical to install permanent drainage facilities prior to the completion of the work for which the special permit is granted, it will be necessary for temporary drainage structure to be provided so that all surrounding properties are protected from flooding hazards during
construction of the project for which the special permit is issued. No permit shall be issued by the Inspector unless and until a drainage plan approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Town Engineer and/or consulting engineers shall be filed with the Inspector.
The Zoning Board has instructed the applicant to submit a drainage plan (described in #8) to the Orangetown Department of Environmental Management and Engineering (“DEME”) for approval.
The site development plan submitted must show that concrete sidewalks and curbs, to be constructed in accordance with the specifications of the Town of Orangetown are to be provided.
The Zoning Board has waived the sidewalk and curbs requirement (described in #10) because there have never been sidewalks in this area and no construction is taking place on the lot.
Based upon the information contained in the applicant’s Resume of Operations and Equipment, the Fire Prevention Supplement, the letter dated September 13, 2012 from Joseph J. Moran, P.E., Commissioner of the Orangetown Department of Environmental Management and Engineering concluding that there is no reasonable doubt as to the likelihood of applicant’s conformance to the Zoning Code § 4.1 Performance Standards, the memorandum dated September 12, 2012 from Michael B. Bettmann, Chief Fire Inspector, Town of Orangetown Bureau of Fire Prevention (B.F.P.), and the letter dated September 26, 2012 from James Dean, Superintendent of Highways, Town of Orangetown; the other documents presented to the Board and the testimony of applicant’s representatives, the Board finds and concludes that conformance with the Performance Standards set forth in Zoning Code Section 4.1 will result sufficient to warrant the issuance of a Building Permit and/or Certificate of Occupancy, subject to compliance with the orders, rules and regulations of the Orangetown Office of Building, Zoning & Planning Administration & Enforcement, DEME, and Orangetown B.F.P., and all other departments having jurisdiction of the premises.
DECISION: In view of the foregoing and the testimony and documents presented, the Board: RESOLVED, that the application for Performance Standards Conformance, pursuant to Zoning Code § 4.1, and the SPECIAL PERMIT §§4.16. 4.17 AND 4.18 are APPROVED with the SPECIFIC CONDITION that the applicant adhere to all of the requirements set forth by the Chief Fire Inspector, Town of Orangetown B.F.P., letter dated February 2, 2012, by the memorandum dated September 26, 2012 from James J. Dean; and meet the requirements set forth in #6,#7,#8 and #9 of the above finding of facts and conclusions; AND FURTHER RESOLVED, that such decision and the vote thereon shall become effective and be deemed rendered on the date of adoption by the Board of the minutes of which they are a part.
The foregoing resolution to approve the application for Zoning Code § 4.1 Performance Standards and Special Permit §§ 4.16, 4.17 and 4.18 was presented and moved by Mr. Mowerson, seconded by Ms. Salomon and carried as follows: Mr. Sullivan, aye; Ms. Castelli, aye; .Ms. Albanese, aye; Ms. Salomon, aye; and Mr. Mowerson, aye.
