HUDSON HARBOR (FORMERLY FERRY LANDINGS, LLC) – 41 HUDSON VIEW WAY – ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW FOR PHASE II
Certified Mailing Receipts were submitted.
Mr. John Jenkins of the Lessard Group, architects for the developer, stated since the March 4th meeting they have made changes and improvements to the design, and those revisions have been submitted to the Boards. He reviewed with the Boards revisions to the south elevation. He stated they looked at the center element where the entrance to the building occurs. They wanted to bring in more of the stone and timber character as in the lower part of the building. This breaks up the length of the building by introducing another vertical element. There will be a heavy timber canopy at the bottom and stone up the sides. There will be a timber trellis at the top which brings the rustic material higher up on the building. Mr. Jenkins stated they submitted three options for the decorative screening at the
garage openings; however they feel Option 2 is the best. Mr. Jenkins submitted a materials board. Mullions around the stone work will be bronze and on the upper portions will be dove gray. They have studied the base of the building and will regularize the base which could provide storage areas for the residents.
Chairman Perry and Mr. Carr felt the timber cornice on the corner of the building needs more thought – a different material should be used.
Chairman Perry agreed Option 2 is the best for the decorative screening at the garage openings.
Chairman Perry and Mr. Carr agreed that the changes seem to address the concerns the Boards expressed at the last meeting.
In regard to the iconic pavilion, Mr. Carr stated the amendments seem to have gone too far in the opposite direction from the last meeting. He submitted a photograph of a structure in Irvington. He felt this type structure could work at this location.
Chairman Perry stated he would have no problem if there were nothing placed there. He felt the view is important and would prefer as little structure as possible. There should be
plantings. He felt the Boards needed more time to review this area. Mr. Carr agreed and stated he only submitted the photograph to show what type of structure could work.
Chairman Perry questioned whether anyone present wished to address the Boards on this matter.
Mr. Gregory Gall, Heritage Hill Road, stated he agreed with the comments about the wood cornice at the corner of the buildings but there needs to be something to establish that corner. He felt there should be some type of gate to the inner court which he felt would not detract from the view out to the river.
Mr. Carr stated the Boards need more detailed drawings for the courtyard.
Chairman Perry felt the Architectural Review Board should tonight consider approval only for Buildings 1A and 2A. Other components for Phase II can be done in the near future.
Mr. Carr moved, seconded by Ms. Lambert, and unanimously carried that the Architectural Review Board approves Buildings 1A and 2A in Phase II of Hudson Harbor pursuant to plans Received May 14, 2010, with the caveat that the timber cornice on the towers at the end of the buildings needs to have a different material which must be resubmitted to the ARB and the decorative screening at the garage openings should be Option 2. The Board further approves the color samples of dove gray for glass sections and bronze for the windows and frames at the stone section and the gray tint as shown on the plans for the windows.
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Chairman Perry moved, seconded by Mr. Carr, that the Architectural Review Board approves the minutes of May 4, 2010, as submitted. Messrs. Perry, Carr and Ms. Lambert assented. Mr. Mignogna, Ms. Byrnes and Ms. Pinckney abstained. Motion carried.
ADJOURNMENT
Architectural Review Board members unanimously agreed that the meeting be adjourned – 8:45 p.m.
Planning Board members unanimously agreed to adjourn and to reconvene in the 2nd floor conference room.
