PRESENT: Chairman Friedlander; Members Tedesco, Aukland, Raiselis, Birgy; Counsel Shumejda; Village Engineer McGarvey; Secretary Bellantoni
AMENDMENT TO APPROVAL – Greystone-On-Hudson – Fencing
Mr. Todd explained to the Board that since the subdivision will be a gated community, it must have an 8’ high fence surrounding it. Mr. Todd said that the site has a fence now, but some has been torn down.
Mr. Birgy asked if there was always an 8’ high fence there. Mr. Todd said yes, in some places.
Counsel Shumejda asked what percentage of the existing fence is 8’ high. Mr. Todd said approximately 40% of what is still there.
Counsel Shumejda said that since there is an existing fence, this will be a replacement of a pre-existing non-conforming structure and you have the right to replace it.
Ms. Raiselis suggested that they put a lower fence along Broadway. Mr. Todd said a 6’ high fence would be fine along Broadway. Chairman Friedlander commented that it would be consistent with what is presently on Broadway.
Mr. Tedesco moved that the Planning Board approves an 8’ high wrought iron fence to be placed around the perimeter of the Greystone-On-Hudson property. It will be a 6’ high fence along Broadway.
There already exists a 6’ to 8’ high fence around much of the perimeter. It is an old fence and not in good condition. It is a pre-existing non-conforming structure that needs to be renovated. The new fence will be a significant improvement. It will not be seen by anyone except for a few neighboring areas such as the Tarryhill community. In addition, the fencing will be extensively landscaped in the areas it can be seen. In addition, the Planning Board, pursuant to the Tarrytown Village Code Section 305-131 C2(d), is authorized to modify all lot and bulk regulations and that the applicant has met three of the criteria set forth in Subdivision (e) for final subdivision approval.
Seconded by Mr. Aukland. All in favor; motion carried.
AJOURNMENT
Mr. Tedesco moved, seconded by Mr. Birgy, and unanimously carried, that the special meeting be adjourned – 9:10 a.m.
Dale Bellantoni, Secretary
