Jacobson, Chairman Andrew D. Fredman Donald Meeker Doris Erdman Absent: Nancy Seligson, Liaison Ronald Carpaneto, Director of Building Also Present: Francine M Brill, Recording Secretary CALL TO ORDER Chairman Jacobson called the meeting to order at 8:00 PM. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The Minutes were not discussed. MYRTLE BLVD. PARKING DECK Myrtle Blvd and Chatsworth Avenue. Steve Altieri appeared to represent the Town Board. The Board discussed the new submitted plan. The Board felt that the new plan looked different from the August 2006 plan that the BAR approved in concept in their letter to the Planning Board dated September 10, 2006. The Board had the following comments and concerns: 1. The support columns should be enlarged, clad in brick and have a capital on top. 2. The brick in the precast panel should run continuous across the arch up to the coping. 3. The inside wall of the lower parking deck should not be left plain. 4. The stair case roof should be a standing seam not as shown on the plan, and be more substantial. 5. Check the pitch of the elevation of the roof; it should be either 8 or 9 units vertical and 12 units horizontal. 6. Exposed plywood in the stairwell should be addressed. 7. The lighting in the parking area should be addressed. 8. A single color brick with variation should be used as opposed to two separate colors which appear too busy. 9. The precast concrete needs to be a warm tone. 10. The south end of the eastern exposure as seen from the Thruway needs to be addressed. 11. The pineapple decorations on the columns and on the brick should be removed. CHASE BANK 1350 Boston Post Road Michael Belantoni submitted the plan showing the changes the Board requested. The Board received the plan at the meeting and did not feel it was substantial enough. Mr. Jacobson stated that he would contact Mr. Belantoni requesting that they resubmit a plan showing what had been previously approved with the requested changes shown all on one new plan. The Board had the following comments and concerns. 1. The plan submitted did not show the whole concept only the changes, and the Board requires a complete plan to make an informed decision. 2. The corner of Boston Post Road and Weaver Street should have more plantings. The Board approved that plan in concept with the proviso that the applicant would resubmit the proposed changes to the Board. The Building Department will circulate the revised plan for the approval of the Board without another meeting on this matter. STATE FARM INSURANCE - 1415 Boston Post Road Applicant requested a postponement. THE GAP - 1340 Boston Post Road Applicant requested a postponement. MERCEDES BENZ - 2500 Boston Post Road Applicant requested a postponement. VILLAGE SQUARE 1262 Boston Post Road The applicant did not submit any new plans. NEW BUSINESS No new business.
