MINUTES OF PLANNING BOARD -2- 1/4/07 construct a road sign at the entrance of Marshall Road and a club house sign in the interior of the site. The entry sign is a panel sign with the Riverbend logo on it at the entrance to the property. The sign is connected to two main stone columns and two others on the side. It will ground lit via (3) 100 watt flood lights. Mr. Morris reminded applicant that signs must be shielded so all light is directly on the sign and not in the air. Mr. Morris recommended that the brighter of the three bulbs be put in the middle and minimize the two bulbs on the side. The clubhouse sign was discussed next. It is a 7 ft. high sign with the Riverbend logo on it and the wording identifying the club house. It is a double faced sign with similar lighting to the entrance sign. Both signs are hunter green with gold lettering. Mr. Morris asked if the signs on Route 9 would come down when the entrance sign is constructed. Applicant stated signs on Route 9 are temporary announcement signs and applicant will have to reapply for them in 6 months. Mr. McCormick made a motion to approve the entrance and clubhouse signs as presented contingent upon: (1) the wattage of the bulbs being documented and (2) color samples for file. Motion seconded by Mr. Moran. Unanimously carried. 2667 EAST MAIN STREET Next on the agenda was the proposal for a sign and new owner of business at 2667 East Main Street. No one was present for discussion. DENNIS CRAIG, 10 NORTH STREET Next on the agenda was the proposal from Dennis Craig to be able to have an overhang/awning on his garage at 10 North Street. No one was present for discussion. DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION/ALTERATIONS Next on the agenda was permission for Ms. Denise Calabrese to address the Planning Board to work on Design Guidelines for new construction/alterations. She stated she was there as a representative of the Beautification Committee as part of the Civic Association to offer their assistance along with the Planning Board to draft design guidelines for new construction/alterations for the Village of Wappingers Falls. Mr. Morris stated after the sign/lighting ordinances are in effect – the Planning Board is going to begin working on Architectural guidelines and this will fall right into place with that. Ms. Firstenberg stated at the present time the guidelines are vague – they rely on the Secretary of the Interior – and we should concentrate on making them more specific. Mr. McCormick added that he is more concerned with buildings in the Village being in a state of disrepair and it was stated that this could be addressed in the new guidelines. TBN NOVICK, 28 MARKET STREET Next on the agenda was the continuation of discussions with Michael Novick for six apartments on second floor and retail/office on first floor at 28 Market Street. Mr. Barger stated that he had sent letters to both the Water Board and Board of Trustees for sewer approval and is awaiting their approval. Mr. Morris asked applicant how he would be anchoring the scaffolding on the temporary construction barrier and stated this detail should be shown on the plan. Ms. Greig stated there should be a letter on file from the Board of Trustees regarding permission from the Board of Trustees for the construction barrier and a security bond for the time the barrier is up.
