MINUTES OF THE PLANNING BOARD -2- 11/1/07 Mr. Morris also stated that logos and/or symbols do not count toward the calculations for sign area. It was suggested that applicant could put a bicycle in the window as long as it did not cover 25% of the window. Mr. McCormick made a motion to deny the proposal for applicants to have the words bicycles in the windows, motion seconded by Mr. Moran. Unanimously carried. IMPERIAL PLAZA, NEW HACKENSACK ROAD Next on the agenda is a proposed pylon sign for the New Hackensack entrance of the Imperial Plaza. It was stated that Mr. Fenton had reviewed the sign for conformance and the height is in conformance with the building that it will be representing (the former Treasure Island) – Mr. Mei stated the height of the sign is 30 ft. and the height of the building is 35 ft. Applicant stated he did not know the exact lineal frontage of the building. The dimensions of the sign is 9' x 5'. The applicant was informed that he would have to supply color samples before the sign is erected. Because the Board does know who the tenant will be in that space and therefore does not know what the sign would look like – the only thing they can vote on this evening is the concept of the sign – but no sign can be erected until the proposed tenant has been selected. Mr. Paggi stated he felt that a resolution should be drafted by the Planning Board giving DLC Management some direction regarding this sign. Ms. Greig reminded applicant that a 30 ft. sign is not consistent with what the Greenway Guide recommends – and that if the Village passes a new ordinance for the Route 9 corridor – he may have to change the sign within 2 years of the new ordinances being passed. Ms. Costa made a motion stating that the Planning Board agrees with the concept of the sign but prior to installing the sign, the applicant shall submit to the Planning Board a plan showing specific details of the sign, including colors, materials, shape, and lighting, including color samples of all proposed colors, that the applicant shall submit to the Planning Board information regarding the linear footage of the building the sign will advertise and the maximum height of the sign shall be 30 ft and the maximum sign area shall be 5' x 9'. Motion was seconded by Mr. McCormick. Unanimously carried. DUTCHESS SHOPPING PLAZA, ROUTE 9 Next on the agenda was the proposal from Dutchess Shopping Plaza with a new tenant for retail use. No one showed up at the hearing. DANIEL QUEZADA, 2651 EAST MAIN STREET Next on the agenda was the proposal from Daniel Quezada for renovations to 2651 East Main Street. Mr. Pride – Architect for applicant stated their proposal is to tear down an existing structure between the two buildings on the property and replace. It was stated that applicant had received the area variance he needed. Applicant presented the Board with the type of brick they would be using – it would be dryvit – custom brick – it is a stucco that is made to look like brick. (copy on file in the Planning/Zoning offices). It was stated that according to Section 617.5.C.2 – this action is a Type II action under SEQRA. Mr. McCormick made a motion determining that this is a Type II action under SEQRA, seconded by Mr. Moran. On roll call vote – Mr. McCormick – Aye, Mr. Moran – Aye, Mr. Morris – Aye, Ms. Costa – Aye and Ms. Firstenberg – Absent. Mr. McCormick then made a motion stating this project is basically a “wash” from the standpoint of what they are taking down and putting back up and they are bringing it into conformance with the existing buildings around it versus what it is today – it is exempt from SEQRA – Ms. Costa seconded the motion. On roll call vote – Mr. Morris – Aye, Mr. McCormick – Aye, Mr. Moran – Aye, Ms. Costa – Aye and Ms. Firstenberg – Absent. At this point after some informal discussion and considering the fact that variance has been granted and the exterior will be stucco made to look like brick – Mr. McCormick made a motion to approve the project, seconded by Ms. Costa.
