FOAM AND WASH, 1518-1520 ROUTE 9 First on the agenda was the public hearing on the request of WF, LLC (Gary Baright), 7509 North Broadway, Red Hook, NY 12571 requesting the following area variances to be able to construct a new light industrial building on the existing Foam and Wash site at 1518-1520 Route 9: (1) Side yard setback (Table 2F of the Zoning Ordinance) – requiring 0’0” min./24’0” max and requested is 28’3” on the south side and 60’6” on the north side, (2) Front yard setback (Table 2F of the Zoning Ordinance) – requiring 2’0” min/12’0” max and requested is 442’11” on the west side and (3) Building Height (Table 2F of the Zoning Ordinance) requiring 72’0” (2 stories min./6 stories max.) and requested is one (1) story. Mr. Gary Baright, owner of the property and Mr. Jay Diesing, Architect were present. It was stated for the record that Dutchess County Department of Planning had responded to the zoning referral with a “matter of local concern” comment, there are no violations against this property, a copy of the published legal notice was submitted and copies of the “certified mailings” were submitted. Mr. Diesing stated that the proposal is to build a new building at the rear of the car wash site. It will be a light industrial building – Foam and Wash will be using a portion of the building as their maintenance facilities and will rent other spaces to tradesmen or other subcontractors. They are renovating the front building – they have eliminated the detailing portion of the building and it will be turned into an automatic car wash and two dog wash bays. The building is about 11,000 sq. ft. It will be a one story building. The front yard setback does sound like a very large setback – but it is a large piece of property and there is no way the building could be built any closer to the front because of the size of the building and the existing building already there. The parking that is behind the Laundromat will be reconfigured. They also wanted to give the residents of the apartments in the rear of the property a little bit more of a buffer – that is why they were only looking to build a one story building. Mr. Firstenberg then asked about the height variance – he stated that the building looked like a two story building and Mr. Diesing answered that they designed the building to look like a two story building – even though its not. Mr. Firstenberg stated that the Zoning Board of Appeals could not make a final determination until the Planning Board closed SEQRA. At this point the Planning Board has declared their Intent to be Lead Agency.
