The applicant is looking to renovate the existing service station at this location. This application has received site plan approval. Chris Gent stated the applicant would like to use JamesHardie Heathered Moss or Sailcloth color with anodized bronze storefront, white trim and a weathered wood roof. Krista Callaghan asked if the trim would be white-white or off-white. Mr. Gent stated the trim would be a PVC material in white so they would not have to repaint the trim. The only �color the PVC trim comes in is a true white color. The applicant showed drawings of the building from different elevations so the Board could see how much of each material would be used. Chris Gent stated they would like to maximize the glass used for the space. He also stated the color of the awning has not been determined. It could depend on their partnership with Dunkin Donuts. Chris Gent stated it would be a standing seam, maintenance free, metal awning, Krista Callaghan asked if the Food Mart sign on the front of the building would also include the Mobil logo. Scott Parker stated that the store sign would not be Mobil. The applicant showed the canopy with a two-thirds blue color and one-third white color with new Mobil graphics on it. The Mobil logo will be on the canopy, the gas dispensers and the main id sign on the street. Krista Caltaghan asked if there was some way they could tie the store sign and the Mobil sign to each other. Chris Gent stated their company was changing the corporate identity and that decision would determine how they could make the signs more inclusive. Chris Gent indicated that they are proposing a linear LED downlight fixture over the front sign. He also stated all the lighting would be LED fixtures inside and outside including recessed LED lights in the exterior soffit. Sean McCarthy asked about the canopy for the Mobil sign. Scott Parker stated that the canopy does block the sign from the street so they would like also like to put a sign at street level. Discussion ensued regarding signage for the building and the gas pumps. Krista Callaghan asked about the width of the pilasters. She felt they should maximize the glass but also make the pilasters thicker from a proportion standpoint. Discussion ensued regarding using siding or trim around the glass. The Board felt the trim or siding should be thicker. Sean McCarthy suggested they make the corner trim wider. Scott Parker agreed they could widen the corner and use a flat trim around the door. Krista Callaghan asked about the material for the trim around the awning. Chris Gent stated the PVC trim would go across the front of the building and the awning is a separate unit that comes down over the trim and there would be a gutter on the front of the building. Discussion ensued regarding the use of white PVC trim or bronze storefront on the building. The applicant will be using anodized bronze "storefront" across the front of the building, Krista Callaghan asked about the fixture plan for the interior of the store. Chris Gent stated the ceiling would be Armstrong (Dune- color) that looks like 2x4 wood with LED lighting. The applicant showed samples of paint colors for the inside of the store and Formica chips. They also showed cabinetry; countertop and trim materials including the FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) for the bathroom and the applicant stated the bathroom tile would be 12x12 porcelain, color-through Daltile.

Scott Parker showed the transaction area and stated the casework would be finished on the window side. All the wiring would come up underneath the counters. There are no big displays against the windows. There are walk-in coolers across that back that have a black finish and all LED lighting on the inside. Krista Callaghan asked if they would come for sign approval once the company decides on a new corporate identity. Chris Gent stated they would adhere to the Village's sign policy and let the Building Department know the new company name. Sean McCarthy stated they need to incorporate the building number so it could be seen from the street. The applicant would be using Ivy Green color awning unless Dunkin Donuts partners with them and then the awning color may change. Scott Parker asked about the Mobil sign on the street. Sean McCarthy asked if it would be a digital sign. Mr. Parker stated they would like to use an LED digital sign so they could change the prices. According to Westchester County law they have to show both the cash and the credit prices. Scott Parker stated they would only list 4 prices on the sign. Chris Gent stated the building would have a transfer switch for a generator. Sean McCarthy asked about the overall height for the sign. Scott Parker stated their minimum standard is 17 feet but they would adhere to the code. They try to keep the sign at least seven feet above the ground so it doesn't affect the sightline from the street. Sean McCarthy asked if the sign was cantilevered. Scott Parker stated it was a one-pole sign and it would be standard white tubular steel pole. The box for the sign would be internally lit plastic box. Scott Parker asked the Board about using a backlit LED sign for the front of the building. Krista Callaghan asked the applicant to show an example of that type of sign. Sean McCarthy suggested they use a single price number for only two types of gas. Scott Parker stated they usually have to show two products and cash/credit prices for both and they would have to speak with Mobil if the Board does not approve that sign. Krista Callaghan asked about the clearance height from the ground to the bottom of the sign. Scott Parker stated they would have to see if they could get all the information they need on the size of the sign that's allowed. They feel it is important to get the food mart/coffee shop/Dunkin Donuts on the sign as well as the gas information. Scott Parker asked about having a full LED panel that switches back and forth between prices. Sean McCarthy asked if it was dual-sided. The applicant agreed and stated the sign is perpendicular to the street. Krista Callaghan asked if the Mobil sign on the canopy would be lit. Scott Parker stated that Mobil would like their name lit. He also stated the sign has an automatic light sensor so the LED lighting dims itself but it can also be dimmed manually. Ms. Callaghan asked if the Mobil letters were individual letters. Scott Parker stated the letters are individual and Architectural Review Board Meeting, March 27, 2 0 1 3 - APPROVED 5 �raised with a box behind them. He also stated if the letters need to be flat they can cut into the back panel and recess them. The Board felt the letters should be flush with the canopy. Scott Parker stated they would do a new wrap on the canopy. Sean McCarthy asked about the privacy fencing. The applicant planned on using 6 foot stockade fencing on the side and the back wall. The Board suggested that the natural wood fencing should be painted to match the siding color except for the fencing on the residential side, which can remain the natural color. Sean McCarthy asked about the guardrail along the right side of the property. The Board asked the applicant to take it down since it is in deteriorated condition. Sean McCarthy asked if the public had any comments. There were no public comments. He stated there was enough information for the applicant to move forward for a building permit based on making the changes discussed. 3 ) Cras Real Estate 3 8 Beekman Avenue Continued The applicant did not appear for this application, which was a continuation of a proposal for a new sign. Based on information submitted, the Board stated the applicant should put together a complete set of drawings and the location for the proposed sign. The applicant should revisit the comments previously made by the Board at the November 2012 meeting. The Board will also ask the applicant to remove the current signage. 4 ) The Salvation Army of Greater New York 9 0 Valley Street New application Matthew Schappert represented the application. He stated the plans were for a new chapel and a multi-purpose room, various administrative offices and classrooms. Sean McCarthy stated this application was currently before the Planning Board and they would have a public hearing next month. The applicant had received variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Schappert stated the applicant typically used conservative, traditional materials such as brick, standing seam metal roof, clear anodized storefront. He showed drawings to the Board. He stated the site is currently 1 0 0 % paved and while they are adding parking, they are also trying to add landscaping. Mr. Schappert stated the applicant had received approval to landbank some parking to gain more green space. They have incorporated planter beds that work as a filtration system for the roof runoff to flow into the storm sewage. They will hold plants that are suitable for wet environments. Architectural Review Board Meeting, March 27, 2 0 1 3 - APPROVED 5 �Mr. McCarthy asked if it would be a real brick building or a brick veneer. The Village's concern is with simulated brick material or stucco being used on the lower levels. Matthew Schappert stated their intent was to use real brick. Krista Callaghan asked about the roof color. Mr. Schappert stated it would be a dark gray roof. Sean McCarthy asked about the trim color. Mr. Schappert stated the trim would be a white or light color trim. Krista Callaghan asked about the brick detail over the window. Matthew Schappert stated they would be using "solder course" brick pattern to break up the facade of the building. Ms. Callaghan asked if it would be the same color brick. Mr. Schappert agreed. Krista Callaghan asked about the site plan and the parking on the corner of Wildey and Valley Streets. Mr. Schappert stated they wanted to free up the corner of Wildey and Valley streets for building because a portion ofthat property lies in Tarrytown and it would be difficult to construct a building in two municipalities. He also stated the existing building would be able to function while the new building is being constructed and those are reasons how the site was situated. Mr. Schappert stated they would install landscaping to obscure the parking at that corner. Sean McCarthy asked if it was a metal (simulated wrought iron) aluminum fence on that corner. Mr. Schappert stated that evergreen shrubs would cover most of the fence. Mr. McCarthy asked the overall height of the building. Mr. Schappert stated the highest point was 3 7 feet high. The lowest portion was 27 feet. Mr. McCarthy asked if the signage shown was the only signage proposed. Mr. Schappert stated they would submit signage separately but typically they would have a sign with individual letters and their shield and incorporate a cross, possibly three feet high. Sean McCarthy asked about the "rose" window. Mr. Schappert stated it would be glass. Mr. McCarthy asked if the rest of the windows would have aluminum clear anodized finish. Mr. Schappert stated he had not specified the exact window but it would correlate to the storefront finish. He also stated that the applicant wanted to put security mesh on the chapel windows. The Board suggested the applicant install site security cameras with a direct link to the police department if they felt there was a security issue. Krista Callaghan asked about the "pop-outs" on the building. Mr. Schappert stated no more than four inches. Ms. Callaghan asked if there was a way to break out the length of windows on the long facade. Mr. Schappert stated he could possibly do a narrower window to set it apart. Sean McCarthy asked if the chapel doors were aluminum. Mr. Schappert stated they were. Mr. McCarthy asked the applicant to put the building number on the signage. Mr. Schappert showed the ADA entrance. Sean McCarthy asked about the finish on the ramp surface. Mr. Schappert stated it was concrete but he could give it a coating so it had a texture.

Mr. Schappert stated he would like to give it a color to complement the brick. Sean McCarthy asked about the railings. Mr. Schappert stated they were pipe railings.
