He explained they are proposing 24 panels on the roof and looking to use 3 roof surfaces none of which are facing the street. The Board questioned which way the garage is facing, and the response is facing West. It was stated that the panels are not facing the street and Mr. Sbeglia stated that panels facing the street are not allowed. Mr. Sbeglia asked for photographs as well as a streetscape so it will help the argument since as a rule, the code is written that visibility from the street is not permitted. As per the plan presented, the proposed panels would be visible from the street. The Application was DENIED. 2. APPLICATION OF MR. & MRS. DIMITRI PAPAIOANNOU, in accordance with §57-5.A.3 of the Village Code, to permit the erection of a 167 sq. ft. first floor addition with a 182 sq. ft. second floor and 91 sq. ft. open porch at the rear, and 44 sq. ft. portico, in the Kenwood Road front, with the installation of an additional A/C compressor in the side yard; at the dwelling known as 56 KENWOOD ROAD (Map of Country Life Development, Block T, Lot 365, R-6 district) Building Department # ADRB-000187-2023, John J.

Mr. Viscardi and Mr. & Mrs. Papaioannou appeared. Mr. Viscardi presented a color rendering as well as a revised material list. Mr. Viscardi explained that it is a simple project and submitted photos showing a partial brick/partial siding dwelling and mentioned that the owners were approved for a variance for front & rear yard setbacks. Mr. Viscardi discussed that the owners are proposing a one-story portico with black aluminum standing seam roof to match the existing standing seam roof. The renovation is to the side of a corner lot, to extend the kitchen and a new bedroom above that and a small porch. The variance was for the rear yard and side yard setback. Mr. Viscardi mentioned that the roof lines are staying the same, the brick to remain and adding asphalt shingles Hardie Board siding in “Navajo Beige” straight edge panels exposure, replacing the shutters and matching the gable roof. The extension is in the rear yard and adding the portico to spruce up the façade. Mr. Sbeglia stated he is not thrilled about the overhang and Mr. Viscardi stated you will not see the extension from the front. If you look at the rear elevation, the porch and the second story stick out about 10” and he did not want to create a big overhang. Also, you don’t see the addition due to the extensive landscaping with hedges and bushes that go around, you won’t even see it. Mr. Sbeglia questioned why the lower level is smaller than the upper level, which was due to the required variance. Mr. Sbeglia also mentioned if you have a rear yard restriction, why does the second floor have to come out wider than the first floor. Mr. Viscardi stated they did receive a variance and wanted to leave as much rear yard as possible. Mr. Sbeglia asked again why the first floor is smaller than the first floor and Mr. Viscardi stated they needed more room on the second floor. Mr. Sbeglia stated that is not enough of a reason. Mr. V stated he has done so many similar cantilevers and Mr. Sbeglia requested to see how it is going to turn the corner. Mr. Viscardi stated it blends right into the corner as shown on the rendering. Mr. O’Brien suggested finishing the bottom edge. Mr. Viscardi stated he can return the frieze board, but it won’t make much of a difference. Mr. Sbeglia suggested extending the frieze board and it will accent the column. Mr. Viscardi again stated he does not want a big overhang there. Mr. Sbeglia stated roofs overhang the columns, and this one does not, and Mr. Viscardi stated that the porch will count as lot coverage. He also stated that the wall is set way back and if they extended the porch, it would require another variance. Ms. Krug stated that near her home out east, they have the same restriction. Mr. Viscardi stated he has no problem extending the frieze board and mentioned that the brick is as existing. Mr. Sbeglia questioned the window with the brick. Mr. Viscardi Minutes October 24, 2023.docx Page 2 of 13  NOTICE OF MEETING OF THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW BOARD INCORPORATED VILLAGE OF GARDEN CITY VILLAGE HALL 351 STEWART AVENUE GARDEN CITY, NY 11530 MEETING MINUTES TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2023, AT 6:30 P.M. mentioned that the addition is at the left side of the house and is not touching the brick. He also stated the house is a “one of a kind” in the Mott section. Again, Mr. Viscardi agreed to return the frieze board. Mr. Sbeglia commented on the 10” columns and Mr. Capece questioned the porch on the right and is trying to understand the setback and stated there needs to be more differentiation there since the columns on the right side comes in line with the brick. Mr. Viscardi stated they are setback 10” as shown on sheet #4. Mr. Capece referred to the rear elevation and felt that the columns should be 6” to the right and Mr. Viscardi stated it is a small porch and they do want to sit on it and the porch will never be seen from the street due to the heavy landscaping. Mr. Capece suggested bringing the columns in and Mr. O’Brien showed a photo of the home from his cell phone. Mr. Capece suggested one setback behind the brick. The Chairperson confirmed that the plan be revised to show the frieze board return detail and Mr. Viscardi stated there will be space there; otherwise, he could put a smaller column. Mr. Sbeglia stated he was not in favor of reducing the size of the column. The Application was APPROVED subject to the above-stated condition. 3. APPLICATION OF JIAYANG YIN & WURONGYAN ZHANG in accordance with section 57-5.A-3 and 200-45.3 of the Village code, for approval to issue permits for the installation of; a 4.86 kW (12) panel solar array on the side and rear rooves, and a 13.5 kWh energy storage system at the rear of the premises, known as 36 FENIMORE AVENUE (Map of Nassau Havens, Block E, Lots 32, R-6 district) Building Department # 000196-2023, TESLA Adjourned at the September 26, 2023, meeting.

Building Department application # ADRB-000131-2023, Kenneth C. Long, R.A. Kenneth Long appeared on behalf of the Applicant and proposed a second story addition and front portico. The existing is an extra wide house, taking the roof off the house and adding a second story. He mentioned that the material list gives a description of the proposed materials for a true center hall colonial. He stated the materials are simple and include White Composite Hardie lap siding, windows by Anderson, Board and Batten trim. They are using a Mahogany Gelfand finish for the columns and has accent detail in Mahogany. The gutters are white and Timberline Charcoal roof, Mist Gray stone and all flagging will be Blue Mountain bluestone and at top of the portico, they are adding a black standing seam roof. The sample packet outlines all the selected materials. Mr. Capece requested a sample of the stone which Mr. Long displayed to the Board. Mr. Long stated since it is a corner lot, and they received a variance for side yard setback due to the garage and front portico. Mr. Long explained that there is a huge hedge, and the house is not visible on Maxwell Street. Mr. Capece stated it is a deliberate move and understands the reason. Mr. Capece stated he likes the front façade. The Chairperson inquired how the columns will match the front door and will be done in the field. Ms. Krug requested a streetscape and Mr., Long explained that the colors were chosen to blend with the surrounding homes. Mr. Long stated he also addressed the gutters and leaders on the plan. Mr. Sbeglia questioned the roof above the portico shown on the elevation, which Mr. Long confirmed is also a standing seam roof and will all match on the first floor. Mr. Sbeglia suggested treating all the little roofs the same and matching the second floor. Mr. Long thought that the break in materials on the second floor would give it some separation. Mr. Sbeglia suggested possibly unifying it. The Application was APPROVED.

Building Department # ADRB-000198-2023, H. Bradford Gustavson, R.A. Mr. Gustavson and Mr. & Mrs. George appeared, and it was stated that they are planning to do a renovation to improve the exterior and a second-floor addition. The materials include Hardi Board Mist siding, Biscayne Blue Roof, white Anderson windows. The shutters and front door will be blue. Mr. Gustavson stated they had to go for a variance since the lot is wedge shaped and mentioned that he did not have a color rendering. Mr. Sbeglia questioned why he is creating such a humongous roof and Mr. Gustavson stated the roof is 12-pitch. Mr. Capece stated there is a lot of real estate that needs more of a punch and a color rendering would have helped to give a visual. There are a lot of walls and not sure what is the answer. Mr. Sbeglia stated that what is happening below is fine and to possibly bring the top plates down and there are different ways to rectify it. Mr. Gustavson asked if the roof should be less severe, and Mr. Capece stated the shortcoming. Mr. Gustavson stated he tried to center it on the portico. Mr. Gustavson agreed to lower the pitch of the roof and Mr. Sbeglia felt that there is a lot of wasted lumber since it is so big and more to one side. Mr. Sbeglia also suggested changing the pitch and the reverse gable and keeping it at the same height. Mr. Gustavson stated they are trying to stay within the budget. Mr. Sbeglia suggested that the second floor be centered rather than all on one side. Mr. Gustavson stated by changing the pitch it will look better and stated they are not looking to occupy the attic space. Mr. Capece is not sure if the pitch comes down may not be a solution. Mr. Gustavson stated they are planning to do a new roof. Mr. Sbeglia stated it won’t look spectacular. Mr. O’Brien suggested softening the ends of the roof and suggested that a streetscape be provided so he can see how it affects the adjoining homes. Mr. Sbeglia suggested rethinking the roof. The Chairperson suggested making it lower than the peak of the reverse gable. Mr. Sbeglia suggested moving the addition to the center and Mr. Gustavson stated that was not proposed due to financial reasons. Mr. Gustavson sketched the change for the Board. Ms. Krug stated she is not ready to approve the application since the material list and color rendering are missing. Mr. Gustavson stated they are trying to reduce the expense of the project.

Mr. Russo further explained that they went to the Zoning Board of Appeals for overage on lot coverage. Mr. Sbeglia questioned the size of the second floor, and Mr. Russo stated that they needed to renovate in order to add another bedroom on the second floor since they are expecting another child. Mr. Sbeglia commented on the hip roof on the second floor. Mr. Russo stated that the second story is set back, and Mr. Sbeglia questioned why the one story has a hip roof and it was stated that it wraps around the side and dies into that side, so it looks good all around. Mr. Sbeglia stated the portico looks like a “safe room” and Mr. Russo referred to the rendering which shows that nothing is changing at the entrance; everything else will remain. The garage doors will be white, and the leaders will be white and come down on either side at the front. Mr. Sbeglia requested that next time the gutters and leaders be shown on the rendering and suggested using wraparound gutters with two returns. Mr. O’Brien referred to the right side of the garage where you will have to come across the hip roof, so you won’t even see the leader. Mr. Sbeglia suggested wrapping it around and run the gutter on the side and it will need two gutters at the front either way. The Chairperson questioned the lighting at the front entry way and the lighting will remain. The Application was APPROVED.

Mr. Sbeglia asked how many stores they have, and it was stated six stores with a cigar room. The Chairperson stated they could live with one of the two, but not both. The owner would rather have Smoke &Vape Indoor Humidor. Mr. Sbeglia stated he does not want to hurt the business and felt it is too busy. The Chairperson confirmed that no sign is permitted on 7th Street and the wording “walk in humidor” can be included on the signage, not Garden City.

The Chairperson suggested leaving the façade the same color or possibly a dark gray and mentioned that the sign is okay in black. Mr. Bauer has a problem with the advertisement on the sign. It was stated that the logo is permitted on the awning itself. The Chairperson reiterated that no logo is permitted on the glass, to place the logo on either side of the awning instead, and the sign is approved. The Board also suggested choosing the paint color for the façade (same color as the rear and submit it to the Building Dept, for approval. Mr. Pantano questioned why Chico’s has vinyl letters and it was stated they are temporary until the store opens.

They would like to install solar panels and install a canopy with the solar panels above which will reduce the penetration on the roof and they feel it is a good investment. They have two ideas- one is to raise the parapet for an open grilled screen, so it is not visible from the street. It will also bring out the more horizontal lines of the building.

Mr. Capece confirmed that will reduce penetrations and produce more solar power. In terms of zoning height, they are only proposing 38’. The window shades are also being proposed and replacing all the windows, which is not being discussed tonight. The Board preferred the roof-mounted panels and mentioned that it changes the look of the building. Mr. Bauer suggested possibly dropping it down a bit. The steel columns look industrial and with the window shades it will dress up the building. The Board does not mind the solar panels since it is a commercial building on Old Country Road, especially since it looks like a canopy. The elevation and the framing in the front look cool and won’t be visible from the street. Mr. Sbeglia stated in the context presented he likes the solar panels. Ms. Krug inquired as to the proposed plant material, and it was stated they are doing a parking lot renovation which is not finalized as yet. The Board was in favor of the elevation with the screen mesh as shown on Schematic 1. The applicant inquired if the solar panels can be brought to the edge of the building instead of just the center. Mr. Sbeglia suggested adding one more row of panels not quite to the edge. He stated you can cantilever it with the panels over a bit, possibly one more row. The Board felt that the proposed aluminum sunshade is nice, and they are prefabricated and suggested selecting one to match the building. It was stated that the building will be painted, and the Board requested that they return with everything when the drawings are complete. The Board also suggested showing a plan with the panels to the edge and stated that the look adds to the building’s overall appearance. The Board suggested returning to the Board when the plans are finalized. Next Meeting: November 28, 2023 Addendum to #10- 679 Franklin Avenue – Approved as presented electronically.
