Orangetown board grants conditional final approval for Wyman Fisher Funeral Home addition
Summary
The Planning Board approved final site-plan authorization for an addition to the Wyman Fisher Funeral Home with conditions, following consultant reviews that found stormwater impacts could be mitigated subject to specified project comments; updated plans and required notes must be submitted.
The Orangetown Planning Board on June 11 approved final site-plan action, with conditions, for an addition at the Wyman Fisher Funeral Home (PB25-45).
Applicant David Fisher described a west-side addition and roof-raising; the project previously went to the zoning board and architect review board. Consultant submissions read into the record included a drainage recommendation from Kier Engineering and comments from the Bureau of Fire Prevention, the Department of Environmental Management (Town of Orangetown), Rome Professional Engineering and Rockland County Planning. Kier Engineering and the Bureau of Fire Prevention indicated that increased stormwater runoff "can be successfully mitigated for this project" and recommended the site plan be approved for drainage subject to project comments.
Board members asked that the plans be updated to show required notes and that a narrative (the short form) be included in the submittal; the board then moved, seconded and approved final approval with conditions. A board member summarized the conditions and consultant letters to be addressed and wished the applicant luck with construction.
Why it matters: the project involves modifications to a long-standing community-use facility and required coordination with county and town reviewers. The conditional approval ties final sign-off to the applicant’s submission of updated plans and compliance with the consultant comments read into the record.
Next steps: the applicant must submit revised plans and the required notes called for in the conditions to the Office of Building, Zoning and Planning and other reviewers as directed; the board’s approval is subject to satisfying those conditions.
