Mount Kisco ARB reviews conceptual three‑story self‑storage plan, asks for screening and rooftop equipment mitigation
Summary
The board reviewed conceptual plans for a three-story self-storage building at 2 Morgan Drive and requested tree screening along Lexington Avenue, screening of roughly 4-foot rooftop HVAC units if visible, and consideration of the 6-foot grade difference at the loading-dock side relative to an adjacent lot that may be developed.
The Mount Kisco Architectural Review Board reviewed conceptual plans on June 20, 2024, for a proposed three‑story self-storage facility at 2 Morgan Drive.
Louis Vandeloecht of GMA Architects presented architectural plans, elevations and colored renderings of the proposed building. The board suggested tree screening between Lexington Avenue and the building to reduce visibility from the street. Members also raised concern about rooftop mechanical equipment: Vandeloecht said the rooftop HVAC units are roughly 4 feet high and offered to provide screening if the units remain visible from Lexington Avenue.
The board expressed additional concern about the loading-dock elevation, which the minutes describe as about 6 feet higher than an adjacent empty lot; members asked that the design take potential future residential development on the neighboring lot into consideration when addressing screening and facade treatments.
This item was a conceptual review; the minutes record board comments and requests for screening and did not note a vote or formal action. The applicant will likely return with revised drawings that address screening and rooftop equipment visibility.
