Planning board refers Orienta Beach Club pool and clubhouse changes to coastal reviewers
Summary
The planning board accepted a presentation for renovations at Orienta Beach Club (1024 Rushmore), noted a small reduction in impervious coverage, and voted to treat the application as a Type II referral to Harbor/Coastal consultants (HCCM) for review.
The Village of Larchmont Planning Board on Sept. 10 reviewed proposed improvements at the Orienta Beach Club, 1024 Rushmore, and voted to refer the application to Harbor/Coastal consultant review as a Type II matter.
Attorney/agent Andrew Spatz and the project team described reconstruction of three pools, raising two pool decks (from 10.5 feet to 13 feet) to reduce elevation differences, replacement of pool equipment with a new enclosed equipment room, a proposed clubhouse addition listed in materials at roughly 1,000–1,100 square feet and a 440‑square‑foot pump/equipment room. The applicant said the latest submission reduces impervious coverage from 68.8% to 68.6% (a 0.2 percentage‑point reduction) compared with an earlier submittal.
Board members and consultants asked follow‑up questions about equipment noise levels (decibels), storage and ventilation for chlorine, compliance with dark‑sky lighting standards, and whether a SWIP submission or waiver language was needed. Civil engineer Mark Pilatiki and architect David Woods explained the new pump room will be fully enclosed and suggested manufacturer noise specs could be provided.
Following the presentation and consultant memos, Chair Seamus moved to classify the application as Type II and refer it to Harbor/Coastal consultants; Helen seconded and the motion passed 4–0. The applicant will receive consultant comments through the HCCM process and return with updates and required technical memos (including any needed SWIP adjustments) when those reviews are complete.
Next steps: applicant to provide decibel/manufacturer data on the new equipment, clarify any SWIP waiver language, and respond to consultant memos before the board schedules a fuller site review.
