Mount Kisco ARB asks for more detail on Suburban Floors relocation at 221–223 Lexington Ave.
Summary
The Board reviewed plans to relocate Suburban Floors to Lexington Avenue but deferred action, requesting 3-D models, window and material details, signage samples, lighting and dumpster enclosure drawings, and confirmation of Planning Board and DEP approvals before returning the case.
The Architectural Review Board reviewed plans Feb. 19 for Suburban Floors to relocate to 221–223 Lexington Avenue but did not grant final approval, instead asking the applicants to return with more detailed information.
Architect Dan Simone described demolition of greenhouses, a one-story addition and a rear warehouse, conversion of the first-floor space to a showroom and retention of a second-floor one-bedroom apartment. Simone said the project is in Planning Board review and awaiting stormwater and Department of Environmental Protection sign-offs.
Board members flagged several areas needing further detail before ARB approval: three-dimensional drawings or SketchUp models to show roof intersections and how volumes interlock; window profiles and proportions to ensure continuity between existing wood windows and proposed Anderson commercial-grade windows; a clearer treatment plan for transitions between existing shingles and new Hardie shingle or Hardie plank; color options and treatment for a large garage door so it does not dominate the façade; precise lighting locations and fixtures; and a decorative dumpster enclosure that matches the building facade. The Board also discussed whether a monument sign or awning would better suit the storefront and noted signage requires a separate application.
Chairman James MacDonald asked the applicants to return next month with 3-D imagery, material samples, fabric swatch for any awning, and details showing how much of the existing shingles will be replaced. The Board deferred action pending those materials and confirmation of outstanding Planning Board and DEP/stormwater approvals.
