Nester, RLA JMC Site Plan Submission Letter 2026-2-26 February 26, 2026 Chairman Robert Goodman and Members of the Village Planning Board Village of Rye Brook Building Inspector 938 King Street Rye Brook, New York 10573 RE: JMC Project 22042 900 King Street Redevelopment Sunrise Rye Brook 900 King Street Village of Rye Brook, NY Minor Site Plan Adjustments Dear Chairman Goodman and Members of the Planning Board: On behalf of Sunrise Development Inc., we are pleased to provide the following information and drawings in support of minor Building and Site Plan adjustments to the approved Sunrise project. It is our opinion that the below minor adjustments do not affect the overall site plan and are being considered to provide a more cohesive and cost-effective project. The enclosed information is as follows: A. HKS Approved Drawings: Dwg. # Title Date Architectural Site Plan 02/04/2026 ARB 1.01 “Architectural Item 1” 02/04/2026 ARB 1.02 “Architectural Item 2” 02/04/2026 ARB 1.03 “Architectural Item 3” 02/04/2026 ARB 1.04 “Architectural Items 4 and 5” 02/04/2026 B. JMC Adjusted Site Plans: Dwg. # Title Date C1.10 A “Adjusted Layout and Striping Plan” 02/26/2026 C1.10 B “Adjusted Townhouse Layout Comparison Plan” 02/26/2026 C1.10 C “Adjusted Back of House Layout Comparison Plan” 02/26/2026 C1.11 A “Adjusted On-Site Fire Protection Plan” 02/26/2026 C1.12A "Adjusted Fire Truck, Emergency Vehicle & Truck Turning Plan" 02/26/2026 C2.10 A “Adjusted Grading Plan” 02/26/2026 C3.10 A “Adjusted Utilities Plan” 02/26/2026 2 As mentioned above, below please find a summary of the minor adjustments being requested and why they are necessary for the project: The below items are minor adjustments to the building’s Architecture: A1. The highlighted "porch" areas at the ground level office space and resident activity room have been converted to interior space. The window unit is the same as previously approved by the ARB, and is moved to the new exterior wall location. Overall the look of the entry façade remains the same style and proportion. The reason for this change is office and resident activity space required extra square footage to operate properly. Also, two (2) new windows were introduced to the building's exterior wall behind the porte cochere roof. The reason for these windows being placed there is because there are two (2) dwelling units at that location which require the windows. A2. At the Independent Living North courtyard, an exterior roof awning has been located over a sitting area, which serves to protect exterior lounge and dining areas from the elements, extend the useability of this exterior seating area for longer periods of time during the year, and offer more varied dining and amenity experiences for residents. The roof awning will be sloped and match the composite shingles of the other sloped roof areas of the building. A3. At the Assisted Living North courtyard, an exterior roof awning has been located over a sitting area, which serves to protect exterior lounge and dining areas from the elements, extend the useability of this exterior seating area for longer periods of time during the year, and offer more varied dining and amenity experiences for residents. The roof awning will be sloped and match the composite shingles of the other sloped roof areas of the building. Note: This canopy was already included in the ARB approved plans but was missing on the ARB exterior elevation drawings. A4. At the building exterior elevations for Assisted Living building only, louvers of the Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner units underneath the windows have been added to the AL building elevations. This louver will be mulled as part of the window unit by the window manufacturer and the HVAC manufacturer to make the grill match the color and size of the windows and look similar, as shown in the provided photo from another Sunrise Assisted Living project. A5. Solid wall guards of balconies at the upper levels have been revised to aluminum picket guardrails matching the levels below at both the IL and AL buildings. The aluminum pickets guardrails have previously been approved by ARB. The reason for the revision is to provide more light and openness for the units with balconies on the upper level(s) and provide better views for the residents of these units. 3 Some minor adjustments are being requested to the Current Approved Site Plans. Below are those adjustments and why they are being proposed: B1. Please refer to DWG # C1.10A - Townhouses are proposed to be shifted slightly from the original footprint, a portion of the loop road and sidewalk adjacent to the townhouses have been shifted, as well as some minor shifts in the walking path to the west and east of the townhouses. No Townhouse has been moved closer to the adjacent Arbor’s development, or has any Townhouse height been raised. These adjustments are being made due to grading constraints and to better provide continuity between the townhouses, the ring road and the IL/AL building. This adjustment creates a more harmonious relationship between the townhouses, ring road and the IL/AL building. These revisions are illustrated on the Layout Drawing C1.10A. B2. Please refer to DWG # C2.10 A – The grading in the townhouse area has been revised to reduce the overall elevation comparison to the ring road. As a result of this overall reduction in elevation there will be a net decrease of ±5 lf of walls up to 8 feet high and a net increase of ±273 lf of retaining walls up to 4 feet high. The bulk of the additional wall construction will occur in the areas to the rear of Units 5 through 14 in order to avoid causing any additional impacts in the 100 foot wetland “A” setback area. This action results in a decrease in the difference in elevation between the ring road and Units 17 through 20. B3. Please refer to DWG # C3.10A The sanitary sewer main was re-routed through the Townhouse road instead of the main ring road. This change was made to eliminate multiple branches of piping and to provide better separation from the townhouses along the ring road and the subsurface stormwater management system. The new sewer main is drawn as a solid red line. The old sewer main is drawn as a dashed red line overlayed on the modified plan. These changes are illustrated on the Utility Drawing C3.10A. B4. Please refer to DWG # C3.10A - The Storm system was adjusted due to lowering of the garage level by 2 feet. The lowering of the garage is required to maintain and provide proper clearances within the garage level. Trench drains were added at the front and rear ramp entrances of the garage to pick up the flow directed toward the garage entrances. Since the garage elevation was lowered 2 feet, the small amount of run-off from the ramps will be conveyed through an oil water separator then the “By Pass” line, to reduce any potential for flooding at the garage level. This modified storm line through the garage and oil water separator has been highlighted in green on the Utility Drawing C3.10A. B5. Please refer to DWG # C1.10C The Back of House area is being adjusted to improve the functionality and operation of the space and to enhance greenery to the area. The emergency stand-by generators are proposed to be located on the north side of the ring road against the property line for sound attenuation and screening from the residents. The Trash enclosure has been relocated for operational 4 functionality and truck maneuvering. These revisions are illustrated on the Layout Drawing C1.10A. B6. Please refer to DWG # C1.10C - The parking lot next to the AL Garden area has been eliminated. The parking lot area is now being used for the truck maneuvering turnaround DWG # C1.12A and land bank parking. The parking spaces have been reallocated to the area that was used for land bank parking on the ring road adjacent and North to the Back of house driveway entrance. The reallocated land bank parking has been grouped together south of the Back of house driveway entrance. The Back of house changes result in a net decrease in impervious coverage by-576 sf. creating more open green space at the Back of house for the residents. This decrease offsets the increase of 382 sf. for the proposed revised Townhouse modifications. Overall Decrease in Impervious of 194 sf. These revisions are illustrated on the Layout Drawing C1.10A. Impervious coverage figures have been attached to demonstrate that the impervious coverage decrease at the Back of house has negated an impervious increase at the Townhomes. These calculations are illustrated in the figures listed below. Impervious Calculation Figure worksheets: TH-1 “Townhouse Current Impervious Figure” TH-2 “Townhouse Adjusted Impervious Figure” BOH-1 “Back of House Current Impervious Figure” BOH-2 “Back of House Adjusted Impervious Figure” BOH-3 “Adjusted Wetland Buffer Disturbance Comparison Plan” We trust that the minor adjustments described above are considered minimal in scope and do not affect the overall site plan. We look forward to reviewing these minor changes with the Planning Board at the March 12th, Planning Board meeting.
