Planning Board Meeting, December 16, 1999 �Resolution of Recommendation From the Village of Sleepy Hollow Planning Board to The Village of Sleepy Hollow Board of Trustees WHEREAS, the Village of Sleepy Hollow Board of Trustees (the Village Board) has proposed to rezone a portion of the Village from R-3 One Family Residence/Moderate Density to R-l One Family Residence/Open Development; and WHEREAS, the Village Board has specified that the proposed rezoning would affect properties situated east of the Old Croton Aqueduct in the vicinity of Bedford Road, Weber Avenue, Fairview Avenue and High Street in the Village of Sleepy Hollow; and WHEREAS, the Village Board has referred this matter to the Village of Sleepy Hollow Planning Board (the Planning Board) for their review and recommendation consistent with Section 62-53.B. of the Village Zoning Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Board, at its December 6,1999 work session and at its regularly scheduled meeting of December 16, 1999, did review in detail the proposed rezoning including a Full Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) prepared by Saccardi & Schiff, Inc., Village Planning Consultants. The EAF indicated that the proposed rezoning would reduce potential density from 285±to33±lots;and WHEREAS, at the December 16,1999 meeting the Planning Board did review correspondence from the Village Planning Consultant. Such correspondence outlined different options including rezoning the properties to R-l and applying the existing zoning standards, or rezoning the properties to R-l and applying the clustering provisions as allowed under New York State Village Law; and NOW THERE FOR BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Board offers the following comments and recommendations for the Village Board's consideration: 1. The proposed rezoning is consistent with both the adjacent R-l District in the Village of Sleepy Hollow and the R-40 (40,000 square foot minimum lot size) and R-30 (30,000 square foot minimum lot size) in the neighboring Village of Tarrytown; 2. Many of the proposed parcels to be rezoned have steep slopes which present potential development related constraints. The proposed rezoning would reduce the density, and thus, potentially reduce the extent of impacts anticipated on steep slope areas; 3. The Planning Board is concerned about potential traffic impacts on the surrounding road system. The reduction in density leads to a related reduction in anticipated traffic impacts. Based on Institute of Transportation Engineer Standards, it is anticipated that peak hour trips would be reduced from 290± trips per hour under R-3 potential full build-out, to34± trips 1 �per hour under potential R-l full build out; 4. The parcels proposed to be rezoned are adjacent to a Westchester County designated Critical Environmental Area (Old Croton Aqueduct, Rockefeller State Preserve). Rezoning reduces the potential for overall disturbance, see note 2 above, and reduces the maximum lot coverage; 15 percent coverage for R-l compared to 30 percent coverage for R-3. Less impervious surface area reduces potential runoff and its associated impacts; 5. The reduced density allows for the preservation of additional open space. The Village's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program identifies this area as being within the Upper Village Scenic Subunit and the Sleepy Hollow Scenic Subunit. Less density, coupled with a sensitive design approach, will reduce the potential visual impact within these viewsheds; and, be it further RESOLVED, that the Planning Board recommends that the Village Board authorize the Planning Board to use the clustering provisions provided under Section 7-738 of the New York State Village Law for future development proposals in this area; and, be it further RESOLVED, that the Planning Board recommends that, where appropriate, the Village Board coordinate with the neighboring Village of Tarrytown with respect to this action; and, be it further RESOLVED, that the Planning Board recommends that those existing properties located north of County House Road and north of the proposed rezoning, given their existing expanse and open space character, be considered for a minimum lot size in excess of one acre, preferably four acres minimum lot size with clustering as provided under New York State Village Law; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Planning Board does positively recommend, in consideration with the comments contained herein, that the Village Board consider all available methods which would allow for a reduced density and sensitive design treatment utilizing the clustering provisions allowed under New York State Village Law. n David Perlmutter, Acting GMairman Village of Sleepy Hollow Planning Board Date \\Ntserver4.0\M-720VResolutions\R-3 Recommendation-rezoning - M-720.11. 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On motion of Ed Napoleon, seconded by 3etsy Sawyer Gaylin, the Board unanimously approved the subdivision resolution. 2. The Board considered the application of Danfor Realty Co. for a change in the lot line of 54 Fremont Roa j , in Sleepy Hollow Manor, Sleepy Hollow, set forth on a survey by Charles Riley dated May 2S, 1998. Andrew J. Fiore addressed the Board, joined by Neil Whitehouse, the current owne of parcel A on the survey. The lot line would add parcel B on the site plan to parcel A, and thereby reduce the acreage of parcel C on the site plan. Mr. Fiore noted that the NYS Depam lent of Transportation had sent a letter indicating that it would entertain a curb curt application on Route 9, and that the parcel C had frontage on Route 9 and access on Fremont Drive. The Village Planner advised that the lot line adjustment was a Type II action under the NYS Environmental Quality Review Act, and it was noted that there was 40 feet alone Fremont Road, which would be adequate for a driveway. The Village attorney noted that the lot line change would be without prejudice to all legal requirements for eventual development of parcel C and that the development of a single-family home on lot C would have to proceed on the basis of the necciscry applications. The Planner and Mr. Napoleon asked that the survey include a legends setting forth the final acreage of parcels A and C, resultingfromthe lot line change. Mr. Whitehou e concurred in the application.

This was a continuation from the February meeting. There were changes made to the proposal as follows: On page 1, the second "Whereas" paragraph should be changed to: "Whereas, the Planning Board did meet with the applicant and the owner of the adjacent lot, Mr. Whitehouse; and" On page 2, the 4th "Resolved" paragraph should read: "The granting of the referenced change in lot line is made with the understanding of applicant and Mr. Whitehouse that both the Planning Board and the Building Inspector may review their determination at any future application for development of the undeveloped portion of the site." The last "Resolved" paragraph should be modified at the end as follows: "; and be it further". Mr. Cicchetti inquired if there were any more changes and did they re-draw the lot lines. Discussion was then opened to the public. An audience member asked if that meant that someone could build on that site. He was advised that the owner had adjusted the lot lines so that only one house could be built on that site. The entrance to that property would have to be from Fremont Road. Currently, 3 houses could be built on that lot but with the change in lot lines, only 1 house could be built there. This is at the request of the current owner and the owner of the adjacent lot. Ed Napoleon made a motion to approve. David Perlmutter seconded. The motion was carried unanimously. Planning Board Meeting, March 18, 1999 �2 DeFalco Retaining Wall. (Continued) Mike Stilochi.

The dry well has been moved away from the house and graded to keep water awayfromthe foundation of the house. A 5 foot high fence by the retaining wall and they are to appear before the Architectural Review Board next week. There was some discussion concerning the height of the fence on the retaining wall and the change in the elevation of the property. According to the owner the maximum height of the wall would be 8 feet. The discussion was opened to the public. No further comments were made. David Perlmutter moved to make a negative sequa declaration, seconded by Ed Napoleon. The motion was carried unanimously. A resolution will be prepared approving the plan at the next meeting after presentation to the Architectural Review Board. Nextel Communication Tower. Public hearing. Presentation made by Robert Godioso, Esq.; Snyder & Snyder. Initial approval was given in 1988 for a communication site located on the grounds of Phelps Memorial Hospital (PMH). Nextel is proposing to erect 12 antennas and a 200 sqft storage unit. This is considered a local issue with no county issues pending. There is one minor modification to the site plan, showing the footings for the storage shelter going below thefrostline. Presentation by Mr. Godioso: This is an application to have another communication array near PMH for wireless communications. These antennas will be located 86' above ground level, but below the other antennas already on site. This is a co-location as required by current zoning code. The shelter will be covered in a composite material designed to blend in with the surroundings. Public comments: Sean Herpentz asked how long this communications array had been planned and was informed that there was no lease agreement prior to late 1988. He was also curious as to how much was being paid, which information was unknown. The Chair asked Snyder and Snyder if there were plans for any further applications to expand this site and was told there were no applications pending. Planning Board Meeting, March 18,1999 �In response to Mr. Herpentz question, the Chair informed him that balloon tests had been run to judge the visual impact and several people had been present. All those present were satisfied that the view would not be unduly obstructed. Mr. Herpentz was also concerned about the application, as the first tower application had been presented as a "one-off' proposition. Mr. Godioso pointed out that that was before the zoning code required colocation of communications towers. Robert Weiss of 2 Terrace Close pointed out that the balloon tests that were done previously were done while the trees were still in full leaf and no one had had the opportunity to see the view without the trees in full leaf. There was some discussion of going back to do another site inspection. According to Mr. Cicchetti, the pictures that were taken originally show that the balloon was visible only from Route 117. The Chair pointed out that there would be less of an impact because the poles will be lower down than the existing structure. Mr. Herpentz expressed his concern over future applications. According to the engineer, some places have gone to the extent of putting branches on the antennas in order to help them blend into the natural scenery. According to Robert Godioso those are actually designed for that purpose and these antennas could not be "retrofitted" for that purpose. He further pointed out that the antennas have to go above the tree line in order to work properly. In this case the trees are almost the same height as the antennas. Public comments were closed. A motion was made by David Perlmutter to make a negative Sequa declaration, that this is an unlisted action, seconded by Ed Napoleon. Nick Cicchetti asked if the 86' height is the maximum height or would that extend the height of the original antenna, and was advised that they will not extend the height of the original antenna. Mr. Cicchetti also suggested the possibility of a new balloon test before the trees leaf out, as the public seems to have legitimate concerns. It was pointed out that there would be no lighting of the structure or fencing. Any resolutions entered will stipulate that there will be no lighting of the structures. The color, hydroblue, was chosen for its low impact. The Chair pointed out that the Village has made a determination that this is where the communication antennas will go, and that a balloon test was already done. Pictures of the previous test were shown to the Board and to the public. A decision was made by the Board to further discuss the negative impact at a public hearing next month. There was discussion of approving the application with the same Planning Board Meeting, March 18, 1999 �4 conditions as previously with the additional provision that no lighting will be permitted on the structure and they will camouflage the building to blend in. There will also be a fence around this section to be connected to the previously erected fence. To be continued next month. Phillipse Manor Restoration dredging of mill pond. A full environmental assessment form, wetlands survey and full application has been submitted. Presenting are Jeff Carter, Historic Hudson Valley; Steve Huskey, engineer. A brief presentation was made concerning the dredging of both the upper and lower mill ponds, over a period of 3 years, to restore the site to DEC standards. An offsite property is being looked at for deposit of the silt. None of the construction aspects have been changed, only the dredging strategy. The Chair asked what was the effectiveness of the dredgingfromthe lower pond, since there is such a heavy silt load coming infromthe river, but notfromabove. Steve Huskey pointed out that when the tide is low people can see "stuff* in the lower pond and that needs to be cleared up. Mr. Cicchetti said that the tree commission had met with HHV recently and a large number of trees would be cut down. HHV will resubmit that so that the trees will remain along the steep slope where the silt will be deposited. The trees will not be taken down ahead of time so any plans submitted will be changed to reflect that. The Chair stated that the Tree Commission will make that a requirement. Ed Napoleon wanted to know how long the dewatering will take, since offsite removal will not be a part of the original plan. Continue the public hearing next month at the top of the agenda and with a new administration in office. In addition, new certified mailings will be made in order to have the public informed. Also there will be an analysis of the aquatic animal species submitted before the next public hearing, complete with a literature review and a consultation with a qualified naturalist concerning the impact of the dredging on the native species. Adjourn to next public hearing. Planning Board Meeting, March 18,1999 �4 recommend that the Board consider rezoning the parcels owned by the School Board. This is also the area of the watershed for Andre Brook - less density will cause less of a negative impact on the Andre Brook. A motion was made by Ed Napoleon, seconded by Ms. Gaylin for a resolution to have Mr. Schiffdraw up the recommendations for presentation to the Village Board recommending the rezoning of the Wilson Park property from R-3 to R-l. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Napoleon then brought up the issue of curbing at the Rodrigues building on Route 9, and that the Board had requested that granite curbing be used, and not just concrete. It was decided that an inquiry would be made not just by the Building Inspector, but by another inspector as well. The following corrections were made to the March minutes: Also present: David Schiff Page 2, #3, second paragraph. The initial approval of the plan was made in 1998. Page 3, second paragraph, Richard Weiss. Last page, the applicant is Historic Hudson Valley; SEQRA misspelled. Regarding the Nextel tower application, Mr. Perlmutter had stated to the applicant that the Planning Board would not look favorably upon the applicant returning in the future with another lawyer and another applicaiton for another tower. If any further towers are to be installed, the support building will added to the existing building or put underground. Mr. Perlmutter made a motion, seconded by Mr. Napoleon, to approve the March minutes as revised. The motion passed unanimously. A work session for the waterfront planning has been scheduled for June. Mr. Napoleon made a motion, seconded by Benito Martinez, to adjourn the meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

David Perlmutter mvoed that the Planning Board be declared lead agency, seconded by Nicholas Cicchetti. The motion passed unanimously. Planning Board Minutes May 20, 1999 �2 A statement was made by applicant that they have addressed each letter and issue as it has presented itself, and they are in the process of responding to a letter from Parks and Recreation and their concerns. David Schiff stated that this is considered a Type 1 action as this property is considered a critical environmental area. This does not necessarily mean that a foil EPA statement is required. The documentation previously submitted must be evaluated, given the types of impact and no negative public comments, the letters received from other agencies and a letter from the DEC of April 26, they have no objection to the preparation of a negative declaration statement. Discussion ensued as to the preparation of one comprehensive application including the environmental assessment form relative to potential impacts and all environmental reports and some of the concerns listed by the parks department and DEC. These documents then will be submitted once again to the Board for further comments, or going through the strict process of preparing a full EAF, public comments, etc. Upon receipt of the completed application and review of same by the Board, a negative declaration or conditional negative declaration may be made depending on the review of that documentation. The Chair advised the applicant that, under SEQRA, they need a packet of the proposal, the reports they have received, the long form EAF, and a report from a qualified biologist as to the impact on the marine life, along with enough supporting materials that there are no negative impacts, including any archaelogical impacts, and an indication that they are in the process of getting all the necessary permits. If it's ready for June, the Board can hear it at that time. There was a concensus of the Board to receive the environmental documentation. The public hearing was adjourned to next month. 2. JCI Apartments - Clinton St. and Beekman Ave. The public hearing was declared open. Notices were sent out and return receipts collected and filed with the Building Inspector. Sam Viera, architect, stated that no engineer reports have been submitted yet, and some members of the Board had previously requested a site plan. Presentation of the site plan was made by Mr. Viera. In particular, the issue of handicap accessibility was addressed, with the discussion focusing on the use of a ramp or a lift to service the two units designed for handicap accessibility. Mr. Viera requested the Board's opinion on ramp vs. lift. Planning Board Minutes May 20, 1999 �3 Mr. Cicchetti asked about the code regarding elevators. Mr. Viera said he would check into code requirements for the lift, from a six family housing project vs. a large commercial building. Handicap adaptability is also a consideration with all electrical and hydrolic systems in place until such time as a resident would require a lift be installed. A rendering of plan with lift was requested which Mr. Viera will supply at the next public hearing, along with the engineering reports. Mr. Viera will prepare an elevation drawing with the lift and will continue the engineering process for next month. Mr. Viera was requested to bring the return receipt cards for the next public hearing. Mr. Perlmutter moved the declare the Planning Board as lead agency on this project, seconded by Betsy Sawyer Gaylin. The motion passed unanimously. The public hearing was adjourned until June. 3. Re-zoning of Wilson Park Property. David Schiff reported on this issue. The Board of Trustees is proposing a rezoning of this area from R-3 to R-l, which would be considered a Type 1 action as part of the property abuts the Tarrytown Lakes area. A full EAF must be prepared. The Village Board is requesting that the Planning Board provide them with their recommendations under Section 62-25(B)(3) of the Zoning Code, which recommendations are required by June 15, 1999. By rezoning this will reduce the density to approximately 9 lots. We believe that title to the property has already transferred. Discussion ensued. 1. This would be a density similar to Tarrytown's zoning for that area. 2. Less density will ameliorate the potential traffic problems. 3. The slope in this area does not lend itself to a greater density. 4. The school district's property adjacent should also be rezoned to R-l 5. Give rationale for one side of Bedford Road to be zoned R-3 and the other side R-l. Municipal consistency; steep slope making development of a lesser density more desirable; the traffic is already heavy; protecting the area; less density; and Planning Board Minutes May 20, 1999 �4 recommend that the Board consider rezoning the parcels owned by the School Board. This is also the area of the watershed for Andre Brook - less density will cause less of a negative impact on the Andre Brook. A motion was made by Ed Napoleon, seconded by Ms. Gaylin for a resolution to have Mr. Schiff draw up the recommendations for presentation to the Village Board recommending the rezoning of the Wilson Park property from R-3 to R-l. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Napoleon then brought up the issue of curbing at the Rodrigues building on Route 9, and that the Board had requested that granite curbing be used, and not just concrete. It was decided that an inquiry would be made not just by the Building Inspector, but by another inspector as well. The following corrections were made to the March minutes: Also present: David Schiff Page 2, #3, second paragraph. The initial approval of the plan was made in 1998. Page 3, second paragraph, Richard Weiss. Last page, the applicant is Historic Hudson Valley; SEQRA misspelled. Regarding the Nextel tower application, Mr. Perlmutter had stated to the applicant that the Planning Board would not look favorably upon the applicant returning in the future with another lawyer and another applicaiton for another tower. If any further towers are to be installed, the support building will added to the existing building or put underground. Mr. Perlmutter made a motion, seconded by Mr. Napoleon, to approve the March minutes as revised. The motion passed unanimously. A work session for the waterfront planning has been scheduled for June. Mr. Napoleon made a. motion, seconded by Benito Martinez, to adjourn the meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

He also stated that NEXTEL was very thorough during their application's presentation to the Board. Nicholas Cicchetti stated that the Board would not be happy with extending the height of the pole. Mr. Seaburt stated that service was needed in this area without constructing a separate tower structure. Nicholas Cicchetti stated that a little more creativity was needed. He also stated that OCI needs to come up with another alternative with 80' height. Mr. Seaburt stated that there would be a drop in RF performance. Nicholas Cicchetti inquired why would OCI propose this method. Mr. Seaburt stated that they needed to show other alternatives.

George Tanner stated that OCI could redirect 9002 and 0023D to cover the areas that were mostly effected if the Board would approve 80' not 122'. The applicant stated that trees were in the way. George Tanner stated that the design is to hide it. He also stated that he was concerned with the visual impact on the community. Nicholas Cicchetti stated that there could be a problem transmitting because OCI can choose the wrong point. The applicant responded that this was the only point. George Tanner stated that if you move a little further there are many points that are higher. The applicant stated that it would be very difficult to install the monopole in a State park.

George Tanner inquired if OCI placed another tower next to the 80' tower at 100' would this satisfy their goals. Mr. Seaburt responded that he didn't know. Dave Smith stated that OCI should review the NEXTEL application since it was so detailed. Nicholas Cicchetti inquired if OCI was planning to re-route any trees. Mr. Seaburt responded only as shown in the application. Dave Smith stated that the Chair (not present) had two comments: 1) Who owns the monopole? This was unclear after three applications.

George Tanner inquired if the pole becomes obsolete, will OCI remove their equipment. 2) Do you need a letter from Phelps Memorial on its impact on the hospital? Mr. Seaburt responded that they have a safety analysis. Dave Smith inquired if OCI has thought of using hospital facilities. Some of the buildings at Phelps Memorial are comparable in height to the tower. The applicant responded that trees blocked them. Don Pennella stated that they need a new proposal.

This reflected some of the comments made by the Village Board. The Village Board re-zoned the property from R3 to Rl. Dave Smith stated that some of the issues that the Village Board did not want to have modified were the building height, floor area ratio, gross development coverage of the lot and the lot size.

An item has been raised from the memo: expansion the open space components on the plan, which include: 1) The oversized lot indicated on the plans. This could accommodate some of the open space concerns. 2) The other lots along County House Road. It has a rustic feel that the Village wants to retain. The applicant responded that they would be expanding the amount of vegetation on County House Road. Nicholas Cicchetti stated that tree conservation should be taken into consideration. The landscape plan should be combined with tree preservation. All trees should be labeled on the map. This would assist the tree commission to evaluate the type of trees to be removed and those that should remain. The applicant stated that there is possibly 20% open space. Dave Smith referred to an earlier memo concerning roads and driveways. The Board wants to try to stay away from over-paving.

The applicant responded that they are unable to appear before the Board due to the moratorium. Tom Julius (applicant) stated that currently it was undetermined how the parcels would be worked on. Each parcel can stand-alone. One or more parcels can be done at the same time. George Tanner inquired if the road between 1 & 6 is an existing private road. The applicant responded yes. Dave Smith stated that the cul-de-sac on the new plan would eliminate two curb cuts. There is one curb cut needed on Bedford Road and the existing curb cut on County House Road would be utilized.

George Tanner stated that the people on Wilson Park Drive use the road frequently.
