The draft Scoping Outline has been revised to incorporate comment* raised at the public scoping session and during the formal comment period. Some of the comments contained herein reflect concerns raised by the Board. It ia important for the Board at this point in the process to be aware of the objectives of the scoping process. The scoping process has six main objectives: Identify the relevant environmental issues and provide the preparers with the specific issues to be addressed; Eliminate irrelevant issues and de-emphasize nonsignificant issues; Identity the extent and quality of information needed; Identify the range of reasonable alternatives to be diicusted; Identify potential areas of mitigation; and Identify available sources of information'.

She presented a memo that she prepared from the existing Architectural Review Board Ordinance, which specifically contains the Historic �Preservation content. She stated that although the Architectural Review Board provides for Historic Preservation, it does not have any real power of preserving the historical attributes of the community. The memo calls for a Historic Preservation Commission. Local government certification would allow the Village to receive grants for historic preservation activity. Also, the proposed Ordinance would have jurisdiction over Historic landmarks and scenic designations. Nicholas Robinson stated that the Village could stabilize many of the landscapes on the Rockefeller property. Nicholas Robinson stated that the main concern for the Planning Board is the historic landscape on the Rockefeller Property as well as protection for the property owners around the old GM plant. Nicholas Robinson stated that the Planning Board will meet with the Architectural Review Board to discuss. b) County House & Bedford Road, LLC. Nicholas Robinson discussed the resolution that was adopted at the December 16, 1999 Planning Board meeting. The expanded EAF would be circulated to a distribution list and made available to the public. At the Planning Board's February 17, 2000 meeting, final comments will be received. A public hearing will also take place on this date. The Planning Board and the applicant agreed that the public hearing should also include the sub-division hearing.

George Tanner made a motion to adopt the draft resolution. Ed McCarthy seconded. It was unanimous. Jim Margotta stated that the notice must be circulated to all properties within 200 feet. The Chair asked the applicant how they intended to handle the pond. The applicant responded that they are trying to work it out with the Village Engineers to do what is practical. As far as ownership was concerned, the applicant stated that they would like to establish a separate escrow account for the pond. Ed Lammers stated that 20 days notice is needed. Planning Board Meeting, January 20, 2000 �c) Philipsburg Manor This is a continuation of the public hearing on the dredging of the Philipsburg Manor pond. The applicant has been in contact with the DEC and Army Corps of Engineers. The restoration has two parts: 1) Restoring and getting it back to how it looked before. No permits are needed for this work. 2) Providing some protection against future occurrences. This was broken down into two parts. a) An overflow structure would be added. It would be about 12'x8' that would be 1'2' above the existing water level. b) In addition, a sub-surface diversion wall would also be added. This would divert any high floods. They stated these methods would provide flood relief in a controlled manner. The Chair stated that this didn't require any actions by the Planning Board. The Chair stated that the applicant needed approval by the Planning Board of the revision of the EAF and a conclusion that the Planning Board adopts the resolution approving the nrr»ir»rt i J Dave Smith stated that the applicant needed to circulate the proposals for comment with the DEC, Parks & Recreation, County, Army Corps of Engineers and State.

The applicant displayed a drawing that displayed the wetlands. They discussed replacing the wetlands at another site. The Chair stated that the Planning Board needs an amended document for circulation to see if any comments come in and to hold a final public hearing. Once the Planning Board approves the resolution, other required approvals would be conditional for the applicant. d) Riverfront text changes The Chair stated that a meeting needs to be scheduled with the Waterfront Revitalization Committee since they are an advisory committee to the Planning Board. Planning Board Meeting, January 20, 2000 �There has been one discussion already on the Cooney property and the Waterfront Rcvitalization Committee was not involved. The Planning Board determined that the scale of the development was too dense. The entire discussion occurred without the Waterfront Revitalization Committee having any input. The Planning Board will reach out to the Waterfront Revitalization Committee to get them involved. Dave Smith stated that the density on the Cooney property should not be applied to the GM property. There should be a very dense residential portion. The Chair stated that there should be a recommendation to the Village Board to adopt the changes. David Perlmutter made a motion to adopt. George Tanner seconded. It was approved unanimously. e) Review and Recreation fees Review fees The Chair stated that the current level of $2500 is too low.

The Board discussed the need for different fees for different sized projects. The Board agreed that a graduated scale is needed. It was decided that a proposal would be developed at the next meeting and the results would be brought to the Village Board for approval. Recreation fees The Village's recreation fees were compared to other similar areas such as Briarcliff Manor and Rye Brook. The recreation fees for these areas were much higher than Sleepy Hollow's. The Chair stated that the recreation fees need to be brought up to match these comparable areas. Recommendations will be made to the Village Board. Jim Margotta stated that plumbing fees, electrical fees, etc need to be brought up as well. The Chair stated that a list would be generated of all fees.

Omnipoint County House Road Public Hearing Village Historian Minutes from last meeting George Tanner made a motion to accept the revised agenda. Ed Napoleon seconded. It was unanimous. a) Philipsburg Manor The Chair stated that the Board was ready to circulate the revised EAF documents to the interested agencies. The Board feels that they will approve these documents based on previous meetings with them. At the next meeting, the Board will approve the site plan and adopt a conditional negative declaration. The Board will decide based on the applicant obtaining all permits necessary. �2 David Perlmutter made a motion to recommend that the amendments of the expanded revised EAF should be circulated to the interested agencies. Ed Napoleon seconded. hi Omnipoint The Chair stated that the Board has circulated a notice of intent to declare itself lead agency. The Chair also stated that the Board has prepared a resolution based on what was previously noticed. The Chair read the resolution aloud. Jason Seaburt is the attorney representing Omnipoint. He stated that based on the comments from the December meeting, they have revised the application. The significant difference in the revised application is that the ground equipment at the monopole has been reconfigured and is now within the base of the monopole. The prior application sought a platform of 8x12. The current application indicates a platform of 8x10. No tree removal is needed. Jason Seaburt stated that the RF consultant, planning consultant, and project engineer are present to answer any questions that the Board has. The Chair stated that if no other municipality wanted to be lead agency then the Planning Board would proceed with the determination that they are the lead agency. The Board would then determine if the submissions satisfy the environmental concerns of the community and the Planning Board. If the submissions are not satisfactory, the Board will evaluate the submissions to a full Environmental Impact Assessment. Jason Seaburt stated that since the new structure will be higher than the current one, a referral to the Zoning Board of Appeals will be needed for an area variance. The Chair stated that the Planning Board will exhaust its jurisdiction before it makes the referral. Jason Seaburt stated that there is a visual EAF that accompanied the application package. They are prepared to conduct a balloon test so that the Board can see what this application entails and the Board can issue a Public Notice for the community to comment. The Chair stated that it would only address the matter that is in front of it tonight. George Tanner made a motion to adopt the notion of intent to become a lead agency. Ed McCarthy seconded. It was unanimous. The Chair stated that the Board has already indicated to Omnipoint that they were interested in how they would intend to make this monopole aesthetically pleasing similar to the towers on the Garden State Parkway. Omnipoint has failed to do this to date. Planning Board Meeting, February 17, 2000 �c) County House Road Public Hearing The Chair gave a brief description of the area under discussion. Dave Smith prepared a review memo based on the expanded EAF. It noted the following comments: 1) Cluster subdivision - asking the applicant to consider including some additional buffer area on Bedford Road. 2) Drainage - asking the applicant to consider a sump system along the cul-desac. 3) DPW Chief has raised the issue about accessing the storm water detention area. The letter asks the applicant to consider how that can be accomplished. Don Penella stated that they recommend expanding the entrances to lots 9, 10, and 11 from 16'. The applicant stated that the DOT standard is 16' for four or fewer lots. The Planning Board for Westchester County has submitted their comments. 1) Reducing the diameter of the cul-de-sac to reduce the amount of site disturbance. 2) Storm water treatment is not included for the new road off of Bedford Road. The Chair stated that the Village Board would accept the dedication of the road as a village aiad. The Village Board also agreed to the proposal of setting up a fund to pay for the retention basin maintenance. Geraldine rorimello spoke first for the applicant. She briefly discussed the methods that the applicant has taken to date and briefly discussed what they would be presenting to the public tonight. Bruce Lozito went through a general history of the project for the public. It included discussions on curb cuts, utilities, lot sizes, storm water management, etc. Jim Margotta inquired about the plantings around the house. How much was the applicant going to do and how much was the homeowner expected to do. The applicant stated that they have not determined that yet. The landscape buffer easement will be specified. George fanner asked if the storm water runoff on Bedford Road would disturb the natural topography. The applicant slated that they would probably put a drain line under the driveways. Planning Board Meeting, February 17, 2000 �4 George Tanner stated that it would be easier to include this now. The applicant stated that they would revise it. The Chair opened the public hearing. Ken Kopelman (209 Wilson Park Drive, Tarrytown, NY) spoke. He stated that the increased traffic that will result in the area would be a problem to the people in Wilson Park. He also stated that the area is also very scenic and open. Residents of the area enjoy the scenic views. He stated that this area should remain open. The Chair stated that the Planning Board has re-zoned the property from 60 to 11 homes. Lots are larger on this property than surrounding area. The Board required two things. First was low density and the second was cluster zoning. The Village Board approved this. The Chair also stated that the Planning Board discussed many of the concerns raised tonight in detail. Leonard Cohen (10 River Terrace, Tarrytown, NY) spoke. He commented on the word cluster and a cluster development. The Chair responded that it was cluster zoning not a cluster development. Dave Smith stated that the Planning Board could vary the standards. Leonard Cohen inquired if the developer planned to sell the lots or build homes. Tom Julius (applicant) stated that he was not sure. Ken Kopelman (209 Wilson Park Drive, Tarrytown, NY) spoke again. He inquired what was the involvement as members of the public. The Chair stated that tonight is a public hearing on the subdivision of the property. The Chair stated that the Planning Board is at the end of the reviews that will involve them. Brian Kelly (182 Wilson Park Drive, Tarrytown, NY) spoke. He inquired if the Planning Board ever considered not developing the site. The Chair stated yes. Brian Kelly also stated that this is only 175th of the overall property that this applicant owns. He also stated that a survey was taken, and the results indicated preserving the property. Planning Board Meeting, February 17, 2000 �5 The Chair stated that the Planning Board has recommended to the Village Board to change the lot size on the remaining property to 2- acres. The Chair also stated that they have gone over many of these concerns in detail in the review process. Brian Kelly inquired if there were other economically or attractive options. He also stated that this is also only 1/5* of the total development. The Chair stated that the Board has tried to anticipate the interests of the residents concerning items like the drainage of the development. Brian Kelly also stated that these houses would provide income to the another school district. The Chair stated that some options that are available are to have the Westchester Land Trust buy the land from the developer. Another option is the Tarrytown can condemn the land and make it a park. Franchesca Spano (206 Wilson Park Drive, Tarrytown, NY) spoke. She inquired about a rezoning of an area near Bedford Road and Fairfield. David Smith responded that a public hearing took place on a proposed rezoning of an area from R3 to Rl. Dave Smith indicated this on a map of the Village. Franchesca Spano also inquired about Figure 21 on the Master Plan Study. Her concern was the increased traffic through Wilson Park. The Chair responded that the Board was looking at not having Figure 21 go forward but to have a crescent to have the traffic move back onto County House Road. Franchesca Spano also stated that 1 -2 acres are wooded land where deer roam would be destroyed. The applicant responded that about 1 acre will remain and that they will try to save as much as possible. Franchesca Spano also stated that every school bus that does not want to travel on Rt. 9 comes through Wilson Park. She stated that this is a serious concern. The Chair agreed. Franchesca Spano also stated that Tarrytown issued a letter in November concerning this property. She inquired what impact did the letter have on the Boards decision making process. The Chair stated that the letter was helpful in re-zoning the area to 1-acre. It was also helpful for integration and coordination between the two villages. Planning Board Meeting, February 17, 2000 �Mr. Somurn (111 Cobb Lane, Sleepy Hollow, NY) spoke. He asked if the Board could postpone approval until Tarrytown evaluates the environmental impact of the entire development. He stated this impacts two communities and a decent study of the overall environmental impact should be performed. The Chair stated that they would consider the request. Brian Kelly spoke again. He inquired if this land was on the open space list. The applicant responded that they have looked into it and this piece of land has not come up. The applicant stated that they would look into it. The Chair stated that the answer would be found out for the next meeting. The public hearing was closed. The Chair asked if the applicant had anything to add. The applicant stated that they had nothing to add. The Chair stated that the Board will proceed to having the Resolution prepared on the site plan approval and that the Board will consider the comments made this evening. d) Village Historian The Chair stated that the ARB has the authority to act on historical property but they have never acted on it. The Village Historian stated that it would make more sense for the Planning Board to take on this specialized aspect. The Chair stated that the Planning Board should meet with the ARB to discuss. George Tanner stated that this was discussed at the last meeting. The Chair agreed. The Chair also stated that the ARB changes what the Planning Board does and it never comes back to the Planning Board. The Chair stated that a code change is needed to resolve this problem. The Chair stated that the Planning Board also needs to sit with the Waterfront Revitalization Advisory Board. The Chair stated that the Board would invite the entire ARB and the entire Waterfront Revitalization Advisory Board to the March 6,2000 work session. The Chair discussed a letter from the Sleepy Hollow Taxpayers Association. The letter stated that the organization was concerned about the continuing development trend in the neighborhood specifically the area on Fremont and Rt. 9. They claim that they had no advanced notice on this development. Planning Board Meeting, February 17, 2000 �7 The Chair stated that the advanced notice was provided and that there was ample opportunity for input from the Village residents. The Chair said that the Board would be willing to meet with the Sleepy Hollow Manor Association to discuss at the Mayor's request. e) Minutes from last meeting There were no changes in the minutes from January 2000 meeting. David Perlmutter made a motion to approve. George Tanner seconded. It was unanimous. The Chair stated that there was a request from the Village of Tarrytown Conservation Committee to have the Planning Board minutes forwarded to them. There were no changes in the minutes from December 1999 meeting. Ed Napoleon made a motion to approve. David Perlmutter seconded. It was unanimous. f) Recreation fees Ed Lammers stated that a new fee schedule needed to be adopted by the Village Board. He also stated that there was discussion of that a new recreation fee of $5000 at the last meeting. Is this fee based on a lot or a dwelling unit? A criteria needs to be established. The current code is for $ 1000/dwelling unit. It was agreed that the fee would be based per unit. George Tanner stated that County House Road would need to put up $3000 under the current law. Ed Lammers stated that there are other fees in the Planning Boards jurisdiction. These fees need to be evaluated. The Chair stated that a Waterfront Revitalization Development category needed to be added. An open discussion took place on this fee development. The Chair inquired about the Planning Board fees of other neighboring villages specifically for Briarcliff Manor. Other Topics: The Chair stated that a letter would be sent to Mr. Rodriguez inviting him to the next meeting. Planning Board Meeting, February 17, 2000 �8 An open discussion took place on the school bus road that runs through Tarrytown on die County House Road development. George Tanner made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Ed Napoleon seconded. It was unanimously approved. Adjourn to next meeting.

The Chair reviewed the contents of the draft statement aloud. The Chair also stated that the Village Code states that monopole alternatives must be looked at. Dave Smith inquired about photo simulation. George Tanner stated that the photos should be taken without the foliage to indicate the visual impact. This was added to the draft scope.

Judson Seaburt responded that from a technical standpoint one of the methods (near Rt. 117) might not cover the area immediately south. The Chair asked that if the visual impact cannot be mitigated and the application is denied, where would Omnipoint try to place a monopole. Dave Smith stated that coverage could be provided at two (2) different heights on the monopole. Where could Omnipoint make up the coverage gap?

Ed Lammers gave a brief summary of the past discussions. He also stated that if the Board of Trustees was just changing the numbers associated with a fee, it could be passed by resolution.

Dave Smith stated that the applicant should go through their scoping agenda. The Chair stated that Omnipoint is the third applicant to appear before the Planning Board. The Planning Board expressed the possible hazards resulting from the monopole to Phelps hospital. Since there has been no reaction from Omnipoint on these adverse effects of monopole, the Planning Board proceeded with the positive declaration. The Planning Board expressed to Phelps Hospital on any possible health hazards as a result of the monopole. Lawrence Prega (DMS Consulting Services) represented Omnipoint. Debbie Levinson is recording. It was agreed that a copy of the public record be sent to the Village for the record. Lawrence Prega gave a brief overview of the proposed use of the monopole by Omnipoint. Lawrence Prega stated that there are four (4) users of the monopole not three (3). Lawrence Prega stated that Omnipoint has a health and safety analysis from Bell Labs. He also stated that the cumulative effect on the monopole is below the FCC regulations. The Chair asked the Board if there were any questions. Nicholas Cicchetti stated that there does not appear to be any response from Omnipoint on resolving the aesthetic problem of camouflaging the additional equipment. He also added that it would be above the tree line. George Tanner asked if there were other sites considered for use. He also asked if other tiers down the pole could be used. Lawrence Prega responded that the application included coverage maps at 80 feet, the coverage is not good. The antenna must be above the tree line at 122 feet. George Tanner asked if the major area without service is outside of Sleepy Hollow. Lawrence Prega responded that the area of interest is the eastern part of Sleepy Hollow and some of the surrounding areas. Planning Board Meeting, May 1, 2000 �George Tanner asked if the area of interest was the 117 corridor. Lawrence Prega responded that Omnipoint is concerned with the 117 corridor.

Lawrence Prega responded that the Radio Frequency (RF) engineer was not here to answer that question. Dave Smith stated that if the applicant could use a lower height and go to another area to pick up the difference. Lawrence Prega stated that a municipality couldn't legislate that a signal can only cover that municipality. The Chair responded by saying that the environmental impacts that have to be examined by any municipality are based on the actual factual impact rather than the limitation of the boundaries of the jurisdiction. The Chair stated that the Board would require an examination of alternative sites for a monopole within the range of service of this application whether it's within or outside Sleepy Hollow. David Perlmutter asked for a clarification on public thoroughfare. Donna Marie Stipo stated that every roadway, cul-de-sac, etc qualifies as a public thoroughfare. David Perlmutter stated that the applicant performs this in the Fall and not in the Spring. Lawrence Prega stated that they were going to perform this soon after the scope comes out. He stated that he hoped the Board would not hold him up by waiting until the Fall to perform this. David Perlmutter stated that the applicant would have to convince the Board that it would look the same now as it will in the Fall. Lawrence Prega stated that they would address this topic in the EAF. Dave Smith stated that prior applicants went to Kykuit and ran a balloon test. The Chair stated that the monopole would be more visible with the foliage down than with the foliage up. Planning Board Meeting, May 1, 2000 �Lawrence Prega stated that the accelerator antenna has less mass than the conventional equipment. David Perlmutter asked if this would be visible from the Hudson River. Donna Marie Stipo responded that it was not known. Nicholas Cicchetti wanted an elaboration on a statement made in the application under aesthetics item #2. It states that the applicant will "design an installation that will achieve a coverage area while minimizing to the greatest extent possible the conditional visual impact to the surrounding community." Lawrence Prega stated that the applicant would take a look at this topic. The Chair asked if any other member of the Board had any items to be added to the scope. Dave Smith responded that based on a memo from the Village Planners office dated May 1, 2000, the recommendations were as follows: * % & p i tr i) The applicant performs a balloon test. 2) Provide an overlay of the coverage area. 3) The applicant should coordinate their application with the Kendall rezoning application in case any improvements to the area are to be made. 4) Camouflage the proposed antenna, 5) Follow Section 62.22.2 of the Village Code with regards to the goals and objectives. Jerome Fine stated that the elevation of the Rockefeller property is approximately 410 feet. This should be added to the possible scoping topics. Don Penella referred to a memo from his office dated November 18,1999. The Chair opened up the floor to public comments. There were none. The Chair stated that there was one more item from the prior application that should be noted. The on-ground impact was advised of the last applicant. The Chair stated that this item detailed that if another user applied to use this site for the same purpose, the Board would request that the next building be underground. This was put on the record during the last application. The Chair stated for the record, that the Board wanted evidence that the hospital has authorized the application. Lawrence Prega stated that Omnipoints equipment is significantly smaller than other users.

The road design standards for the proposed cul-de-sac shall be amended as allowed under the cluster authorization to reduce the paved portion of the road width to 18 feet and the diameter of the paved portion of the proposed cul-de-sac to 80 feet. This design consideration is consistent with planning publications reviewed by the Planning Board and recommendations from the Westchester County Planning Board (January 31, 2000). 2. The proposed open space components to be reflected on the preliminary plat shall consist of a 0.46± acre passive recreation area located at the vicinity of Bedford and County House Road, a 1.07± acres portion with a stormwater detention facility linked by a 15 foot wide trail system, and 0.84± acres of conservation buffer easement along Bedford and County House Roads.

Erosion control measures to be utilized during construction shall be detailed on thefinalplan drawings and shall be provided in accordance with Westchester County Best Management Practices. 8. To the extent that determinations of the Architectural Review Board (ARB) would result in material changes to the approved subdivision plat, the Applicant is required to report to the Planning Board and provide details as to the ARB's determinations. 9.

Manganaro/Village Engineer) Jim Margotta (Building Inspector) Anthony DelVecchio (Recording Secretary) Announcements: The Chairman introduced Jim Nazemetz, Architectural Review Board Chairman. The Chairman stated that the Planning Board work session is an informational meeting only. Jim Nazemetz introduced the Architectural Review Board members in attendance. Agenda: a) b) c) d) e) Kendal-on Hudson Sleepy Hollow Association/John Fremont House Omnipoint Fremont Dredging County House Road a) Kendal-on-Hudson Andy Tung addressed the Board. He briefly discussed some changes to four aspects of the site plan. They were: 1) utilities 2) access to the development 3) walking trails 4) landscaping �Andy Tung gave an overview of the proposed layout. He addressed the site plan changes in the following order: 1) Utilities - The utility changes were shown to the Board via an overlaid drawing showing the original utilities and the changes. It indicated two alternate water and sewer connections to the northern loop. Andy Tung stated that an extensive sewer study was performed. As per this study, the proposed changes would increase water pressure in Sleepy Hollow Manor and the Kendal site. The former 8" line would be changed to a 12" line. 2) Access to the development - Andy Tung stated that Rockwood Road is to be extended to the loop road that would circle the Kendal development. In the DEIS, an alternate access was proposed. The access to the Kendal site will be shared with James House. This would allow easier access to the James House. Additionally, the parking for the James House would be moved. 3) Walking trails - The Kendal path would be connected to the Rockwood Hall trail. The connection to Sleepy Hollow Manor via a walkway to Birch Close has been eliminated. A path has been added to make an interval-walking loop. This allows residents to walk around the entire Kendal campus. The Chair asked if the applicant had known about Historic Hudson's idea to connect the GM site with Rockefeller State Park. Andy Tung responded that at this time it is not possible due to differing elevations and current railroad conditions. The Chair asked if the FEIS would include provisions to use Historic Hudson's idea. Andy Tung responded that the FEIS would state that a future connection could be made to connect the two. Andy Tung also added that it would be discussed in the FEIS. 4) Landscaping - The buffer on the loop road has been reinforced. The landscaping around the James House has also been improved. Steve Ebanusa (Perkins-Eastman Architects) discussed housing in the Irvington/Tarrytown areas. He also discussed the reasoning for choosing Italianate style architecture. Steve Ebanusa presented three views of the proposed development to better illustrate the intended architecture. George Tanner asked if the main building height is still 7 stories. Andy Tung responded yes. Planning Board Work Session, November 6,2000 2 �Andy Tung presented a sketch to indicate the view of the Kendal development as seen from the Hudson River. The Chair commented about the view from Rockwood Hall and asked the applicant to explain how the buffer area will be maintained to keep the buffer. Andy Tung showed a photo that would indicate how the buffer would look after 10 years of development. The Chair recommended keeping a comparable kind of mitigation in this area. Dave Smith asked if any other elements are to be added to the roof line. Steve Ebanusa responded that they added a lantern similar to the lantern on the James House. Andy Tung stated that Steve Ebanusa prepared a booklet as part of the FEIS. It describes the different elements that were integrated into the architectural style used on this project. Al DelBello stated that the FEIS would be finalized this week. He also stated that the applicant would come before the Planning Board and the Architectural Review Board for a formal recommendation. Andy Tung stated that a revised site plan would be submitted with the FEIS. The Chair asked if the applicant had given the Fire Department and Police Department a chance to input their comments. Andy Tung responded that only on an informal basis. Jim Nazemetz requested an informal work session with Perking-Eastman Architects. Steve Ebanusa agreed. Jim Nazemetz stated that this work session would take place between Thanksgiving and Christmas. b) Sleepy Hollow Association/John Fremont house Dave Smith distributed a letter on the John Fremont house and property zoning analysis. (see attached) Dave Smith summarized the zoning analysis via three sketches. The Chair stated that the Code could be changed to designate the John Fremont House as a historic landmark that meets Federal and State criteria. The Chair also stated that if landmark status were given, only three plots would be possible due to setbacks. Nicholas Cicchetti asked if the Village could do this. Planning Board Work Session, November 6,2000 3 �The Chair responded that the Planning Board could make a recommendation to the Village Board of Trustees to amend the law. The Chair also stated that this matter would be sent to the Architectural Review Board for input. c) Omnipoint Judson Seaburt is representing this application. He discussed the visual analysis that is to accompany the DEIS. He stated that a detailed balloon test was recently performed. Judson Seaburt stated that as per Dave Smith, the conditions for the balloon test were not perfect due to the foliage. The Chair stated that no effective notice was provided to the residents of Sleepy Hollow. He also added that the foliage was not minimal. Judson Seaburt stated that the applicant intends to perform another balloon test. George Tanner stated that every resident in Sleepy Hollow Manor would need to be noticed. Also, the test would have to be performed on two days. Judson Seaburt stated that the applicant went ahead based on a May 18,2000 letter. He also stated that another balloon test would be performed with proper notice provided. George Tanner stated that the previous applicant gave notice to all residents. Judson Seaburt responded that they followed the May 18,2000 letter and that one representative of the Sleepy Hollow Manor Association and the Building Inspector are to be noticed. The Chair stated that under SEQRA, the applicant must provide data to support the DEIS. Donna Stipo stated that there was a problem with the balloon test. She described how a comparable balloon test was performed using a lollypop effect. Jim Nazemetz asked how high is the tower currently. Judson Seaburt responded 107 feet. Jim Nazemetz asked if 15 feet are to be added to it. Judson Seaburt responded yes. Donna Stipo presented views from Kykuit. Photos were taken from three views that the tower is visible from.

Planning Board Work Session, November 6,2000 4 �Donna Stipo also presented photos to demonstrate the balloon test from the Hudson River. She stated that there is no impact from the lighthouse. The Chair stated that the Planning Board would provide guidance on when to perform the next test. Jim Nazemetz asked what was the diameter of the antenna. Judson Seaburt responded that it was 19" tapered but it is wider at the top. He also added that they would try to get a dummy accelerator to simulate the appearance of the antenna. The Chair stated that a date for the balloon test and an alternate date be provided. Donna responded that a weekday and weekend date would be provided. The Chair asked what notice would be provided to the Sleepy Hollow Manor residents. George Tanner responded that 14 days should be given. All Sleepy Hollow residents should be noticed as well. The applicant could obtain these names from the Sleepy Hollow Manor Association. Jim Margotta stated that the balloon test notice should be sent to him as well and he will distribute to every board in the Village. d) Fremont Dredging The Chair stated that the Village Board of Trustees has indicated that they want to be the lead agency for this application. Currently, the Village Planning Board is the lead agency. The Chair stated that if the lead agency designation is transferred, all agencies are to be notified. The Chair asked if scoping documents were done. Dave Smith responded that no scoping documents were done. The Chair stated that the Village Board of Trustees is to be informed about yielding lead agency status. The Village Board of Trustees is to notify all agencies on their intent to have lead agency status transferred to them.
