Mark Day is the project architect and is representing this application. Mark Day gave a summary of the proposed project. He stated that the bank entrance would be raised to match the bank lobby elevation. He stated that the bank is refining their original request. He stated that the bank has also evaluated creating an entrance in the rear of the property. He stated that there is an existing stairway that limits the ability to create an entrance and that many structural modifications would have to be made to create a handicapped entrance in the rear. He also stated that the bank met with representatives from the Department of State. He stated that the reps did not like the rear and side entrance proposals since they were not practical and that the proposed ramp entrance in the front is the only viable option. He stated that a licensing agreement is needed with the Village in order to construct the ramp. The Chair asked if the lift option was discussed with the bank. Mark Day responded yes. He reviewed the space needs of the lift. The Chair responded that there are other ways to access an ATM. Mark Day stated that he is only presenting information to the Board to request a licensing agreement. The Chair stated that he has an issue with giving up public property for a private institution. He stated that there are other options available so that everyone can access the bank. Janet Gandolfo stated that the Village Trustees are seeking advice from the Planning Board to see if the plan is acceptable. The Chair asked the Building Inspector for the width of the new sidewalk with the proposed ramp. Sean McCarthy responded that the edge of the ramp and the guardrail would have a 5-foot path. Mark Day responded that there are other areas on the block that have a 5-foot path due to landscaping areas. He stated that the area has been taped off so that the impacts can be evaluated. Hugh Jones stated that he banks at Mahopac National Bank. He stated that the bank is spending a lot of money renovating the interior but he stated that they are not listening to the Board’s feedback regarding using Village property for the bank’s use. Mark Day stated that the bank has looked at this for several months. He stated that all possibilities have been fully evaluated. APPROVED - Planning Board Meeting, April 22, 2010 3 �Sean McCarthy stated that this is not a requirement of the Building Department. He stated that this is a request of the bank. Mark Day stated that the bank is trying to comply with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). The Chair responded that the bank started with the interior renovations and then decided to create the exterior ramp. Robinson Morrell is the Facilities Manager for the bank. He stated that the bank officers have discussed this ramp in great detail. He stated that if the bank would build the ramp in the interior space, it would create a narrow space for the tellers to work. The Chair asked if the Board turned down the application, how will the bank look to comply. Mark Day responded that the bank would not build the ramp. John Whysner asked where in the Village is the sidewalk 5-foot wide. Robinson Morrell responded that the sidewalk near the liquor store is 5-foot wide. Mark Day stated that the applicant could revisit the ARB to present another option to reduce the width of the masonry that would reduce the width by 4-6”. He also stated that the Department of State could grant a variance to reduce the ramp width from 36” to 32”. He stated that these two possible approvals could gain 10”-12”. The Chair stated that the applicant should present other alternatives to the Board. John Whysner asked about the pipes around the trees. Mark Day responded that the pipes are existing so that people do not run into the trees. He stated that the trees are on Village property. Sean McCarthy stated that the applicant could propose an alternative for the trees in order to gain some space. Mark Day responded that he can bring alternatives for the front entrance but he wanted to clarify that alternatives for the rear entrance will not be evaluated since the modifications are prohibitive. The Chair asked about the entrance on Washington Street. Mark Day responded that the entrance is behind the bank tellers. He also stated that there is also a significant elevation difference. The Chair stated that the applicant needs to show creative alternatives. Mark Day stated that bringing the ramp into the building is not a viable solution since it would put the public behind the tellers. He stated that the all options have been evaluated. John Wysner stated that he does not have a personal issue with the application. He suggested that the 4 APPROVED - Planning Board Meeting, April 22, 2010 �Board visit the bank. The Chair responded that there are other alternatives that can be evaluated and he would like the applicant to present them to the Board. John Whysner stated that the poles could be moved to make the sidewalks wider and help the plan. Ed McCarthy stated that the bank is part of the Village. He stated that a lot of seniors use the bank and he would like them to use the front of the bank. Nicholas Cicchetti stated that options should be internal. Mark Day responded that an internal ramp would be so structurally prohibitive that the bank would not be able to operate as a bank. Robinson Morrell stated that the vault has been in the same location since the bank was built in 1924. He stated that the floor plan is limited based on the location of the vault. He stated that the ARB made the ramp a few inches wider. He stated that they will make every effort to make the ramp narrower. Hugh Jones asked if everyone would have to use the ramp to access the bank. Mark Day responded that there would be stairs on the side of the ramp. This was adjourned to the next meeting. 5) Cathleen O’Connell 115 Millard Avenue New pool and patio Andreas Sandari is the project contractor and is representing this application along with the owner.

Janet Gandolfo verified that a swimming pool requires a public hearing as required by Village Code. Hugh Jones asked if a special public hearing can be scheduled.
