Mr. Gianfrancesco gave an overview of the project. Mr. Adler gave a summary of a traffic study that was done on June 12, 2014. Mr. Adler said that based on the traffic study, there is no reason to prohibit left turns out of 310 and 316 North Broadway.

Mr. Martone suggested that the Village undertake its own traffic study. Mr. Aridas made comments related to the traffic study. He said that based on the line of site, there is little margin for error. He believes that the estimated number of cars that exit the facility is low. Mr. Aridas said that the parking lot's proximity to Lawrence Avenue makes turning difficult. Mr. Adler responded to the comments. The Board discussed other aspects of the plan. Mr. Jones said that the plan is much improved over the last plan, but that common sense tells you that a left turn is dangerous. Mr. Jones asked the applicant why they couldn't simply comply.

He said that he has never had an accident exiting his business for as long as he's been there. Ed Oliveira said that the project is still flawed. It will increase traffic in Webber Park. He believes that the other facility on Beekman Avenue should be renovated. He also mentioned that the new location will be tax exempt resulting in a loss of tax revenue for the village. He appealed to the Board to deny the application. Dr. Shata Harkinson asked the Board to approve the project. The site will attract students and will not become a mini-hospital. Pratik Gandhi would like the project approved because it will promote good health. Gary McClean said that the applicant should use the traffic light to their advantage. He said they should think outside the box possibly by creating a parking structure.

He stated the applicants were not present, however the Board would discuss the appeal. He also stated the Board could grant the appeal, however if there were any indication that the appeal would not be granted, the Chair would stop the conversation and allow the applicant the opportunity to present their appeal at a later date. The Chair stated the Board had received documentation from the applicant and the tree committee denials were available on the Village website. The Chair stated the homeowners were concerned with the safety of a tulip tree next to their home. He stated tulip trees are not indigenous to this area, are very tall and drop a lot of leaves. The homeowners also received an opinion from an arborist that the tree should be removed. The Chair stated he believed the tree should come down. It is on a tight property and is over 80-100 feet tall and would do severe damage if it fell. In his opinion he would grant the appeal. Carl Aridas also agreed the tree should be taken down. He stated the tree is leaning dangerously close to the house and is in excess of 125 feet tall. Planning Board Meeting, January 16, 2 0 1 4 - APPROVED 2 �Hugh Jones stated he had walked the property and there were many other trees in addition to this tulip tree. He felt it would be beneficial to the property and the other trees if it were removed. Ed McCarthy also agreed. Motion to grant the appeal overturning the denial of the tree committee to remove the tulip tree from the property at 27 Fremont Road: Moved: McCarthy Seconded: Aridas Vote: 6-0 4 ) Rock of Salvation Church 1 3 5 Cortlandt St. Discussion Javier Taborga of C&T Design Build LLC, Kevin Stevens, attorney and Pastor Christian Santiago of Rock of Salvation Church represented this application. Mr. Taborga distributed new plans to the Board. He stated the new parking configuration was reduced from 27 to 22 parking spaces. The plan would enlarge the aisle width in the rear lot from 17 feet to 22 feet. There would only be compact car parking in the rear and the length of those parking spaces would be extended from 15 feet to 16 feet. The turnaround area in the rear has been enlarged to 17 feet. They are also eliminating curbing as much as possible so plowing would be more efficient. James Natarelli stated he had concerns about the parallel spots for full size cars, located on the side when entering the lot. He stated the length indicated was 18 feet and he felt that was still tight for parallel parking. Mr. Taborga stated that was the length indicated in the code. Mr. Natarelli stated the code referral was for 90-degree parking not parallel parking. Mr. Taborga suggested eliminating an island in the plan to give more length to the parallel parking spaces. Mr. Taborga stated the parking spaces on the street were 18 feet in length and since no traffic was behind the cars, then parking should be easier in the lot. David Smith agreed with Mr. Natarelli and stated there is a different configuration for parallel parking as opposed to 90-degree parking. The Chair asked about the engineering standard for parallel parking. Mr. Smith stated it typically was larger since maneuvering room is required to get into and out of the space. The Chair asked if there was ingress and egress to the property at 139 Cortlandt Street and asked if Mr. Taborga could eliminate an island in the design of the parking lot. Mr. Taborga agreed to eliminate that island and add a foot and a half to the parallel parking spaces. Instead of 18 feet, they would be 19.5 feet. Mr. Natarelli stated that would be better for the patrons. The Chair stated that the parallel parking spots should also have signage to indicate that large SUV-type vehicles should not park in those spaces. He stated the island should be eliminated to provide extra length to the parallel spaces. Planning Board Meeting, January 16, 2 0 1 4 - APPROVED 2 �Carl Aridas inquired as to how many handicapped parking spaces were required. Mr. McCarthy stated one handicapped space for every 25 parking spots, so the applicant was in compliance. The Chair asked about the applicant's relationship regarding the parking with the property at 139 Cortlandt Street. Kevin Stevens stated they had met with representatives of the bank that owns that property. They have agreed to the concept of an easement in principle. They should have that document available for the next meeting. The Chair asked Janet Gandolfo what would happen to the existing easement on the property at 137 and 139 Cortlandt Street, if the Planning Board adopts these variances for the applicant. Janet Gandolfo stated that all parties had agreed the original easement had never been filed. Ms. Gandolfo thanked the Church for agreeing to grant another easement to the property at 139 Cortlandt Street so they would have access to the rear of their property. She stated that Sean McCarthy had agreed that the fire lane to the north of the building at 139 Cortlandt would be closed, which would give that building an additional parking space. With the easement, there would be enough parking for that property. And in addition, 139 Cortlandt would have access to the three parallel spots in the Church parking lot, but only during non-church hours. Also there is a co-existing catch basin that transcends both properties. The Church has agreed to move that catch basin subject to the Village Engineer's approval, so that it is only on one property and there would be no issues of joint liability in the future. Mr. Taborga stated an older plan showed a retention system or leaching tanks. The applicant has applied for a demolition permit to determine if the structures shown on the plans actually exist. Mr. Stevens asked if they could proceed with the demolition permit which would help with the analysis of possible shared drainage between the two properties. The Chair asked Ms. Gandolfo about the conditions for approval based on deferring to the Zoning Board on parking and for the demolition permit. Janet Gandolfo stated the Board could give authorization to the Building Department to issue the demolition permit. Then the applicant could apply to the Zoning Board to get the variance needed and this would all be subject to final approval of the Planning Board and the Village engineer with regard to drainage issues. The Chair thanked Rock of Salvation Church and the Bank as the property owner of 139 Cortlandt Street for all their hard work on the good resolution of this issue. Motion to send the applicant to the Zoning Board to obtain approval for parking with the Planning Board's endorsement based on the following changes: Planning Board Meeting, January 16, 2 0 1 4 - APPROVED 2 �• Removing the island and increasing the length by approximately 1.5 feet each of the four parallel spaces on the north side entering the lot. • Adding signage to the four parallel spaces prohibiting overly large vehicles. Moved: Martone Seconded: Jones Vote: 6-0 Ms. Gandolfo suggested holding the public hearing when this applicant returns before the Planning Board. 5) C.A.R.S. Inc. 3 3 3 No.Broadway Discussion The Chair stated that the Building Department had received email from the applicant's architect saying they would be unable to attend this meeting. The Chair stated the applicant had not attended meetings for a long time and he felt this applicant should start the process over and resend notices to the surrounding properties. Motion to remove this application from the Planning Board's agenda; if the applicant wants to return before the Board they would need to resubmit their application: Moved: Martone Seconded: Jones Vote: 6-0 5) Approval of Minutes December 18, 2 0 1 3 The Chair asked for a motion to approve the minutes of December 18, 2013. Moved: Mendez Abstain: Aridas Seconded: McCarthy The Chair asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting. Moved: DelVecchio Seconded: Aridas Vote: 5-1-0 Vote: 6-0 The meeting was adjourned at 8:36pm.
