Moved: Aridas Seconded: Swartz Vote 5-0 3) Marcos Lozano, 30 Andrews Lane, Proposed town house development - Preliminary presentation. Jonathan Villani from Jonathan Villani & Associates, Inc. is representing the applicant. Mr. Villani stated that the plans have been revised to address the comments from last month's meeting. Mr. Villani stated that the vehicular circulation has been revised and open space in the parking area was created. Mr. Villani stated that there is still a question about the location of the middle building in relationship to the parking and circulation. Mr. Villani is requesting approval of the location of the middle building so the site engineering drawings can be completed. Chairwoman Santo stated that the Board reviewed the plans at the work session before the meeting and had several comments. Ms. Santo referred to the site plan drawing and stated that the green space from adjoining units overlap lacking privacy and that there should be some type of separation; the driveway width at 16 feet was too narrow; the dumpster location in the corner of the lot would be difficult to access; the middle building is lacking a green space area; and some parking areas are not curbed and protected with a buffer area. Jonathan Villani stated that the location and configuration of the middle building makes providing open space difficult. Gordon Swartz questioned if the middle building should be eliminated and replaced with open space. Jonathan Villani replied that eliminating the building will reduce the unit count to eight making the project not viable. Mr. Villani stated that the Board is suggesting eliminating units in favor of open space. Clinton Smith stated that the Board is not suggesting having open space rather than dwelling units. Mr. Smith stated that although the project may comply with the zoning regulations, the Board is questioning if the site plan, with the proper open space, width of driveway, traffic circulation, garbage facility, and utility functions, will support the proposed number of units. Jonathan Villani stated that if he removes the middle building, the other two buildings could be adjusted to make the driveway wider and correct the parking layout. Gordon Swartz stated that the plan has made good progress. �Jonathan Villani stated that he will discuss the Boards suggestions with his client. No action was taken. 4) Cortlandt Court, LLC, 149 Cortlandt Street, Proposed auto body shop- Preliminary presentation The applicant did not appear for the meeting. No action was taken. 5) R-5 Zoning Amendments Gordon Swartz stated that Francois from the Tree Commission contacted him about two trees that were approved by the Planning Board to be taken down on a property. The homeowner took down three trees and was given that approval by the Building Department. Chairwoman Santo stated that the minutes only approved taking down two trees. Gordon Swartz stated that this is going to be an issue and wants to find out what happened. Mr. Swartz stated that there was a lot of push back from Sean McCarthy about the sub-committees report and he didn't want to engage any of the committee's recommendations. Chairwoman Santo asked to review the resolution for the R-5 Zoning Amendments. Clinton Smith reviewed the changes to the draft resolution and the process amending the Zoning Code. There was an open discussion about how the resolution should be addressed to the Village Board. Motion was made to direct the Village Attorney to revise the resolution and re-circulate the document.

Gordon Swartz questioned the steepness of the land and was concerned about storm water runoff from the property. William Simeoforides described the topography of the lots and stated that on-site drainage structures will be designed and installed on each lot to accommodate the storm water. �Anthony DelVecchio questioned the choice of proposing vinyl siding for the homes.

Jonathan Villani stated that the project meets the Zoning requirements and he is trying to incorporate all of the Planning Board's concerns while meeting his clients program. Chairwoman Santo stated that there is a safety concern having a fire truck access the rear buildings through the narrow driveway. Gordon Swartz stated that the revised plans are a big improvement from the first submission. Ed McCarthy stated that several of the cars that were parked on the property have relocated to the Municipal parking lot.

Mr. Blanchard stated that there will not be any changes to the outside of the building. Carl Aridas asked if there will be any painting on the property and what type of ventilation system will be used. Mark Blanchard replied that the tenant will paint on-site in a self contained booth. The booth and ventilation system will need approval from the Department of Health. Mr. Blanchard stated that the air coming out of the both will be cleaner than the air on the street. Gordon Swartz questioned Clinton Smith why the zoning was changed. �Dave Smith stated that he was going to research when the Code was changed. Anthony DelVecchio asked if the ventilation system was installed. Mark Blanchard replied that the self contained both will need to be approved by the Health Department and then installed. Anthony DelVecchio stated that the Village reviewed a similar proposal and the Health Department would not approve the system until the Village approved the project. Carl Aridas questioned how far away residential properties are. Mark Blanchard replied that there are apartment buildings across the street and down the block.

Mr. Taylor stated that a new MRI addition was completed and opened for business in April of 2015. Mr. Taylor described the proposal to convert the former MRI building which was built in 1992 and convert the space to be used for new administrative support offices and rotational office space for Northwell Health. Mr. Taylor stated that due to the proximity to the Emergency Department, the building will also have space allocated for a paramedic that will respond to emergencies in the community. Gordon Swartz questioned how long this arraignment will be needed and what will be the ultimate plan for the building. Glen Taylor replied that the space would be used as offices until the Hospital analyzes their needs and amends their Master Plan in 2017. �Dave Smith asked how big the building is. Glen Taylor was not sure but will provide the information; and added that there will not be any further expansion of the building. Carl Aridas asked if the change of use to office space still exempt the Hospital from paying taxes on the building. Glen Taylor replied that the change will not alter the tax status. The proposed offices will be for hospital uses and not Article 28 uses. Carl Aridas stated that the President of the Hospital came before the Planning Board two years ago and said that the building was temporary, and that it would be torn down. Mr. Aridas stated that if the building is to remain, architectural improvements should be made to the exterior to improve the aesthetics. Glen Taylor agreed and stated that capital resources can be allocated to make improvements. Chairwoman Santo solicited questions. There were no further questions. No action was taken. 2) Michelle & Gary McLean, 404 Old Broadway, Proposed delicatessen-Amended site plan Robert Gaudioso is an attorney with Snyder & Snyder representing the applicants. Mr. Gaudioso stated that the applicant is requesting an amended site plan approval for changes that were made during construction, including making the covered porch larger, moving the parking spaces and ramp, and removing the portico on the side of the building and replacing the platform and steps. Mr. Gaudioso stated that the revised front porch encroached one and a half feet into the front yard setback, and that the Zoning Board of Appeals approved the variance. Chairwoman Santo asked if the Village Engineers comments were addressed. Robert Gaudioso replied that the comments were part of the original approval and requested that they be made conditions of the approval; one item was to provide a photometric plan for the site lighting and the second comment was to provide wheel stops for the parking spaces. Mr. Gaudioso said it would be easy to comply with the lighting but requested that the wheel stops be eliminated. Mr. Gaudioso stated that the owner has built a nice stone wall in front of the parking area and didn't think the wheel stops were necessary. Gordon Swartz asked what the problem with the ramp was. �Robert Gaudioso replied that the slope of the concrete ramp was poured too steep so the architect is applying to the State for a variance. Mr. Gaudioso stated that if the variance is not approved then the owner will have to re-pour the ramp. There was an open discussion about the location of the ramp, handicap parking space, and location of the entrance to the store. Sean McCarthy informed the Board that the front porch roof overhangs about two feet into the parking area, and due to the low height a truck may back up and hit the roof. Robert Gaudioso requested that the requirement for the wheel stops be optional. Gordon Swartz clarified that the business could not operate until the ramp is corrected to the required slope or a variance from the State is granted. Motion was made to approve the amended site plan and direct the staff to prepare a resolution. Moved: McCarthy Seconded: Jones Vote 5-0 3) A&L Properties, 15 Katrina Avenue, Proposed subdivision/ site plan- Preliminary presentation John Hughes is the attorney representing the applicant and introduced William Simeoforides as the architect for the project.

Mr. Simeoforides said that the proposal will eliminate 3 street parking spaces and add a total of 10 off-street spaces. Mr. Simeoforides presented drawings of each lot and reviewed the lot sizes and building plans for each house. Gordon Swartz stated that he is concerned with the increase in the density, going from one unit to six and the loss of parking on the street. Mr. Swartz also stated that the Planning Board is responsible for approving the architecture of the building so a rendering of the project would be helpful. John Hughes replied that the project conforms to all requirements of the Zoning Code, and that density is consistent with the Webber Park neighborhood. Carl Aridas stated that the additional cars would need to exit onto Broadway which is a busy and dangerous intersection. �Chairwoman Santo stated that the cars could also go up Gordon Avenue onto New Broadway. Carl Aridas asked if there were any easements needed for utilities. William Simeoforides replied that there are no planned easements for the proposed lots. Sean McCarthy questioned if the electrical services would be overhead or underground. William Simeoforides replied that the electric services will be overhead.

Anthony DelVecchio clarified that the size of the units are actually 2,500 square feet not 1,200 square feet, and stated that this information should be reflected on the plans. Mr. DelVecchio also questioned if the units would be for sale or rent; and stated that this information would be needed before a decision could be made. Jonathan Villani stated that he will discuss the options with his client. Carl Aridas stated that he agrees with Mr. Swartz and doesn't think the side of the building should be facing the street. Mr. Aridas said that the project looks like a gated, closed development, unlike the neighborhood that has houses from the 1880's with open front porches. Mr. Aridas recommended turning the buildings to face the street. Mr. Aridas stated that there is a lot of asphalt area proposed and questioned if the drainage would be adequate to prevent runoff from the property. Jonathan Villani replied that the site is currently almost covered with impervious surfaces and that the proposal complies with the Village coverage requirements. Mr. Villani stated that his engineer is preparing the drainage system design but will not complete it until the site layout is agreed upon. Chairwoman Santo stated that the Board would like an analysis to know what's going to happen to the displaced cars, and would like the aesthetics revised to address the Board's comments. �Jonathan Villani stated that the aesthetics can be revised but he doesn't believe his client is responsible for the municipal parking problem. There was an open discussion regarding the lack of parking in the neighborhood and if a parking or traffic study would be required. Clinton Smith stated that the current property owner could provide information on the people who are using the parking lot. There were no additional comments. No action was taken. 6) Cortlandt Court, LLC, 149 Cortlandt Street, Proposed auto body shop- Preliminary presentation No one appeared for the application. 7) Deven Sharma and Om Dhiman, 178 Beekman Avenue, Religious place of worshipPresentation Deven Sharma is representing the property owner. Mr. Sharma stated that the vacant first floor of the building was granted a temporary site plan approval about two years ago to use the space as a place of worship while the congregation's temple is being constructed in White Plains. Mr. Sharma stated that the Board approved an 18 month permit with a 6 month extension and Mr. Sharma is now requesting permanent approval. Gordon Swartz questioned how often the space is used and how many people attend. Deven Sharma replied that 2-3 people come in the evening during the week and 25-30 people attend on Friday evenings, Saturdays and Sundays. Gordon Swartz questioned how many vehicles drive into the Village. Deven Sharma replied that many people come from Tarrytown so only about 10 vehicles requiring parking. There was an open discussion about a temporary extension versus a permanent approval. Gordon Swartz was concerned that conditions may change which will make the site more attractive and popular to use. A motion was made to grant an 18 month temporary site plan extension to the original November 6, 2014 approval coterminous with the Zoning Board of appeals approval. Moved: Aridas Seconded: Brennan Vote 7-0 �8) Kevin Sullivan, 59 Fremont Road, Tree removal appeal- Discussion Kevin Sullivan is the owner of the property. Mr. Sullivan stated that the tree is about 10 feet from his patio and there are large limbs that hang over the house. Mr. Sullivan said the tree is located next to his children's bedroom and there is a crack in the middle of the tree that is getting larger. Mr. Sullivan said the tree had to be tethered and is concerned it will fall on his house. Chairwoman Santo asked if the tree could be trimmed. Kevin Sullivan replied that the tree has been trimmed but it is still too large, close to the house, and the crack is getting worse. Mr. Sullivan added that the tree is in back of the house so removing it would not change the character of the neighborhood. Removing the tree would allow more sunlight into the back yard. Hugh Jones stated that he visited the property and shares the same concerns as the owner. Mr. Jones said that the removal of this one tree would not damage the ecological system in the neighborhood. Gordon Swartz reviewed the Village Code requirements for the removal a tree without a permit and the criteria the tree committee uses to decide if a tree should be removed. Mr. Swartz stated that based on the Code parameters there is no basis to remove the tree; but the appeal process requires a judgment call and he agrees with the owners appeal. Ed McCarthy stated that he is concerned because the tree is very tall, close to the house, and the fact that the tree is tethered. Gordon Swartz asked Sean McCarthy if the owner is required to replace the removed tree with two trees. Sean McCarthy replied that two replacement trees are required to be planted on the property or another location. Mr. McCarthy added that in lieu of planting the trees, the cost of the trees can be placed in the Village Tree Fund. A motion was made to overturn the Tree Committee's tree removal denial. Moved: Aridas Seconded: Jones Vote 7-0 9) Geoffrey and Kristen Ward, 20 Fremont Road, Tree removal appeal- Discussion Kristen Ward is the property owner and described the request to remove 3 trees. Ms. Ward stated that there are 33 trees on the property and the 3 trees requested to be removed are dangerous. One tree is very large and is only 12 feet from the house; one tree is growing up through the power line; and one tree is severely leaning toward the house. Gordon Swartz questioned how tall the trees are and if the owner's tree company determined if any are diseased. �Kristen Ward replied that two of the trees are about 70 feet and the other is about 65 feet; the tree leaning toward the house is about 70 feet. The Williams Tree Company didn't state that the trees were diseased but the branches that fell were rotted. Mathew Brennan asked what the Tree Committees comments were. Kristen Ward replied that the Tree Committee denied the application because the trees help with noise abatement from Route 9 and preserve the natural habitat for the wildlife. Gordon Swartz asked if there was a problem with the Building Department getting back to her. Kristen Ward replied that she filed the tree removal application with the Building Department on March 28th and it has taken 7 months to get a decision. Ms. Ward stated that she contacted the Building Department numerous times but Ms. Lee said she couldn't get anyone to go out to the property. Gordon Swartz asked Sean McCarthy if there is anything in the Code that requires the Tree Committee to make a decision within a period of time. Sean McCarthy replied that the Tree Committee has 30 days to make a decision. Clinton Smith stated that he will check the statute but unless a default approval is in the Code, then the filing of an Article 78 proceeding would be required to compel a decision. Carl Aridas questioned which of the three trees need to be removed immediately. Kristen Ward replied that the two trees near the house are the most important and the third tree by the corner near the power lines could wait and be trimmed. The priority is to remove the leaning tree. Ed McCarthy asked if Con Edison was contacted to trim the tree near the power lines. Kristen Ward said not yet but she will call them to trim the tree. Hugh Jones stated that he was concerned with the direction of the Tree Committee. Mr. Jones said that the Committee was originally charged to review trees on undeveloped land for the purpose of planning housing projects; but now the committee is deciding on trees on private property, and the view is that removing a tree is considered environmentally wrong. A motion was made to overturn the Tree Committee's tree removal denial and allow the removal of trees #1 and #3. A new application will be required to remove tree #2. Moved: Aridas Seconded: McCarthy Abstain: Brennan Vote 6-0-1 There was an open discussion regarding the intent of the Tree Ordinance, the number of appeals, standards for denying an application, protocol for overturning the Committees decision, and procedure for making revisions to the Code. �A sub-committee composed of Gordon Swartz, Hugh Jones, and Matt Brennan was created to meet with the Tree Committee; and review the Tree Ordinance to determine if revisions should be recommended to the Board of Trustees. 10) Approval of minutes -May 19, 2016 Motion was made to approve the July 21, 2016 minutes as amended. Moved: Jones Seconded: Swartz Vote 7-0 Seconded: McCarthy Vote 7-0 Motion was made to adjourn the meeting.

Motion to open the public hearing Moved: Aridas Seconded: DelVecchio Vote 7-0 Aubrey Hawes Spoke. Mr. Hawes is the president of the Friends of the Old Dutch Church and supports the project. He explained that the Dutch Church has been renovated several times over its history and so these changes are nothing new. Architect, Joanne Tall provided a power point that showed pictures of how the Church has changed over the years. Ms. Tall showed the landscape plan and described the material used for the benches. There will be both stone and wood benches. Mr. Aridas asked about the stones used for the wall. Ms. Tall said that the stone work is deliberately designed not to compete with the stone work on the Church. She said that the stone wall can also be used for seating. Ms. Tall described the path that will travel through the burial ground from the Church to Washington Irving's grave. The path will be constructed without using heavy machinery and will not damage the tombstones Engineer, William Lachenauer of Hudson Engineering and Consulting spoke. Mr. Lachenauer addressed the drainage concerns and said that the impact on the storm water runoff will be minimal. A drainage plan was submitted for the record. There was a discussion about the type of material being used for the path. Hugh Jones asked about the lighting and in particular a light that once shined on the Church from across the street. Ms. Tall said the lighting will be subtle and placed along the new walkway �leading to the Church. Mr. Lachenauer said that intent is not to make the Church appear to be a monument by shining lights on it. Mayor, Ken Wray spoke. Mayor Wray is in support of the project. He said that the primary purpose of this project is to make the Church more accessible for tourists, but especially for the congregation who attend the Church on a regular basis. He urged the Planning Board to approve the project. Jane Greenwood spoke. Ms. Greenwood is a Tarrytown resident and a member of the congregation. She is also an architect and familiar with these types of projects. She is in support of the project and said that historic sites are frequently converted to be ADA compliant. She said that the congregation is aging and needs better access to attend services. The new plan will enable more people to attend services. Chairman Santo entered into the record a letter from Sara Mascia to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Ms. Mascia asked SHPO to review the plans. SHPO has not yet responded, but will within 30 days. Aubrey Hawes said that SHPO has already approved the plans that were submitted earlier in the year and they have not changed. There was a debate as to whether or not Ms. Mascia's request the SHPO was appropriate and necessary. Ms. Greenwood said that a private citizen shouldn't have the right to hold up a project waiting for an answer from SHPO. Mr. Swartz said that Ms, Mascia was directed by the Planning Board to investigate the matter and to contact SHPO. Discussion ensued. Motion to close the public hearing Moved: Aridas Seconded: Swartz Vote 7-0 Chairman Santo said that the applicant has addressed all of the Board's concerns and that all the comments were in support of the project.

The applicant now would like to bring some fill in by barge. Also being requested is permission to unload the barges starting at 7:00am. Mr. Johnson said that he met with the Ichabod's Landing Executive Board who said that they have no objection to the project and earlier start time. Mr. Johnson said that bringing in fill by barge will create less of an impact on the community by reducing truck traffic. Clinton Smith spoke regarding the time request. Mr. Smith said that the Planning Board does not have the authority to approve a time extension and that the matter has to be taken up with the Village Board.

Chair Santo asked for a motion to open the public hearing. �Motion was made to open the public hearing. Moved: Swartz Seconded: Jones Vote 6-0 Engineer, William E. Lachenauer from Hudson Engineering, represented the application. Mr. Lachenaurer reviewed the history of the project and the prior application. He stated that the utility easement between the two adjoining properties on Bellwood Avenue was found and submitted to the Village. Mr. Lachenaurer also said that he answered all the comments from the Village Engineer's memo. Mr. Lachenaurer requested approval from the Board. Chair Santo questioned how the driveway would function; and if there would be enough area to turn a large car around on the property. Ed McCarthy questioned the width of the proposed driveway. Mr. Lachenaurer responded that the driveway was 12 feet wide with a 6 foot turn around area; providing enough area for a car to turn around. Gordon Swartz questioned if a Suburban could turn around in the driveway without backing out onto Route 9. Mr. Lachenaurer replied that the driver would need to make a multiple turn K-turn and offered to extend the driveway to provide more area for turning around. Carl Aridas questioned who was responsible for removing the wall adjoining the neighbor's property. Mr. Lachenaurer replied that the contractor or Makan is responsible for removing the wall. Ed McCarthy questioned the status of the Department of Transportation approval. Mr. Lachenaurer replied that the application was submitted and they are waiting to hear back from the State. Chair Santo questioned if the exterior design drawings were submitted to the Board. Mr. Lachenaurer replied that the design drawings will be submitted as part of the Building Permit application. Sean McCarthy stated that the Planning Board has the responsibility to review the Architectural design and will need to approve the design as part of the Planning Board application. �Carl Aridas questioned what piping will be installed through the easement. Mr. Lachenaurer replied that both the water service and the sewer pipe will be installed in the easement area. Mr. Lachenaurer summarized by stating that the architects will submit the design drawings for review next month, his office will revise the driveway, and add weep holes to the wall detail. Chair Santo solicited comments from the public. There were no public comments. Motion was made to adjourn the public hearing. Moved: Swartz Seconded: Aridas Vote 6-0 2) Local Development Corporation, 60 Continental Street, Sub-division - Public hearing Motion was made to open the public hearing. Moved: Santo Seconded: McCarthy Vote 6-0 David Schroedel stated that the Local Development Corporation submitted documentation as requested at the previous meeting, including the licensing agreement with the MTA, the deed restrictions, and the historical uses. Attorney, David Rothman represented the applicant. Mr. Rothman asked the Board if they had any questions regarding the uses of the rail siding property. Clinton Smith questioned if the LDC made application to General Motors to relieve the restrictions on the East Parcel. David Schroedel responded no, because Metro North has not exercised their option. Mr. Schroedel added that the LDC was seeking the sub-division which approval will trigger the option. Chair Santo questioned what the MTA is planning to use the site for. David Rothman replied that the MTA will continue to use the property as they have historically used it; including the storage and maintenance of rail cars. Gordon Swartz questioned if the option to sell the property is exercised, would the historical uses remain or would the MTA use the property for another use. �David Rothman responded that there are deed restrictions on the property that will continue with the land. Gordon Swartz asked what the deed restrictions are. David Rothman replied that the historical uses would continue and that the MTA could do whatever they wanted with the land; they would use the side rails for rail cars and maintenance. Gordon Swartz asked if repairing the rail cars was included and if there are hours of operation stated in the restrictions. David Rothman replied that hours of operation are not in the restrictions. Gordon Swartz stated that the restrictions are not spelled out and questioned what the scope of maintenance included. David Rothman responded that the uses will be consistent with the former uses and that he will clarify what the restrictions are. Chair Santo questioned if the LDC planned on constructing a buffer between the rail sidings and the new development. David Rothman replied that a fence will be constructed along the western border. Planner, Chris Reale from WSP described the buffer, stating that the area will be 10-50 feet of landscaped buffer with a 12 foot wide path and a fence 8-10 feet tall creating a physical barrier between the East Parcel. Chair Santo questioned the material planned for the space between the rails and the path. Chris Reale replied that the space is not designed yet but the buffer will consist of native grasses, shrubs, trees and maybe a bioswale. Chair Santo stated her concern for the potential for fires due to the type of material proposed for the buffer in relationship to the train tracks. David Schroedel explained the deed restrictions imposed by the DEC and the conditions required by General Motors. Gordon Swartz stated his concern that once the East Parcel property is developed with new ball fields and recreation space that the Metro North Parcel will not be an industrial type use. Carl Aridas questioned the provision in the deed to exempt the MTA from restrictions on the property. �Mayor Ken Wray stated his support for the application. Mayor Wray indicated that the MTA parcel is very valuable to the LDC and Village. Mayor Wray explained that the rails will be used to temporarily park a train until it can be moved to another location to be fixed. Mayor Wray added that the MTA property is only accessible from the railroad and the LDC could deny the MTA access through their property. Gordon Swartz stated that the MTA currently has an access easement through the East Parcel. Chair Santo questioned if the MTA can proceed with eminent domain to gain access through the East parcel. Clinton Smith replied that the MTA can use super authority to facilitate what they want. Motion was made to close the public hearing and direct Village staff to prepare a draft resolution. Moved: Swartz Seconded: Aridas Vote 6-0 3) Philipse Manor Beach Club, Western end of Palmer Avenue, Dredge permit - Public hearing Motion was made to open the public hearing. Moved: Santo Seconded: Swartz Vote 6-0 Tim Judge represented the application. The project is to dredge the marina at the Philipse Manor Boat Club and de-water the dredged material on the East Parcel. Chair Santo questioned where the dredge material will be stored. Tim Judge replied that the exact location has not been determined but the material will be stored on north side of the East Parcel and used in accordance with the fill plan developed by the LDC. Chair Santo asked if there were any public comments. There were no public comments. Clinton Smith stated that a disposal plan will be required prior to issuing a Wetlands Permit. Tim Judge explained the process of dewatering and storing the dredged material. �Clinton Smith stated that dredging will not be permitted until a storage site is approved and the Planning Board will retain jurisdiction for review and approval of the storage of the dredge material within the Village. Chair Santo questioned if there are optional sites to take the material. Tim Judge replied that the Edge-on-Hudson property was an alternate site but was not the first choice because it would cost more to transport the material. Anthony DelVecchio arrived at 8:57 PM. Motion was made to close the public hearing and direct Village staff to prepare a draft resolution. Moved: Swartz Seconded: McCarthy Vote 7-0 4) Margaret Carroll, 5 Birch Close, Site improvements - Continued public hearing Chair Santo asked for a motion to open the public hearing. Motion was made to open the public hearing. Moved: Swartz Seconded: Aridas Vote 7-0 Chair Santo stated that the applicant requested an adjournment. Chair Santo solicited comments from the public. There were no comments. Gordon Swartz asked if the applicant contacted the next door neighbor about the proposed work on their property. Sean McCarthy responded that the applicant has made contact with the neighbor. Motion was made to adjourn the public hearing. Moved: DelVecchio Seconded: Aridas Vote 7-0 5) The Reformed Church of the Tarrytowns, 430 North Broadway, Site improvements Continued public hearing The scope of the project is to improve the front entrance to the Old Dutch Church and to make it handicap accessible. Also included in the project are a new water line and the construction of a path through the Old Dutch Church burial ground. Chair Santo asked for a motion to open the public hearing. �Motion was made to open the public hearing. Moved: Aridas Seconded: DelVecchio Vote 7-0 Jeff Gargano, Pastor of the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow, introduced himself and thanked the members that attended the site visit earlier in the day. Pastor Gargano introduce Joanne Tall as the architect for the project and explained that her firm specializes in historic preservation projects and that she won an award for the preservation project at the Philipse Manor Train Station. Architect, Joanne Tall presented plans, a rendering and pictures of the Church and proposed work. Ms. Tall showed the landscape plan and described the material used for the paths. Ms. Tall outlined the review process and jurisdiction of the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Ms. Tall stated that the project was reviewed by Stacey Matson-Zuvic who issued a letter indicating that the project would have no adverse impacts on the National Landmark listed property and therefore no additional review by SHPO was required. Carl Aridas questioned how many paths are being constructed and which path will be used for wheelchair access. Joanne Tall described the proposed foot path to the drop off area near Lincoln Avenue and the topographical change at the front entrance. Chair Santo questioned if the paths could be constructed so they are less intrusive to the land and if the paths could be constructed without any excavation. Joanne Tall stated that originally the path material was specified as Poly-Pave, which has the appearance like dirt but is impervious, making compliance with the stormwater regulations difficult. The path material was revised to Flexi-Pave, a pervious surface which placement requires excavation of six inches. The path will be 36-40 inches wide to comply with accessibility requirements. Chair Santo questioned if two stairs were required from the new entrance platform. Joanne Tall replied that one stair would be asymmetrical and not complement the existing Church architecture. Clinton Smith questioned where the path to Lincoln Avenue is located. �Joanne Tall referred to the site plan and pointed out the location of the proposed path starting from the Church entrance, passing through the cemetery and connecting to Lincoln Avenue. Clinton Smith asked for clarification if the path crosses over grave sites or headstones. Joanne Tall confirmed that the path crosses over graves only. Gordon Swartz asked if gravel could be installed as path material for the connection up the hill to Washington Irving's plot since it is not anticipated that wheelchairs will use that route. Joanne Tall stated that the slope is steep but people may access Irving's plot using the path anyway. There was an open discussion regarding the maximum slope of the path to meet accessibility requirements. Gordon Swartz questioned if there are any other materials that could be used for the paths. Joanne Tall stated that they searched for a good-looking, durable, permeable, hard surface and the Poly-Pave material is the best option. Ms. Tall added that the material is used at the Medical College in Valhalla and at Arlington National Cemetery. Chair Santo questioned if a machine will be needed to excavate the ground. Ms. Santo said she was concerned that the old grave stones would get damaged. Engineer, William Lachenauer of Hudson Engineering & Consulting, P.C. replied that the machines used to install the paving will be small, rubber tire machines, operated by a person standing or walking behind the equipment. He added that a backhoe will not be necessary. Jim Logan, Superintendant of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, stated that the cemetery workers use a small John Deer machine to dig graves which can be maneuvered around the tight spaces in the cemetery and suggested a similar machine can be used to install the path. Mr. Logan added that he is in favor of the path connecting the Church property to Irving's site because it will reduce foot traffic on the grass and keep visitors on the path instead of wandering around the grave sites. Mr. Logan said it is important in a historic church yard to direct pedestrians where you want them to traverse in order to minimize foot traffic around the grave sites. Gordon Swartz reviewed the attachments received from the applicant, specifically the article, "Making Structures Accessible". Mr. Swartz stated that the project is a balancing test; how to provide accessibility to a historic structure using the smallest footprint. Mr. Swartz asked if the �size of the platform was designed to accommodate tourists or could it be smaller if it was only used by the congregation. Jim Logan stated that he is in favor of increasing tourism to the site as well as providing access for the congregation. Joanne Tall stated that she has followed the National Parks briefs which address how to deal with changing conditions at Historic Sites. Ms. Tall added that the project is needed so that the Church can adapt to the need for accessibility for the continued use as a church. Ms. Tall stated that the proposed work is reversible; the work can be removed and restored to the original condition and not change the historic fabric. There was an open discussion regarding the path material; the possible use of gravel and the proximity to the graves. Chair Santo stated that the path material does not look like it would be found in a 17th century Church yard. Gordon Swartz stated that the path material appears alien. Aubrey Hawes read an article by Village Historian Henry Steiner. Pastor Jeff Gargano handed out historic pictures of the Church. Pastor Gargano stated that the main reason for the path is to provide accessibility to the Church. The path leading to Irving's grave was added to the project to contribute to the Village and to make it easier for tourists making their way to the site. Pastor Gargano stated that the path to Irving's site can be eliminated from the project if the Board doesn't want it. Debra McHugh is a Deacon, parishioner, and a resident of Yonkers. Ms. McHugh described the mission of the Church and stated that worship is not limited to Sundays only; 50-100 people visit the Church each week. Clifton Steurer, 415 North Broadway, Sleepy Hollow, is a parishioner and stated that the existing path creates a bottleneck near the Church when tourists visit the site. Mr. Steurer stated that the new path in the Church yard will provide a way for visitors get through the property without interfering with Church services. Sara Mascia, Executive Director of the Historical Society serving Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown addressed the Board. Ms. Mascia stated that she would like to review all the documents submitted to SHPO and contact Stacey Matson-Zuvic directly to review the status of the �application. Ms. Mascia stated that the proposed front of the building looks overwhelming for a 17th century church. She also stated she is an archeologist and is concerned about digging a trench for the path so close to the graves. Ms. Mascia suggested that the path leading up the hill could be eliminated. George Kuntz is a parishioner and in charge of the properties committee. Mr. Kuntz stated that the Church is well aware of the historic nature of the property and how the property is supposed to look. Mr. Kuntz stated that the property has been appropriately maintained long before this project started. Jane Kuntz is a parishioner and stated that she remembers how the church looked like before the Department of Transportation changed Route 9 and took away the front of the property. Ms. Kuntz stated that the proposed entrance looks more like the building used to be. Wayne Yang Young is a parishioner and stated that size of the proposed entrance is based on the need and safety. Chair Santo confirmed with the applicant that they will be looking to receive a review letter from Sara Mascia, other options for the path material, and have the proposed platform staked out prior to the next meeting. Motion was made to adjourn the public hearing to the July 21, 2016 meeting. Moved: Aridas Seconded: Swartz Vote 7-0 6) Gina & Peter Gasperini, 3 Ridge Street, Proposed single-family residence - Preliminary presentation John Whalen of McCarthy LePage Architects represented the applicant. Mr. Whalen stated that the project is a proposed single family home located at 3 Ridge Street. The house is a modern design, two stories high and about 2,500 square feet. The garage is in the basement, bedrooms on the first floor and kitchen and living space on the second floor. Anthony DelVecchio asked what the lot size was. John Whalen replied that the lot is 6,671 square feet and the proposed house meets all of the zoning requirements. Chair Santo asked what materials will be used on the exterior of the house. �John Whalen replied that they are still researching the materials but he is leaning towards using composite siding. Mr. Whalen stated that all the materials and colors will be selected and presented at the next meeting. Carl Aridas asked if the garage is for two vehicles. John Whalen replied that the house will have a one car garage with a wide door. Carl Aridas asked if cars will need to back out of the property and how is the visibility entering onto Ridge Street. John Whalen stated that cars will need to back out of the driveway; the lot is only 50 feet wide which is too narrow to turn around. Mr. Whalen said there is no problem with sign visibility since Ridge Street is a dead end and there isn't much traffic. Carl Aridas asked if a tree survey was submitted. John Whalen responded that a survey will be completed and that there is one large oak tree that exists in the middle of the property that will have to be removed to construct the house. Motion was made to schedule a public hearing for July 21, 2016. Moved: DelVecchio Seconded: Swartz Vote 7-0 7) Edge-on-Hudson, 199 Beekman Avenue, Filling operations permit amendments Preliminary presentation Peter Johnson represented the application. The project is to amend a previously approved fill permit for 199 Beekman Avenue. The original plan was for the fill to be trucked onto the site. The applicant now would like to bring some fill in by barge, approximately 50,000-100,000 cubic yards. Each barge can hold 2,700 cubic yards compared to 27 cubic yards per truck load. Also being requested is permission to unload the barges starting at 7:00am. Mr. Johnson said that bringing in fill by barge will create less of an impact on the community by reducing truck traffic. Gordon Swartz questioned where the material will be coming from and will it be inspected. Peter Johnson replied that the material will be coming two sites in the City but they are searching for material from multiple sources. Mr. Johnson said that the material is tested before it leaves the source location and again while it's on the barge before it's off loaded. �Gordon Swartz questioned what type of equipment will be used to off load the barges and will the noise level impact the residents at Ichabod's Landing. Peter Johnson replied that a backhoe excavator will be required to unload the barge. Mr. Johnson referred to the site plan to show how far away the proposed barge operation will be located from Ichabod's Landing. Gordon Swartz questioned how long the barging will take. Peter Johnson replied that it will take 20 weeks to bring in 100,000 cubic yards. Mr. Johnson stated that the original permit specified that the concrete demolition would only take place in the Phase I site area, however, the contractor would like to demolish, process, and stockpile all of the existing concrete at one time. Motion was made to schedule a public hearing for July 21, 2016. Moved: Swartz Seconded: McCarthy Vote 7-0 8) Marcos Lozano, 30 Andrews Lane, Proposed Town house development - Preliminary presentation Jonathan Villani from Jonathan Villani & Associates, Inc. is representing the applicant. Mr. Villani described the scope of work which includes the demolition of the existing two-family residence and the construction of 12 townhouses. Mr. Villani stated that the units will be twostories and approximately 1,200 square feet with a garage. The project complies with all zoning requirements except building coverage. Ed McCarthy questioned how many existing parking spaces are on the property that will be eliminated due to the project. Jonathan Villani replied that the project will have 24 spaces based on the zoning requirements. Ed McCarthy stated he was concerned about where the existing cars will be relocated. Mr. McCarthy stated that the parking in the neighborhood is a problem; a lot of people use Barnhardt Park and the Senior Center causing street parking to be minimal. Carl Aridas stated he was concerned with the density of the project; increasing the number of residential units from 2 to 12, extra cars and traffic will be a challenge. Clinton Smith stated that the Board may want to know where the existing off street cars will be displaced. Gordon Swartz stated that the project is very dense and suggested that the applicant come back to the Planning Board with a revised plan before applying to the Zoning Board of Appeals. �Jonathan Villani agreed to review the comments and return to the Planning Board at the next meeting. 9) Yvonne Adams, 138 Webber Avenue, Tree removal appeal- Discussion The applicant was not present. Francois Rejeili addressed the Board and stated that he met with the property owner adjacent to the requested tree to be removed. Mr. Rejeili stated that the owner agreed to trim the Maple tree on their property that was harming the Pin Oak. Mr. Rejeili also met with Ms. Adams and said she agreed to keep the Pin Oak and trim the trees to the south. Mr. Rejeili asked the Board to deny the requested appeal. Hugh Jones stated that the Norwegian Maple is an invasive species.

Sleepy Hollow Local Development Corporation, Chairman David Schroedel represented the application. The Sleepy Hollow Local Development Corporation (SHLDC) would like to sell a portion of the old General Motors East Parcel property to Metro North. Metro North has existing train track sidings located on the East Parcel and would like to continue to use them. Metro North currently has a lease agreement with the SHLDC for use of these tracks, but would prefer to own the property. A deal between the SHLDC and Metro North has been reached for the sale of this property. In order to sell the property it must be sub-divided. Metro North would also need an easement to access the tracks for maintenance. Mr. Schroedel provided the Board with a copy of a survey of the property and proposed subdivision. The property being sub-divided is approximately 1.4 acres. Mr. Swartz asked if it were possible for Metro North to just lease the property as opposed to buying it. Mr. Schroedel said the Metro North is only interested in purchasing the property. There was a discussion about creating a buffer to block the tracks from view. There was a question regarding whether the sub-division would have an impact on the redevelopment plans for the East Parcel. Mr. Schroedel said that a draft concept plan has been created in anticipation of the sub-division and so there will be no impact. The Board had concerns about potential structures being put on the site. Clinton Smith said that the Planning Board could impose conditions to address these issues.

At the last Planning Board meeting, the Board requested that the applicant provide proof that the neighbor will grant permission to complete this work. There was a discussion about whether or not the Village has an easement along this portion of the property. It is believed that there is no easement. It was recommended that the Village acquire an easement in order to maintain the storm water pipe. The Board felt that the matter should be adjourned until permission from the neighbor is confirmed. The applicant asked if it were possible to start other work on the property. Clinton Smith said not until the site improvements are approved. Chair Santo solicited comments from the public.

Village Historian, Henry Steiner read a statement against the project (attached). Mr. Steiner believes that the plans do not relate to the preservation or restoration of the Old Dutch Church. He asked that the Planning Board discuss this matter with Sara Mascia who runs the Sleepy Hollow/Tarrytown Historical Society. Ms. Tall responded to Mr. Steiner's comments by saying that the State has approved the plan and that access to historic sites is important. Mr. Swartz asked if Mr. Steiner was ever contacted while the plans were being designed. Ms. Tall said that Mr. Steiner supported the grant request, but was not involved in the design. Mr. Brennan asked if the Village Historian has to approve these types of projects. Clinton Smith responded by saying no, his role is only advisory.

Mr. Lerner explained that the Zegarelli's have an access easement and currently have to drive thru their neighbor's property to get to their parking area. Mr. Lerner said that the proposed location of the garage in the existing parking area will eliminate the need for the Zegarelli's to cross over the neighbor's property and reduce the amount of impervious surface by 842 square feet. Chairwoman Santo asked Mr. Lerner to describe the architectural design of the garage. Tim Lerner stated that the garage has been designed to match and compliment the architecture of the existing house. He said the roofing and siding materials will be consistent Mathew Brennan asked how the storm water system would work. Tim Lerner referred to the site plan drawing and stated that the unused parking area and driveway would be removed reducing the overall impervious area. The roof drainage and area in front of the garage will be collected in catch basins, piped below the driveway, and dispersed on the property towards the south side. Mathew Brennan questioned if the driveway access from Webber Avenue was going to change. Tim Lerner replied that no work was proposed to the driveway entrance on Webber Avenue. He added that the driveway section behind the neighbor's property will be removed creating more parking area for the neighbor. Philip Zegarelli gave a history or the property ownership, use, and easement description. Mathew Brennan asked if the work would change the easement and if the neighbor signed off on the work. Philip Zegarelli replied that he discussed the work with the neighbor and he was sent a notice for the meeting. Mr. Zegarelli stated the he was financially responsible for the stone bridge and that the work will not adversely affect the neighbor's access. Gordon Swartz asked if the easement was vested.

Gordon Swartz clarified that the neighbor has an easement over the Zegarelli bridge and the Zegarelli's have an easement through the neighbors property and that the Zegarelli's would not lose the easement if they no longer use it. Phil Zegarelli replied that the easements will still exist, that they are complimentary, not linked. �Mathew Brennan asked if the utility services to the other two properties will be affected during the construction. Philip Zegarelli described the different utilities that pass through his property and replied that the services are separate and that the work will not interfere with them.
