Franceso Alesci, 135 Beekman Avenue, Proposed multi-family building, Site Plan 1 (12/22/22) �Approval- continued public hearing Motion was made to open the public hearing. Moved: Krakauer Seconded: Carney Vote 4-0 Maximillian Mahalek stated that he is an attorney with Cuddy + Feder LLP representing the applicant. Mr. Mahelek stated that the December 8, 2022 submission addresses the Board’s and the consultants concerns from the November 17, 2022 meeting related to parking, lighting and stormwater runoff. Mr. Mahalek stated that the request received to include a three-bedroom unit, and changing the building front yard setback were not included due to physical building location constraints and lack of Zoning regulations. Mr. Mahalek stated that the proposed building complies with the Zoning Code for the lower Beekman Avenue area. The additional renderings, aerial views, and elevations drawings submitted address the concerns received from David Smith and James Natarelli. Mr. Mahalek stated that the proposed increased building length will have a minimal impact on the neighborhood. Mr. Mahalek stated that they added the leader drainpipes and they lowered the site lighting fixture heights to 14 feet. The applicant would agree to a condition to add shielding to the lighting fixtures if needed. Mr. Mahalek summarized how the proposed application complies with Site Plan and ARB requirements as they relate to the Village Code requirements. Mr. Mahalek requested that the Board close the public hearing and move to draft a resolution of approval. Christopher Barbagli is the architect representing the applicant. Mr. Barbagli stated that they added a fourth parking space back along Beekman Avenue by creating four spaces that would be 19’6” in length. They are unable to move the building back because it would interfere with the parking configurations. Mr. Barbagli stated that the stair shown in the engineering drawings was not necessary and that the revised drawings are accurate with the architectural drawings. The updated aerial renderings and elevation drawings demonstrate where the proposed building would extend back an additional 15 feet. David Smith asked Mr. Barbagli why the applicant is proposing the increased building length. Mr. Barbagli stated that they needed to relocate two one-bedroom apartments to the back of the building in order to construct the gym amenity on the first floor. Mr. Barbagli stated that only the rear elevation would change. Mr. Barbagli summarized the changes to the lighting fixtures and the drainage for the porches. James Natarelli asked if the proposed lighting fixture specifications include an option for glare shields. Mr. Barbagli stated that they would use a third-party shield if necessary and that the proposed lighting fixtures are code compliant. Mr. Natarelli stated that the concern relates to the visibility of the light fixtures from other properties and suggested that they determine if the fixture specified has manufacturer shield capabilities. Mr. Barbagli stated that they he will research the availability of lighting fixtures that have the option for a shield for light spill over. 2 (12/22/22) �Acting Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the Board. Benjamin Nielsen asked Mr. Barbagli to describe how the proposed architectural design minimizes the scale of the proposed building in relation to the smaller neighboring buildings. Mr. Barbagli stated that the proposed building is to scale with the properties’ large site. The building design is in keeping with the character of the neighborhood and that the use of a mansard roof will bring the scale and the height of the building down. Mr. Nielsen asked if there are façade transition materials that they could use to improve the visual aesthetics of the building mass. Acting Chairperson Krakauer suggested that the applicant use some material and color variations to articulate dimension to the building façade specifically in the east side elevation where the tower is showing continuous siding. Erin Carney suggested that the applicant rework the rooflines at the two vertical tower elements to create more variation in the design of the façade. Acting Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant provide details on the proposed roof railings and to resolve the discrepancies related to the columns. Ms. Krakauer asked if there is equipment proposed on the roof. Mr. Barbagli stated that there would be condensers on the roof and that a sitting area is proposed. Mr. Nielsen asked Mr. Barbagli to describe the location for the proposed rooftop sitting area and asked if there will be railings around it. Mr. Barbagli stated that the proposed rooftop sitting area would be in the back rear of the building with railings around it. Ms. Carney requested that Mr. Barbagli provide consistent elevations drawings that show how the balconies will sit on the building. Mr. Mahalek requested that the Board incorporate their comments from the Work Session, and send to the applicant team to address with Sean McCarthy and the Village consultants at an upcoming meeting. Acting Chairperson Krakauer suggested adding a window in the stairwell to provide more light, and stated that the Board has concerns related to the parking spots and appropriate signage. Ms. Krakauer asked Sean McCarthy to explain the issue with the accessible parking spot near the rubbish alcove. Mr. McCarthy stated that the access isle at the accessible parking spot is required to be 8 feet wide. 3 (12/22/22) �Mr. Nielsen questioned how the curved area of the rooflines relate to the balconies along the west side elevation. Mr. Barbagli stated that the drawing should depict a straight vertical shingled wall at the balconies. The shingled roof will slope down on either end of the balcony. Mr. McCarthy requested that Mr. Barbagli submit a section through the mansard roof and properly detail that area. Mr. McCarthy stated that the Board will not consider having shingles or siding on a vertical roof surface. Acting Chairperson Krakauer suggested that the applicant consider adding more landscaping features to the part of the driveway that is a one-way traffic area into the parking lot. Mr. McCarthy stated that the site plan scales the one-way width of the driveway as 16 feet. The applicant could reduce the width in that area to reconfigure the diagonal parking spaces along the driveway or to add landscaping on one or both sides. Mr. Mahalek asked Mr. McCarthy how narrow the driveway could be to comply with standards. Mr. McCarthy suggested that applicant discuss the options with their traffic consultant. Mr. Barbagli asked Mr. McCarthy to confirm that the front of the driveway needs to be 20 feet wide. Mr. McCarthy stated that the driveway should be a wide as possible where there is two-way traffic. Acting Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the Board and the consultants. There were no additional comments from the Board or the consultants. Acting Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the public. Anne White lives at 1010 Kendal Way. Ms. White stated that the proposed enlargement of the building is not a minor change and that it will have significant impact on the surrounding area. The rear yards of the properties on Kendall Avenue will face the building and the parking lot. The developer was aware that the owners along Kendall Avenue felt that the height and length of the building would affect their homes, particularly casting shadows on their backyards. Since the Village amended the Zoning Code, this issue is no longer against the Village Code. The applicant is proposing to add an additional 16 feet to the back of the building and this will be an exasperating impact on the small homes on Kendall Avenue. Ms. White stated that the noise from the rooftop seating area would be disruptive to the neighboring properties late at night. Ms. White stated that there is a large tree shown on the rendering for the north side in front of the building on Beekman Avenue that she thinks is critical. The list of planting materials submitted does not indicate a tree of the same size proposed. Ms. White requested that the Village Tree Officer be involved in selecting a tree that will have a large tree pit so that it continues the line of large trees. The existing house contains three low to moderate rentals. The developers stated a 4 (12/22/22) �couple times that they would agree to have three apartments in the new building that would be approximately equal in rent and hopes that this promise can be part of the approval. There were no further comments from the public. Mr. Mahalek stated the proposed building massing is Zoning compliant and there are no variances required. The proposed rooftop space will adhere to the Village’s noise and lighting requirements and that the Village has the ability to enforce the regulations. In regards to the trees, the Village has its requirements for tree enforcement. The landscape plans are incorporated into the site plan and will adhere to the rules and provisions associated with the removal and planting of trees at all elevations. Mr. Mahalek stated the applicant has not made any promises in terms of the rental pricing of the units. There are no affordable housing requirements in the Village Code applicable to the site. Under New York Law, the Planning Board looks at the application to review what it proposed what impact it would have on the neighborhood. The applicant sets the rental prices and it is not in the purview of the Planning Board. Mr. Mahalek requested that the Board close the public hearing since there will be no changes that will materially impact the community. Mr. Mahalek stated that if the Board wishes to keep the public hearing open, he requested that the Board direct staff to prepare a draft resolution for the next meeting. Joshua Subin stated that the rooftop space is not just subject to Village Code enforcement policies and can result in civil complaints against the applicant for noise or nuisance. Mr. Mahalek stated that buildings can also have their own set of rules and regulations that they may enforce and that the applicant is willing to work with the Village to make sure that it doesn’t become an issue. Motion was made to continue the public hearing to the January19, 2023 meeting and to direct staff to prepare a draft resolution. Moved: Krakauer Seconded: Carney Vote 4-0 2. 46 Hudson St., LLC, 46 Hudson Street, Proposed three-family residence, Site Plan approval – continued public hearing The application was adjourned to the January 19, 2023 meeting. No action was taken. 3. Gabe Realty Corp., 305 North Washington Street, Proposed three-family residence, Site Plan Approval – Requested adjournment The applicant has requested an adjournment to the January 19, 2023 meeting. No action was taken. 4. Hudson Pines, LLC, 180 Bedford Road, Amended Site Plan approval- Requested adjournment 5 (12/22/22) �The applicant has requested an adjournment to the January 19, 2023 meeting. No action was taken. 5. Marcelo Poguio, 95 College Avenue, Proposed one-story rear addition, Amended Site Plan approval - Preliminary presentation Steven Costa is the engineer representing the applicant. Mr. Costa stated that the property was originally an auto repair shop and converted into a grocery store in 2012. The application proposes to construct a walk-in box addition in the rear northwest corner of the property at College and Valley Street that will be accessible from the loading area at the north side of the building structure. The proposed addition is a masonry structure that is 10 feet wide by 12 feet long, and 10 feet high with stucco finishes to match the existing building. There are no proposed lighting changes and the addition will be constructed on top of an existing paved area. A roof gutter is proposed to collect water and bring it down to the paved area at grade. Because the property has a high water table, they are unable to install cultecs for the drainage. The proposed addition is Zoning compliant and will not require variances. The proposed addition will be located near an existing parking lot and will be visually hidden from neighboring properties. Acting Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Costa to describe the purpose of the proposed addition. Mr. Costa stated that the Board of Health has requested that the applicant store seafood and meats separate from the other items for the store. Benjamin Nielsen asked Mr. Costa if there will be additional mechanical elements required for the addition. Mr. Costa stated that the compressor units will be located on top of the roof in a parapet that is not visible from the street. Acting Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Costa how the addition will be accessed. Mr. Costa stated that there will be exterior entrance door on the outside of the walk-in box. The addition will not be accessible from the inside of the main building. Acting Chairperson Krakauer suggested that Mr. Costa confirm that the existing lighting will be adequate for access at night. Mr. Costa stated that there is existing hood lighting on the side and the rear of the structure. The applicant will install additional lighting if Sean McCarthy determines that it is required upon the construction of the addition. Mr. Nielsen solicited comments from James Natarelli regarding the stormwater management. Mr. Natarelli stated that the application does not propose to add additional impervious surface. Mr. Natarelli asked Mr. Costa where the main building drains discharge and asked if the new addition could tie in with existing drainage system. 6 (12/22/22) �Mr. Costa stated that he is not sure but believes that there are interior roof drains sloped towards the center of the building. There was a discussion between Mr. Costa and Mr. Natarelli regarding the existing drop curb at the frontage on Valley Street. Acting Chairperson Krakauer stated that the proposed application seems straight forward and solicited comments from Mr. McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy stated that the Board has the discretion to waive the public hearing as a minor site plan amendment and vote to direct staff to draft a resolution for the January meeting. Mr. Nielsen asked Mr. Costa to describe the adjacent properties. Mr. Costa stated that there is a parking lot and an adjacent delicatessen business to the west of the applicant’s property and multi-family residences to the north of the building. Motion was made to waive the public hearing and to direct staff to prepare a draft resolution for approval at the January 19, 2023.

Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development Phase II - Waterfront Open Space, Site Plan & Wetlands Watercourse Permit ApprovalPresentation The applicant has requested an adjournment to the January 19, 2023 meeting. No action was taken. 7. Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development Block H- Amended Site Plan and Final ARB approval- Presentation Craig Tompkins stated that he is an associate of Biddle Real Estate Ventures, LLC. Mr. Tompkins stated that they received approval in February of 2022 that permitted them to go forward with the Block H building. The approval resolution contained stipulations and requirements in order to receive Building Permit approvals. Mr. Tompkins stated that Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC hired two members of the Hines Development team to build the Block H building for them. Elizabeth Darby is the Vice President of Construction for Hines. Ms. Darby presented a video to show the status of the Block H Building Site. Ms. Darby stated that there were eighteen (18) 7 (12/22/22) �conditions included in the February 22, 2022 approved Amended Site Plan and Limited ARB resolution. Ms. Darby stated that the submission addresses all of the outstanding items. Eight (8) of the outstanding conditions are required prior to the issuance of the Building Permit. Ms. Darby stated that an agreement is required between Sleepy Hollow Residences, LLC at Block F, the future Block K developer, and LL Parcel H, LLC in order to satisfy the parking requirements for the Block H building. They submitted preliminary parking agreements for review. They are working with their legal team to address the comments received from the Building Department. Ms. Darby stated that they are working on how to designate the the forty-five (45) public spaces. Ms. Darby requested that the Planning Board defer the signage requirements from the issuance of the Building Permit and allow them to file separate signage permits in order to coordinate with the signage consultants, the master developer, and to receive opinions from the future retailers that will occupy spaces. Ms. Darby stated that an updated logistics plan has been submitted for review by the Building Department. Benjamin Nielsen asked Sean McCarthy how the Village has handled way-finding signage in other developments. Mr. McCarthy stated that way-finding signage has not been applicable to other developments in the Village. Since parking requirements for one development Block are being shared with other development Blocks, there needs to be mechanisms to direct the residents and the public. Ms. Darby stated that they submitted a final utilities plan for review and approval as part of the Building Permit application submission. All review and permit application fees have been paid. Ms. Darby stated that as part of the final landscape plan, they are proposing to use architectural metal screening in lieu of landscaping to hide utility equipment and to provide the required locations and accessibility for Con Edison. Mr. Nielsen questioned why they are proposing metal screening instead of material that would match the façade of the building. Ms. Darby stated that the proposed metal screening would coordinate with the metal railings proposed along the front of the façade and that they are using similar metal screening for the mechanical equipment on the rooftop. The screening has to provide a gate access for the utility companies. David Smith asked Ms. Darby to display the proposed graphics of the metal screening. Ms. Darby presented an elevation drawing that detailed the proposed screening. Mr. Nielsen requested that Ms. Darby provide a full elevation and a rendering for the proposed metal screening due to the location and visibility along Westward Drive. Ms. Darby stated that she would submit a full elevation drawing and a rendering for the metal screening for the Boards review. Ms. Darby stated that the landscape plan details the additional landscaping that will be installed between Westward Drive and Ichabod’s Landing. Ms. Darby stated that in response to the 10/14/22 consulting engineer’s memo, they are working on revising the peak flow rate of the county manhole and the sanitary sewer report. Ms. Darby stated that they relocated the grease trap to the inside of the garage and out of the right-of-way. They 8 (12/22/22) �relocated the fire department connection to above the water meter room and away from the building façade. The proposed ventilation area on Westward Drive was moved further south so it is setback from the property line and the sidewalk, and set behind the screening, and not visible. They will remove the sanitary manhole on Horseman Boulevard and reroute to filter down to the sanitary manhole on Westward Drive. Acting Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the Planning Board, consultants, or the Building Department. Acting Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Boards’ main concern is how the public street parking spaces will be managed because if residents have to rent and pay for their parking spots, what will preclude them from using the street parking spaces for free, and then limiting the parking spaces available for visitors. Ms. Darby stated that they would like to continue their discussions with the Building Department staff and legal teams to finalize the parking agreements while having Building Permits issued. Mr. McCarthy stated that the signage requirements can be deferred as a condition of the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy, Joshua Subin suggested that the parking agreements could be subject to approval from him and Mr. McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy stated that the Board might want the opportunity to weigh in on the parking terms and the directions to other locations. Acting Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Smith how the Board would work the signage requirements into a resolution and asked the Board if they are comfortable directing staff to draft a resolution. Mr. Smith stated that they could revise the signage requirements to be condition required before the issuance of a temporary or final Certificate of Occupancy. Mr. Smith asked Mr. Tompkins if the utility landscape screening at Ichabod’s Landing is part of the application. Mr. Tompkins stated that they plan to complete the landscape utility screening at Ichabod’s Landing in the Spring. Mr. McCarthy stated that the Board has requested to see additional details on the metal utility screening, the parking agreements, and the final sanitary sewer report. Acting Chairperson Krakauer suggested that the applicant prepare responses for the next meeting. Ms. Darby asked if the sanitary sewer report is a requirement of the Building Permit issuance. James Natarelli stated that the reason that they are asking that the sewer report be completed prior to issuing the Building Permit is because the Block H building and another building are tributary to a manhole where the pipes leading to it are running close to capacity. In the previous 9 (12/22/22) �approval, the Health Department capped off how much wastewater the developer could send to those pipes. The Boards needs to see if any change to bedroom counts or spaces would increase the amount of wastewater going to the pipes. Ms. Darby stated that the applicant reduced the number of apartments in Block H so the demand should be sufficient for the Health Department. Mr. Nielsen stated that the elevations for the proposed metal screening detail is not just important to consider in the relation to the Block H building but how it would interact with the public space. Ms. Darby stated that the proposed screening would be located on a short distance after the Block H garage entrance and will be not be visible from the park or the River Walk area. Acting Chairperson Krakauer asked Ms. Darby if they considered adding additional plantings along the metal screening. Ms. Darby stated that there would not be room to add additional landscaping and still provide the utility clearance access that Con Edison requires. Mr. Tompkins stated that since the streets currently do not have parking regulations, residents from Northlight are using street parking and not moving their cars. When the Village takes over the street and activates the alternate side parking regulations, there will be more residents willing to pay for parking. Mr. Tompkins stated that it will take approximately two years to build the Block H building and they anticipate occupancy in the third quarter of 2024. Mr. Tompkins asked if the issuance of the Building Permit is pending the approval of a resolution. Mr. McCarthy stated that the current resolution of approval stands until the Planning Board votes to change it. Mr. McCarthy suggested that the Board could approve revisions to the time line of the some of the condition requirements that are not design related. The sanitary sewer report is the only condition that is required to address before issuing the Building Permit. Mr. Nielsen asked Mr. McCarthy if the Building Department is ready to issue a Building Permits. Mr. McCarthy stated that it would be some time before the developer would be constructing the utility screening and parking spaces, and that any significant changes to the design would not alter the work related to the foundation and other pertinent permits required at the beginning of the project. The Board and the consultants had a discussion on which conditions the Board could amend on the resolution in order to issue the Building Permit. Mr. McCarthy stated that the Board could vote to approve amending the language on the adopted resolution and to direct staff to draft a confirmatory resolution. Motion was made to amend the February 17, 2022 resolution of approval modifying condition #5 to require submission of the revised Sanitary Sewer report prior to the issuance of a Building 10 (12/22/22) �Permit, and to modify condition # 3 and #4 requiring that the shared the parking agreements and way-finding signage to be satisfied on or before the March 16, 2023 meeting.

Minor changes have been made to the proposed application in order to comply with the new Zoning Code. Mr. Mahalek stated that the proposed application would not cause an adverse environmental impact on the neighborhood as it relates to Zoning Compliance, the amount of parking provided, and the provisions of landscaping and usable open space. The proposed architecture reflects the nature of some of the surrounding structures. The stormwater plans comply with the requirements for stormwater management. Mr. Mahalek requested that the Board close the public hearing and grant Site Plan approval. 2 (11/17/22) �Christopher Barbagli is the architect representing the applicant. Mr. Barbagli stated the proposed changes include increasing the length of the building by 16 feet in order to add the fitness center back into the first floor. The fitness center will include changing rooms, bathrooms, and a refreshment center. Two one-bedroom apartments were relocated to the second floor and third floors. The rear and east elevations were revised to accommodate the new unit layouts, three outside parking spaces were moved to under the building, and the trash enclosure was moved to allow for an additional parking space. There are no changes proposed to the roof or the front elevation. Mr. Barbagli presented revised renderings to show the longer building viewed from the street and how the proposed building will look in relation the size of the property. Mr. Mahalek solicited questions from the Board. Chairperson Hsu asked if the increased building length would affect the proposed outdoor amenities. Mr. Barbagli stated that the outdoor space would not change as it is in the back of the property. David Smith asked Mr. Barbagli to demonstrate where the commercial district is located in relation to the property. Mr. Barbagli demonstrated on the aerial view rendering where the commercial and residential districts are located in relation to the property and the proposed building. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Barbagli if the proposed building length increase is now adjacent to the residential district neighboring properties. Ms. Harries stated that the previous site plan proposed the building to be entirely in the commercial district. Mr. Barbagli stated that the proposed building would extend 10 feet into the residential district. Rachelle Gebler asked Sean McCarthy if moving the building 10 feet adjacent to the residential district effects the required rear yard setback. Sean McCarthy stated that the adjoining residential district does not affect the rear yard setback on the applicant’s property. Although it reduces the proposed setback, they still meet the setback requirements. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Barbagli how the increased building size effects the proposed floor area coverage. Mr. Barbagli stated that the permitted floor area ratio is 1.4 floor and the proposed building has a floor area ratio of .85 to .95. Kersten Harries requested the architect submit the revised renderings to the Board. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Barbagli if alterations to the existing driveway are required and how it will affect the street parking. 3 (11/17/22) �Mr. Barbagli stated that the larger curb cut would eliminate (1) street parking space. Mr. McCarthy suggested that Mr. Barbagli provide a compact parking space. Mr. Barbagli stated that he would check to see if providing a compact parking space is possible. Ms. Harries requested that Mr. Barbagli be sensitive to the lighting levels on the eastern side as per the concerns received from neighboring property owners. Ben Nielsen asked Mr. Barbagli to explain how the diagonal parking spaces will be utilized and asked if there are garage doors for the under building parking. Mr. Barbagli demonstrated on the site plan how the parking turning radius work and stated that the parking area under the building is open. Chairperson Hsu stated that there has been extensive discussions on the parking layout and the traffic flow, including the accessible spots. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the public. There were no comments from the public. James Natarelli stated that there is a difference between the architect’s site plan and the engineer’s site plan as it relates to the connection from the front patio to the sidewalk. Mr. Natarelli asked Mr. Barbagli to confirm if a secondary set of stairs is proposed. Mr. Barbagli stated that he would review with the engineer and confirm if the set of stairs are required. James Natarelli asked if the building’s front balconies are open and not proposed to have a roof, and if they are installing scuppers to capture the runoff and to avoid water going onto the sidewalk. Mr. Barbagli stated that the front balconies will be open and that they propose to have scuppers and leaders to capture the runoff. Kersten Harries asked how far the adjacent neighboring buildings are from the proposed building. Ms. Harries suggested that the proposed building be aligned or behind the neighboring buildings and not projecting in front of them. Ben Nielsen asked Mr. Barbagli to explain why the windows are different on the east elevation side. Mr. Barbagli stated that he designed the windows for circulation because the east elevation contains two staircases, the elevator, and the trash room. Ms. Harries suggested that the applicant consider providing three-bedroom apartments, and stated that although it may affect the unit count, there is a great demand for them. 4 (11/17/22) �Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Barbagli if the applicant has considered the rental pricing for the apartment units. Mr. Mahalek stated that pricing of rental apartments is not the purview of the Planning Board. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Board previously discussed rental pricing with the applicant. David Smith stated that the applicant had committed to having three of the apartments with comparable rental prices to the three existing units.

Mr. Mahalek requested that the Board close the public hearing so they can focus on the getting the plans ready for Site Plan approval. Chairperson Hsu stated that the application proposes a significant development on lower Beekman Avenue, which is a prominent street in the Village. Since there has been such a large gap in time since the public was involved, the Board suggests keeping the public hearing open one more month so that members of the public have the opportunity to comment on the changes to the application. Kersten Harries agreed that the proposed changes are significant enough where the Board needs time to review them and that the public should have an opportunity to comment. Mr. Mahalek asked if the applicant is required to re-notice the public hearing. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Board is not requiring the applicant to re-notice the public hearing. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Mahalek if the applicant would be ready for Architectural Review Board review because the Board would prefer to grant one approval. Motion was made to adjourn the public hearing to the December 22, 2022 meeting. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Gebler Vote 5-0 3. 46 Hudson St., LLC, 46 Hudson Street, Proposed three-family residence, Site Plan Approval – Referred to the ZBA Chairperson Hsu stated that the Board referred the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals. The applicant will be appearing at the December 22, 2022 meeting for a public hearing pending approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals on December 21, 2022. No action was taken. 4. Gabe Realty Corp., 305 North Washington Street, Proposed three-family residence, Site Plan Approval - Requested adjournment 5 (11/17/22) �Chairperson Hsu stated that the applicant has requested an adjournment to the December 22, 2022 meeting. No action was taken. 5. Hudson Pines, LLC, 180 Bedford Road, Amended Site Plan Approval- Preliminary Presentation- Requested adjournment Chairperson Hsu stated that the applicant has requested an adjournment to the December 22, 2022 meeting. No action was taken. 6. Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development Phase II - Waterfront Open Space, Site Plan & Wetlands Watercourse Permit ApprovalPreliminary presentation Andrew Tung is an associate with DTS Provident Engineering representing the applicant. Mr. Tung stated that when they presented Phase I of the Waterfront Open Space in 2020, there was a master plan for the entire space that wraps around the site. The waterfront open space consists of three components, which include the Promenade, the Overlook, and Palisades Green. As part of Phase I, the Promenade and the Overlook were constructed and recently opened. Phase II includes Palisades Green as well as its extension eastward into the third section of Tappan Zee Park, and the eastern border in the space between Hollows Pass and the Kingsland Point Park buffer. Lanie McKinnon is a landscape architect from Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects representing the applicant. Ms. McKinnon presented the proposed site plan and stated that within the Palisades Green, there are separate components of the Phase II waterfront open space. The Lighthouse Terrace will be a gathering space that will have a continuous view to the lighthouse through the development. The Palisades Green will be a big open recreational lawn that allows for picnics. The proposed Cove will provide access for waterfront kayak use. The eastern part of Tappan Zee Park will contain a more calm lawn space and more robust plantings since it will be in between housing. Phase II also proposes three circles with historical references. The Woodland Circle and the Meadows Circle designs propose ideas of nature play and exploration. The Lawn Circle provides views of the waterfront. Ms. McKinnon presented renderings and described the natural materials, paths, art, and landscaping proposed for the circle areas. Ms. McKinnon stated that an interactive fountain is intended as part of the Boathouse Interpretive Center future phase of the Waterfront. They propose to use the same benches and lighting installed in Phase I to provide easier maintenance methods. Rachelle Gebler asked if this plan includes the plan for the Interpretive Center or just the landscaping. Ms. McKinnon stated that they have not designed the Boathouse. The design will be a part of the Block Q performance. They discussed and sited the location of the Boathouse with the Public Space Council in order to make sure that the views in the park stay open. 6 (11/17/22) �Chairperson Hsu asked if the Public Space Council is still doing requirements gathering for the functions of the Boat House Interpretive Center. Peter Chavkin is a Managing Member of Biddle Real Estate Ventures on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Chavkin stated that they have had discussions with the Public Space Council on what the functions of the Boathouse Interpretive Center will be and the he does not think they have reached a final determination. Mr. Chavkin stated that they are seeking to accelerate the development and construction of the Waterfront Open Space. They are holding off on the center because of limited resources but acknowledged that the Boathouse Interpretive Center is a commitment and a requirement of the Special Permit. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Chavkin to confirm the projected timeframe for Phase II. Mr. Chavkin stated that certain aspects would start immediately as the Kingsland Point Park buffer is a requirement for Certificates of Occupancy in Block O&P. The third section of Tappan Zee Park is a requirement for Certificates of Occupancy in the Block O&P building that fronts the space. Mr. Chavkin stated that they have applied for grant funding from Empire State Development in order to accelerate the other part of the waterfront open space. They plan to start construction next year. Rachelle Gebler asked Ms. McKinnon to explain where the access path is from the circle to Kingsland Point Park. Ms. McKinnan located the path at the roundabout on the Site Plan. Peter Chavkin stated that the path is designed as an emergency access connection requirement coming off the roundabout heading into Kingsland Point Park. The access path would remain closed with a fence going into the Park and that the intention will be for emergency services. The Public Space Council stated that their important design objective was to have one means of pedestrian access at the existing entrance of Kingsland Point Park. If the Board wants this path to be accessible for a pedestrian connection, they will do so. Rachelle Gebler stated that it would be very useful to be able to get from that side of the development into Kingsland Point Park. David Smith stated that there seems to be a disconnect from some of what the Public Space Council has provided for guidance and the official policy documents that the Village has because it clearly shows on the Riverfront Development Concept Plan that there will be a pedestrian walkway to the Park from the roundabout. There are similar issues documented in his memo that will need ironing out with the Board. Benjamin Nielsen stated the Kingsland Point Park site and the Waterfront are not well connected. Mr. Neilson asked if the primary focus of the Kingsland buffer area is stormwater retention treatment. Peter Chavkin stated that the topography of the buffer area has to be kept low for FEMA flood level requirements in order to handle potential floodwaters from the Pocantico River over topping the train tracks and that the meadow area had to be kept low. Their original vision was to 7 (11/17/22) �build the meadow area up and to provide more of a seamless connection between the open space and Kingsland Point Park. Mr. Nielsen suggested providing more of a looping access through the Cove around Kingsland Point Park, and suggested a boardwalk style pathway through the park. Ms. McKinnon stated that they designed the pathways at grade to avoid washing out from water flow. Peter Chavkin stated that they have design restraints because Westchester County owns Kingsland Point Park and the Village of Sleepy Hollow manages it. Mr. Chavkin stated that they are open to working with the County to help with enhanced connections. Chairperson Hsu suggested that Ben review the drawings for the Sleepy Hollow Commons and stated that they show more context for the reasons why they designed the plans for the Wetlands. David Smith stated that as part of the Boat House Interpretive Center, there was a plan for a transient boat dock. Mr. Smith asked Peter Chavkin if the transient boat dock will be included in the future proposal, or if it will not be a part of the overall proposal. Peter Chavkin stated that the transient boat dock in the North Cove is not part of their overall plan. The dock on the southern face and the fishing pier elements are a part of the plan. While they were working with the Public Space Council one of the key direction points was the location of the Boat House. Peter stated that in the Riverfront Design Concept Plan, the consultants focused on siting the location of the Boathouse and preserving the views. When they finalized the location, it was most important to create a pathway to provide access to the water for activities. When they submitted their original application, they had proposed to expand the Cove beach area, but it was rejected by various regulatory agencies. David Smith stated that the walk-in access from the water to the Boat House and the transient boat dock launch element is a critical piece of the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program for providing waterfront access for independent uses. Not allowing the public additional access to the waterfront is a deficiency in the plan. Peter Chavkin stated that he would review the history of the Village documents. Peter Chavkin stated that they have their approval for the Phase I docks but that they missed the window for this year to start construction and that they will have to wait until September 1st through October 31st of next year. Ben Nielsen asked Peter Chavkin if the Boathouse use would include the availability to rent slips and or have rentals and deliveries of kayaks and paddleboards. Mr. Chavkin stated that the Village decides how to design and maintain the use of the Boathouse Interpretive Center. 8 (11/17/22) �Ben Nielsen suggested that the applicant design the Kingsland Point Park access path to accommodate the public, provide a better connection between the road and the access path, and provide some sort of pull off lawn space so that visitors can unload recreational equipment and then park their cars on the road. Kersten Harries asked Ms. McKinnon to confirm that parking is only available on the street and asked how the proposed natural play areas compare in scale to others created. Ms. McKinnon stated that there will be 3,500 square feet inside the play circles. Chairperson Hsu stated that it took two years to build the Phase I waterfront open space and asked for the projection for Phase II. Ms. McKinnon stated that it would take two planting seasons to complete. Ben Nielsen suggested that the applicant provide more access to the water’s edge. Mr. Nielsen suggested that terraced boulders would provide the ability to get down closer to the water and the ability for someone to get out of the water safely in an emergency. Peter Chavkin stated that a study was completed and that they were required to repair the rip-rap in certain locations. The evaluation of other barriers methods has not been a consideration. David Smith stated that the rip-rap discussions related to safety concerns and building code issues in Phase I. The considerations that were included in the design for Ichabod’s Landing did not come out as intended and that a barrier was necessary. Mr. Smith stated that he agrees with Ben Nielsen and that there needs to be more of a discussion on the relationship with the site, the rip-rap and the Hudson River. Andrew Tung stated that they would review the Board’s comments and prepare a revised submission for presentation at a future meeting. No action was taken. 7.

Mr. Hopkins stated that revisions were made to the application as per the suggestions received from the Board. The proposed changes include relocating the driveway to the South side of the building and moving the building forward to maintain the street line with the adjacent buildings. The application proposes to move the parking into the rear yard where the cars will be required to pull in and back directly out. The proposed trash enclosure will be located in the rear yard. Open green space and landscaping is proposed in the front yard. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the Board. Rachelle Gebler and Kersten Harries agreed that the incorporation of the Boards suggestions has improved the proposed project. Chairperson Hsu stated that she likes the green space proposed in the front of the building and that the added street tree will enhance the streetscape. Ms. Hsu stated that the Fire Code requires a 3-foot side yard setback from the property line and asked Mr. Hopkins to provide details on how they propose to remedy the issue with the proposed design. 5 (10/20/22) �Brian Hopkins stated that the proposed setback is 2 feet, 7 inches. They propose to remove the (4) windows on the north side of the building and add a fire-rated wall. The floor plan would suffer if they removed 5 inches from the width of the building. Rachelle Gebler asked what rooms are on the other side of the windows proposed for removal. Mr. Hopkins stated that the kitchen abuts the windows on the north side. Matthew Brennan stated that he is concerned that removing the windows may create a precedent and that there may not be enough natural light. Rachelle Gelber asked if windows are permitted on a fire-rated wall. Brian Hopkins stated that the windows would have to removed completely and that the same situation was approved at 34 Hudson Street, so there is already precedent. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Hopkins for the distance between the 34 Hudson Street building and the neighboring building to the North, and for the distance between the proposed 46 Hudson Street building and the neighboring building to the North. Mr. Hopkins stated that the sideyard setback is between 6-9 inches at 34 Hudson Street, and that the setback between the 46 Hudson building and the property line is 2 feet, 7 inches. Alex Tseng is the owner of the property. Mr. Tseng stated that there is 2 feet from the 46 Hudson Street property line and the neighboring building to the North. The first floor bedroom plan interacts with the kitchen. If they move the building 5 inches, and keep the kitchen the same size, the bedroom would be less than 10 feet wide. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Hopkins is there is room to shift the southern wall 5 inches. Mr. Hopkins stated that the southern wall is set 10 feet from the property line and that it is already tight for car access. Rachelle Gebler asked if there is light coming into the kitchen. Mr. Hopkins stated that there are lots of windows on the south side of the building, the street frontage brings light into the kitchen, and the repositioning the of the building allows for more southern exposure. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Hopkins if he has finalized the lot calculations required for a referral to the ZBA. Mr. Hopkins stated that the Applicant will be requesting approval for (5) variances. Kersten Harries suggested that the Planning Board refer the application the ZBA. Sean McCarthy suggested that the Board schedule the Planning Board public hearing for the December meeting pending the approval the ZBA. 6 (10/20/22) �Motion was made to refer the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals for the December 21, 2022 meeting and to schedule a public hearing for the December 22, 2022 Planning Board meeting. Moved: Harries Seconded: Gebler Vote 6-0 8. LL Parcel E, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, 201 Horseman Boulevard (Building E-3), Utility enclosure, Amended Site Plan approval – Preliminary Presentation Mark Gratz is an associate with DTS Provident Design Engineering, LLP representing the applicant. Mr. Gratz stated that in March of 2021 they received approval for the installation of a gas enclosure and a screen wall to hide the gas meters and regulators for Building E-3. Due to Con Edison service and clearance requirements, the size of the original enclosure is no longer adequate. The application proposes to install a second brick-clad enclosure at the southeast side of the building that will hold seven meters and one gas regulator. The proposed modifications require the shifting of a walkway and landscaping to make room for the enclosure. The proposed enclosure will be approximately 50 square feet with 5’ x 10’ walls. Mr. Gratz stated that as per the comments received from James Natarelli, they have added a floor drain to the structure. Kersten Harries suggested changing the orientation of the enclosure so that the solid brick wall faces the Tappan Zee Park and having the access from the backside of the building. Mark Gratz stated since the piping will be coming up from the east side of the building, it should not be a problem. Kersten Harries asked Mark Gratz to consider shifting the entire sidewalk to align with the other walkways instead of just the proposed enclosure area have a jog in it. Mark Gratz stated that having the slightly larger green space would be more beneficial to the residents than having a deeper foundation screening and there should not be a tremendous amount of flow going through from the parking lot to Tappan Zee Park. Chairperson Hsu stated that residents are expressing concerns for the utility screening at Building E-1 and asked if there are solutions incorporated into this proposal. Mr. Gratz stated that the second enclosure is proposed to meet the Con Edison size requirements and to be in line with the 2021 Amended Site Plan approval. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Gratz if he is confident that if they move the walkway, there will be ample space for residents and pedestrians. Mr. Gratz stated that the walkway is the standard 5 foot width. They expect limited public use of the walkways because the residents will mainly use it to access the parking. Mr. Gratz requested that the Board consider waiving the public hearing requirement. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Gratz if the current residents at Building E-1 have expressed concerns or comments regarding the metal screening installed. 7 (10/20/22) �Pete Galotti is an associate with Toll Brothers and stated that have received concerns in regards to the Building E-1 enclosure being too close to the road. The proposed enclosure at Building E3 will not have that issue. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Gratz to confirm that the enclosures will be constructed only of the the brick-clad material and not require the perforated metal panels approved at Building E-1. Mr. Gratz stated that the enclosure would be brick-clad material with a granite coping on the top to match and blend in with the building. Chairperson Hsu stated that the drawings noted the coping as metal. Mr. Gratz stated that they will make the change on the plan. Chairperson Hsu solicited advise on how to proceed. Sean McCarthy stated that if the Board is comfortable waiving the public hearing, the Board can vote to prepare a draft resolution of approval for the November meeting, pending receipt of the revised plans for the record. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Galotti for the estimated occupancy date for Building E-3. Mr. Galotti stated that the estimated occupancy date for Building E-3 is the summer of 2023. Motion was made to waive the public hearing and to direct David Smith to draft a resolution for approval at the November 17, 2022 meeting with the condition that the enclosure opening shall face the parking lot and not Tappan Zee Park, and that the revisions are made to the Amended Site Plan drawings and submitted as requested.

Gabe Realty Corp., 305 North Washington Street, Proposed three-family residence, Site Plan approval - Preliminary presentation Gregory Caccioppoli is the engineer representing the applicant. Mr. Caccioppoli stated that the lot is currently vacant because a fire destroyed the previous structure. The proposed application is compliant with the Zoning Code requirements. The applicant will not be requesting variances. There will be no disturbances to the wetland or flood plain and there are no tree removals 8 (10/20/22) �required. Mr. Caccioppoli stated that the previous structure was a five-family residence that contained three bedrooms per unit requiring 12.5 parking spaces. The application proposes to construct a three-family apartment building with four bedrooms per unit where the required parking is 3 parking spaces per unit for a total of 9 required parking spaces. Mr. Caccioppoli presented the site plan and stated that there are three decks proposed on the second floor with patios on the ground floor. A walkway is proposed for access to the patios and for the residents to access the garbage collection area. Mr. Caccioppoli presented the elevations drawings and stated that he will modify the proposed siding material to be cement board, and change the front doors, garage doors, and fencing material to be wood. Mr. Caccioppoli stated that the application proposes three curb cuts on Howard Street for the driveways to three garages. Although the curb cuts will eliminate (3) on-street parking spaces, it will provide (3) off-street parking spaces for the residents. In order to provide (9) off-street parking spaces on the lot, they would have to eliminate the green space in the front yard on North Washington Street. Onsite parking would add impervious surface and require a larger stormwater system. David Smith asked Mr. Caccioppoli if the location of the proposed building is restricted by property setbacks. Mr. Caccioppoli described the property setbacks for the side, front, and rear yards and stated that the property setbacks would only allow him to move the building two feet to the left or the right. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Caccippoli if the applicant has considered putting the driveways and the garages in the back of the building. Mr. Caccioppoli stated that in order to put the garages in the rear yard, they would require 30 feet to make it usable and provide the proper turning radii for vehicles to get in and out of the site. There is no street in the rear of the property, only homes with private driveways. Although he has not performed a formal parking study, there seems to be ample parking spaces available on North Washington Street. Kersten Harries and Chairperson Hsu agreed that parking on the streets is an issue depending on the time of the day. Sean McCarthy stated that the primary front yard is on Howard Street because it has the widest street frontage. North Washington Street is the secondary front yard of the corner lot. The address of the property is North Washington Street because the previous building entrances and frontage were on that street. Mr. McCarthy suggested that the owner consult with the neighboring property owner for a possible driveway easement. Lindsay Krakauer suggested that the applicant try to leverage putting the driveways in the back with an easement so that there are more options to provide additional parking for the building and reducing the amount of parking spaces needed on the street. Sean McCarthy suggested that Mr. Caccioppoli determine the frontage calculations of the adjacent homes across the street on North Washington and Howard Street to see if aligning the front yard of the proposed structure closer to the street would open up opportunities for the rear and sides of the building. 9 (10/20/22) �Kersten Harries stated that the Code allows you to reference the adjoining neighbor’s front yards without seeking a variance. The Boards preference is not to have the driveways on Howard Street, as less street parking spaces would be removed and it would be safer for pedestrians. Chairperson Hsu stated that it would be more aesthetically appealing to have the driveways and the garages in the rear yard and to provide more green space in the front. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Caccioppoli what is proposed for the ground floor space. Mr. Caccioppoli stated that the ground floor space would be for storage and laundry. Kersten Harries suggested revising the proposed façade and elevations to show architectural articulation of the units to breakdown the massing of the building. Ms. Harries stated that more plantings be added to the greenspace areas and suggested adding trees to replace the mature trees that were once part of the site. David Smith suggested that Mr. Caccioppoli show how the site plan would work in relation to providing two parking spaces per unit verses three and how it relates in needing a variance. Rachelle Gebler stated that the Board likes greenspace and does not want the site paved over. Erin Carney suggested that Mr. Caccioppoli use the Lower Beekman Design Standards Booklet adopted by the Village for a reference as suggestions for dormers and windows that will fit in with the character of the street. Mr. Caccioppoli stated that he will rework the design of the structure based on the parking and that he probably will not be prepared to come back to the Board until the December meeting. No action was taken. 10. Zoning Code amendments, Special Permit uses- RF District Chairperson Hsu asked the Board members if they have any concerns for allowing medical offices in the Riverfront District. There were no concerns from the Board. David Smith stated that he would prepare a recommendation to the Village Board of Trustees. 11. Approval of minutes- September 22, 2022 Motion was made to approve the September 22, 2022 minutes.

The Board of Trustees instituted new Zoning Code regulation that allows the Trustees to move forward with municipal projects without the oversite of the Planning Board. 3. Village of Sleepy Hollow, Pocantico River and Devries Park, Proposed site improvements- Resolution Chairperson Hsu stated that a draft resolution will be prepared for the October 20, 2022 meeting to close out the application for the proposed site improvements at the Village of Sleepy Hollow Pocantico River and Devries Park.

Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, Block O/P & N Townhomes, Phase II, Block N amenities and proposed sales officeSite Plan & Architectural Review Board approval Motion was made to open the public hearing. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Gebler 2 Vote 6-0 (9/22/22) �Andrew Tung is an associate with DTS Provident Design Engineering, LLP representing the applicant. Mr. Tung stated that responses were submitted addressing the concerns from Sean McCarthy and Woodard & Curan. Mr. Tung stated that the prior submission proposed to raise the floor elevation of the buildings and the pool to provide physical separation between the pool and the sidewalk. There were concerns on how pedestrians would access the buildings from both sides. The revised application proposes to lower the grade of the building and the parking lot; and to add a new ramped walkway to provide ADA accessibility at the north end of the building. Accessible parking spaces will be split in order to provide spaces at the north and south ends of the buildings. A revised Planning Board Application was submitted proposing to use the north clubhouse building initially as a sales office. The proposed wall at the south end of the property will provide a level area between the wall and the south boundary for the Metro-North easement. Mr. Tung stated that Craig Tompkins has been in contact with Metro-North to discuss a revised easement agreement. Craig Tompkins is the Project Manager for Lighthouse Landing LLC, and stated that since 1913 there was an easement on the south end of the project that allowed Metro-North to enter from Beekman Avenue down to the lot. It has not been used for almost 90 years because trucks are unable to get down from Beekman Avenue to the lot. They are trying to make a deal with MetroNorth to release them from the existing easement and to create an easement within the DeCicco’s retail lot that would go from Legend Drive through their property, where Metro-North would have a gate that would provide access to all of the tracks from the south to the north. They will be submitting a future Site Plan Amendment for Block A in which they will have an easement agreement in place with Metro-North that will close the old easement and open the new easement and to eliminate the easement along the wall noted on this current plan. The easement is not on the recent subdivision maps and will not be included on future maps. David Smith stated that the easement, currently shown on the plan is for the overpass, and is an easement created by Edge-on-Hudson, not by Metro-North. Mr. Tung stated that Mr. Smith is correct, but that is a separate easement. The easement they are discussing is an access easement. Craig Tompkins stated that the overpass easement is with the Village, not with Metro-North. David Smith asked Mr. Tompkins if the Village has been involved in the discussions with MetroNorth. Craig Tompkins stated that the Village has not been involved in their discussions with MetroNorth because it is their private property. David Smith asked Mr. Tompkins if eliminating the access easement would affect the overpass easement. James Natarelli asked how Metro-North would access the tracks when the overpass easement is in place. Craig Tompkins stated that Metro-North does not need the access easement and will have a vehicle gate at the new easement planned at Block A. 3 (9/22/22) �David Smith stated that negotiations with the Village and Metro-North are required for an easement that allows the overpass to go from the East Parcel to the West Parcel over the tracks. Joshua Subin stated that he is in contact with Metro-North and that he will include David Smith in the discussions. Mr. Tung stated since the easement is not required, they will remove the protective fence and the wall, and re-grade the area. Bill McGuiness is the founder of Sun Homes and the architect for the Block O/P & N Townhomes, Phase II, and the Block N amenities buildings. Mr. McGuiness agreed to reduce the grade to the previously approved elevations. This will provide ADA access on both ends of the property. Mr. McGuiness asked if this change would allow the Planning Board to support the approval of the project at the next meeting. Kersten Harries asked Mr. McGuiness what the previously approved grade was and how the proposed change would affect the current plan. Mr. McGuiness stated that the sidewalk elevation at each side of the building is 14.5 and at 16. The finished floor elevation at the pool deck is 16.40. Chairperson Hsu asked if this change will resolve the concerns for ADA access for both of the buildings. Mr. McGuiness stated that there was accessibility on the south end of the fitness center and there will be a new ramp at the north end building. Kersten Harries asked how the elevation changes would affect the proposed entrance locations or the orientation of the buildings. Mr. McGuiness stated that they propose to keep the entrance locations as planned because in order to put primary entrances on the street, it would create a need for a vestibule that walks directly into the space and would create the primary activity on the sidewalk. The buildings are too small to provide multiple entrances. Chairperson Hsu asked Sean McCarthy if there are other issues that need to be discussed. Sean McCarthy stated that they have mentioned some of the major items that changing the grade will resolve. Chairperson Hsu questioned if air-sourced heat pumps for the heating and cooling of the buildings are proposed, and asked Mr. McGuiness to explain how the mechanical equipment will be accessible through the roof. Mr. McGuiness stated that the air-sourced heat pumps are proposed for both buildings. The mechanical equipment will be stored in the roof top parapets. There will be a fixed ladder located inside a closet with a vertical door hatch through the attic space leading onto the roof with a 4 (9/22/22) �grille above. They still have work to do in order to figure what the size of the equipment will be and how they are going to construct the access hatchs and stated that they have drawn the plan based on the largest equipment available. Kersten Harries asked Mr. McGuiness why the roof lines on the east and west elevations appear to be different in height since the north and south roof lines appear the same. Mr. McGuiness stated that he drew the plans and that the east and west elevations are a mistake. The south end roof line is boosted to provide more space. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the consultants. Anthony Catalano stated that clarification is required on how they intend to winterize the pool and how they will handle the water discharge. David Smith stated that he wants to make sure that the Planning Board is comfortable with the entrances proposed and how they relate to the street frontage. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the public. There were no public comments. Chairperson Hsu made a motion to adjourn the application to the October 20, 2022 meeting and directed David Smith to draft a resolution. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Krakauer Vote 6-0 6. Landrock, LLC, 231 Webber Avenue, Driveway modification, Amended Site Plan and Wetlands permit approval- Continued public hearing, draft resolution Motion was made to open the public hearing. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Gebler Vote 6-0 Allison Fausner is a member of the law firm of Cuddy & Feder, LLP representing the applicant and stated that they have submitted responses to comments and revised drawings to address the concerns from the July meeting. Ms. Fausner asked that the Planning Board adopt the draft resolution. Chairperson Hsu stated that the main public safety concern is that the applicant resolve the accessibility of the entrance gate for Village staff and emergency vehicles prior to issuance of the Building Permits. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the public. There were no comments from the public. Motion was made to close the public hearing. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Carney 5 Vote 6-0 (9/22/22) �Chairperson Hsu requested that David Smith read the highlights of the draft resolution. David Smith stated that the Village staff and the applicant have reviewed the draft resolution. Mr. Smith read the resolve clauses and the conditions of the draft resolution. Motion was made to approve the resolution. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Harries Chairperson Hsu - yes Kersten Harries - yes Lindsay Krakauer - yes Erin Carney- yes Rachelle Gebler- yes Matthew Brennan- yes Vote 6-0 APPROVED 7. 46 Hudson St., LLC/Alex Tseng, 46 Hudson Street, Proposed three-family residence, Site Plan approval- Presentation Brian Hopkins is the architect representing the applicant. Mr. Hopkins stated that revisions were made to the application as per comments received from the Board. The parking was moved to the front and the applicant will be seeking a variance for three parking spaces. Pushing the building back eliminates the need for a variance for the front yard setback and reduces the bulk of the building. The new roof line is relative in elevation to the other roof lines on the street. Hardie board siding and Azek trim is now proposed for the entire building and a different color board and batten siding is proposed within the upper portion of the roof ridge to reduce the scale of the building. Brian Hopkins presented the Site Plan and stated that they will be seeking a variance for the side yard setback. Moving the cars and parking spaces into the front yard allows for more green space in the rear yard. A Juliette balcony has been added to the third floor. Chairperson Hsu stated that even though the proposed height has not changed, pushing the building back and changing the roof line makes the building feel less imposing and dominating on the street. Her main concern is having the three parking spaces in the front and asked Mr. Hopkins if he has exhausted the configurations for the back yard. Brian Hopkins asked if the Board would allow the applicant to have two tandem parking spaces on the side driveway and two parking spaces in the front. Kersten Harries asked how that change would fit into the current design. Mr. Hopkins stated that they would move the bicycle parking and the trash chute to the front in lieu of the third parking space. Rachelle Gebler asked Mr. Hopkins how the tenants would access the rear yard green space if the driveway was used for parking. Mr. Hopkins stated that the basement unit tenant could access the rear yard through their patio. The other two units would have to walk through the side yard to access the rear yard green space. 6 (9/22/22) �Kersten Harries asked Mr. Hopkins if all of the tenants would have access to the open space and requested that he submit a landscape plan to detail the configuration. Mr. Hopkins stated that the open space is for the use of all of the tenants and that he will provide a landscape plan. Lindsay Krakauer stated that the proposed parking in the front of the building is not in keeping with the continuity of the streetscape, and asked Mr. Hopkins if there is an option that could keep the parking in the rear yard. Mr. Hopkins stated because of the turning radii, the entire backyard would be the parking lot. The engineer explored may different configurations for the proposed three parking spaces. Ms. Krakauer asked if the turning radii could work for two parking spaces. Chairperson Hsu suggested parking two cars in the rear yard and having two tandem spaces in the side yard, which would then remove one parking space needed on the street. There was a discussion regarding the different options for parking and the front setback of the building. The Board suggested moving the building forward and figuring a way to have the parking in the side and rear yards of the property. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Hopkins how many parking spaces are required. Mr. Hopkins stated that the proposed application requires six parking spaces. If they use the existing driveway and the rear yard, they will reduce the amount of green space. Erin Carney stated that although green space is important, the pleasure and usability of the porch spaces is important. The value of the porch spaces goes down if they are perched above or directly behind vehicles. Kersten Harries suggested that if they relocate the parking to the back of the building, the building could be moved forward, but still leave some room for green space in the front yard. Ms. Harries suggested shifting the bedroom locations so that patio access from the ground floor apartment would be from the kitchen or dining room. She suggested that adding rear balconies to the upper level units for views to the rear yard greenspace or possibly providing access to the rear yard from the upper units. Ms. Harries suggesting adding windows or skylights to the bathrooms. Chairperson Hsu stated that she does not see a problem with backing out of the driveway if that helps with the configuration of the parking spaces. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Hopkins if the applicant has considered moving the driveway to the south side to allow more southern exposure and so that backing out of the driveway would be a more straight shot. 7 (9/22/22) �Brian Hopkins stated that he will consider the suggestions and revise the application for the October meeting. 8. Phelps Hospital/Northwell Health, New York SMSA Limited Partnership (Verizon Wireless), Wireless communications permit, Amended Site Plan – Preliminary presentation Michael Sheridan is an attorney with Snyder & Snyder, LLP representing the applicant. Mr. Sheridan stated that the application proposes to upgrade their existing facility at Phelps Hospital by replacing (9) antennas, adding (3) additional antennas, and related equipment on the tower. The application is an eligible facilities request under Federal Law, which states that if the application meets certain criteria the application shall be approved at the local level. Mr. Sheridan stated that he noticed a discrepancy in the way the illustrations detail the exisiting antennas and the proposed configuration on the tower. Mr. Sheridan requested that the Board approve the application pending the submission of revised details from Verizon. Mr. Sheridan presented a photograph of the exiting tower and stated that Verizon’s equipment is the second one down from the top and only visible from the parking lot. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Sheridan if this application is for a 5G upgrade. Mr. Sheridan stated that the technology is constantly improving to make service better. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Sheridan if the upgrades would interfere with the eagles nest. James Natarelli asked Mr. Sheridan if the revised plans would result in changes to the FCC RF Compliance report. Mr. Sheridan said that the RF Compliance report should not change because the equipment height will remain the same. Chairperson Hsu made a motion to waive the public hearing, approve the application, and to direct David Smith to draft a confirmatory resolution for the October 20, 2022 meeting.

David Smith stated that during the Work Session the Board discussed adding a condition regarding the timing and the mechanisms for removing the sales office. Mr. Smith stated that the draft language of the condition shall read that the temporary sales office and supporting parking shall be removed, and that the site will be restored within 90 days of the issuance of a temporary or permanent Certificate of Occupancy for an agreed percentage of the total of number of units in Block H. Peter Chavkin is the President of Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC and stated that he would be comfortable with the condition of removing the sales trailer on or before 50% of the Block H units have received a Certificate of Occupancy. A model unit will be constructed and an amenity space that could be utilized as a sales office, if needed, for the remainder of the sales efforts. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the public. There were no comments from the public. Motion was made to close the public hearing. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Harries Vote 4-0 David Smith stated that there are minor editorial comments that need to be made but that the Board has all of the conditions needed to pass the resolution. Motion was made to approve the resolution as amended. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Carney Chairperson Hsu - yes Kersten Harries - yes Erin Carney- yes Lindsay Krakauer - yes Vote 4-0 APPROVED 5. Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, Block O/P & N Townhomes, Phase II, Block N amenities and proposed sales office3 (7/21/22) �Site Plan & Architectural Review Board approval Motion was made to open the public hearing. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Harries Vote 4-0 Bill McGuiness is the founder of Sun Homes and the architect for the Block O/P & N Townhomes, Phase II and the Block N amenities building. Mr. McGuiness stated that he is working through the comments received from the Village professionals and he requested to discuss any comments or requests from the Board that may change the proposed design of the building, grading, or landscaping. Mr. McGuiness stated that the proposed pool equipment and utility meters will be located in an area across the parking lot with wall and landscape screening, and that the equipment will be nestled down below eye level. There will be a drain and a redundant overflow drain with a gravel base, and the grade will be above the flood plain. He thinks the design looks better like this but will change it if the Board requests it. Anthony Catalono asked Mr. McGuinnes to confirm that the stormwater collected would be discharged into the existing drainage system. Mr. McGuiness stated that the current plan shows a drain connected to the drainage system with an overflow drain into the swale behind. As requested, they will revise the plan to connect the second drain into the existing drainage system. Mr. McGuiness stated the current grading plan shows the pool deck and finished floor elevations of the proposed buildings close to the sidewalk and the street elevation. The intended design is to have the pool deck and finished floor elevation up a few feet from the sidewalk to provide privacy. Chairperson Hsu stated that an elevated pool deck would provide less privacy at eye level than having it down lower with landscape screening. Mr. McGuiness stated that he does not agree and feels strongly about the proposed design for an elevated pool deck. Mr. McGuiness stated that a comment was received requesting that ADA access be provided from the street. The current design proposes ADA access from the designated parking spaces in the back of the building. Mr. McGuiness stated that there is a difference between required access verses best practice, and that his preference is to build the current design. If the Board feels strongly, he will revise the grading plan 1.3 feet lower to provide ADA access from the sidewalk. Mr. McGuiness stated that the current design plans to locate the condensers inside a grated roof parapet system and to use a ladder on the outside of the building for access to the equipment. Comments were received requesting that access be provided from the inside the building. If the Board wishes, he can revise the design to utilize the 3-4 feet of dead attic space to install a fixed ladder inside a closet hatch. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. McGuiness if he has implemented the proposed roof design on another project. 4 (7/21/22) �Mr. McGuiness stated that he has not used the grated parapet design before, but he has no concerns. Mr. McGuiness requested to continue furthering the design drawings at their risk in advance of the September meeting and the requested changes that the Planning Board requires. Kersten Harries asked if the proposed parking lot is at grade level. McGuiness stated that proposed parking lot is not at grade level. There is driveway going up and a retaining wall shown on the south property line. Kersten Harries asked if entrances could be added to the front façade and be accessible with ramps going up and into the building. Mr. McGuiness stated that he prefers not to have multiple entrances because the proposed buildings are only 30 feet x 40 feet each. If they receive approval to implement the elevated pool deck designs, they would need to raise the grade and the ramps will be dominant from the front of the building. Mr. McGuiness stated that he thinks the entrance doors belong on the parking lot side because he does not expect that people will walk in off the street into a private building, and there is only one door proposed in each building. Kersten Harries stated that the Boards comments relate to providing access from the front for private residents that may be walking there. Ms. Harries asked Mr. McGuiness if the proposed roof top system includes a drainage system. McGuiness stated that a system, similar to the pool equipment area, is proposed with an internal drain running under the parking lot and connecting to the existing storm system. Erin Carney stated that she feels strongly that since the proposed amenity building is so close to the units, it would be a disservice to the convenience and livability of the residents to have to walk by cars to get into the space and that residents should be able to walk or bike to the building, and not be restricted. Mr. McGuiness stated that elevating the building off the street provides a separation of spaces and a more aesthetic design. Mr. McGuiness stated that he prefers his design but will do what the Board wishes. Chairperson Hsu stated that if people who live in Block O/P Phase II are going to walk to the fitness center to exercise, they would not be deterred from walking a few extra steps from the parking lot into the building. Peter Chavkin stated the proposed design includes a walkway connecting Legend Drive to the front door that provides pedestrian access but it is too steep to be an ADA accessible slope. Most of the people walking, who live in the community, will walk across the street or walk up the access ramp at the rear of the building. Since the building will serve as a sales office, they need to be mindful of providing an easy sales experience, and expect that prospective buyers will be driving to the site. Sean McCarthy stated that the sales office is a temporary use and a clubhouse will be the permanent use of the building, and that the design for the permanent use should take precedence. 5 (7/21/22) �Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the public There were no comments from the public. Chairperson Hsu stated that the applicant needs to address the comments received from the Anthony Catalano and Sean McCarthy. Motion was made to adjourn the public hearing to the September 22, 2022 meeting. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Krakauer Vote 4-0 6. Landrock, LLC, 231 Webber Avenue, Driveway modification, Amended Site Plan and Wetlands permit approval- Continued public hearing, pending ZBA approval Allison Fausner is a member of the law firm of Cuddy & Feder, LLP stated that she is covering for her colleague Bill Null for the continued public hearing. Ms. Fausner stated that the applicant received Zoning Board approval at last night’s meeting. Donna Maiello is an associate with DTS Provident Design Engineering, LLP representing the applicant. Ms. Maiello presented updated exhibits and stated that the applicant received approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals for the requested variances, including the proposed split rail fence at 48 inches high. Ms. Maiello stated that they submitted responses to address the concerns from James Natarelli related to infiltration rates and stormwater. Ms. Maiello stated that proposed tree plantings will be kept out of the 16-foot buffer water main and sewer main buffer and easements. There were trees planted after the applicant received subdivision approval but they are not in the easement. The note on the proposed site plan will be revised to say that the final location of the proposed trees may vary from the plan based on new viewshed or field conditions, but will not be located within restricted areas. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the public. There were no comments from the public. Chairperson Hsu requested that David Smith prepare a draft resolution for the September 22, 2022 meeting. Motion was made to adjourn the public hearing to the September 22, 2022 meeting. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Harries Vote 4-0 7. 46 Hudson St., LLC/Alex Tseng, 46 Hudson Street, Proposed three-family residence, Site Plan approval- Presentation Lindsay Krakauer read the following statement: 6 (7/21/22) �I want to disclose that I live on the same block, approximately two houses away, from the proposed development at 46 Hudson Street. My home does not adjoin any part of the applicant’s property, nor does it adjoin the property where easements are being considered. I do not believe that my proximity to the proposed project prevents me from being objective and fulfilling my duties as a Planning Board member. However, if the applicant has any objection to my participation, I will consider recusal, so as to place my ethics beyond reproach. Brian Hopkins is the architect representing the applicant and stated that a recusal is not necessary. Mr. Hopkins stated that as per the comments received from the Board, a revised application was submitted to request site plan approval for a three-family residence. The applicant will still be seeking a variance for the lot size and parking. Mr. Hopkins stated that changes made to the application include the removal of the top floor porch, adding a portico to the front door entrance for access to the basement, and relocating the trash and recycling collection area from the front to the side entrance. Mr. Hopkins presented photographs of the existing building conditions and stated the house in currently one of the biggest buildings on the block in terms of bulk, height, and square footage. The current proposal does not deviate drastically from the existing building. The proposed building is 67 square feet larger than the existing building and proposed height is slightly larger than the existing building. Mr. Hopkins stated that there is an existing sub cellar below the basement, and that it is in complete disrepair. Chairperson Hsu asked if the sub cellar is a crawl space or a full cellar. Mr. Hopkins stated that the sub cellar is a full cellar and not a crawl space. David Smith asked Mr. Hopkins what is proposed for the sub cellar. Mr. Hopkins stated that the sub cellar will be remediated for mold and be kept as an empty or storage space. Utilities will not be stored in the cellar as the applicant plans to utilize heat pump technology. The proposed square footage increase results from the extension of the top story to the back while removing a part of the front of the building to correct a problem with the street. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Hopkins if he has considered how to resolve moving the front steps to be within the property line. Mr. Hopkins stated that the stairs extend down to the cellar and foundation, and that removing them makes the project unviable for owner. A proposed solution would be to reach an easement agreement with the Village. Sean McCarthy stated that application proposes to demolish the existing building down to the old foundation and to construct a new building. Moving the staircase is not a reason to warrant the project unviable for the owner. Mr. Hopkins stated that in order to more the staircase, they would have the cost of digging down. Sean McCarthy stated that underpinning of the entire foundation will be required in order to keep it, therefore moving the stair is minor in comparison. 7 (7/21/22) �Mr. Hopkins stated that he will revisit the request with the owner. Chairperson Hsu stated that the lower deck is not a usable space for the first floor apartment, and moving the staircase could provide a small amount of open space for the unit, and will provide more street appeal. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Hopkins how far the existing staircase extends over the property line. Mr. Hopkins stated the existing stair extends 18 inches over the property line. Erin Carney stated that historic views of Hudson Street were included in the renderings. Hudson Street used to be a tree-lined street with a continuous feel. Moving the staircase back to have a little more green space would help return the property to the historical images. Kersten Harries stated that moving the stairs would also help with lightening the volume of the front façade. There was a discussion regarding the additional demolition, foundation, and excavation work that would be required to abandon the cellar and move the staircase and why Mr. Hopkins proposes the existing foundation is viable for reuse. Mr. Hopkins stated that the materials proposed for the exterior façade is Hardie board on the front façade and vinyl siding on the other three facades of the building. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Board prefers Hardie board siding on all four sides of the building. Lindsay Krakauer stated that you could see so much of the home from the side and that using a different material will stick out. Erin Carney stated that the use of Hardie board is referenced in the Village Guidelines as what they are looking for. Kersten Harries suggested that Mr. Hopkins improve the architectural details of the third floor dormers. Mr. Hopkins stated that although they have revised the proposed application to a three-family residence, a variance approval is still required for the lot size. David Smith stated that the Planning Board still needs to weigh and balance the overall development program and its appropriateness to the site. Mr. Hopkins stated that the proposed application is a balanced approach for a property that changed from the R-4A Zoning District to an R-5 district where it suggests that approval to increase with bulk height and to have a multi-family use could be permitted. 8 (7/21/22) �David Smith stated that even though the Zoning changed, the application is still required to fit the program on the site and it has to fit in with the neighborhood. There was a discussion between the Village Consultants and Mr. Hopkins relating to the R-5 Zoning District changes and how the Planning Board reviews applications for proposed development in relation to the surrounding properties. Mr. Hopkins stated that the proposed floor area ratio (“FAR”) is within the median for the lot coverage on the site. The proposed application reduces the lot coverage while increases the FAR by .02% or about 60 square feet. Mr. Hopkins stated that he will calculate the turning radius dimensions in the parking area in order to reconfigure the usability of the required open green spaces. Kersten Harries requested that Mr. Hopkins provide more details for the proposed plantings and use of the amenities proposed in the open spaces, and suggested that they consider alternative materials other than asphalt for parking area. Ms. Harries asked Mr. Hopkins if it would be possible to move the three parking spaces on the sides of the driveway verses in the back to provide more open green space. Mr. Hopkins stated that moving the parking spaces is possible but the Village would have to approve the vehicles backing out into the street. Kersten Harries suggested that the applicant provide covered bicycle storage on site. Lindsay Krakauer asked Mr. Hopkins for the status of the easement discussion. Mr. Hopkins stated that the easement agreement has been finalized. Mr. Hopkins asked James Natarelli for comments regarding the turning radius. James Natarelli stated that the turning radius is tight and requested that Mr. Hopkins consider different parking arrangements for the site. Mr. Natarelli suggested that Mr. Hopkins run turn movements for different ways to get cars in and out of the parking spaces. Mr. Hopkins asked James Natarelli if the Planning Board permits backing out of the driveway into the street wall. James Natarelli stated that he does not think there is anything in the Code that prohibits vehicles from backing out onto the street. However, Hudson Street is a through street that is used by many people; so it is not ideal. Brian Hopkins requested that the Planning Board provide the revisions that are requested for the next meeting. Chairperson Hsu stated that Mr. Hopkins should work on the relocation of the front staircase so it is not over the property line and to allow for more green space along the sidewalk, the 9 (7/21/22) �redesigning the roof dormers, and the parking. Further improvements are required before the Board can recommend a positive referral to the Zoning Board of Appeals. No action was taken. 8. Westchester County Department of Public Works, Parks, Recreation and Conservation, Kingsland Point Park, Bulkhead replacement, Wetlands Watercourse Permit approvalPreliminary presentation Chairperson Hsu stated that they Planning Board should remove the application from the agenda since it is clear that representatives from Westchester County are not going to come before the Board. 9. Zoning Code Amendments, Chapter 450-1 Powers of the Planning Board, Board of Trustees referral- Discussion Chairperson Hsu stated that a joint public meeting between the Board of Trustees and the Planning Board is scheduled and will be noticed for Monday, July 25, 2022 at 5:30 PM in Village Hall.

Landrock, LLC, 231 Webber Avenue, Driveway modification, Amended Site plan and Wetlands Watercourse Permit approval- Public hearing Chairperson Hsu opened the public hearing. William Null is a partner with Cuddy & Feder LLP representing the applicant and stated that the proposed driveway improvements address the Webber Avenue entrance and do not require a change to the subdivision. The existing gates do not provide adequate security for the property and are not in scale. Mr. Null stated that the modifications to the entrance drive, from a few years ago, proposed the removal of the west side of the wall on the bridge over the wetlands to accommodate the necessary width for emergency vehicles to enter and exit the property. The modified design proposes enhancements to the wetland area, including a rain garden and plantings. Mr. Null stated that they have submitted an application to the Zoning Board of Appeals requesting variance approvals for the proposed gate, walls, and fences as required for a change from the 3-foot height limitations. Mr. Null requested that the Planning Board provide a positive referral to the Zoning Board. Donna Maiello is an Associate with DTS Provident Design Engineering, LLP representing the applicant. Ms. Maiello presented the proposed locations for the raingarden and the native plantings. Ms. Maiello presented the proposed materials and locations for the entry gates, stone 4 (6/16/22) �piers, wood gates, fences, and walls. Ms. Maiello presented renderings to show views of the proposed improvements from Webber Avenue and the driveway entrance looking west. Mr. Null stated that they submitted a draft of the declaration agreement to detail that the owners of the three lots will be obligated to maintain the raingarden. The declaration will also provide a key fob or another method to allow the Village to open the gate and have access to the Village public utility easements on the site. Chairperson Hsu asked James Natarelli if the responses submitted for the engineering questions, related to the proposed raingarden and the wetlands were sufficient. James Natarelli stated that he requested that the applicant show the water main and the sewer on the raingarden sketch in order to see where the trees would fall and to provide a buffer for the public utilities. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Null if the Department of Public Works, the Fire Department, and other emergency services would all have access to the gate and asked Mr. Null to explain the reference to a call box. Mr. Null stated that they have not finalized the operations of the gate access and that they will work with the Village to determine which Village officials need access through the gate. The call box will be connected to the park gatehouse that is monitored 24/7 by the Greenrock Corporation. Joshua Subin questioned the wording of the declaration and if the Village will need to be included. Mr. Null stated that the Village easements are on filed maps and a requirement of the approved resolution. The Village is a third party beneficiary and therefore is not required to sign the declaration. David Smith asked Donna Maiello to summarize the proposed wetland mitigation. Donna Maiello described the areas that will result in temporary and permanent wetlands disturbance and the proposed mitigation improvements to the buffer area. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Board has received (2) written comments in support of the application. (See exhibits #1 and #2) Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the public. There were no public comments. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Null when they expect to resolve the gate access methods for emergency access and public safety. 5 (6/16/22) �Mr. Null stated that they will work with the Village on suggested methods for the gate access and stated that he believes the Village DPW has a key to the existing fence on the property. Michael Rockefeller is the Managing Member of Landrock LLC and stated that the Village does not currently have keyed access to the areas on the property. Mr. Rockefeller stated that Greenrock security would monitor the call box to open the gate. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Null to clarify what the two additional structures shown on Exhibit C. Mr. Null stated that as part of the draft declaration, the structures shown on Exhibit C are intended to represent where (2) future single-story horse ring buildings may be located on the site since the property is equestrian orientated and adjacent to the Park. Mr. Null acknowledged that the construction of new structures will be subject to site plan approval from the Planning Board. Mr. Null stated they want to limit where the accessory structures could be situated so they would be close to Gorey Brook Road and not visible to where they think the houses will go. Chairperson Hsu made a motion to positively refer the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals and to adjourn the public hearing to the July 21, 2022 meeting.

Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Tung to describe the logistics plan for access to the sales office on Block M during the construction of Block H. Craig Tompkins is a Project Manager for Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC. Mr. Tompkins presented a Site Traffic Flow Plan and stated that they anticipate having two-way traffic using Maxwell Drive ending at the sales trailer with access to turn around. Westward Drive will not be accessible during the construction of Block H. There will be fencing to separate construction activity from public access. Their plan is to have the roads finished and to construct the sales trailer during the fall and winter months. Chairperson solicited comments from the Board. Anthony Catalano asked Mr. Tompkins to explain how the circulation for two-way traffic to the sales trailer will be coordinated. Mr. Tompkins stated there would be a dead end at the sales trailer and that that vehicles would turn around in the temporary parking lot. Anthony Catalano asked Mr. Tompkins how long they anticipate having the temporary sales office and the parking lot. Mr. Tompkins stated that the construction of Block H building will take two years to complete. They hope to have the capability to lift the sales trailer up and move it to other locations for the sales of future buildings.

Mr. Tompkins stated that they plan to develop a sign program that would provide direction to different sales offices. They will request temporary signage for the sales efforts for the different construction companies. Edward McCarthy asked Mr. Tompkins what they are constructing at the Beekman Avenue turnaround. Mr. Tomkins stated that are constructing the entry monument. Sean McCarthy asked how the construction trucks will get in and out of the sales trailer location since they can’t back up or if will there be gates at Westward Drive for exiting. Mr. McCarthy also questioned what other activity will be located at Block M. Craig Tompkins described the proposed routes for construction traffic and stated that restrictive access gates will be located to avoid using areas where residents live. David Smith asked Mr. Tompkins for the status of Block A. Craig Tomkins stated that they are addressing issues with the Department of Health and they expect to start the construction of DeCiccos sometime this year. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Tompkins if the fencing proposed on Lighthouse Landing, along Block H, will require the use of a portion of the roadway. Mr. Tompkins stated that there are discussions as to whether or not there will be one-way or twoway road access and that he believes the construction of Block H may require the use of a part of the road. Sean McCarthy stated that several Certificates of Occupancy have been issued for Block F and there will be people accessing the building from all four sides. Mr. McCarthy asked if the oneway drive will be part of the Phase I road dedication to the Village. Mr. Tompkins stated that the road dedications to the Village include everything in Phase I and does not include the second leg of Horsemen Boulevard or Lighthouse Landing. 8 (6/16/22) �Sean McCarthy stated that as more occupants move in the Block F building, pedestrian activity and public access increases on all sides of the building. There should be efforts to remove any construction activity from public access areas. Chairperson Hsu stated the density of residents living at the development is increasing and that the logistics traffic flow plan needs to consider the residents, clients, cyclists, pedestrians, construction, and other vehicles. Sean McCarthy stated that the (13) temporary parking spaces will be used for the sales efforts and asked where the construction vehicles will park. Mr. Tomkins stated that completion of the Phase IV roads would be in before the sales trailer construction starts and that there would be parking available along the roads and not be available to access to the public. Anthony Catalano stated that the applicant should submit a revised logistics plan to further detail the construction timing and the mobility throughout the site. Mr. Tompkins stated that he is willing to work with Sean McCarthy during the progress of Block F to determine how the traffic should flow. Joshua Subin stated that the Board could consider drafting a resolution while the applicants iron out the differences. Chairperson Hsu asked if Anthony Catalano and Sean McCarthy are comfortable drafting a resolution. Anthony Catalano and Sean McCarthy stated that they are comfortable with the Board voting to draft a resolution.

Mr. Tung stated that the Block N Site Plan approval contained a resident pool, a twostory clubhouse, (2) pavilions at the south end, and an on-grade parking lot with (44) spaces. Mr. Tung stated the proposal last month was to consolidate the (2) buildings, make them larger and to serve as a temporary sales office at the south end of the pool. Mr. Tung stated that the Planning Board suggested that the applicant use the clubhouse as a temporary sales office instead of constructing a temporary sales trailer. Mr. Tung stated that the revised application proposes to split the clubhouse function into (2) similar sized one-story buildings at the north end and south end of the pool. The revised application proposes to use the clubhouse on the north side initially as a sales office and to construct a fitness center in the south end building. The applicants could built the permanent north building, final utilities, and the parking lot now, and then convert the building into a clubhouse after sales efforts are finished. Mr. Tung presented an illustrative floor plan and rendering, and summarized the features of the proposed buildings temporary and final layouts, entrances, and exterior materials. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Tung to clarify what was approved previously for the Block N clubhouse building. Mr. Tung stated that Block N was originally a two-story clubhouse building and it is now proposed to construct (2) one-story buildings on the either end of the site. Bill McGuiness is the founder of Sun Homes and the architect for the Block O/P, Phase II Townhomes. Mr. McGuiness stated that the proposal includes (2) buildings that will be 30 x 40 feet, with 10 foot ceilings. Mr. McGuiness presented an illustrative floor plan and a perspective rendering and described the proposed building, pool layout, and exterior materials. Mr. Tung stated that the applicants are seeking Architectural Review Board approval for the pool complex. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the Board. David Smith stated that the revised plan does not show the pool utility room and asked Mr. McGuiness where it would be located. Mr. McGuiness stated that they have not finalized the location for the pool utility room and that they are working on relocating it within the landscape as a shed type structure with landscape screening. Mr. McGuiness stated that he would consult with the pool company and then come back with the details. David Smith suggested that they should start the pool application process with Westchester County. 10 (6/16/22) �Kersten Harries asked Mr. McGuiness what the buffer area is between the parking lot and the building now that he is proposing to add a structure in the landscape. Mr. McGuiness stated that his plan was to construct the equipment structure in the landscaped area at the north end of the parking lot and that there in not enough room between the parking lot and the building. Chairperson Hsu stated that the equipment room would be quite a distance from the pool. Kersten Harries asked Mr. McGuiness if the pool equipment could be located in a closet within the building structures. Mr. McGuiness stated that equipment is noisy, requires breathing room, and needs to be in an area where the equipment could accessed for service. Lindsay Krakauer asked Mr. McGuiness if there will be a lifeguard. Mr. McGuiness stated that their preliminary budget includes weekend lifeguards and that it will be the Home Owners Associations decision when they take over. Erin Carney requested that Mr. McGuiness provide more context related to the north zone in terms of the sidewalk, parking and the utility boxes in order to address if additional screening is required. Mr. McGuiness stated he will submit a landscape plan that shows the existing and proposed utility equipment and plantings that provide room for adjustments. Kersten Harries suggested that a designated area be provide for bicycle parking and asked if the pool will serve all the residents of Block O/P. Mr. McGuiness stated that he will provide an area designated for bicycle parking. Mr. Tung stated that the pool is only for the residents of Block O/P Townhomes, Phase II. Kersten Harries asked if Block O/P Phase I is the only part of the development that will not have a pool. Sean McCarthy stated that the Block J and Block E buildings do not have a pool. Chairperson Hsu stated that having the future clubhouse located on the perimeter of Kingsland Point Park is a great idea. Chairperson Hsu expressed her satisfaction with the revised plan. She asked Mr. McGuiness if there will be a hot tub at the pool area. Mr. McGuiness stated that a hot tub is not proposed. Chairperson Hsu requested that the applicants provide more details for the pool equipment room and its proximity to the pool. 11 (6/16/22) �Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the Board and consultants for other outstanding items. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. McGuiness for the locations of the heating and cooling equipment and asked if equipment will be located on the flat roofs. Mr. McGuiness stated that a split system would be set in the ceiling. The illustrative plan for the roofs were drawn incorrectly and the intention is to have parapets with a 2 foot space and then to put flat condenser units below the top of the parapet wall. He will submit the details for next meeting. Sean McCarthy stated that the building roofs will be highly visible from other buildings in the neighborhood and that the equipment will need to be screened. Mr. McCarthy asked Mr. McGuiness how the garbage will be handled. Mr. McGuiness stated that there will not be a commercial kitchen. Caterers can come in and set up. There will not be a need for dumpster and the garbage bins will be stored in the building. Sean McCarthy asked if there will be an accessible ramp. Mr. McGuiness stated that the building will be at-grade from the parking lot side. Sean McCarthy requested that Mr. McGuiness provide details for the proposed awning materials and railings. Mr. Tung requested that the Board consider waiving the public hearing for the site plan amendment, providing that Mr. McGuiness submit the details requested and requested that the Board vote to prepare a draft resolution for the next meeting. There was a discussion between Chairperson Hsu and Joshua Subin on whether the Board could waive the public hearing for the requested site plan amendment and if the submitted application is sufficient for preparation of a draft resolution. Kersten Harries suggested scheduling a public hearing since they are coming back in July to present further details. Peter Chavkin stated that they are fine with scheduling a public hearing for the July meeting. Motion was made to schedule a public hearing for the July 21, 2022 meeting. Moved: McCarthy Seconded: Gebler Chairperson Hsu - yes Kersten Harries - yes Ed McCarthy yes Erin Carney- yes Lindsay Krakauer - yes Rachelle Gebler - yes 12 (6/16/22) �Vote 6-0 APPROVED 11. 46 Hudson St., LLC/Alex Tseng, 46 Hudson Street, Proposed four-family residence, Site Plan approval- Preliminary presentation Brian Hopkins is an architect representing the applicant. Mr. Hopkins stated that due to the rezoning on Hudson Street, the application proposes to construct a four-family residential unit on the site. Mr. Hopkins presented photographs of the adjacent properties on Hudson Street and stated that they all share similar character. All the homes have front porches, are approximately three-stores high and have similar Hudson Valley bracketed styles. The application proposes to demolish the existing two-family structure, maintain the existing foundation, and erect a stickbuilt house. Mr. Hopkins presented the floor plans and stated that the proposed basement unit is 18 inches below grade and the entrance will be from the rear of the property. Each of the proposed units will have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, and living room. Mr. Hopkins presented the elevations drawings and renderings and stated that efforts made to reduce the scale of the building structure include increasing the number of columns on the front porch and pushing the building back to reduce the appearance of the width. The proposed exterior materials include clad windows, Hardie Plank siding on the front, vinyl siding on the sides and the rear, Azek trim, Timberline asphalt roof shingles. Mr. Hopkins stated that in keeping with the New York Stretch Code he proposes to use R-20 insulation for the exterior walls with an R-6 rigid exterior insulation. The windows and doors will be a maximum U value of .27 and all of the interior lighting will be high efficiency. Mr. Hopkins stated that the proposed building would require variances for the side and front setbacks. Mr. Hopkins stated that they received the comments from James Natarelli and that he is working with the engineer on responses. Mr. Hopkins summarized the proposed engineering drawings as they relate to the proposed cultec drainage systems. James Natarelli requested that any responses received regarding engineering concerns need to be submitted to Sean McCarthy and the Building Department. David Smith stated that they need variances for the minimum lot area and width. The first three units require a minimum of 5,000 square feet and he is proposing an additional unit. Mr. Smith requested that Mr. Hopkins provide turning movement details for how cars will get in and out of the site for tandem spaces. Mr. Smith stated that the proposed application is required to provide 100 square feet of open space. Brian Hopkins stated that the porches provide open space. David Smith stated that the 100 square feet of usable open space needs to be part of the site and that the porches do not satisfy the requirement. Lindsay asked Mr. Hopkins if the proposed retaining wall would be on Metro-North property. Mr. Hopkins stated that the proposed retaining wall is on the 46 Hudson Street property. Edward McCarthy asked Mr. Hopkins if the tenant for the basement would have to go down the driveway for access to the apartment. 13 (6/16/22) �Mr. Hopkins stated that the access to the basement apartment is from the back. Sean McCarthy stated that there is an overflow drain going out of the retaining wall and that the overflow appears to discharge onto Metro-North property. Mr. Hopkins stated that they do not expect the property to overflow very often. Sean McCarthy stated that discharging stormwater onto someone else’s property is not permitted. James Natarelli stated that the engineer stated in his response that the overflow is modeled as a detention system intended to discharge in intermediate storms and not only a 100-year storm event. The Village has a stormwater runoff policy for the retention for a 100-year storm and suggested that the engineer schedule to perform percolation tests. Sean McCarthy stated that that minimum lot area for the R-5 Zoning District is 5,000 square feet. The proposed unit count requires a lot area of 6,500 square feet because an additional 1,500 square feet is required for the fourth unit. This is a substantial variance request as it relates to the density of the site. Kersten Harries stated that the increase from a two-family to a four-family building and the proposed increase in height from 28.4 feet to 40.7 feet is larger than appropriate given the scale of the immediate adjacent homes. Ms. Harries suggested that the applicant consider building a three-family residence that would reduce the building massing and the parking requirements. Mr. Hopkins stated that the square footage of the proposed floor planes are smaller than the existing building and they have stepped the building back from the property line to reduce the appearance of the massing. Mr. Hopkins stated that the zoning allows for a 45-foot building height and they are proposing to be 5 feet under the permitted building height. Mr. Hopkins stated that he believes that the new zoning requirements for the R-5 district predict the future of the housing stock in the neighborhood. Rachelle Gebler stated that the proposed building bulk is out of the character with the existing neighboring properties, and their role as the Architectural Review Board is to consider whether a building is not too similar and not to dissimilar with the neighboring properties. Lindsay Krakauer stated that the proposed building looks harsh from the street, and also asked Mr. Hopkins to consider proposing a three-family structure. Kersten Harries requested that Mr. Hopkins revise the plans to indicate where the utility equipment will be located in the interior and exterior of the building and to consider adjusting the amount of impermeable surfaces proposed for the rear of the site. Erin Carney asked Mr. Hopkins to explain the use of the door next to the front staircase and the proposed stair materials. 14 (6/16/22) �Mr. Hopkins stated that a trash room is proposed in the location at the front staircase so it is adjacent to the street, and that the existing staircase is concrete and stone. Erin Carney stated that the staircase faces a prominent side of the street and suggested that the applicant consider moving the staircase and trash room to the side or rear of the building. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Hopkins if the existing staircase is over the property line Mr. Hopkins stated that the existing staircase is located over the property line. Kersten Harries suggested that the applicant use Hardie Plank siding on the all sides of the house in lieu of vinyl. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Board agrees that the proposed massing is too large for the street. Chairperson Hsu encouraged the applicant to consider reducing the unit count to a three-family unit with less required parking. No action was taken. 12. Zoning Code Amendments, Board of Trustees referral-Discussion Chairperson Hsu stated that the Board will send a referral back to the Board of Trustees that will include a response to the questions received and discussed at the work session. 13.

Mr. Tribe stated that the owner traced the stormwater discharge in the rear of the building and that a 4 inch clay pipe is taking the stormwater to the back of the property. Mr. Tribe stated that the property owner dug out the existing drywell. The drywell is approximately 5 ½ feet wide by 4 ½ feet deep, and evidence shows that the drywell has been working efficiently during the storms. James Natarelli requested that Mr. Tribe include the drywell location on the site plan. Mr. Tribe stated that they visited the apartments at 74 Beekman Avenue building. There are (2) windows on the second floor that are blocked by the existing wall of the 72 Beekman Avenue building and there are (2) windows on the third floor of the building that look into a space that is between the building and the existing wall. Mr. Tribe stated that they have made changes to the design in order to provide more than 12 inches of space between the (2) windows on the second floor of 74 Beekman Avenue and the proposed construction at 72 Beekman Avenue. Mr. Tribe presented the floor plans and stated that they propose to eliminate the interior staircase that leads to the second and third floor apartments and relocate the stair to the backyard. The first floor would now have a longer corridor that will contain storage space for trash bins, a utility closet, and stairs that will provide access to the backyard and down to the basement. The two windows on the second floor, blocked by the existing block wall, will remain. The wall on the third floor will be been moved out approximately 3 feet to allow for more light and air to the windows on the third floor of the 74 Beekman Avenue building. Mr. Tribe stated that the revised plan will accommodate the needs of the neighboring building without sacrificing space in the apartments.

Mr. Tribe stated that the building will be fully electric powered, will not use gas, and that the roof will be set up to be solar ready. Mr. Tribe stated that changes to the elevations include using double hung windows, changing the triple windows to double windows, and raising the bay windows slightly to add distinction and similarity with the neighboring buildings. Chairperson Hsu stated that the changes made to the design are good improvements and that the proposed building looks more aesthetically fitting with the neighboring properties on Beekman Avenue. Moving the staircases to the back of the building solved the problems related to the neighboring building windows. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Tribe how long the sidewalk bridge will be needed. 3 (5/19/22) �Mr. Tribe stated that the sidewalk bridge would be needed for approximately three months. Mr. Carrion stated that they will do what they can to have the sidewalk bridge there for less time as they are looking forward to completing the construction since it has been vacant for a long time. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Board will require a full set of updated drawings for approval. Mr. Tribe stated that they will provide a final set of the site plan drawings.

Landrock LLC, 231 Webber Avenue, Driveway modification, Amended Site Plan and Wetlands Watercourse Permit-Preliminary presentation William Null is a partner with Cuddy & Feder LLP representing the applicant and stated that the application proposes a modification to the entry drive area. The previous site plan amendment modified the Webber Avenue driveway entrance. They are proposing an alternative concept that will be more attractive for landscaping while providing the same sensitivity to the wetlands situation. The application also proposes a modification to the formal gate and entrance in order to create more privacy for the future residents of the subdivision. Mr. Null stated they will not be creating a homeowners association for the maintenance of the proposed rain garden since there will only be three homes. The plan is to create a declaration that will cover the restrictions and easements, including the identification of the Village public access easement and methods for representatives from the Village and the residents of the three subdivided lots a way to open the gate. The declaration will include a collective obligation between the three land owners to pay the cost to maintain the landscaping around the shared driveway, including the rain garden. Mr. Null stated that the declarations eliminate the need to revise the final subdivision plat. Donna Maiello is an Associate with DTS Provident Design Engineering, LLP representing the applicant. Ms. Maiello stated the proposed amendment includes raising the grade along the west side of the driveway to eliminate the need for a guide rail on the side. The depressed wetland area will be replaced with an at-grade rain garden. Design modifications are proposed for the location and the layout of the entry walls, piers and gates. Ms. Maiello stated that the proposed 8 (5/19/22) �wetlands disturbance is approximately 1,650 square feet (.04 acres). The proposed rain garden is 1,200 square feet and the perimeter of the area will be planted with a wetland seed mix, firs, and native trees. Ms. Maiello stated that the plantings for the rain garden include native dogwood shrubs and ornamental grasses, and that the plantings will also be included on the east side of the driveway basin. Ms. Maiello stated that the letter prepared by William Kenny concluded that the rain garden would provide similar ecological benefits of the existing wetlands. Changes proposed to the entry drive include the installation of a pair of 6 to 7 foot tall piers, with 48 inch high stone and brick walls curved toward the driveway, a pair of 6 foot tall wood piers with 5 foot high by 9 foot wide swing gates in the center of the driveway, and matching 5 foot high fences extending from the piers to the stone wall. A paved walkway is proposed to the pedestrian gate along with a 40 inch wide paved area to the west of the driveway for refuse pick up, and a call box for visitors. There will be a stabilized shoulder on each side of the driveway apron to accommodate wider turns into the driveway. Mailbox locations will be coordinated with the Village Post Office. Ms. Maiello stated that they are aware that the proposed 5 foot high fencing requires a variance and that they are requesting a referral to the Zoning Board of Appeals. William Null stated that the proposed walls and gate materials are similar in character to other properties in the area. Michael Rockefeller is the Managing Member of Landrock LLC. Mr. Rockefeller provided the history of the piers and gates. Kersten Harries requested that the applicant provide drawings that detail the dimensions of the proposed walls and gates. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Null if the gates will swing inward and how they will manage the garbage pick-up Mr. Null stated the gates will swing inward and the garbage would be brought down to the road and stored in the area to the left of the driveway for village pick up. David Smith requested that Mr. Kenny review the Village Code as it relates to wetland disturbances and the requirements for replacement ratios. James Natarelli asked Ms. Maiello if they have considered eliminating the perforated drain in the rain garden. Ms. Maiello stated that rain gardens typically include a perforated drain. She suggested that this is something that James could discuss with Mark Gratz. Chairperson asked if the Board should schedule a public hearing for the June meeting. Sean McCarthy stated that the applicants would need to apply for a variance first. Ms. Maiello asked if the 3-foot height regulation applies to the pillars. 9 (5/19/22) �Sean McCarthy stated that the 3-foot height restriction applies to walls and fences. Historically, when a pier attaches to a fence or gate, the piers may be slightly higher than the fence or wall to allow the proper connection to the elements; and this is something that the Board would consider upon review of the dimensioned details. Mr. Null asked if the Board requires the detailed fence dimensions before they can make a referral to the Zoning Board. Sean McCarthy stated that the positive referral to the Zoning Board should be based on the review of the drawing unless the Planning Board is comfortable making the referral tonight. Mr. Null asked Mr. McCarthy for the dates of the upcoming Zoning Board meetings. Mr. McCarthy stated that the submission deadline for the June Zoning Board meeting has passed and that they could submit an application for the July meeting. Mr. McCarthy suggested that the Board consider referring the application to the Zoning Board for the July meeting if the applicant can provide the requested information for the June Planning Board meeting. The Planning Board can then submit additional comments to the Zoning Board before the July meeting. Motion was made to refer the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals for the July 20, 2022 meeting and to schedule a public hearing for the June 16, 2022 Planning Board meeting where a decision will be pending ZBA approval.

Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on Hudson Riverfront Development, Block O/P & N Townhomes Phase II, Proposed sales office, Amended Site Plan Preliminary presentation Andrew Tung is an associate with DTS Provident Design Engineering LLP representing the applicants. Mr. Tung stated that the applicants are seeking approval to construct a temporary sales trailer to sell the units. Mr. Tung stated that during the Work Session, the Board suggested that the applicant consider building a permanent portion of the future amenity building to use as the sales office. Peter Chavkin stated that building a part of the permanent amenity building to use for the sales office is a great idea; however, he is concerned that there would not be enough time to build the structure and have it completed when they need to start using a sales office. Mr. Chavkin stated that an application for Architectural Review Board approval for the amenity building will be 10 (5/19/22) �submitted for the next meeting. During that time, they will determine whether they need to continue the request for a temporary sales trailer. Matthew Brennan asked Mr. Chavkin when they intend to start the sales efforts. Mr. Chavkin stated that the Attorney General’s office would need to approve the Condominium Offering plan before the marketing efforts start. Their goal is to start the sales by the end of this year or early next year. Edward McCarthy suggested that using a permanent structure would be more cost effective then the expense of a temporary trailer. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Block N parking area would need to be complete in order to meet the code requirements for the additional parking spaces that supplement the units that have the aprons in lieu of full driveways. No action was taken. 11. Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, Block M, Proposed Block H sales office, Site plan approval- Preliminary presentation Andrew Tung is an associate with DTS Provident Design Engineering LLP representing the applicants.

Mr. Tung stated that the block was part of the Phase III Roads and Infrastructure application but does not have an approved site plan. The proposed temporary sales trailer would include 13 parking spots and be accessed from Palisades Boulevard. Chairperson Hsu asked if a Site Plan approval for a temporary structure requires a public hearing. Sean McCarthy and Joshua Subin agreed that a public hearing is required. Motion was made to schedule a public hearing for the June 16, 2022 meeting.

Chairperson Hsu asked Joshua Subin to clarify if the questions received from the Board of Trustees are a collaboration or if more questions will follow from individual Trustees. Joshua Subin stated that the question of timing comes down to Sean McCarthy’s interpretation of the code. Mr. Subin stated that he thinks Mr. McCarthy’s interpretation makes sense and that he will go back to the Board of Trustees to discuss it with them. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Board would start working on the responses of the Planning Board. 13.

Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, Block O/P & N Townhomes, Phase II, Preliminary subdivision plat and site planContinued public hearing Motion was made to reopen the public hearing. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Carney Vote 6-0 Andrew Tung is an associate of DTS Provident Design Engineering, LLP representing the applicant. Mr. Tung presented the illustrative site plan and stated that the application proposes to construct 90 townhomes in Block O/P. Block N has been added to the proposed site plan and will contain a clubhouse, pool, outdoor sitting area, and an on-grade parking area for the residents of Block O/P Townhomes II. The units along Hollows Pass, facing the Kingsland Point Park buffer, are proposed to be 28 feet wide and three-stories high. There will be two access drives to the surrounding roads on each side of Block O/P. There will be interior alleyways to provide rear access to the units, and the fronts of the units will face either the street along Tappan Zee Park or interior open spaces. Mr. Tung presented the proposed “Kit of Parts”, elevations, and floor plan illustrations for the first 6 units proposed along Legend Drive, and stated that the rear façade and frontage will be situated so there will not be a flat building front in any location. Mr. Tung presented the proposed subdivision map and stated that a parcel will be created for each group of townhomes, will be divided at the center of the alleyways, and will have cross easements between each parcel. Mr. Tung stated that the revised plans, submitted March 3, 2022, address the concerns received from Woodard & Curran. Kersten Harries stated that the Board has received the civil drawings and site plan showing the general layout and the “Kit of Parts” sample plan and floor layouts. Ms. Harries asked Mr. Tung if the applicant plans to provide architectural floor level plans for all of the buildings or if they plan on coming back block by block for review and approval from the Board. Mr. Tung stated that the applicant plans to submit architectural plans for approval from the Planning Board, as the Architectural Review Board, for each group of townhomes because each block of units will be designed differently and geared towards potential buyers. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Tung if there is a construction sequence plan in place and if they anticipate building the units along the Kingsland Point Park buffer last. Mr. Tung stated that he is unable to provide the plan for the construction of the parcels. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Tung to provide more details for the amenities building in Block N. 3 (3/17/22) �Mr. Tung stated that Block N is being developed and that they plan on coming back before the Board for review. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the Board and the consultants. David Smith stated that the Environmental Assessment Narrative that was prepared as part of the Special Permit approval included a townhome component that included pitched and gable types of roof design. Mr. Smith asked Mr. Tung and Mr. McGuinness if they are contemplating incorporating different roof designs as part these townhome blocks because it appears that the same roof line character that was constructed in Block J is proposed for Block O/P. Bill McGuinness is the founder of Sun Homes and stated that they are not proposing pitched roofs on the buildings because they have entered into a contract to build this group of townhomes based on the planned layout and if pitched roofs were used they would lose interior square footage, and they would need to build the units wider or taller. Mr. McGuiness stated that in regards to the construction sequencing, they intend to build east to west and plan on having a few premium homes in each phase. Lindsay Krakauer asked Mr. Tung if there is an ability to break up the block that proposes 7 units in a row at the south west corner of the site at the buffer zone. Mr. Tung stated the proposed plan intends to eliminate the view of the alley way behind the interior units. Mr. Tung stated that they don’t see a problem with having 7 attached units and the intention is to build units with a premium view to the Kingsland Point Park buffer. Kersten Harries suggested that if they removed one of the 7 units, it would create more of the open space coming into the interior open space and provide potential views to the 3 units located completely in the interior of the site. Mr. Tung stated that it is possible to move things around but they believe the current plan achieves a balance between the open space and the units. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. McGuinness if they plan on building a sales office and questioned where the construction trailers will be located. Mr. McGuinness stated that he will have to consult with Craig Tompkins on the locations for the construction trailers. He has two locations in mind for the sales center. They are working with their sales and marketing teams to complete the designs and will need to meet with Mr. McCarthy to discuss any restraints before submitting for approval. Chairperson Hsu stated that while she appreciates the concerns raised by David Smith regarding the architectural similarity of the roof designs, her personal preference is to have the option of a roof top amenity. Ms. Hsu stated that she is okay with not having gable roofs because the roof top amenities and greenery shown on the proposed plans will allow for more river views. 4 (3/17/22) �David Smith stated that the Ichabod’s Landing project has gable roofs and also has roof top amenity space. There are architectural alternatives that can be presented that address both issues. Mr. Smith stated that although he agrees that the roof top space is a very valuable amenity, excessive similarity should be considered in the role of the Planning Board as the Architectural Review Board. Chairperson Hsu stated that although the current site plan meets the requirements of the Fire Code, there are some concerns regarding the turning radiuses and the need for strict parking enforcement. Chairperson Hsu requested that Sean McCarthy provide more detail in regards to the concerns of the Fire Department. Sean McCarthy stated that the turning radiuses work based upon the largest fire apparatus currently owned by the Village. The concern is that if the site plan parking restrictions are not adhered to in the areas where shortened driveways are proposed, there may be a possible obstruction for fire apparatus to access the buildings. Chairperson Hsu stated that it will be the responsibility of the Home Owners Association to make sure that a stringent parking policy is enforced. Mr. Tung stated that the parking policies will be a part of the Home Owners Association regulations and a part of the initial offering plan so that each homeowner will be “on notice” as to the nature of their driveway. Ed McCarthy asked Mr. Tung if each driveway will accommodate two cars. Mr. Tung stated that each unit will have a two-car garage and that the units with full driveways will accommodate parking for two cars. Ed McCarthy asked Mr. Tung where the proposed swimming pool will be located and who is permitted to use it. Mr. Tung stated that the proposed lap pool will be located in Block N and only the residents of the O/P Townhomes II will be permitted to utilize it. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Tung if there is a 4 foot wide sidewalk missing on Hollows Pass through one of the walkways. Mr. Tung stated that it was never the intention to have a walkway every place that there is a space in between units and that the locations where they exist is to provide a way to get through areas where there is a long stretch to the buffer. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Tung if the walkway at Sleepers Haven is accessible to vehicles. Mr. Tung stated that it is designed as a pedestrian walkway but there is a break away bollard at each end for maintenance purposes or emergency vehicle access if needed to drive through. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Tung what material will be used for the walkways. 5 (3/17/22) �Mr. Tung stated that they propose to install the same hexagon pavers that are being used in Tappan Zee Park. Lindsay Krakauer asked Mr. Tung if the hexagon pavers will be used for the interior walkways. Mr. Tung stated that the other pathways are concrete, similar to what is in Block J. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Tung to describe the details of the amended subdivision application submitted for Block O/P Townhomes One. (See agenda item #5) Mr. Tung requested that the Board close the public hearing for the Block O/P & N Townhomes II application and prepare a resolution for the next meeting. Chairperson solicited comments from the Board and consultants. David Smith stated that the issues related to the open space and the Riverfront Development Concept Plan have been resolved by the Village Board and the technical items are being addressed. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the public. There were no comments from the public. David Smith suggested that it would helpful for the applicant to provide the specific language that will be in the Home Owners Association Agreement for the enforcement of the parking restrictions for the units that will not have a driveway. It is not an issue that the Police Department handles and it will fall upon the Building Department. Mark Weingarten is a partner with DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr, LLC representing the applicant. Mr. Weingarten stated that the Home Owners Association has not been created and will go through drafts with the Attorney Generals’ Office during the offering plan process. They agree to have it listed as a condition of approval on the resolution, subject to approval by the Board and the consultants. Erin Carney suggested that the applicant consider the view from Kingsland Road looking at the Edge-on-Hudson development and if it is possible to add some vertical greenery elements when developing the landscaping plans for the Kingsland Point Park buffer zone. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Tung when the landscape plan will be submitted to the Board. Mr. Tung stated that he was told that the landscape plan for the buffer zone will be submitted sometime in the Spring. Mr. Tung stated that there are currently street trees planted as per the Phase III Roads and Infrastructure approval, and there are existing trees along the edge of Kingsland Point Park. 6 (3/17/22) �David Smith stated that as per a requirement in the Special Permit, the landscape plans must be prepared and implemented prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the units that abut the open space in Block O/P and third section of Tappan Zee Park. Kersten Harries requested that there be a condition on the resolution requiring that the preliminary landscape plans, for the buffer area, are submitted to the Board prior to the Building Permits being issued for the units that abut the buffer zone. Mr. Tung stated that the buffer area is not within the parcels planned for construction and is a different piece of land. The applicant will be back before the Board several times before the landscape plans require approval. David Smith stated there will be a formal Site Plan approval for the Kingsland Point Park buffer area so that if there are any conflicts with the preliminary plan, there will be time to make changes before Site Plan approval is granted. Chairperson Hsu stated that she is comfortable closing the public hearing and directing that a resolution be drafted for the April 21, 2022 meeting to include conditions regarding the Home Owner’s Association language, the submittal of a preliminary landscape plan, and any conditions that Woodard & Curran feel are applicable. Lindsay Krakauer asked the Board if they were comfortable with approving the group of 7 units that abut the buffer area. Chairperson Hsu polled the members of the Board and the majority of the members were comfortable with the group of 7 townhome units. Motion was made to close the public hearing and to prepare a draft resolution for the April 21, 2022 meeting. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Krakauer Vote 6-0 5. Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, Block O/P Townhome One, Amended subdivision plat-Presentation Mr. Tung stated that the Block O/P Townhome One approved subdivision created four parcels for the four blocks of townhomes. During the final designs of Townhomes II, it was discovered that the driveway for next set of units in the corner of the second block is in the alleyway. In order for Toll Brothers to continue construction on Lot 3.22 they need to have to lot line adjustment approved on the subdivision map. Mr. Tung stated that the area consists of 75 square feet and is less than one percent of the parcel. Mr. Tung requested that the Board waive the requirement for a public hearing and grant the approval for the minor lot line adjustment. Motion was made to waive the public hearing, approve the lot line adjustment, and to prepare a resolution for the April 21, 2022 meeting.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.]**** Dear Mayor Wray, Inspector McCarthy and Planning Board Members: My property is located at 74 Beekman Ave., Sleepy Hollow, N.Y 10591, next to 72 Beekman Ave. who is seeking a variance. My neighbors zoning application should not be approved because he has build an illegal extension, attached you’ll find pictures showing the illegal wall. I am facing hardship due to the owner of 72 Beekman Ave. who build an illegal wall, that has blocked the light and air in my bedroom windows.  I have bedrooms with large windows facing a cement wall.  When you open the window my neighbors cement wall is touching my wall. Inspector McCarthy came last April 2021 to inspect my property 74 Beekman Ave. and he saw the difficulty that I’m facing with this wall that was build illegally. I expected it this illegal wall would have been removed by now, instead I’m hearing that he seeking variance for his property, which includes the illegal wall he build. I am requesting for the variance not to be given, to take down the illegal.
