Motion was made to reopen the public hearing. Moved: Harries Seconded: McCarthy Vote 4-0 Chairperson Harries stated that the Board has received written comments from Anne White that will be included in the minutes and posted on the Village website. ( See Exhibit #1) Chairperson Harries solicited comments from the public. There were no other comments from the public. 2 (2/17/22) �Motion was made to adjourn the public hearing to the March 17, 2022 meeting. Moved: Harries Seconded: McCarthy Vote 4-0 4. Cristian Carrion, 72 Beekman Avenue, Proposed addition and alterations, Site plan approval-Preliminary-Public hearing Motion was made to open the public hearing. Moved: Harries Seconded: Brennan Vote 4-0 Michael Tribe is the architect representing the applicant. Mr. Tribe stated that the proposed application is an as of right renovation and partial reconstruction of a building with no proposed change in use. Mr. Tribe stated that the changes made to the proposed project drawings include the addition of cornices, window trim, changing the covering of the brick piers from clad to stucco, and removing the decorative light fixtures and replacing them with downlights. Mr. Tribe stated that two elevation options were provided to the Board for review that include a flat surface option or a bay bump out for the exterior fa9ade. Mr. Tribe presented two renderings to show the proposed front elevation options and changes made to the project. Chairperson Harries stated that the purpose of suggesting the addition of the bay bump out was so that it would look similar to the adjacent building and have windows on the different faces of the bay that would allow light to enter a room at different times of the day. The rendering provided shows two windows on the front of the bay and two solid walls on the sides which defeats the purpose of the bump out. Ms. Harries stated that the trim around the windows doesn't appear to address the concerns expressed by Sean McCarthy in regards to the trim material for areas with the vertical siding verses the stucco and the use of a wood casing trim. Mr. Tribe stated that he agreed with the suggestion and that the wood casing trim has been added to the windows in the areas with siding. Chairperson Harries questioned why the decorative light fixtures were eliminated and switched to downlights. Mr. Tribe stated that his client is desperate to start construction so he was advised to switch the lighting to down lights. Chairperson Harries stated that although she appreciates the effort made to address the suggestions made by the Board for the elevations, there are some items on the plans that haven't been addressed since the last meeting. Chairperson Harries asked Mr. Tribe if the windows on the adjacent home will be blocked by the construction of the new vertical wall being built right up to the lot line. Mr. Tribe stated that they have a right to build right up to the property line and that they are going to create a space so the neighboring windows will have a shaft of light. 3 (2/17/22) �Chairperson Harries stated that the space is not indicated on the plans. Mr. Tribe presented the proposed floor plan and the existing site plan and stated that they will work with the structure of the proposed exterior wall to step in 12 inches to allow for space between the windows of the adjacent building. Sean McCarthy stated that the current plan does not indicate that the wall is stepping in 12 inches at the windows and requested that Mr. Tribe revise the plans. Chairperson Harries questioned how the basement level is accessed. Mr. Tribe described how the basement level is accessed from the first floor and stated that the door was mistakenly not drawn on the plans. Chairperson Harries questioned if the applicant has considered the suggestion made to provide access to the rear yard as an amenity space for the residents. Mr. Tribe stated that in order to provide access to the rear yard, an additional staircase would have to be added to the building that would increase the footprint and create other issues; or have an agreement with the first floor retail space to allow the residents to access the backyard. Chairperson Harries questioned what will be in the basement. Mr. Tribe stated that the basement will be used purely as a mechanical room. Erin Carney questioned how the garbage and recycling will be handled and where will the garbage containers be stored. Mr. Tribe stated that each of the tenants will be responsible for taking their garbage to the curb on collection day and that they will need to plan for an area to store the garbage containers for the building. Chairperson Harries stated the since the proposed project is on Beekman Avenue there will be impacts to the public and the Village during the construction process. The Planning Board requires a Construction Logistics Plan to make sure that sidewalk and street closures, and related construction issues will be addressed correctly. Mr. Tribe stated that they will submit a set of scaffolding drawings to the Building Department during site operation. Mr. Tribe stated that he can't submit a construction logistics plan and that they typically ask the contractor to hire an engineer to complete those plans and to submit the Building Department. Sean McCarthy stated that the Planning Board isn't requesting details of the scaffolding; they need to see a plan detailing how the building will be constructed within the Village right-of-way and if items related to street parking, dumpsters, or a sidewalk bridge will be need to be coordinated. 4 (2/17/22) �Mr. Tribe stated that the contractor completes the construction logistic plan and that he, as the architect, is not putting that on his drawings because it holds him liable. Sean McCarthy stated that the owner is a contractor and the site plan application approval will not move forward until the information requested by the Planning Board is provided. Chairperson Harries solicited comments from James Natarelli in regards to the engineering review. James Natarelli asked Mr. Tribe if there are updates regarding the stormwater system design. Mr. Tribe stated that as per the letter prepared by TW Engineering, P.C., it is his understanding that because they are reducing the impervious surface there is not a code that tells them that they have to do anything further. Mr. Tribe stated that if the Board is requesting something that is outside of the code requirement, they would need to know exactly what they are asking for. James Natarelli stated that he has explained to Mr. Wojciekofsky that it is the policy of the Planning Board and the Building Department for site plan applications to consider stormwater mitigation and design the system based on the 100 year storm event. Mr. Tribe requested guidance on what needs to be presented. James Natarelli stated that they need to investigate and show the data on how the run-off from impervious surfaces can be handled and contained on the site as it relates to the assumptions made on soil infiltration, and the increased runoff that may be created by the changes in the roof pitch. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Tribe where the existing storm water is discharging. Mr. Tribe stated that all of the existing storm water is going to the street from underground. Mr. McCarthy stated that there is not a storm sewer system connection on the south side of the street so if the run-off is going into the sanitary sewer system, it is illegal, and will have to be disconnected and be addressed on site. James Natarelli suggested that they submit the historic data they have regarding infiltration rates for him to review and consider. Chairperson Harries solicited comments from the public. There were no comments from the public. Chairperson Harries solicited additional comments from the Board and consultants. Sean McCarthy questioned how far the proposed bay bump out will be and if they will extend over the property line. 5 (2/17/22) �Mr. Tribe stated that the proposed bay bump out will be 18 inches and will extend over the property line. Mr. McCarthy stated that the current drawings indicate 4 inches and will need to be revised for the Boards review. Mr. Tribe solicited comments on which elevation the Board prefers. Mr. McCarthy stated that unless the windows can be angled on the bay bump outs, it should be a box bay. Motion was made to adjourn the public hearing to the March 17, 2022 meeting. Moved: Harries Seconded: Brennan Vote 4-0 5. Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, Block O/P & N Townhomes, Phase II, Preliminary subdivision plat and site plan-Public hearing Motion was made to open the public hearing. Moved: Harries Seconded: McCarthy Vote 4-0 Andrew Tung is an associate of DTS Provident Design Engineering, LLP representing the applicant. Mr. Tung presented an illustrative site plan and stated that they are proposing to add Block-N to the Block O/P site plan. Block-N is located at the north east corner of Legend Drive where it is proposed to construct a clubhouse for the residents of Block O/P two, a lap pool, outdoor space, and an additional area consisting of 44 on-grade parking spaces. Mr. Tung stated that changes were made to the proposed site plan where interior roadways, and units where shifted to address the site circulation and open space concerns of the Board and the consultants. There will be 90 townhome units in Block O/P combined with the approved 20 units for a total of 110 units. The proposed widths of the townhome units range from 20 feet to 28 feet and have been designed to provide architectural variety within each group. The required 330 parking spaces were calculated at 3 spaces per 4 bedroom unit. The plan proposes to supply 402 parking spaces within the complex. There will be 2 parking spaces provided in each garage; 51 of the units will include a driveway where 2 additional parking spaces will be provided. The 39 units proposed to face Legend Drive and Hollows Pass will have aprons in lieu of the full driveway. There will also be 77 additional parking spaces along the frontage of Hollows Pass, Palisades Boulevard, and Legend Drive. Mr. Tung stated that the applicant has selected Sun Homes as the designated builder. Mr. Tung described the Sun Homes firm and examples of the developments they have designed. Mr. Tung presented the proposed renderings and elevations for the first group of townhomes units in the northeast corner of the site. Mr. Tung described the "Kit of Parts" options that will be available for the homeowners to select. Mr. Tung presented the proposed floor plans and described the design layout for each level of the proposed 20 and 22 foot wide units. Mr. Tung presented the proposed subdivision map and stated that 25 separate tax parcel lots are proposed for each of the groups of buildings and the 2 open spaces. Each group of parcels will allow for both pedestrian and vehicular access throughout the block. Each townhome buyer will be a part of the Block O/P Townhome Two Homeowners Association and the overall 6 (2/17/22) �Edge-on-Hudson Homeowners Association. Mr. Tung stated that Sun Homes is prepared to return to the Planning Board for Architectural Review approval for each set of townhomes. Chairperson Harries solicited comments from Anthony Catalano in regards to the engineering drawings. Anthony Catalano stated that the stormwater reports and drawings need to be updated to address the comments from their review memos. Chairperson Harries asked Andrew Tung to describe how the proposed open space is consistent with the original Riverfront Design Concept Plan ("RDCP"). Mr. Tung stated that the original 2007 approvals of the RDCP, the Design Guidelines, the Special Permit and the Environmental Findings were designed as a framework for the parameters for the the total number of units and open spaces to be provided for the Village within the site. The approvals allowed for moving of the units, roadways and open spaces within each block. The designs for each block have changed over time to provide better circulation within the blocks and the open spaces, based on the interior roadways. Mark Weingarten is partner with DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkhr, LLP representing the applicant. Mr. Weingarten stated that that there are legal requirements that the Planning Board are compelled to follow and areas where they have jurisdiction for discretion. The proposed plan complies materially with the RDCP. The Board has jurisdiction to approve the changes as they relate to the parking and they are open to requesting that the Village Board document their approval in a resolution. Chairperson Harries requested that Mr. Tung provide more details on the proposed Block N and how it relates to open spaces and the Kingsland Point Park buffer. Peter Chavkin is a Managing Partner of Biddle Real Estate Ventures on behalf of Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC and stated that the grading of the Kingsland Point Buffer area has been changed since the RDCP to accommodate the potential flooding of the Pocantico River coming across the railroad tracks. They are working with the Sleepy Hollow Local Development Corporation on FEMA related issues with the East Parcel to determine what the grading contour needs to be. When the results for the channel grading contour are determined, they will bring the plans before the Open Space Council and then before the Planning Board with site plan applications for the third length of the Tappan Zee Park, the Kingsland Point Park buffer, and the Palisades Boulevard section of the Waterfront Open Space. Chairperson Harries asked Peter Chavkin what the proposed landscape planting will be in the buffer area. Mr. Chavkin stated that meadow grasses will be proposed in the buffer areas. David Smith stated that as part of the Environmental Review Findings, there was a concern raised that there would be a too much of a wall of buildings that fronted Kingsland Point Park and the buffer, and that the idea of allowing green space to penetrate into the development was 7 (2/17/22) �discussed by several of the Boards and associations, and incorporated into the RDCP. The current plan shows a wall of buildings along the buffer of Kingsland Point Park. The Village Board should be consulted to let them know that there is a change proposed to the RDCP similar to what has been done before with other site plans. Mr. Smith stated it was an important design element because members of the public and Village representatives requested for it to be a part of the RDCP. Jonathan Stein is a Managing Member of Diversified Realty Advisors, LLC and stated that the proposed site plan for Block O/P has improved since the original RDCP and they have increased the connectivity of the proposed development and the open spaces. Mrs. Stein stated that Chairperson Hsu has discussed this plan with the Village Board and there were no objections. Mr. Chavkin stated that green space penetrates into the O/P Block at the linear open space proposed at Sleeper Haven, where there previously was a public street, and that open space was simply relocated to different areas. The layout of the proposed buildings in Block O/P are an improvement from the RDCP as they relate to DPW and fire access. Sarah Smiley is a resident of Sleepy Hollow and a member of Mothers Out Front. Ms. Smiley stated that the proposed plan to use fossil fuel powered heating systems in the buildings will have a lasting impact on the community's carbon footprint. Ms. Smiley provided information related to the environmental impacts that occur from fuel emissions and suggested that the builders consider options using ground source heat pumps or air source heat pumps as alternatives for heating and cooling. Ms. Smiley provided details of future legislation that would ban the use of fossil fuel sources for new construction. Arlene Siegel is a resident living on Bellwood Avenue and stated that she shares the concerns of Sarah Smiley and stated that since these are new buildings, they have the opportunity to customize each development to use renewable fuels and this should be considered during the planning process. Chairperson Harries asked Peter Chavkin to describe what is currently planned for heating and cooling for the buildings. Mr. Chavkin stated that the builder has engaged with a firm called Enduring Energy to study geothermal energy for the proposed townhomes through the NYSERDA Flextech program. The study is being evaluated and they are unable to commit to its use yet. Chairperson Harries asked Mr. Chavkin if geothermal is not possible, will the builder consider options for using air sourced heat pumps and solar. Mr. Chavkin stated that he will request that Bill McGuiness of Sun Homes respond to the questions regarding renewable energy sources. Chairperson Harries requested that the applicant resolve open issues and comments related to the civil drawings and stated that the Board will seek approval from the Board of Trustees for the changes as they relate to the RDCP. 8 (2/17/22) �Motion was made to adjourn the public hearing to the March 17, 2022 meeting.

Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, Block H, Architectural review and amended site plan approval- Presentation Rick Cook is the founder of Cook Fox Architects representing the applicant and stated that he is there to present the architectural elements of the design of Block-H. Mr. Cook stated that since the site plan was approved, changes have been made to the westward townhouses to comply with the FEMA Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map for habitable space so that lowest room elevation is located at +11 feet. Mr. Cook stated that other changes to the site plan include the addition of accessible roof gardens and additional outdoor spaces for the residents. Roof top mechanical equipment will be moved away from the exterior face of the building fa9ade and screened walls will been added to conceal the views of the equipment from the street level. 9 (2/17/22) �Chairperson Harries asked if the mechanical equipment would be concealed by the screened walls even in the higher elevations along Beekman Avenue. Rick Cook stated that they are using taller screened walls so that the equipment will not be seen from higher elevations. Rick Cook presented a rendering of the building at the north east corner of Lighthouse Landing and described the elements of the front entry for the residents. Chairperson Harries questioned if the landscape designs for the north east public plaza area will account for the changes in elevations. Mr. Cook presented the original landscape plan developed by Hart Howerton for the plaza and stated that the proposed landscaping will remain and will accommodate the change in elevation along Westward Drive while keeping the retail elements level. Mr. Cook presented the rendering for the townhouses on Westward Drive. The fifth floors of the buildings are now proposed to be setback from the front fa9ade there will be 3 private roof top elements that will be accessible from the elevator and stairs. Mr. Cook presented the elevations and material illustrations and stated that there will be an increase in the overall building area of approximately 500 square feet; from 306,227 square feet to 306,751 square feet. Mr. Cook stated that the overall parking space count in the garage has decreased from 204 spaces to 201 spaces, and the total unit count has been reduced from 104 to 100. Edward McCarthy asked Mr. Cook how many retail stores are planned for the block and asked where visitors will park. Mr. Cook stated that there are 3 retails spaces proposed for the building. One retail space will be in the plaza across from DeCicco's and two retails spaces will be located along Westward Drive to draw people to the waterfront park. Peter Chavkin stated that as part of the Site Plan approval granted in December, the required parking spaces were split up to have 204 spaces in the Block-H building; 50 of the required parking spaces would be supplied in the Block-F parking garage; and the remaining balance of the 18 required parking spaces would be supplied in the future Block-K garage. The garage for Block-H will be private to the building residents and their guests. There will be publicly accessible parking spaces to support the retail spaces located across Lighthouse Landing in Block-F and Block-K. Chairperson Harries requested that the applicant submit copies of any of the new documents presented at this meeting. Mr. Chavkin stated that part of the Site Plan approval, the applicant was required to supply a landscape plan to resolve the concern of the headlights exiting the parking garage and solutions for screening the view of the utility equipment in the Village Green for the residents of Ichabod's Landing. Mr. Chavkin presented the proposed landscape plan and stated that they propose to add a series of evergreen trees for screening and that they agree to have the Building Inspector 10 (2/17/22) �perform an inspection to confirm that the trees satisfy the concerns when completed. Screened walls are also proposed at the transformer location along Westward Drive. Chairperson Harries asked Mr. Chavkin to confirm that they plan to present the proposed signage for ARB approval at a later date. Mr. Chavkin confirmed that they plan on submitting the proposed signage for ARB approval at a later date. Erin Carney suggested that it would be helpful for the applicant to present how connectivity throughout the site and to the river front park will be safely accessible for bicycles. Chairperson Harries stated that although the streets have been approved it would be helpful if directional signs are provided to guide pedestrians and bicyclists through the site. Mr. Chavkin stated that the intention of the Special Permit was to design the roadways to have limited speed limits and to be wide enough to allow for shared vehicular and pedestrian/bicycle traffic; and did not include separate bike lanes. The streets are owned by the Village and the Village Board is responsible for providing details for pedestrian uses and direction. David Smith read the resolve clauses and the conditions of the amended draft resolution. Chairperson Harries stated that the Planning Board waives the requirement for a public hearing due to the minor changes of the approved site plan amendment.

And please also post it online. To the members of the Planning Board: Thank you for extending the Public Hearing to allow for more people to express their concerns and/or support for aspects of the 135 Beekman proposal. I have commented a number of times on my concern that the proposed building does not meet the height requirements of the Lower Beekman overlay zone and design standards, but must now set that aside in light of the ruling that has been given on this issue. What I have not done publicly to date is to thank the Planning Board and Building Department for the improvements that have been made in the site plan as a result of your comments and suggestions. I speak especially to the Beekman Avenue facade and the mansard roof, which will help the building fit better into the historic lower Beekman streetscape. Now I would like to see if it's possible for the Planning Board to address an additional issue that concerns me — the loss of several moderately priced housing units when the existing house is torn down. It's my understanding that there are currently three apartments in that building with rents below market rate. At one session of the public hearing, someone asked the developer if he would be willing to commit to include three "affordable" units in the new building to replace those |ost to demolition. And he responded Yes, he would be ,ivilling to do that. So I'm wondering if the Planning Board might raise the question with him again to see if he's still willing to do that, as a way of helping the Village address the urgent need for more affordable housing. And if he agrees, could the Planning Board make this a provision of site plan approval? ideally at 60-80% of Westchester AMI? What he might lose in rent would surely be repaid with good will. I will not be attending the Planning Board meeting this evening, but hope someone from the Planning Board or Building Department might raise the question with the developer. Thanks to all the Planning Board members for your willingness to spend so many hours on working to make new development happen, and ensuring that the resulting buildings enhance the livability and visual qualities that make our village so special.

Anne White lives at 3301 Kendall Way and stated that she wasn't able to testify at last month's meeting because there wasn't a virtual option. Ms. White stated via Zoom webinar that the comments she submitted for last month's meeting are now posted on the website. Ms. White stated that the proposal submitted does not meet the requirements of the new Zoning Code; specifically, that beyond 80 feet from the edge of the sidewalk, the maximum height of the building is to be 25 feet. She stated that she submitted an illustration to show how the proposed building could be changed to meet the Zoning Code by going up higher in the middle of the building where 55 feet is allowed and then stepping down to 25 feet in the back and eliminate the terrible effects of the big block of a building blocking air, light, and particularly a long shadow at 2 (1/20/22) �sunset. Anne White stated that it would be useful for the Chair, the Village Architect, or the Village Attorney to clarify why their perspective is that the building meets the new requirements of the Zoning Code. (See Exhibit #1) Chairperson Hsu thanked Anne White for her comments and solicited additional comments from the public. There were no other comments from the public.

Cristian Carrion, 72 Beekman Avenue, Proposed addition and alterations, Site plan approval-Preliminary-Public hearing Motion was made to open the public hearing. Moved: Chairperson Hsu Seconded: Brennan Vote 4-0 Michael Tribe is the architect representing the applicant. Mr. Tribe stated that the application proposes to continue the existing uses and will have two stores on the first floor and two apartments on the second and third floors. There are no variances required for the proposed renovations. Mr. Tribe stated that he received the review memo from James Natarelli and that their engineer will complete the percolation tests and adjust the cultec system if required. Mr. Tribe stated that renderings were submitted to show how the proposed building will fit in with the neighboring properties and stated that the street facades are similar to other buildings on the Beekman Avenue. One of the distinct elements of the proposed building that differs from other existing buildings is that they are proposing double windows in some of the rooms to bring in more daylight and provide better energy efficiency. Mr. Tribe shared the photographs of the existing conditions, the proposed construction drawings and the streetscape renderings to show how the proposed building will look with the neighboring buildings. Mr. Tribe stated that he has received the written comments that were submitted by members of the public. (See Exhibits #s 2-4) Chairperson Hsu stated that the proposed building is not in keeping with the Village's downtown Design Guidelines and that the proposed building design is more modern and not in character with the surrounding buildings on the street. Mr. Tribe stated that he will look at the design and suggested that adding a deeper cornice design may bring the proposed building in better alignment with the surrounding buildings. Kersten Harries stated that she agrees that a deeper cornice would improve the character of the building design and suggested that adding bay window bump outs may also make the building more proportional to the neighboring buildings. Ms. Harries questioned if they plan to accommodate access to light for the neighbors on the west side and if the windows proposed for the apartments in the front of the building meet the code. Mr. Tribe stated that they are installing two windows that will provide for light. 4 (1/20/22) �Chairperson Hsu stated that she agrees that providing bump outs on the front fa9ade may provide architectural consistency with the neighboring building and that the design may be too modern for the downtown location. Sean McCarthy stated that the proposed exterior fa9ade materials reference stucco for the bump out and siding with masonry sills and lintels, and asked Mr. Tribe if that is a mistake. Mr. Tribe stated that they are proposing to use Hardie Plank fiber cement board siding that will protect the building from fire. Mr. McCarthy stated that the proposed design to use masonry lintels and sills with siding does not go together and suggested that casing can be installed around the windows. Mr. McCarthy questioned if casement windows are proposed. Mr. Tribe stated that he agrees that the use of casing around the windows would allow the windows to be more in context with the neighboring buildings. Mr. Tribe stated that the windows are proposed as casements. Mr. McCarthy stated that the design for the window treatments will need to be confirmed and asked Mr. Tribe to confirm the selected materials for the store front level. Mr. Tribe stated that the store fronts are proposed to be mostly glass with metal cladding to cover the existing brick piers. Mr. McCarthy suggested that Mr. Tribe look at the metal cladding on the neighboring building and suggested that he may want to propose a different material as the metal dents with impact. Chairperson Hsu requested that Mr. Tribe provide more details for the proposed store front lighting. Mr. Tribe stated that he plans on making a separate presentation for lighting and signage and stated that his goal is to get approval to the point where they could begin working with the Building Department for construction. Mr. McCarthy stated that the lighting plan should be included in the architectural designs as part of the building fa9ade and that the signage could be handled separately depending on the tenants for the store front. Chairperson Hsu solicited additional comments from the public. There were no further public comments. Motion was made to adjourn the public hearing to the February 17, 2022 meeting.

Lighhouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, Phase III, Preliminary Subdivision, Roads & Infrastructure, Proposed concrete processing operations, Amended site plan approval- Preliminary presentation Craig Tomkins is a Project Manager for Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC and stated that during the 2015 Site Plan approval, the Planning Board identified an area for the concrete crushing operations to occur in 2017-2018. During construction, they have accumulated a tremendous amount of concrete found on the site. It is estimated that in the next 6 months to a year, there will be approximately 500 residents living in the area of the original concrete crushing location so they are proposing to move the processing operations area. It is proposed that concrete crushing machinery will be brought on site during the winter months to process the concrete into smaller pieces that can be recycled on site and used for subbase material for roadways, pipe bedding, and sidewalks. Mr. Tompkins presented an illustration to demonstrate the distance of the buildings currently occupied and projected to be occupied within the next 6 months. Mr. Tomkins stated that they have received comments from Anthony Catalano and stated that they currently have a discharge permit from Westchester County permitting to discharge water into the sanitary system. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Tompkins if they propose to continue to bring the material to this location and complete the process over the winter. Mr. Tompkins stated that it is an expensive operation to bring the machinery on site so they would look to accumulate large amounts of concrete before processing. Sean McCarthy requested that Mr. Tomkins confirm that they will continue to provide monitoring of dust control. Mr. Tompkins stated that they will continue to have on-site environmental personnel to set up the three monitoring stations for site dust control and that the readings are reported to the Department of Environmental Conservation. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Tompkins if additional protection will be required for the areas behind the wall along the pedestrian pathways. Mr. Tompkins stated that there is approximately 300 feet from the temporary pathways and the machinery will not create a noise issue, and will be a quick operation. Chairperson Hsu requested that Mr. Tompkins confirm the daily working hours for the crushing operations. 6 (1/20/22) �Mr. Tompkins stated that they propose to work from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm during the weekdays and 9:00 to 6:00 on weekends; although he doesn't foresee the need to work on a Saturday. Anthony Catalano requested that Mr. Tompkins add the notes to the drawings to address the points that were discussed and added to the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan as a supplement to confirm that the conditions of the site are accurate. Mr. Tomkins stated that their team completes inspections twice a week, Woodard & Curran is on site once a week, and Sean McCarthy also inspects the site regularly. Peter Chavkin is a Managing Partner of Biddle Real Estate Ventures on behalf of Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC and stated that as per the Special Permit approval, there are prescribed distances from residential buildings for areas where concrete crushing operations are located. David Smith stated that the Special Permit detailed that concrete crushing operations were required to be 500 feet from existing residential buildings and it was intended to protect the residents of Ichabod's Landing. Peter Chavkin stated that the proposed concrete crushing locations are significantly far from any occupied residential buildings and the proposed occupancy of future buildings. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Planning Board is comfortable waiving the public hearing because it has been approved in the past and they are only requesting to move the location. Motion was made to waive a public hearing for the amended site plan approval. Moved: McCarthy Seconded: Harries Vote 4-0 Motion was made to approve the application and to direct David Smith to prepare a confirmatory resolution for the February 17, 2022 meeting.

Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, Block O/P Townhome, Phase II, Preliminary subdivision plat and site plan approvalPresentation and request for height variance Andrew Tung is an associate of DTS Provident Design Engineering, LLP representing the applicant and stated that the submissions for this meeting include the presentation made by Bill McGuiness from Sun Homes in regards to the proposed architectural concepts for the O/P Townhomes Two. Mr. Tung stated that they met with the Zoning Board of Appeals at last night's 7 (1/20/22) �meeting and they are seeking comments from the Planning Board for the requested height variance for the Block O/P townhomes to go from 42 feet to 48 feet within the zone west of the railroad tracks in which a 300-foot slot is limited to 42 feet. Similar variances were approved in Block-I, Block-J, Block-E, and in Block O/P Townhomes One. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Tung if these will be the last height variances that will be requested. Mr. Tung stated that there is a possibility that the applicant may request another height variance for the future North Retail Building in Block-A. Motion was made to support the proposed height variance application submitted to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Moved: Chairperson Hsu Seconded: Harries Vote 4-0 Mr. Tung stated that the applicant has made progress with the further development of the site plan to address the comments received from the Planning Board and the consultants. Mr. Tung presented an illustrative site plan and stated that the applicant proposes the addition of Block-N to the Block O/P site plan application site. Block-N is proposed to contain a clubhouse and amenity facilities with an outdoor recreation area for the residents of Block O/P in lieu of its original location. An additional on-grade parking lot with 44 spaces is also proposed to be located in this area to provide additional overall parking spaces for the residents of the Block O/P. Mr. Tung described the changes proposed for the circulation and the layout of the buildings and the road systems to provide better vehicular and pedestrian connectivity, and more open space in between the units. Mr. Tung stated that the revised application also proposes to move one of the units from the central island to Hollows Pass so that all of the units in the island will face onto open spaces. Peter Chavkin stated that a total of two units were removed from the interior park area. One unit was moved to Hollows Pass and one unit was totally removed from the plan. Mr. Chavkin stated that there is a total increase of one unit on the revised site plan because two units were added in the previous location of the amenity building. As a result of the changes to the plan, they will be increasing the diagonal distance between the corners of the units in the interior park area to be between 23-25 feet; and this is a greater in distance than a similar configuration in Block-J. Mr. Chavkin stated than the additional 44 parking spaces in Block-N will allow for the proposed units with shortened driveways to be constructed as four-bedroom units because the residents will have access to the additional overflow parking. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Tung if the Planning Board has received the plan presented. Mr. Tung stated that the plans presented will be submitted before the next meeting along with updated engineering drawings and responses to the received comments. Kersten Harries requested to see a comparison of the proposed site layout. Mr. Tung presented the past and current site plan illustrations to show the proposed changes side by side. 8 (1/20/22) �Kersten Harries asked Mr. Tung to describe what was originally proposed for Block N. Peter Chavkin stated that the development of Block-N wasn't planned because they were waiting on the final plans for the connection bridge from the West Parcel to the East Parcel. Kersten Harries questioned the reason for the proposed increase in the number of units along the northern most border of Hollows Pass. Peter Chavkin stated that the reasoning behind adding the seventh unit and removing the green space was to eliminate views to the adjacent unit driveways and to open up views of the Kingsland Point Park buffer and the use of the internal circulation and parking. Chairperson Hsu asked the applicant if the proposed width ratios of the townhome buildings have changed. Andrew Tung stated that they are working with the builder to confirm the varied widths based on site conditions. Peter Chavkin stated that they will submit a comparison detailing the widths for the February meeting. Kersten Harries requested that Peter Chavkin confirm that he stated that there would be a net gain of one more unit in the revised site plan in addition to the one net gain from the original concept plan for this block. Ms. Harries asked where they are at for the total number of units for the Edge-on-Hudson Development. Mr. Chavkin stated that there is a net gain of one more unit in addition to the one net gain of units from the original concept plan. Mr. Chavkin stated that they will have 1,177 units and that they will try not to be over or under. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Chavkin if they propose to add more units in this block, where do they anticipate subtracting units from other blocks. Mr. Chavkin stated that every time they have processed a site plan, the unit count has shifted from the Riverfront Development Concept Plan ("RDCP"). Block-E has half as many units as the RDCP contemplated, Block-I has more units and Block-J is equivalent. Block-A and BlockB originally anticipated residential units where the DeCicco's building will be. Mr. Chavkin stated that the units proposed in Block O/P would have been in Blocks M, K or Q. They are reallocating the density to the most desirable product they have right now. Kersten Harries requested that the applicant supply a chart for the next meeting that details how the total unit counts have been allocated. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Chavkin if they would be ready for a public hearing in February. Mr. Chavkin stated they can prepare the engineering drawings and responses to questions from the consultants for the February meeting. 9 (1/20/22) �Kersten Harries questioned if the "Kit of Parts" information submitted is intended to represent all of the buildings in the block. Mr. Chavkin stated that the "Kit of Parts" presented by Bill McGuiness is intended to be the "Kit of Parts" for the entire balance of Block-O/P and that Sun Homes is comfortable presenting the composed elevations of each building for review by Building Department to forward to the Architectural Review Board or to come before the ARB for approval if required. Motion was made to set the public hearing for the February 17, 2022 meeting. Moved: Chairperson Hsu Seconded: Brennan Vote 4-0 8. LL Parcel, I, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, 101, 203, 305 Legend Drive (Block-I), Proposed entrance canopy substitutions, Amended site plan approvalPreliminary presentation David Sands is the Director of Development for Toll Brothers Apartment Living and stated that the application proposes a modification of the canopies in front of the entrances to the buildings. Mr. Sands stated that during the process of fabrication and installation, they have found that the current design does not handle snow and wind loads. The proposed design will be a supported structure that will be built back into the building. Although the proposed canopies will look thicker than the previously approved canopies, they will weigh just as much and will not have to be bolted to the building. Chairperson Hsu requested that Mr. Sands present an example of the originally approved canopies and to describe what material was proposed. Mr. Sands stated that the original canopies were metal material and the proposed canopies will be framed out of wood and cladded with a material that will look similar to metal. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Block-I buildings were approved to have an industrial heritage of the General Motors site and that the buildings were supposed to be metal and glass. The proposed canopies appear clunky and out of place. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Sands to explain why the original canopy design cannot be installed into the structure. Mr. Sands stated the original canopy design was a thinner metal that could be bolted onto the building. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Sands if they have consulted with different engineering firms on metal canopy options. Mr. Sands stated that their structural engineer has tracked down every metal manufacturer possible and was unable to come up with a better solution. David Smith asked Mr. Sands how the proposed canopies will be mounted to the building if the originally approved canopies were to be bolted to the building fa9ade. 10 (1/20/22) �Mr. Sands stated that wood 2' x 10's will be installed 4-6 feet into the building and be bolted on the trusses within the structure. David Smith asked Mr. Sands why the originally approved metal canopies can't be installed in the same way. Mr. Sands stated that their architect and structural engineer said that it was not possible. Kersten Harries stated that the roof coverage is not the same in the old drawing verses the new drawing. Ms. Harries requested that Mr. Sands confirm that in the new drawing the coverage is just above the doors and cantilevering out but before it appeared to be over the entire landing. Mr. Sands stated that Ms. Harries is correct in her statement regarding the roof coverage. Ms. Harries questioned if there are section drawings of the approved canopies verses what it proposed and stated that it would help the Board to understand the dimensions and why something closer to the original plan can't be completed. Mr. Sands presented the plans that were originally approved and stated that he doesn't have section drawings. Ryan Tuttle is an associate with Toll Brothers and asked if the Board is requesting that they try and get back to the metal canopies or if they are requesting for them to thin out the profile. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Board is requesting that Toll Brothers keep the aesthetic of the metal and thinner profile that received Site Plan approval. Chairperson Hsu requested that Mr. Sands provide an update on the construction of Block-I and the expected occupancy. Mr. Sands stated that they have been having delays with getting gas into building but they are hoping to have it resolved within the next couple of weeks and hope to get Temporary Certificates of Occupancy with the next two months; and to be able to start occupying the buildings. Ryan Tuttle stated that they will investigate options in order to keep the metal canopy materials. Mr. Sands asked Chairperson Hsu if a public hearing would be necessary for this application. Chairperson Hsu stated that if they revise the application to keep the same design and material, they will not need to amend the Site Plan and would not require a public hearing. Ryan Tuttle asked Chairperson Hsu if they would be required to come back before the Planning Board if they are able to make the approved Site Plan work. 11 (1/20/22) �Chairperson Hsu stated that Toll Brothers would not be required to come back before the Board if they are able to make the approved Site Plan work and can work out the details with the Building Department. Mr. Sands asked Mr. McCarthy if it would be acceptable if changes were made so that the canopy over the door area would be completely covered but the areas that are not above the doors would be open slatted so that the snow load wouldn't carry all the way across. Mr. McCarthy stated that the will need to take into consideration that the purpose of the canopy is to maintain the safe egress in and out of the buildings. If snow and ice is going to accumulate on the platform, they would need to consider extending the canopy roof over to protect the area. No action was taken. 9. LL Parcel, E, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, 102 Legend Drive, (Building-E-1), Utility enclosure, Amended site plan approval-Preliminary presentation Andrew Tung is an associate of DTS Provident Design Engineering, LLP representing the applicant. Mr. Tung presented a photograph of the northern face of the building to show that the gas regulator and piping equipment is exposed. The applicant previously came before the Board to obtain amended site plan approval for the screen walls in front of the locations of the outdoor gas meters and regulator equipment. The equipment was not installed in compliance with the Site Plan and further extended out into the public sidewalk just over the property line. Mr. Tung stated that as per Con Edison's determination there is not sufficient room to install the gas regulator within the screen wall. The applicant proposes for Con Edison to remove the exposed piping and reinstall it flat against the building so that it will all be behind the property line. Toll Brothers will install an ornamental metal screen wall in front of the piping that will extend the length of the brick line and still allow for air ventilation. Mr. Tung presented the proposed gas regulator enclosure plan and an example of the metal screen wall that will be used. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Tung what part of the gas equipment requires the air circulation. Robert Dowd is the Assistant Vice President of Toll Brothers, New York Division, and stated that the screening is proposed to provide screening from the road and provide Con Edison access for service. Sean McCarthy stated that the gas equipment is required to be open to the air for ventilation in case it leaks and so that gas will not build up in a confined space. The gas regulator is permitted to be located inside the building but it would then need a ventilated pipe connected to it. Chairperson Hsu asked if the applicant can move the regulator and the piping inside the building. Mr. Dowd stated that there is not enough room inside the building or inside the screen wall. Mr. McCarthy stated that in addition to providing aesthetics from the road, because of the proximity to the public way, they want to avoid people climbing on it and getting hurt, or from vehicles going over the curb and hitting it. 12 (1/20/22) �Kersten Harries asked if clearances would allow them to continue the brick screen wall. Mr. Tung stated that the required clearances would not allow them to consider the continuance of the brick screen wall. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Tung to confirm if they are confident that the metal screening will provide enough safety and if they anticipate having the same problem in the other two E buildings. Mr. Tung stated that the E-2 building has a larger screen wall area that they believe they can work with or have room to move the wall a foot or two. The E-3 building has a similar size to the E-1 building and they are working with Con-Edison to see how it can be addressed. Chairperson Hsu asked if the E-3 building is also situated near the street and the pedestrian sidewalk. Mr. Tung stated that the E-3 building location has even less room than the E-1 building and the corner of the building and the screen wall are right on the boundary and will have to be solved in a different way because there will not be a building wall to hang the equipment on. Ms. Harries suggested that the applicant consider the options of putting the gas equipment inside the E-3 building. Robert Dowd stated that they will look into the solutions for the E-3 building. Ms. Harries asked Mr. Tung if the metal wall would protect the gas piping equipment from vehicle damage. Mr. Tung stated that the metal screening would be decorative and not designed to withstand the impact of a car. The area is located in front of a parking space and across the sidewalk. Ms. Harries stated that she is amendable to the circumstance of this building and finding a panel that will work but wants to make sure that the applicant resolves the situation and avoids coming before the Board for the other E-Buildings. Robert Dowd stated that he agrees. Ed McCarthy stated that he agrees that the equipment should be moved up against the wall and screened in on the building so that they get the heat on. Chairperson Hsu asked if the heat is the only barrier preventing occupancy of the building. Mr. Dowd stated that Con-Edison needs to turn the heat on, deal with the piping issue, and install the (17) gas meters for the units and (1) gas meter in the common area. After the water is turned on, they can request the fire suppression inspections. They will then request inspections from the Building Department for Certificate of Occupancies. The top floor is pretty much done and they 13 (1/20/22) �are wrapping up the first floor. The elevators are 90% done. The units are carpeted and painted. The exterior landscaping is completed. They have gone over the fence security with Sean McCarthy so that when they start construction on Building E-3, the surrounding area will enclosed and safe. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Dowd for an estimated occupancy date for Building E-1. Mr. Dowd estimated that the building will be ready for occupancy by the end of February. Mr. Dowd stated that the proposed custom metal screening material fabrication is on back order and will not be available for delivery for 10-12 weeks and asked if temporary screening could be installed as a condition of the Certificate of Occupancy. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from Sean McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy stated that temporary screening could be a condition of the Certificate of Occupancy and suggested that they contact an ornamental iron worker that may be able to provide a quicker fabrication date. Mr. McCarthy asked Mr. Dowd if the design pattern is confirmed. Robert Dowd stated that the illustration provided is the proposed design pattern of the metal screening and will be painted to match the building. Sean McCarthy asked the Board if they would prefer the metal screening to be painted grey to match the building or painted to match the brick screen wall. Mr. McCarthy also suggested a more simple design pattern may be preferable. Kersten Harries suggested that a more simple design and matching the brick would draw less attention to the screening. Chairperson Hsu stated that the applicant is encouraged to not require screening solutions for the other E buildings. Motion was made to waive the public hearing, approve the application subject to approval by the Building Department for the final design of the metal screening, and to direct David Smith to draft a confirmatory resolution for the February 17, 2022 meeting.

Please accept my comments on the 72 Beekman application. My neighbor Rachael Ricker has also written and I echo her concerns about the appearance of the proposed facade. The proposed facade at 72 Beekman does not fit that block. All due respect to the applicant and their architect - the facade lacks character. You could find that building literally anywhere in the country. This is a Rivertown and there is a distinctive, historical architectural character to these towns. The importance of the design of 72 Beekman is only amplified because that block, with its placement across the street from Morse School, is the center of downtown Sleepy Hollow. Moreover, I urge the board to consider that the aesthetic of this building is critical since it is the first major development on that block in recent history. Its only a matter of time before the lot at 66 Beekman is developed. What happens with this building will set the precedent for the development that will eventually happen there. I respectfully propose that the the facade of 72 Beekman follow the aesthetic guidelines that have been proposed for the Lower Beekman Design Standards Overlay District. https://www.sleepyhollowny.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif3816/f/events/2021-0630_sleepyhollow_zoningcodeupdates_draft.pdf Those design standards, in my humble opinion, fit the character of the Rivertowns, a character that I think many of us moved here for. I urge the board - Keep Sleepy Hollow distinct. Kind regards, Matthew Presseau 92 Pocantico Street �EXHIBIT #3 Subject: 72 Beekman Avenue - Comments Received from 287 North Washington Street From: Sean McCarthy <smccarthy@sleepyhollowny.org> Sent: Friday, January 21, 2022 8:54 AM To: Pamela Kroll <pkroll@sleepyhollowny.org> Subject: FW: 72 Beekman application Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2022 6:01 PM To: Sean McCarthy <smccarthy@sleepyhollowny.org> Subject: 72 Beekman application Dear Planning Board Committee MembersI am writing to express concern for the application for alterations to 72 Beekman. This project has come to my attention and the renderings show a building that is both out of character with the village and more importantly has eliminated all existing charm on the building. I believe that with some modifications, the facade can fit nicely onto beekman.

The architectural style pictured is more modern than anything that currently exists on Beekman Avenue and does not look cohesive with our Sleepy Hollow neighborhood. The current application is an improvement over the rendering that was posted on the applicant's instagram page last June, but still does not suit its surroundings. I hope some modifications to the facade can be made so that we end up with a building that looks like it was always a part of Sleepy Hollow.

(See Exhibit #1) There were no other comments from the public. Motion was made to adjourn the public hearing to the April 21, 2022 meeting. Moved: Harries Seconded: McCarthy Vote 6-0 4. 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.

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.

No further revisions were received from the Board of Trustees other than the questions received from Trustee Connell and Trustee Leon. Chairperson Hsu stated that the members of the Working Committee include herself, Thomas Andruss, Rachelle Gebler, David Smith, Kersten Harries, and Sean McCarthy. The Committee met again after receiving the questions from the Trustees. Chairperson Hsu solicited questions from the Board. Lindsay Krakauer asked what official action the Planning Board is required to submit by the 45day timeframe. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Building Department will answer most of the questions from the Trustees and that Sean McCarthy will write the responses that can be answered by the Building Department. 1 (6/2/22) �David Smith stated that the Village Board is the only body that can amend the Zoning Code. The Planning Board is required to review the proposed amendments and to respond with their recommendations or comments within the 45-day time limit. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Working Committee agreed with the most of the changes The main areas discussed were the off-street parking and the waiver to properties less than 30 feet wide to be exempt from the off-street parking regulations. The revisions also include changing the maximum building height on Beekman Avenue from 55 feet back to 45 feet. Kersten Harries stated that the discussions also included the clarification of off-site verses offstreet parking. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Strategic Property Redevelopment (SBR) Floating Zone will apply only to municipal properties. The Adaptive Reuse of Religious, Educational, and Institutional Buildings Criteria will be reviewed and granted a Special Permit by the Board of Trustees. The Board agreed that the Lower Beekman Avenue Design Standard District Regulations Booklet amended to say Design Guidelines will provide flexibility to developers, avoid sending applicants to the Zoning Board, and will provide guidance to applicants as to what the Planning Board is looking for, without being too restrictive. The Board agreed that any enforceable regulations should be included in the Zoning Code. The Planning Board will be able to evaluate and approve an application that differs from the guidelines if the project in beneficial for the neighborhood. The Board discussed the Development Incentives for the C-2 district and agreed that it will drive the behaviors of developers towards affordability, sustainability, green building strategies and infrastructure, and streetscape improvements. Erin Carney asked how the approved Development Incentives will be tracked and questioned if there should be code requirements for items related to affordable housing and green infrastructure on Beekman Avenue and in other areas of the Village. David Smith stated that the Building Department is responsible for making sure that the incentive items are completed and that a condition is included in resolutions that requires that an as-built survey be submitted for review before the Certificate of Occupancy is issued. Rachelle Gebler stated that the Board of Trustees reviews and grants Special Permits for the Development Incentive Program. David Smith asked if the Board of Trustees decided that municipal projects will not be referred to the Planning Board for approval.

Chairperson Hsu stated that after the Planning Board submits their responses the Board of Trustees would set a public hearing to review the changes. David Smith stated that if the Board of Trustees has already scheduled a public hearing, any revisions to the proposed zoning code should be re-noticed.

Moved: Hsu Seconded: Brennan Vote 6-0 Michael Tribe is the architect representing the applicant. Mr. Tribe stated that improvements were made to the plans based on the comments from the last meeting. Mr. Tribe presented that logistics plan and stated that drawings for the sidewalk bridge will be submitted to the Building Department for approval and Mr. Carrion will request one dedicated parking space for the construction materials. 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. David Smith asked Mr. Tribe for the square footage of each apartment space. Mr. Tribe stated that each apartment would be a three-bedroom unit with approximately 1,000 square feet. 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. Kersten Harries asked Mr. Tribe if there is a way to provide windows in the common space of the second floor apartment. Mr. Tribe stated that he will further discuss it with Sean McCarthy to see if they can find a way to accomplish adding windows in the second floor apartment space. Chairperson Hsu requested that David Smith prepare a draft resolution for the June 16, 2022 meeting. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the public. There were no comments from the public.

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. Moved: Hsu Seconded: Harries Chairperson Hsu - yes Kersten Harries - yes Ed McCarthy - yes Erin Carney- yes Matthew Brennan - yes Rachelle Gebler- yes Vote 6-0 APPROVED 11 (5/19/22) �12. Zoning Code Amendments, Board of Trustees referral-Discussion Chairperson Hsu stated that on May 10, 2022 the Board of Trustees made a referral to the Planning Board but they have yet to see the actual resolution or the specific code that the Board wants them to respond to. 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.

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.

Mr. Tung stated that application proposes to construct a stick built sales trailer on Block M to serve future residents of Block H. Mr. Tung stated that Block M is part of the Phase III Roads and Infrastructure Site Plan and is currently a vacant lot. The proposed sales trailer will be a one-story office building, approximately 46 ft. x 77 ft., and located on the western portion of the lot, at the corner of Palisades Boulevard and Westward Drive. There will be a temporary parking lot with (13) spaces and accessible access. Mr. Tung presented an illustrative floor plan and described the proposed layout and exterior materials. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Tung when the sales will start for the Block H building. Mr. Tung stated that they anticipate the sales for the Block H building will start in the beginning of 2023. 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. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Tompkins how long it would take to construct the sales building. 7 (6/16/22) �Mr. Tompkins stated that it would take four to five months to construct the temporary building. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the public. There were no comments from the public. Chairperson Hsu asked Sean McCarthy if he thinks that a draft resolution can be prepared and if he has conditions that he would like included. Sean McCarthy stated that the applicant should address open items so that conditions are not required. Mr. McCarthy asked Mr. Tompkins if there is a signage plan. 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. Chairperson Hsu requested that David Smith prepare a draft resolution for the July 21, 2022 meeting. Motion was made to adjourn the public hearing to the July 21, 2022 meeting.

Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on Hudson Riverfront Development, Block O/P & N Townhomes Phase II, Proposed sales office, Amended Site Plan Presentation Andrew Tung is an associate with DTS Provident Design Engineering LLP representing the applicants. 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.

Moved: Hsu Seconded: Krakauer Vote 4-0 Craig Tompkins is the Project Manager for Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC. Mr. Tompkins stated that they have received a draft resolution and that they have no issues. Mr. Tompkins stated that a revised logistics plan was submitted proposing to use a lane on Lighthouse Landing for trucks or emergency vehicles to turn around at the dead end area on Palisades Boulevard. The logistics plan identifies the proposed work zones for Sun Homes, Block H, and the proposed sales office at Block M. 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.

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.

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.

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.
