Moved: Gross Seconded: Schulz Vote 6-0 Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Sherman if the use of the pool has changed since the original application. Mr. Sherman stated that incorporating part of the pool into a hot tub would not change the pool's footprint or the location of the equipment proposed in the basement. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board has reviewed the application with respect to noise and street visibility. She asked Mr. Sherman how much of the pool would be utilized for lap swimming when considering the stairs. Mr. Sherman stated that the lap pool area would be 30 feet in length. The planting area is three feet wide and would provide enough room for the proposed plantings. Devin Bandelli stated that they propose eliminating the stairs and using the benches to step into the pool. The Board held a discussion with the applicant and design professionals regarding the width of the planting area, whether the plantings would provide adequate screening of the pool, and whether the plantings are salt-tolerant. James Natarelli discussed the open engineering comments with the applicants’ engineer, Brian Hildenbrand, related to the stormwater retention designs and elevations. Chairperson Krakauer asked Sean McCarthy if the Zoning Board of Appeals had approved the current use of the pool. Sean McCarthy stated that the Zoning Board approval did not include the spa. The Board requested that the applicant increase the size of the planting area, address the stormwater management concerns, and revise and coordinate the site plan, landscape plan, and engineering plans to correctly identify what is being proposed. Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the public. 3 (11/20/25) �There were no public comments.

Just in case I'm Not able to discuss our concerns I am outlining here. Concerns & Requests: Conditions on approvals to mitigate potential negative effects on our property. *We have not seen the effect of the trees being knocked down and how that will impact light on our property. We are also concerned with other trees that may not be knocked down and what will be done to ensure safety to our property should the impact of the removal change the stability of what is surrounding.   Pre construction surveys and restoration previsions along with a commitment to restore any damage post construction. Mitigation Plans to address specific on site and off site impacts, such as water runoff, erosion, sedimentation and potential flooding. *Through the biggest storms we have never had water enter through our garage or basement. We want to be sure that is addressed in the testing phase. We have many items that would have to be moved should that change without notice. Environmental Impact to address noise, pollution, traffic and effect on the local ecosystem and natural features. *Since they dug two weeks ago, we have seen an increase in dangerous wildlife. What are the measures being taken to prevent dangerous impacts stemming from uncovering burrowed nests of vermin? We are wondering why any digging or testing was conducted without first addressing that? �*Very Important. Our garage is directly across from the construction zone. During the few days of testing we had cars parked and blocking our normal routines of pulling in and out of our driveway, and our son's ability to practice basketball. We also have a dog that spends time in our yard and are concerned about the emissions and what potentially that can mean. We also walk her and are concerned about debris from future work left behind. We have not seen signage that the site is OSHA compliant and with our son and other kids playing on the street by our house we need to know that all compliance is in order. My wife works for corporate America from home 3-4 days a week on meetings and needs to maintain connectivity so will need to be sure that provisions are in place for power and internet if disrupted. She also will need to be able to maintain reasonable professional standards during calls with coworkers, managers and others. There are days that she presents from home so a schedule of work should be worked out with that in mind. Ultimately we are concerned with activity that may interfere with the enjoyment and use of our property. This includes but is not limited to; Noise pollution, odors, other environmental pollutants and physical hazards or obstructions. We would like to request that the new property owner insure and indemnify us for damages and claims arising from their work. As well we would like to be put on their insurance as additionally insured to cover anything should it arise. Also should the construction require access on our property we would like to be made aware of that prior to construction so a comprehensive plan and agreement for any impacts it will have on our time and our property. I think that is it for this round.   Be Well, Ross & Kristy "Set a goal so big that you can't achieve it until you grow into the person who can." -- Zig Ziglar �Exhibit #4 RECEIVED Janice and Robert Landrum 469 ½ Munroe Avenue Sleepy Hollow, NY d10591 NOV 2 0 2025 BUILDING DEPT: VILLAGE OF SLEEPY HOLLOW Chairperson Krakauer c/o Village of Sleepy Hollow Dept. of Architecture, Land Use Development Buildings and Building Compliance 28 Beekman Ave. Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591 Dear Mr. Krakauer, We live directly next to 467 ½ Munroe Avenue, which has submitted plans for development of a home. We have two concerns about the plan: trees and drainage. 1. There is a honey locust tree, in poor condition, almost on the common property line approximately 36 feet back from Munroe Avenue. History of splitting and dropping branches. The trunk is split now, and half of tree appears dead. Tree dropped a branch on a car of ours, nearly totaled it. Please take it down. This serves as notice that failure to tend to this tree is negligence, and whatever damage it causes to our property is the property owner's liability. 2. We want advance notice of any tree and grading work to be done, so that we can secure any of our property possibly affected. Our driveway, cars and home are very close to the areas which will be under removal, pruning, grading and construction. 3. We have never had flooding in our yard or home. But the lot to be developed is higher than ours by several feet, and currently heavily wooded. With trees removed and grading, and a roof deflecting water rather than absorbing, there needs to be an effective drainage plan. Gutter and drainage system away from our property?

The paths around "The Cove" (at the north end, connecting to Kingsland Point Park) are 6 feet wide (Sheet SP-1.00, PDF page 27). The other parts are 10 feet wide. Riverwalk is a major route for walking and cycling, with high volumes of people. Guidelines say paths with these conditions should be at least 12 feet wide. Ideally, there would be separate paths for walking and cycling. Sincerely, --Dan �Exhibit #6 From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Alec Miller Sean McCarthy; samantha miller Pamela Kroll One Kingsland Riverwalk Phase 3 concerns Sunday, November 16, 2025 8:35:54 AM Dear Mr. McCarthy and the planning committee: We are local residents and we have purchased a home on 355 Hollows Pass, Sleepy Hollow as part of One Kingsland. We understand there are plans to put in a splash park, an ice skating rink, a fire pit, along with a bathroom along the Riverwalk. We are strongly opposed to this plan as we prefer to have that portion of the park resemble the beautiful design of the lower portion of the park, which is walkways and benches and beautiful landscaping. We are very concerned about creating any reason for people to congregate for hours, day and night--instead of having transient walkers like ourselves who keep moving through the park. Additionally maintaining such structures that require ongoing maintenance, cleaning, and security, is an unnecessary expense with low reward and high risk. We understand in Feb 2023, at a town hearing, the expert discouraged building an ice rink or any structure that would cause people to congregate at the base of a residential property for the aforementioned reasons. Our family and our neighbors much prefer to have a quieter and safer Riverwalk for all parties to enjoy year round, encouraging people to walk through the park, rest on a bench, and take in the beautiful sights and sounds of the Hudson. Thank you for your strong consideration of our request. Sincerely, Alec L. Miller and Samantha L.

Jenkins Westchester County Executive November 18, 2025 Sean McCarthy, Village Architect Village of Sleepy Hollow 28 Beekman Avenue Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591 County Planning Board Referral File SLH 25-003 – Waterfront Open Space Phase Two Edge-on-Hudson – Hollows Pass Site Plan Approval Dear Mr. McCarthy: The Westchester County Planning Board has received a site plan (revised October 2, 2025) and related materials for a proposed application regarding Phase Two of the waterfront open space within the ongoing Edge-on-Hudson development. This phase would construct a portion of a new waterfront park between the banks of the Hudson River and Hollows Pass, south of Kingsland Point Park (SBL 115.10-1-1.5). The site currently hosts the Sleepy Hollow Lighthouse and connecting bridge, which would remain, as well as a portion of the Westchester Riverwalk, which would be replaced through the site. The proposed park would consist of various programmed and open greenspace areas, including a kayak launch and boathouse, splash pad/ice skating rink, landscaped meadow areas, open lawn spaces, and terraces. Seating areas and public art installations would be dispersed throughout the park. Sidewalks and pathways would spread throughout the site, and connect to the Phase One space to the south, Kingsland Park to the north, and a lawn area to the east that extends through the interior of the Edge-on-Hudson development. Connection to the lighthouse would be maintained, and landscaping would be used to highlight the historic structure. A new community space and concession building would also be included. The County Planning Board was active in its review of the Edge-on-Hudson proposal between 2003 and 2011 under the provisions of Section 239 L, M and N of the General Municipal Law and Section 277.61 of the County Administrative Code, and we have reviewed periodic updates as development progresses. This Phase Two application for the waterfront park is consistent with our understanding of the larger development concept for the former General Motors site, and we offer the following comments: 1. Westchester Riverwalk. We commend the Village and the applicant for providing more public access to the waterfront via this linear open space area, which will connect to adjacent waterfront open spaces. We also appreciate that this park would continue to include routing of the Westchester Riverwalk. We recommend that the applicant and Village consult the Westchester Riverwalk Design Guidelines Manual in order to maintain aesthetic consistency in the design of signage and other applicable trail amenities. 432 Michaelian Office Building 148 Martine Avenue White Plains, New York 10601 Telephone: (914) 995-4400 Website: westchestergov.com �Referral File No. SLH 25-003 – Edge-on-Hudson Waterfront Open Space Phase Two November 18, 2025 Page 2 2. Sea level rise and flood hazard areas. We note that the location of the proposed park will act as a buffer between the Edge-on-Hudson buildings and the Hudson River. The proposed design should take into consideration anticipated sea level rise in accordance with the NYS Community Risk and Resiliency Act and the revised flood elevations as shown on the FEMA Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps, which indicate that the area is located within a Special Flood Hazard Area. 3. Bicycle access. We appreciate the inclusion of bicycle racks within the site plans, and recommend the Village consider using signage to define the route for bicycles through this open space area, or for areas where cyclists should dismount. We note the site’s close proximity to the Old Croton Aqueduct Trailway and the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge shared use path may make it an attractive destination for cyclists. 4. Green building technology. We encourage the applicant to include as much green, or sustainable building technology as possible within the proposed development, including the use of permeable pavement where possible. In addition, the Village and the applicant should give consideration towards the provision of electric vehicle parking capabilities within the proposed parking areas. 5. Universal Design. We encourage the Village to consider the principles of universal design in this development, in addition to any building standards required by ADA regulations. Universal Design standards allow all residents and visitors to fully engage in our public spaces. Universal Design is also an important means of providing accessible pedestrian access and parking for persons with mobility issues. Please inform us of the Village’s decision so that we can make it a part of the record. Thank you for calling this matter to our attention. Respectfully, WESTCHESTER COUNTY PLANNING BOARD Bernard Thombs Chair, Westchester County Planning Board BT/mv cc: Blanca Lopez, Commissioner, Westchester County Department of Planning �Exhibit #8 From: Megan Isenstadt Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2025 1:09 PM To: Sean McCarthy <smccarthy@sleepyhollowny.gov> Subject: Public hearing Waterfront Open Space at the Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development. Dear Planning Board Members, I am writing regarding the design of the Cove. I am a community advocate for river use and public access to local, affordable swimming. Currently sleepy hollow residents lack any local, affordable swim options. This cove could look like the Sleepy Hollow Beach Club and be open to residents. I would like to suggest the design for this area include the following additions with this in mind: Maintain Beach access for the potential of future swimming site Explore floating pool/ seasonal floating dock for swimming. Provide picnic benches with shade trees along the water front. Bathroom structure: 1. Bathroom structure should include Outdoor shower hook ups. Whether or not this is installed for use now- pls include connections for future. 2. 2 stalls is not enough. Suggest min 3 and a family stall with changing table. SUP storage is not included in this plan. A kiosk or shack for water sports rentals should be included in this plan. Sincerely, Megan Isenstadt 287 N Washington st �Exhibit #9 From: Rachael Ricker < Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2025 2:08 PM To: Sean McCarthy <smccarthy@sleepyhollowny.gov> Subject: Waterfront Open Space Public Comment; Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development Dear Planning Board Members, I am writing regarding the proposed design for the Cove. One major gap in our village is the lack of nearby opportunities for swimming and waterfront recreation. There is a clear disparity among residents who are only able to access swimming through costly options such as the Crest, a condo unit in The Edge that includes a pool, or home ownership that grants access to the Philipse Manor Beach Club. Currently, the majority of Sleepy Hollow residents lack accessible and affordable swimming options within their own community. With that in mind, I respectfully request that the design incorporate water access and swimming facilities. We have an opportunity to look to the Philipse Manor Beach Club as inspiration and create a similar experience—one that is open and available to all residents. Picnic areas, shaded seating, swim access, and space for community events are sorely needed, and the Cove presents an incredible opportunity to offer these amenities to everyone who lives here. Thank you for your time and consideration. These additions would help ensure that the Cove becomes a vibrant, accessible, and community-centered space for all residents of Sleepy Hollow. Sincerely, Rachael Ricker 255 N Washington St �Exhibit #10 From: Benjie Sirota Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2025 6:21 PM To: Sean McCarthy <smccarthy@sleepyhollowny.gov>; Paula Mccarthy <pmccarthy@sleepyhollowny.gov> Subject: Waterfront park design comments for the Planning board It is very exciting to see the next section of the waterfront park being developed for our community. I wanted to give feedback on the design and ask questions about items that were not clear, so we can help refine the design together as a community. The designers need to explain the scale of each space so we understand how they work. We also should push the design team to provide more opportunities for residents to get into and engage with the Hudson. I am sharing comments broken into a few categories: Overall Park design There are no dimensions or scales on the proposed designs, making it hard for the public to comprehend the public spaces and pathways. I noticed that there were dimensions are on the previous design from 2024 The view sheds are not all clearly defined, please provide a broader context site map that explains site orientations Amount of trees in the park could easily increase by at least 10% The amount of hardscape could easily be reduced by at least 10%. Is the proposed grading much different from the existing condition? There should be wayfinding included at the waterfront park There should be historical markers / signage dedicated explaining the local natural environment, historical context or previous historical residents.   There should be public art. It would be a great opportunity to represent the historic site. There is no visible remnants from the 100 plus years of local automobile heritage Names of the new spaces and buildings should reference historical residents & icons There should be an outdoor space dedicated to host placemaking and cultural events Will the connections into Kingsland be open to walk through during all hours once complete? Page 4 is the only drawing that shows the meadow design and is mainly focused on circulation. Can you please define the design more clearly in this area of the park? �The meadow is not clearly defined along with the connections into Kingsland park Splash pad / seasonal skating is very small and an awkward shape for skating. There is also very little shade provided at the splash pad. A splash pad this close to the river would be better served in another location within the village, especially considering there is beach access directly adjacent. It could be moved to Barnhart park, where the splash pad is planned to be replaced, other locations could be Kingsland or the east parcel. Additionally, ice skating at this location will be extremely cold and windy in the winter with no protection along the riverfront. There should be a seasonal commercial skate rental shack located that could be used as a tourist kiosk or cafe during the summer and fall high season. Community space and bathroom buildings The buildings have a very odd relationship with the street and riverfront and don't utilize the river views. Most of the plaza area does not overlook the water and the pathway connection There should be a shaded picnic area with benches similar to the PMBC A canopy structure on the north facade of the community space is not ideal solar orientation. Shifting it to the south end of the Boathouse would make more sense. The community space building doesn't have a vestibule or pre-function space and bathrooms are in a separate building. Additionally there is no back of house space for MEP, Janitor closet or storage Bathrooms should include a family bathroom and changing room and each bathroom should have 3 stalls Bathrooms for the community space are in a separate building is not ideal   bathroom pavilion is far from the splash pad / seasonal skating area The boat storage should include SUP storage It is not clear how the storage facility actually functions when loading kayaks into the building There should be a commercial outfitter space for seasonal rentals so the village can offset some of the park costs. Why would there be office space and meeting rooms in the boathouse? This program doesn't make sense Why are there food truck electrical hookups at this location? Are trucks mounting the curb and parking in the plaza? Seems like an odd location if there will be food and beverage at the community space �It will be challenging for the separate buildings to share combined MEP systems since they are separate structures. There should be a water fountains, rinse showers and a hose bib located at this site Indoor/outdoor fireplace should be electric or add a wood burning Fireplace located is odd and would be better as a stand alone fire pit in the plaza area paved areas around bathroom pavilion and community building seems excessive and mostly without views towards the river Beach / water access The project should consider a water restoration project to increase the natural ecosystem at the river's edge this is a great example https://aqua.org/explore/exhibits/harbor-wetland The project should consider a river pool in the hudson. There is currently no swim access in sleepy hollow. This is a huge local issue and this would be the lowest cost project to build and maintain https://www.riverpool.org/ https://thecharles.org/uncategorized/9-cities-making-polluted-waterways-intoswimming-hotspots/ https://thecharles.org/swim-park-project/ Why is there no dock planned in this whole area? Is the river wall new or the existing condition? the concrete ramp at the beach significantly reduces what is already a small beach the new ramp should be flipped to be against the large concrete retaining wall at Kingsland Benjamin Sirota Beonjie@gmail.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Chairperson Krakauer read the agenda. Present: Lindsay Krakauer, Chairperson Benjamin Nielsen Chris Camia Jay Schulz Ken Anderson Richard Gross Also Present: James Natarelli, Village Engineer David Smith, Village Planner Sean E. McCarthy, Building Inspector Nathalie Burke- McCarthy Fingar LLP Absent: Joshua Subin, Village Attorney Pamela Kroll, Secretary to the Planning Board Agenda: 1) Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, Block M Proposed mixed-use building, Site Plan & Architectural Review ApprovalPreliminary Presentation 2) Francesco Alesci/FBS Contracting, 135 Beekman Avenue, Proposed six-unit apartment building, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Preliminary Presentation 1. Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, Block M, Proposed mixed-use building, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval Guy Mazzola is a managing member of Sun Homes representing Lighthouse Landing Communities LLC. Mr. Mazzola stated that he and associates from ODA Architecture will be presenting the preliminary designs for the Block M condominium building. Dongyoung Kim is an Operations Manager for ODA Architecture. Mr. Kim provided the history of the design firm and presented examples of the projects that they have completed. Razvan Voroneanu is a Project Director of ODA Architecture. Mr. Voroneanu stated that The Block M building is proposed as a six-story condominium building, approximately 250,000 square feet, with 88-96 residential units, amenities, retail, and parking. He presented preliminary plans and stated that the building would be terraced and include an entrance from Lighthouse Landing leading to the amenities, the center courtyard green space, and a proposed water feature 1 (11/13/25) �that would be visible from the public spaces and the park. The plan proposes 8-foot setbacks on three sides of the building and up to the property line along Westward Drive. Due to zoning constraints for setbacks, height limitations, and flood elevations, the proposed building would require a variance to be 68 feet high, where the maximum permitted height is 65 feet. Rooftop shade structures and outdoor seating, both covered and uncovered, are being considered. Mr. Mazzola described the proposed building height and elevations, based on the anticipated FEMA flood elevation requirements, which necessitate a height variance request. Mr. Mazzola stated that they are working on concepts for the façade design. There was a discussion regarding the terms of the Special Permit approval as they relate to the percentage of owner-occupied versus rental residential residences and commercial space. Mr. Mazzola stated that 5,000 to 5,800 square feet is proposed as restaurant and retail space. Chris Camia stated that the proposed 68-foot building height is a self-created zoning issue for 2 feet and that rooftop shade structures and mechanical equipment will add to the building's height appearance across six stories. Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant work to eliminate the increased height request and to submit plans that illustrate the proposed shade structures or pergolas and the programming of the retail spaces. Benjamin Nielsen stated that the setback and height restrictions from the Hudson River are important in maintaining the feel of public space. He suggested adding setbacks for the rooftop terraces. Mr. Nielsen asked Sean McCarthy if shade structures and mechanicals are included in the height constraints. Sean McCarthy stated that shade structures are not permitted to exceed the maximum building height. Stair and elevator towers, mechanicals and utilities are not considered as part of the building height and may not exceed 10% of the roof area below. Pergolas must be below the maximum building height. Mr. Mazzola acknowledged that the additional 2-foot building height and the height of any shade structures above 65 feet would require variance approval. They will look into stepping back the terraces. Jay Schulz stated that the building height and massing viewed from the street are a concern, especially when mechanical equipment, stair and elevator bulkheads add to the permitted height. Mr. Camia requested that the Lighthouse Landing street façade views be considered in the designs and that height creep be avoided. Mr. Voroneanu said they are working to reduce the elevator bulkheads and the placement of mechanical equipment. Mr. Nielsen asked how the private rooftop terraces would be accessed. 2 (11/13/25) �Mr. Voronieanu stated that separate elevators would be used to access the private terraces. The terraces would not be accessible from the individual units. Mr. Nielsen suggested creating private courtyard spaces instead of private terraces. Mr. Voroneanu stated that they plan for shared terrace space and smaller private terraces on the wings of the building. Mr. Schulz asked Mr. Voroniauni for the estimated square footage of the restaurant. Mr. Mazzola stated that they are still determining whether the 5,800 square feet will include both restaurant and retail space, based on the final residential unit count. Mr. Voroneanu estimated the restaurant to be 4,000 square feet, with outdoor seating. David Smith asked the applicant to describe the building's relationship to the waterfront park and whether there will be access to the restaurant from the park side or accommodations for food services. Chairperson Krakauer suggested that the outdoor seating area should incorporate shading options. Mr. Schulz asked where restaurant parking would be provided. Mr. Mazzola stated that the parking garage would be strictly for the condominium residents. There are 29 or 39 street parking spaces designated for commercial use. All assigned parking for the condos will be accommodated in the garage. Ken Anderson stated that he is more concerned about the elevations of the six-story building from the interior side of Lighthouse Landing versus the river. Mr. Nielsen suggested having the retail space on the corner of the building. James Natarelli stated that the Special Permit sanitary sewer approvals were based on specific bedroom counts and the square footage of retail spaces. Mr. Mazzola stated that the Special Permit approved 96 homes and 6,700 or 7,600 square feet of retail space. The proposed plan will be under the approved calculations for the sanitary sewer. Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant consider designs that reduce the building height and reposition roof structures. 3 (11/13/25) �2. Francesco Alesci, FBS Contracting, Proposed six-unit apartment building, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Preliminary Presentation Luigi Landi stated that he is the Project Designer representing the applicant. Mr. Landi stated that the original approval included the construction of a 14-unit apartment building. The new plan proposes preserving the existing two-and-a-half-story, 4-unit building and constructing a three-story building with 6 apartments at the rear of the property, while keeping the same curb cut and entrance. The plan includes the creation of a 19-space parking lot between the two buildings. Salvator Alesci requested the Board's feedback. Chairperson Krakauer stated that, since most of the Board is new, they are treating the plan as a new application. She asked Mr. Landi to describe the proposed changes to impervious surface. Mr. Landi stated that there would be a slight increase in impervious surface for the parking area. The stormwater mitigation design would manage the impervious surfaces. Chairperson Krakauer asked how many parking spots are currently available or being used by neighboring property owners. Mr. Alesci stated that the current tenants have 2 parking spots per apartment and use 8 in total, while 12 or 13 spots are available. He proposes removing the two empty garages because one is in poor condition and the other is used for storage. Benjamin Nielsen asked whether the applicant considered constructing two buildings similar in size to the existing building. Mr. Alesci stated that the construction costs for three buildings would be much higher, and it would be more difficult to meet the setback requirements. Mr. Alesci stated that he would prefer to keep the proposed size and floor area. The property is four feet lower in elevation than Kendall Avenue, and the condominiums on Andrews Lane are the same height as those they are proposing. He would consider scaling the roof line down and open to comments on how the building should look. Mr. Landi stated that having a parking area in the middle of the lot would be concealed from street view and would provide easily accessible parking spaces. The Board discussed aerial views of the existing homes along Beekman Avenue, Kendall Avenue, and Andrews Lane in relation to the proposed building massing. Mr. Alesci stated that massing has significantly reduced since the original design approval. David Smith stated that the plan proposes to preserve the visual street frontage on Beekman Avenue by keeping the existing house and constructing a building that would be less intrusive in the back of the property. The property is unusual because it is zoned in the C-2 district but abuts the residential zone. 4 (11/13/25) �Chairperson Krakauer suggested finding a way to make the building better fit the site and the neighboring residential properties. Ken Anderson requested that the applicant provide satellite views that include the new condominiums, so that they can review the proposed building in a better context and perceive how it would look. Mr. Nielsen suggested that they evaluate whether paving and drive aisles are required and whether more green space could be added. There was a discussion between the Board and the applicant about how to incorporate more green space without reducing the number of parking spaces. Mr. Alesci asked if the Board agrees to moving forward with the design for one building. He will determine the available options to scale down the roof lines, reduce the massing, and add more screen space. Chairperson Krakauer asked if underground parking was considered. Mr. Alesci stated that the costs for underground parking are too expensive for the size of the building. Richard Gross stated that he is in favor of keeping the outdoor parking area and agrees with the proposed building's design at the back of the lot. James Natarelli stated that the previously approved stormwater design worked with the site. He will wait for the site to be more established before submitting comments on the new design. Chairperson Krakauer asked whether there were any pending variance requests. Mr. Landi stated that the current proposal complies with the zoning requirements. Sean McCarthy stated that the positioning of the building, parking spaces, coverage and setbacks would determine if variances are required. Since there would be two principal buildings on one parcel, the Board could provide a positive referral for variances that would allow for a better site plan design. Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant review the plan to determine whether they can reduce the amount of impervious surface and the building massing while maintaining the proposed unit count. Mr. Anderson requested better rendering and elevation views and asked whether the parking area could incorporate more interest and green space. Mr. Anderson stated that he approves moving forward with the one building. 5 (11/13/25) �Chris Camia stated that he approves the applicant moving forward with the one building with improvements to the massing without creating the need for variances. Benjamin Nielsen stated that he is open to the approval for the one building with massing improvements. Mr. Alesci stated that he will look into changes to the building massing that would allow for more green space without sacrificing on-site parking. Chairperson Krakauer adjourned the work session at 8:30 PM.

Mr. Mazzola stated that he has reviewed the draft resolution. Chairman Camia asked Mr. Mazzola to provide a brief overview of the project and proposed changes. Mr. Mazzola stated that they addressed the Board's concerns regarding architectural features, loft unit setbacks on Hollows Pass, and gas meter issues for the interior units of Building H, located at 212-216 Palisades Boulevard, and Building I, located at 315-319 Hollows Pass. A highvisibility end unit was added at 301 Hollows Pass. A full loft area with a 3-foot setback is proposed for the 201 Hollows Pass unit and is to be carried through all the E-unit type lofts. The proposed increase to the fourth-floor loft areas is to achieve 60% coverage over the floor below. A five-foot front-yard setback is requested for Building E, located at 200-210 Palisades Boulevard, and Building F, located at 201-209 Hollows Pass, to accommodate the bay bump outs. Interior alleyways were added between Buildings E & F and include light bollards and improvements to gas meter groupings. Improvements to the crosswalk from Tappan Zee Park to Building H include an added landing area, benches, and concrete walkways on either side. Architectural features were added to Building H at 212-216 Palisades Boulevard. A black steeland-aluminum enclosure with gates was added to screen and protect the gas meters for Buildings H and I. A third mailbox location was added to the signage plan. Chairman Camia stated he is in favor of the improvements made to the architecture, pedestrian safety, way-finding, and site lighting. The Board members agreed to proceed with voting on the resolutions. Chairman Camia asked Sean McCarthy to read the draft resolutions. 2 (10/16/25) �Sean McCarthy stated that the seven resolutions have similar conditions.

The Board members discussed how the proposed bump-out features affect the usable square footage to create the impression of setbacks and prompted the requests for the reduced front yard setback for Building E at 200-210 Palisades Boulevard and Building F at 201-209 Hollows Pass, and increased the coverage on the fourth floor loft areas for some of the end units. The Board asked the Applicant to confirm the proposed setback for the loft areas and the design for the screening and safety bollard at the gas meters. Guy Mazzola is a managing member of Sun Homes, representing One Kingsland Owner, LLC, as the applicant. Mr. Mazzola stated that the resubmission includes a three-foot setback for the units, thereby increasing loft coverage.

Upon receipt of a submission, he will review and consider the proposed option. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Mr. Shirriah prepare a response for Mr. Natarelli’s review memo and submit it for the next meeting. Chris Camia asked what would happen if the Applicant chooses not to maintain the cartridge system. Mr. Shirriah stated that a maintenance agreement could be added to the stormwater management plan. It is the property owner's responsibility to maintain the stormwater system. David Smith asked if the Applicant had initiated conversations with Con Edison about the relocation of the utility pole. Mr. Shirriah stated that he would follow up with the Applicant. Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the public. There were no public comments. Richard Gross moved to continue the public hearing to the October 16, 2025 meeting. Moved: Gross Seconded: Camia Vote 5-0 2 (9/18/25) �2. Cortlandt Development LLC, 377 North Broadway, Proposed deli/market, Amended Site Plan & Architectural Review- Draft resolution Jonathan Merheb is an engineer from JMER Engineering, P.C., presenting on behalf of Cortlandt Development. Mr. Merheb stated that he revised the plans to show an open grate on the infiltrator and include a note that they will tie into the roof leaders if the grade allows. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Merheb to confirm whether he intends to have an outdoor eating and sitting area and if any changes were made to the garbage enclosure materials. Mr. Merheb stated that the applicant proposed two tables on the concrete walk area. The owner has agreed to use composite material for the garbage enclosure. Benjamin Nielsen asked Mr. Merheb if a bicycle rack would be added, if the number of bollards would be reduced, and to confirm the window materials proposed for the existing window on the south elevation. Mr. Merheb stated that there is no practical location for a bike rack on the property. One bollard will be removed on the north and south sides with increased spacing. CMU block and brick will be used to infill the window and be painted to match the existing brick. The note on the drawing is incorrect. The Board requested that the resolution conditions be amended to reflect the reduction in the number of bollards and the garbage enclosure material. Chris Camia moved to approve the resolution as amended. Moved: Camia Seconded: Nielsen Lindsay Krakauer, Chairperson - yes Richard Gross- yes Chris Camia- yes Benjamin Nielsen- yes Jay Schulz- yes Vote 5-0 3.

The Board requested that the applicant add lighting above the entrance signage, remove the existing streetlight, and ensure that the proposed signage complies with Village requirements. Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the Board and the consultants. James Natarelli asked Mr. Andrews to confirm that the café will not include a kitchen for food preparation. Mr. Andrews stated that food preparation is not proposed in the café. Benjamin Nielsen asked Mr. Andrews to confirm that there will be refrigeration units in the café. Mr. Andrews stated that refrigerated units would be available in the café. Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the public. There were no public comments. Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant submit revised documents as needed to complete the application. Richard Gross moved to continue the public hearing to the October 16, 2025 meeting. Moved: Gross Seconded: Nielsen Vote 5-0 Chairperson Krakauer directed David Smith to draft a resolution. 4. 72 Beekman Avenue Enterprises, LLC, 72 Beekman Avenue, Proposed mixed-use building, Amended Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval - Discussion Benjamin Nielsen moved to open the public hearing. Moved: Nielsen Seconded: Gross Vote 5-0 Mark Blanchard stated that he is the project attorney for the applicant. Mr. Blanchard stated that the applicant agrees with some of the issues raised by the owner of 74 Beekman Avenue. Mr. Blanchard stated that the applicant proposes to demolish and reconstruct the retaining wall that encroaches on 74 Beekman Avenue. The applicant agrees to perform testing to address stormwater and grading-related matters, as required by the Building Department and the Village Engineer. The updated survey indicates that the rear corner of the 72 Beekman Building does not encroach on the 74 Beekman Avenue property. Although the second and third floor window wells differ from the approved site plan, the current building construction allows for more light and air to reach 74 Beekman Avenue. Mr. Blanchard requested amended approval and support for lifting the Stop Work Order, allowing the applicant to continue the interior construction of the building. 4 (9/18/25) �James Natarelli stated that topography information is required to demonstrate that the existing drainage patterns between the properties would be maintained for the proposed construction and fill brought into the backyard. Mr. Blanchard requested that the stormwater-related items be a condition of the approval. Gabrielle Salman is the project architect representing the applicant. She presented the second and third floor plans and described how water collects and drains to an existing drywell. The 74 Beekman Avenue windows face that area for light and ventilation. Chairperson Krakauer asked if this was an improvement over the existing condition. Mr. Blanchard stated that there is now a larger gap between the 72 Beekman and 74 Beekman Avenue buildings, which resulted in a positive change. Richard Gross asked Mr. McCarthy if the property survey was correct. Sean McCarthy stated that the Building Department received an updated as-built survey this afternoon, which indicates that the building foundation is on the property line, but includes trim that encroaches an inch and a quarter onto 74 Beekman Avenue. Ms. Salman said that the trim piece can be removed and properly flashed. Benjamin Nielsen requested that Ms. Salman show comparisons of the original and requested elevations. Mr. Salman presented elevation drawings of the original building, what was approved, and what construction requires approval. Chris Camia suggested removing the awning and installing wood composite signage and lights. The topography and stormwater items should be resolved as part of approval. Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the public. Ana Rakipi stated that she is the owner of 74 Beekman Avenue. Ms. Rakipi detailed her concerns about potential stormwater issues damaging the foundation of her building, which she attributed to the demolition and construction of the 72 Beekman Avenue building, specifically relating to improper roof flashing, window wells, and the work completed to raise the rear yard. Ms. Rakipi stated that she is waiting for a detailed property survey of her property to be completed and requested that the Planning Board reconsider granting the application until she can make sure that her building is protected. Ms. Rakipi stated that Mr. Carrion has been unwilling to fix the damage to her building. Joshua Subin stated that the disputes between the property owners are civil matters and suggested that they work together to agree on temporary compliance issues. 5 (9/18/25) �Bond Davis is the engineer from Grigg & Davis Engineers, P.C.. He requested that the gaps between the buildings be repaired, roof flashing be added, and light wells be repaired. The back portion of the 72 Beekman Avenue building should be properly finished. Construction debris should be removed from the gaps between the buildings. Mr. Blanchard stated that Mr. Carrion has not been able to reach a solution with Ms. Rakipi. He objected to accusations made about his client and stated that the property owner contacted Mr. Carrion without her attorney and suggested that $75,000 could resolve the issues. They are here to reach solutions and to move the project forward. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. McCarthy if there were interim measures that could be taken. Mr. McCarthy stated that both property owners must agree to the plans for flashing between the buildings before the work can proceed. Mr. Blanchard asked the Board if they would object to Mr. Carrion resuming the interior construction work if the property survey issues are cleared up. Chairperson Krakauer stated that it is not in the Board’s purview to lift a Stop Work Order issued by the Building Department. She requested that the applicant work with the Village Engineer to resolve the outstanding stormwater-related concerns. Ms. Rakipi stated that she has pictures and videos of the applicant cutting the foundation of her building. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Ms. Rakipi submit the documents to the Building Department. Richard Gross moved to continue the public hearing to the October 16, 2025 meeting. Moved: Gross Seconded: Camia Vote 5-0 5. One Kingsland Owner, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, Amended Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Public hearing 200-210 Palisades Blvd. - Proposed (6) Unit Townhome Building 212-216 Palisades Blvd. - Proposed (3) Unit Townhome Building 322-328 Palisades Blvd. - Proposed (4) Unit Townhome Building 201-209 Hollows Pass - Proposed (5) Unit Townhome Building 301-313 Hollows Pass- Proposed (7) Unit Townhome Building 315-319 Hollows Pass- Proposed (3) Unit Townhome Building 321-327 Hollows Pass- Proposed (4) Unit Townhome Building Benjamin Nielsen moved to open the public hearing. Moved: Nielsen Seconded: Camia Vote 5-0 Guy Mazzola is a Managing Member of Sun Homes representing One Kingsland Owner, LLC as the applicant. Mr. Mazzola stated that a slide show has been prepared to address the comments 6 (9/18/25) �from the Planning Board Work Session. He distributed copies of the presentation documents to the Planning Board and stated that each slide represents something that was changed. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Mazzola to summarize the changes that he plans to present. Mr. Mazzola stated that the presentation will address the loft size options for Unit 201 of Building F on Hollows Pass, gas meter and bollard design schemes for Building H at 212-216 Palisades Boulevard and Building I, located at 315-319 Hollows Pass, side façade and architectural features of Building H, and renderings to clarify the requested 5 to 7 foot shift in the front yard setback along Building E and Building F along Tappan Zee Park. Mr. Mazzola presented a revised rendering of the 301-313 Hollows Pass building. Mr. Mazzola stated that the changes confirm the proposal of three entrance steps for each of the seven townhome units. Four of the gas meters are proposed on the east elevation of Unit 313. They propose eliminating the garage windows in Unit 301 to add a bay feature on the first floor, create a small outdoor space off the dining room, and increase the size of the first-floor windows. The other three gas meters are proposed on the side with bollards at the Hollows Pass entrance to improve the architectural aesthetics of the building façade. Chairperson Krakauer asked if the shrubbery could be planted in front of the gas meters. Mr. Mazzola stated that an additional small tree could be added to screen the gas meters. Mr. Mazzola presented a revised rendering of Unit 201 at Hollows Pass, which proposed a onefoot loft setback from the third floor. Per the Board's request, a wall was added to separate the bedroom from the rest of the loft, allowing for the addition of more windows. The design of the high-visibility E unit includes a five-foot step-back architectural bay feature, a five-foot-deep walkout terrace on the first floor, and a small dining room walkout. The loss of five feet to create the additional bay feature and outdoor space does not allow for enough usable loft space if they are required to keep the coverage under 50% over the third floor. He proposed that the Board approve the one-foot setback at a loft coverage of 68%. Mr. Mazzola stated that the loft setback at 3 feet would result in a 58% percent coverage over the third floor. Chairperson Krakauer asked if there would be additional walkout space along the loft windows. Mr. Mazzola stated that they could look into providing a NanaWall feature where the larger loft windows are proposed. The Board discussed the loft coverage percentage options. Mr. Mazzola presented renderings of 201-209 Hollows Pass and 200-210 Palisades Blvd, including the 201 Hollows Pass unit loft, which features a three-foot loft coverage setback over the third floor. He said that the loft space would be useless if they were to use the three-foot setback and keep it under 50% coverage. The only solution would be to construct a different unit type and not include the architectural bay feature. 7 (9/18/25) �Mr. Mazzola presented a rendered view looking down the walkway from the buildings at 201209 Hollows Pass and 200-210 Palisades Boulevard, stating that the request for a 5- to 7-foot front yard setback is needed for the jogging of the different bay elements and front entry architectural features. Mr. Mazzola presented a night time rendering view of the proposed pathway light bollards between Buildings E and F, stating that the gas meters are proposed to be located on the walkway side, with 5 and 6 meters on each side. The Board suggested jogging the gas meters between the sides of the buildings and not having pathway lights on the gas meters. Mr. Mazzola stated that he would lay out the lighting and gas meters based on the minimum setback of the windows. Mr. Mazzola presented a rendering of Building V, located at 321-327 Hollows Pass, and Building W, located at 322-328 Palisades Boulevard. The proposed changes include the enlarged windows on the loft level E unit type. The loft setback and coverage would match what the Board approves for the other E units. Mr. Mazzola presented a rendering for the interior units of Building H, located at 212-216 Palisades Boulevard, and proposed the same changes to the building façade as 301 Hollows Pass. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Mazzola to describe the proposed gas meter screening and safety bollards. Mr. Mazzola presented sketches for gas meter and bollard options that would provide safety, but do not necessarily fix the aesthetics. The Board discussed bollard design options for Building H & Building I. Mr. Mazzola presented a summary of gas meter locations. Mr. Mazzola presented a private site signage plan and suggested focusing on a sign at each entrance road. He requested that the Board approve the signage plan and stated that he would be open to adding more if needed after installation. Chris Camia recommended separating the mailboxes into sections. The Board discussed the signage related to the interior buildings. Chairperson Krakauer asked if the Fire Department had reviewed the emergency vehicle circulation and proposed signage plan. Sean McCarthy stated that he has not received a response from the Fire Department. 8 (9/18/25) �The Planning Board discussed the brick walkway added between Building E & Building F to provide pedestrian access to Building H. The Board requested that the applicant add a pathway to connect the new walkway to the sidewalk along Building H. Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the public. There were no public comments. Mr. Mazzola asked if the Planning Board would consider approving the application with conditions. David Smith stated that the draft resolutions could be ready for the next meeting. Joshua Subin suggested that the Board could close the public hearing. Chris Camia moved to close the public hearing. Moved: Camia Seconded: Nielsen Vote 5-0 Chairperson Krakauer stated that draft resolutions would be prepared for the October 16, 2025 meeting. 6. Joseph & Devin Bandelli, 274 Kelbourne Avenue, Proposed pool, Site Plan & Approval- Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that the application received approved from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Ostap Vidov is the contractor representing the applicant. Mr. Vidov stated that the Board requested better views of the current site conditions and the existing trees. Mr. Vidov stated that the pool equipment would be located in the basement mechanical room. Changes were made to the pool design to include a fountain feature and winged steps. Chairperson Krakauer asked if the wings are necessary to install the fountain feature and if they would affect the original intent of the pool. Devin Bandelli stated that the pool would be used as a lap pool. The wings provide a safer way to access the pool. Chairperson Krakauer stated the Board would have the Village Arborist evaluate the Linden tree to see if he has any recommendations to preserve its health. She asked the property owner if they considered relocating the pool further away from the tree. Devin Bandelli stated that the proposed pool lines up with the existing house facade and the patio. Jay Schulz asked for the distance from the wall foundation to the Linden tree. 9 (9/18/25) �Mr. Vidov stated that there is approximately 15 feet from the Linden tree to the foundation wall. Reconstruction of the stonewall will allow for better access during pool construction and prevent disturbance to the tree. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Vidov if the wall materials would be repurposed to match the wall along the street. Ms. Bandelli stated that the driveway wall was constructed to match the wall on the street and be in keeping with the neighborhood's character. Mr. Vidov stated that they would remove and repurpose 15 to 20 percent of the original stone and introduce new stone that will match as closely as possible. Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant plant the proposed shrubbery on the outside of the pool screening fencing. Benjamin Nielsen asked if the pool walls are higher than the pool coping and if they would rely on the hedge material for screening. Ms. Bandelli stated that the pool would not be visible beyond the brick wall, and the proposed trees will provide privacy. Mr. Vidov stated that the proposed hedge is higher than the pool surround wall. The wall is not visible from the street. He presented the landscape plan from the front walkway. Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the consultants. James Natarelli requested that the applicant respond to his review memo addressing the stormwater and wall evaluations. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board is comfortable scheduling the public hearing. Jay Schulz moved to schedule the public hearing for the October 16, 2025 meeting. Moved: Schulz Seconded: Camia Vote 5-0 Chairperson Krakauer directed David Smith to prepare a draft resolution. 7. Sleepy Hollow Holdings, LLC, 144 Cortlandt Street, Proposed change of use, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval - Discussion Chairperson Krakauer asked if the property owner has made any connections with potential commercial tenants since the last meeting. Gabrielle Salman is the architect representing the applicant. She stated that they have not received commercial tenant interest for the space. 10 (9/18/25) �Zui Horowitz is the property owner. Mr. Horowitz stated that he has reached out to those who may be interested in a commercial space. The property has been listed on the MLS for five years, during which time it has only received three interested parties who did not take action after seeing the neighboring buildings. He suggested demolishing the existing garage and standalone storage space in the rear of the property to obtain the requested approval to convert the first-floor storefront and part of the basement level into residential use. Removal of the garage and storage structure would allow him to create approximately four parking spaces in the rear of the building for tenant use. Chairperson Krakauer asked if grants were offered to help renovate the building façade, would he be able to make the space more marketable for commercial tenants. Mr. Horowitz stated that renovating the façade would make the building more marketable for residential use. There has been no interest in a commercial space. The Board discussed the existing conditions and parking requirements. Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant submit a revised application. 8. John Mancebo, 278 Harwood Avenue, Proposed additions and alterations, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Preliminary Presentation John Mancebo stated that the existing 1,088-square-foot house has a slab-on-grade foundation, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and an attached non-compliant one-car garage. The application proposes to remove the existing garage, construct a detached two-car garage with a second-floor home office and guest room, and construct second-floor and attic additions on the existing footprint that are compliant with the Zoning Code. Mr. Mancebo stated that the revised submission addresses the items discussed at the Planning Board’s work session regarding tree removals, engineering, architectural plan corrections, and neighborhood photographs. Nick Shirriah is an engineer from Hudson Engineering & Consulting, P.C., representing the applicant. He stated that the deep hole and percolation tests were completed. The proposed infiltration system is sized to improve runoff for the house, garage, patio and driveway. Since the driveway is on a steep slope, it will not be easy to collect 100 percent of the runoff on site. The plan details the five trees that need to be removed for the stormwater system. The Board discussed the proposed locations and requirements for obtaining a Tree Removal Permit. The Board discussed the architectural details of the entrance doors, garage windows, and the river views. The Board requested that the applicant provide a landscape plan that includes native plantings and considers the addition of canopy trees in the front yard. 11 (9/18/25) �James Natarelli stated that he witnessed the percolation tests, which show that the proposed infiltration is feasible on-site. There was a discussion between Mr. Mancebo, Mr. Shirriah, and James Natarelli regarding the driveway extension and the walkway to the front door. Chairperson Krakauer scheduled the public hearing for the October 16, 2025 meeting. 10.

She solicited comments from the Board and consultants on outstanding issues. James Natarelli stated that the proposed infiltration system for the expanded parking area is considered a hot spot by the Department of Environmental Conservation’s stormwater manual due to the maintenance and storage of vehicles. He has requested that the applicants’ engineer design a pre-treatment plan to mitigate runoff to the infiltration system. 2. John Mancebo, 278 Harwood Avenue, Proposed additions and alterations, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval – Discussion Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the Board and permitted the property owner and the project architect to join the discussion. Benjamin Nielsen stated that the property includes an existing non-conforming garage. Sean McCarthy stated that the applicant proposes to remove the existing garage. The proposed application complies with the Zoning Code setback requirements. Mr. Nielsen asked if the tree in the backyard would need to be removed to construct the garage. 2 (9/11/25) �John Mancebo stated that they may have to remove the tree for construction purposes. Dipti Shah, the project architect, stated that she will have an arborist evaluate the tree. Mr. Nielsen stated that asked questions related to the proposed architectural design drawings, including elevations, window locations, door placements, and floor plans. He requested that the applicant provide a photograph study that compares the architectural styles and dimensions of the neighboring houses. Ms. Shah stated that the house is not visible from the street. The proposed additions are below the maximum permitted height. Chris Camia asked Mr. Mancebo to confirm that he does not intend to rent the garage space. Mr. Mancebo stated that he would not rent the garage space. Ken Anderson asked Ms. Shah if a third floor is proposed and stated that a fire suppression system is required. Ms. Shah stated that the third floor is proposed as finished attic space because the house does not have a basement for storage. There was a discussion on the number of windows and reasons for omitting them from certain locations. Ms. Shah stated that the French doors are missing from the front elevation drawings, and the fireplace is not shown on the plans. James Natarelli questioned the status of the civil engineering drawings. Ms. Shah stated that Hudson Engineering is scheduled to perform the deep hole testing and that Nick Shirriah will attend the Planning Board meeting with the property owner since she is unavailable. Ms. Shah stated that removing the tree would allow them to install a rooftop solar system. Joshua Subin suggested that the applicant review the Village Code, Chapter 385. Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant resubmit updates for the meeting. 3. Cortlandt Development, LLC, 377 North Broadway, Proposed deli/market, Amended Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Draft resolution The Board discussed the outstanding items and the conditions on the draft resolution. 3 (9/11/25) �4. Origins Collective, LLC, 178 Beekman Avenue, Proposed Change of Use Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board received a submission from the applicant. Sean McCarthy stated that the applicant was asked to remove the streetlight mounted at the first floor level at the sidewalk. Chris Camia asked Mr. McCarthy to confirm what the Planning Board is reviewing. Mr. McCarthy stated that the Planning Board is reviewing the proposed change of use and signage. Although the property owner was issued a Building Permit to replace the windows, the applicant is requesting to change the front windows and the entrance doors. The Board discussed the proposed signage design. Chris Camia suggested that the Board discourage the use of awnings with signage to avoid maintenance issues. The Board discussed the use of awnings versus mounted signage. The Board discussed their concerns and suggestions for the interior layout of the salon and café. The Board discussed the proposed changes to the front windows. 5. 72 Beekman Avenue Enterprises, LLC, 72 Beekman Avenue, Proposed mixed-use Building, Amended Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval - Discussion Chris Camia requested that the Board pause the Work Session for advice of counsel at 6:55 PM.

One Kingsland Owner, LLC, 322-328 Palisades Blvd, Proposed (4) Unit Townhome Building, Amended Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board received revised submissions and solicited comments from the Board. She asked Sean McCarthy if further information on the directional signage had been submitted. Sean McCarthy stated that no additional details were submitted for directional signage. The Board discussed the reasons for similar street number addresses within the Edge-on-Hudson development. Benjamin Nielsen stated that he is not opposed to granting the reduced front yard setback for the two buildings along Tappan Zee Park. Benjamin Nielsen stated that the restrictions for the fourth-floor loft coverage on high-visibility end units were negotiated as part of the Special Permit to reduce impacts on public views. He objects to the request for a 72% coverage. The Board discussed the intent behind stepping back the fourth-floor loft space and why a 50% coverage limitation was adopted for high-visibility end units. Joshua Subin stated that the applicant had a specific reason for the request and suggested that the Board ask the applicant to explain further. The Board discussed changes made to the end unit side elevations for Building H at 212-216 Palisades Boulevard and Building G at 301-313 Hollows Pass. The Board discussed the additional door locations shown on the plans for Building E, located at 200-210 Palisades Boulevard, and Building F, located at 201-209 Hollows Pass. The Board discussed alternative options for the bollards located in front of the gas meters for Building H at 212-216 Palisades Boulevard and Building I at 315-319 Hollows Pass. Benjamin Nielsen asked if the applicant had made improvements to the pedestrian flow between the interior buildings H and I. Ken Anderson stated that a crosswalk was added between Buildings E & F and Building H. 5 (9/11/25) �Chairperson Krakauer stated that the applicant should summarize the changes at the public hearing and address concerns related to the fourth-floor coverage, bollards, and proposed setbacks. 13. 188 Wyatt, LLC, 188 Cortlandt Street, Amended Site Plan Approval - Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that the applicant has not submitted updated information. 14. KWD Realty LLC, 309-315 North Broadway, Proposed 4-story self-storage facility, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Discussion Chairperson Krakauer asked Sean McCarthy if the applicant had provided the information that the Zoning Board had requested. Mr. McCarthy stated that the applicant submitted additional documents, which were forwarded to the Zoning Board. Jay Schulz stated that the applicant told the Zoning Board of Appeals that the application requires variances due to requests from the Planning Board. Mr. Schulz stated that the Planning Board requested to see a conforming building. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Planning Board had called out the meeting minutes, which stated that the Board had requested a compliant building. Sean McCarthy stated that during the discussion of the building's placement and massing, the Planning Board’s priority was for the applicant to maintain the street setback, even though it would create the need for a variance. The Board discussed what is within their purview to decide on the design and massing of the proposed building, as well as their objections to the site plan. Joshua Subin stated that the way the Zoning Board of Appeals writes its opinion could undermine some of those things. There was a discussion regarding the proposed retaining wall along the property line. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board would proceed based on the decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals. 15. Joseph and Devin Bandelli, 274 Kelbourne Avenue, Proposed pool, Site Plan Approval-Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board received a tree report from the landscape architect. 6 (9/11/25) �Benjamin Nielsen stated that he is not convinced that the proposed pool and expanded patio will not affect the health of the trees due to the distance of the pool from the sidewalk and the terrace from the property line. Chairperson Krakauer polled the Board members for outstanding concerns and how to proceed if the Zoning Board of Appeals approves the application. Mr. Nielsen requested that the arborist evaluate the areas in the backyard and the effects the proposed construction would have on the existing trees. He suggested that the applicant provide more than landscaping to screen the pool from visibility and noise. Chris Camia stated that the Zoning Board of Appeals would decide on the location of the pool. The applicant has done everything possible to mitigate the aesthetics. Jay Schulz stated that this application is unique in that the pool will not be visible to the public. He understands that putting the pool in the rear yard would be viewed by the neighboring property owners. Ken Anderson stated that the applicant agreed to add shrubbery on top of the walls and install fencing behind the wall in the front yard, but this is not represented on the plan. Mr. Anderson stated that he is okay with the pool location if other items are addressed. The Board discussed the condition of the stonewall and what is required for engineering review if the ZBA approves the application. 16. Sleepy Hollow Holdings, LLC, 196 Cortlandt Street, Proposed change of use Site Plan and Architectural Review Approval-Discussion Chairperson Krakauer asked Sean McCarthy if there had been developments with the property owner. Sean McCarthy stated that he expects to receive a request to withdraw the application. He is not aware of a formal tenancy agreement, but they are pushing to keep it as a commercial use. 17. Sleepy Hollow Holdings, LLC, 144 Cortlandt Street, Proposed change of use Site Plan and Architectural Review Approval-Discussion Chairperson Krakauer asked Sean McCarthy if there had been developments with the property owner. Sean McCarthy stated that the application would remain on the agenda for September 18, 2025. Ken Anderson stated that 144 Cortlandt Street is closer to other buildings with first-floor residential uses. Chris Camia asked if the Board could request a reconfiguration of the façade if they were to approve the residential use. 7 (9/11/25) �Mr. McCarthy stated that the owner is proposing to reconfigure the building's storefront façade as part of the architectural review approval. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. McCarthy what is required for building façade changes. Mr. McCarthy stated that significant changes are required to convert the storefront to residential space, including the reconfiguration of doors and windows. The Board discussed the variety of uses of the neighboring properties. Chairperson Krakauer polled the Board members for their thoughts on approving the change of use. Chris Camia stated that he is not in favor of the proposed change of use. Mr. Anderson stated that he would prefer to keep the retail use. Approving the change of use would create a parking issue. Jay Schulz stated that the space would be better for commercial use. Providing more walkable commercial options would eliminate the need for more parking spaces. Mr. Camia stated that issues with finding a commercial tenant are not a valid reason for approving the change of use. The owner can make investments to make the property marketable for commercial uses, just as they would be required to attract residential tenants. Joshua Subin asked if the residential occupancy is a permitted use in this location. Mr. McCarthy stated that residential is a permitted use in the C-2 Zoning district. Mr. Anderson stated that the Comprehensive Plan calls out for commercial uses in the C-2 zoning district. Mr. McCarthy stated that a residential use is not prohibited. Joshua Subin offered advice of counsel. Chairperson Krakauer requested that the Board pause the Work Session for advice of counsel at 9:00 PM. The Board resumed the Work Session at 9:05 PM. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board will discuss the application at its meeting on September 18, 2025. 18. Francesco Alesci, FBS Contraction, 135 Beekman Avenue, Proposed (6) unit apartment building, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Discussion 8 (9/11/25) �Chairperson Krakauer stated that the application proposes a different project from the one that was approved. The applicant now proposes to retain the existing structure at the front of the property and build a second structure at the rear of the property. Jay Schulz asked for the difference in proposed units from the previous site plan approval. Benjamin Nielsen stated that there are four units in the existing building, and the applicant proposes six units in the new building. Sean McCarthy stated that the original application was approved to construct one new building with 14 apartments. The Board discussed the proposed application and their suggestions for opportunities to increase the use of the property lot and provide more green space. Chairperson Krakauer stated that they should let the applicant present their application at the meeting before making their recommendations. Board Discussions Staff Reviews Benjamin Nielsen stated that the Board is not leveraging input from the staff and consultants. The Board often rushes to comment on minor details that can be resolved later in the review process. He requested that Sean McCarthy, David Smith, and James Natarelli provide initial reviews of the applications, pointing out potential problems, detailing their compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan, and any code-related issues that the Board should consider. September 18, 2025 Agenda The Board discussed how to handle the public hearings for the One Kingsland Owner LLC. Chairperson Krakauer asked if the Board should cut items from the draft agenda. Sean McCarthy reviewed the draft agenda and stated that new applications should remain on for preliminary presentations. Chairperson Krakauer asked the Board to review the draft minutes from the July meetings. Chairperson Krakauer stated that she and Benjamin Nielsen are not available to attend the October meeting. The Board nominated Chris Camia to serve as Acting Chair for the October 16, 2025, Planning Board meeting. Chris Camia agreed to chair the October meeting. Chairperson Krakauer adjourned the work session at 9:30 PM.

James Natarelli stated that the letter indicates that Hudson Engineering & Consulting P.C. will revise the plans for a future submission. Chris Camia stated that he is comfortable approving the application, subject to engineering. Chairperson Krakauer polled the Board members. Benjamin Nielsen, Jay Schulz, and Richard Gross agreed to approve the application, subject to James Natarelli's approval of the final engineering plans. 2 (7/17/25) �Chairperson Krakauer asked the consultants if they had objections to drafting a resolution. David Smith stated he would update the draft resolution for the next meeting. This will provide time for Mr. Natarelli to review and finalize the engineering details. Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the public. There were no public comments. Richard Gross moved to adjourn the public hearing to the September 18, 2025 Planning Board meeting. Moved: Gross Seconded: Nielsen Vote 6-0 2. 50 on Hudson Street LLC, 50 Hudson Street, Proposed three-family residence, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval - Continued Public hearing Richard Gross moved to open the public hearing. Moved: Gross Seconded: Camia Vote 6-0 Brian Hopkins stated that he is the property owner and the architect. He reviewed the changes made to the engineering drawings related to drainage, rear guardrail, and the driveway slope. Chairperson Krakauer requested that the proposed easements include the setback and grading details. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Hopkins if the guardrail along the rear property line needs to cross the landscaped area. Mr. Hopkins stated that the guardrail would run along the rear property line and include the parking space area at 48 Hudson Street. Mr. Natarelli and Mr. Hopkins discussed the details of the infiltration system trench. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Hopkins to describe the landscape plan and to present the neighborhood elevation drawings. Mr. Hopkins described the proposed planting species and locations. He presented the neighborhood elevation drawings and described what the dashed lines represent. Mr. Nielsen asked Mr. McCarthy to explain how roof heights are calculated. Mr. McCarthy stated that the maximum permitted roof height for a gable-style roof is calculated from the midpoint of the gable. Flat roofs are calculated from the top of the roof deck and do not include the parapet. This area of the street was rezoned from district R-4A to R-5, which increased the permitted building height. 3 (7/17/25) �Mr. Hopkins presented the Design Progression illustration detailing Version 1 through V6 of the project. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Planning Board worked with the applicant on several iterations to bring the proposed building in line with architectural features and the feeling of the neighborhood.

Chairperson Krakauer- Yes Ken Anderson - Yes 4 (7/17/25) �Chris Camia - Yes Benjamin Nielsen - Yes Jay Schulz - Yes Richard Gross - No Vote 5-1-0 3. KWD Realty LLC, 309-315 North Broadway, Proposed 4-story self-storage facility, Site Plan and Architectural Review approval – Discussion, Pending ZBA approval Chairperson Krakauer stated that the application is pending approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals at the September 17, 2025, meeting. The applicant is not present for a discussion. No action was taken. 4. 188 Wyatt, LLC, 188 Cortlandt Street, Amended Site Plan Approval- Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that the applicant is not present. The Board adjourned the discussion to the September 18, 2025, meeting. No action was taken. 5. Joseph and Devin Bandelli, 274 Kelbourne Avenue, Proposed pool, Site Plan Approval, Presentation Dan Sherman stated he is representing the applicants. Mr. Sherman presented the Planting Plan and described the native species proposed to screen the visibility of the pool. Jay Schulz asked Mr. Sherman if the proposed retaining wall would jeopardize the health of the tree in the southwest corner. Mr. Sherman stated that the existing tree would not be compromised as it is approximately 20 feet from the pool and 15 feet from the footings of the proposed retaining wall. Mr. Sherman presented the landscape site plan, renderings and sight line illustrations to show how the pool would be screened from different views. The pool was not proposed in the rear yard because the large oak tree shades the property, and there is a lot of ledge rock. Devin Bandelli is the property owner and stated that her arborist reported that any disturbance in the rear yard would jeopardize the health of the tree. The rear yard is mostly rock. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Ms. Bandelli submit the arborist report. Jay Schulz asked Ms. Bandelli if the arborist had evaluated the maple tree near the proposed pool. Ms. Bandelli stated that the arborist only evaluated the oak tree in the rear yard. 5 (7/17/25) �Mr. Sherman stated that rock chipping would not be required in the proposed pool location. Ostap Vidov is the contractor for the applicant. Mr. Vidov stated that when ledge rock chipping was performed during the construction of the rear addition, the neighboring property owners were concerned about damage to their foundation because their house is pinned to ledge rock. The neighbor’s property is closer to the applicant’s property line and sits 30 feet above the rear yard. The pool would be visible from every window and the neighbor's deck. Locating the pool on the slope of the front yard does not affect a neighbor and would be screened from those walking by. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board evaluates how the application would affect the public's views. Chris Camia suggested that the applicant could install a jet resistance pool that would reduce the footprint. Ms. Bandelli stated she would like the pool to match the house's size, and a jetted pool requires more equipment. Mr. Sherman requested that the Board refer the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a decision on the pool before addressing the engineering concerns regarding stormwater management and the wall. Chairperson Krakauer polled the Board for comments on referring the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Nielsen requested that their arborist confirm that the existing large canopy trees would not be compromised. Engineering could wait until the Zoning Board makes a decision. Mr. Schulz agreed that this is a unique situation in which the pool is not for recreation. The applicant has demonstrated that the pool would be screened and that the design will be aesthetically pleasing from the street. Saving the specimen trees is his biggest concern.

He listed the discrepancies included in the submitted application. Mr. Venditti stated that the rear yard of 72 Beekman was graded, and the retaining wall was constructed. Mr. Venditti stated that rainwater from the roof of 72 Beekman Avenue is going into the walls of the 74 Beekman Avenue building, causing mold, mildew, and damage to the building and the foundation.

Mr. Venditti asked if the Planning Board would refer the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals for the sought variances before site plan approval. Joshua Subin stated that it is a typical process that most applications start at the Planning Board and receive a positive, no objection, or negative recommendation from the Planning Board to the Zoning Board for the required variances. Mr. Venditti stated that the building was down by the owner’s accord for over two years, so no grandfathering of pre-existing non-conforming waivers are active.

He has been working with his property manager for a year and a half, and has been unsuccessful in renting out the spaces to commercial tenants. He requested that the Board reapprove the applications. Joshua Subin stated that Trustee Rodrigues has been trying to get shops in the Villages’ downtown area and suggested putting the applicant in touch with him directly. Mr. Subin provided Trustee Rodrigues’ contact number to Mr. Jeremias. Ms. Salman stated that the owner told her that there is interest on Beekman Avenue, but not on Cortlandt Street. Chris Camia stated that Beekman Avenue, Valley Street, and Cortlandt Street are considered the downtown commercial district with respect to the comprehensive plan. These three streets are highly desirable for commercial use on the ground level.

Mr. Mazzola presented the rendering of the 201-209 Hollows Pass and 200-210 Palisades Blvd. buildings and described the size and details of the townhome unit types. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Mazzola what could be done to eliminate the mirroring of the end units of each building. Mr. Mazzola described the changes made to the unit types to avoid mirroring. Chairperson Krakauer polled the Board on whether the brick color changes were enough to offset the mirroring of the units. Ken Anderson, Jay Schulz, Chris Camia, and Richard Gross agreed that the brick coloring was sufficient. Mr. Mazzola requested the Board’s approval to allow a 72% coverage on the fourth-floor lofts to allow for more space and design options.

There was a discussion between the Board and the applicant on the unit sizes and options for stepping into the fourth-floor lofts. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Mazzola if he had prepared a floor plan for the Building E end unit that included the bump out on Palisades Blvd. 11 (7/17/25) �Mr. Mazzola stated that the Site Plans have not been updated to reflect the new units and changes. He said he was seeking the Board’s approval and feedback before having the site plans revised. Mr. Mazzola presented the rendering of the 321-327 Hollows Pass and 322-328 Palisades Blvd. buildings and described the changes to the sizes and details of the townhome unit types. Mr. Mazzola requested the Board’s approval to allow a 72% coverage on the fourth-floor lofts to provide more space and design options. The Board stated that a setback of the loft on the corner unit is preferable. The Board suggested having integrated door options and different window styles for the lofts. Mr. Mazzola agreed to add larger windows on the fourth-floor lofts and stated that the buyer can choose to have French or bi-fold doors. Mr. Mazzola presented the rendering of the 212-216 Palisades Blvd. buildings and described the changes to the sizes and details of the townhome unit types. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Mazzola if something could be done to the windows to elevate the side of the end unit. Mr. Mazzola described the floor plan and stated that side elevation changes are not possible due to the required wall space. Chris Camia suggested adding a soldier course vertical articulation in the brick. Jay Schulz suggested making the windows wider on the loft side. Mr. Mazzola stated that he would look at different traditional window styles and the brick articulation. Benjamin Nielsen suggested adding a trellis-mounted climbing vegetation. Sean McCarthy asked if the gas meters are proposed on the side of the building. Mr. Mazzola stated that the gas meters would be located on one of the side elevations. The Board discussed the option of adding a three-window bay unit on the side elevation. Mr. Mazzola stated that he would determine if there was enough room from the curb to add the bay component. Mr. Mazzola presented the rendering of the 315-319 Hollows Pass building and described the changes to the sizes and details of the townhome unit types. Mr. Camia suggested adding the brick soldier course to the loft windows. 12 (7/17/25) �Mr. Mazzola presented the 301 Hollows Pass entrance and landscaping rendering and described the proposed street trees. The Board suggested looking for opportunities to add bay bump-outs and the soldier course brick to Buildings G & H. Mr. Mazzola presented an illustration and described the unit type and size changes proposed to minimize mirroring at Buildings E & F located along Tappan Zee Park. Mr. Mazzola stated that keeping the minimum required 7-foot front yard setback would prevent them from providing the jogs between the units. He requested the Board’s approval to reduce the front yard setback to 5 feet. Benjamin Nielsen asked if the buildings could be set back two feet in the rear yard. Mr. Mazzola stated that shortening the driveways would not satisfy the parking requirements. Mr. Schulz asked for the distance from the sidewalk to the building. Mr. McCarthy stated that the sidewalk and the wall are on the property line. Mr. Camia asked if the reduced setback would shrink the front patios. Mr. Mazzola stated that the units that are jogged forward might have smaller front patios. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Mr. Mazzola provide a rendering of the view from the sidewalk. Mr. Camia asked if they could move the sidewalk if granted the variance for the front yard setback. Mr. McCarthy stated that the sidewalks are in line with the other sections of the waterfront open space, so there may not be options to change them. Mr. Mazzola presented a marked-up section of the proposed site plan changes to Building G on 301-313 Hollows Pass, Building I on 315-319 Hollows Pass, and Building H on 212-216 Palisades Blvd. He said that if the Board were comfortable with the changes, they would develop and come back with a full site plan update. James Natarelli stated that the proposed location of the gas meters for Buildings H & I is directly across from the driveways of the other units. He asked Mr. Mazzola to confirm whether Con Edison would require protection. Mr. Mazzola stated that Con Edison would require bollards or a bar across the gas meters because of their proximity to the curb. He would coordinate with Con Edison and incorporate specifications into the designs. 13 (7/17/25) �Mr. Mazzola presented a marked-up section of the proposed site plan changes to Building E on 200-210 Palisades Blvd and Building F on 201-309 Hollows Pass. Mr. Mazzola presented a marked-up section of the proposed site plan changes to Building V on 321-327 Hollows Pass, and Building W on 322-328 Palisades Blvd, and stated that the green boxes represent the four column features of the end units. Mr. Anderson asked Mr. Mazzola to confirm that not all of the buildings need the 5-foot front yard setback. Mr. Mazzola confirmed that they are requesting the 5-foot front yard setback for Buildings F & E. Mr. Mazzola presented the proposed gas meter locations for each building, including preliminary landscape screening design. Mr. McCarthy stated that the illustrations do not represent the space occupied by the electric and gas meters. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Mr. Mazzola submit a more realistic representation. Mr. Mazzola stated that he would get the required specifications from Con Edison and adjust the landscaping. Mr. Camia suggested breaking up the groups of meters because there are not so many in one location. Chairperson Krakauer suggested organizing the meters so that they are not in a straight row. The Board made suggestions for the separation of meters. Mr. Mazzola stated that they are working on shrinking the size of the meters and will revise the locations as suggested. Mr. Mazzola presented the preliminary private signage plan and described the proposed locations. Mr. Camia asked if they are lighting the signage. Mr. Mazzola said that they were not proposing the signage to be lit. Chairperson Krakauer suggested that the signs should be double-sided to provide direction from either direction. 14 (7/17/25) �There was a discussion on the placement of the signs and how the directional arrows should be positioned, and how the size and width should be optimized for the circulation of the site. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Mr. Mazzola submit renderings of the views from the signs and suggested that the Board may need a site visit to determine the preferred design. Richard Gross requested that the Fire Department be invited to provide input on the streets, buildings, and signage to avoid delays of emergency services. Chairperson Krakauer suggested that a map could be provided to the Fire Department. The Board agreed to invite the Fire Department to the next meeting. Mr. Mazzola agreed to have the engineers review the proposed sign locations. There was a discussion regarding the repetitive street numbering on different streets. The Board expressed their concerns about the location of the unit numbers and the challenges that delivery and emergency services experience. Mr. Mazzola presented the emergency services circulation plan. Richard Gross requested that the Board receive input from the Fire Department. Mr. Mazzola presented the lighting plan and described where bollard and street lighting is proposed. The Board members discussed their lighting preferences and requested that Mr. Mazzola provide detailed lighting specifications. Chairperson Krakauer requested input from the Board and the consultants on scheduling a public hearing. Mr. McCarthy stated that amended site plan applications require a public hearing. The Planning Board can waive the public hearing requirement when the changes are minor. Mr. Mazzola stated that the changes to the site plan are minor and include small changes to the kid of parts. David Smith stated that to provide full transparency, the Board should schedule a public hearing for September. The Board members agreed that holding a public hearing in September provides the applicant with time to address the Board’s concerns and allows the residents to comment on the project. The Board agreed that one public notice could be written for the seven applications. Chairperson Krakauer scheduled the public hearing for the September 18, 2025, meeting and directed David Smith to a separate resolution for each of the seven applications. 15 (7/17/25) �18.

Mr. McCarthy stated that the Zoning Board did not have a quorum for the June meeting therefore, the July 16th meeting will be the first presentation and public hearing. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Planning Board has been very public about their issues with the building massing. The Planning Board did not make an official recommendation. She asked if the Zoning Board had been provided with the Board’s stance on the application. Richard Gross stated that the property is being used for equipment storage and recycling. Mr. Gross stated that the proposed building and use would be more appealing for those coming into the Village than the existing use. The Board members discussed their concerns relating to the proposed building massing and how the Board handles recommendations to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Sean McCarthy stated that the Planning Board records were shared with the Zoning Board of Appeals. The ZBA has the option of directing the application back to the Planning Board for further consideration if they are not comfortable with the presentation. Chairperson Krakauer polled the Board members to determine if they wanted to take additional action to provide official correspondence to the Zoning Board.

The Zoning Board can review the records and draw its own conclusions. Chairperson Krakauer asked Natalie Burke if there is a legal issue with providing the Zoning Board of Appeals with a letter stating that the Planning Board is not in favor of the application. Ms. Burke stated that she would have to check with Josh Subin on the legality of what is appropriate to send to the Zoning Board. Mr. McCarthy stated that some of the Planning Board's concerns are not in the purview of the Zoning Board of Appeals. The application was originally scheduled for a public hearing on June 18, 2025.

Mr. McCarthy confirmed that other buildings have street-facing end units, and agreed that the applicant may be able to reconfigure the entrance to the east elevation. 6. One Kingsland Owner, LLC, 321-327 Hollows Pass, Proposed (4) Unit Townhome Building, Amended Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Discussion Sean McCarthy presented the applicant's submission drawings and stated that this group of townhomes is located on the east side of the green space, extending from Palisades Boulevard to Hollows Pass. Chairperson Krakauer suggested adding brick color articulation to avoid mirroring between the two end units at 321-327 Hollows Pass and 322-328 Palisades Boulevard. 4 (7/10/25) �Chris Camia asked Mr. McCarthy to describe the walkway materials on the northwest section of the site plan between the alleys. Mr. McCarthy stated that it is a continuation of the road for emergency vehicle accessibility. Mr. Camia asked if bollards are proposed to prevent other vehicles from using the emergency access road. Mr. McCarthy stated that a removable bollard will be proposed to prevent vehicular use. Mr. Nielsen stated that the elevation direction labels are incorrect on the drawings. 7. One Kingsland Owner, LLC, 315-319 Hollows Pass, Proposed (3) Unit Townhome Building, Amended Site Plan &Architectural Review Approval- Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that a rendering was not submitted with this application.

Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant prepare a rendering for the building. Benjamin Nielsen and Chris Camia were in favor of the high-visibility façade treatments on the front corners of the end units. The Board discussed the north elevation drawing in relation to the mirroring of the two end units and inquired about options for the front and side facades. Guy Mazzola is the Managing Member of Sun Homes, representing the application. He described the intentions of the designs for the front and side building facades. 8.

Sean McCarthy presented the application drawings. Guy Mazzola stated that the setbacks do not allow for the side elevation bay bumpout feature on the end units. Benjamin Nielsen asked Mr. Mazzola if each of the units would include a different brick color. Mr. Mazzola stated that the designs intend to alternate two brick colors for the buildings with three units. He will have the designers alternate the colors between the buildings. 5 (7/10/25) �Richard Gross asked Mr. Mazzola to confirm that the emergency vehicle-turning radius is sufficient for the Fire Department's ladder truck. Peter Chavkin stated that the emergency vehicle-turning radius plans were reviewed and approved in the original site plan. The Board discussed the alleyways and accessibility to the park. Benjamin Nielsen and Chris Camia suggested that adding a raised pedestrian walkway across the buildings along Hollows Pass would connect the green spaces and serve pedestrians, creating a traffic calming measure. Peter Chavkin stated that he would look into creating the appropriate pathway. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Mazzola if signage would indicate that the site is residential and if additional lighting may be needed in the alley structures. Mr. Mazzola stated that he will present the signage plan and proposed lighting plans at the next meeting.

The Board discussed the end-unit features, walkways, and separations between the buildings, as well as the location of the gas meters. Jay Schulz asked if there is a walkway between the buildings. Mr. Mazzola stated that there is no walkway between the buildings that front on Palisades Boulevard and that he would confirm the separation distance. The Board requested locating the gas meters between the buildings since there is no walkway. Mr. Mazzola stated that bluestone walkways and patios are located at the front entrances. 12. Joseph and Devin Bandelli, 274 Kelbourne Avenue, Proposed pool, Site Plan Approval-Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board received additional information from the applicant and comments from Ken Anderson. The Board and James Natarelli discussed their concerns regarding the existing stonewall along Riverside Drive and whether the proposed pool and stormwater improvements would affect the wall structure. Sean McCarthy stated that no changes are proposed to the existing stonewall, and it is not part of the site plan application. If the applicant proposed a structure on top of the wall, it would require consideration. James Natarelli stated that the applicant needs to submit stormwater calculations, soil testing, and the specifications for the pool filter and utility connections. Benjamin Nielsen stated that the renderings indicate that the pool heavily relies on landscaping for screening and that he is concerned about the visibility of a pool in a front yard. Jay Schulz stated that the wall would screen the pool surface without plantings. Rachelle Gebler stated that she is concerned that approving a pool in the front yard would create a precedent. Richard Gross asked how deep the pool is. 7 (7/10/25) �Mr. McCarthy stated that the proposed pool is 4 feet deep, 5 feet wide and 35 wide long. The application requires variance approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals. He suggested that the Board could make the referral to the Zoning Board before the applicant completes the engineering drawings. The Board discussed the distance of the pool from the neighboring properties and how it would impact the pedestrian views. Chris Camia stated that he has no issues with the pool. He is that the stonewall would be affected by the proposed storm water retention systems. Chairperson Krakauer polled the Board on referring the application to the Zoning Board. Benjamin Nielsen and Rachelle Gebler opposed making a recommendation to the ZBA and approving a pool in the required front yard. Jay Schulz stated that he has no issue with the proposed pool, as it will not be visible from the Street. Chris Camia and Richard Gross were not opposed to the pool, provided that the engineering does not compromise the stone wall. Chris Camia suggested a change to the proposed aluminum fencing at the front of the house. Mr. McCarthy stated that the stone wall is not an issue at this point. If the Zoning Board approves the pool, it is the applicants’ responsibility to certify that the pool structure will not impact the wall. Chairperson Krakauer stated that she is not in favor of the proposed pool. She will brief Ken Anderson on their discussion. The Board will take action at the July 17, 2025, meeting when the full board is present. 13. Cortlandt Development, LLC, 377 North Broadway, Proposed deli/market, Amended Site Plan and Architectural Review Approval-Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that David Smith drafted a resolution. Chris Camia stated that the Board was waiting for the engineer to confirm the bollard spacing, and responses to adding additional green space, reducing impervious surface, and finalizing the trash enclosure. Jay Schulz asked if the proposed roundabouts should affect the site plan approval. Sean McCarthy stated that the proposal from the New York State Department of Transportation is not part of the application and would have no impact on the site plan approval. Mr. McCarthy stated that the amendment to the approved site plan proposes to reduce the size of the building. 8 (7/10/25) �Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board is ready to approve the resolution with conditions at the July meeting. She will brief David Smith on the language changes. 14. 72 Beekman Avenue Enterprises, LLC, 72 Beekman Avenue, Amended Site Plan and Architectural Review Approval-Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board received information from the attorney representing the owner of 74 Beekman Avenue and will allow the attorney to share this information during the July meeting presentation. Sean McCarthy stated that the owner received a stop-work order for building the retaining wall without site plan approval. The owner had the opportunity to remove and restore the site. Since the owner is requesting amended site plan approval, he is required to prove that the wall is structurally sound, within the property lines, and to confirm the impacts on storm drainage. Chris Camia suggested scheduling a site visit. The Board discussed tentative times for setting up a site visit to the 72 Beekman Avenue property. Mr. McCarthy stated the Board could schedule a public hearing for the September meeting. This would give them the month of August to prepare responses to staff concerns. 15. Sleepy Hollow Holdings, LLC, 144 Cortlandt Street, Proposed change of use Site Plan and Architectural Review Approval-Discussion 16. Sleepy Hollow Holdings, LLC, 196 Cortlandt Street, Proposed change of use Site Plan and Architectural Review Approval-Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that commercial use is approved for both properties. There are business owners seeking storefronts. This should be considered before granting a change of use for residential. Sean McCarthy stated that he is not aware of any contact with the applicant and interested commercial use parties. Chris Camia requested advice of counsel to confirm what is within the Board’s purview for change of use approvals. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board would consult with Joshua Subin before the next meeting. 9 (7/10/25) �17. Origins Collective, LLC, 178 Beekman Avenue, Proposed change of use Site Plan and Architectural Review Approval-Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that this site connects the commercial hubs. Rachelle Gebler asked Sean McCarthy if there is a difference in parking requirements between a religious facility and a salon use. Mr. McCarthy stated that the salon use would require less parking than a public assembly use. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. McCarthy how many parking spots exist behind the building. Mr. McCarthy stated that there are no on-site parking spaces. The owner also has an approved Building Permit to renovate the front façade. Mr. Camia suggested that the applicant include the approved facade drawings in the presentation. The Planning Board discussed the property's past uses, signage, and licensing requirements. Chairperson Krakauer adjourned the work session at 9:00 PM.

Mr. Marchionne presented Version 5.2 of the proposed plan and described the changes related to the third-floor canopy overhang, soffit and fascia material, and railings. Benjamin Nielsen requested that the neighborhood elevation illustration be updated based on the latest version. Chairperson Krakauer requested that an additional tree be planted in the northeast corner of the parking area and asked Mr. Marchionne to provide details for the guardrail at the back of the property. Mr. Marchionne described the materials proposed for the guardrail along the slope and stated that they would be similar to those installed at 46 Hudson Street. Chris Camia stated that he would prefer the use of timber materials rather than galvanized steel for the guardrails. James Natarelli stated that an easement is required between 48 Hudson Street and 50 Hudson Street for maintenance of the drainage system. Mr. Natarelli requested that the easement be added to the plans. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board requires evidence of the proposed easement on the plans before the Board will move forward. Rachelle Gebler moved to open the public hearing. 2 (6/26/25) �Moved: Gebler Seconded: Gross Vote 6-0 Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the public. William White stated that he is a resident of 48 Hudson Street, and he does not see any changes in the revised design that would fit into the neighborhood. There were no other public comments. Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant submit revisions that include updating the neighborhood elevation illustration, adding the drainage easement, using timber for the guardrails, and adding a tree to the northeast corner of the parking area. She requested that the applicant consider gable roofing. Ms. Krakauer stated that, as someone who lives in the neighborhood, she believes gable-style roofing is one of the exciting features of the houses on the street. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board is comfortable drafting a resolution pending the items being addressed before the next meeting. Chairperson Krakauer directed David Smith to prepare a draft resolution. Mr. Nielsen stated that the open railings and the covered porch are big improvements. An updated neighborhood elevation would provide better context for how the house will fit with the neighborhood. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Version 1 be included in the updated neighborhood elevation illustration to show the progression of the design. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the applicant should come back next month. No action was taken. 3. 188 Wyatt, LLC, 188 Cortlandt Street, Amended Site Plan Approval- Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that applicant requested an adjournment to the next meeting. No action was taken. 4. Joseph and Devin Bandelli, 274 Kelbourne Avenue, Proposed pool, Site Plan Approval, Preliminary presentation Dan Sherman stated he is representing the applicants. Mr. Sherman stated that the application proposes to construct a lap pool that is five feet wide by thirty-five feet long on a corner lot. The application requires approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals for the pool enclosure and driveway gate heights in the front yard. 3 (6/26/25) �Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Sherman if he had explored different locations and configurations for the pool. Mr. Sherman stated that the backyard consists of solid rock and big oak trees. The pool location is proposed against the existing patio and would provide a view of the river. The proposed pool would appear as a brick terrace from the street level. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board has concerns about the pool's location being in front of the house. Although the elevation changes may shield the view of the pool from the street, there are noise factors to consider, and the Board has not approved pools in front yards of other properties. Ms. Krakauer asked Mr. Sherman to describe the proposed fencing that extends beyond the pool enclosure. Mr. Sherman stated that they are proposing a gate for the driveway. The fencing around the rear of the property is code-compliant and is not part of the application. Mr. Sherman stated that the application proposes a brick wall for the pool enclosure and a privacy wall off the house foyer to keep the pool area private from the front door, walkway, and steps. Chris Camia asked Sean McCarthy if aluminum fencing is permitted in the front yard along the street. Mr. McCarthy stated that the maximum fence height in the front yard is three feet. Benjamin Nielsen asked Mr. Sherman why a similar brick approach is not proposed across the elevations instead of the aluminum fencing. Mr. Sherman stated that the brick is intended to appear as a terrace. The fencing is intended to be more transparent. There was a discussion among Mr. Sherman, Benjamin Nielsen, and James Natarelli regarding impervious surfaces, subsurface infiltration systems, and the condition of the existing retaining wall. Ostap Vidov stated that he is a contractor from Kova Construction completing the work at the property. He and the owner are aware that the wall's condition requires attention. Chairperson Krakauer polled the Board members for their comments related to the proposed location of the pool. Mr. Nielsen said he has concerns about a pool in the public right-of-way facing portion of any property and does not think there is a precedent for it in the Village. Chris Camia and Rachelle Gebler agreed with Mr. Nielsen’s concerns about the pool location. Jay Schulz stated that the use of stone and brick could mitigate the aesthetic impact of the pool location, but appreciates the concerns of setting a precedent for allowing pools in the front yard. 4 (6/26/25) �Mr. Nielsen stated that using native planting for landscaping is a Village standard. He suggested Mr. Sherman consider landscaping in front of the wall enclosure. Mr. Nielsen asked Mr. Sherman to describe the location of the proposed pool equipment and inquired whether the property consists of two parcels. Mr. Sherman stated that the pool equipment would be located in the rear yard and piped around the north side of the property. Mr. Vidov stated that the plan includes an old two-foot-high retaining wall. There are not two parcels. The location of the pool was chosen because of the ledge rock, elevation changes, and the lack of privacy in the rear yard. Since the property is a corner lot, it is considered to have two front yards. There was a discussion with Mr. Nielsen, Mr. Sherman, and Mr. Vidov regarding the views from adjacent properties and Kelbourne Avenue. Mr. Nielsen stated that the reason for not allowing pools in front yards is due to privacy and separation. The application should comprehensively demonstrate that the pool will not have a visual impact on the adjacent properties and street. There was a discussion regarding the size of the proposed pool. Mr. Sherman stated that he would discuss adding a low hedge around the pool. Chris Camia stated that there should be a high focus on an engineering review. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board needs more time to discuss the application before referring the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Mr. Sherman submit updated materials by July 10, 2025, for the Work Session. There was a discussion on which items require approval from the Planning Board. Mr. Natarelli stated that he would prepare an engineering review. Mr. Schulz requested that plans be submitted to show different lines of sight. Mr. Sherman stated that he would prepare a 3D topo model that would show how the pool would be viewed from adjacent properties. No action was taken. 5 (6/26/25) �5. Cortlandt Development LLC, 377 North Broadway, Proposed deli/market, Amended Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Preliminary presentation Jonathan Merheb stated that he is an engineer from JMER Engineering, P.C., presenting on behalf of Cortalndt Development. Mr. Merheb stated that the property owner and the tenant for the deli determined that the construction logistics for the driveway would be tight for deliveries and garbage pickup. The application proposes demolishing an 8-foot section of the building and reducing its size by 160 square feet. The application would improve site safety by increasing the building setback from North Broadway and widening the driveway by 3 feet. Per the conditions of the original approval, adjustments were made to the lighting plan and fixtures. Mr. Merheb stated that although he did not update the renderings, the owner still plans to reuse the existing stone on the front elevation. The revised plan would eliminate one entrance and some shelving in the deli space. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Merheb to describe the proposed garbage enclosure. Mr. Merheb stated that a white vinyl privacy fencing material is proposed for the garbage enclosure. Only the adjacent properties would be visible from the garbage enclosure area. Benjamin Nielsen suggested that the applicant consider using synthetic decking material for the garbage enclosure to provide better aesthetics and durability. Jay Schulz suggested adding plantings to offset the additional impervious surface. There was a discussion between the Board members and Mr. Merheb on the possibilities of adding additional landscaping. Mr. Merheb stated that he would add low shrubbery under the bay window. There was a discussion between the Board members and Mr. Merheb regarding the change in the number of outdoor eating tables and the number and spacing of the proposed bollards. James Natarelli and Mr. Merheb discussed the requested stormwater changes from the original approval. The Board agreed that the amended application would be an improvement to the approved site plan. Benjamin Nielsen moved to waive the public hearing requirement. Moved: Nielsen Seconded: Camia Vote 6-0 Chairperson Krakauer requested that a draft resolution be prepared for the July 17, 2025 meeting. 6 (6/26/25) �6. 72 Beekman Avenue Enterprises, LLC, 72 Beekman Avenue, Proposed mixed-use building, Amended Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Preliminary presentation Gabrielle Salman stated that she is an architect representing the applicant. Ms. Salman stated that the structure is a mixed-use building in the C-2 zoning district, currently under construction. Ms. Salman stated that the changes include a concrete platform and stairs to the yard for garbage disposal containers, air conditioning units, and a wraparound retaining wall. Chairperson Krakauer asked Ms. Salman to describe the reasons for the requested changes. Ms. Salman stated that the changes are necessary due to the change in the air conditioning system. The proposed changes would enable the applicant to maximize green space and minimize the platform's requirements. Benjamin Nielsen asked Ms. Salman if the proposed retaining wall would affect the use of the alleyway in the back and inquired about how trash is removed from the property. Ms. Salman stated there is no alleyway and that the garbage would be brought out through the building to the front for pickup. Ms. Salman stated that the proposed changes to the first floor include reducing the size of the bathroom and modifications to the front elevation. The space is proposed to be an ice cream store. The Board of Health is reviewing the plan and expects approvals within the next couple of weeks. Rachelle Gebler asked Ms. Salman to describe the proposed changes to the front façade. Ms. Salman presented the proposed conditions plan and stated that the front elevations include changes to the windows, doors, and revisions to the proportions of the elevations. Chris Camia asked Ms. Salman to show the comparisons of what is proposed from the approved site plan drawings. Ms. Salman stated that site plan comparisons are not included in her current presentation. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Ms. Salman prepare a side-by-side comparison of the approved building and the proposed changes. Ms. Salman stated that she would prepare a comparison of the approved and proposed site plan. The proposed changes also include adding treatments for the gaps on the sides of the building. Mr. Nielsen asked if signage is proposed on the building and the ice cream business. 7 (6/26/25) �Ms. Salman stated that there is signage embedded in the brick on top of the building. Cristian Carrion stated that he is the owner and the contractor for the building. The ice cream store proposes to use an awning for signage. Mr. Carrion stated that the main reason for coming to the Planning Board was to obtain approval for the back elevation. There is a four-foot drop from the backyard to the building corridor. Originally, a wooden deck and platform were not permitted due to the setbacks. The concrete platform and stairs will provide a place to store the garbage cans and offer a way for tenants to carry them out through the building corridor to the street. Mr. Nielsen asked Mr. Carrion if railings are proposed for the platform. Mr. Carrion stated that a 4-foot high railing is proposed. Mr. Nielsen asked Ms. Salman if the garbage platform would be visible from the adjacent properties. Ms. Salman stated that the platform would not be visible from adjacent properties. Chris Camia requested that Ms. Salman include the awning on the elevation drawings. Mr. Nielsen asked Mr. Carrion to describe the layout of the doors and entrances. Mr. Carrion described the use of the doors for the retail and residential spaces. Jay Schulz asked Mr. Carrion to describe what the back half of the lot will be used for. Mr. Carrion stated that the rear yard is grass and will be used as recreational space for the tenants. There was a discussion with James Natarelli, Ms. Salman, and Mr. Carrion regarding the property grade changes, intentions for the proposed retaining wall, the existing retaining wall, and how the drainage may be effected. James Natarelli requested that the applicant prepare spot elevations and contours. Chairperson Krakauer stated that she would be comfortable waiving the public hearing requirement and asked the Board if they prefer to wait to review the façade comparison. Jay Schulz stated that if the front façade is changing, the Board should wait to receive the comparison drawings from the architect. Ms. Salman stated that she would submit a site plan comparison and responses to the Boards request. Chairperson Krakauer directed David Smith to draft a resolution. 8 (6/26/25) �No action was taken. 7. Sleepy Hollow Holdings, LLC, 144 Cortlandt Street, Proposed change of use, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval – Preliminary presentation Gabrielle Salman is the architect representing the applicant. Ms. Salman stated that a Building Permit was issued during the COVID pandemic to convert the first floor commercial space into a residential apartment. The applicant did not complete the work. Ms. Salman stated that the building currently contains (1) three bedroom apartment on the second floor and (2) two bedroom apartments on the third floor. The application proposes to convert the first floor space into (1) three bedroom apartment. Benjamin Nielsen asked Ms. Salman if the first floor is currently a retail space. Ms. Salman stated that the first floor space is currently vacant. The owner decided to convert the space to residential because he has not been able to get a tenant for years. Mr. Nielsen stated that there has been a lot of the discussion with Board of Trustees with business owners who claim they are having a difficult time finding retail space in the Village. Mr. Camia stated that there are at least three business owners looking for retail space on Beekman Avenue. Ms. Salman presented the first floor existing and proposed conditions plan and described the proposed apartment floor plan layout. Ms. Salman stated that the application requires approval for change of use and SEQRA. Ms. Salman presented the elevation drawings. Chairperson Krakauer asked Ms. Salman if she would ask the applicant if they want to have to have a connection with Board of Trustees to see if there a possible business owner interested before going through the Planning Board process Ms. Salman stated that she would have a discussion with the property owners to see if they are interested in connecting with the Board of Trustees. Benjamin Nielsen asked Sean McCarthy if keeping the commercial use would eliminate the need to get Planning Board approval. Sean McCarthy stated the commercial space of 144 Cortlandt Street used to be a bakery. Someone recently inquired about opening up a candy store. Keeping the commercial use eliminates the need for Planning Board or Zoning Board of Appeals approval. Mr. Nielsen stated that the community and economic conditions have changed in the last five years. 8. Sleepy Hollow Holdings, LLC, 196 Cortlandt Street, Proposed change of use, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Preliminary presentation 9 (6/26/25) �Gabrielle Salman stated the application proposed to convert the area on the right side of the first floor into a three-bedroom apartment. Ms. Salman described the floor plan and elevations, and stated that this space is in disrepair and requires structural reconstruction and has been vacant for more than ten years. She will discuss the option of keeping a commercial tenant with the owner. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the applicant may reach out to the Board of Trustees directly. No action was taken. 9.
