Mr. Shirriah stated they had taken the Board's suggestion at the last meeting to look at other homes in the area. Eric Osborn stated they had added stone elements around the garage doors, the front entry and the concrete foundation on three sides. He showed new plans to the Board. He indicated the trim around the windows, including two bay windows, the gables and the trim area above the stone on top of the garage. Sean McCarthy asked if the house had vinyl siding. Mr. Osborn replied it did. Mr. Osborn stated the front entryway was set back about two feet and there was a small "eyebrow" roof over the front door. �Sean McCarthy asked the height of the garage doors. Mr. Osborn stated they were 7 feet high by 9 feet wide. Mr. McCarthy asked if the bay windows were cantilevered. Mr. Osborn stated they were. Mr. McCarthy asked if the house had a two-story foyer. Mr. Osborn stated it was and there was a window directly above the door. Krista Callaghan asked about the roof over the front door. She stated it did not appear to provide protection for the front entry or add anything to the design. She also stated the front door seemed tight with the lighting on either side of the door. Mr. Osborn suggested moving the lighting over the door. Sean McCarthy suggested removing the stone trim around the door and adding a pilasterstyle trim to make the door appear wider. He also suggested extending the stone across the first level of the house. Discussion ensued regarding placement of the stone and the entryway. Mr. McCarthy asked what was in the space above the garage. Mr. Osborn stated that was the master bathroom and a closet area. The tub would be placed below the window on the second floor over the garage. Mr. McCarthy asked about the front stairs and entry platform. Nicholas Shirriah stated there were only a few steps. Mr. Osborn stated the stairs would be concrete covered with bluestone. Mr. McCarthy asked if the risers would be covered in the same stone. Mr. Osborn replied it would be the same stone. Mr. McCarthy suggested they use the same material on the band above the stone of the garage and on the foundation, to create a consistent use of materials. Mr. McCarthy asked about the Tudor curve on the bottom of the roofline. He also asked about the rakes on the roof. Mr. Osborn stated all the rakes were a foot to give definition to the roofline. Mr. McCarthy asked if the returns on the rakes would return onto themselves and what material would be used. Mr. Osborn stated the rakes would be asphalt. Discussion ensued regarding the returns and the gutters that would wrap into the returns. Sean McCarthy asked about the roof material on the bay windows. Mr. Osborn stated the material could be shingle or copper. Mr. McCarthy suggested it should be copper and a space be added between the top of the bay windows and the roof and also a window head trim detail. The Board felt the material used on the rakes should match the roof material on the bays. Mr. McCarthy suggested the sub-fascia on the rakes should return underneath the eaves. Discussion ensued regarding the entryway and the location of the stone on the front of the house. Architectural Review Board Meeting, February 26, 2 0 1 4 - APPROVED 2 �Krista Callaghan asked about changing the plane of the entry to change the condition of the front door. Sean McCarthy suggested a taller door with a transom above it to add focus to the front entryway. Ms. Callaghan suggested bumping the roofline. Mr. Osborn stated there is still an issue of the phone/electrical pole in the rear of the house. Mr. McCarthy asked if the plan would need much adjustment if the applicant doesn't get Zoning Board approval. Mr. Shirriah stated there would only be change on one side. Mr. McCarthy suggested the applicant make the recommended changes and make the new plans available to the Board for review. The Board also suggested the applicant think about the color palette for the house. 2) Mario M. Hernandez 19 Barnhart Avenue New application Sam Vieira, architect and Mario M. Hernandez, owner represented this application for a second story rear addition and open deck to the existing house. This property has received Zoning Board variances. Mr. Vieira stated the project is for a second story addition to the rear of the house. He stated the homes in this area are very close to each other. The front view of the house remains unchanged. Their intent is to restore what is currently there, especially the front porch. The addition in the back will carry the same line as the existing sidewalls. They will replace the exterior with a horizontal cement board product because that material has a much better fire rating than standard vinyl siding. There will be new windows added and the existing windows will be replaced. The windows will be white clad, Anderson windows. On the gable ends, the horizontal siding will be replaced with Hardie shakes. They are using Hardie plank corner boards as well. All the siding and shakes will be in a factory finish. The trim work on the corners and windows will be white. The biggest difference to the house is in the rear. The new second story will carry the roofline forward. They are also adding a rear, 12 x 10 foot, wood deck with metal stairs. Sean McCarthy asked about the gables and the roofline of the house. Mr. Vieira stated the back of the house is wider than the front. There is a higher pitch to the roof, however there is no proposal to finish the attic. It will be used as an unfinished storage area. Mr. McCarthy asked if the handrail detail on the deck would be the same metal as the stairs. Mr. Vieira stated they are proposing wood railings and balusters on the deck. Krista Callaghan asked about the colors for the proposed renovation. Mario Hernandez stated they were thinking of using a blue tone for the siding and the shakes. He suggested Boothbay Blue or Evening Blue. Mr. Hernandez stated he would put a darker tone on the shakes. The Board suggested a darker tone for the gables. Mr. Hernandez stated the blue Architectural Review Board Meeting, February 26, 2 0 1 4 - APPROVED 3 �color would be different from the other houses in this area. Mr. Vieira stated the house would have white trim. The Board suggested a darker tone for the roof color, possibly dark slate color. There were no public comments. The Board stated there was enough information for this applicant to proceed with a building permit. 3) Three of Them. LLC 16 New Broadway New application Gerarda Rella represented this application for a new driveway entry gate to the parking area for this property. Ms. Rella stated it was a commercial building and random people are parking in the driveway during the day and on the weekends. The staff is concerned their cars may be damaged. The gate they are proposing is a remote controlled gate that pivots up so there would be no issues with the snow. Mr. McCarthy asked the dimensions of the gate. Ms. Rella stated the gate was 20 feet long. Mr. McCarthy asked how the mechanism of the gate would be concealed. Ms. Rella stated there was a pine tree and the 24-inch box would be next to the tree. The mechanism on the other corner would be hidden by a large rock. Mr. McCarthy asked if the gate would open automatically when someone pulled up to it. Ms. Rella stated all the employees would have a remote in their vehicle. Mr. McCarthy asked how the clients would access the parking area. Ms. Rella stated their clients do not park in the lot because there is only enough parking for the employees. The Board stated their concern that this might be a Planning Board issue because of the ingress and egress. Mr. McCarthy asked if this was the only style of gate available. Ms. Rella stated because of the mechanism involved in the pivot, this was the only style for this particular gate. Mr. McCarthy asked if there was a need to have the skirt below the arm of the gate. Ms. Rella felt it looked more industrial if there was only an arm. Mr. McCarthy thought it was less intrusive to just have an arm and it could be more decorative to go with the building style. Sean McCarthy stated his concern with a client trying to enter and then having to back out onto the state road. Architectural Review Board Meeting, February 26, 2 0 1 4 - APPROVED 4 �Ms. Callaghan stated the current gate seemed excessive to accomplish the applicant's need. The Board suggested minimizing the gate 12 or 14 feet long instead of the proposed 20 feet in length and eliminating the skirt of the gate. The Board also added the condition that landscaping hide the mechanism of the box. The Board recommended moving this application to the Planning Board to determine if this proposal requires site plan approval. They suggested the applicant submit an alternative gate design that is less obtrusive. This matter will remain on the Architectural Review Board's agenda pending Planning Board review. 4) Raphael Alba & Joanna Cuevas 2 2 5 Gordon Avenue New application Raphael Alba and Joanna Cuevas, owners represented this application for a new perimeter fence. Joanna Cuevas stated their property is a corner lot along Gordon and Holland Avenues. They are proposing a three-foot high fence along the setback on Gordon and on the other sides, the fence would be four feet high. The fence would be constructed from Vermont cedar. There would be two gates; one gate would be on the Gordon Ave side and another gate on the side. Ms. Cuevas stated the fence would be around the landing and the steps. The fence would be behind the retaining wall on Gordon Ave. The owners presented photographs that showed the location of the fence on the property. Ms. Cuevas stated they would take the trees into consideration when placing the fence. Mr. McCarthy asked if the fence would be on their property line on the south side. He suggested they install the good side of the fence facing them since there is a wall on the other side of the fence. Mr. McCarthy also stated the fence along the street should have the good side facing the street. Mr. McCarthy asked if it would be a solid fence in the front of the house. Ms. Cuevas stated their concern was their small dog getting through the slats of the fence. Krista Callaghan suggested something with a small spacing. Mr. McCarthy suggested solid fencing at the transition from the three-foot high fence to the four-foot high fence. Mr. McCarthy asked about the finish for the fence. Mr. Alba stated they considered either staining the fence to enhance the cedar color or painting the fence a white color. Mr. McCarthy suggested painting the spaced front fence but leaving the rear fence to blend into the background. The applicants thought staining would make it easier to paint the fence at a later time. The Board also recommended a solid colored stain that could be a lighter color rather than a stark white color. Architectural Review Board Meeting, February 26, 2 0 1 4 - APPROVED 5 �There were no public comments regarding this application. The Board stated this application was approved as submitted with the following conditions: • A three-foot, spaced fence on top of the wall along the Gordon Avenue side. • The balance of the fence being a solid, four foot high fence in the rear and sides of the property. • Two gates. 5) Approval of Minutes January 22, 2 0 1 4 The Board approved the minutes for January 22, 2014 as submitted.

Sam Vieira represented this application. The building is on the corner of Valley Street and College Avenue. It was converted from a warehouse/roofing company to predominately residential apartments with one office. Mr. Vieira stated there is a need for a garbage enclosure to hide the roll-off container and to prevent the disposal of garbage that is not associated with the tenants of this building. The �structure of the enclosure would be five or six feet high, metal structure with gates that swing out, 5-1/4 x 6 slats, synthetic decking material to maintain color and look. The color would be close to the building color. Krista Callaghan asked if there was a top to this structure. Mr. Vieira stated the rolloff container has a lid. If the enclosure had a roof, it would be considered an addition. Ms. Callaghan asked about the height of the enclosure. Sean McCarthy stated the maximum height could be six feet. Mr. Vieira would like it to be six feet high to shield the amount of the garbage in the container and prevent the disappearance of his recycling containers. Sean McCarthy asked if there was another location on the property for the garbage area. Mr. Vieira stated there was one other possible location but the property would lose a parking space and there would be no room to roll out the garbage container. Discussion ensued about other possible locations for the garbage enclosure. Mr. McCarthy inquired about the number of units in the building. Mr. Vieira stated there were ten units so he needed a large container. Krista Callaghan asked about the shape of the enclosure. Mr. Vieira stated the enclosure is angled so he can fit the rolloff container and recycle containers without hitting the curb cut. Sean McCarthy asked about the finish for the enclosure. Mr. Vieira stated it is a premanufactured color and the color on the drawing he presented was very accurate. The material is easy to wash and maintain. It has a steel frame. Discussion ensued about the construction of the enclosure. Krista Callaghan stated her concern regarding the color of the enclosure since it would be located on the street side. She suggested using an alternate color, possibly black. Mr. Vieira stated the synthetic material does not come in black and is a preferred material since it requires less maintenance. Discussion ensued about the color of the enclosure. Mr. Vieira suggested bringing alternate color samples of the synthetic material to the Building Department for the Board to review. There were no comments from the public regarding this application. The Board approved this application subject to color samples that would be provided for the Board's approval and determination. 3) Domingo Acevado Dba La Famosa Corp. 9 4 Beekman Avenue Continued Domingo and Diana Acevedo represented this application for a grocery store awning.

Sean McCarthy stated that the sign must have some identification of what is happening in the store. He suggested the sign say La Famosa Corp. Mini-market or La Famosa Market.

Mr. Tancredi stated plans had been submitted for the first part of the building permit. He stated the plans were being split because of the code requirements for installing a sprinkler system if the percentage of new construction is over 50%.

He stated the location of the sign and its' size would remain the same. The proposed sign would be one-inch PVC, double-sided, raised panels, and burgundy color with painted gold leaf lettering. The current signposts would be repainted. The Board suggested the following changes: • Including the building number on the sign if it is not on the building. • Removing the Workers Compensation advertising from the sign and adjusting the size of the lettering. • Changing the color scheme to forest green with gold leaf lettering so the sign would differentiate from the residential area sign for Webber Park. The Board asked if there were any public comments regarding this application. There were no public comments. Sean McCarthy stated the application was approved with the changes indicated and the applicant could apply for a building permit. 6 ) Timothy Nelson 2 5 Millard Avenue New Application Frank Tancredi, architect and Tim Nelson, owner represented this application. The proposal is to demolish a former garage and artist studio and construct a two-car, freestanding garage in the same vicinity along with reducing impervious surface area. They would also reconstruct the front porch and install railings where there were none before. He stated the materials for the garage would be 24 x 2 4 Hardie board siding, Azek trim and roof shingles to match the architectural series on the house. The color of the garage would be similar to the current house color. Mr. Tancredi showed photos to the Board of the style of the garage door. Sean McCarthy asked about constructing a Dutch-style roof for the garage. The applicant stated it was more expensive, however it could be a project for future restoration of the house. Mr. McCarthy asked if there were any comments from the public. There were no public comments. The Board approved the application as submitted with the option that the owner would not have to reappear before the Board if they decide to install a Dutch-style roof over the garage.

Frank Tancredi, architect and Matthew Weidner, homeowner represented this application. �Frank Tancredi submitted photographs of the existing structure. He stated the applicant would like to raise the garage roof and construct a study/meditation room. They will extend the dormer in the front to blend into the new mass of the structure. In the rear they are proposing extending the family room and then adding a new deck. The applicant may possibly change the garage doors depending on the cost. The entire house will have a new roof, siding and new replacement windows. The siding will be Hardie board in a shade of white to blend in with the existing granite stone on the house. Mr. Tancredi stated the front porch would be constructed in a mahogany material and most of the trim would be Azek. They will demolish an existing greenhouse in the rear of the house to extend the family room seven feet. This will allow them to extend the basement to make it a walkout basement. The basement will be finished at a later date. Sean McCarthy asked if the whole house would be re-sided. Mr. Tancredi stated they would be using Hardie shakes unless it is cost prohibitive. Sean McCarthy suggested using shiplap throughout and just using the Hardie shake for decorative elements. Mr. Tancredi stated they would consider that option. Sean McCarthy asked if the louver was functional. Mr. Tancredi stated it was not functional. Mr. McCarthy suggested putting a return gable at the top, which increases the pitch of the roof and adds a nice detail. Mr. Tancredi stated he would consider the gable as an option. The Board agreed the applicant could side the house as planned or use clapboard on the entire upper level with the exception of the garage level, which would be Hardie board. Mr. Tancredi informed the Board that there was a tree within 10 feet of the house. Mr. McCarthy stated the applicant should include that on the permit. Sean McCarthy asked if there were any public comments. There were no comments. Mr. McCarthy stated the applicant could submit an application for a building permit with the conditions stated. 4) Mary Linder 2 5 5 Highland Avenue New Application Emilio Escaladas, architect, Mary Linder, homeowner and Greg Beyl, contractor represented this application. Mr. Escaladas stated the application was for finishing the entrance to the house and the canopy over the entrance platform. Mr. Escaladas indicated the new entrance on the plans. They are proposing columns for the front, which will be constructed out of a composite material such as Azek, with a flat roof to protect the front door and flagstone for the platform. Architectural Review Board Meeting, May 22, 2013 - APPROVED 2 �Mary Linder stated they would also be building a flagstone patio over an existing concrete patio. Discussion ensued regarding the location of the existing patio and the design for the new flagstone patio. Sean McCarthy asked about the height of the patio walls. Greg Beyl stated they were approximately 16 inches high. Mr. McCarthy asked if the pergola shown on the plans would be constructed. Mary Linder stated it would not. There was discussion regarding building a structure that extends into the lot next door that is also owned by the applicant. Sean McCarthy stated that since both lots were adjoined they could build onto the other lot. The only concern the applicant needs to address would be any easements or removal of any structures if the lot is divided and sold at a later date. Mary Linder stated her concern about the tree that is less than 10 feet from the house. She wanted the Board to be aware that she does not want the tree to be taken down. Greg Beyl asked if they constructed the stone patio at grade on the lot, would that have to be included on the building permit. Sean McCarthy stated that should be included in the application to the Building Department because they have to provide the necessary drainage for any hard surface but they don't have to reappear before the Architectural Review Board. Sean McCarthy asked if they would construct the columns or install pre-fabricated columns. Greg Beyl stated they would buy prefabricated square columns as well as the post on top of the columns. Krista Callaghan asked the dimensions of the columns. Mr. Escaladas stated they would be standard 10 x 10 columns. Sean McCarthy inquired as to the height of the columns. Mr. Escaladas stated they were approximately 8 feet high. Mr. McCarthy asked if there were pilasters against the building that align with the columns. Mr. Escaladas indicated the pilasters on the plans. Sean McCarthy asked about the rail system on the top that has double posts. Mr. Escaladas stated they are trying to maintain the space of the posts and recognize the window above. There was discussion about using double columns or eliminating the double posts on top of the columns. Mr. Escaladas stated that double columns would be too thick and he felt this was the correct proportion for the massing of the structure. Sean McCarthy suggested that the entablature not go beyond the face of the column otherwise the structure appears top heavy in relation to the column width. The centerline of the beam should be the centerline of the column. Sean McCarthy asked if there was a gutter for drainage. Mr. Escalades stated they thought about running it down the column. Greg Beyl asked if the Board would approve 12 x 12 column width. Mr. McCarthy stated they would have to figure out how to get the drainpipe Architectural Review Board Meeting, May 22, 2013 - APPROVED 3 �through the beam above. There was discussion about drainage. Greg Beyl stated the drainage would be concealed. Greg Beyl asked about the lighting in the roof. Sean McCarthy stated he had no objection to a fixture hanging down from the roof of the canopy because there was enough room. Krista Callaghan agreed with Sean McCarthy regarding the proportion of the column to the proportion of the entablature. Mr. McCarthy suggested the applicant plan for the column width so it doesn't extend out over the platform width. Sean McCarthy asked if there were any comments from the public. There were no comments. Mr. McCarthy stated there was enough information for the applicant to submit an application for a building permit. 5) Jean-Pierre Latrille 261 HarwoodAvenue New Application Yolanda Latrille, homeowner, and Demetrious Demetriou, architect, represented this application. The application is for an addition to a single-family residence. They are increasing space on the second floor without making it look like a huge structure. Mr. Demetriou stated they would be using the same material, cedar shake siding but with the addition of clapboard on the gables. They are using the detail on the garage and introducing it in other places to keep a unity of design. They do not want to make the house look like a three story brownstone so they scaled back the facade on the east side of the house to make it less imposing. Krista Callaghan asked about the existing roofline. Mr. Demetriou indicated this on the plants. He stated it was eight feet to the peak of the roof from the attic. Mr. Demetriou stated the structure currently has a true attic space but the new design would only have enough space for the electrical. The plans show a master bedroom ceiling that is higher since four gables intersect for a dramatic look. Mr. Demetriou stated that the current siding is perfect cedar shakes and they would like to change the siding on the garage side and they are proposing a window in place of the current vent on the gable above the garage. Sean McCarthy asked about the chimney and why it doesn't show on the roofline. Mr. Demetriou noted that for the plans. Mr. McCarthy asked if the chimney would be brick. Mr. Demetriou stated it would be brick. Mr. McCarthy asked about the chimney in the middle of the house. Mr. Demetriou stated it was only for mechanical purposes and not a functioning fireplace. Architectural Review Board Meeting, May 22, 2013 - APPROVED 4 �Sean McCarthy asked about the material under the windows. Mr. Demetriou stated it was roofing material. The windows are casement windows. The upper windows would read as dormers so as not to make it look like a second floor. Sean McCarthy asked about extending the plane of the wall on the south side of the house. Discussion ensued about the roofline and the mass of the building. Mr. McCarthy asked if one could see the bottom of the house from the street. Yolanda Latrille stated they would not be able to see much of it. Mr. McCarthy suggested moving the roofline and wrapping it so that it terminates into the house. Mr. Demetrious agreed to keep the overhang garrison detail and remove the roof on that side. Sean McCarthy asked if the materials are indicated on the plans. Mr. Demetriou stated they were. Mr. McCarthy asked about the second floor windows. Mr. Demetriou stated they would be Jeld Wen windows to match the same style as the existing windows. Krista Callaghan asked if the colors would remain the same. Mr. Demetriou stated they would. Mr. McCarthy asked if there were any public comments. There were no comments. The Board feels there is enough information for the applicant to submit an application for a building permit. 6) Approval ofMinutes April 24, 2 0 1 3 The Board approved the minutes for April 24, 2013 with a minor amendment.

Present: Sean McCarthy (Village of Sleepy Hollow/Building Department) Krista Callaghan Also Present: Mary Gerlanc [Recording Secretary) Announcements • There were no announcements. Proposed Agenda: 1) 2) 3) 4) Laurentino Rodrigues eras Real Estate El Mirador Cuencano Approval of Minutes 1 ) Laurentino Rodrigues 1 7 2 Valley Street 3 8 Beekman Avenue 5 6 - 6 0 Clinton Street 1 7 2 Valley Street Continued Continued Continued March 2 7 , 2 0 1 3 Continued Laurentino Rodrigues, property owner, and William Simeoforides, architect represented this application, which is for a 3-story mixed-use building. Mr. Simeoforides stated the changes to the plan: • The base of the building. • The roofline. • The windows now line up with the entrance. • The openings into the garage. • The glass in the commercial portion of the building. • The "legs" for the tower portion are thicker in dimension. • A new circular window at the top of the tower. • More detail added around the windows. • Added brick to the base and extended it around the corner to the Depeyster street side of the building where it intersects the residential portion of the building. • The stairway to the second floor of the residential side of the building has been enclosed. • The roof material will be shingle. �• • • The upper part of the building will be stucco. There will be two colors of stucco. The building has been lowered a foot to accommodate the ramp. The front entrance on Valley Street has moved slightly. Sean McCarthy asked the width of the sidewalk on the Depeyster Street side. Mr. Simeoforides stated the sidewalk is 6 feet wide but the wall protrudes out onto the sidewalk. When the new wall is built on the property line, the sidewalk will become wider. Mr. McCarthy asked about a planting strip along that wall to break up the impervious surface. The applicant needs to check on the accuracy of the property line. Mr. McCarthy stated according to Village Code, the sidewalk has to be a minimum of four feet and at least three feet around obstructions. He also stated the applicant should match the sidewalk width to the sidewalk in front of the adjoining property. The Board feels a planting strip would be good for this property. Discussion ensued about the "green" space along the wall and what could be planted. Sean McCarthy asked about the roof pitch and what would be up in that area. Mr. Simeoforides stated it was 7/12 and would contain the mechanicals in that space such as air handlers. It would be used as utility space. Mr. Simeoforides stated that the windows would be aluminum and all operable except for the lower commercial storefront window and the circular window in the tower. He also stated the applicant would be installing black, wrought iron square grilles on the openings for the parking area. The gate would also be wrought iron. The gate on Depeyster would be a tubular rail. Sean McCarthy asked about the need for a gate to the parking area. He recommended the applicant install cameras inside the garage and outside the building that could be connected to the police department for better security. Discussion ensued about the gate and wrought iron openings to the parking area. The Board feels a lower wrought iron rail would be better. Krista Callaghan stated it should be more decorative and there should be some down lighting to illuminate the area. Mr. Simeoforides stated if there was no gate needed then a smaller wrought iron rail with some plantings might look better. Sean McCarthy suggested an automatic gate with a motion sensor and a timer that could be set so it wouldn't open at certain times. The gate should be functional and open during business hours. Mr. McCarthy stated the maximum height of a fence for a commercial space is six feet high but he suggested the applicant construct something that is aesthetically pleasing and has planting along it. A low wall or a planter with wrought iron on top of it that is not higher than four feet. Krista Callaghan stated they could incorporate a decorative lighting fixture on the brick columns to make it a more pedestrian friendly sidewalk. Mr. McCarthy stated the lighting should be down light and have a shield so it doesn't extend in to the street. Architectural Review Board Meeting, April 24, 2013 - APPROVED 4 �Krista Callaghan commended the architect for listening to the Board's recommendations and making changes to the plan. Sean McCarthy asked about the height of the tower. Mr. Simeoforides stated he had lowered the height to 33 feet at the top of the tower. Krista Callaghan asked about the horizontal and vertical lines at the end of the building. Mr. Simeoforides stated they were surface lines, faux lines. Krista Callaghan asked if the brick on the building was on one plane and if the section of the tower was set back. She asked if the applicant could treat the commercial portion of the building as one piece to break up the look of the building no matter if they were using brick or stucco. Discussion ensued about materials for the building. Jose Chevere, 70 Depeyster Street lives right across the street from the property in this application. His concern regarding this application is that the architecture is not similar to any other home in the area. He also stated that he would be looking at the height of the 33foot tall tower, which is directly across from his property. Sean McCarthy asked the architect if there was an aesthetic way to lessen the impact of the tall building to the neighborhood. Discussion ensued. William Simeoforides suggested they could put in a planting bed with trees and shrubs however their issue is the slope of the property. Krista Callaghan asked if there were some way to scale the details of the tower to make it more residential in scale. William Simeoforides stated the width of the tower was 12 feet across which is not a large commercial space. Discussion ensued about the side of the tower and the commercial space. Jose Chevere asked what the tower would be used for. William Simeoforides stated the second floor on Valley Street is a commercial space that is open to the first floor and the third floor in the tower is office space. Sean McCarthy asked the architect if he checked the Building Code regarding the proposed circular staircase to the upper level. He stated the applicant would not be able to use that space as an office if it doesn't meet the egress requirements plus the window does not open. Krista Callaghan stated if that space couldn't be used according to Village Code then the whole tower should be lowered slightly. Mr. McCarthy stated the applicant could have a focal point for their plan but he suggested they try another design. Discussion ensued regarding the roof styles. Sean McCarthy stated the applicant needed to present a true roof style to be approved. He also suggested making the commercial space including the tower all brick to make it special and set it apart from the stucco area of the building. Mr. McCarthy stated the applicant should construct a well planned out building that takes into account the benefits to the applicant versus the detriments to the neighborhood. Architectural Review Board Meeting, April 24, 2013 - APPROVED 4 �Sean McCarthy suggested an awning over the window of the commercial portion. Krista Callaghan asked about the scale of the openings of the windows being in proportion to the size of the tower. Mr. McCarthy asked the applicant to modify the mass of the tower and consider using brick as the material for the tower space and stucco for the center portion of the building. Mr. McCarthy stated that the architect should make color recommendations for the stucco and the brick. He suggested they choose a color other than beige, since there are so many buildings in the area the same color. The applicant needs to provide the Board with samples of all the colors and materials for the project. Sean McCarthy suggested the applicant construct a metal roof on the tower instead of shingles. Krista Callaghan stated she was glad the applicant had enclosed the entr)Avay to the residential area of the building. She asked the architect to review the horizontal element and the windows next to the entr5way. Sean McCarthy asked for detail over the residential entryway. Discussion ensued. Mr. McCarthy asked for a better landscape plan with a list of plants for the plaza. He also asked if it was necessary to have a fence on top of the wall in the courtyard. There was discussion about the height of the fence. Sean suggested a 3-foot fence and some plantings Krista Callaghan suggested they add lighting to the columns in the courtyard. Mr. McCarthy stated the applicant should make changes to the plan and send them to the Board before the next meeting. 2) Gras Real Estate 38 Beekman Avenue Continued The applicant did not appear for this application, which was a continuation of a proposal for a new sign. Based on information submitted, the Board stated the applicant should put together a complete set of drawings and the location for the proposed sign. The applicant should revisit the comments previously made by the Board at the November 2 0 1 2 meeting. The Board will also ask the applicant to remove the current signage. 3) El Mirador Cuencano 56-60 Clinton Street New Application Janet Mendia represented this application for a new sign along with Laurentino Rodrigues, owner of the building. The tenant for this space had already installed a new sign without approval from the Architectural Review Board. Sean McCarthy asked what material the sign was made from. Mr. Rodrigues stated it was plastic. Mr. McCarthy stated that material was not allowed and the phone number was also Architectural Review Board Meeting, April 24, 2013 - APPROVED 4 �not allowed on the sign according to Village Code. He asked if there were any other signs in the window. Ms. Mendia said there were no other signs. Mr. Rodrigues stated the tenant moved in in December and the store opened in January 2013. Sean McCarthy asked the term of the lease. Mr. Rodrigues stated it was a 10-year lease. The Board stated the sign was put into an existing sign box without permission. Sean McCarthy suggested they would accept this sign as installed with conditions. Mr. Rodrigues as building owner was responsible for installing and filing a permit for an approved sign if the tenant changes, the sign breaks or the business name changes. These conditions would be attached to this property for future reference. A new sign would then have to be installed with the Board's approval. Sean McCarthy asked if there were any public comments. There were none. 4) Approval of Minutes March 27. 2013 The Board approved the minutes as amended for March 27, 2 0 1 3 The meeting was adjourned at 9:30pm.

The applicant is looking to renovate the existing service station at this location. This application has received site plan approval. Chris Gent stated the applicant would like to use JamesHardie Heathered Moss or Sailcloth color with anodized bronze storefront, white trim and a weathered wood roof. Krista Callaghan asked if the trim would be white-white or off-white. Mr. Gent stated the trim would be a PVC material in white so they would not have to repaint the trim. The only �color the PVC trim comes in is a true white color. The applicant showed drawings of the building from different elevations so the Board could see how much of each material would be used. Chris Gent stated they would like to maximize the glass used for the space. He also stated the color of the awning has not been determined. It could depend on their partnership with Dunkin Donuts. Chris Gent stated it would be a standing seam, maintenance free, metal awning, Krista Callaghan asked if the Food Mart sign on the front of the building would also include the Mobil logo. Scott Parker stated that the store sign would not be Mobil. The applicant showed the canopy with a two-thirds blue color and one-third white color with new Mobil graphics on it. The Mobil logo will be on the canopy, the gas dispensers and the main id sign on the street. Krista Caltaghan asked if there was some way they could tie the store sign and the Mobil sign to each other. Chris Gent stated their company was changing the corporate identity and that decision would determine how they could make the signs more inclusive. Chris Gent indicated that they are proposing a linear LED downlight fixture over the front sign. He also stated all the lighting would be LED fixtures inside and outside including recessed LED lights in the exterior soffit. Sean McCarthy asked about the canopy for the Mobil sign. Scott Parker stated that the canopy does block the sign from the street so they would like also like to put a sign at street level. Discussion ensued regarding signage for the building and the gas pumps. Krista Callaghan asked about the width of the pilasters. She felt they should maximize the glass but also make the pilasters thicker from a proportion standpoint. Discussion ensued regarding using siding or trim around the glass. The Board felt the trim or siding should be thicker. Sean McCarthy suggested they make the corner trim wider. Scott Parker agreed they could widen the corner and use a flat trim around the door. Krista Callaghan asked about the material for the trim around the awning. Chris Gent stated the PVC trim would go across the front of the building and the awning is a separate unit that comes down over the trim and there would be a gutter on the front of the building. Discussion ensued regarding the use of white PVC trim or bronze storefront on the building. The applicant will be using anodized bronze "storefront" across the front of the building, Krista Callaghan asked about the fixture plan for the interior of the store. Chris Gent stated the ceiling would be Armstrong (Dune- color) that looks like 2x4 wood with LED lighting. The applicant showed samples of paint colors for the inside of the store and Formica chips. They also showed cabinetry; countertop and trim materials including the FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) for the bathroom and the applicant stated the bathroom tile would be 12x12 porcelain, color-through Daltile. Architectural Review Board Meeting, March 27, 2013 - APPROVED 5 �Krista Callaghan asked about the shelving layout for the interior. Scott Parker showed the transaction area and stated the casework would be finished on the window side. All the wiring would come up underneath the counters. There are no big displays against the windows. There are walk-in coolers across that back that have a black finish and all LED lighting on the inside. Krista Callaghan asked if they would come for sign approval once the company decides on a new corporate identity. Chris Gent stated they would adhere to the Village's sign policy and let the Building Department know the new company name. Sean McCarthy stated they need to incorporate the building number so it could be seen from the street. The applicant would be using Ivy Green color awning unless Dunkin Donuts partners with them and then the awning color may change. Scott Parker asked about the Mobil sign on the street. Sean McCarthy asked if it would be a digital sign. Mr. Parker stated they would like to use an LED digital sign so they could change the prices. According to Westchester County law they have to show both the cash and the credit prices. Scott Parker stated they would only list 4 prices on the sign. Chris Gent stated the building would have a transfer switch for a generator. Sean McCarthy asked about the overall height for the sign. Scott Parker stated their minimum standard is 17 feet but they would adhere to the code. They try to keep the sign at least seven feet above the ground so it doesn't affect the sightline from the street. Sean McCarthy asked if the sign was cantilevered. Scott Parker stated it was a one-pole sign and it would be standard white tubular steel pole. The box for the sign would be internally lit plastic box. Scott Parker asked the Board about using a backlit LED sign for the front of the building. Krista Callaghan asked the applicant to show an example of that type of sign. Sean McCarthy suggested they use a single price number for only two types of gas. Scott Parker stated they usually have to show two products and cash/credit prices for both and they would have to speak with Mobil if the Board does not approve that sign. Krista Callaghan asked about the clearance height from the ground to the bottom of the sign. Scott Parker stated they would have to see if they could get all the information they need on the size of the sign that's allowed. They feel it is important to get the food mart/coffee shop/Dunkin Donuts on the sign as well as the gas information. Scott Parker asked about having a full LED panel that switches back and forth between prices. Sean McCarthy asked if it was dual-sided. The applicant agreed and stated the sign is perpendicular to the street. Krista Callaghan asked if the Mobil sign on the canopy would be lit. Scott Parker stated that Mobil would like their name lit. He also stated the sign has an automatic light sensor so the LED lighting dims itself but it can also be dimmed manually. Ms. Callaghan asked if the Mobil letters were individual letters. Scott Parker stated the letters are individual and Architectural Review Board Meeting, March 27, 2 0 1 3 - APPROVED 5 �raised with a box behind them. He also stated if the letters need to be flat they can cut into the back panel and recess them. The Board felt the letters should be flush with the canopy. Scott Parker stated they would do a new wrap on the canopy. Sean McCarthy asked about the privacy fencing. The applicant planned on using 6 foot stockade fencing on the side and the back wall. The Board suggested that the natural wood fencing should be painted to match the siding color except for the fencing on the residential side, which can remain the natural color. Sean McCarthy asked about the guardrail along the right side of the property. The Board asked the applicant to take it down since it is in deteriorated condition. Sean McCarthy asked if the public had any comments. There were no public comments. He stated there was enough information for the applicant to move forward for a building permit based on making the changes discussed. 3 ) Cras Real Estate 3 8 Beekman Avenue Continued The applicant did not appear for this application, which was a continuation of a proposal for a new sign. Based on information submitted, the Board stated the applicant should put together a complete set of drawings and the location for the proposed sign. The applicant should revisit the comments previously made by the Board at the November 2012 meeting. The Board will also ask the applicant to remove the current signage. 4 ) The Salvation Army of Greater New York 9 0 Valley Street New application Matthew Schappert represented the application. He stated the plans were for a new chapel and a multi-purpose room, various administrative offices and classrooms. Sean McCarthy stated this application was currently before the Planning Board and they would have a public hearing next month. The applicant had received variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Schappert stated the applicant typically used conservative, traditional materials such as brick, standing seam metal roof, clear anodized storefront. He showed drawings to the Board. He stated the site is currently 1 0 0 % paved and while they are adding parking, they are also trying to add landscaping. Mr. Schappert stated the applicant had received approval to landbank some parking to gain more green space. They have incorporated planter beds that work as a filtration system for the roof runoff to flow into the storm sewage. They will hold plants that are suitable for wet environments. Architectural Review Board Meeting, March 27, 2 0 1 3 - APPROVED 5 �Mr. McCarthy asked if it would be a real brick building or a brick veneer. The Village's concern is with simulated brick material or stucco being used on the lower levels. Matthew Schappert stated their intent was to use real brick. Krista Callaghan asked about the roof color. Mr. Schappert stated it would be a dark gray roof. Sean McCarthy asked about the trim color. Mr. Schappert stated the trim would be a white or light color trim. Krista Callaghan asked about the brick detail over the window. Matthew Schappert stated they would be using "solder course" brick pattern to break up the facade of the building. Ms. Callaghan asked if it would be the same color brick. Mr. Schappert agreed. Krista Callaghan asked about the site plan and the parking on the corner of Wildey and Valley Streets. Mr. Schappert stated they wanted to free up the corner of Wildey and Valley streets for building because a portion ofthat property lies in Tarrytown and it would be difficult to construct a building in two municipalities. He also stated the existing building would be able to function while the new building is being constructed and those are reasons how the site was situated. Mr. Schappert stated they would install landscaping to obscure the parking at that corner. Sean McCarthy asked if it was a metal (simulated wrought iron) aluminum fence on that corner. Mr. Schappert stated that evergreen shrubs would cover most of the fence. Mr. McCarthy asked the overall height of the building. Mr. Schappert stated the highest point was 3 7 feet high. The lowest portion was 27 feet. Mr. McCarthy asked if the signage shown was the only signage proposed. Mr. Schappert stated they would submit signage separately but typically they would have a sign with individual letters and their shield and incorporate a cross, possibly three feet high. Sean McCarthy asked about the "rose" window. Mr. Schappert stated it would be glass. Mr. McCarthy asked if the rest of the windows would have aluminum clear anodized finish. Mr. Schappert stated he had not specified the exact window but it would correlate to the storefront finish. He also stated that the applicant wanted to put security mesh on the chapel windows. The Board suggested the applicant install site security cameras with a direct link to the police department if they felt there was a security issue. Krista Callaghan asked about the "pop-outs" on the building. Mr. Schappert stated no more than four inches. Ms. Callaghan asked if there was a way to break out the length of windows on the long facade. Mr. Schappert stated he could possibly do a narrower window to set it apart. Sean McCarthy asked if the chapel doors were aluminum. Mr. Schappert stated they were. Mr. McCarthy asked the applicant to put the building number on the signage. Mr. Schappert showed the ADA entrance. Sean McCarthy asked about the finish on the ramp surface. Mr. Schappert stated it was concrete but he could give it a coating so it had a texture. Sean Architectural Review Board Meeting, March 27, 2013 - APPROVED 5 �McCarthy suggested they not use bare concrete if it is the main entrance. Mr. Schappert stated he would like to give it a color to complement the brick. Sean McCarthy asked about the railings. Mr. Schappert stated they were pipe railings. Mr. McCarthy asked if the gutters, leaders and downspouts were aluminum and box style. Mr. Schappert agreed. Sean McCarthy asked if there were any comments from the public. There were no comments. Mr. McCarthy stated there was enough information for the applicant to mover forward for a building permit, 5) El Mirador Cuencano 5 6 - 6 0 Clinton Street New Application The applicant did not show for this application.

Present: Sean McCarthy (Village of Sleepy Hollow/Building Department) Krista Callaghan Also Present: Mary Gerlanc (Recording Secretary) Announcements - There were no announcements. Proposed Agenda: 1) 2) 3) 4) Philipse Manor Beach Club Laurentino Rodrigues El Mirador Cuencano Approval of Minutes 1) Philipse Manor Beach Club Riverside Drive 172 Valley Street 56-60 Clinton Street New Application New Application New Application January 23, 2 0 1 3 Riverside Drive New Application Tom Andruss, president of the Philipse Manor Beach Club and Frank Tancredi, architect, and George O'Reilly, contractor, represented this application. Frank Tancredi stated the applicant is proposing to create a permanent structure for bathroom facilities to take the place of the current porta-san facility. Mr. Tancredi gave an overview of the project. He showed plans for the bathroom facility with a changing room in the middle. There will be a 1500-gallon holding tank underground that will be pumped out periodically. Skip's place, which is a white concrete block structure, would get new roof, new windows, a new door and stone veneer on three sides of the building. The main structure would be built out of a split face block. The lower band would be thin stone veneer and architectural shingles. He stated the inspiration was the style of the Sleepy Hollow Writer's Center on the opposite side of the train tracks. Architectural Review Board Meeting, February 25, 2 0 1 3 -APPROVED 1 �Mr. Tancredi described the new facility as having a Tudor-inspired style with earth-tone paint colors. The building would have a fiberglass door that looks like a plank-style door, Anderson windows with privacy glass for the rear windows. Sean McCarthy stated that the applicant had received site plan approval from the Planning Board. Mr. Tancredi stated the building would have a cupola used to vent the bathrooms. Sean McCarthy asked if the building was heated. Mr. Tancredi replied that it was not because it closes in late October. He also stated the building would become storage in the winter and the door locks will have a combination solar lock. Therefore the building automatically closes when the sun sets and the only way to enter after time is to have the combination for the keypad. Sean McCarthy asked if the solar lock has interior egress. The applicant replied that it does. Krista Callaghan asked if the paint colors for this facility would match the color of the Writer's Center. Mr. Tancredi replied that the truss and the timbers would be a darker brown and then a lighter paint color in between the timbers. And the concrete block and stone veneer are earth tone. Sean McCarthy asked about the roof. Mr. Tancredi stated the roof would be asphalt shingle in a brown color. Discussion ensued regarding the building material for the cupola and the detail being added to Skip's place. Krista Callaghan asked if the split face block was smooth or textured. Frank Tancredi stated it would be textured. He also said they would not be wrapping the veneer around the back of the building. There was discussion regarding how close the building was to the fence and the height of the fence. George O'Reilly asked if the Board would prefer the back corner wrapped to make the mortar joint invisible. Krista commented that it doesn't look like a veneer when the corner is wrapped. Sean McCarthy asked if the block on Skip's building would be painted or stucco. Mr. O'Reilly stated the block would be stucco but he could do a color or textured finish on the stucco. The Board suggested the stucco color match the color of the split face block. Sean McCarthy asked about the overhang on the building. The Board felt that the curved panel piece did not fit into the design, that maybe it could be a smaller truss. Mr. McCarthy asked if there were any public comments. There were none. The Board approved this application for a building permit based on the following: Architectural Review Board Meeting, February 25, 2 0 1 3 -APPROVED 2 �• • • • • The colors and materials of the new structure would match the style of the Writer's Center including the roofing and finishes. Everything is indicated on the plans and in addition the cupola will have a copper roof. The entryway over "Skip's Place" would be revised to have a timber truss-look. The existing concrete block on the rear elevation of Skip's Place would have a new stucco finish and match the color of the split face block on the proposed building. The stone face veneer will wrap around the corner at least 12 inches and be integrated with the stucco. The Board approved the plans as submitted with the suggested revisions. The applicant must revise the plans for their final submission and can move forward for a building permit. 2) Laurentino Rodrigues 172 Valley Street New Application William Simeoforides, architect, and Laurentino Rodrigues, owner, represented this application. Mr. Simeoforides stated this project was for a mixed-use building with 4 one-bedroom residential spaces and one commercial space. Mr. McCarthy asked if the Zoning and Planning Boards had approved the application. Mr. Rodrigues stated they had. Mr. Simeoforides gave an overview of the project. He indicated the commercial area on the plans, which has a three-story tower. The first floor is commercial space, the second floor is a private office and the third level "overlook", which is accessed by a spiral staircase. There are also two residential units on the second floor accessed by the same entrance as the commercial units. The parking area is off the Valley Street side of the property. There is a staircase that leads to an open porch and the entrances for two residential units on the Depeyster Street side. Each residential unit is 650 square feet. In addition there is a large courtyard. Mr. Simeoforides stated the roof would be a pitched roof except for the flat area between the tower and the residential section of the building. The roof would have architect-series shingles. The applicant is proposing a stucco finish with 4-feet high brick on the bottom. Mr. McCarthy asked about the building elevations on Valley Street. Discussion ensued regarding the elevations and how many steps and/or ramp would be required at the entrance. Architectural Review Board Meeting, February 25, 2 0 1 3 -APPROVED 3 �Sean McCarthy asked the ceiling height. Mr. Simeoforides stated it was 9 feet on the first floor. Mr. McCarthy suggested dropping the floor down and make the ceiling higher so that there would be fewer steps to enter the commercial space. The applicant stated he wanted brick on the bottom of the building. Mr. McCarthy agreed the brick would be better than stucco. Sean McCarthy stated he felt the whole building doesn't read as one building and part of that might be the misalignment of the different levels of the plan. He felt the garage space was not lining up with the rest of the building. There was discussion regarding opening up the garage space and making the base of the building relate to the upper part of the building. Krista Callaghan also suggested differentiating between living room and bedroom spaces with different sized windows. Sean McCarthy asked why the applicant choose to organize the residential space as two units on each floor instead of duplex apartments. He inquired if the building code required an elevator for four units. Mr. Simeoforides asked if it was number of units or height that was the requirement for an elevator. Mr. McCarthy stated it was number of units but the applicant should check on that requirement. Discussion ensued regarding duplex apartments versus one-bedroom units. The Board reviewed the Depeyster Street elevations. Sean McCarthy suggested separate entrances for each apartment off the courtyard instead of a shared entrance. Mr. Simeoforides stated they might be able to eliminate the outdoor staircase without losing the number of units, but he needs to check on the requirements for an elevator. William Simeoforides asked the Board if the plan remains the same, is the main concern tying together the different parts of the building. The Board agreed. Krista Callaghan stated that the proportions of the tower and the columns for the tower are too narrow. Mr. McCarthy asked if the tower should have more glazing. Krista Callaghan agreed that the tower is a unique space and could have more or different glazing at the top portion of the tower to make it special. Sean McCarthy suggested a triple window on the tower to differentiate the tower portion from the other commercial space. Discussion ensued about glazing and materials for the tower space. Krista Callaghan asked about the entrance steps to the commercial space. Mr. Simeoforides stated he would lower the floor space, lessen the number of steps and put in a ramp to make it accessible. Architectural Review Board Meeting, February 25, 2 0 1 3 -APPROVED 4 �Mr. Rodrigues asked about the windows for the first floor commercial space. Sean McCarthy thought it would be better to have more glass on a lower level. Krista Callaghan agreed. Sean McCarthy asked how the residents get from the parking garage to their apartments. Discussion ensued about the entrance into the apartments from the garage. Mr. Simeoforides asked the Board about their comments regarding the material choices. Krista Callaghan suggested the applicant explore incorporating brick in other places on the structure, not just at the base. Sean McCarthy agreed that the brick should not just be at the base. He commented that the buildings nearby are all stucco and it would be too similar if this building were all stucco. He also stated the applicant should look at doing more brick on the garage level. Sean McCarthy asked what they were proposing for the openings in the garage area. Mr. Simeoforides stated they were thinking of using flat, aluminum grilles to get light and air into the garage area. Krista Callaghan asked if it was necessary to have a grid or could it just be an opening. Sean McCarthy asked if the applicant was installing a door to the garage. Mr. Rodrigues stated he would install a gate that would slide open. He felt the gate was needed for security purposes. Sean McCarthy informed the applicant the Board needs to know the dimensions, style and materials for the gate. He also asked about the size of the parking spaces in the garage. Mr. Simeoforides stated the spaces would be 18 feet deep. Discussion ensued regarding the size and configuration of the parking spaces. Sean McCarthy asked about the roof styles for the different sections of the building and possibly doing different styles. Discussion ensued regarding the pitch of the roof. Sean McCarthy asked about the wall along the sidewalk on Depeyster Street. William Simeoforides stated the current wall was at the sidewalk level and the new courtyard will be raised above that with a concrete retaining wall faced with stone or stucco. Discussion ensued regarding the materials for the wall. Mr. Simeoforides stated the applicant only wanted to remove part of an existing wall along the sidewalk. Sean McCarthy asked how high the fence would be on top of the wall. William Simeoforides stated it would be six feet high. Mr. McCarthy asked about the dimensions of the wall and the fence surrounding the courtyard. Discussion ensued. Mr. McCarthy asked if the applicant was proposing stone on the face of the wall. Mr. Rodrigues replied they would do concrete. Sean McCarthy asked if there were any plantings between the sidewalk and the wall. Mr. Rodrigues stated there were no plantings because of the concrete. Architectural Review Board Meeting, February 25, 2 0 1 3 -APPROVED 5 �Mr. Rodrigues said he could do brick on the face of the wall. Mr. McCarthy says the applicant has to look at the overall composition of the materials for the building in order to make the determination for the wall on Depeyster Street. He felt the wall material should be something other than concrete. He also suggested there be three steps in the rear of the commercial building in order to fill the composition of the facade. Sean McCarthy asked what material is being used on the residential portion of the building on Depeyster Street. William Simeoforides stated it would be stucco with siding in the two gables. Discussion ensued regarding the materials to be used on the rear residential area. They also discussed the pitch of the roof. Mr. McCarthy stated the Board would review plans if the applicant changed the roofline. The Board reviewed the entrance to the residential apartments on Depeyster Street. Krista Callaghan asked if they had thought to enclose the porch. Sean McCarthy asked if they would see the trusses. Mr. Simeoforides is proposing exposed timbers that are painted. Krista Callaghan was concerned about the maintenance of the exposed porch and possibly having tenants hang rugs and keep garbage in that area. Mr. McCarthy stated it was another architectural feature that is different from the rest of the building and is not associated with the rest of the design. Discussion ensued regarding closing the open porch area. The Board feels the applicant should re-address that open entrance space to the apartments. Mr. McCarthy stated the current plan looks like the back of a house instead of the entrance, which should look more important. Krista Callaghan asked if the applicant thought about materials and plantings for the courtyard. Mr. Simeoforides showed a beginning layout for the courtyard. Mr. Rodrigues suggested four feet high of concrete on one side. Mr. Simeoforides suggested a 30-inch high planter, the same level as the back and front wall of the courtyard. Ms. Callaghan asked what was the drop below for that section of the courtyard. Mr. Simeoforides stated it was 11 or 12 feet. Ms. Callaghan asked if they were going to have a safety railing. The applicant agreed. Discussion ensued regarding materials for the wall in the courtyard and the planters. Sean McCarthy suggested the applicant show less impervious area and more plantings throughout. He also suggested they think about the drainage for the courtyard. Krista Callaghan asked the applicant to provide a list of plantings, how they would be planted and what kind of lighting would be in this area. Sean McCarthy suggested the applicant incorporate trees into the courtyard. Architectural Review Board Meeting, February 25, 2 0 1 3 -APPROVED 6 �Mr. Simeoforides asked if the planting selections were required for a permit or for the Architectural Review Board. Sean McCarthy stated they were required for both because the plantings and the structures for the plantings have to be incorporated into the plans for the engineer. He stated the applicant should look at the rest of the plans for landscaping because there is too much solid pavement and there should be areas that the residents can enjoy. Ms. Callaghan also suggested using different planters other than big, raised boxes. Mr. McCarthy asked if the applicant would provide an area for bicycle racks. He suggested they make that an element in the landscape design. Mr. McCarthy stated the applicant must show where the garbage would be located and what that area would look like. It must be large enough for both the garbage and recycle bins. It should not be seen and be protected from any animals. Krista Callaghan suggested they carve out an area for the cans near the enclosed entrance space. Sean McCarthy suggested an area in a corner that might work for the garbage. Krista Callaghan asked the applicant to provide paint chips and material samples for the design by the next meeting. Mr. McCarthy asked if there were any public comments regarding this application. There were none. 3) El Mirador Cuencano 56-60 Clinton Street New Application The applicant did not show for this application. 4) Approval of Minutes January 23, 2 0 1 3 The Board approved the minutes for January 23, 2013.

Mr. McCarthy stated the Board did receive the mailings that notice was given to the other property owners. He stated that this was an application for a portable sign. The Board viewed a photo of the proposed sign. Mr. McCarthy read a response received from Rob Solari, owner of this property, regarding the placement of the sign, style and size of lettering for the proposed sign. Mr. Solari wrote that the letter style would be bold and the sign has no borders, no graphics, and no logos. The sign is a plastic black frame, 43-inches high and 26-inches wide. All letters are plastic, 5-inches in height with one-inch spacing. The sign will not be lit. The sign will be �placed on the property. Mr. Solari stated it is a portable sign that can be taken in and out every day. Maria Solari stated the biggest reason for this type of sign is that they cannot just put the name of the business on the sign because it does not tell the customer what kind of business it is. Mr. McCarthy asked the name of the business. Mirella McNulty stated the business name was the New York Refinery. The applicant stated the name alone would not let customers know they could sell gold at this business. The applicant is upset that they have not had any gold sales since the portable sign has been taken off the property. Mr. McCarthy stated the Village is not saying this business cannot have a sign. He stated the Board is abiding by the Village of Sleepy Hollow sign ordinance, which states how many signs can be on a property, the types and styles of signs and where they can be placed. He stated the sign the applicant is proposing presents a problem. Mr. McCarthy stated this sign was teetering on top of the wall on the property for a while. The Village requested it be removed. Mr. McCarthy stated the Village could be sued if someone walked by and was hit by the sign. Discussion ensued about various municipalities and their sign ordinances. Mr. McCarthy stated the applicant should create a sign that is more desirable and abides by the sign ordinance. Mirella McNulty, who works in the New York Refinery, asked if the applicant could propose the creation of a Village ordinance to allow a "sandwich sign" that could be placed on the sidewalk but conform to approved specifications and dimensions. Mr. McCarthy agreed that the applicant could submit a proposal to amend the sign ordinance. Maria Solari stated that the property owner could not afford to replace the $9600 sign that already was approved and installed at 38 Beekman Avenue. She stated the current sign does not help business. Maria Solari stated the sign does not work because it cannot be read from far away. She also stated the business name alone does not bring in business. The $200 portable sign has brought in all the business. Discussion ensued regarding the location of a sign on the sidewalk. Sean McCarthy stated neither the Architectural Review Board nor the Building Department have the right to authorize the placement of a sign on any Village sidewalk. He stated the applicant would have to appeal to the Board of Trustees to get a licensing agreement to place a Architectural Review Board Meeting, November 28, 2 0 1 2 - APPROVED 2 �sign on the sidewalk. Mr. McCarthy stated the applicant would need indemnification and insurance in case of any accidents. Mr. McCarthy stated it is a constant enforcement issue to keep these signs off the sidewalks and the Board appreciated the applicant coming before the Board and trying to get approval for a sign. However, he stated it was the consensus of the Architectural Review Board that a plastic sign with removable letters is not appropriate for a building the applicant has spent money fixing. Krista Callaghan stated that when she received this application, she read the Village Code pertaining to signs. Based on the Village Code and the Downtown Revitalization Design Guidelines she did not feel the sign fit in. Discussion ensued regarding other businesses on Beekman Avenue and the buildings and signs that had been redone and approved by the Board. Maria Solari asked what kind of sign the Board would allow. Sean McCarthy stated the Board would allow a sign that was more appropriate in materials and design and was a more permanent solution then a portable, plastic sign. He also stated the Board would allow the applicant to have a temporary sign while they make a more permanent solution. Rosalyn Ferrera asked if the sign could be A-frame sign that the property owner could stand on their wall. Sean McCarthy suggested the applicant redo their building directory. Maria Solari stated Rob Solari would not put any more money into the directory because it was not descriptive of the business. Krista Callaghan stated that Village code did not permit businesses to advertise their services on a sign. She also stated that the applicant had a neon sign on the property window. Maria Solari stated they had a building permit for that neon sign. Sean McCarthy stated that the permit was granted for that additional sign to help the business advertise their services. Discussion ensued about neon signs on Beekman Avenue and how many are allowed per window. Maria Solari stated they have limited budget and are not going to be able to build on to their existing sign. Krista Callaghan stated that the applicant should put the name of the businesses in the building underneath the current sign on the property. She stated it should be presented as a legitimate business in that building. She also stated she drove into the parking lot and didn't know where the business was located in the building and not because the building is set back from the street. Architectural Review Board Meeting, November 28, 2 0 1 2 - APPROVED 3 �Maria Solari showed photos of the property and stated that the signs can't be read from the street. Sean McCarthy stated the applicant is allowed in addition to the directory, a large awning for Studio 38, signs above every business and signs in the windows. Sean McCarthy stated the applicant has been permitted for the awning with the oversize lettering, which was not approved, and then a sign above every storefront and also signs in the windows and a directory sign. Maria Solari stated it should be the right of a business owner to have signs. Discussion ensued regarding the appropriateness of various types of signs. Mr. McCarthy stated the Village has already established guidelines for signs and the portable, plastic sign the applicant was using does not follow the guidelines. He stated the sign the applicant made several years ago kept to the guidelines. Maria Solari stated that sign was a waste of money because it does not work. It is not functional. Krista Callaghan asked if the other businesses on the property are doing well. Maria Solari stated it was hard to keep businesses on the property and one of the empty spaces has not been rented for three years. Discussion ensued. Sean McCarthy stated that the sign should not make or break the business. Maria Solari disagreed and stated that since their portable sign was not on the sidewalk they haven't had business in three weeks at New York Refinery. Sean McCarthy suggested the applicant add something to their current signs to advertise the business. Maria Solari stated no one would be able to read it. Sean McCarthy stated they could read the neon sign in the window. Rosalyn Ferrera stated the business is only open during the day so the neon sign cannot be seen. Sean McCarthy asked if the applicant could incorporate lighting on their sign. Rosalyn Ferrera asked if they would be allowed to do that. Mr. McCarthy and Ms. Callaghan said yes. Discussion ensued about rules and regulations regarding businesses. Sean McCarthy asked the applicant how many businesses were sharing one space. Maria Solar stated two businesses. Mr. McCarthy stated the Village has allowed this, which is a violation. He also stated the Village allowed the applicant to have a Gold sign, which was put up without a permit. He also stated the applicant put up their portable sign without a permit and the Village is trying to cooperate with the applicant. Discussion ensued about what the Village of Sleepy Hollow ordinances allow. Sean McCarthy stated that Village code says plastic lettering is not allowed on a sign. Krista Callaghan suggested the applicant should have come with pictures of signs the applicant has seen in other villages to show the Architectural Review Board some creative solutions besides the plastic sign they were using. Architectural Review Board Meeting, November 28, 2 0 1 2 - APPROVED 4 �Rosalyn Ferrara asked if the big objection to the plastic sign was its' location on the wall. Sean McCarthy stated the sign couldn't be on the wall. Discussion ensued about where the sign could be placed on the property. Rosalyn Ferrara asked if a different style A-frame sign could be placed on the approved area of the applicant's property. Sean McCarthy suggested the applicant do research on what other municipalities allow in terms of A-frame signs. Krista Callaghan suggested they keep in mind what kind of sign is already above the new one they need to design and how do they relate to each other without necessarily going to the same expense as the original sign. Mirella McNulty stated they found that a sign that has a white background with black lettering stands out the most. Discussion ensued about the A-frame style sign. Sean McCarthy stated this style sign has never been approved in the Village. He suggested the applicant design a sign that is the opposite of the colors they have already used. He suggested using gold paint instead of gold leafing. Mr. McCarthy also suggested hanging the sign underneath the one already in place. He stated the sign could have the name of the business and then the words "We Buy Gold" in six-inch letters underneath. He suggested using a gold background with black lettering that ties in with the applicant's original sign. He also suggested having spotlight installed to shine upon the sign and spotlight the gold. Mr. McCarthy stated the Village would allow the applicant to display their portable plastic sign while they come up with a compromise solution. Rosalyn Ferrera stated it was important for this business that the sign be descriptive and also the placement of the sign. Discussion ensued about the area the sign should be located and the landscaping of that area on the property. Sean McCarthy stated if the area was landscaped and the sign was there and it was lit then it would look finished. He stated that if the applicant used the parameters they already had in place, they could have a much bigger sign with bigger lettering. Currently, they have 5-inch lettering but they could go 6-inch or even 8-inch lettering to fill up the area. Rosalyn Ferrera asked if the Board had a problem with a white background for the sign. Krista Callaghan stated she had no problem with the lighter background that Mr. McCarthy suggested but it needs to be more consistent with the colors the applicant has already used. Mr. McCarthy suggested they use a gold background with a black border and blue or black lettering so it goes with what the applicant already has but still stands out. Krista Callaghan said the simplicity of stating "We Buy Gold" is all that people need to notice on the sign. Maria Solari asked if they could drill the sign into the wall. Architectural Review Board Meeting, November 28, 2 0 1 2 - APPROVED 5 �Sean McCarthy stated they would have to look at where the property line ends but they could if it was on their property. The sign would just have to be in an area that doesn't block the view of cars pulling in and out of the property. Discussion ensued about installing a sign that wouldn't be mobile. Krista Callaghan stated that even if the sign were drilled into the wall it should be consistent with the other signs on the property. Mr. McCarthy stated the sign couldn't take away room from a parking space. Maria Solari asked if it was possible to mount the sign on a wooden post on the wall located on the property. Sean McCarthy stated he would not recommend using wood because it wouldn't last very long. Maria Solari asked if they could use a black, iron post instead. Sean McCarthy agreed that was possible. Maria Solari asked for some time to get the new signage together. Mirella McNulty asked if Rob Solari could meet with Sean to discuss new ideas. Sean McCarthy agreed that Mr. Solari could meet with him and discuss possible scenarios for the sign. Discussion ensued about possible ideas or choices for signage and lighting for signage. Krista Callaghan asked if the business was open at night. Maria Solari said no. Rosalyn Ferrara stated that if the sign were lit, then people at night would also notice it. Sean McCarthy stated the Board could grant a 30-day temporary sign. Krista Callaghan stated that would get them through the holidays. Sean McCarthy suggested the temporary sign could stay until January 1st and the applicant should have an alternative proposal to show the Board by that date. He stated the Board could then grant another extension. Maria Solari asked if the temporary sign could be placed on bricks in another location in the parking lot. Mr. McCarthy stated they just couldn't block any parking spots. Mr. McCarthy also pointed out that portable signs must be maintained so if a storm arises then the owner must remove the sign. Maria Solari asked about the colors Mr. McCarthy suggested. He stated using gold as the background with dark blue or black lettering. Mr. McCarthy suggested starting with the size and location of the sign before the colors. He also suggested the applicant think about putting New York Refinery -We Buy Gold and then an emblem in the middle of the sign. Rosalyn Ferrara suggested a hand painted sign. Sean McCarthy suggested changing the shape of the sign from rectangle to an oval. The meeting was adjourned at 8:55pm.

Proposed Agenda: 1) Marcelo Poguio 2) Michael & Janet Pietsch 95 College Avenue 9 Birch Close Exterior alterations New Application 1) ) Marcelo Poguio 95 College Avenue Exterior alterations This was a continuation from a previous meeting. Sean McCarthy stated this was an application to convert a contractor's office to a grocery store. There were several issues before the Board last month regarding the storefront, doors, windows, cornices and signage. Mr. Steven Costa, engineer, and Steve Chester from Signs Inc. represented the applicant. Mr. Costa stated there is no change to the signs on the eastern exposure other than installing the signage over the existing doors. There will be stucco but as far as windows and doors, everything is existing. They will be putting a cornice detail around top as recommended. It will be made of stucco. Sean McCarthy asked about the color for the cornice detail. Mr. Costa said they would try and match the color of the stucco. Sean McCarthy had recommended at the September meeting that the cornice detail be a different color from the rest of the building. As for the College Avenue side of the building, they will be adding more glass. The dimension will be 27-inches to the sill. The slope of the street is 7-inches which has been taken into consideration �for the glass installation. They are putting as much glass as recommended. They will be using the same cornice detail around the top on this side of the building. Krista Callaghan asked about the score lines in the stucco that were discussed at last month's meeting. She stated she did not see them in the drawings and asked if they decided not to do this detail. Mr. Costa stated that there are already six breaks in the stucco on the side of the building. Krista Callaghan stated that the score lines would give some detail along the base and add some treatment to the stucco wall. Discussion ensued regarding adding detail and/or score lines to the stucco wall. Sean McCarthy asked how if they would build out this detail with Styrofoam or a harder material. Mr. Costa stated they would build it out of cement board. Krista Callaghan asked if they would return the detail around the side of the building or does it stop at the edge of the building. Mr. Costa asked how far they would like it to wrap around the building since that side of the building is brick or finished block. On the other side it would be different because there is a driveway that comes up. At the base of the driveway there will be plantings so that part of the wall will be masked. Further discussion ensued regarding the cornice detail and whether to wrap it around or how to finish the edge. Mr. Costa stated that they could do a metal edge to make a clean edge. The Board stated they would like to see some return detail on the cornices. Mr. McCarthy asked if they would be painting that side of the building. Mr. Costa replied yes they would. Krista Callaghan questioned what the clearance would be from the bottom of the awning to the sidewalk. Mr. Costa replied that there would be a 9-foot minimum to the lowest point. Krista Callaghan stated that proportionally it looked long and narrow. She asked what was the clearance for code. Sean McCarthy stated the Village Code does not permit less than 7-feet. Krista Callaghan asked if there was a way to gain an inch or two between the bottom of the sign and the awning, and from the top of the sign to the bottom of the cornice. Mr. Costa stated it would not be a problem getting at least two inches, although he is working with a fixed lintel height because they were garage doors. He stated there would be a reveal around the sign. Krista Callaghan also stated that in the drawing the sign is not located over the entrance. She asked if it would be centered over the door or on the building. Mr. Costa stated it would be centered on the canopy. Architectural Review Board Meeting,September26, 2012 - APPROVED 2 �Ms. Callaghan asked about the space on either side of the text on the awning. Discussion ensued. She also stated that in the previous month's meeting they had discussed getting rid of the canopy over the loading door to avoid confusion over people mistaking that door for an entrance. Sean McCarthy suggested keeping the awning but getting rid of the sign. Mr. Costa agreed that was what was decided. Discussion ensued. Mr. Costa stated the corner sign would be sufficient for traffic coming from Valley Street. Krista Callaghan asked if customers could enter the store where the bakery was located. Mr. Costa stated there would not be a sign over the bakery and customers would have to access the bakery through the main entrance. Mr. McCarthy asked about exterior lighting. Mr. Costa stated there would be lighting under the awning and over the doorways. Mr. McCarthy asked if the hanging sign would be lit. Mr. Costa said it would not be lit. Ms. Callaghan asked if the door would be aluminum color or the dark brown that was mentioned at last month's meeting. Mr. Costa stated the door color would be brown - an anodized aluminum finish. Discussion ensued regarding the brown color. They compared it to a bronze sample. Sean McCarthy asked if it was similar to the windows on the building. Mr. Costa said the door color would match the window color. Mr. McCarthy asked if the bakery door would be changed to match the aluminum front door. Mr. Costa said it would be a solid metal door. Discussion ensued about the bakery door. Mr. McCarthy stated the sign looks nice. He asked if the overall size is 3-ft x 5-ft and if it is made out of wood. Steve Chester stated the main sign would be carved and painted with imitation gold paint but would look nice. The other sign would not be carved but would be wood with vinyl graphics. Sean McCarthy stated the sign must have some dimension to it; either carved or raised lettering. Steve Chester was not aware of this requirement but said they would make the change and carve the sign. He stated the awning would be a burgundy Sunbrella material. Sean McCarthy stated they would need a certificate and documentation that it is a fire retardant material. Steve Chester stated that all the dimensions for width and height would be the same for all the signs. There would be a consistent projection. Mr. McCarthy asked what is the projection? Steve stated the height is 30-inches and the projection is 30-inches. Architectural Review Board Meeting,September26, 2012 - APPROVED 3 �Sean McCarthy stated the Building Dept. had received the new mechanical plans. He sated there is a 10-ton unit on the roof for the air-conditioning. He asked if the applicant knew how big it is and if it could be seen from the street. Mr. Costa stated it couldn't be seen from the street. Mr. McCarthy asked if could be seen from the College Avenue side. Mr. Costa said no. Sean McCarthy stated if it became visible for some reason, then the applicant would need to put some kind of screen in front of it. Mr. Costa stated they could position it so it was not visible from the street. Mr. McCarthy asked where the property line was on the western side of the building. He asked if it was where the parking lot begins and would the applicant try to close off that space and install a gate. Mr. Costa said that it was not their property. The building line is the property line on that side. Mr. McCarthy suggested they might be able to work out something with the adjacent neighbor so people cannot walk through the property that way or through items in that area. Mr. Costa stated they would make the offer to the neighbor. Mr. McCarthy asked if the vinyl fencing that is currently around the gas meters would remain. Mr. Costa stated the fencing would be replaced by landscaping. Sean McCarthy asked if there were any additional questions. He stated there was enough information to satisfy the conditions required. He asked if there were any comments from the public regarding this application. There were no comments. Based on the conditions and comments of the meeting, there was enough information to move forward and process the application for a building permit for exterior work on this property. 2) Michael & Janet Pietsch 9 Birch Close New Application Peter Cole, the architect for the homeowners, represented the application. Mr. Cole stated the applicants are proposing to renovate and upgrade some of the exterior finishes on a 1960's ranch house and introduce two new additions. One of the additions is a new portico in the front and the other is an expansion to the existing master bedroom in the back. He indicated the addition of the new foyer space and portico on the plans, as well as the expansion in the rear where the master bedroom is located, which takes advantage of the phenomenal views of the Hudson River. In addition, there are other renovations taking place at the same time. They are moving a few windows around, however most of the windows remain the way they are. The windows currently on the corners will move to the center of the house. They are also changing the exterior kitchen facade to incorporate more of the granite stone that's in the front by making a smaller opening and closing off a window. Architectural Review Board Meeting,September26, 2012 - APPROVED 4 �They will introduce some natural light through the front door by adding glass doors with a transom. Existing skylights will be kept. The corner windows are moved towards the centers of the rooms. On the south side, the house would be extended to give them a panoramic view of Haverstraw Bay. In the back where there are large picture windows, they will introduce more windows. The cable rail on the existing deck will be changed. It is currently 6-inches on center, which is not to current code so it will be redone. They will be adding sliding French doors on to the deck in an area where there is currently a window. They are also changing the siding, which is 9 or 10-inch shingles to 6-inch cedar perfection shingles. Sean McCarthy asked how the siding would be finished. Mr. Cole stated it would be pre-finished stained siding. Mr. McCarthy asked about the staircase. Mr. Cole stated the homeowners currently have a spiral staircase and they are changing to a regular staircase. Discussion ensued about the staircase. Peter Cole showed photographs of the view from the house. Sean McCarthy asked if the whole house would be resided. Mr. Cole said yes. Mr. Cole stated the only way onto the grounds would be off the deck and down the stairs. Mr. McCarthy asked if they are doing a new roof. Mr. Cole stated they would be keeping the roof but just extending in the back over the addition. Sean McCarthy asked if the roof would match. Mr. Cole said yes. Mr. McCarthy asked about the windows. Mr. Cole said the current windows are Anderson and will remain Anderson Mr. McCarthy said this application has to go before the Zoning Board because of an existing nonconformity. Discussion ensued about the variance. Mr. McCarthy stated that anytime there is a nonconforming lot and work is being done, the applicant must go before the Zoning Board. Sean McCarthy asked if the transom would have divided lights. Mr. Cole said yes however the front door would be full glass panels so the view can be seen all the way through the house. Krista Callaghan stated that it's nice to see through the door even though some of the windows already have that view. She asked about the material that would be used to match existing granite. Mr. Cole said the material was called Yonkers Granite and can still be obtained. Architectural Review Board Meeting,September26, 2012 - APPROVED 5 �He stated the columns would be too tall for the new proportions so the base would be stone and the columns would be foreshortened and a square shape.

Mr. Cole said they would do mitered corners. Mr. McCarthy asked about the casings around the windows. Mr. Cole stated they are doing 3-1/2 inch casings. Sean McCarthy and Krista Callaghan felt the proposal would be a nice improvement to the house. There were no comments from the public regarding the application at 9 Birch Close. Sean McCarthy stated there was enough information to move the application to building review subject to approval by the Zoning Board of Appeals. He felt there was no need for the applicant to return before the Architectural Review Board unless there were major changes to the plans. 3) Alci Tavaras 160 Depeyster Street Grocery Store They applied for permits to put an ATM sign and an Open sign on the door of the grocery store. They wanted to know the status of the approval. Sean McCarthy stated this application was not on the agenda to approve but asked Krista Callaghan if they could review this request. She agreed. Mr. Tavaras presented a drawing showing the location of the Open sign and the ATM sign. Sean McCarthy asked how big the ATM sign would be. The applicant was not sure of the dimensions. Mr. McCarthy stated they should take a photo of the sign and submit with the dimensions. He asked if the sign was illuminated. Mr. Tavaras said yes. Mr. McCarthy said they might not need Architectural Review Board approval; it depended on the size of the signs. He stated the code allowed one illuminated sign in each window, not in every pane but in each storefront side. He said the code stated the maximum size the sign could be. He suggested they give the Building Department a color picture of the sign with the measurements and where it would be placed and if it meets code criteria, then they do not need Architectural Review Board approval. Minutes were not approved at this meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 8:45pm.

Daniel Couto presented this application along with storeowners, Manuel and Maria Villa. The applicants were asked to make changes to the awning at the last meeting. The applicants stated they do not want to change their design because they don't want their sign to look like the existing awning on the building. Sean McCarthy stated that signs have to be uniform on the same building. He also asked to see a sample fabric for the awning. He asked the owners to show him the color they chose from the choices provided by Sunbrella, the manufacturer of the material for the awning. Since the awning is on village property it has to meet the specifications for fire retardant material. Mr. & Mrs. Villa agrees that the Sunbrella fabric color they choose is Forest Green. �Discussion ensued regarding the shape of the sign. The shape will dictate the size of the lettering. Krista Callaghan was shown the existing awning on the building and points out that the building won't look uniform if the shape of the new awning does not match what is already there. Sean McCarthy stated that the alternate proposal shows the size of the valance to be 12 inches and the lettering of the main description to be 10 inches. The Village does not recommend letter height to be over 6 inches maximum on an 8-inch valance. He told the applicants they would be allowed 10-inch high lettering only if they use the same style awning as the existing awning on the building. The applicants would like their sign to be different. Krista Callaghan stated that the existing building has character and for a consistent look the new awning has to match the same style as the other tenant's awning. Sean McCarthy said that the applicants would get approval if they go with the shed awning that has an 8 -inch valance with 6-inch lettering. If they choose a different direction the board cannot make the decision tonight because this is the first time the Board has seen the new sign plans. Sean McCarthy asked the Villas if they want to discuss and then come back later in the meeting with a decision. The matter was continued. 2) Rubin Marte 32 Kendall Avenue Replace fence Rosina Marte is the owner of the property and presented the application.

Rosina Marte stated that this new fence which will be in the front where the cars park. The fence would be solid, PVC vinyl . Photographs were shown to the board. This fence differed from the existing fence, which divides Rosina Marte's property from the neighbors. That fence is gazebo style, however both fences would be the same white color. The model number for the fence is V3215D-6. It will be white in color and a maximum of five feet in height. Rosina Marte requested permission to put lighting on the fence since this is a parking area. Sean McCarthy asked if there are any objections by the public regarding this application. There were no objections.

The applicant needs to submit certification that the material for the awning is fire retardant. 4) Servio Ramirez 139 Beekman Avenue New awning Daniel Couto and his assistant, Sandra Aceituno represented this application for a new awning. The design showed the color and graphic for the awning. The applicant had changed the color of awning. Krista Callaghan asked if the awning comes past where the molding is on the building. Daniel Couto stated he must cut the awning to go around the molding on the building because the landlord would not let them touch the building. Discussion ensued about the trim and molding on the building. Sean McCarthy suggested cutting the trim and not the awning. Krista Callaghan asked to see a color swatch for the awning. Architectural Review Board Meeting, September 26, 2012 - APPROVED 3 �The color chosen from the Sunbrella choices is Regatta, which is a dark blue fabric. Sean McCarthy asked if there were any objections or comments from the public regarding this application. Since there were no objections, he stated that there was enough information to process the application for a building permit. He told Mr. Couto to inform the owner that it will be part of the application to clean up the lighting that shines down on the awning. This would be included in the building permit. 1) Manuel Villa 110 Beekman Avenue Continuation Mr. & Mrs. Villa have made the decision to go with the shed style awning. Mr. Villa does not want the height to be too high. Approval of the application will consist of Forest Green Sunbrella fabric in the shed style awning to match the existing awning that is currently on the building.

The house was in a state of disrepair prior to it being purchased. They are doing a new roof, new siding, new porch, and new windows. Architectural Review Board Meeting, September 26, 2012 - APPROVED 4 �Discussion ensued regarding the renovation decisions for the property. The shed roof will stay the same. The proposed columns in the front will be 8 inches. They are replicating what was there before. They restored and replaced all arches in the front. A new railing system will be installed. New Anderson double hung builders windows will be installed. Sean McCarthy asked if the window would be divided light style. Kevin Donovan said the majority would be one-light, double-hung. The windows in the front of the house would all be the same height. Some in the back might be half height. (e.g. kitchen or bathroom). A sample of the new siding was shown. It will be yellow color. The new siding will be the same size as the old siding; horizontal clapboard with 4-5 inch exposure. Discussion ensued regarding capping the windows. Sean McCarthy recommended 3.5-inch cap around all the windows. He suggested using premanufactured-trim that wraps around the window and the siding butts into it. They also discussed corner boards; Mr. Donovan stated that 4-inch white corner boards will be installed throughout. Kevin Donovan said all new gutters and leaders and drainage would be installed. They are waiting for design of the drainage. They are going down to the existing structure on the outside. Sean McCarthy asked if any architectural details were exposed when the siding was taken off, especially at the top in the front of the house. The applicants hope to find something existing in order to break up the pattern on the front of the house and make it more of the period it was constructed. Sean McCarthy asked if shutters were going to be added. Discussion ensued on the color and style. Krista Callaghan suggested louvered shutters might fit the style of the house. Kevin Donovan and Joe Kelly said the shutters would be white. They stated the windows on the front of the house would definitely have shutters - the only exception might be the windows underneath the porch. They would have to see how that might look. Sean McCarthy asked about the foundations. The applicants stated that the foundation is all brick and they will be repointing it, not painting or covering it. The board agreed the renovations would be a big improvement to the property. Sean McCarthy asked if there were any objections or comments from the public. There were no objections. Architectural Review Board Meeting, September 26, 2012 - APPROVED 5 �The Board found there was enough information to process the application for a Building Permit. The applicants can proceed as planned with the project and keep the Architectural Review Board informed as to their progress. 7) Marcelo Poguio 95 College Avenue Exterior alterations Wilson Lima, the store manager and Kyle McGovern, lawyer for the applicant are representing this application. This application has received variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals and approval from the Planning Board to convert space from a former contractor headquarters to a supermarket. Discussion ensued regarding the design and color for the awning in the front of the store. Mr. Lima presented drawings that show the awning to be a burgundy color with white lettering. The building will be painted a yellow color with white "coin" detail on the sides of the building. There will be a plain, white door and no windows in the small loading area. The main entrance has two doors with windows on both sides of the doors. Mr. Lima stated that there would be flower plants in the front by the doors and maybe planters. Wilson Lima said he wants people to see a new building and not recognize it as the old auto-body building. There is an existing sign with simple lettering on it for the old auto body shop. The applicant would like to take down the old sign and replace with a sign in the same location for the grocery. The plans show the size of that sign to be 30 inches by 6 feet and made of aluminum. Kyle McGovern asked of what material the sign must be constructed. Mr. McCarthy stated the sign does not have to be made of wood, but can be a synthetic material. But the sign has to have dimension. Mr. McGovern asked if there was minimum or maximum on size. Mr. McCarthy stated if the building has 2 fronts, then it is allowed to have two signs; the village can make an exception for a hanging sign but they need to check on the size of the original sign. Krista Callaghan asked if the present sign was really 6 feet. Sean McCarthy stated if the existing sign is 6 feet then the village would allow the new sign to be replaced at the same size but using the same style, coloring and detail as on the main sign. He also asked if the font size would be the same as the main sign. Wilson Lima agreed to these recommendations. More discussion ensued regarding the size of the signs and the lettering on the signs. Architectural Review Board Meeting, September 26, 2012 - APPROVED 6 �Sean McCarthy suggested that they review the size of the lettering after they put an outline around the sign since the proportions of the lettering may change. He told them to send it to the Architectural Review Board once they have the proportions decided. Sean McCarthy also recommended that the applicant limit the amount of wording on the sign and possibly put the building number, which is 95, on the sign. Kyle McGovern stated that the applicant wanted to make final decisions so they would take the descriptions off the sign and add the number 95 to the awning on Cortlandt Street. Sean McCarthy agreed with that. Kyle McGovern asked if the awning on Valley Street also needed to include the building number. Krista Callaghan said that typically there is no signage over the loading area because people will misconstrue it for the entrance. Discussion ensued regarding where the awnings should be placed. Sean McCarthy suggested putting the awning closer to the entrance but not over the loading area and only putting identification on the Valley Street awning. Wilson Lima stated they wanted to make the sign on the pole a wood carved sign to match the design on the front awning and that they would eliminate the awning over the loading dock area. They also discussed the color and fabric choice for the awnings.. Kyle McGovern asked if there was concern about the fabric not being Sunbrella. Sean McCarthy showed him the color palette from Sunbrella. They decided on the burgundy color from the Sunbrella color choices. Sean McCarthy asked about the building material. He stated that some areas of the building have brick and some are concrete block. Wilson Lima stated they were going to stucco the front of the building and have the coins on the front. Marcelo Poguio, the applicant arrived for the meeting. He stated they were planning on putting stucco on the side of the building that fronts College Avenue. Krista Callaghan asked if there would be stucco on the Valley Street side of the building. Discussion ensued regarding the finish material for the building and the applicant decided to stucco the Valley Street side of the building along with the College Avenue side. Sean McCarthy mentioned that the Styrofoam stucco gets damaged very easily and does not hold up as well close to the ground. He suggested wire and cement style stucco. Marcelo Poguio agreed to use wire and cement to do the stucco portion of the building. Krista Callaghan asked about the amount of glass on the storefront and the height of the glass. The applicant stated the glass would be in four panels and the width of the metal between the panes was not as large as it appeared in the drawing. Architectural Review Board Meeting, September 26, 2012 - APPROVED 7 �Sean McCarthy told the applicants they could not go less than 24 inches from the bottom of the building. The applicant was concerned with cars hitting the glass so their plan showed 3 feet of concrete and five feet of glass. The Architectural Review Board expressed concerns regarding the drawing, which did not show the correct proportion of glass to building on the front entrance of the storefront. Mr. Lima had already ordered the glass and stated that the dimension area was 60 feet wide by 5 feet high. Discussion ensued about the measurements of the front of the building and the size of the walls and windows. Also discussed was how the glass was affected by the drop-ceiling. Sean McCarthy did not feel these dimensions and proportions were depicted property on the plan. Krista Callaghan asked to have the plan redrawn in order to give approval. The applicant was also asked about the sill detail for the window. Mr. Poguio said it would be stucco to match the building. There was discussion regarding the "coins" on the building. The applicant was asked if they would only be on the front of the building. Krista Callaghan stated that a cornice piece might give a more finished look to the building than the coins. Sean McCarthy was in agreement. He suggested it could be made from styrofoam and in a different color than the rest of the building. And the cornice treatment would need to be in proportion to the size of the sign. He also suggested adding a base detail to complement the design of the cornice. Krista Callaghan suggested the applicant add score lines for the expansion joints to give the stucco a relief. Wilson Lima asked if the Board wanted him to use that idea on the side of the building. Ms. Callaghan thought it would give the building a finished look and it would be a great presence on that corner. Kyle McGovern asked if these decisions had to go before the Planning Board again. Sean McCarthy stated the Architectural Review Board can approve these modifications to the plan and it does not have to go before the Planning Board. Krista Callaghan asked what color were the frames around the windows. Wilson Lima said they were aluminum. Krista thought they should be dark brown. Sean McCarthy agreed and suggested the door match with the darker color. Kyle McGovern asked if this was standard. Architectural Review Board Meeting, September 26, 2012 - APPROVED 8 �Sean McCarthy said yes. He also asked that they consider the lighting that goes around the building. Krista Callaghan asked if the trim around the existing windows on Valley Street was a darker color. Wilson Lima and Marcelo Poguio said yes. Sean McCarthy said it made sense to do a darker brown trim around the new windows since they would match the windows that will not be replaced. Krista Callaghan asked the applicants to provide drawings that show the Valley Street elevation. Kyle McGovern asked when was the next Architectural Review Board meeting. Sean McCarthy said they would meet the 4 Wednesday in October. He suggested the applicant send the new drawing to the ARB sooner so they can review. He asked if there were any other suggestions for the applicants. th Kyle McGovern asked what was needed as far as the awning. Sean McCarthy suggested the applicant have the architect communicate with the sign person to come up with an accurate drawing which also should depict the slope of College Avenue. He also suggested the applicant get a sample of the cornice treatment and tack it to the building to see how it would look. Marcelo Poguio asked if a permit could be issued for the interior work. Sean McCarthy said Mr. Poguio could move forward with a permit on the interior work. The applicant cannot touch anything that would affect the outside of the building until new drawings are corrected and received by the Architectural Review Board. He asked if there were objections from the public to the applicant working on the interiors - doing the mechanical, electrical and plumbing. There were no objections from the public. Sean McCarthy said this application would be continued until October. He asked the applicant to get the information requested prior to the meeting for review by the ARB. He also asked that the applicants provide brochures on any materials and lighting that will be used on the outside of the building. 8) M. Keegan 285 No. Broadway Exterior renovations Mr. Keegan was not present for this application. Mr. McCarthy and Ms. Callaghan discussed the application for exterior renovations on the existing building. Architectural Review Board Meeting, September 26, 2012 - APPROVED 9 �There will be a replacement of the sign that says "Mickey's Automotive". The directory sign will also be replaced in addition to the front and side awnings. Krista Callaghan asked if they are painting the building. Sean McCarthy said yes and they are going to repair the stucco. Krista Callaghan asked if the new signs would match. Sean McCarthy said they will mimic the old signs but not match exactly and there will be new lighting above the signs. Discussion ensued about adding a new sign to the top middle of the building. Sean McCarthy said the applicant would also be fixing the roof. Krista Callaghan thought they were good improvements to the building. She asked if the sign square footage was okay and if the replacement signs will be new. Sean McCarthy said one is a replacement sign and one is a new sign. There were no objections to this application. Mr. McCarthy stated there was enough information for the applicant to move forward and apply for a building permit. With no further business the meeting was adjourned at 9:45pm.
