Respectfully submitted, Angela Everett Deputy Village Clerk i 6 �336 i PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE VILLAGE OF SLEEPY HOLLOW PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, January 7, 1997 at 8:00 PM or soon thereafter at Village Hall, 28 Beekman Avenue, Sleepy Hollow, New York to consider amending Chapter 57 entitled "Vehicle & Traffic" Section 57-6 by adding alternate side parking on both sides of Spruce Street and amending Section 57-7 by erecting a 15 foot "No Parking" setback on both sides of Spruce Street from the intersection of New Broadway. i copy of proposed law is available in the office of the Village Clerk. 1 taxpayers, residents and parties in interest are entitled to be heard at said hearing. By Order of the Board of Trustees Angela Everett, Deputy Clerk Dated: December 23, 1996 i �WE THE UNDERSIGNED RESIDENTS OF SPRUCE STREET REQUEST THAT THE VILLAGE REVIEW AND ACT UPON THE FOLLOWING PROPOSALS. ! . In the interest of public safety, we request a 15 foot no parking set-back on both sides of Spruce Street, from New Broadway eastward. When vehicles are parked at the lower end of Spruce Street, it is impossible for drivers to see cross traffic on New Broadway. There have been two near misses at this intersection and the potential exists for a possible serious collision. Further, in winter when the street is snow covered, drivers must accelerate in order to negotiate the steep incline. Autos parked at the bottom of Spruce pose a hazard for those attempting to%climb the hill. 2. In order that Spruce Street be properly swept on the scheduled day of the week, we request that a four hour parking restriction be enacted for the entire hill. This would permit tHe'^STSfcmprtrr—lu upuiaxe witnout negotiating through an obstacle course of parked vehicles. 3. Some residents of Spruce Street recall an unwritten agreement, where-by all vehicles were removed from the street during snow storms. Not only did this arrangement facilitate the removal of snow, but also eliminated the . possibility of accidents between parked autos and Village equipment. Every residence on Spruce has adequate off street parking capability which should be utilized during snow storms. We propose that an ordinance be enacted, restricting parking on the hill whenever snow removal is necessary^. During the storms of l^ys, residents were forced tcTshovel^the sides of the street as parked cars prevented the plows from clearing the hill. We are sure that it is not the policy of this Administration to require residents (some in their 70s and 80s) to remove snow from a Village thoroughfare.

This system has been found to be an antiqued and expensive system to maintain. W e " suggest a meeting with the entire board and this council to further discuss this matter. Richard N.Gross,Sec Council I �34 I request that the following become part of the offical minutes of the January 7,1997 Village of Sleepy Hollow Board Meeting. My objective in appearing before this board was to clearify statements made by Mayor Sean Treacy in regrads to his handling of the position of Code Enforcement Officer.and the Mayors misrepresentation of my personal qualifications. The following is an accurate account of my statements. On May 16,1996 after Mayor Treacy Fired than Code Enforcement Officer Robert Stiloski, I submitted a letter to be considered for the vacant position. Never once from May 16th to November 1996 was I ever approached by the Mayor to fill the vacant position. The Mayor in that same time period approched numerous individuals within this Fire Depatment to take the position of Code Enforcement Officer. None of the individuals approached by the Mayor had any knowledge of Code Enforcement. In July or August Mayor Treacy appointed Gary McClain as Code Enforcement Officer. Mr. McClain was not at that time Certified as a Code Enforcement Officer. Mr. McClain resigned two weeks latter for personal reasons. My qualifications for the position consist of 25 years as an active member of the Sleepy Hollow Fire Department, formerly known as N.Tarrytown, Fire Department. I Served all firematic offices in Rescue Hose . Elected to the position of 2nd Assistant Chief of the department in April 1987. I advanced to the rank of Chief of the Department in April 1989. I was Certified as a NYS Code Enforcement Officer in October 1989 by the NYS Office of Fire Prevention and Control. I was Chairman and CoAuthor of the present Village Sprinkler Code adopted in October 1989 by the Village Board , and latter approved by the Secretary of State as superior to the State Building and Fire Codes. Served as the Village Assistant Code Enforcement Officer under Robert Stiloski from June 1991June 1993. Mayor Treacy was than a Trustee and never once did he question my competence or question the fair labor standards act. I along with three other individuals were granted an interview by the Village Board on November 12,1996. Gary McClain not being one of the candidates. Being born and raised in this Village, I offered to do the Job at a saving to the Tax payers for $10,000. �At the December 17,1996 Board meeting Gary McClain was appointed by Mayor Treacy over requests from Trustee Ramsey to at least have the opportunity to interview Mr. McClain. Her request was denied. I feel that the Mayors action were personal and not in the best interest of the village. Richard N. Gross �»+'•'• .,,/£ tp&v i PUBLIC WORKS REPORT JANUARY 7, 1997 Christmas tree lights will be taken down this week. Christmas trees will be picked up every day when placed at the curb . Tree trimming and the removal of dead trees is continuing. i A light pole that was knocked down recently on the corner of Depeyster and Broadway has been replaced.

Lenny Vogt addressed the Mayor commenting that he was upset over an incident that occurred after the last board meeting. Chick Galella asked when the proposed budget would be ready , how long the lease with Ferry Sloop is, if we received an answer from the Attorney General regarding the special referendum on the name change and the hiring of Terry O'Neill for police negotiations. �The Mayor commented that a memo is being sent to department heads for their requests this week; this is the first step; the Ferry Sloop lease is for five years, and that Terry O'Neill has a retainer for $15,000.00 a year which is for all labor related issues; this is less expensive than payment by the hour. Village Attorney commented that she will provide Mr. Galella with a copy of the Attorney General's answer.

By Order of the Board of Trustees Angela Everett, Deputy Village Clerk Dated: January 6, 1997 �Public Hearing Notice Village of Sleepy Hollow Please take notice that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, January 21, 1997 at 8:00 PM or soon thereafter in Village Hall, 28 Beekman Avenue, Sleepy Hollow, New York to hear comments regarding the amendment to village local law regarding snow zones ( Chapter 57, Section 57-22.1 entitled Snow Zones), to wit: To add the north side of Spruce Street to the designated snow zone list.

By order of the Board of Trustees Angela Everett, Deputy Village Clerk Dated: January 11, 1997 �V;' • '.\+£-'"!: '• ;•••• W'$i':- • Allen Williams 11 Spruce Street Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591 January 15, 1997 Sean Treacy Mayor Village of Sleepy Hollow Dear Mayor Treacy: I am sorry I missed the last meeting on the "Spruce Street matter." I would like to suggest, at this time, a new survey be taken as to what the homeowners on Spruce truly want for their street, not outsiders from other areas in the village. I have spoken to a few of my neighbors who say they did not sign a paper with all the restrictions such as what has already been submitted before the board. Apparently, someone has changed the original petition to further include restrictions upon residents. Petitioners recall only the "15 feet from intersection parking" and the "left side to curb parking restriction," being written out in the original petition proposed to the board. We are very confused as to where all these further restrictions came from. As to the "sweeper restrictions," I, my family of nine children and their children, who frequently visit, will be the most effected of any resident on Spruce. This talk of "alternate side of the street parking for both sides" is unnecessary and will be a burden to every resident here on Spruce. Further, New Broadway and surrounding streets will be asked to carry the burden of parking for Spruce. It could not be the intent of your administration to further congest New Broadway and other streets. In the thirty years I have resided here, I have never observed any street-cleaning problems. Residents of Spruce agree that this is one of the cleaner streets in all of Sleepy Hollow all year round. The end result, regardless of what some might feel, this street does not need a constant manicure. Because of the incline of spruce, rainfall does a very good job in keeping the street well maintained. When leaves do fall, spruce primarily needs attention upon the bottom of the street, where it intersects with New Broadway, as the leaves tend to congregate there due to the utilization of a commercial leaf blower on the part of a New Broadway resident. As to the snow removal, Spruce street has always been properly maintained, after the village plow departs, by my sons and I. We have adequately maintained the width and length of Spruce street for years. I have been told that Spruce is always one of the clearest streets by village employees. We don't mind performing this task because it is in our best interest to make Spruce passable for residents. We realize the older residents of Spruce are somewhat limited when it comes to snow removal, this is what makes our task important and their thanks is reward enough. �In closing, I would ask you and the board to re-examine this matter of restrictions for Spruce. After speaking with some of the residents of Spruce, they agree that the petition before you does not appear to be the original. The fact that the proposal before you contains no date is enough for some of us to question its authenticity. Words and restrictions wore added after the fact by someone to manipulate you and the board. If there is anything else I can do for you and the board please don't hesitate to alert me. Please feel free to read this to all concerned regarding this matter at the next public hearing for Spruce. I extend my sincere thanks for your time and your consideration. Sincerely, Allen Williams P.S. SPRUCE IS A "DEAD END" STREET �3zj I 3£L i.

This statement of Trustee Chevere contradicts an article which appeared in the September 16,1996 Gannett addition of The Tarrytown Daily News. This article states " A SPRINKLER SYSTEM HAS BEEN INSTALLED AND IS BEING TESTED SO THE BUILDING INSPECTOR JAMES MARGOTTA CAN APPROVE IT." This department on it's routine inspection of NEW or RENOVATED BUILDINGS requiring a Sprinkler System, is unable to locate the Fire Department Siamese Connection for the Sprinklers. We request a response, at this meeting, from Trustee Chevere, who is also a Board member of the Church, as to the correct status of the Sprinkler System. If the Sprinkler System has been installed according to The Daily News Article of September 16,1996, we request a copy of the test results be placed in Chief Rutiglianos Mail Box as of Wednesday January 22nd. If the Sprinkler System has not been installed as per Trustee Cheveres comments at the January 7th board meeting , than why was a Temporary CO issued with such an important life safety component missing. 1 �NORTH TRRRVTOUJN FIR€ DGPRRTf/lCNT J Lire P.Urol Orov 1S76 Pcxraniico Hook & Ladder Oifl. 1873 Rescue Hose Co. 1 Org. 1887 Union Hose Co.

Present: Mayor Sean Treacy Morris Alter Mario DiFelice Jose Chevere Patricia Ramsey Donal Stever I Trustees Absent: Richard C. Sweet Also Present: Linda E. David, Village Administrator Janet Gandolfo, Village Attorney Mayor Treacy read the following into the official minutes: Tonight is a historic night for Sleepy Hollow. The actions taken by this Board of Trustees will have beneficial impacts well into the next millennium. We are taking a major step in changing our village's riverfront front industrial use of the past to a new traditional neighborhood with new and beautiful riverfront access for our community. Our Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan is one of the best of its type in New York State. It is far reaching and visionary. When the site is redeveloped, our community will have a new traditional neighborhood that in many ways will resemble the turn of the century communities that hugged our beautiful Hudson River. I It will be well-designed, waterfront compatible and will open up new vistas that have for decades been cut off by the large 132 foot tall manufacturing plant. Our new local law will insure permanent public view sheds. New activities will enhance our riverfront and protect sensitive environmental areas. The new district will substantially reduce impacts of previous uses; height, traffic and pollution. 1 �Our new uses with the various controls created in the new LWRP zoning amendments and the enabling legislation that accompanies the law will ensure that our community will be enhanced environmentally and also financially. The creation of the Riverfront Trust Fund will allow our village to improve various parks, historic places, rehabilitate the old pedestrian bridge connecting Kingsland Point Park and Dcvrics Field (Horsemen's Trail), landscape improvements, street scape improvements, possible construction of a museum or similar facility, erosion controls and improvements to the inner village. New architectural design standards must be adhered to and the creation of a new Sleepy Hollow Waterfront Advisory Committee to insure the proper implementation of the new village's Local Waterfront Rcvitalization Plan. In short, tonight we are ensuring that our village will have a new and brighter future. There is life after General Motors. David Stolman gave a brief overview of what the adoption of this LWRP will mean for the village and some of the permitted uses. Slides were shown and Trustee Stcver gave a brief explanation of height restrictions, etc. Public Hearing Comments Trustee Alter moved, second by Trustee Ramsey to open the public hearing, motion carried. 5-0. Mayor Trcacy read the attached public hearing notice. Trustee Stever commented that Trustee Sweet is very ill and could not be here this evening. He worked very hard towards this adoption and we owe him a debt of gratitude. Steve Scrina commented that the creation of the new 4-A district does not have a provision for commercial zone in this plan. David Stolman responded that there are provisions in the whole packet for this. Mr. Kavicky asked that we concentrate on the Duraccll property instead of General Motors. Lou Ann Smith of Hudson Street had concerns of the effect the demolition of General Motors would have on their area and where docs the village stand as far as waste removal, etc. She felt more meetings should be held. �31b Mayor Treacy explained that the old law would require 15 years for them to demolish the plant but now demolition will start in the summer of 1997. We have a legal binding agreement with GM as far as the clean up and there have been a series of meetings held. Future meetings will be held to inform them on the demolition. Trustee Ramsey commented that the current zoning is now manufacturing. The law being considered tonight changes the designation to riverfront development which includes residential and commercial. Changing the zoning is added protection for us. If this new law is not passed, GM could leave more contaminants at the sight than they would under the new zoning restrictions. Trustee Stever commented that there were many informational hearings held previously whereby residents were given the opportunity to speak and ask questions. Phyllis Riina of General Motors commented that there are still some concerns with the documents such as some of the uses, restricted uses, height, etc. General Motors would like a less restrictive code. Gary McLean commented that the sooner this project is completed the better for all concerned; it will help our tax base. Don Caetano and John VVhalen also commented we should move ahead. Richard Weiss, member of the CAC, commented that this is a good blueprint for the village and was supportive of these changes. Dennis McDaniel of Hudson Street had concerns about the restrictions of one and two family houses. The Mayor commented that a survey of that street was done and there were mostly two family homes, but any three or four family home in existence can remain even when sold as "grandfathered-non-conforming uses". Mark Arduino asked about the availability of the document to the public, and whether there were any demolition fees and recreation fees. Don Stever commented that the final document must be fine tuned and changes could even be made tonight. Janet Gandolfo commented that the working document was available to the public in November and January . There are demolition fees which the Board can amend from time to time, but recreation fees continue as they are. Trustee DiFclice made a motion to hold off adopting these resolutions until the next meeting. There was no second, motion died. 3 �Mario Bclanich commented that more input was needed. Ms. Dickey of Hudson Street had concerns about the demolition of GM as far as the blasting. Ms. Riina gave a brief overview of the process involved with the demolition but commented that no explosives will be used. Mayor Trcacy commented that we will be meeting with the residents during the process to discuss their concerns. John Jadus wanted to know what kind of tax base this new zoning redevelopment will produce. The Mayor responded that this redevelopment will produce a very large tax base. Trustee Ramsey read a portion of the document regarding the net tax gain, whereby a net tax gain is anticipated. Frank Rcy felt that the Board should seek out businesses instead of residential and the document needs more review. Trustee Ramsey commented that she must leave the meeting and if she should not be back in time for the vote, she urged her fellow trustees to adopt these zoning amendments. Jim Galgano commented that at the last meeting he was told that the properties to be rczoned would be south to the Tarry town village line but didn't see it listed. He commented more residents would put an added strain on all departments and felt there should be more commercial than residential. He wanted to know what difference between the special use provision and the zoning variance. The Mayor commented that the entire "M" zone is included in the document. Trustee Stcver commented that the special use permit is a use that is permitted subject to certain criteria that the local law sets forth; there are two types of variances a use variance and an area variance and an applicant must go before the Zoning Board and gave further explanation . Vic Albancse wanted to know the businesses on Beckman Avenue have been given any consideration. Trustee Stever commented that there are provisions in the riverfront district that provide incentives in return for providing benefits given by the developer at the riverfront, some of which will reach up to Bcekman Avenue . �37X ''•;$?•'* I Frank Rey commented that a regional office was created years ago; is the any continued use by GM. Ms. Riina stated that the planning process has not started. There being no further comments, Trustee alter moved, second by Trustee Stever to close the hearing, carried. Resolutions-Attached There being no further business, Trustee Alter moved, second by Trustee Stever to adjourn the meeting, motion carried. I I Respectfully submitted, Angela Everett Deputy Village Clerk �LEGAL NOTICE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Village of Sleepy Hollow will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, January 28, 1997 at Sleepy Hollow Village Hall at 8 P.M. or as soon thereafter as possible, to hear and consider public comments regarding the following. 1) Supplement to Generic Environmental Impact Statement Regarding Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP); 2) Adoption of local law amending the Village Zoning Code to create a new RFRivcrfront Development zoning district. The proposed local law would create a new RFRivei front Development zoning district to be applied to portions of the Village along the Hudson River including lands associated with the General Motors Assembly Plan and lands west of Hudson Street. The proposed local law would replace the existing Mmanufacturing and PP-Public Parking Area Districts with the RF District. 3) Adoption of local law amending the Village Zoning Code to create a new R-4A One-ancl Two-Family Residence/Neighborhood zoning district. The proposed local law would replace the existing M-manufacturing zoning with a new R-4A District which would be applied to an area located east of Hudson Street, west of the Metro-North rightof-way, south of Beekman Avenue and north of Sleepy Hollow/Tarrytown Village boundary. 4) Adoption of local law amending the Village Zoning Code pertaining to the regulation and authority of the Village Architectural Review Board (ARB). The proposed amendments will authorize the seven member Architectural Review Board, using their existing review procedure, to review actions involving historic sites which are listed on or nominated for inclusion on the State or National Registers of Historic Places. It also establishes a procedure whereby a newly created "Historic Resource Evaluation Committee" can recommend to the Village Board of Trustees, the designation of properties, areas, or structures having special historic, cultural, architectural, or archaeological value to the Village of Sleepy Hollow, as landmarks, historic sites, or historic districts of local significance. The historic resource amendments also provide a review procedure for the ARB to consider applications for demolition permits involving historic properties, and provide a mandatory waiting period before authorizing the issuance of a demolition permit in order to allow a party that would save the historic property to come forward. 5) Adoption of local law amending the Village Zoning Code to define and authorize the issuance of Demolition Permits. The proposed local law would amend Section 62-34, Building Permits, of the Village's Zoning code to provide such permit authority and definitions. 6) Adoption of local law amending the Village Code to create a new Village of Sleepy Hollow Waterfront Consistency Review Law. The proposed local law establishes consistency review procedures for Village actions in order to implement the LWRP. this local law will require of each board, department, office, officer or other body of the Village of Sleepy Hollow, that its actions to directly undertake or to permit, fund or otherwise approve any project, use or activity with the Village be consistent to the �3<n maximum extent practicable with the State and local policies set forth in the Village's LWRP More specifically, the proposed local law would establish procedures for: (1) Initial review of proposed actions in accordance with the State SEQRA; (2) Advisement and assistance to applicants (if involved) and/or to the boards, departments, offices, officers, or other bodies of the Village involved regarding forms, procedures, etc.; and (3) LWRP consistency and SEQRA review through advisement from a newly created Waterfront Advisory Committee and the local lead agency, respectively. 7) Adoption of local law amending the Village Zoning Code to authorize the Village Planning Board to issue Special Use Permits. The proposed local law would provide authorization to the Village Planning Board to issue special use permits as a part of the proposed RF-Riverfront Development zoning district. Currently, the Village's Zoning code only authorizes the Zoning Board of Appeals to issue special permits for "an off-site parking area or joint use of parking facilities subject to the provisions of Section 62-21 as to the location and design and of Section 62-29 as the site plan review by the Planning Board . . ." It is not proposed that the current authorization for issuance of a special permit for off-site parking or joint use parking facilities be changed from that currently administered by the ZBA. 8) Adoption of a local law amending the Village code to establish a Village of Sleepy Hollow Waterfront Advisory Committee. The Committee will provide general oversight for the administration of the Village's LWRP and technical assistance in the form of advice. Such Committee will function as the Village entity that is primarily responsible, in an advisory capacity, for implementing the policies, purposes, and projects contained within the Village's LWRP. The Committee will also function as the Village agency that makes recommendations for consistency of actions with the Village's LWRP as prescribed by the Village's Waterfront Consistency Review Law. All interested parties are invited to attend and be heard at said hearing. Copies of all proposed local laws, together with supporting documentation are available for inspection, review and copying at Village Hall, 28 Beekman Avenue, Sleepy Hollow, NY at the Village Clerk's Office between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday.

Cavaliero, Principal February 24, 1997 Ms. Linda David, Village Administrator Village of Sleepy Hollow Town Hall Beekman Avenue Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591 • Dear Linda: Based on our conversation on Wednesday, February 19th, I am responding in writing to the proposed stop signs on Elm Street and Pocantico Street and the zebra stripe pedestrian crosswalk from the Van Tassel to the entrance to Morse School on Pocantico Street. I wholeheartedly support any efforts that the village would take to secure the safety of all pedestrians, be they students, parents or residents in the neighborhood. The stop signs would prevent the vehicular traffic from moving too quickly and alert them to the need to travel more slowly in a school zone. However, the crosswalk signals a contradictory message to students from a safety issue regarding the crossing of streets. We teach our students to cross at the corner where the crossing guard is only. I would find this approach to be troublesome in the overall scheme of safety precautions (which includes lessons from our DARE program). If you have any questions or concerns, please call me. i Respectfully yours, Robert J. Cavaliero Principal RJC:mvm cc: D. Kusel A. LaBella R.

I Your coast, your future February 12, 1997 mSWaterfrotits George K. P.itaki (Jovertior Alexander I:. Tre.nl\\< Secrvtiiry of Suite i To the Family of Richard C. Sweet, I am shocked and overwhelmed with great sadness to learn that Richard has passed away. He was a veryfgood friend! I first met him in February, 1990 as I began working with the Village of Sleepy Hollow on the preparation of it's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP). The Village Board charged the Village's Conservation Advisory Council with the responsibility of preparing a draft LWRP in cooperation with the NYS Department of State. I was the staff person from the Department of State assigned to work with the Village on this cooperative project. As you know, Richard was the Chairman of the Village's Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) for many years, and in particular, during the period of time the Village's LWRP was prepared. I cannot say enough to adequately describe how wonderful it was to work with and develop such a wonderful friendship with Richard as we, and others, prepared the Village's LWRP. The legacy he will leave for Sleepy Hollow's future through the LWRP - and realization of its goals - will be a tremendous tribute to a man who cared so deeply about his community. i I have worked with many, many communities throughout New York State on similar local waterfront revitalization programs, but in no other did I develop the same affinity for, and personal commitment to a place, than I did in Sleepy Hollow. With out a doubt, my affinity for Sleepy Hollow and the proud feeling I have for the LWRP we prepared, is a direct result of Richard. His steadfastness, conviction, and most importantly, the cordial manner with which he pursued community betterment goals was not only refreshing, but truly inspiring to me and others. In a public climate too often dominated by negativism and what can't be accomplished, Richard always had his eyes fixed on positive goals for the future and pursued them in the most honorable and distinguished fashion. He recognized the importance of accomplishing goals by bringing people with differing views together so that they can realize their common ground. While I have not met, nor ever talked with many of you, I feel I know you all. I would spend lime talking with Richard after the CAC meetings and other LWRP-related meetings and events. Sometimes there would be a group of us, and sometimes it would just be the two of us. We would •Vl'V l)H'\HI\tt\'l Of S'M/>.

It was during these times that we not only talked about the LWRP and the Village, but also talked about our families and other issues important to us. It didn't take long for me to realize that Richard cared deeply about his family. He conveyed a great deal of pride and love as he told stories of his family; stories of his children and grandchildren; and stories of fun times spent with Laurel and of growing up in the Sleepy Hollow area. I enjoyed and looked forward to these "after meeting" get togethers. Having lost my mother fourteen years ago, and my mother-in-law last year, I truly sympathize with, and share in the feelings you all have. I cannot adequately express the feelings of sadness I have about losing such a good friend. You should all be very proud of him. He was truly a wonderful, caring, compassionate, inspiring, and successful man. A true leader. His accomplishments and joys were many. He leaves behind a rich legacy that so profoundly and prominently touched the lives and hearts of so many people; his family, his community, and beyond. The wonderful memories for anyone that ever knew him, will never be forgotten. The foliowing poem reminds me of the affection Richard had for his family, friends, and community. May it remind us all of what is truly important in our lives: "Bonds of Affection" by L.E. Landon There is in life no blessing like affection; It soothes, it hallows, elevates, subdues, And bringeth down to earth it's native heaven. It sits beside the cradle patient hours, whose sole contentment is to watch and loveIt bendeth o 'er the death-bed, and conceals It's own despair with words of faith and hope. Life has naught else that may supply its place, Void is ambition, cold is vanity, And wealth an empty glitter, without love. There are few people in this world that truly inspire and evoke strong positive feelings. For me, Richard was one of those. I will miss him and his friendship very, very much! Our fond memories of him will be with us always. In Deepest Sympathy, Jeffrey D.

To the trustees let me say we have a lot of work ahead of us, and ordinarily - after any political campaign - it would be my inclination to let bygones be bygones and get down to the business at hand. But tonight I wish to make a statement on an issue that S has troubled me ever since it happened. It grieves me deeply. After every campaign we look back and see things we wish we had done, and things we might have done better; and there are sometimes things which we may have said or done that we regret. Unfortunately, there are also times when someone goes far beyond the realm of good judgment.... and decency. One instance of gross indecency was a brochure which appeared in the village, late in the campaign, which accused me of being a racist. i First let me say to trustee Pat Ramsey that I believe that you personally had nothing to do with it. And I don't doubt for a moment that you would have halted it, or prevented it, had you known it was happening. l �I've known Pat Ramsey as a candidate and a trustee for over a year now. I respect her intellect and her education and I am acutely aware that as a professor she is teaching many young people who come from all walks of life. And it would be most unfortunate indeed if they were to think for a moment that Dr. Ramsey could be capable of such a despicable act. Students, you need not worry. Pat Ramsey and I may disagree politically from time to time; but on the issue of RACE .... we stand shoulder to shoulder. To the person who WAS responsible for the charge of racism against me: on one level I feel sorrow for you. You are truly a victim of your OWN blind bigotry; heedless; and incapable of seeing how such a mindless act could spread unnecessary pain and misunderstanding among your own neighbors. On a personal note, I grew up hearing of the hate and bigotry my Irish ancestors faced when they came to America. That was a time when most job listings said, "Irish need not apply." It was a time when about the only work Irish women could find was scrubbing floors; and men were hired to clean up after the horses. They were stories that would make a deep and lasting impression on me. 2 �I Our home was in the Bronx .... in a neighborhood of mixed nationalities. We were all Americans, of course, .... but what you routinely heard in the street were the ethnic slurs against the predominant groups of the neighborhood: the Irish, the Italians, and the Jews, in particular; but all ethnic groups in general. Fortunately, my parents taught me early in life to understand the stupidity of bigotry I .... AND its pain. I was instructed to ignore the taunts personally, and to understand that those who taught bigotry .... especially the adults in the neighborhood .... were people who sometimes didn't even know why they espoused hate .... something most likely handed down from THEIR hate-filled parents. I was also taught to believe that a lot of those same people, especially those whom my parents said should know better, were people lacking in self-respect It was a lesson well learned. Despite all of this, however, nothing could prepare me for the shock I felt when I learned about the campaign brochure accusing me of racism. Total disbelief at first. I Then anger. ...hurt ...and bitterness. You try to dismiss it from your mind, chalk it up to politics; but it doesn't go away. It was an EVIL act; and thus tonight I felt it necessary to address the issue on behalf of the entire community of Sleepy Hollow. 3 �I thank you. And now on behalf of the community, let's see what we can do to put the campaign behind us. For my part, I truly hope we can get beyond party, and forge a partnership .... a partnership that will allow us to focus on what is really best for ALL of the people of Sleepy Hollow. God knows we have some exciting and challenging projects ahead of us. So let's have at it. I 4 i �PUBLIC WORKS REPORT MARCH 25, 1997 I THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1997 IS A LEGAL HOLIDAY.

We have ten storefronts already interested. We have received a check of $3700. from Federal Emergency Management Association for reimbursement of storm related expenses that occurred in October 1996. Mayor Treacy commented the information that was leaked to the press regarding the GM reassessment was only a draft and should not have been given out. This reassessment was incorrect due to the fact that this area has been rezoned. We are seeking our own reassessment with the new rezoning which will be a true assessment.

The school may have some sort of vehicle whereby they can put away money for a rainy day, but the village cannot do that; we are required to present a balanced budget. The only way to create a tax stabilization fund would be to have a public referendum.

It is an impressive document! We congratulate James Laird, Peter Hildick-Smith and Henry Steiner for their creativity in crafting it. After our historic renaming in December, they can be proud that such an artistic, detailed, and thoroughly readable brochure will announce Sleepy Hollow to the world. Their imagination and hard work will help launch our village into an era of recognition that was long overdue. Thanks to them, a review of our village's natural beauty, cultural attractions, and historic landmarks is now available at a glance—in a single, pocket-size itinerary. We owe Jim, Peter, and Henry a resounding "Well done!" Residents, stop by for your copy. 2. Tarrytown Trustee Jerome Blood chaired a tourism meeting at Warner Library on April 23, 1997. Its purpose was for us to discuss with Tarrytown's Executive Tourism Committee our villages' common interests. About twelve people attended, including a member of Irvington's tourism-committee and a representative of the Historic Hudson Valley organization. Trustees Chevere, Collins, and I also participated, this village board's complete Tourism Committee. We reviewed an agenda developed by Tarrytown's group and combined it with our own ideas. The following agenda resulted: A. Additional parking areas, otherwise no tourism program can succeed; B. Extending the time on parking meters—an investment to generate more income than hourly dimes and quarters now provide; C. Bus and rail transportation with special tour-price packages; D. Several trolleys, including service among the three villages; E. Hudson River transportation such as a Nyack river taxi and New York Waterways vessels; F. Information kiosks at central locations—like the reception center at Philpsburg Manor Restoration—staffed by volunteers and stocked with brochures; G. Long-term planning of major events—more of them and a greater variety of them; e.g., Halloween, cultural festivals, antique train exhibitions; 11. Coordination with hotels: information desks, tour packages with overnight stays; I. Additional tourist accommodations, including bed-and-breakfasts; �Tourism Committee Report, 5/6/97 Page 2 of 3 J. Different itinerary options: what you can do in an hour, half a day, a day, a weekend; K. Improving downtown areas: benches, "you-are-here" poster maps, flags marking information centers and walking-tour sites. Topics raised for further consideration: A. Grant-funds allocated for trolley service but not completely spent; B. Broader marketing programs, not just catering to incidental tourists: • Providing brochures to chambers of commerce statewide; C. The private sector, not municipalities, running trolley services; D. Advertising the villages more widely through information centers at local landmarks that already draw visitors: • Estimates of visitorship in '97-'98 based on current data: 120,000 at Philipsburg Manor, 50,000 at Sunnyside, 25,000 at Lyndhurst. We agreed on a second meeting, and Trustee Blood said he would contact us about the time and place. Meanwhile, I'll suggest that Sleepy Hollow's tourism committee meet and come up with plans specific to this village's needs. 3. Sunday, April 6,1 joined members of the Trout Unlimited organization in a program to improve the Pocantico River as a habitat for trout. With helpfromthe state Department of Environmental Conservation and staff from the Rockefeller estate, we worked on a section of the river just east of the Gory Brook Road bridge. About twenty of us, from my 11-year-old daughter Rudi to one gentleman in his 70's, got together for "rock-rolling"—crow-barring large stones loose from land along the banks and repositioning them in the water, and hand-carrying smaller ones over to the workers in hipboots. We placed the rocks to re-direct the flow and create a longer, deeper channel that will be better for the fish. We also carted rocks from along Gory Brook Road and used them to reinforce a section of riverbank that was being eroded by swift current. On Wednesday, April 23, the state released another 600 trout into the Pocantico % �Tourism Committee Report, 5/6/97 Page 3 of 3 River. The following Sunday, April 27, loc I volunteers continued their work on the waterway. Farther upstream this time, i) ey chainsawed and removed a large willow that the April snowstorm had brougl down into the stream. Then they reinforced the shore with rocks and built a cl im that created a pool, the kind that trout will need in order to establish themselv :s as permanent residents. Sleepy Hollow will need to regulate and monitor ishing in the village's portion of the Pocantico as the trout population thrives and <he good news gets around. 4. On Sunday, April 27, Rockwood Hall Park once again welcomed the Westchester SPCA's annual dog-Walkathon. Held just north of Phelps Hospital, this popular event is the kind that our tourism ageni a should highlight. During the hour and a half I was there, it was drawing hundred; of people with best friends on leashes. A brief address by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. \ vas the kick-off for this year's pooch promenade. The park features a woodland stream, rare and beautiful trees planted years ago by the Rockefeller family, groomed walking trails, and sloping meadows with impressive Hudson River vistas—from the mountains beyond Haverstraw Bay, to the Tappan Zee, and all the way down to the Twin Towers in Manhattan. Next year Sleepy Hollow should be offering follow-up activities to attract people to the village after they leave Rockwood Hall.

On Friday afternoon, May 9th, I attended a conference at the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers. It was for members of the Historic Hudson River Towns of Westchester, a coalition of riverfront municipalities from Peekskill to Yonkers. Its purpose was to discuss goals and methods for developing tourism plans among our member communities. Lecture topics included A. Strategies for preserving green ways as a benefit to residents and tourists; B. The role of the Westchester County Department of Planning as an ally to riverfront communities; C. Successful initiatives of the American Green ways Program, a national organization headquartered in Arlington, Virginia; D. How it makes economic sense for a community to preserve its unique character. One guest-speaker summed up the issue this way: "It's the river, stupid!" Less poetic but also helpful were the comments of Edward T. McMahon, former president of Scenic America, a non-profit organization devoted to protecting our nation's scenic landscapes. He is now a land-use planning lawyer and director of the American Greenways Program. He spoke of why it's profitable for a community to connect its identity with its plans for development. He also provided copies of several articles he's published, including one called "Design Matters," from the winter 1996 issue of the Planning Commissioners Journal. For this board's purposes, the following quote may be relevant: Good design is especially important to those communities seeking to attract tourists and their dollars ... because the more a community does to protect �Tourism Committee Report, 5/20/97 Page 2 of 3 and enhance its unique characteristics, whether natural or man-made, the more tourists it will attract. On the other hand, the more a community comes to resemble everyplace else, the less reason there is to visit. During the 1970s, McMahon was a US Army serviceman in Germany. He lived in Heidelberg, which he describes as "clean, compact, and dripping with history. ... Missing were cars, which you really didn't need because you could walk from one end of town to the other in about 20 minutes." This relates to Sleepy Hollow's tourism potential in four ways: First, we can further develop the use of trolleys, both for residents and visitors. This would reduce the pressure for more parking. Second, we've already started our own greenway along the Pocantico River. This makes Philipsburg Manor Restoration even more important as a center for visitors. In one direction, they'll be able to stroll from there up the Pocantico River to the Rockefeller woodlands. In the other, they'll takesthe re-opened footbridge over to Kingsland Point, enjoy a picnic under the trees, visit the lighthouse, then walk to Sleepy Hollow Landing Park for an outdoor concert or a boatride. Third: As a potential for walking tours, Beekman Avenue is obvious. One resident has suggested that the tour might begin at Patriots Park and include, along the way, two of our landmark churches on Broadway. One of them, formerly St. Mark's Episcopal Church, now Immaculate Conception, was completed in 1868 as a memorial to Washington Irving after his death in 1859. Fourth, and most important, is the "new" village we'll soon build on the waterfront. Our new zoning laws will make it pedestrian-friendly and provide river views—not only from new buildings and from nearby neighborhoods, but also for shoppers and strollers. �Tourism Committee Report, 5/20/97 Page 3 of 3 Beginning with this administration, Sleepy Hollow officials will influence our future as a rivertown. That influence will extend far beyond the next century. And that future could be determined in the next five years. Its success will depend in part on how we define the character of our village as unique in the history of the Hudson Valley. I believe that enhancing the natural beauty of our shoreline is the key. In the next few years, the Tourism Committee's most important task may be this: originating ideas to integrate Sleepy Hollow's newriverfrontinto the life of a village that must now reclaim its Hudson heritage after 100 years of being almost cut off from it by industry. I called a Tourism Committee meeting for Thursday, May 15. Members made these suggestions: 1. That for the United Nations' fiftieth anniversary in September, we consider having a celebration of the village's different cultural heritages; e.g., blocking off a section of Beekman Avenue for ethnic food booths, live music, and other attractions. Comments on the suggestion included whether there should be a parade instead of, or in addition to, this event, and how much either would cost the village; also that a celebration of this scale might require a longer time to plan than we now have, with summer almost here. 2. That we distribute Sleepy Hollow brochures to all the area hotels, including White Plains; and also to municipal halls, travel agencies and train stations. One member volunteered to ask the Thruway Authority's permission to have brochures placed in pamphlet racks at rest stops along the highway. 3. That our next meeting include viewing a tape of highlights from the May 9th Historic Hudson River Towns conference. 4. That the committee consider what types of flags, banners and signs would be appropriate for designating sites of interest in the village.

We would consider it to be an exciting professional challenge to work with you to see that the vision is implemented.

We are knowledgeable of all relevant planning and environmental laws, including SEQRA, NEPA and recent changes in New York State's planning legislation. We have prepared over 90 environmenetal impact statements over the past eight years, including site specific and generic studies for municipalities, state agencies, not-for-profits and private developers. Our senior staff members are active in a variety of professional organizations - including the Westchester Municipal Planning Federation, the American Planning Association and the Urban Land Institute - and we are frequently enlisted as speakers on a variety of current planning topics. As noted above, we also provide land planning and environmental services to private developers and non-profit organizations. (Note that we have not worked on any private projects within the Village of Sleepy Hollow). As a result, we are acutely aware of the obstacles faced by development proposals, even those which are well thought-out and consistent with local planning goals. Both the time delays and the costs faced by applicants can be enough to kill off specific proposals and to discourage others from ever being put forth. Saccardi & Scruff, Inc. firmly believes that the objectives of both the Village and development applicants can be met in an effective and cost efficient manner. The elements of that approach include: �I Ms. Linda David, Village Administrator May 16, 1997 Page 3 1. Identification, early in the application process, of the key issues of concern to the Village. This enables the applicant to concentrate his efforts on satisfying Village objectives. 2. Quick turn-around of reviews by the planning consultant folic »ving submission of plans, reports, etc. by the applicant. This can help to substantially compress the time frame for reviews. 3. Scoping of necessary environmental reports (EAF, EIS) so that only significant issues are studied. Requiring developers to analyze irrelevant issues simply because they are listed in the SEQR handbook is one of the most common and expensive abuses of the review process in Westchester County and elsewhere. 4. Removing highly technical matters (e.g. sizing of catch basins) from the public Planning Board review process and entrusting them to the Village Engineer or other appropriate person. This not only conserves applicant resources, it also permits the Planning Board to focus on those elements of an application which relate most directly to Village planning policies. 5. Avoiding overlapping reviews by staff members. Too often, we have arrived at project meetings on behalf of a developer client only tofindthat the municipality's review consultant has sent three staff members and is billing for all of them. Although Saccardi & Schiff, Inc. has the necessary staff resources to adequately serve Sleepy Hollow, we would utilize them efficiently. 6. Permitting applications to advance to the next review phase in a timely manner. This often becomes a problem when review consultants improperly reject a Draft Environmental Impact Statement as "incomplete" when, in fact, it is fully adequate for public review. Some communities, moreover, refuse to begin the SEQR process until they are completely satisfied with a plan. Not only does this cause extensive delays, it also conflicts with the letter and content of the law. 7. Within the context of the above, preparing review reports well in advance of meetings, assisting Board members to focus on key issues and avoiding surprises — for both Board members and applicants — when reports are presented just before the given meeting begins. Staffing If selected for this assignment, Saccardi & Schiff, Inc. services would be provided under my direction as Principal-in-Charge. Primary responsibility for planning reviews would be provided by Syrette Dym, AICP, an Associate Vice President of the firm. As necessary, we would also call on other members for assistance, including John Saccardi, AICP, a Principal of the firm and Josh Moreinis, AICP, a Senior Associate who worked with me on the GM Study. Descriptions of the relevant experience of each of these staff members follows. �i ntrv •••••••' iV'^iMiM tmmmf«^irmm Ms. Linda David, Village Administrator May 16, 1997 Page 4 David B. SchifT, AICP, PP has 25 years of planning experience, both as a town and village planner and as a consultant.

Saccardi, AICP has written comprehensive zoning ordinances updates or major zoning amendments in communities including Mount Kisco, Greenburgh, Nyack, Larchmont, and Freeport. He has directed the firm's Comprehensive Plans for the City of New Rochelle, the Town of Monroe and the Village of Elmsford. He has provided Planning Board review services in Mount Kisco, Freeport, Greenburgh and North Hills. John is a Director of the Westchester Municipal Planning Federation and a frequent lecturer on planning and zoning issues. Syrette Dym, AICP brings 25 years of professional planning experience asa consulting planner and municipal staff planner and as Planning Board Chairperson for the Village of Larchmont.

For the latter, she has prepared a DEIS scope for, and is presently reviewing a proposal for a 260,000 square foot shopping center. Josh Morenis, AICP has 10 years of planning experience. He has recently participated in the White Plains Comprehensive Plan and waterfront development studies in Bay Shore and Poughkeepsie and at the GM plant site in Sleepy Hollow. As needed, we would also utilize our staff design professionals in the review process.

Billing A copy of our municipal billing rates is attached. All staff keep a daily log of time spent on each contract. Bills are issued monthly, and indicate the time spent by each staff member and the work tasks carried out. We bill only for those out-of-pocket costs indicated (printing, express deliveries, etc). We do not bill for local travel, meals, telephone calls or incidental copying. �Ms. Linda David, Village Administrator May 14, 1997 Page 5 References The following persons are familiar with our municipal planning work and may be contacted for references: Ms. Susan Habel Deputy Commissioner of Planning City of White Plains 914-422-1252 Mr. Lee Ellman Director of Planning City of Yonkers 914-377-6650 Ms Patricia Dwyer Village Administrator Village of Pleasantville 914-769-1975 Mr. Michael Graessle Village Manager Village of Port Chester 914-937-6452 Hon.

First: On Monday, May 22,1 joined fifteen other members of Historic River Towns of Westchester for a workshop at Citibank on White Plains Road in Tarrytown. It was a three-and-a-half-hour planning session that opened with two items of good news. (1) Nancy Gold, head of Historic River Towns, announced a Westchester County grant of $75,000 to be spread over two years. HRTW (Historic River Towns of Westchester) will use it to further develop the joint tourism program for its fourteen member municipalities. (2) Bob Elliott, mayor of Croton-on-Hudson, had just attended a conference at Mohonk mountain in New Paltz. There the National Heritage Foundation announced their plans to fund the Hudson Rivertowns' Greenways program as a model for tourism development in the US. Funds would go first for designing brochures and standardized road signs to identify member communities and mark sites of interest in each one. Besides this funding source, Mayor Elliott pointed out, HRTW members can still prepare individual bids and seek funds through intermunicipal bids. What his and Nancy Gold's announcements mean for Sleepy Hollow is that we are advancing as a tourist destination at no cost to local taxpayers. At the conference I worked with three other participants to develop plans for a regional office. Among other functions, the office would be HRTW's center for planning a BID—a business improvement district—which would make it easier to attract funding and investments. We discussed its staffing, financing it, and specific activities it would generate. One possibility is a year-round staff of volunteers that would include students from local schools and colleges. HRTW activities could even become part of curricula and course work on Hudson River history and environmental issues. �Tourism Committee Report ~ June 3, 1997 Page 2 of 3 Second: On Sunday, May 25, a tourism subcommittee suggested: 1. We write a position paper on tourism, spelling out exactly what our objectives are and what they aren't; 2. We contact The New York Times "Travel" section about an article on Sleepy Hollow; 3. We develop Halloween as an annual celebration our village should "own" because oflrving's masterpiece; that because "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is both a literary landmark and a famous Disney animation, Disney enterprises may have an interest in sharing ideas with us about making the village our nation's Halloween headquarters; 4. How about an arts center and performance amphitheater on the river? GM might be interested, especially if funding could come both from government sources and private foundations; 5. We consider different types of signs the village could identify points of interest with; that resident artists arc willing to offer their sign designs at no cost to the village; 6. Improvements to the Horseman Trail could include restoring the original Headless Horseman Bridge just east of the Route 9 one; 7. We could do a promotional tape of the village, for TV programs and travel ads; local filmmakers and video artists are already discussing it; 8. We get professional photographers to do a "coffee-table" book; 9. That National Geographic Magazine be approached about Sleepy Hollow as a follow-up to "Heart of the Hudson," their article on the river valley in the March 1996 issue; 10. We could plan local and regional presentations to corporate relocation departments and agencies, and send brochures and information packets to ones across the country; 11. That original sculptures be considered; e.g., a life-size pair, set apart from each other, of the Headless Horseman on Daredevil chasing Ichabod Crane on Gunpowder, placed perhaps on the grassy island between Old Broadway and Route 9, between the entrances to the Restoration and the cemetery. �Tourism Committee Report - June 3, 1997 Page 3 of 3 Third, the Sleepy Hollow-and-Tarrytown tourism interview, May 27: Cynthia Ferguson and Anne Marie Basher, of our two villages' Chamber of Commerce, met with the Tarrytown Tourism Committee's Chairman, Jerome Blood, and with me. Sunny McLean taped our discussion for later broadcast on Channel 19. We spent about half an hour reviewing the state of tourism now and its potential for both villages. Highlights included 1. Data that already show an upturn in our local businesses from tourism; other statistics that show nationally the advantages to a local economy of tourist-related jobs over manufacturing ones; 2. Ways that Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown complement each other in what they offer tourists; 3. Improvements and increasedridershipon the trolley that serves Irvington, Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow on weekends; 4. Our history of cultural diversity and the variety it has brought to the growing restaurant trade in both villages; 5. Our common historical heritage as Washington Irving's Sleepy Hollow country; 6. The connection between renaming the village and the enormous potential of our partnership with GM in rebuilding the waterfront; 7. Dates of festivals and events in the next few weeks and into the summer; 8. The relationship of our two villages with the other twelve communities of Historic River Towns of Westchester, and how our joint efforts can increase the benefits of tourism for all of us; 9. Increased demand for travel brochures, the existence of a new website for tourist inquiries, and the chamber of commerce's current role as a clearing house of information for visitors to both villages; 10. Plans for further Channel 19 tourism updates in the months ahead.

Wc axe cognisant ajad appreciative of all the effort e*penrl*d and piugitss mad£ bjT Village officials and the filmmakers in trying to mitigate the project's potential disruption of the neighborhood, as reflected in the third draft of the coctrac. Two weeks ago, thsre were generalized plans, vague promises, sub- mirrimal fees to the Village and no accomodations offend to the most iiTrpacxAd neighbors. Now we have a O-poiot written agreement, dearer plans and offers mads to accommodate and compensate meffe afrected residents. Nevertheless, we uiwierstand thai, as of September 22, at least seven of the families who will be most disrupted remain opposed to the project's taking place cm tbear block. (There also odsts a vocal group of project supporters, many of whom have OT win benefit as individuals, directly or indirectly, from the film.) We had always assumed that residents of Phflipsc Manor rave a tight to the quiet enjoyment of their homes, witbont the inherent disruption of such a -najor commercial nmlextaking operating virtually on their doorsteps- Now we find that Qiis light can be compromised, provided enough money is proffered in the name of bendfctfog the community, (The other benefits that have been cited hive not been supported by -svideoce.) Under any rircumstanrc, we feel that the Trustees wcmld be setting a dangerous precedent by allowing a $20 million commercial undertaking — lasting at least four months and involving $0 employees and extensive equipment — to operate in a residential area. Bat to do so over the objections of a substantial number of directly affectec residents makes it an e-ven more dangerous precedent. We note thai the current version of the contract would ptsrmit work to take place on the block laic at night - between the hours of 10 p.m. and ? a.mM which is specifically forbidden by the Village code (an excerpt of which is mached) . : And while the Code provides for exceptions on public property, it provides fur no such exewprion on residential property, for reasons we feel are self-evident. �The PMIA board stroQfcly oppose* any went by the film company in ocr neighborhood after the time. limit staled in our Jaws.

Public Hearings Mayor Treacy read the attached public hearing notice regarding the proposed amendment to Article 13 of the Vehicle & Traffic code with regard to Partington Avenue and gave a brief explanation. He read a letter from Keyes Associates regarding a traffic study that was done. Trustee Collins moved, second by Trustee DiFelice to open the public hearing, carried. Brian Dempsey gave a presentation of the traffic study that was done. He gave the pros and cons of alternative solutions. The main concern is safety. The Mayor read a letter from Richard Piano, President of the Philipse Manor Improvement Association stating their reasons why Farrington Avenue should not be closed off from Route 9. The Mayor read into the record a letter from Ms. Hegarty and Ms. Maun who live at 3 Farrington Avenue at Route 9 with their reasons for wanting this amendment. 1 �Richard Piano spoke in response to the letter sent by Ms. Hegarty and Ms. Maun. There were pros and cons to the amendment which were stated by several residents in the area, Mary Eiler, Jim Margotta, Mr. Perlmutter, Hugh Jones and Henry Steiner. Most of the reasons against this were increased traffic on other entrances and the access for the fire trucks and highway trucks. There being no further comments, Trustee Collins moved, second by Trustee Munroe to close the hearing, motion carried. Mayor Treacy commented that they will discuss this further at the work session. A short recess took place. Before going on to the next public hearing, Mayor Treacy read resolution 10-122-97. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the Secretary General of United Nations. Diane Martello, representing residents of Pocantico Street, presented the Board with a petition with approximately 57 signatures to stop the heavy truck traffic on Pocantico Street. Mayor Treacy commented that the Police Chief has already contacted the State Troopers to set up a weigh station at both ends of the road. Mayor Treacy read the attached public hearing regarding the proposed increase in the water rates and gave a brief explanation. Trustee Collins moved, second by Trustee Alter to open the public hearing, carried. Jim Galgano asked why the water rates are being raised and will money be transferred to General Fund. The Mayor responded that we have been paying excess water charges to NY City for a long time and we need to raise the water rates or the water fund would not remain solvent. We are allowed by law to transfer money from the water fund to the general fund. Mario Belanich opposed the proposed water rate increase. There being no further comments, Trustee Collins moved, second by Trustee DiFelice to close the hearing, carried. Mayor Treacy read the attached public hearing notice regarding the proposed amendments to the Sanitary code and gave a brief explanation. Trustee Alter moved, second by Trustee Munroe to open the public hearing, carried. �Jim Galgano asked how much the village expected to gain by raising these fees and felt that these fees wouldn't help since there is no potential for development in our village. The Mayor commented that there were no permit fees in the past for these connections and felt that the statement Mr. Galgano made was incorrect since there is a proposal for 200 plus units at Phelps Memorial and a proposal by GM for 1900 units. Adrian Domingues, felt that the Plumbing Board should review these amendments before they are adopted. There being no further comments, Trustee DiFelice moved, second by Trustee Collins to close the hearing, carried. Mayor Treacy commented that the next public hearing is a continuation of the hearing that was held regarding parking restrictions on the lower end of Cortlandt and Valley Streets due to the Metro North commuters parking on those streets and taking away spaces from the local residents. Trustee DiFelice moved, second by Trustee Alter to open the public hearing, carried. Linda David commented that Mrs. Brand sought out comments from residents in the area and they are very supportive of this amendment.

Public Comments-Agenda Items Haig Bohigan commented that he sympathized with those who live on the corner of Farrington Avenue but stated that this is a situation that has been there for a long time and making changes would create more traffic for other streets.

By Order of the Board of Trustees Dated: October 10, 1997 Angela Everett, Deputy Village Clerk �PHILIPSE MANOR IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION at p/ufa? :-.;\ '•:.i / ! 6 ic:- Sean Treacy, Mayor and Sleepy Hollow Board of Trustees Village of Sleepy Hollow 28 Beekman Avenue Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591 Re: Amendment of Article 13 Octobe/l4,1997 c£/£L/b Date: 10/13/97 In regard to the proposed amendment of Article 13 of the Vehicle and Traffic code "to prohibit y turns at all times from Rt. 9 to the north fork of the island on Farrington Avenue," the PMIA—rlLh/\JL***ib Board has asked that I reiterate the results of a traffic survey the PMIA undertook about 10 and a X u ^ ^ / half months ago. In this survey, which was mailed to all the households in the Philipse Manor f^fiuQ neighborhood, one of the pertinent results was as follows:" there was no overwhelming sentiment to alter the existing traffic patterns. 97% want to keep the triangles at Broadway (Rte 9), with 88% wanting them preserved as Visual and sound barriers.' Only 26% favored cul-desacs [i.e., closing off Manor streets where they flow into Rt. 9] " Closing off (at the request of one household) one side of a triangle (at the junction of Farrington and Broadway) creates a partial cul-de-sac. More interesting from the point of view of the neighborhood as a whole, the granting of this request would seem to imply that households at the junction of the ten Manor streets and Broadway should enjoy a special gatekeeper function—that is, the power to decide whether or not the traffic pattern by their house is too dangerous and thus that their street should be closed off to Broadway. (Usually one does not acquire a house expecting that one has the right to exercise this function-which influences the access and aesthetics of an entire neighborhood.) Only 28% of respondents favored treating the streets in anything other than an identical fashion. Since 74% of the responding households did not favor cul-de-sacs or partial cul-de-sacs (which is essentially what a change closing a triangle or part of a triangle to all turns at all times is), this change cannot be interpreted as representative of the desires of the neighborhood as a whole. i Another consideration is whether or not all other possible remedies have been tried. For example, is the fence which blocks the view and makes the driveway access difficult actually in line with the village code for fencing and if not should it be moved or lowered, or could it be replaced with a chain link fence at the point at which the view is being blocked? Is Farrington itself as wide as it could be there, or could it be widened, without shrinking the triangle, for better driveway access? Could more or brighter streetlights be installed at this junction to provide better night visibility? These remedies would more closely reflect the desires, as characterized by the survey, of Philipse Manor residents than establishing a new precedent of i �PHILIPSE MANOR IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION Scan Treacy, Mayor and Sleepy Hollow Board of Trustees October 14, 1997 Page 2 giving a few households bordering Rt. 9 the decision power to create cul-de-sacs or partial culde-sacs for the entire Philipse Manor neighborhood. I am requesting that this letter concerning the PMIA survey be read at the Oct. 21st hearing and put into the record. The PMIA would like to be given an opportunity to review the plan, if any, for a new traffic pattern being imposed on Farrington Avenue where it meets Broadway. We are concerned that Philipse Manor not be subjected to a patchwork of varying, incompatible and aesthetically-unappealing solutions to traffic problems of the neighborhood streets where they intersect Broadway. The PMIA Board requests that it continue to be updated on the progress of this issue. Sincerely, Zj^$r Richard A. Piano P/esident, PMIA cc: Linda E. David, Administrator/Clerk �Cv October 3, 1997 Chief of Police Sleepy Hollow Police Department 28 Beekman Avenue Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591 S & MM/O£+ A ^ &**£ ^ / j / £L£ t0(%4 A r> /O / dlliA, (ffC^^ *****' * , U Dear Chief: flutf* • V* The residents of Pocantico Street are extremely concerneaaoout the increased usage of this street as a commercial thoroughfare. While the new stop sign placed on Pocantico and Elm Streets has succeeded in slowing down the traffic, an incredible amount of noise is created day and night by trucks and commercial tour busses using Pocantico Street as a short-cut between Route 9 and Beekman Avenue. Additionally, there is great concern for the children who are dropped off by school busses at Pocantico and Elm Streets as well as the children walking home from W.L. Morse School. Stop signs are not alleviating this problem. We believe that the majority of the commercial vehicles are using Pocantico Street only as a short cut, and it should not be permitted. Every day it gets worse. On October 2 begining at 7:00 am and continuing throughout the day, large dump trucks ran back and forth between Route 9 and Beekman Avenue with Black top. Every day there are very large trucks, Budweiser, Mayflower, Robison Oil, APA transport, Coca-cola, Agro Tree Service, several tow trucks and cement trucks utilize Pocantico Street. On many days the Budweiser truck makes a U-turn at Pocantico and Elm Streets. This causes concern as the driver must pull into Elm Street and then back out onto Pocantico Street to proceed towards Beekman Avenue. There are 5 ton weight limit signs posted at both ends of Pocantico Street. According to the Village Code Book section 57-43 states: "No person, firm, or corporation shall cause or permit his, her or its truck, trailer or other commercial vehicle, if having a gross vehicle weight in excess of five (5) tons, to travel on any street in the Village of North Tarrytown, except the following: Northbound: River Street, Beekman Avenue, North Broadway and/or Bedford Road Southbound: Bedford Road, North Broadway, Beekman Avenue, Valley Street or River Street." With this in mind, the residents of Pocantico Street respectfully request that your department enforce this traffic ordinance. Commercial vehicles should use Beekman Avenue and Route 9 and not cut through a residential neighborhood. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

In the 1820's Washington Irving earned himself an international reputation and put this young democracy on the literary map with "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." It was here on the eastern banks of the Hudson River that he set his rollicking tale of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman. After years of writing about his beloved valley and its people, he last saw its gentle waters from the home he built here on its shores. We are writing you, Mr. President, to ask your help in ensuring the preservation and survival of this beautiful natural resource by declaring it an American Heritage River. The enclosed resolution presents twelve reasons that we hope you will agree are strong ones in support of our request. One of these reasons, number ten, is especially urgent. You are probably aware that General Motors Corporation has just closed its nearly century-old factory in Sleepy Hollow, leaving us a vast tract ofriverfrontproperty to redevelop. At this time in the history of the Hudson Valley, your designation of the river �/ 4 as an American treasure would be critical to the future of an entire region of the country.

Present: Sean Treacy, Mayor Morris Alter Jose A. Chevere, Jr. Michael Collins Mario DeFelice Patrick J. Munroe Patricia P. Ramsey Trustees Also present: Linda E. David, Administrator Janel Gandolfo, Attorney Meeting called to order. 1. Basketball League - Board agreed to support this new program. I was requested to send a letter to Tarrytown Village Administrator requesting their support so we can proceed with this joint program. 2. Various GM "scenarios" were presented to the Board by the Treasurer relative to the fiscal impact of various revaluation amounts. 3. The Board was made aware of the necessity to bond various village capital projects totalling $225,000. Mace Alter moved and Pat Munroe seconded and Board voted five in favor with two abstentions (Mario DeFelice and Pat Ramsey) to proceed with a $230,000 capital projects bond. Treasurer Sanjay Shah will place the necessary resolutions on the Board's calendar for November 18th. 4. The Board of Trustees voted unanimously 7-0 to approve the transfer of eleven non-union employees from MEBCO/POMCO to the Empire Plan and authorized the Village Administrator to make the necessary notifications to operationalize this action. 5. After a review of Mr. Requeijo's request for the Village Board of Trustees to reconsider his application for a street opening permit, the Board voted unanimously to uphold the decision of the DPW foreman to deny the request to construct a driveway since it would take away a parking space on a street with very limited parking. The Village Administrator will notify the resident of the Board's action. �6. The Board voted unanimously to hold the next Public Meeting on November 18,1997. The "usual" monthly schedule of meetings is abbreviated due to the Election and Veterans Day Holidays. The newspaper will be duly notified. 7. After much discussion, the Board voted 6-0 to prohibit right turns at all times from Route 9 onto Farrington Avenue and passed the necessary resolution to send it along to the New York State Department of State and Department of Transportation. The Mayor did not vote on this issue. 8. The Board discussed the request of the Veterans to expand the existing monument at Patriot's Park at a cost of $300,000. The Board unanimously approved their request to write a letter of support on behalf of their fund raising efforts and to use our own in-house expertise and assistance from DPW/Parks Department's equipment and manpower. However, due to fiscal restraints the Board could not support these efforts with any Village funds. 9. The Board voted unanimously to call for a public hearing on November 18, 1997 at 8:00 p.m. to install new signs at the end of Gory Brook Road on both sides of the street to read: "No Parking after Sunset" This will discourage littering, noise and late hour disturbances. 10. Discussion on tabled resolutions from the October 21,1997 meeting led to the unanimous passage of Resolution 10-127-97, a $25 fee for the use of a smoke test machine, and Resolution 10-125-97 that increases the penalty for doing plumbing work without a permit from $50 to $250. Still tabled: — Resolution to adopt a $50 fee for each on-site inspection by a Village Inspector. — Resolution that a plumbing permit must be obtained for all plumbing work over $300. 2 �Public Hearing Notice Village of Sleepy Hollow PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, October 21,1997 at 8:00 PM or soon thereafter in Village Hall, 28 Beekman Avenue, Sleepy Hollow, New York to hear and consider amending Article 13 of the Vehicle & Traffic code to prohibit turns at all times from Route 9 to the north fork of the island on Farrington Avenue.

O C C H I O G R O S S O October 22.1997 ~=? Mr. Sean Treacy, Mayor Board of Trustees Village of Sleepy Hollow 20 Beekman Avenue Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591 Dear Mayor Treacy and the Board of Trustees: Upon reflection on l3st night's Board Meeting regarding the Issue of traffic flow on Farrington Avenue I would like to offer the following comments for consideration at your next work session when discussing this Issue. Safety: Trustee Munroe's comments focused on the most Important issue facing the L-~.n - i..;.: %.. t.-*-•:.,. I \,jii'.:l vr$2 the Board to keep that at the forefront of all discussions. I live on Merlin Avenue and appreciate the wisdom of the Village's decision to limit access to Merlin Avenue. The safety of the residents, and the resident's quality of life, has noticeably improved since the signs were installed. Aesthetics: Henry Steiner's remarks regarding the aesthetics of the "no left" signage are, in my opinion, irrelevant In the face of the safety issue. While he may not find anything aesthetically pleasing about the no left signs, I wonder how aesthetically pleasing he would find a car wrapped around a tree, or a car overturned on his neighbor's lav/n as happened on Merlin Avenue about six years ago. Accident Rates: Hugh Jones quoted the Keyes survey as saying our accident rate is below that of the State average. The State average includes all of NY City's streets, the Thruway, the Taconic. the Sprain Brook, the Bronx River, etc., etc. Does anyone think its fair to compare the Village's accident rate with any of those roadways? I am happy that we're below the State average but that doesn't appear to be any reason to ignore the actual results experienced in the Village. If the Village's actions to restrict turns on any of the Manor streets prevent just one accident, I would think that is a positive result. PMIA Survey: This letter reflects my own personal opinions and not the view of the PMIA. However, as a member of, and a director of the PMIA, I address this survey topic with some embarrassment. The survey, while a noble attempt by the PMIA to elicit Manor resident's opinions, was a flawed document which was prematurely distributed to Manor residents without the benefit of being edited to an acceptable format by all the PMIA directors. As a college graduate with an advanced degree in finance and also being a CPA I feel I have a fair amount of intelligence. However trying to decipher the survey and deal with the ambiguity/redundancy of the survey questions was not an easy task. Additionally, when the first survey apparently didn't return the responses certain members of the PMIA wanted to hear, the PMIA then sent out a second survey which was extremely biased against the signage on Devries, Merlin and Palmer seeking opinions to remove the signs. This second survey elicited approximately 40 responses from the 4$ M g R t i N A V f i N U E • S L E E P Y H O L L O W • NY • 1 0 S 9 1 PHONE: 6 31-3504 �- 2 - October 22,1997 Manor basically split on the topic. Not exactly the kind of response that should have an impact on tho Village's decision process. A Master Plan: The idea of having a master plan for all the Manor streets Is a good one, ospecially in the face of General Motor's proposals for tho site, one of which includes access to the GM site through Philipse Manor. The response to one of the clearer questions in the PMIA survey was almost unanimous in not providing access to the GM site through the Manor. If the Manor closed all the streets other than Pierson and Bellwood, a strong case could be made that these two access points were only adequate for the Manor and could not handle the additional traffic of what could possibly be a 2000 unit residential development. I would urge all Manor residents who are against closing the streets to consider the impact of having all of the streets being available to access the GM site. That being said, a Master plan, if one is to be done, should not be used as an excuse to stop this process now. The Village should a d d r e s s the issue of Farrington Avenue by limiting the access as requested. The Keyes Study: As the Mayor clearly stated, the Village has been put on notice by a study which the Village commissioned and paid for, that there are safety Issues which need to be addressed. At the very least the concerns of the residents of 3 Farrington should be addressed immediately. In the event of a serious accident at one of these intersections, the potential of the Village's own survey being used in a lawsuit against the Village is a real possibility. Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend next Tuesday's work session but am confident the Board will focus on the safety aspects of this issue. When voting on the issue, 1 urge the Board to consider the repercussions to the Village, and their own personal feelings, if there Is a serious accident which could have been prevented by a sign v/hich wasn't installed because you were afraid of offending someone's aesthetic sensibilities. cc: Linda David Richard Piano Diane Hegerty Mary Ellen Maun �Meeting Date: 10-28-97 Resolution # s 10-124-97 Bo It resolved that the Board off Trustees does hereby amend the Vehicle and Traffic Code of the Village of Sleepy Hollow, Chapter 57, Article XIII, Section §57-63 to add the following paragraph: §57-63(E) No right turns from Route 9 (North Broadway) onto Farrlngton Avenue Right turns are prohibited from Route 9 onto Farrlngton Avenue at all times.

Chicf �Firefighters forced to cross nty bordersfortraining * • Westchester's training center needs more staff, new equipment By Robert Marchartt Staff Writer Equipment problems and staffing shortages at Westchester County's fire training center in Valhalla are sending firefighters outside the county to learn firefighting techniques. Twenty years ago, the center was hailed as one of the finest fire academies in the country. Now, Westchester firefighters are journeying to Rockland and Putnam counties, lured by larger training staffs, more advanced equipment and greater scheduling flexibility than is found at the Westchester County Fire Training Center. Firefighters are not happy about the situation. "We just don't understand why — and we're Westchester taxpayers — we have to go to Rockland," said James Brown Sr., the Tarrytown Fire Department's secretary and a former chief. "Why should we need to go to Rockland County? Why should we need to pay for our training?" The answer seems to be that a lack of county supervision, poor maintenance and_ years of stringent budgets have taken their toll, local firefighters say. County officials say improvements are being made to ease the problems, and they note that the center's budget was increased by about $300,000 this year. The difference between fire training in Rockland and Westchester still shows a wide disparity, however. Rockland's center trains 50,000 firefighters a year; Westchester drains 10,000. Rockland has 43 instructors; Westchester has six. Rockland, with a population one-third of Westchester's 900,000 residents, spends $1.1 Please see TRAINING, 2A �,-V * « - , * * <,!,,,.,, ,.,. ,.,.-^^r.^t, :: '.••:••-" 'ilSSSf 818--ii1i A &ff'3a\*& ~ SB-I &* W''58MB& • flit - - ; - ^ •Vr>*W.'V 3 ...ii*i. —-.fitfsirifi • «uHitnt»aSjrtc* I tt ? s s»jIt?itl|jj ||f gin nil E*.r e I! 3 P- i ?itl|t : gfau fgf!

These reports are vital in a pre plan of a particular location. The Chiefs appreciate the information that Building Inspector James Margotta has supplied to them of inspections made by Mr. Margolin on possible problem areas in the Village. The fire council request a response in writing as to the number of inspections and copies of same performed by the present Code Enforcement Officer since December 1996. The council also request the number of hours per week the Code Enforcement position is required to dedicate to inspections of Code Violations. This council hopes that the safety of our personnel and the safety of the residents of the Village of Sleepy Hollow arc a primary concern, and that all effort is made to comply with this councils requests in a timely manner. lly submitted Submitted Richard N.Gross, Council Secretary 2nd Assistant Chief S.H.F.D. cc: Village Administrator Mayor Sean Trcacy Deputy Clerk Angela Everett I �SLEEPY HOLLOW FIRE DEPARTMENT Fire Patrol r»r„ m 7 * «.._.», Robert Moon p ^ g * u !

Present: Mayor Sean Treacy Trustee Morris Alter Trustee Patrick Munroe Trustee Michael Collins Trustee Mario DiFelice Trustee Jose Chevere Also present: Village Attorney Janet Gandolfo Absent: Trustee Patricia Ramsey Meeting was called to order by Mayor Sean Treacy at 8 P.M. The attached resolution was moved by Trustee Michael Collins and seconded by Trustee Jose Chevere. After discussion, the motion was carried unanimously, after discussion. Respectfully submitted, Janet Gandolfo, Acting Secretary �Meeting date: 11-25-97 Resolution # : 11-139-97 Whereas, the Town of Mount Pleasant Industrial Development Agency (the "IDA"), a public benefit corporation of the State of New York (the -State") established and existing under Article 18-A of the General Municipal Law (the "Act"), and particularly Section 927 of the Act, and General Motors Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("GM") entered Into a Lease Agreement, dated September 13,1985 (the "Lease") relating to the issuance of Industrial Development Bonds In the principal amount of $175,000,000 (the "Bonds") for the express and sole purpose of financing the renovation and expansion of a building to be used as a paint shop in the manufacturing of automobiles (the "Project", as so defined In the Lease) at GM's facility (the "Facility") located In the Village of Sleepy Hollow (formerly known as the Village of North Tarrytown), a municipal corporation of the State (the "Village"); and Whereas, GM has recently obtained a demolition permit to demolish and remove the Facility and all structures on the site; and �Whereas, the Project, as Intended in the Bond documents, Is no longer In existence; and Whereas, the Bonds mature by their terms on June 1 , 2015, which Is also the stated termination date off the Lease during which period GM Is entitled to enjoy all the benefits conferred on GM in and by the Lease, the Bonds and an Indenture off Trust, dated September 13,1985, by and between the IDA and The First National Bank off Chicago, as trustee (the "Indenture"); and Whereas, one off the benefits conferred on GM in the Issuance off the Bonds was a Payment in Lieu off Taxes Agreement, dated as off September 13,1985, by and between GM and the IDA (the "PILOT"), wherein GM, as lessee under the Lease, would pay the IDA, ffor the benefit of the applicable taxing jurisdictions, including the Village, amounts through 1995 which were substantially less than the ad valorem taxes which would be levied by the applicable taxing jurisdictions, Including the Village, were title to the Project not conveyed to the IDA in connection with the issuance off the Bonds; and Whereas, pursuant to the terms off the PILOT, the Facility was to be revalued In 1995 and periodically thereafter to determine PILOT payments from January 1 , 1996 through June 1 , 2015, the termination off the Lease; and �Whereas, In 1995 OM gave notice to the IDA and the applicable taxing jurisdictions, Including the Village, that It was closing, terminating and abandoning the Project and declaring the Project to be Its surplus property; and Whereas, In return for amending a local law entitled "Environmental Protection and Abandoned Industrial Property Reclamation Law" GM and the Village agreed in 1996 to a series off terms regarding the closure of the facility, one such term was that GM agreed to make PILOT payments in 1996 and 1997 at the same level as PILOT payments made in 1995; and Whereas, on June 28,1996 GM closed, terminated and abandoned the Project; and Whereas, on March 3,1997, an Independent appraiser engaged by GM under the terms of the PILOT delivered an appraisal of the Facility to the IDA (the "Appraisal"), which placed a value on the Facility, Including the closed, terminated and abandoned Project, which would produce PILOT payments under the terms of the PILOT worth only 17% of the PILOT payments made In 1995, and by agreement with GM, In 1996 and 1997, and reduce the Village 1998-99 fiscal year revenues by at least 30%; and �Whereas, the Village rejected the Appraisal In June 1997 and called for a second appraisal to be made of the Facility, whereupon such appraisal (the "Second Appraisal") was delivered to the Village in August 1997; and Whereas, the Second Appraisal placed a value on the Facility, including the closed, terminated and abandoned Project, which would produce PILOT payments under the terms of the PILOT worth In excess of 58% of the PILOT payments made in 1995, and by agreement with GM, in 1996 and 1997, and thereby mitigate the reduction of revenues in the Village's 1998-99 fiscal year; and Whereas, from and after August, 1997 the Village has called upon GM to discuss increasing PILOT payments in 1998 and thereafter taking In account the Second Appraisal and GM has not at any time responded to the Village's calls; and Whereas, the Village Is required to establish the taxable value of the Facility, including the closed, terminated and abandoned Project, not later than February 1,1998 for its 1998-99 fiscal year, and accepting PILOT payments based on the value of the Facility set forth In the Appraisal would cause Immediate and Irreparable fiscal distress to the village, and Jeopardize the public safety and �welfare off all persons and property within the Village, such that to prevent and mitigate such fiscal distress and secure such public safety and welfare It Is required off the governing body off the Village to take all necessary, lawful and prudent measures to terminate the Lease, terminate the benefits conferred upon GM under the PILOT, effect the conveyance of the Project to GM, and assess the Facility and the Project at its full taxable value as determined by the Village assessor. Now therefore be it resolved by the Board off Trustees off the Village off Sleepy Hollow, located in the County off Westchester, State of New York, as follows: Section 1 . The IDA is hereby requested to give notice of a public hearing and hold such hearing and thereafter to determine, upon the evidence presented at such public hearing, that Glti Is In default under the terms off the lease, In particular GM's representation in section 2.2(7) off the Lease to operate and maintain the Project as a paint shop In the manufacturing off automobiles continuously until June 1 , 2015. Section 2. The IDA is hereby requested at such public hearing to further determine that the continuation of the Lease will cause (I) economic frustration In the purposes for which the Bonds were Issued in that GM Is not now nor ever �will be conducting Industrial economic development activities at the Facility or the Project and Is, therefore, not entitled to enjoy the benefits conferred upon It In the PILOT until June 1 , 2015, (II) fiscal distress In the operation of public safety and other required operations of the Village Insofar as the Village's revenues will be reduced by over 30% in 1998 and thereafter, (III) Impairment of the public safety and welfare of persons and property In the Village, on account of such fiscal distress, and that, therefore and in addition to GM's default under the Lease, the Lease should be terminated at the earliest reasonable date. Section 3. Upon the holding of a public hearing and the making of the determinations as aforesaid, the IDA is requested and directed to (I) give written notice to The First National Bank of Chicago, as trustee, and to GM, under Section 7.2(3) of the Indenture, that on account of GM's default under the Lease, the Lease is terminated effective immediately, and (ii) execute and deliver a deed to GM conveying all the IDA'S right, title and interest in and to the Facility and the Project, to GM. �Section 4.
