re: Village Historian's Report
Dear Gentlemen:
I enjoy working as Sleepy Hollow's village historian, and I thought it might be appropriate to give
you an idea of what I have been doing in that role.
"What does a village historian do?" This is the question I have heard from friends involved in the
village governments of other Westchester villages who were in the process of appointing a village
historian. All I could offer was a description of what I was doing and suggest that a village
historian should use his best judgment and try to accomplish as much as he can with the time and
resources available to him. Here is an recap of what I have been doing, and I would be glad to
hear your comments:
Correspondence

I have attempted to reply to phone, mail and email inquiries which
have been addressed to me as village historian. The staff at village
hall has been kind enough to forward inquiries to me. On one
occasion, at the request of Trustee Munroe, I wrote a letter in
support of the application to name the Hudson River an "American
Heritage River."

Books

Although my book projects do not represent official actions, they
certainly tie-in with the village's history and my role as village
historian. My hope is that my books will inform the public about
what is historically unique about our village The Place Names of
Historic Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown was published this summer
by Heritage Books in Maryland. (Please note that the Village of
Sleepy Hollow is mentioned first in the title, as it should be—
alphabetically.) I have also completed a new book relating to the
history of the area entitled "A Historically Annotated "Legend of
Sleepy Hollow. " It is slated for publication this year.

Lectures

As village historian 1 have lectured to a number of groups:
architecture students at the City University of New York, social

�311
studies classes at Washington Irving School, and various civic and
cultural groups.

i

I

Media

On occasion I have been contacted by the media to comment on
matters relating to local history.

Website

For the past year and a half I have maintained a simply-constructed,
unofficial web page to inform the public about some of the unique
historic features of our village. To date, this site has hosted over
nine thousand visitors. (The web page can be found by going to
"Yahoo" and typing key words— Sleepy Hollow Home Page.)

Kidd'sRock

In August, 1997,1 began an effort to restore and mark Kidd's
Rock, one of this village's surviving, but neglected, landmarks
Westchester County owns Kingsland Point Park— where the rock
is located. I am happy to report that this fall the county responded
through the good offices of County Representative Sue Swanson
and Parks Commission Sal DeSantis. The rock has now been
partially restored and properly marked with an attractive sign which
will enable future generations to appreciate the cultural significance
of the landmark. I provided the text displayed on the sign.

The Pocantico Trout

Another project with a historic tie-in has been the restoration of the
Pocantico River as a trout stream. I believe that this project, which
the village board continues to support, is something which
transcends sport fishing. It is an ongoing work of environmental
and cultural conservation, with educational dividends.

Research

I have responded to requests from the mayor and others for
information on particular aspects of local history.

Inventory of assets

One of thefirstactions I took as village historian was a review of
what I considered to be the village's important historic assets. An
inventory is a logical first step, but it is value is small unless some
action is taken to protect our historic treasures from harm—or even
restore them. Our unique, historic village should institute its own
register of historic places and adopt regulations to safe-guard the
heirlooms and icons of our shared, historic legacy.

These are some of the activities which have occupied me as village historian. I am available to
consult with you on any matter which may have a historical component such as village literature,
signage, content for the new, official village web page, etc.
There are other projects which I would like to take-on—given world and time enough. One idea
(suggested about two years ago by Mayor Treacy) was the idea of a "living history" of our

i

�village. In other words, get the comments and recollections of village old-tamers on tape as a
record for future generations. I think this could yield an invaluable document. It could be done on
audio or video tape and transcribed. It would probably require the cooperation of some repository
such as the historical society or the library, and a production budget, the size of which would
depend on the scope of the project. If the village board would like a detailed proposal for a
project of this sort I hope you will contact me.
I believe it would be desirable to review village documents and records periodically for material of
historic value which should be archived—particularly any documents scheduled to be purged.
This kind of process would of course require access, budgeting and a suitable repository for the
records.
I welcome your collective or individual comments, questions and suggestions about how I can
better serve the village through my work in this capacity.

The Mayor responded that any trustee who can attend is welcome at any time.
Mr. Galella asked about the firing range bid and why we hired someone to help us
apply for grants.
The Mayor responded that the bid for the firing range was much too high so we do
not have to accept it. To hire someone for a small amount of money to help us get a
great deal in grants is a very wise decision for the village.
Don Caetano asked Trustee Alter about the building materials on the curb put out
by a homeowner; Trustee Alter responded that Charles Point is no longer accepting
this type of material from the village. This information was put in the flyers that
were sent out recently.

Meeting Date: 02-22-99
Resolution #: 02-30-99
Whereas, cities, towns and villages in Westchester County are severely restricted
in their revenue base, with real property tax as their main source of revenue
constantly rising and putting a disproportionate burden on the property owner:
and
Whereas, the County Executive and the Board of Legislators advocated and
approved the distribution of sales tax revenue to the cities, towns, villages and
school districts, in accordance with Chapter 272 of the Laws of 1991.
Now therefore, be it resolved, that the Village of Sleepy Hollow hereby requests
our State representatives to support a two-year extension on Article 29. Section
1262-b of the tax law entitled 1991 Property Tax Relief Act, which said law
presently has a sunset provision of May 31,2000; and
Be it further resolved, that by copy of this resolution we urge our
representatives to support the extension of the 1991 Property Tax Stabilization
and Relief Act until such time as New York State Aid to Local Governments is
restored.

Meeting Date: 03-01-99
Resolution # : 03-31-99

WHEREAS, the Equalization Rates for the various municipalities vary, often to
the detriment of taxpayers who find that disparities in the calculations of these
rates cause some communities' residents to pay a higher County Tax Rate
notwithstanding the overall reduction of the County tax: and
WHEREAS, if properties were assessed at their true value, rather than a
percentage of true value, the use of an equalization rate would become
unnecessary; and
WHEREAS, for property to be assessed at true value, it would be necessary for a
revaluation to take place which would be fair and equitable, and should be
done countywide; and
WHEREAS, in order for that to be accomplished, it would require new State
Legislation which had previously been vetoed by the Governor.

�33
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of
Sleepy Hollow hereby request that the County Board of Legislators t&amp;U*
whatever action Is required to re-initiate Legislation calling for a County-wide
revaluation of County Properties, with such legislation to be so enacted as to
protect and equalize the percentage reductions presently granted to Veterans
and Senior Citizens; and

I

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of the Resolution be forwarded to the
County Board of Legislators, and also to the Villages. Towns and Cities within
the County of Westchester, requesting them to pass similar resolutions to be
forwarded to the County Board of Legislators.

if significant disputed tax assessments are not collected, the surplus could become a
deficit; the Treasurer agreed.

�Public Works Report
April 13, 1999
Spring clean-up of yard waste has started.
Please tie up brush in bundles of no longer than 5 foot lengths and leaves must be
bagged.
Pick-up of yard waste takes place on Mondays, therefore residents are urged to put
this out before 7 AM on Mondays and not during the week.
A road survey is being done to determine which roads need to be repaved this
upcoming season. Road re-paving is financed through CHIPS and SHIPS grant
funds.
The sidewalk project along Beekman Avenue is moving along smoothly.
Tree trimming/removal is ongoing.
Anyone needing a recycling bin can obtain one at the garage on River Street.
The street lighting program will resume in June.
With the renovation of the third floor offices, a new storage area has been created. It
is advisable that the court records now stored in the basement be moved to this
storage area on the third floor where it is dry and free of moisture. The third floor
is accessible by elevator but the basement is not. This area provides more security
since there are four offices on the third floor and there is always someone here
during the day.

�Parks Report

i

I

Recently I met with Joe DeFeo and we took a tour of the parks system and discussed
the priorities needed to upgrade and improve all of our parks. We have scheduled
future meetings in order to prioritize which parks need the most attention.
The recreation building at Devries field is nearing completion.
The paving around the building and the park area will start after April 15th when
the blacktop plant opens for the season.

A Public Hearing on the proposed budget for the Village of Sleepy Hollow
for the fiscal year 1999-2000 was held on Wednesday, April 14,1999 at 8:00 PM in
Village Hall, 28 Beekman Avenue, Sleepy Hollow, New York.

Trustees

Also Present:
Absent:

Sanjay Shah, Village Treasurer

Trustee E&gt;onald Stever
Robert Ponzini, Village Attorney

Mayor Zegarelli opened the hearing to order with a pledge to the flag at 8:15 PM.
The Village Treasurer, Sanjay Shah gave a brief summary on the proposed budget.
He explained that the equalization rate is being challenged by our Village Assessor,
Bob Balog since the tax levy for homestead will be higher than non -homestead.
Homestead properties; are one and two family homes and non-homestead properties
are three or more families and commercial buildings.
Mayor Zegarelli commented that we have asked for a two week extension on this
matter.
Public Comments
Mario Belanich asked why we had to borrow money if the village had a surplus.
The Mayor commented that there is no surplus and therefore we will take out a
bond anticipation note which we will pay within a year; we will also be raising the
water rates approximately 33%. He commented that he will be going to Albany on
Friday to make our pitch for money.
John Jadus questioned the $200,000. 00 surplus. The Mayor commented that there
is no surplus and the water fund is drained.
Frank Rey commented on the $100,000.00 surplus in the water fund being
transferred to the general fund therefore depleting it making it necessary to raise the
water rates. He wanted to know how much was spent on legal costs defending our
case against GM. He also asked about hiring more police officers.

1

i

�&lt;P**
Mayor Zegarelli commented that we will get him those figures. It will take time to
restore the monies to the water fund which we do need because of a lot of water and
sewer projects coming up. He also commented on the manpower needs of not only
the police but the highway department, but things do not happen overnight.
There being no further comments, Trustee DiFelice moved, seconded by Trustee
Rodriguez to close the public hearing, motion carried.

I

Mayor Zegarelli called a special meeting to approve the attached resolutions
regarding three upcoming court cases.
Approval of Warrants
Trustee Higle moved, seconded by Trustee Laub to approve the warrants of April
13,1999 for a total of $87,402.68 and authorize the treasurer to pay the bills,
motion carried 5-0.
Trustee DiFelice moved, seconded by Trustee Hart to adjourn the special meeting,
motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,

Trustees

Also Present: Sanjay Shah, Village Treasurer
Robert Ponzini, Village Attorney
Mayor Zegarelli opened the meeting with a prayer. He asked that everyone remain
standing for a moment of silence for Robert Powers who passed away last week and
for all those who are suffering in mind and spirit as a result of the events in
Colorado.
The Mayor called the meeting to order with a pledge to the flag.
Before starting the regular order of business, Fire Chief Cellante and Elmer
Kenyon, President of Pocantico Hook and Ladder presented Chick Galella a
certificate for fifty years of service to the fire department. Chick Galella thanked
them and urged people to join the Fire Department and Ambulance Corp.
Public Hearings-None
Approval of Minutes
Trustee DiFelice moved, seconded by Trustee Hart to approve the minutes of April
5, 1999 as written, motion carried 6-0.
Trustee Hart moved, seconded by Trustee Higle to approve the minutes of April 13,
1999 with minor corrections/additions, motion carried 6-0.
On the minutes for March 29,1999, Trustee Stever commented although the
majority of the previous board is no longer here, he would just like to add one
addition to the paragraph regarding the comment made by the Treasurer regarding
the surplus fund. With that addition, Trustee Hart moved, seconded by Trustee
Higle that these minutes become part of the official minutes, carried.
Public Comments
Scott Horecky commented on the possibility of full time employees in the Parks
Department. The Mayor commented that we are working on our budget and
considering that possibility but there is so much that is needed in the village that it
is impossible to accomplish everything overnight, but we will try to meet the needs
of the Recreation Department halfway.

�Mr. Horecky commented that the village should look into the possibility of having a
volunteer game warden to police the Pocantico River for the catch and release
program. The Mayor stated that this is a good idea not only for those fishing but
for deer hunters also.
Ugo Checchi offered the board his services pro bono to check on repairs that need to
be done in this building and the fire houses.
Mayor Zegarelli thanked Mr. Checchi for his offer but explained that right now the
building needs major repairs, such as windows, heating, air-conditioning, etc. and
we are putting money aside in the budget for this . Thereafter, we might have
someone check the buildings periodically to *ee what needs to be done.
Joe DeFeo explained that we are in the process of getting estimates from cleaning
firms and a proposal for an overhaul of the entire building over a five year span.
The priority items that need to be done first are the roof, windows, doors and airconditioning.
Scott Horecky commented on money spent on the research done on the Duracell
property and the Assessor's bills. Trustees Stever and Hart stated that the old
invoices can be reviewed. Trustee Hart then gave a report on his review of the
previous administration's bills for March.
Trustee DiFelice wanted it noted for the record that he had voted no on paying
those bills.
Chick Galella asked why the Treasurer approved some of these bills. Sanjay Shah
explained how the vouchers are approved.
Charles Curi raised a concern over safety at the new Riverfront Park. The Mayor
stated that he has discussed some of these issues with Joe DeFeo and Chief Warren.
There is no money in the budget for increased surveillance, but we may be able to
put a camera on site. The road is a public thoroughfare so we cannot stop cars and
trucks from going through that road. He met with GM representatives regarding
the possibility of our public works employees parking their vehicles at the lower end
of their employees' parking lot which would alleviate some of the congestion.
Mayor's Report
Mayor Zegarelli reported that the village will be hiring a consulting engineering
firm tonight and read the attached resolution regarding the hiring of Jerry Fine
of Robert Folchetti and Associates.
Mayor Zegarelli commented that the burden of the tax increase will be on the one
and two family home owners (homestead properties) due to the increase in the value
of these homes.
Mayor Zegarelli reported that he met with Paul Janos, Mayor of Tarry town, and
Nick Robinson, Chairman of the Planning Board, to discuss the possibility of
creating an advisory board between the two villages to deal with issues that affect

�both villages. Representatives from Cooney Brothers have approached the Mayor
on a proposal on their piece of property.
The Mayor gave an update on General Motors. He reported that the fire that
occurred there recently was the first one since the demolition began.
He commented that General Motors has agreed to pay for a portion of the bicycle
patrol and communications with their representatives has been very good.
The Hudson River Towns of Westchester has asked that we have representatives
attend their events and the Mayor asked that Trustees DiFelice and Rodriguez

Be it resolved that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow
does hereby support the Village of Tarrytown in their application for CDBG
funds to further improve the Nutrition and Program Center held at North
Washington Street in Tarrytown. The seniors of the Village of Sleepy Hollow
have benefited immensely from this service, with its nourishing meals, programs
and stimulation. Many of our seniors would have no means of obtaining
regularly a hot lunch and the companionship they get at the Nutrition Center. It
is a professionally run center and deserves to have the improvements made in
order that the best possible services can be given to the elderly people it serves.

�Public Comments
MaryAnn Connolly questioned the resolution regarding the SPCA contract.
Mayor Zegarelli commented that by law you need to have an agency where people
can bring their animals to be taken care of.
Sanjay Shah gave a brief explanation commenting that the SPCA provides a shelter
for stray dogs.
MaryAnn Connolly asked if there was a quota system on the number of summonses
a Police Officer must issue. She also commented that when you are watching the
meeting at home every little sound like the rustling of papers is picked up and it is
difficult to hear.
Chief Warren responded there is not a quota system.
Mario Belanich also asked about the SPCA contract and the Mayor explained.
The Mayor will contact the Town of Mt. Pleasant on the matter of animal control
Miguel Jimenez and George Samaras wanted to know why we couldn't hire three
new Police Officers instead of the three transfers. They stated that it would save the
village a lot of money.
Mario Belanich commented that we could hire a police dispatcher instead of a Police
Officer and asked about the shopping cart situation and tag sale signs.
Mayor Zegarelli commented that new officers need to be trained before going on
duty and we need officers who are already trained for the upcoming summer
months and the overtime spent far exceeds the total of these transfers.
The shopping cart situation is a difficult one to enforce. The store owners should be
taking care of this situation before people leave the store with the carts.
Chief Warren commented that a police dispatcher cannot be left alone, he must be
supervised at all times. As far as tag sales the signs must be taken down after the
sale is over within a certain amount of time.

Mayor Zegarelli commented that we lost one court case against the village regarding
the appraisal of GM. The shortfall over two years is approximately $930,000.00.

the GM property once it is cleared.
Miguel Jimenez and George Samaras asked more questions about the reason we
hired three police officers who are transfers instead of hiring local people.

on the streets for the summer.

Hollywood Nites is a little bit better but still quite loud with the congregation of
people outside.

so, and the Building Inspector commented that they will check the code regarding
dancing as a permitted use.

situation.

Authority, informing us that according to the Public Authorities Law, we must

of bonding. Sanjay Shah is researching the name change issue and the Mayor will

�Appendix A
State Environmental Quality Review
FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM

^ ,
7 I

Purpose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a project or action
may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequently, there are
aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasurable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have
little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may not be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many
who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance.
The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination
process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible enough to allow introduction of information to fit a project or
action.
Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts:

\

Part 1:

Provides objective data and information about a given project and its site. By identifying basic project
data, it assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3.
Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It
provides guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is
a potentially-large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced.
If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not
the impact is actually important.

Part 2:

Part 3:

DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE - Type 1 anctUnlisted Actions
Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project:

•

Part 1

•

Part 2

D Part 3

Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting
information, and considering both the magnitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead
agency that:
•

A.

The project will not result in any large and important impact(s) and, therefore, is one which will
not have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be
prepared.

•

B.

Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a
significant effect for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3
have been required, therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared.*

D

C.

The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant
impact on the environment, therefore a positive declaration will be prepared.

*A Conditioned Negative Declaration is only valid for Unlisted Actions

General Information (Read Carefully)

In completing the form, the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my responses and determinations been
reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst.
The Examples provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of impacts and, wherever possible, the threshold of
magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and
for most situations. But, for any specific project or site other examples and/or lower thresholds may be appropriate for
a Potential Large Impact response, thus requiring evaluation in Part 3.
The impacts of each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are illustrative and have
been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each
question.
The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question.
In identifying impacts, consider long term, short term and cumulative effects.

b. Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers.
c. If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box(column 1 or 2)to indicate the potential size of the impact.
If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided, check column 2 . If impact will occur, but threshold is lower
than example, check column 1 .
d. Identifying that an Impact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily significant. Any
large impact must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. Identifying an impact in column 2 simply asks that
it be looked at further.
e. If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact, then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3.
f. If a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) in the project to a small to moderate

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
We, the undersigned, are homeowners and/or residents of Lawrence Avenue.
Not long ago, Meineke Muffler maintained a business at the bottom of Lawrence
Avenue, facing Route 9. The business was sold and the sign now reads "Sleepy
Hollow Auto Repair".
The present owner has made Lawrence Avenue his personal business parking lot
with every conceivable vehicle, i.e. vans, trucks, limos, cars. He uses 10 to 12
parking spaces every day and even conducts business on our street by checking
out his cars; i.e. hood up, checking oil, etc.
At 4 p.m. each day he has his worker change the cars to the opposite side of the
street, just prior to residents coming home from work. Parking was a problem
prior to this man's illegal use of our street, now it is a disaster.
This man's business and cars should be confined to his building and not be
allowed to park on our residential street A few years ago New Broadway
residents had the same problem with Tappan Motors which the Trustees
corrected immediately.
We look forward to your enforcing the law in this case, also ASAP, and give us
back our parking.

Sanjay Shah, Village Treasurer
Mayor Zegarelli commented that this special executive session was called to discuss
personnel and legal matters which are of an emergency nature.
He explained that the reason for this meeting was due to the fact that our Village
Attorney, Robert Ponzini and his partner Robert Spencer and former partner
Thomas Maroney are being disbarred as of 3:30 PM on August 27,1999 following
the action of a New York State court.
Robert Ponzini gave an explanation leading up to the disbarment and will submit
his resignation to the Board.
Discussion ensued on a replacement. Brian Murphy and Ed Lamers, attorneys
working with the firm were considered as replacements.
Trustee DiFelice commented he was against hiring anyone associated with this firm
because we know how people will react in this village.
Trustee Stever was in favor of hiring the attorneys from this firm because they are
familiar with our village problems and will help with a smooth transition.
Trustee Hart was also in favor of the hiring of these attorneys.
Mayor Zegarelli then moved that Brian Murphy be appointed as Acting Village
Counsel and Ed Lamers as Counsel to the existing projects that he now handles,
subject to the establishment of a satisfactory contract, motion was seconded by
Trustee Stever and carried 4-1 on a roll call vote. Trustees Stever, Hart, Higle, and

�Mayor Zegarelli voted yes and Trustee DiFelice voted no stating that he is not in
favor of this because he felt we need to hire an attorney outside of the original firm.
Mayor Zegarelli asked that Mr. Murphy and Mr. Lamers submit their resumes to
him.
There being no further discussion on this matter, the Board discussed a few old
business matters.
The Board discussed the use of the money left from the Facade Improvement
Program to purchase banners to be put up on the light poles on Beekman Avenue.
Trustee DiFelice moved, seconded by Trustee Stever that we pay the monies in
anticipation that we receive reimbursement from the County Awning Program,
motion carried 5-0.
Discussion ensued on the hiring of another part time Parking Enforcement Officer,
Patrick Haggerty. The Mayor moved that we hire Mr. Haggerty as part time

�To Board of Trustees
Village of Sleepy Hollow
28 Beekman Ave.
Sleepy Hollow, N.Y. 10591
We the undersigned, by this petition, request the
Board of Trustees and the Police Chief to reconsider
the directive dated August 6, 1999 prohibiting parking
on Sleepy Hollow Road on either the east or the west
side of the road from the Webber Avenue/Sleepy
Hollow Road intersection to North Street, "due to the
increase in the flow of traffic on Sleepy Hollow Road."
As residents in this section, we notice there is a slight
increase in traffic, as well as an increase in speeding
during the hours of 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM
to 6:30 PM which are normal commuting hours.
Although the letter received permits parking 50-feet
west of North Street, we find that this area has a
difficult sight line since there is a curve in the road
and most times there are many cars, vans, and trucks
parked in this area.
We feel that it is in violation of our rights as property
owners not to be able to have public parking in front
of our homes.
Perhaps a solution to this alleged problem would be
having the Police Department observe whether or not
cars actually do stop at the STOP sign at the

�I(*1
intersection of Sleepy Hollow Road and Webber
Avenue during commuting hours.
Another solution to higher than normal speed in this
area may warrant placing three way STOP signs at
the North Street intersection. .
We hereby request that reconsideration be given to
permit the residents who live in the area from the
intersection of Sleepy Hollow Road and Webber
Avenue to North Street the right to park in front of
their homes.
Respectfully submitted,

Chicken Market

On Sept 24, 1999 I made an inspection of the Chicken Market, Owned and Operated by Mr.
DeMattio, at 154 Cortlandt St., Sleepy Hollow, NY

I had a brief discussion with Mr. DeMattio and he informed me of the following
1.

Refusefromthe facility is collected 3 times per week by a private carting, A-l Compaction,
325 Yonkers Ave, Yonkers, NY 10701, 423-2092 firm (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,
the store is closed on Sunday and Tuesday)

I

2.

Saturdays garbage is kept inside, a granulated deodorant is utilized to control the odor.

3.

The New York State Department of Agriculture inspects his facility twice a month.

4.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture inspects the facility twice a years and the facility must
be closed on day per year for an overall decontamination and comprehensive cleaning .

5.

This appears to be a personal dispute between the business owner and the neighbor. Which
stemsfromthe neighbor's vehicle being damaged while it was parked, with permission from
Mr.DeMattio, in the rear of chicken market.

6.

The Health Department would have to be alerted and take the appropriate action, if any be
deemed necessary.

Valley St, Barber Shop

A new barber shop is opening on Valley St., (formerly the site of Stiloski's Liquor Store and a
Plumbing Supply Warehouse.) The Building Inspector has been on site and inspected the premise,
I have been on site and have communicated the public safety concerns, that may arise based on
the proposed usage which includes three (3) barber stations, three (3) video amusement games
and one (1) coin operated pool table.

•

The proprietor of the establishment has or will be applying for the necessary permits.
The Village Code Chapter 4, §4-2 A License Required; Application; number of devices restricted
and §4-6 Minors, addresses most of the concerns that would arise out of this proposed usage.
However, the village code does not permit video amusement devices in any premises other than a
bar or tavern. Considering the Village's long term goals, it may want to revisit this local law, with
the proper safeguards and limitation.
The owner of the establishment will be approaching the board on this matter. I am certain that
other establishments throughout the village other than the bars and taverns would like to comment
as well.

Valley St, Barber Shop

-V-

A new barber shop is opening on Valley St., (formerly the site of Stiloski's Liquor Store and a
Plumbing Supply Warehouse.) The Building Inspector has been on site and inspected the premise,
I have been on site and have communicated the public safety concerns, that may arise based on
the proposed usage which includes three (3) barber stations, three (3) video amusement games
and one (1) coin operated pool table.
The proprietor of the establishment has or will be applying for the necessary permits.
The Village Code Chapter 4, §4-2 A License Required; Application; number of devices restricted
and §4-6 Minors, addresses most of the concerns that would arise out of this proposed usage
However, the village code does not permit video amusement devices in any premises other than a
bar or tavern. Considering the Village's long term goals, it may want to revisit this local law, with
the proper safeguards and limitation.
The owner of the establishment will be approaching the board on this matter. I am obtain that
other establishments throughout the village other than the bars and taverns would like to comment
as well.

Sleepy Hollow,New York 10591

Dear Mayor and Members of the Board,

For the past three years, the Fire Department had asked that the Code Enforcement
Officer work with the department and supply copies of any inspections that were
conducted. We had numerous concerns as to the safety of the residents and the buildings
within the village. We never received an answer despite the numerous requests.
We also asked the former administration to assist us with our requests, but this also fell
on deaf ears.

I

During this period we had several major fires within the village, including a fire at 106
Depeyster Street that led to a loss of a civilian life. It was demonstrated that this building
was converted from a six family apartment house into a single room occupancy/rooming
house WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF ANY BUILDING PERMITS!
As you are well aware, our membership, like most volunteer organizations is suffering
from a decrease in the amount of active volunteers. In addition, the amount of ambulance
calls that we handle are steadily increasing.
As our membership enter buildings on an emergency call, we notice numerous violations,
but we cannot do anything to correct them.The building inspector is only a part-time
position, and in no way does he have the time or the resources to handle these violations.
Over the past three to four years, when this department would bring suspected building or
fire code violations to the attention of the former administration, we were met with

i

c^&gt;/?

�political bureaucracy.Politics and political favors have no place in the safety of the
village residents and of the membership of your fully volunteer fire department.
The structures in the southern part of this village are mostly of older construction. We
find many that are not properly maintained. In addition,they are built closely upon each
other which can contribute to the spread of fire. Also, many of these units may be
overcrowded. A full time fire inspector would uncover any overcrowding before a
catastrophe occurs.
Now the Village is facing major contruction over the next several years which would lead
to rapid growth and insurmountable work load for a part-time building inspector and
part-time fire inspector.
Therefore, on behalf of the membership of the Sleepy Hollow Fire Department I
respectfully request that you the Mayor and the members of the board of Trustees
strongly consider the appointment of a FULL-TIME CERTIFIED AND EXPERIENCED
FIRE INSPECTOR to help alleviate our concerns and to insure the safety of the residents
in our Village.
The creation of this position would allow the fire inspector to concentrate on the fire/life
safety inspections throughout the village on an orderly and productive basis. Finding the
violations is one thing, enforcing correction is another matter.
Please also note that our village has a fire sprinkler ordinance on the books that was
approved by New York State, and is part of our building code. A FULL-TIME fire
inspector would be able to review installation plans as well as test for compliance.
Consider the amount of proposed construction before the Village, and you can readily
agree that we need a qualified inspector.
Please consider our request and appoint a FULL-TIME FIRE INSPECTOR as soon as
possible. The safety and lives of our residents and depatment members depend on your
actions.
Thank You,

[John Cellante, Chief Engineer Sleepy Hollow Volunteer Fire Department

                    <text>VILLAGE OF SLEEPY HOLLOW
A Work Session of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow was held on
Tuesday, November 2,1999, at approximately 7:20 p.m. in the Village Hall, 28
Beekman Avenue, Sleepy Hollow, New York.
Present:

Philip E. Zegarelli, Mayor
Mario DiFelice, Deputy Mayor, Trustee
James H. Hart, Trustee
Robert J. Higle, Trustee
Craig A. Laub, Trustee
Donald W. Stever, Trustee
Patricia Rodriguez, Trustee

The Mayor called the Work Session to order and outlined the following:
Mayor Zegarelli noted that Village Treasurer and Acting Administrator, Sanjay Shah,
had left the employment of the Village, effective, Friday, October 29, 1999, and that the
Village had settled any and all outstanding monies owed to him due to accrued sick
time, vacation pay, etc., in the form of a check that was reviewed by Village Clerk
Everett, Village Auditor DeMilia, and Village Counsel Murphy. The Mayor also stated
that because of the departure of Mr. Shah, that prudent efforts were executed over the
weekend through to this date to ensure that a smooth transition would reflect Mr. Shah's
departure. That being the case, Mayor Zegarelli made a series of motions reflecting the
changes:
Resolution No. W-A
Be it resolved that the resignation of Mr. Shah be so noted in
the Board minutes and that the action of the Mayor in this matter be so recognized.
Moved: Trustee Hart; Seconded: Trustee Stever; Vote: 7-0.
Resolution No. W-B
Be it resolved that Barbara Napoli, Village Bookkeeper, be
designated the Acting Village Treasurer for the remainder of the Village year to expire
Monday, April 3, 2000, and that in so doing Ms. Napoli assumes all responsibilities as
designated by the Village as the Acting Treasurer in all capacities.
Moved: Trustee DeFelice; Seconded: Trustee Higle; Vote: 7-0.
Resolution No. W-C
Be it resolved that in keeping with the change of Treasurer,
that all official designations and signing authorities, whether with the various banks
and/or governmental agencies, Insurance brokers and Agents be so notified of Mr.
Shah's departure and the designation of Barbara Napoli as Acting Treasurer.
Moved: Trustee Rodriguez; Seconded: Trustee Stever; Vote: 7-0.

�Resolution No. W-D
Be it resolved that Joe DeMilia, Auditor for the Village of
Sleepy Hollow, together with Trustee Hart, be appointed in an advisory position to the
Mayor and the Acting Treasurer during the turnover and that Mr. DeMilia's additional
remuneration be an additional $700 per week, which would equate to a minimum of
three hours a day for three days a week to cover various contingencies and additional
work above and beyond that of his accounting contract.
Moved: Trustee: Stever; Seconded: Trustee Laub; Vote: 7-0
The Mayor then reiterated the position of the Village and stated that, although Mr.
Shah's departure was abrupt, the Village Board thanked him for his years of service and
wished him well in his future endeavors in private industry. The Mayor then restated for
the record that he would be exercising his existing executive authority as Mayor of the
Village of Sleepy Hollow according to New York State Village Law to facilitate the timely
transition and good order of the Village during this time.
There being no other business before the Board of Trustees, Trustee Higle moved;
Trustee Hart Seconded that the Work Session be adjourned at 7:45 p.m. Vote: 7-0.
