Conformance of the Concept Plan with the Requirements of the Riverfront Development District - §62-5.1.N(2) a. The Concept Plan will substantially fulfill all of the purposes of the Riverfront Development Zoning (RF) District. a. 1. The overall purpose of the RF District is to promote the policies and purposes of the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (the "LWRP"), including positive development and revitalization of the waterfront area, while ensuring such revitalization is sensitive to the Village's coastal and community resources. The proposed Lighthouse Landing Riverfront Development Concept Plan revitalizes a significant unused portion of the Village's waterfront and replaces an existing incompatible land use, consisting almost entirely of impervious concrete slab and asphalt parking lot, with a mixed-use neighborhood including commercial, residential, recreational, and public uses. This is consistent with the RF District purposes of providing residential and waterfront commercial uses to serve as a catalyst for the economic revitalization of the Village core area. The Project is anticipated to result in an annual net fiscal surplus to the Village, and Tarrytown Union Free School District. In addition, the improved quality of the Site, and additional residents, employees and visitors is expected to spur additional business activity in the Inner Village and encourage revitalization. a. 2. The RF District purposes also stress achieving public access to the coastal area, providing further opportunities for permanent public views and visual access to the Hudson River, and increasing pedestrian public access to the waterfront, and �integrating that access with existing and anticipated pedestrian access opportunities on adjacent lands. The Project incorporates uses that are waterfrontcompatible and achieves full unobstructed public access along its entire ±2,300 linear foot shoreline, where there was none before. The Project's configuration and extensive public open space (including approximately 16.1 acres of waterfront parkland and open space) provide for numerous and significant permanent public views of the Hudson River, and prevent the loss of existing significant public views of the Hudson River and opposite shore. The open space components have also been designed to connect with neighboring open space resources such as Kingsland Point Park, and Horan's Landing and includes pedestrian and bike paths through the open space that allow for the extension of the Hudson River Greenway Trail. a. 3. In addition, the Applicant has developed, in coordination with Village staff and design consultants, a comprehensive Design Guidelines document that establishes design principles for, among others, architectural treatment and scale, materials, building orientation, streetscapes, and open spaces. The Design Guidelines responds to the RF District purpose of encouraging a mix of uses on the waterfront with a consistent set of design standards. a. 4. The RF District also includes several purposes related to natural resources, including protecting sensitive environmental areas, to prevent soil erosion, sedimentation, and slope failure, and to prevent water and air pollution. To minimize the erosion and sedimentation from both construction activities and post-development conditions, a detailed erosion and sediment control plan will be �prepared during Site Plan review by the Developer. The plan will outline the structural measures to be provided during all activities, the amount of soil exposure that can be properly managed, the location of access, storage of materials and inspection and maintenance requirements. The Project also will comply with the NYSDEC General Permit for Stormwater Discharges From Construction Activities. The Project will result in a substantial reduction in the total amount of impervious coverage and shall include a series of structural measures, such as sediment traps and hydrodynamic separators, which will provide sediment and nutrient removal. a.5. The Project also incorporates significant landscaping (the Conceptual Landscape Plan (SP.3.1-SP3.4 noted above) indicates over 3,000 trees and shrubs), which would replace currently impervious surface area, thereby reducing potential stormwater runoff b. The Concept Plan will be in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the Village's waterfront area b. 1. The area surrounding the Site is characterized by a mix of retail and commercial uses, a number of residential areas, Historic Hudson Valley's (HHV) Philipsburg Manor Restoration, public uses (e.g., DPW garage) and park and open spaces (e.g., Horan's Landing, Kingsland Point Park). The Project would transform the Site from an almost entirely concrete slab and asphalt parking lot into a mixed-use neighborhood including condominium, apartment and townhouse residences, retail space, office space, a hotel and cinema building. These types of uses are commonly found in a mixed-use setting, are consistent with the permitted uses in �the RF district, and are compatible with surrounding development patterns and land uses. h. 2. The Project provides for a total of approximately 45 acres (approximately 47.6% of the Site area) for open space, public interest, or public use (e.g., roads, sidewalks and utility access). The open space includes approximately 16.1 acres on the waterfront that will allow for the construction of the Village's Waterfront Open Space recreational components. These provide a variety of waterdependent recreational uses within a substantial waterfront park environment. The inclusion of this substantial open space along the Hudson River and Kingsland Point Park improves the relationship between the Site and surrounding public property. c. The Concept Plan is consistent with the policies and purposes of the Village's LWRP. The proposed Project has been reviewed by the Village's WAC for consistency with the goals and objectives outlined in the Village's LWRP. On January 10, 2007 the WAC issued a consistency recommendation that the Project was consistent with LWRP goals and objectives. The Village Board, as required under Chapter 59-A-5.H. of the Village Code has completed its own consistency determination and has found that the Project, with modifications set forth therein, meets the specific requirements for promoting water compatible/water-enhanced uses and is consistent with the goals and poHcies of the Village's LWRP. II. Conformance of the Project with the Conditions and Standards for Issuance of a Special Permit - §62-5.1.N(3) a. The Project will fulfill all of the purposes of the Riverfront Development Zoning (RF) District. �The overall purpose of the RF District is to promote the policies and purposes of the LWRP, including positive development and revitalization of the waterfront area, while ensuring such revitalization is sensitive to the Village's coastal and community resources. For the reasons stated above, the Project fulfills this purpose. The Village Board, after due consideration of the record, including the WAC's consistency recommendation, also finds the Project to be consistent with the goals and objectives of the Village's LWRP. b. The Project meets the riverfront development design standards set forth in Section 625. IV, to the extent applicable at the Special Permit stage. Riverfront Development Design Standards - 62-5.1(V) 1. Comprehensive design (a-d) The mix of residential and commercial uses complement each other by providing a built-in market for the new businesses, and the services provided by these businesses will help to meet the needs of the new residents for goods and services, without necessarily requiring them to leave the Site or take a private automobile. As described above, the improvement of the Site, and the new residents, employees and visitors are expected to serve as a catalyst for the economic revitalization of the Village's core area. Suitable provision for ingress/egress, circulation and utility service have been provided. The Design Guidelines included in the Project FEIS will be used as a standard of design for the creation of a distinct waterfront district in the spirit of an "old Hudson River community," as defined in the Village's LWRP and RF district regulations. The Project substantially increases access to the Hudson River waterfront, providing public access along the complete length of the Project's shoreline, and connecting �with adjacent public open spaces. The Project also expands the opportunities for public views of the Hudson River. 2. Relationship to uses on surrounding public property The Riverfront Open Space and the buffer area adjacent to Kingsland Point Park will serve as the central portion of a "green crescent" concept of publicly accessible open space linking Kingsland Point Park, DeVries Park, the Village's Headless Horseman Trail, Horan's Landing, HHV's Philipsburg Manor Restoration, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Douglas Park and the Rockefeller State Park Preserve. The Project open space will also accommodate continuation of the Westchester County Riverwalk as it connects to the existing portion along Ichabod's Landing site and eventually through to Kingsland Point Park. The uses and site plan configuration proposed near the Project's entrances are compatible with surrounding development, and the Project will also involve the donation of approximately 20 acres on the East Parcel (not including approximately 8 acres identified to be for the benefit of Historic Hudson Valley for the enhancement of the Philipsburg Manor Upper Mill Historic Site) and 17± acres on the West and South Parcels to the Village for public use, including the recreational facilities, parking and space to support the provision of enhanced public services and uses. 3. Relationship to the Hudson River The layout of the streets, buildings, and open spaces functions to maximize physical and visual access to the Hudson River for both residents and non-residents. The opportunities for direct physical access to the water include �fishing from the pier at the end of Beekman Avenue, boat access at the "dock and dine" pier, and small craft launching from the floating pier and expanded waterfront access area in the cove near Kingsland Point Park. The Project also includes a stormwater management system and will result in a substantial reduction in impervious surfaces as compared to the existing remnants of the former industrial use, which is anticipated to improve the quality of water being discharged to the Hudson River. The Project design therefore appropriately appreciates and addresses the Site's important relationship to the Hudson River. 4. Provision of view corridors and protecting views to the Hudson River The Project's street system has been laid out so that all primary streets and the riverfront roadways lead to the Hudson River, so as to utilize the River as an organizing focus for the community and to provide view corridors that maximize views of the water. Several of the streets also flare towards their ends, providing for wider public view corridors to the Hudson River. The Project design also includes continuous open space along the Project's entire shoreline, providing significant new view opportunities at the River's edge. This perimeter open space requires that new buildings be located further away from the River's edge, minimizing perception of building scale on views towards the Village from the water. The DEIS, FEIS and Environmental Assessment Narrative provided graphics depicting expected visual conditions from multiple vantage points throughout the Village, including viewsheds identified by the Village's LWRP, and indicated that the significant existing public views of the River and the far shore will not be blocked. �5. Architectural design standards (a-h) The Applicant, Village staff and design consultants have prepared a comprehensive Design Guidelines document that establishes design principles for, among others, architectural treatment and scale, materials, building orientation, streetscapes, and open spaces. The Design Guidelines will integrate cohesive design, maintain an appropriate Hudson River waterfront community image, and provide visual interest consistent with the framework found acceptable by the Village Board. A set of preliminary architectural drawings for certain of the proposed West Parcel buildings, prepared by the Lessard Architectural Group and dated May 15, 2007 (Lessard Plans), are intended to illustrate the concepts expressed in the Design Guidelines. The Village Board and Village staff and consultants have preliminarily reviewed these drawings and the Village Board finds that they advance the Village Board's design objectives, are generally consistent with the Design Guidelines, and will serve as the basis for the architectural design of the Project during the Site plan approval process. The Village Board accepts the Design Guidelines as a policy document to guide the Village in matters of Site Plan and architectural design. 6. Landscaping, screening and buffering (a-c) 6. a. The Developer will be required to commit to retaining a duly qualified landscape architect to assist in the more detailed design of the street tree planting and landscaping of the Project. �6.b. The Project will incorporate appropriate street tree planting and landscaping along street right-of-ways, within pocket parks and in building courtyards, as part of the Comprehensive Landscape Plan to be included as part of the Site Plan Application. 7. Lighting The Project includes the potential for utilizing the decorative style streetlight fixtures installed on Beekman Avenue or similar decorative style lighting along the new roadways in order to encourage pedestrian use and provide an attractive and compatible appearance. 8. Signage Signage for the Project will be designed to complement the character of the architecture and will be prepared for Planning Board review and approval as part of the site plan review process. All signage shall be in accordance with a comprehensive signage plan and sized and scaled appropriately for its purpose. 9. Vehicular circulation system and traffic access 9. a. In order to be capable of handling the delivery of construction materials to the site, the Beekman Avenue Bridge needs to be upgraded to a minimum HS25 standard. To reduce commuter use of automobiles, the Developer will provide a jitney/shuttle service during Metro-North peak hours that will run through the Site and transport commuters to the nearby Tarrytown MetroNorth station. �9.b. As described in the Design Guidelines, most of the Project's streets will have parking on both sides of the roadway and traffic lanes widths of 11-12 feet. This approach is consistent with traditional neighborhood design techniques designed to provide for traffic calming and a more pedestrian friendly streetscape. 10. Public access (a-c) The Project provides pedestrian access along the entire length of its Hudson River shoreline. This open space has also been designed with connections to surrounding open spaces such as Kingsland Point Park, and Horan's Landing, facilitating a continuous riverfront pedestrian path system. The waterfront open space far exceeds the minimum width standards of the RF-district. Access into the Park shall be provided across the buffer from the Project to the Park, ahhough there shall be no provision for traffic through Kingsland Point Park, other than for emergency, park maintenance and pedestrian access. 11. Off-street parking and loading (a-g) The Project includes a number of parking and loading facilities that have generally been designed in coordination with the proposed uses, street system, and open space network. The spaces are proposed in off-street lots, garages, belowgrade structures and on-street locations. The bulk of the parking spaces are provided in below-grade structures, garages or in lots that are effectively screened by buildings. The remaining open lots will receive suitable landscaping to screen and minimize visual impact of the parking areas. Overall, the Project provides �approximately 3,150 spaces on the west and South Parcels directly associated with its residential and commercial uses. The parking is distributed appropriately and in coordination with the street system. As documented in the Findings Statement, and the 2011 Amended Findings given that the Site has a transit and pedestrian orientation, and in consideration of the alternative parking methods incorporated into the project, including shared parking, parking incorporated within buildings, and valet parking, the Project will provide adequate parking. As authorized in §625.1(V)(12)(g)(2), the Village Board finds that the alternative parking methods are acceptable and that in accordance with the provisions of 62-5.1(R) the off-street parking requirements of the Zoning Ordinance have been satisfied. 12. On-site utilities and services (1-6) All new utilities within the Project will be located underground. As described during the environmental review, the Project will be served by public water and sewer systems, which will have, following the Village's completion of planned water systems improvements, adequate capacity to serve the new uses. The Project also incorporates a stormwater management system that will provide water quality treatment of surface runoff from buildings and pavement areas prior to discharge to the Hudson River. c. The proposed riverfront development or special-use project will he in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the Village's waterfront area. c. 1. The Project is the second Riverfront Development project to be constructed along Sleepy Hollow's waterfront and the centerpiece of the RF-Riverfront _ Development District. The area surrounding the Site is characterized by a mix of retail and commercial uses, a number of residential areas, historic properties. �public uses (e.g., DPW garage) and park and open spaces (e.g., Horan's Landing, Kingsland Point Park). The Project would transform the Site from an almost entirely concrete slab and asphalt parking lot into a mixed-use neighborhood including condominium, apartment and townhouse residences, retail space, office space, a hotel and cinema building. These types of uses proposed are commonly found in a mixed-use setting, are consistent with the permitted uses in the RF district, and are compatible with surrounding development patterns and land uses. C.2. The Project also provides for a total of approximately 45 acres (approximately 47.6% of the Site area) for open space, public interest, or public use, including the approximately 16.1 acre Waterfront Open Space which will allow for the installation of the Village's Waterfront Use Master Plan recreational components. These provide a variety of water-dependent recreational uses within a substantial waterfront park environment. The inclusion of this substantial open space along the Hudson River and Kingsland Point Park improves the relationship between the Site and surrounding public property. d. The proposed riverfront development or special use project will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent lands. As noted above, the Project will transform an almost entirely concrete slab and asphalt parking lot into an active mixed-use community. The existing condition of the Site discourages development and investment in adjacent lands; the redevelopment of the Site is expected to create a more favorable environment for surrounding properties. The Project also includes a substantial buffer between Kingsland Point Park and the �nearest development, protecting and expanding the recreational usage of that public resource. e. The proposed land uses of the project will be in accordance with the approved riverfront development concept plan. The current Riverfront Development Concept Plan which was the subject of the 2011 Amended Findings has been prepared taking into account the requirements set forth in the Village's Zoning Code, LWRP and other applicable Village, and County, and State regulations. All proposed land uses are compliant with the RF-District's use regulations. / The proposed riverfront development or special use project is consistent with the policies and purposes of the Village's LWRP. The Project has been reviewed by the Village's WAC for consistency with the goals and objectives outlined in the Village's LWRP. The WAC issued a consistency recommendation that the proposed Project was consistent with LWRP goals and objectives. The Village Board, as required under Chapter 59-A-5.H. of the Village Code has completed its own consistency determination and found that the proposed Project, with modifications set forth herein, meets the specific requirements for promoting water compatible/water-enhanced uses and is consistent with the goals and policies of the LWRP. g. The proposed project is otherwise in the public interest. The Project replaces a currently incompatible and under-used land use and provides for meaningful permanent public access to the Hudson River where none existed previously since the 19th century. The Project also designates approximately 47.6% of the Site for open space or other public uses. The Project is also anticipated to provide an annual net fiscal surplus to the Village and to the Tarrytown Union Free �School District. All of these items have significant value to the Village and help advance the public interest. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor and Board of Trustees hereby approves the issuance of a Special Permit to the Applicant, and this Resolution shall be such Special Permit, and grants Riverfront Development Concept Plan Approval to the Applicant to construct the Project conditioned upon the full compliance with the following: 1. This Special Permit is issued and the Riverfront Development Concept Plan Approval is granted to the Applicant on the conditions set forth in this Resolution. The Permit may only be assigned to a Developer who provides to the Village in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Village Attorney a statement that it will (a) assume and be subject to the obligations of the Applicant as described in the application, the FEIS, the Findings Statement as amended, and this Resolution and (b) that neither the Developer nor any of its controlling shareholders or parties (or, if a subsidiary or affiliate of another entity, the controlling shareholders or partners of such entity) or principal officers and employers have within the past 10 years been convicted of a felony, or debarred from contracting with the United States, any state, or any municipal subdivisions or agency of any state. The Applicant shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously select a Developer. Within 30 days following the date of the adoption of this Resolution, the Applicant shall issue a Request for Proposals ("RFP") the terms of which shall be at Applicant's sole discretion, but which shall include the applicable terms of this Resolution, to a list of potential Developers whom the Applicant deems to be qualified, who will have �60 days to respond. Applicant will attempt to choose a Successor Developer within 60 days after the last timely response is received and attempt to close title within 120 days after the choice has been made. GM will be considered the applicant for the approvals until it has conveyed the property to a Successor Developer, at which time the Successor Developer will assume all of the obligations of the Applicant. In the event closing of title is deferred for any reason, but the Developer is given possession of the Project Site in advance of title closing, the Project Site shall be deemed to have been restored to fully taxable status. If the Project Site is restored to fully taxable status after the commencement of a tax year, then the taxes for that year should be pro-rated so that full tax shall not relate back, but shall only be adjusted for the future (the remainder of the particular tax year). Applicant will consult with the Village on the choice of the Developer, but such choice will be solely within the discretion of Applicant who has the right not to select any of the proposals should it determine that none of the proposals are acceptable to it. 2. These conditions will apply to whichever of the Applicant or Developer is carrying forth the Project from time to time, and the term "Developer" in the succeeding conditions shall mean the entity carrying forth the Project at the time the condition is applicable. 3. The Project shall be constructed as described and detailed in the Riverfront Development Concept Plan, by the Findings Statement, 2011 Amended Findings Statement and this Resolution. 4. The residential portion of the Project shall be designed and planned to provide that 70% of the dwelling units will be offered for sale as condominium units or townhouses and 30% for lease; provided, however, that up to 40% of such units may be rented if the market �conditions existing when units are completed make sale of such units not reasonably profitable. 5. The Developer shall diligently pursue all required local, state and federal permits/ approvals and the performance of all necessary design work to allow for the reconstruction and upgrade of the Beekman Avenue Bridge to a minimum HS25 standard and the removal of the existing connector between the East and West Parcels. In this regard, A. No building permit for any Project building (other than buildings that will be used for sales models that may be constructed on the South Parcel) will be issued prior to improvement of the Beekman Avenue Bridge to an HS 25 standard to accomplish the objectives set forth in Paragraph F below and removal of the existing connector. No temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy for any Project building will be issued prior to completion of the reconstruction and repair work on the Beekman Avenue Bridge and removal of the existing connector. B. Prior to the Beekman Avenue Bridge reconstruction being commenced the Developer shall commence working with a Village established design working group described above on the surface streetscape design for the bridge. C. The Developer shall submit designs for the Beekman Avenue Bridge surface streetscape and other above-grade components to the Village Board for review and approval. �D. Permit applications shall be submitted to the other relevant permitting agencies for reconstruction of the Beekman Avenue Bridge in accordance with acceptable engineering standards. E. If the permit approvals from these other agencies result in substantive changes to the surface streetscape design, the Developer will be required to return to the Village Board for their review and approval. F.

The Developer shall use diligent, good faith efforts to cause all of the required traffic mitigation measures outside Sleepy Hollow which are described above to be implemented by all applicable jurisdictions, including the NYS Department of Transportation and the Village of Tarrytown. However, the Developer's financial responsibility for such improvements shall be limited to its "fair share" of the costs of such improvements which are not required solely due to the project. The Developer's fair share shall be determined by an independent traffic engineer to be selected jointly by the Village of Sleepy Hollow and the Developer. In the event that the Developer's good faith offer to pay its fair share of any improvement is not accepted by the applicable jurisdiction and/or such jurisdiction declines to make the improvement, the Developer shall post a bond or other reasonable security for its fair share of the cost of those traffic improvements, as defined above. Such bond shall be maintained by the Village of Sleepy Hollow for the benefit of the other jurisdictions for a period of five years after site plan approval of Phase I is granted. Each jurisdiction shall have a period of five years after site plan approval of Phase 1 to accept the Developer's fair share and implement the improvements for which the fair share was offered. Upon the expiration of this period, any remaining security shall be returned to the Developer, and thereafter the Developer shall not have any further obligation with respect to the improvements. �24. As provided for in Section 62-5.1.0 of the Village Code, this Special Permit will expire one year from the date of the adoption of this Resolution; provided, however, if the Project Site is restored to fully taxable state, or deemed to be so restored pursuant to Paragraph 1 of this Resolution, within such year, then this Special Permit shall not expire until one year from the issuance of Site Plan approval (as evidenced by the signature of the Chairman of the Planning Board on the approved Site Plan) for Phase 1 Site Development if a building permit is not applied for from the Village of Sleepy Hollow, with a 3 month extension for good cause available from the Building Inspector. The times set forth herein shall be tolled during the pendency of any litigation by a party other than the Applicant or any entity acting on behalf of the Applicant or of any moratorium affecting the Project adopted by any legislative body having jurisdiction over it. This Resolution and the Special Permit are based upon years of study, public meetings, environmental reviews, lawsuits, negotiations, bankruptcy proceedings and other activities which have lead to the drafting of a balanced document in which carefully prepared authorizations, limitations, conditions, land transfers and payment obligations have been woven into an integrated whole in which each part is interdependent upon every other part and inextricably bound to each other. Therefore, if any part of this Resolution or the Special Permit is found by a court of law in response to litigation instituted by the Applicant or any entity acting on behalf of the Applicant to be illegal, unenforceable, ultra vires, arbitrary or capricious, or requiring modification, then the remaining provisions of this Resolution and the Special Permit shall cease to be effective, it being the finding of the Village Board that the provisions are not severable nor separable. 25. On or before 10 days from the date of the adoption of this Resolution granting the Special Permit and approving the Riverfront Development Concept Plan, the Applicant shall: �a. Pay $125,000 to the Village representing all fees due to the Village under SEQRA and Section 19B of the Village Code with respect to the Project for application and other fees incurred prior to the date of such adoption (except for those incurred during the preparation of the environmental review for the Environmental Assessment Narrative and Special Permit); and h.

It will generate significant economic benefits to the Village including employment and net fiscal revenues. While portions of the Project appear as a dense development pattern, it is recognized that approximately 46% of the overall site area is devoted to public open space or public use, including approximately 16.1 acres of open space on the West Parcel. The Project is compliant with the Village's RF-Riverfront Development zoning district regulations and is consistent with respect to density with Westchester County's Patterns comprehensive planning document. The West Parcel open space includes approximately 2,300 linear feet of frontage along the Hudson River with proposed fishing pier, belvederes, transient boat tie ups, interpretive center and boat house with enhanced waterfront access area. With respect to the proposed development pattern, the Village has relied upon the Waterfront Linkage Study and the Design Guidelines manual included in the FEIS to assist it in evaluating how the RDCP achieves the design goal of an "old Hudson River waterfront community" image called out in the LWRP and Village's RF Riverfront Development zoning district. The scale of the buildings, in context to their surroundings, and the ability to preserve approximately 47.6% of the site as open space or public use area combined with the commitment to the use of natural materials (e.g., stone, brick, wood, iron) helps to achieve this goal. Further, there is a commitment to have the entire project reach the Certified level under the United States Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Neighborhood Development program, to have a LEED accredited architect certify that the larger buildings (>90,000 s . f ) would meet the Certified level under the LEED for New Construction program and that the proposed townhouses would be designed using the Energy Star program design criteria. Although the WAC recommended that a footbridge be included as part of the RDCP to address LWRP Policies 5 and 5A, Policy IF also addresses this issue. The Village Board notes that the RDCP reserves a right of way for potential future development of an accessway connecting the East and West Parcels. �The Village Board finds that the Project will revitalize the deteriorated and underused waterfront area of the Site and thus is consistent with Waterfront Consistency Review Policy Standard and Condition (1) of Section 59A-5.G of the Code. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 2: Retain and promote commercial and recreational water dependent uses (LWRP Policies 2 and 2A). As indicated previously, the RDCP currently calls for approximately 16.1 acres of open space on the West Parcel. Components include 2,300± linear feet of Hudson River shoreline accessible to the public, fishing pier, transient boat access and small craft docks, belvederes, proposed bulkhead at the point in front of the hotel, interpretive center and boat house and enhanced waterfront access suitable for hand launching small craft (e.g., canoes and kayaks). The Village Board finds that the Project will promote and thereafter retain commercial and recreational water-dependent uses and thus is consistent with Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condition (2) of Section 59A-5.G of the Code. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 3: Strengthen the economic base of Sleepy Hollow smaller harbor areas by encouraging traditional uses and activities (LWRP Policy 4). The LWRP notes that this policy is not applicable to Sleepy Hollow as the Village's waterfront does not contain a small harbor. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 4: Ensure that development occurs where adequate public infrastructure is available to reduce health and pollution hazards (LWRP FoHcies 5,5A and 5B). In assessing the Project and its location with respect to impacts to the municipal infrastructure, the Village Board has evaluated the adequacy of the following: street and local highway systems; water supply; sewage disposal; energy needs; stormwater runoff; and, community facilities (e.g., schools, fire, and police). The Village Board required an extensive evaluation of the local roadway network including the analysis of approximately 37 different intersections, the majority number of which were in the neighboring Village of Tarrytown. The traffic impact analysis utilized conservative methodology and identified specific traffic mitigation measures to address identified impacts. This includes the �establishment of a bond to cover the cost of fair share improvements in areas outside of the Village of Sleepy Hollow. The Developer is obligated to provide a jitney shuttle service during the peak travel hours to take Lighthouse Landing residents back and forth to the Tarrytown Train Station. The RDCP includes foot paths and bike paths, connecting the riverfront open space along Ichabod's Landing in the south with Kingsland Point Park in the north. The interior streets will have sidewalks to promote pedestrian circulation. The Village is in the process of concluding an environmental review process regarding the expansion of its reservoir supply capacity. The Village has identified a location for a new facility. The Special Permit for the Project contains a condition requiring the Developer to make a payment towards the cost of the new facility. Therefore, there will be sufficient water storage capacity to service the Project without impairing the water supply to the remainder of the Village. Westchester County Department of Environmental Facilities has indicated that they have sufficient capacity in the sewage treatment system to accommodate the Project. Similarly the other utility service providers - electric, gas, cable and telephone - have indicated an ability to accommodate the Project. As indicated previously, there has been a commitment that the Project, as a whole, would meet the LEED certified level for Neighborhood Development, that the larger buildings (>90,000 s.f.) would be verified as meeting the LEED certified level by an accredited LEED architect and that the townhomes would be constructed under the Energy Star criteria. The proposed stormwater management plan has been designed to accommodate a variety of storm events. The Project has also been designed to comply with the Village's Flood Damage Prevention Law. Finally, the FEIS analyzed the potential impacts on community facilities including fire, police, ambulance, recreation and schools. While impacts have been identified to each of the �aforementioned services, mitigation in the form of land donations, physical improvements and a monetary payment from the Developer to fund infrastructure items will be required. Further the fiscal analysis prepared as part of the FEIS notes that there is anticipated to be a net fiscal surplus resulting from the Project, specifically for the Village and the School District. As indicated in the Environmental Assessment Narrative the percentage of for sale units has been increased to a minimum of 60 percent compared to approximately 50 percent as part of the FEIS. Given that a greater majority of the proposed units would now be for sale there would be a projected increase in additional tax revenue from that projected as part of the FEIS. Based on its review, the Village Board finds that the Project is located where adequate public infrastructure is available to reduce health and pollution hazards and thus is consistent with the Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condition (4) of Section 59A-5.G of the Code . Waterfront Consistency Review Item 5: Expedite local permit procedures and use performance standards for development within the waterfront area (LWRP Policy 6). The Village Board has coordinated its review efforts with those of other Village entities such as the WAC and Planning Board, well as outside agencies like NYSDEC. The Village has coordinated the Waterfront Linkage study and participated in the creation of Design Guidelines to provide standards for items such as architectural treatment and scale, materials, building orientation, streetscapes and open spaces that the Village could rely upon as it moves to the more detailed level of review and analysis. The Village Board finds that the Project has been designed and approved in a manner which will allow for the expediting of future local permit procedures and use performance standards and thus is consistent with Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condition (5) of Section 59A-5.G of the Code. �Waterfront Consistency Review Policy 6: Protect significant and locally important fish and wildlife habitats from human disruption and chemical contamination. (LWRP Policies 7,7A, 7B, 7C, 8, 8a and 8B). This policy, to a limited extent, is relevant in that the existing riprap along the edge of the Hudson River would be restored where necessary, with potential benefit to marine life. As noted in the WAC recommendations, the Project would not affect the Pocantico River. The Developer will be required to implement, a stonnwater management plan that, under New York State law must be adequate to minimize any impacts resulting from stormwater runoff The WAC in their recommendations noted that the Project will result in a reduction of the current impervious surfaces at the site and reduce runoff from the site and would tend to protect fish and wildlife resources. As a long-used and now abandoned paved industrial property, the Site contains no upland wildlife habitats of any significance. The Village Board finds that the Project protects significant and locally important fish and wildlife habitats from human disruption and chemical contamination and thus is consistent with Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condition (6) of Section 59A-5.G of the Code. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 7: Encourage and expand commercial fishing facilities to promote commercial and recreational fishing opportunities (LWRP Policies 9,10). The WAC noted in their recommendations that the proposed inclusion of a fishing pier as part of the Project would constitute expansion of recreational use of fishing resources in the coastal area. The Village Board finds that the Project will encourage and expand recreational fishing opportunities and thus is consistent with Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condition (7) of Section 59A-5.G of the Code. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 8: Minimize flooding and erosion hazards through �nonstructural means, carefully selected, long-term structural measures and appropriate siting of structures (LWRP Polices 11,13,13A, 13B, 14,15,16,16A, 16B, 17 and 17A). Consistent with the recommendation from the WAC, the Village Board notes that the elevations and locations of structures address LWRP Policy 11 relative to minimizing damage to property and effects caused by flooding and erosion. The Project has been designed to comply with the Village's Flood Damage Prevention Law. It is noted that the Developer will be required to make repairs to the riprap along the River, where necessary, making the Project consistent with LWRP Policy 13 A. The specific design of the proposed pier and other shoreline structures will be evaluated as part of the forthcoming waterfront open space planning process with the Village Board. The Village Board confirms the WAC's recommendation that LWRP Policies 13B and 14 are conditionally consistent subject to the Developer's use of appropriate construction materials and placement of the pier and any other shoreline structure at appropriate locations. The Project's incorporation of stringent soil erosion and sediment control measures and its erosion and sediment control plan includes a variety of mechanisms to attain those goals including: sediment traps, silt fence barriers and straw bale barriers. A vegetative cover is proposed in the form of a comprehensive landscaping and restoration program for the balance of the property. The Village Board finds that the proposed Project will employ both non-structural and structural measures to minimize flooding and erosion hazards and the RCDP contains setbacks and buffers as part of the siting layout to achieve the same and thus is consistent with Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condition 8 of Section 59A-5.G of the Code. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 9: Safeguard economic, social and environmental interests in the coastal area when major actions are undertaken (LWRP Policies 18,18A, 18B and 18C). The WAC made a recommendation that there was no inconsistency between the Project and LWRP Policy referenced above, noting that the provision of land area for public use by the Village were �protective of the Village's social and environmental interests and quality of life. The Village Board affirms the WAC's recommendation and finds the Project will safeguard economic, social and environmental interests along the Hudson River coastal area and thus is consistent with Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condifion (9) of Secfion 59A-5.G of the Code. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 10: Maintain and improve public access to the shoreline and the water related recreational facilities while protecting the environment. (LWRP Policies 1, lA, IB, ID, IE, IF, IH, 2,2A, 4, 9,19,19A, 19B, 19C, 19D, 19E, 19F, 20 20A 20B, 21,21A 2 1 B , 2 1 C 2 2 and 22A). At present, the General Motors site is fenced and there is no public access to the Hudson River other than an existing easement to gain access to the historic 1883 Lighthouse. The Project would include opening the entire, approximately 2,300 linear feet of Hudson River shoreline to the public. The Project includes approximately 16.1 acres of public open space as part of the West Parcel including the area along the Hudson, inclusive of public walkways and opportunities to get to the waters edge. The pedestrian access provided along the shoreline would effectively provide linkages between the Village's park at Horan's Landing and the waterfront associated with Ichabod's Landing to the south of the Project site with Kingsland Point Park to the north of the site. The impact of the Project in creating linkage trails as contemplated by LWRP Policy 21 has been noted in connection with the Village Board's findings under prior policies. The Village Board also noted that the parks, fishing piers, transient boat access and enhanced waterfront access, as well as pedestrian trails and scenic overlooks are specifically recognized in the applicable Explanation of Policies for Policy 21 and its sub-policies as water-related recreational facilities. The Village Board finds that the proposed Project improves public access to the shoreline and waterrelated recreational activities through the provision and improvement of waterfront open space to the Village with adequate environmental protection measures and thus is consistent with Waterfront �Consistency Review Standard and Condition (10) of Section 59A-5.G of the Code. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 11: Protect and restore historic and archaeological resources (Policies 23, 23A, 23B and 23C). The WAC noted the fact that the 1883 Lighthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is considered to be of significance to the history of the Village. Although the Lighthouse lies outside of the boundaries of the Project site and is not within the scope of the Project, the site configuration would direct attention to the Lighthouse, which would be the focal point of the proposed Beekman Place "main streef' corridor. A Stage lA Literature Review and Sensitivity Analysis was prepared as part of the EIS, the recommendation of which noted that no further investigation of prehistoric archeological potential or historic potential is recommended. The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYSOPRHP) concurred with those recommendations. The Village Board further notes that correspondence received from the NYSOPRHP that the Project would have no impact on historic properties in or eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. As part of the anticipated expansion of the Historic Hudson Valley (HHV) Philipsburg Manor Restoration facility the Village would likely require the preparation of a Phase IB report. This will be a determination to be made by the Planning Board as part of the site plan review for that contemplated use. The Village Board finds that the Project would not adversely affect the protection and restoration of historic and archeological resources and thus is consistent with Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condifion (11) of Section 59A-5.G of the Code. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 12: Protect and upgrade scenic resources (LWRP Policies 25,25A and 25B). The WAC noted that, at the time of adoption of the LWRP, the identified scenic resources and �Hudson River views were significantly (and adversely) impacted by the then-existing GM plant structures. Since the demolition of the General Motors plant structures, open views of the Hudson River have been afforded to the community, although over a deteriorated and unsightly foreground. The WAC noted that any construction at the Site will interrupt the current open views and, consequently, "diminish the scenic quality of an identified scenic resource "Explanation of Policies", but also recognized that the protection of river views and identified view sheds contemplated by the LWRP was not intended to totally prohibit development. The Village Board notes that the RDCP attempts to preserve and frame river views by the use of street and building layout. In addition, the Village Board further notes that the provision of waterfront open space provides and enhances views of the River from new publicly accessible property. The utilization of natural materials (e.g., wood, stone, metal, and brick) and the use of the proposed Design Guidelines prepared as part of the EIS process contribute to the overall compatibility of the site in relation to its environs. The Village Board concludes that the Project upgrades the scenic foreground and provides, with future protection, scenic views of the Hudson River and thus is consistent with Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condition (12) of Section 59A-5.G of the Code. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 13: Site and construct energy facilities in a manner in which will be compatible with the environment and contingent upon the need for a waterfront or water location (LWRP Policies 2 7 , 3 0 , 3 1 , 3 3 , 3 5 , 3 5 A , 35B, 35C, 35D, 35E, 3 6 , 3 7 , 3 8 , 3 9 , 39A, 40, 40A, 41,42, 43, and 44). The Village Board finds Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condition 13 is not applicable as the Project does not contemplate an energy facility. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 14: Protect surface and groundwater's from direct and indirect discharge of pollutants and from overuse (LWRP Policies 30, 31, 33, 35, 35A, 35B, 35C, 35D, 35E, 3 6 , 3 7 , 3 8 , 3 9 , 3 9 A , 40,40A, 41A, 42,43, and 44). �The Developer will be legally required to use best management practices for stormwater management, use low flow fixtures and abide by air quality standards. With respect to the policy discussion regarding stormwater runoff, the Project will result in the replacement of part of the Site's current impervious surface with green spaces containing vegetation. Sewage will go to the County publicly owned treatment works. No usage of the Site is proposed that would generate other pollutants likely to run-off into surface waters or infiltrate ground waters or use unusually large quantities of water. The Village Board finds that the Project will protect surface and groundwaters from direct and indirect discharge of pollutants and from overuse and thus is consistent with Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condition (14) of Section 59A-5.G of the Code. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 15: Perform dredging and dredge spoil in a manner protective of the environment (LWRP Policies 15,35,35A, 35B, 35C, 35D and 35E). Any future dredging related to prior activities of GM will be conducted with oversight from NYSDEC and NYDOS. The Project itself does not include dredging. Thus the Village Board finds that Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condition (15) is not applicable. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 16: Handle and dispose of solid and hazardous wastes and effluents in a manner, which will not adversely affect the environment nor expand existing landfills (LWRP Policies 34,34A, 35,35A, 35B, 35C, 35D, 35E, 36,39 and 39A). As part of its deliberations, the WAC made a recommendation that the Applicant, during the construction phase, give strict instructions to its construction contractors that no wastes are to be dumped in the Hudson River. The Project will generate solid wastes and sewage typical of mixeduse residential and commercial developments. These will be managed using the lawful and compliant services and facilities available in the Village. �The Village Board finds that the Project will not result in the generation of solid and hazardous wastes and effluents in a quantity or of a type which will adversely affect the environment or require the expansion of existing landfills and thus is consistent with Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condition (16) of Section 59A-5.G of the Code. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 17: Protect air quality (LWRP Policies 41,41A, 42 and 43). The WAC noted in its consistency review that, as a matter of law, the Applicant will be legally required to comply with LWRP policies of 41 and 41A as they relate to the National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standards. The Environmental Findings noted that the Proposed Action would not violate the NAAQ standards. No industrial air emissions will result from the Project, and any air emissions will be in an amount and of the type typically arising from a mixed-use residential and commercial development, which will not have a material adverse effect on ambient air quality. The Village Board finds that the Project will protect air quality and thus is consistent with Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condhion (17) of Section 59A-5.G of the Code. Waterfront Consistency Review Item 18: Protect freshwater wetlands (LWRP Policy 44). The WAC noted that the Pocantico River constitutes a tidal wetlands/watercourse and that the replacement of paved areas adjacent to the River with green open space would be beneficial for the area. The Project does not include the disturbance of freshwater wetlands. The Village Board finds that the Project will protect freshwater wetlands and thus is consistent with Waterfront Consistency Review Standard and Condition (18) of Section 59A-5.G of the Code; and be it further RESOLVED, on the basis of its consideration of the consistency of the proposed Lighthouse Landing project with the foregoing LWRP Policies as outlined in Chapter 59A-5.G.(1)- (18), and �upon due consideration of the consistency recommendation provided by the WAC, the Mayor and Board of Trustees finds that the Project will be consistent with the policies and purposes of the LWRP and will advance many of them.

Present: Mayor Kenneth G. Wray Deputy Mayor Thomas Capossela David Schroedel Barbara Carr Bruce Campbell Karin Wompa (8:15 p.m.) Evelyn Stupel, Trustees Also Present: Anthony P. Giaccio, Village Administrator Paula A. McCarthy, Village Clerk Janet Gandolfo, Village Counsel Richard Gross, Village General Foreman Gregory Camp, Police Chief Sean McCarthy, Village Inspector (7:55 p.m.) At 7:06 p.m. the Mayor called the meeting to order. The Village Clerk read aloud the Public Hearing announcement. Mayor opened the Public Hearing to the public and evoked the 5 minute rule: Katherine Zaiantis, represents the Village of Tarrytown and shared a letter on their behalf from Adier Consulting, regarding the Review of the Proposed Lighthouse Landing Development, urging the Board to consider the traffic impacts in the Village. Jeffrey Anzevino, Director of Land Use Advocacy from Scenic Hudson Inc, a 48 year old nonprofit environmental organization, addressed the Mayor and the Board and submitted a written statement. See attached. Philip Musegaas of the River Keeper addressed the Mayor and the Board and said he would follow up with written comments. He is concerned about pollution and sited Section, 9, page 29, Section 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the special permit. David Bedell of Sleepy Hollow and Chair of the Village's Environmental Advisory Council, addressed the Mayor and the Board and commented on the East parcel stating that this is a large complicated operation that the Village Board is taking. He suggested that the Village should develop more green standards. He suggested that the Village demand all the monies upfront. He stated that at it is imperative that the village have a planned structured, and urged that experts develop this plan. Mr. Bedell commented on the West parcel and asked that the language be reviewed to make sure that native plans, and other village laws will be applied. He stated that he is pleased to see that the green building standards are being considered. �Mario Belanich of North Washington Street addressed the Mayor and the Board and stated that when General Motors was operating there were over 500 employees and the traffic jann was took 20 to 30 minutes per day and the Villages survived. He stated that he worked for GM for 40 years and has never been sick. He stated that he is shocked and surprised that the Village of Tarrytown is suing the Village over a traffic matter. He said the GM plant stopped operating 15 years ago and it's time to move on, the Village, the schools and the county need the tax revenue. There were no further comments from the public at this time; Mayor asked the Board for comments. Deputy Mayor Caposseia stated that the Village of Tarrytown's Lawsuit is frivolous and it will cost our Village a lot of money. Trustee Campbell agreed with Deputy Mayor Caposseia and stated that the Village of Tarrytown should have asked for a discussion about this development instead of a lawsuit. Mayor stated that when he noticed this hearing he announced that he intended to open and close it on the same day, absent any extraordinary events. He stated that the comments from the public received tonight were substantially the same as those received in prior oral and/or written presentations. The Special Permit has been on the Village Web site and available to the public for several weeks. On a motion by Deputy Mayor Caposseia, Seconded by Trustee Stupel the public hearing was closed. It was unanimous. Mayor called for a special session and stated that the comments from the public this evening have been considered and it is appropriate to go forward starting with the Consistency Findings resolution which will be read aloud for the record. Trustee Schroedel stated he is comfortable moving forward. See attached resolutions. On a motion by Trustee Campbell, seconded by Trustee Carr, the Consistency Findings Lighthouse Landing Resolution passed. It was unanimous. On a motion by Trustee Campbell, seconded by Trustee Stupel, the Granting Special Permit and Approving the Riverfront Development Concept Plan for the Lighthouse Landing Riverfront Development Resolution passed.

McCarthy Village Clerk �Adler Consulting, 235 Main Street White Plains, NY 10601-2401 Transportation Planning & Traffic Engineering, PLLC Tel # (914) 997-8510 Fax #(914) 997-7140 June 7, 2011 Honorable Kenneth G. Wray, Mayor Members of the Board of Trustees Village of Sleepy Hollow 28 Beekman Avenue Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591 Re: Review of Proposed Lighthouse Landing Development Village of Sleepy Hollow, New York Dear Mayor Wray and Members of the Board: At the request of the Village of Tarrytown, Adler Consulting has reviewed the "Resolution on Environmental Determination and Findings Revised Riverfront Development Concept Plan Pursuant to Section 62-5.1 of the Sleepy Hollow Code for the Lighthouse Landing Riverfront Development" (Findings) which was approved by the Board of the Village of Sleepy Hollow and is the basis for consideration of the Special Permit. Adler Consulting previously reviewed the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) prepared for the Lighthouse Landing and submitted comments to the Village of Tarrytown in a letter, dated, April 4, 2005. In addition, Adler Consulting also reviewed the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and provided comments to the Village of Tarrytown in a letter, dated, July 17, 2007 and prepared and submitted an Affidavit in support of the lawsuit brought by the Village of Tarrytown in October 2007. In each of these submissions, Adler Consulting identified inaccuracies and omissions in the documents submitted by the Applicant and that both the DEIS and the subsequent FEIS were incomplete. It is also noted that inaccuracies identified by Adler Consulting in the DEIS were not addressed nor corrected in the FEIS. Further, Adler Consulting reviewed the Environmental Assessment Narrative (EAN) and the accompanying plans prepared by Divney-TungSchwalbe for the Lighthouse Landing at Sleepy Hollow, dated, December 14, 2010, �Honorable Kenneth G. Wray, Mayor June 7, 2011 Page 2 and submitted that review in a letter to the Board, dated, February 9, 2011. The review noted that the information concerning the size of the proposed project and its components presented by the Applicant as part of the EAN differed from the data provided in the FEIS. Moreover, the EAN did not include any additional analysis of the transportation impacts expected to be caused by the revised proposed development which had been modified from the information previously presented in the FEIS. Therefore, sincc the EAN did not contain new analyses, the inaccuracies and omissions identified in the DEIS and FEIS remain unaddressed and uncorrected. The Findings prepared by the Village of Sleepy Hollow, dated, January 25, 2011, rely on the EAN, FEIS and DEIS, which as has been previously noted, are inaccurate and contain omissions. Since the base documents are deficient, the Village of Sleepy Hollow has not taken the requisite "hard look" at the transportation and parldng Impacts of the proposed Lighthouse Landing development, particularly as they concern the traffic operating conditions and quality of life within the Village of Tarrytown. As noted earlier, the EAN did not include any analysis that documents the potential impacts associated with the revised Lighthouse Landing development and is, therefore, deficient.

Village of Sleepy Hollow Board of Trustees General Motors's amended application for a Riverfront Development Concept Plan and Special Permit June 7, 2011 Good evening. My name Jeffrey Anzevino; 1 am the Director of Land Use Advocacy for Scenic Hudson, a 48-year-old nonprofit environmental organization whose mission is to ensure that tomorrow's Hudson River Valley is environmentally and economically sustainable. We have been actively working in Sleepy Hollow to improve the public's connection to the Hudson River for the past 12 years. We recently celebrated with our partners, the Village of Sleepy Hollow, Westchester County, Westchester County Parks, Friends of Westchester County Parks, the NYS Department of State and, of course, Mrs. Davis, the reopening of the former bath house at Kingsland Point Park as the Kathryn W. Davis RiverWalk Center. And in addition with the help of Department of State's Environmental Protection Fund we are working with Tarrytown, Westchester County and Ferry Landing LLC to create the new Scenic Hudson RiverWalk Park at Tarrytown in order to ensure a continuous riverfront connection between Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown. The Village of Sleepy Hollow is nearing a critical juncture in the approval process of the most important riverfront site along the entire Hudson. We acknowledge that the developer ultimately chosen for this site may well choose a different plan. That is all the more reason to require that the groundwork is laid to ensure that the issues are addressed to ensure that any new project will move ahead on a solid foundation and will add value to the village without compromising the environment or impacting the village or its residents. With that in mind, we offer the following comments for your consideration: In-river contamination's effect on the riverfront park The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation's brownfield remediation plan must adequately protect the Village and its residents against future harm. In addition, we urge the village to take a proactive leadership role with DEC and GM to ensure that the in-river investigation is initiated as soon as possible so that the riverfront park can be opened as early as possible when the site is developed. The Village should consider hiring an independent third party environmental engineer to review the plan to ensure its interests and its residents are protected. �Climate Action Plan and Sea Level Rise Given that the GM site is low-lying and built on tidally-infliienced fill, the impact of rising water under the slab and potential flooding conditions over the site must be taken into account before the Riverfront Concept Plan and Special Permit are approved. While we understand that the environmental review examined this in light of existing 100-year floodplain data, new information has come to light that renders obsolete those old assumptions about sea level rise. On November 10, 2010 Governor Patterson under Executive Order No. 24 released his draft interim climate action plan. Consistent with the Sea Level Task Force final report, the plan found that global climate change could cause sea level to rise between 12 and 55 inches by the end of the century. We urge the village to require GM or its chosen developer to review and make any modifications necessary to the site development plan to ensure that flooding and storm surges do not cause either damage to the river, to property or cause liability and costs to be incurred by the village. New Market Conditions after the Financial Crisis Likewise, the scale of development at the GM site was determined in a very different real estate market than exists today. Therefore we suggest that GM should conduct an absorption study to determine if the 1,177 units and scale of commercial development now proposed at the GM site are reasonable given the capacity of the current real estate market to absorb this scale of development over a given period of time. Cement Dust Pile Finally, upon demolition in the late 1990s of the GM manufacturing plant, portions of remaining concrete structural elements were milled into aggregate for on-site reuse. A stockpile of these concrete millings has since then blighted the appearance of the western portion of the site. In addition, we have submitted to the NYSDEC, to the village, and to GM a letter from a credible environmental scientist raising questions about the suitability of reuse of these materials due to contaminants. We believe that GM should take immediate action to address the eyesore it has left behind on the riverfront. In order to reduce the visibility and toxicity of the pile, we request that the Village require GM to completely remove or substantially lower the height of the pile. In addition, the entire site is an eyesore. Given that redevelopment of the site is likely to take several years, we urge the village to require GM to take steps to significantly improve its appearance during the interim. Conclusion Scenic Hudson hopes that all parties will work cooperatively so that Lighthouse Landing will serve as a natural extension of Sleepy Hollow and function as an integrated part of the Village. Without a doubt, this is a challenging site. The railroad has historically separated the former GM site from village neighborhoods and its central business district. However, the site also provides an outstanding opportunity to serve as a model of riverfront development for communities throughout the Hudson Valley and beyond. Thank you for providing this opportunity to present these comments tonight. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
