The Village Clerk read the Public Hearing announcement regarding Parking in the Manor.
Haig Bohigian of 225 Hunter Avenue, addressed the Mayor and the Board of Trustees and
stated that he hasn't seen anyone parked on Bellwood Avenue, except for police and medical
personnel, in addition Mr. Bohigian shared a letter he wrote to the Mayor and Board. Please
see letter attached.
Don Cateano of 43 Lawrence Avenue, who has been a resident for 53 years, addressed the
Mayor and the Board of Trustees and stated that as far as he knows this has been a political
thing for many years and he is in favor of the current parking status.
A resident of Philipse Manor for 18 years addressed the Mayor and the Board of Trustees and
asked if a 15 minute provision is accurate and there needs to be more clear instructions on
what to do.
Mayor responded that at this time the rules state "No parking".
This resident also asked if he can park on his lawn since he got a summons for parking in front
of his house. Village Attorney Janet Gandolfo responded that the Village does not have a code
stating one cannot park on the lawn, but the Village does have a code stating that one does
have to park in the driveway.

�Richard Piano, President of the PMIA and a resident of Phiiipse Manor, addressed the Mayor
and the Board of Trustees and suggested delaying this decision, he read aloud and shared a
detailed letter from the PMIA Board with some proposals, see attached.
Adrienne Berezowski of 149 Farrington Avenue addressed the Mayor and the Board of Trustees
and stated that he is trying to come up with a constitutional manner that doesn't change the
character of the Manor, he stated that a blanket ban won't work, some residents have more
than one car, caretakers, and more.
Mr. Berezowski also stated that treating a commuter differently would be fine but that it should
be established if its residential vs non-residential; he also stated that neighbors should
communicate with each other and not take advantage of the parking privileges.
Eliot Martone of 18 Farrington and Vice President of the PMIA addressed the Mayor and the
Board of Trustees and stated that there is a system that works very well, and that they support
the police dept. Mr. Martone also stated that a few years ago many hours were spent writing
grants and that there should be a law to support this change.
Chris Atkinsons of Devries Avenue, addressed the Mayor and the Board of Trustees and fully
supports the current status of the parking regulations. He stated that it's been without a
problem for a long time, and that families have genuine needs.
Heidi Torpid a resident of Phiiipse Manor and a new member of the PMIA addressed the Mayor
and the Board of Trustees and suggested that visitors write a note and leave it on the
dashboard when parking on the street.
Don Cateano of Lawrence Avenue addressed the Mayor and the Board of Trustees and stated
that he's lived in this community for 53 years and that there is no money in this community. He
also complained that he can't find a good tenant because the police dept give out parking
tickets.
David Hudson, who lives on Palmer and Munroe, addressed the Mayor and the Board of
Trustees and stated that the current parking regulations have been working well, except for the
parking incident over the summer. He urged the Board to keep it simple since these issues set
off people's emotions.
Haig Bohigianor, addressed the Mayor and the Board again, stating that he has been a resident
for 37 years, he suggested that the Board continue what has been in the past, doesn't see a
reason to change anything Adriene Berezowski addressed the Mayor and the Board of Trustees and suggested that
residents communicate with their neighbors; since he would rather not have to call the Police
dept.
Mayor Wray adjourned the Public Hearing until January 18th,2011 and asked residents to
submit additional comments to the Village Clerk. He also noted that, as the Chief of Police
previously stated, that any law needs to treat everyone fairly.

�Mayor stated that leaving the current regulations the way they are, is not an option and that
the Village needs an enforceable law.
Mayor Wray introduced Mr. David Smith of VHB Engineering (Saccardi &amp; Schiff) to give a brief
review of the General Motors Concept Plan.
Mr. David Smith stated that Mr. Andy Tong, had previously done a presentation on the changes
of the new plan, and these changes and documents have been circulated. He stated that the
Village has gone thru five years of review; including the Supreme Court justice and that this is
an essential application to the Board of Trustees. Mr. Smith explained some of the changes
that have taken place in the new plan.
Next step is for the Board of Trustees to decide if the changes in the current document are
consistent with the previously agreed on environmental impact statement. A detailed
presentation about the updated plans for General Motors will take place during the work
session next week, January
Mayor said at next week's work session there will be additional questions, and that there will be

and said he is concerned about future traffic and asked if the Board could do something now to
prevent Palmer Avenue and Kingsland Point Park from having so much traffic for the General
Motors Construction site.
Mayor Wray responded and said to undertake a bridge is a major job, but said that he will jump
on it right away, even though this is a separate process and it needs to be studied. There is an
existing access point, needs to be studied and has its own process.
Richard Piano, a resident and PMIA President of Philipse Manor, addressed the Mayor and the
Board of Trustees again and stated that it should be noted that Kingsland Point Park won't be a

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
Whereas, in February 2003 the General Motors Corporation (the "GM Corp."), the
beneficial owner of an approximately 94.5-acre parcel of property located on the site of
the former General Motors Automotive Assembly Plant at 199 Beekman Avenue, Sleepy
Hollow, New York (the "Site"), and Roseland/Sleepy Hollow LLC, a designated
redeveloper (collectively, the "Applicants"), submitted an application to the Board of
Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow (the "Board of Trustees"), for a Special Permit
and Riverfront Development Concept Plan (RDCP) approval pursuant to Section 62-5.1
of the Zoning Code of the Village of Sleepy Hollow (the "RF Zone") in order to construct
a mixed-use development project on the Site (the "Project"); and.
Whereas, the Board of Trustees, acting as the Lead Agency, in accordance with the
New York State Environmental Quality Review Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder ("SEQRA"), conducted a thorough and comprehensive review
of the Project and its environmental impacts, holding over fifty public hearings and
meetings and receiving input from local and state agencies, consultants, environmental
organizations and the public; and
Whereas, during the EIS review period, the Applicants agreed to make certain design
changes to the Project, contribute substantial financial resources, increase the size of
the parkland and open space, and reduce the density of the residential component of
the Project; and
Whereas, these design changes were described in the Applicants' Final Environmental
Impact Statement ("FEIS") and the accompanying FEIS Alternative Plan which in part:
reduced the number of residential units from 1,562 to 1,250, reduced the retail space
from 180,000 square feet to 132,000 square feet, reduced the size of the hotel,
increased the open space provided for along the Hudson River and within the interior of
the Site, and, created an enhanced landscaped buffer area between Kingsland Point
Park and the Project; and
Whereas, after more than four years of study and analysis, on July 24, 2007, the
Board of Trustees pursuant to SEQRA, adopted a Findings Statement for the Project
(the "2007 Findings") containing detailed reviews of the potential impacts of the Project
on land use, zoning and public policy, ecological resources, economic conditions,
cultural and archaeological resources, open space, utilities, traffic and mass transit, and
parking conditions, among other matters; and

�Whereas, incorporated as part of the 2007 Findings, tine Board of Trustees imposed
numerous conditions and required changes to the Project; and
Whereas, following the adoption of the 2007 Findings, Gi^ Corp. commenced an
Article 78 proceeding seeking to set aside many of the various conditions imposed by
the Board of Trustees; and
Whereas, subsequently, Roseland/Sleepy Hollow LLC terminated its agreement with
GM Corp. and is no longer the designated redeveloper of the Project; and.
Whereas, the current Applicant for the Project is the General Motors Company LLC
("GM") which acquired substantially all of the assets of GM Corp. on July 10, 2009 in a
transaction executed under the jurisdiction and pursuant to the approval of the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of the State of New York.
Whereas, on January 8, 2010, the Westchester Supreme Court (Hubert, J.) ruled that
"GM's petition seeking to annul various requirements is granted in part, and denied in
part"; and.
Whereas, discussions have occurred between members of the Board of Trustees and
GM in an effort to resolve outstanding legal issues and still satisfy and meet the
requirements of the RF Zone and the intended goals of the Village of Sleepy Hollow;
and.
Whereas, GM, in furtherance of this purpose, has revised its Riverfront Development
Concept Plan (the "RDCP") to reflect the required changes as set forth in the 2007
Findings, the Hubert Decision and the discussions referenced above; and.
Whereas, the major components of the revised RDCP are summarized below:
•

A total of 1,177 condominium, apartment and townhouse residences, of
which the apartments will include 40 affordable senior units and 21
affordable Village workforce units;

•

Non-residential space consisting of approximately 132,000 square feet of
retail space (including ±25,000-square foot market, 18,000-square foot
cinema, ±89,000 square feet of shops and restaurants); ±35,000 square
feet of office space; a 140-room hotel with meeting space and a ±5,000square foot restaurant; and the potential for an additional 6,000 square
feet of retail/restaurant space along Road A;

•

The Village Green, the Waterfront Park and improvements (including any
required repairs to the existing riprap shoreline), the Expanded Buffer
Area (including an emergency access to Kingsland Point Park), and the
Central Park, totalling approximately 16.1 acres of public open space, to

�be constructed by GM's designated developer on the West Parcel and
dedicated to the Village following its acceptance of same;
•

Approximately 28.7 acres of land to be donated by GM to the Village for
public use, consisting of 28.3 acres on the East Parcel and 0.4 acres on
the South Parcel;

•

Roads and utilities within roads on the West Parcel to be constructed by
GM's designated developer and dedicated to the Village following its
acceptance of same; and

•

The reconstruction or upgrade of the Beekman Avenue Bridge to a
minimum HS 25 structural standard by GM's designated developer.

Whereas, on or about December 14, 2010, a representative of GM did make a detailed
public presentation to the Board of Trustees outlining the proposed revisions to the
RDCP; and
Whereas, on or about December 16, 2010, GM did submit to the Board of Trustees an
Environmental Assessment Narrative consisting of a detailed description of revisions to
the RDCP, a revised set of RDCP drawings dated 12/03/10, a building tabulation table
indicating unit distribution by proposed building and including a notation that as many
as 70 percent of the units could be owner occupied, a public open space and public use
diagram, a series of conceptual studies and building elevations prepared to provide a
visual depiction of building treatments (the Lessard Plans), and a graphic depicting the
anticipated changes in the view from Barnhart Park; and
Whereas^ the Board of Trustees did cause to be circulated the above referenced
Environmental Assessment Narrative to all Interested and Involved Agencies and did
request that comments be submitted to the Village by January 4, 2011; and
Whereas, the Village did receive written correspondence from several Interested and
Involved Agencies on the Environmental Assessment Narrative; and
Whereas, the Board of Trustees were provided a review of the Environmental
Assessment Narrative and process on January 4, 2011 and did discuss the contents of
the Environmental Assessment Narrative and comments received with respect to it at a
public work session on January 11, 2011; and
Whereas, the proposed architectural character of the Project buildings as shown in the
Lessard Plans has not changed since submissions made to the Board of Trustees during
its deliberations prior to the issuance of the 2007 Findings; and
Whereas, the DEIS, FEIS and all other SEQRA documents previously reviewed by the
Board of Trustees were incorporated into the Environmental Narrative by reference; and

�Whereas, the RDCP has been revised from the FEIS Alternative Plan as follows:
A.

To comply with operative provisions of the 2007 Findings.
1.

B.

Beekman Avenue and its intersection with River Street and the proposed
Beekman Place have been changed to "accommodate a roundabout..., an
associated green space, and a slight reconfiguration of Building H to
provide more building frontage along the aforementioned green space."
a.

Building H has been reconfigured to remove the driveway opposite
the "Village Green"

b.

Street trees have been added along Beekman Avenue to "visually
connect the upgraded Beekman Avenue bridge with the Beekman
Avenue/Beekman Place intersection and the Hudson River beyond."

2.

Building M has been reconfigured to include an extension of approximately
3,000 square feet of commercial space, with the possibility for an
additional 6,000 square feet of commercial space fronting onto Road A
and the waterfront open space.

3.

The alignment of Road One has been adjusted to accommodate an
increase in the minimum building setback to 150 feet and an increase in
the width of the Kingsland Point Park buffer area to a minimum of 100
feet.

4.

The townhomes along Road One include more of a mix of three - and
four-story building heights.

5.

Buildings along the Metro-North railroad tracks will have a maximum
height of 42 feet.

6.

The total public open space and public use areas have been increased
from ±39 to ±44.6 acres, inclusive of an 11.1-acre waterfront open space.

7.

The plan has been revised to show the elimination of Building N and the
reconfiguration of the site layout along the tracks.
This proposed
modification has increased the length of Building 1. In coordination with
these revisions, and to comply with the reduction of 73 residential units
required by the 2007 Findings, the heights, layouts, and/or unit counts
have been revised in Buildings E and K.

To compiv with the Hubert Decision.
1.

No additional open space is to be reserved for any future extension or
estuary of the Pocantico River but the expanded buffer between the

�Project and Kingsland Point Park approved by the Hubert Decision is
provided;
2.

No additional parking is to be provided beyond what was shown in the
FEIS Alternative Plan;

J.

Public access to the waterfront will be provided as early as practicable in
coordination with overall Project construction activities;

4.

The Applicant will not provide indemnification to the Village related to any
potential residual soil contamination below lands to be dedicated or
donated to the Village for public use; and

5.

Fee title to the donated waterfront open space will be transferred to the
Village from the Applicant.

C.
To reflect recent discussions between GM and the Village and still meet the
intended goals of the RF Zone.
1.

Dependent on future market conditions, GM's future designated developer
will endeavor to offer 70 percent of the Project's residential units for sale
as condominium units or townhouses and 30 percent as rental units.
However, without the consent of the Board of Trustees not less than 60
percent of the units will be offered for sale, and not more than 40 percent
will be rental units. To facilitate this increase in the percentage of "forsale" units from the approximately 50% proposed in the FEIS Alternative
Plan, Building E has been divided into Building E l (to remain as rental)
and E2 (to become for-sale) and Building N (formerly rental) has been
eliminated, with some of its units being transferred to a larger Building I.
Minor adjustments have also been made in the number of units proposed
for the other planned residential buildings. This allocation of units
between buildings is proposed to be illustrative within the overall total of
1,177 and the for-sale/rental percentages described above, with the exact
unit count to be finalized at the time of Site Plan Approval for each
building.

2.

All roads and utilities within roads on the West Parcel shall be dedicated to
the Village following construction by GM's designated developer and
acceptance by the Village.

3.

The waterfront park and improvements (including an expanded buffer
between the Project and Kingsland Point Park), the Central Park, and the
Village Green will be constructed by GM's designated developer and
dedicated to the Village following its acceptance of same.

�4.

So as to provide the Board of Trustees with maximum control and
flexibility in the expenditure of resources to supply and support public
infrastructure and public services directly or indirectly required by or
benefiting the Project and its occupants, GM's designated developer will
make payments to the Village totaling $11,500,000. These payments
shall be made in accordance with a schedule to be set out in the Special
Permit to finance infrastructure, mitigation measures and amenities
identified in the FEIS or Findings (or subsequently found by the Board of
Trustees to be appropriate to provide public services on account of the
Project's development), and shall not be used to pay for any ordinary
operating expenses of the Village or the salaries and benefits of the
Village employees or to reduce real property taxes.
Such payments are specifically intended to be utilized by the Village to
complete the repair or demolition of the East Parcel viaduct, the
construction of the DPW and fire/ambulance facilities, and the provision of
a low-profile fire-fighting vehicle (or other acceptable fire-fighting
measure for the proposed below-grade parking levels). The Village may,
at its discretion, fund these actions in whole or in part from other sources.
Such payments shall also be made in lieu of GM or its designated
developer
designing,
constructing,
or providing the
following
improvements:
a.

All East Parcel improvements shown on the FEIS Alternative Plan,
including, but not limited to,

b.
c.
d.

the extension of Continental Street,
the 150-car parking lot,
any and all Recreational facilities,
the DPW facility,
the viaduct repair or demolition,
the methane mitigation involving asphalt scarification,
the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation ("NYSDEC") approved cap,
Repairs to lighthouse,
Flooding study,
Inter-municipal transit study or funding for an inter-municipal traffic
district,
Security camera system,
Downtown Revitalization Corporation contribution,
Pocantico River/estuary watershed study,
Rte. 9 / New Broadway traffic study,

In addition to the payments totaling $11,500,000, a contribution of
$650,000 shall be made by GM's designated developer to the Village for
design and construction of the water system upgrades in accordance with
a schedule to be set out in the Special Permit; and

Now Therefore Be It Resolved that the Village Board has determined that the
informational and procedural requirements of SEQR applicable to the revised RDCP
Environmental Assessment Narrative have been met, as evidenced by the recitals
above, enabling the Village Board to take a hard look at the potential adverse
environmental impacts of the Project described in the revised RDCP when compared to
the potential adverse impacts of the Project which was the subject of the 2007
Findings; and

Be it Further Resolved that having reviewed the DEIS, the FEIS, the Environmental
Assessment Narrative, comments received from the public, Interested and Involved
Agencies, Village staff and consultants, and upon the entire record of the Proposed
Action, the Village Board makes the following findings and determinations pursuant to
SEQR and 6 NYCRR, Sections 617.7 and 617.11.
1.

All revisions to the RDCP made in response to the 2007 Findings, except
potentially one, were made to specifically satisfy the conditions of, or to mitigate
impacts described in, the 2007 Findings, and so would not have additional
environmental impacts not previously considered by the Board of Trustees. The
single revision potentially not associated with a mitigating measure was the
change in building heights along the east side of the West Parcel. To reflect the
2007 Findings directive that the buildings along the railroad tracks be set at a
maximum height of 42 feet to comply with RF District zoning requirements.
Buildings A, I, and E (now E l and E2) were lowered from five to four stories. As
a result of modifying the overall mix of owner occupied versus rental units,
Building K was raised from four to five stories to accommodate the typically
larger sizes of ownership units.
Figure No. 4 provided in the Environmental Assessment Narrative illustrates the
proposed changes to FEIS Section II.F "Visual Resources" View #2 based on the
building height adjustments in the revised RDCP. Similar to the FEIS Alternative

�Plan, the view from Barnhart Park over the Metro-North railroad tracks will
encompass a mixture of four - to five-story buildings visible within the interior of
the Site with views of the Tappan Zee Bridge and Hudson River beyond.
Buildings A, E (now E l and E2), and I remain in the foreground and will be
reduced in height from five stories to four stories. The rooflines and profiles of
the revised buildings are represented by dashed white lines with accompanying
annotations. Building I has been lengthened by approximately 122 feet and
shifted northward, while Building N is no longer proposed. Building K, located
beyond Buildings E1/E2, is proposed to be raised from four to five stories, which
is consistent with nearby Buildings F, G, and L which will remain at five stories,
or a combination of four and five stories in height. The architectural character
and landscape treatment of the revised RDCP has not changed from the FEIS
Alternative Plan.
Overall, the view from Barnhart Park of the revised RDCP is similar to that of the
FEIS Alternative Plan, and will therefore have no different or greater visual
impact than the FEIS Alternative Plan that was the subject of the 2007 Findings.
2.

As described above, the Hubert Decision resulted in the annulment of certain
conditions imposed in the 2007 Findings. The court after an in-depth analysis of
the 2007 Findings concluded that these conditions were not required to mitigate
adverse environmental impacts caused by the Project. Consequently, based
upon the court's determinations, the changes in the RDCP required by its
decision have been judicially found not to have a significant adverse impact on
the environment and thus require no further environmental assessment.

3.

The revisions to the RDCP resulting from discussions between GM and the Village
generally have similar or lesser potential environmental impacts than the Project
elements which were the subject of the 2007 Findings:
a.

Due to the Village's status as an approved assessing unit, GN's proposal
to increase the percentage of for-sale units compared to rental units from
50% to 60-70% will have the effect of increasing the Village tax revenue
from the additional for-sale units. Based upon the analysis provided in the
FEIS Appendix 4, Fiscal Impacts of the Lighthouse Landing Development,
the Village-assessed valuation of a for-sale condominium unit was
estimated to be approximately double that of a comparably sized rental
apartment unit. Village taxes for for-sale units were similarly estimated at
approximately double that of rental units. There will be no additional
costs to the Village associated with the proposed increase in for-sale units
and resultant increase in Village tax revenues. The proposed increase in
percentage of for-sale units under the RDCP will therefore have a
beneficial fiscal impact on the Village when compared to the FEIS
Alternative Plan that was the subject of the 2007 Findings.

�A review of the most conservative school age multiplier presented in the
EIS indicates that there would be no increase in the number of public
school age children as a result of the change in the ownership distribution,
and so this proposed change will have no different or greater
environmental impact on public school enrolment than the FEIS
Alternative Plan that was the subject of the 2007 Findings.
b.

The minor changes to the West Parcel layout to accommodate a right of
way easement for unlimited access from the traffic circle at the west end
of Road One to the Metro-North railroad tracks consist of the adjustment
of the location of Building I and associated site improvements, all of which
have been previously reviewed by the Board of Trustees and would not
have any different or additional environmental impacts than those
previously considered.

c.

The change in the Applicant's obligations from providing or contributing
towards certain infrastructure, mitigation measures and amenities
identified in the FEIS or 2007 Findings to making a series of payments to
the Village to be applied by the Village towards these mitigation measures
and amenities as and when needed as the Project progresses does not
itself significantly change the extent and nature of the public features to
be provided at the Applicant's expense. As this change will provide the
Village with more direct control over and flexibility in the design and
timing of such features, the corresponding mitigative measures described
in the 2007 Findings will be enhanced, and the environmental impacts
from the Project will not be significantly different from or greater than
those previously considered.

Therefore, Be it Further Resolved, that consistent with the categories outlined in
the 2007 Findings, the Village Board has evaluated the proposed revisions to the RDCP
and makes the following findings: Land Use and Zoning - no change in the potential
environmental impacts addressed in the 2007 Findings; Land, Water and Ecological
Resources - no change in the potential environmental impacts addressed in the 2007
Findings; Environmental Remediation - the Hubert decision found that the requirement
of hold harmless condition and the creation of an estuary/reconnected Pocantico River
were not valid mitigation measures, no other changes in the potential environmental
impacts addressed in the the 2007 Findings;
Socio-economic Conditions - the
commitment to change the mix of ownership and rental for residential units is
anticipated to increase the projected tax revenue to the Village over that projected in
the FEIS; Community Facilities and Services - a comparison of projected public school
age children resulting from the revised unit ownership mix reveals that the number of
students is consistent with those projected in the FEIS, no other changes in the
potential environmental impacts addressed in the 2007 Findings; Historic, Cultural and
Archaeological Resources - no change
in the potential environmental impacts
addressed in the the 2007 Findings; Open Space, Pedestrian Circulation and Visual

�Resources - Revised RDCP includes additional open space between Kingsland Point Park
and the proposed projects, the change in the mix of units to include a greater mix of
ownership units requires Building K to go from 4 stories to 5 stories and was evaluated
in paragraph 1 above; Utilities - no change in the potential environmental impacts
addressed in the 2007 Findings; Mass Transit - no change
in the potential
environmental impacts addressed in the 2007 Findings; Traffic and Parking - no change
in the potential environmental impacts addressed in the 2007 Findings; Air Quality and
Noise - no change in the potential environmental impacts addressed in the 2007
Findings; Construction Impacts - Hubert decision does not require the Applicant to
construct recreational facilities as part of Phase 1, no other changes in the potential
environmental impacts addressed in the 2007 Findings; Alternatives - no changes in
the potential environmental impacts addressed in the 2007 Findings; and,
Be It Further Resolved, that the 2007 Findings be, and they hereby are, amended to
conform to the Hubert Decision and the recent discussions between GM and the Village
as described in the forgoing recitations and as depicted in the revised RDCP, and as so
amended be, and they hereby are, confirmed; and
Be It Further Resolved, that the proposed revisions to the Project as depicted in the
revised RDCP and described in the Environmental Assessment Narrative do not present
significant adverse environmental impacts not addressed or inadequately addressed in
the DEIS and FEIS, and there are no changes in circumstances or newly discovered
information presenting such potential impacts; and.
Be it Further Resolved, that the Findings described in this Resolution and the 2007
Findings as amended together be read together, with the Findings in this Resolution to
govern should there be a conflict or discrepancy, and confirmed as the 2011 Amended
Findings for the Project; and.
Be it Further Resolved, that having fully considered the Environmental Record and
the Environmental Assessment Narrative, and having considered the preceding written
facts and conclusions relied upon to meet the requirements of 6 NYCRR 617.7 and
617.11, the Village Board confirms and restates its previous certifications that:
1.

The requirements of 6 NYCRR Part 617 have been met and fully satisfied;

2.

Consistent with social, economic and other essential considerations, from among
the reasonable alternatives available, the proposed Project is one which
minimizes or avoids adverse environmental effects to the maximum extent
practicable;

including

the effects disclosed

in the

environmental

impact

statements; and
3.

Consistent with social, economic and other essential considerations, to the
maximum extent practicable, adverse environmental effects revealed in the

�environmental impact statement process will be minimized or avoided by
incorporating as conditions to the decision those mitigative measures that were
identified as practicable.

�Resolution Appointing Teresa Robinson and Leta Pegram
As Matrons for the Police Department
WHEREAS, New York State law requires that females that have been placed
under arrest may only be searched and guarded by female police officers or
matrons that have received training from the Department of Correction; and
WHEREAS, the Sleepy Hollow Police Department has only one civilian matron
that meets these qualifications and one female police officer who is presently
unable to perform these duties; and
WHEREAS, the efficiency of the Police Department and the safety of police

expeditiously available should the search of a female arrestee become necessary

facility; and
WHEREAS, utilizing civilian matrons rather than police officers to provide these
services is more fiscally prudent and a more efficient use of the department
limited resources; and

training by the Department of Correction and have significant experience in
performing these duties; and
WHEREAS, both Ms. Robinson and Ms. Pegram have expressed an interest in

Now Therefore Be It Resolved, that the Village Sleepy Hollow Board of Trustees
hereby informs the Westchester County Board of Elections, New York State Board of
Elections, and New York State Attorney General of its strong objection to the most
recent voting procedures and machines and demands in the strongest possible manner

that this is the fourth public meeting about parking in the manor and that there are other

community but people will agree that he is right.

Introduction

Lighthouse Landing
Tlie goal of th« Ughthouss Landing
davelopmsnl is to craala a modal for 'Sniart Growth'
community davalopmanL Such devaiopmeiils are
dasignAd to creala an afficieni, transit oriented,
mulli-ijse environmanl that mixes amployment,
shopping and housing. At the cora of tha smart
growth deveiopment strategy for Ughthouse Landing
is tha iwognition that sharing m o u r n s is often
smarter than duplicating resources. The evolution
of a more integrative and elTicient community-basad
planning strategy opens up significant oppoftunilies
for maximizing ttia rasources of the oomnHinily as
a whole. The efTidsncy thai Is created where all
of its assets are integrated has an impact on the
community's physical, cultural, social, economic,
organizational and educational resources.
The smart growth dav
t format yields
a connected, safe, pedestrian-friendly environmanl
designed for wahing instead of driving, facilitating
community intaraclion and neighborliness. The goal
is not total aliminalion of car use, but rather, the use
of the car for every daily trip. As a result, a connected
community develapfflant of this type has lower levels
of automobile utilization, can employ shared paildng
anangements and IrafCc management programs
such a s shuttle buses for short local trips to worit or
connections to commuter rail stations.

community. It is this rainvestmant that will make
Lighthouse Landing a sustainable developmeni,
harmonious with its neighbors and compatible with
smart growth policy goals of the village.
The guidelines ilustntad here are designed
to encourage the devalapment of the Lighthouse
Landing as a viable mixed-use community with a
range of land uses induding retail, housing and office
Tha l(ey to sustaining a mix of uses of this type is
smploydasignconlrol over Die scale and urban lormol
each building regardless of use and a flexible gridded
developrTtenI framework that can accommodate a
range of building types. Unlike the typical suburban
developmeni potlem where a separate 'stand alone'
building form is the norm, in Ihe Lighthouse Landing,
tha objective is to create an environment w l h visual
continuity and a user-friendly public realm.

This approach to community developmeni
encourages owners and occupants to continually
reinvest economicatiy and emotionally in Iheir

UghUiouse Landing has the opportunity to reinrorce
and retine the qualities for developing healthy
communilies tor the Village of Sleepy Hollow. In
order to achieve this positive sense of place, design
standards will ensure that basic urban design
pnndples are followed.
The guidelines begin with urban design standards
which create an organized and unlHed community
The fundamental elements of the development
regulated by these guidelines include Street Design,
Architectural Design and Open S p a c e Design.'
Historically, design guidelines have focused on
cosmetic issues, such as lar&gt;dscape improvements
and architectural treatments. These issues beconne
more effective when implemenled with the appropriate
comprehensive urban design principles. T h e Design
SLandants will address a range of subjects from
Ihe macro issues of Ihe village design to the micro
concerns of arcJiitectural detailing, all being important
contribuling factors in creating cohesive, sustainable
community devetopment.

s|&gt;aces. Equally important Is Ihe scale of these
elements, which relates lo their atnlily to welcome
and engage the pedestrian realm. The following
principles address critical village design Issues
guiding Ihe development of Lighthouse Landing.

Lighthouse Landing will implement a street system
designed to incorporate numerous traffic calming
elements. These traffic calming measures intend to
slow traffic speed to a level compatible wilh blcyde
and pedestrian traffic while maintaining safe, easy
passage for emergency response vehksles.
Mixed u s e development within land bays and
where appropriate within buildings, adds a sense
of vitality and interest to the larger communily. The
development provides an opportunity to mix uses
both horizontally within the site and vertically within
buildings. Wilhin the core the intent of mixing
uses provides extended hours of activity, a sense
of community, and reduces dependency on the
automobile.

Buildings k&gt;cated close lo streets and roadways give
definition to the street as a public realm, and create a
comfortable sense of place for pedestrians. Building
Heights and Massing shall vary yet respect Ihe
height and scale set by neighboring buildings. While
emphasis should be made on the transparency of
the street facade, consideration, where appropriate,
should also t&gt;e paid to any elevation visible from
public areas and circulalion routes. Buildings will
be placed adjacent to roadways with minimal
setbacks from the curb. The front elevations and
building entrances will face major roads. Within the
community, buildings should exhibit a commitment
to quality design in their approach lo color, materials
and massing. Architectural inspiration should draw
upon local and regional styles and offer a variety of
typologies distributed throughout the development
conlribuling to a sense of diversity.

Lot s U e s and geometry are designed to encourage
an efficient use of land, define public greens and
maintain a strong sireel edge. Building front, side
and rear yard setback dimensions will be reduced
from typical standards to increase the sense of
spatial definition and urban community. Setback
dimensions will provide adequate room for sidewalks,
streetscape improvements and. where appnjpriate.
private landscape improvements between building and
sidewalk. Minimal and varying setbacks contribute
lo the village character of the development

Streets will link in an informal grid network and be
pari of and contribute to the pedestrian system of
walkways and open space amenities. Careful design
Ueatment of streets and sidewalks is cnlical to

�Design Intent
Thedesign approach will shift the emphasis from aeeommodaling
vehicular traffic to encouraging pedestrian movement. The
automobile, with appropriate traffic calming iniUatives (narrower
streets, on'Streel parl(ir&gt;g. clearly defined sidewalks and special
paving at critical locations), can be compatible with, and
contribute to. a pedestrian friendly environment. Streets will
be interconnected to distribute traffic evenly througtwut the
community. The street frameworii will support a vride range of
land uses, and create a public infrastructure that encourages
pedestrian activity, street life, and a sense of community and
place.

Street Design

Street Standards
C u r b Radii
Intersection and entrance drive radii dimensions assoaated
w th the public and private streets will be kept lo minimum sizes
to reduce traffic speed and make pedestrian crossings less
daunUng. Typical Curb Radii shall be 5'-15' to reduce pedestrian
crossing distances and reduce car speed at intersections.
Typical alley curb Radii shall be 5'. In limited Instances larger
curt) radii may be used to accommodate loading, service, or
over-sized vehicle requirements.
Alleys

creating a sutHjrban edge. Alleys minimize the hazards of
vehicles moving across sidewalks

'

Curb Cuts
Are the entrances and driveways lhat interrupt the sireel curb
line. The Lighthouse Landing Master Plan minimizes curb cuts
through the use of shared entrances and alleys that separate
driveway traffic from street IratTic. Fewer curb cuts also improve
traffic safety, Numerous curb cuts on streets fac ng pubiif
spaces are discouraged.

On-Slreet Parking
Throughout the community, on-street paridng will tielp reduce
parking lot and garage sizes and have a calming effect on
roadway IrafTic. On-street parking also enhances Ihe sidewalk
environment for pedestrians by providing a buffer between
pedestrians and moving cars,
Two-way Traffic
All streets will accommodate two-way traffic with the exception
of the one-way split around Ihe Village Green, the Ptaza and
Irain station drop off area.
Bicyclists
In order to best accommodate both cyclists and pedestrians, the
Master Plan for Lighthouse Landing emphasizes street design
thai alters its orientation fiom an auto-only to pedeslrianfriendly
multi-modal environment that stimulates community, personal
interaction a s well a s safe travel, Successful neighborhood
streets are those that encourage people to walk and ride
bikes lo access k&gt;cal destinalJans. This will be accomplished
m Lighthouse Landing through narrower roadways and travel
lanes, shorter blocks, terminaling vistas, a grid network of
slreels wilh multiple connections and ample slreelscape
amenities. These design elements calm motorized traffic which
is key to providing a safe environment for pedestrian oriented
street activity including biking. A bicycle netvraric consisting of
on-slreet and off-street palhs should be provided.

The issue is to select architeclural design that has the inleghty
and resolution lo be compatible with sunounding buildings and

public space becomes an overarching organizational element
for the community. A goal of the development is to provide
green spaces and recreational amenities In a broad range
of landscape settings, such as retail streels wilh landscaped
sidewalks, a village green with pedestrian amenities, pocket
parks, plazas, patios, and natural areas with walking trails
Where appropriate, portions of existing vegetation will be
presereed and incorporated into the development.

Central Park
The Central Park is Ihe center piece of the Open S p a c e
Strategy for the community. It is a great wedge shaped parts
wh ch njn» for 3 blocks between Road Four and Road One.
Mainly edged by Residenlial buildings it provides a community
space not orly for the community of Lighthouse Landing but to
the larger Village of Sleepy Hollow community. It opens out the
Southern end of the community lo the Waterfront. It is more
fonnal in nature than the other pocket parks and provides a
passive recreational space to the community.

T h e plan includes Ihe following components:
Neighborhood Parks
The Townhome District includes a series of intimate landscaped
spaces wilhin the blocks to provide a variety of community space
which IS more private in nature. T h e s e spaces provide Ihe open
space infrastructure to the immediate surrounding residents
and help in inducing a sense of distinct neighborhoods wilhin

The Hotel Walerfronl Plaza at Ihe terminus of Beekman Place
anchors Ihis mixed use district and provides a platform for
variety of aclivilies that enhance Ihe sense of community
Various green spaces throughout the community play a role
in enhancing neighborhood interaction by providing exterior
gathering spaces for chance and informal social interaction.
Village Green
Village Green forms an integral part of Ihe Pocket Park structure
and provides a Gateway into Lighthouse Landing. It forms an
important dvic anival point to Ihe community. Central lo the
village, ihe green will accommodate informal recreation aclivilies
lhat utilize the sloping topography of the site and open view of
the Hudson river along Beekman Avenue Axis.
L a n d s c a p e d Streets, S i d e w a l k s a n d Trails
Various informal parks and open spaces will be linked wilhin

�L a n d s c a p e Design
Landscaping is one of Ihe rare sile inveslmenis lhat improves
v(ilh age and is therefore an important component in ensuring
the long-term viability ol Lighthouse Landing as a community.
Landscaping should be ulilized extensively in the open spaces
lo add softness, texture and color to the hard surfaced public
areas, DomlnanI plant materials should be used throughout the
areas a s a unifying element of Ihe overall plan.
Three basic rules apply to all landscaping:
K e e p the design simple — Landscaping should emphasize
simplicity of design. Qualily and durab lily are much easier to
achieve with simple, straightforwarxJ designs.
Use quality materials — Quality materials age well, stand up to
abuse and have a comparatively long life expectancy.
Provide easily maintained installations — The best design,
implemented with quality materials, is ineffective if it is not
maintained
The following items should be considered m (he landscape
design of Lighthouse Landing:
Cofor and Specimen Material
To be efficient, color and specimen matenai must be used
generously in a few l(ey locations. Selecting a few highly visible
locations is more effective than sprinkling color in small patches
over the total sile.
Massing and Grouping of Plant Material
Large groupings of a singte species is preferred lo planting a
large area with numerous species. Trees and shrubt&gt;ery should
be respectfut ol Ihe sumjunding scale ol both sireet and building
dimensions.
Maintenance E d g e s
Mainlenance edges provide an important sense of orderliness.
Lawn areas should be separated from landscaped beds with
edging such a s concrete walks, steel edging or curbi&lt;^g.

Security and Surveillance
Plant material should be confined lo 36" and lower, and tree
canopy (tree limbs and leaves) should begin at 12" and above
to allow for visual surveillance and a sense of secunty,

Landscape Materials

Edging Material - Plant bed edging, mowing strips or other
edging materials are encouraged.
Evergreen S h r u b s - Shall De selected from vanelies of winlerhardy shrubs commonly found in the mid-Atlantic region They

Ornamental Trees - Nomtally 12' lo 2S' lall at matunty.
ornamental trees should be planted for a t x e n i s and visual
emphasis.
Streetscape &amp; Canopy Trees - Used between the building
zone and the street edge, streetscape and canopy trees shouM
be major deciduous Irees. They may be located either within
sidewalk planters or in planting lones between Ihe sidewalk
and curb. The minimum prefenad size Is

Resolution #: 02/15/2011
Whereas, the Village of Sleepy Hollow is currently negotiating a contract with the
bargaining unit for the PBA; and
Whereas, the Village is desirous of retaining former Chief of Police John Kapica to
assist in the negotiations with a view towards protecting the best interests of the Village
and its taxpayers and residents; and
Whereas, the Village believes the retention of John Kapica for this purpose will be a
cost saving measure for the Village in so far as the Village will not have to pay more
costly legal fees customarily incurred during the actual negotiations;
Now, therefore, be it resolved, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow
hereby retains John Kapica for the sole purpose of assisting in the negotiating of a
contract with the PBA on behalf of the Village at an hourly rate of $80 per hour; and
Be it further resolved, John Kapica is not authorized to work more than 8 hours per
week for the aforementioned purpose; and
Be it further resolved, notwithstanding the above, in the event John Kapica has
assisted in the police budget process subsequent to the expiration of his contract with
the Village, and in the event that it is solely at the Village's request, he shall be paid at
the rate of $80 per hour.

GENERAL MOTORS PUBLIC HEARING MEETING
February 15,2011

At 7:03 p.m. the meeting was called to order by Mayor Kenneth G. Wray.
Present:

Mayor Kenneth G. Wray
Deputy Mayor Thomas Capossela
Karin Wompa
Bruce Campbell
Barbara Carr
Evelyn Stupel
David Schroedel, Trustees

Also Present: Anthony Giaccio, Village Administrator
Janet Gandolfo, Village Attorney
Paula McCarthy, Village Clerk
Sean E. McCarthy, Village Building Inspector
Richard Gross, General Foreman
Gregory Camp, Police Chief
Agenda:
Public Hearing to consider the revised plan submitted by General Motors,
Public Hearing Mayor Wray stated that the public hearing is to discuss the revised plan
submitted by General Motors.
Village Clerk read the public notice aloud for the record.
Andy Tung from the consulting firm of Divney Tung Schwalbe, LLP is
representing the applicant. He stated that the Riverfront Development Concept
Plan (RDCP) has evolved from the FEIS alternative plan. He presented a site plan
that detailed the proposed open space. He stated that the plan consists of 3
parcels. East, West and South. He stated that the public open space on the west
parcel is 16.1 acres in total and it will be turned over to the Village. He also
stated that the other component of public use on the east parcel is 28 acres and
0.4 acres on the south parcel. He stated that public streets will become part of
the Village's public street system.
Andy Tung spoke about the special permit and the RF District zoning. He spoke
about the proposed commercial corridor on Beekman Place. He spoke about the
numerous water access points which include the fishing piers, dock and dine,
boat house and boat launch area.

�Andy Tung spoke about the revised mixed-use development. He stated that it
includes a movie theatre, market, retail space and a hotel. He stated that the
residential component consists of 1177 units. He also spoke about the proposed
street systems. He stated that the roads widen as you get closer to the Hudson
River.
Andy Tung spoke about the 5 changes in the FEIS alternative plan and the
specific changes in the RDCP and the FEIS. He spoke about each in detail. They
included:
1) The realignment of the intersection of River Ave and Beekman Ave. He
also spoke about the open space and proposed landscape buffer between
the site and Ichabod's Landing.
2) Change in Building M. He stated that the retail and restaurant areas have
been extended in some areas to be closer to the water.
3) Widening of the buffer between Kingsland Point Park and the
development.
4) The adjustment of building height near the Metro North railroad tracks.
He stated that the building heights have been reduced to comply with the
RF District zoning requirements and to reflect the reduction in the number
of proposed residential units.
5) Lastly, the proposed Village facilities on the east parcel will be constructed
by the Village in lieu of being constructed by the applicant. He stated that
the developer will provide funding towards the construction of those
facilities.
Andy Tung stated that the Village performed a comprehensive planning process
when the GM plant was closing. He stated that the Local Waterfront
Revitalization Plan (LWRP), Riverfront (RF) District and Linkage Study were all
created by the Village. He stated that the current plan meets the guidelines of
all of these plans.
Andy Tung stated that the plan was presented to the Waterfront Advisory
Committee (WAC) back in 2005 and again in 2007. He stated that the 2005 plan
was found to be inconsistent with the LWRP but the 2007 plan was found to be
more consistent with some additional conditions. He spoke about the public
access policies, recreation and historic resource policies as well as water and air
resource policies. He stated that the current plan complies with the LWRP.
Andy Tung stated that the RF District was created to reinforce the LWRP and
make the waterfront accessible. It was also created to protect river views.
Andy Tung spoke about how the Linkage Study evaluated how the waterfront
can be developed today. He stated that the proposed design criteria include

�possible materials to be used as well as streetscapes, etc. He stated that these
criteria are the baselines for the architecture of the proposed buildings. He also
stated that the riverfront will also have economic stimulus and revitalization for
the Village.
Mayor Wray opened the meeting to public comments. He evoked the 5 minute
rule for those who wish to comment.
Dan Scott a resident of Ichabod's Landing addressed the l^ayor and the Board
and stated that there should be a public vote or survey to ensure that the public
is represented. He stated that this process should not delay the action of getting
GM on the tax roll for the full assessed value of the development. He stated that
the Village will receive $11.5 Million. He stated that he feels that this number is
grossly undervalued and he wants a more detailed explanation.
Mayor Wray stated that all written comments can be submitted to the Village
Clerk, Paula McCarthy.
Richard Piano of 215 Harwood Ave read a prepared statement. See attached.
He stated that the Village should obtain special counsel to protect the residents.
Philip Masega is an attorney with River Keeper, addressed the Mayor and the
Board and stated that River Keeper has concerns that have yet to be addressed.
He stated that a supplemental EIS is warranted and should be conducted. He
stated that NYS recently started a sea-level rise task force. He stated that this
needs to be taken into consideration during the development of the site. He
stated that this site is highly contaminated. He stated that the proposed
development needs to be remediated enough to support these proposed uses.
He stated that the initial remediation was not completed since the initial plan fell
through. He highly recommended that the Village should withdraw the negative
declaration and restart the SEQRA process.
Jack Gasko a resident of Webber Ave addressed the Mayor and the Board and
stated that historical governmental projects cost overruns should serve as an
example of the potential impacts to the Village. He stated that the developer
should make all necessary connections and upgrades and the Village should
accept it without bearing the financial burden.
Cynthia Sandler of Palmer Ave, addressed the Mayor and the Board and
submitted a letter from her father, Nicholas Robinson. She read the letter aloud
for the record. See attached.

�Michael Compton of Gory Brook Road addressed the Mayor and the Board and
spoke about energy efficiency. He stated that going back to a plan from several
years ago should be re-evaluated for energy uses based on changes in
technology. He stated that urban designs should include the creation of jobs.
He stated that office uses should be considered so that transportation factors
could be reduced when planning this new community.
Jeffrey Anzovino from Scenic Hudson addressed the Mayor and the Board and
spoke about the walkway connection on the Hudson River. He stated that the
proposed development includes many of the key features from the water
dependent and enhanced uses, connection to developed areas and the urban
design. He stated that there has been a lot of progress in the plan from the
initial concept to the current version. He stated that a narrowly scoped
supplemental EIS should be performed to address some outstanding issues. He
stated that there is still no public access to the Hudson River. He also stated
that the Brownfield remediation needs to be studied by an expert. He stated
that the pile of concrete on the site should be better protected so that it is not
such a nuisance.
David Bedell, Village resident and Village Environmental Advisory Council Chair,
asked several questions. See letter attached.
Chuck Lanckester, a resident of Sleepy Hollow Manor and President of the
SHMA spoke about the potential tax benefits to the community. He stated that
there are still many concerns at the site and that water and sewage demands of
the site have not been properly addressed. He also stated that the traffic in the
area still needs to be managed. He stated that the attractive retail and
entertainment activities at the site will bring traffic into the site.
At 8:02 p.m. Mayor Wray noted that the Tax Grievance Day Hearing is now
closed.
Theresa Brown, a local Village resident, addressed the Mayor and the Board
and stated that the people who spoke tonight are all concerned about the
Village's liability for potential litigation on contaminated areas. She stated that
the Village should not repeat the past experiences from the Duracell site. She
stated that the DEC will do the minimum required to remediate the site. She
stated that multi-family housing has lesser standards than single family housing.
She stated that the material under the slab needs to be better understood. She
stated that a recent study along the Pocantico River found many heavy metals
that were not present in 2001. She asked about the Special Permit process.

�John Lofaro of Pine Street addressed the Mayor and the Board and stated that
something needs to be built at the site. He stated that the issues with GM
should be worked out.
Mario Belanich of North Washington Street addressed the Mayor and the Board
and stated that any claims need to be proven. He stated that there are no
problems with trees growing in the area; he said trees have been growing there
by themselves. He stated that he worked at the site for 40 years, and there's
nothing wrong with him, he still has all his hair. He stated that the issues raised
are only delaying the development process. He stated that the Village should
work with GM in the development of the site. He stated that the traffic issues in
the area are exaggerated. He stated that over 300 trailers arrived at the site
every day when the plant was in operation and that it closed 15 years ago.
Dan Scott of Ichabod's Landing spoke again. He stated that the Village needs
to be cautious in dealing with GM. He stated that GM will only be looking at the
interests of the stakeholders and not the Village. He stated that the plan should
not move forward without an official developer, and suggested that the Board
should share all the information they have.
Michael Compton of Gory Brook Road spoke again. He wanted to state that
GM is a good company but it's still a company with deep resources. He stated
that the true intentions of GM are not known. He also asked about the Village's
leverage in these negotiations.
Since there were no further public comments. Mayor Wray stated that the public
hearing will be continued at the Village's next Board meeting on Tuesday,
February 22, 2011.
At 8:24 p.m. Trustee Schroedel made a motion to adjourn. Trustee Stupel
seconded. It was unanimous (6-0).
Respectfully Submitted,

Paula A. McCarthy
Village Clerk

Mayor Wray and Board of Trustees
Village of Sleepy Hollow

Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591
Dear Mayor and Board,
Thank you for the hours of personal time you have dedicated to the improvement of the Village of Sleepy Hollow.
I am certain that much of this time has been focused on the proposed development of the former GM Assembly
Plant site. However, I must question whether this Board, and previous Boards, has been focused upon quickly
returning the GM property to the tax rolls. I would like to point out to the Board that getting an increase in tax
revenue one year earlier may have little positive impact over the long term; but if done improperly, an agreement
executed in haste could have large detrimental impacts in the future.
My own principle areas of concern are what appears to be a reduction in and delay of amenities (now seemingly
replaced by cash) coming from GM, the ultimate benefit to tax payers in the Village, and the protection of the
Village from any environmental remediation costs in the future.
As witnessed by its continued determination to reduce its tax liability to the community, GM has not demonstrated
any particular generosity to the Village, and it is not required to. Its management must focus upon the maximization
of benefits for GM stakeholders. This maximization will happen for GM when costs associated with the
development are socialized to the greatest extent possible; in other words to have various governmental units pick up
costs wherever they can be pushed off (for instance roads, tree planting, water, sewage, ftjture environmental
remediation). It is up to the Village Board to push the hardest it can in the other direction, to make sure that GM, the
company which will privatize for its own whatever profit it can, is picking up the costs for the development it wants.
Many neighbors and I question whether what appears to be a reduction in and delay of amenities from GM is not a
capitulation to their demands. Similarly we are concerned, as detailed in a separate letter from Nick Robinson, that
the Village will become responsible for future environmental remediation on land dedicated for public use. We
have been told that GM, while still in existence, will retain that liability, and that insurance will be provided to cover
any liability on the Village's part. As someone engaged professionally on the insurance side, I would like to point
out that environmental insurance, if available, is a manuscript contract and will conform to the wishes of whoever is
paying the bill. In other words, if GM pays for the contract it will be written to tightly protect the interests of GM,
not the Village. The Village must obtain expert legal advice in this area to make sure that its interests are protected.
A previous Board apparently did not take similar advice which we offered when it took ownership of the battery
plant site in the inner village, a decision which may have negative financial implications for the Village.
In summary, every decision the Board makes should be for the long tenn benefit of the Village of Sleepy Hollow, to
improve its beauty and to protect its history and to reduce ftiture tax burdens upon its citizens. Long term tax relief
and environmental protection should not be sacrificed for quick and inadequate solutions, even if it delays the
development. After all, GM has been paying next to nothing to the Village over the past decades; another year or
two won't matter. The Board must exercise its authority to protect the Village from any reasonably foreseeable
future problems or costs. The Board should be able to clearly demonstrate the efficacy of its decisions to the
residents of this Village, and by this letter I am requesting such demonstration.
Sincereljy.

�Mayor Wray and Board of Trustees:
My name is
I live at
Thank you for holding this public
hearing. I am submitting a letter from my father, Nicholas Robinson of
258 Kelbourne Ave. who is teaching a class tonight and cannot attend.
We do ml think you are ready yet to grant a Special Use Permit to GM
because major environmental questions remain to be answered. I'll
mention 6.
1] The plans do not show how the developer will cope with the 3 to 6
foot rise in the Hudson River water level, already underway. As
proposed, this plan will flood.
2) The plans fail to show how trees will be planted in the composite
fill of incinerator ash that GM used to create the site.
3) This is a brown fields site, full of hazardous chemicals, and your
Village Land Use Controls must protect us during construction
and in the design phase, providing safeguards where the New
York State DEC leaves off. But you have not shown how you will
do this.
4) GM contaminated the Hudson for decades, and as lead agency for
sJl the environmental reviews, you need to show this and show
how the area offshore of GM can be safely used for recreation.
5) Your plan shifts the responsibility and cost of most public
amenities from the developer to the Village taxpayers. We only
agreed to such a dense and urban development because the
developer [Roseland) promised to mitigate the density with
public parks. We're in a recession and your proposed changed
plans alter all the former socio-economic factors. Cut the density
in half or do the environmental reviews to justify the density.
6) The Village lacks both enough water and enough water pressure
to supply the new residents, and you fail to show how water will
be supplied.
Please go back and do a proper supplemental environmental impact
statement and do not grant any permits yet. Thank you.
I am handing in the original letter and 8 copies for each Trustee.

BY HAND DELIVERY

RE: SEQRA Negative Declaration and Proposed Special Use Permit for
General Motors
Dear Mayor Wray and Trustees,
According to reports in the press, it seems that you have adopted a formal declaration that
there will be no negative environmental impacts associated with your decision to issue a special use
permit to General Motors for the development of the redesigned "Lighthouse Landing Riverfront
Development Concept Plan" for the project originally designed by Roseland and GM. There seem to be
few - If any - public copies of the Neg. Dec. or of the draft proposed special use permit available, so it is
difficult to comment extensively about these documents. Nonetheless, for the reasons set forth below,
it is evident that there is insufficient environmental impact analysis to sustain your adopting any Neg.
Dec. and thus no foundation for the Board of Trustees to issue as yet any Special Use Permit. If you do
so, you will violate the letter and spirit of our Village and State environmental impact review laws.
The facts of the 2007 Findings Statement adopted by your predecessors have changed, and you
need to update your environmental analysis. The changes are clear: the Great Recession of 2008 has
changed the economic facts. The resignation of Roseland has changed the facts associated with the
developer's obligations. The decision of the State Supreme Court has altered the Findings Statements,
and the intricate relations among the Findings need to be revisited and revised to accommodate the
Court's decispon,^and most importantly the State of New York now makes it clear that the GM site will
be underwater as the sea levels rise. There are other changes also, identified in this letter. You need to
supplement the environmental record by addressing these changes. GM, as a good corporate neighbor,
should not sweep these changes under the carpet and ignore them. You, as our elected trustees, owe us
a duty to examine all significant environmental impacts closely. The project, as described in GM's
"Environmental Assessment Narrative (December 14, 2010) will cost Village tax payers billions of dollars

�in new public expenditures and puts any development of the Village's edgelands along the Tappan Zee
at risk. I urge you to put aside the rush to issue a special use permit, and to take a hard look at the
environmental problems inherent in the revised Lighthouse Landing Riverfront Development Concept
Plan. The changes are not minor, they are huge, and the prior environmental studies by Roseland, GM
and the Village do not support these changes.
I respectfully urge you to reverse your decision to make your determination under the NY State
Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) that there will be no adverse environmental impacts by
granting a Special Use Permit for the development of the General Motors site. Please undertake further
environmental impact reviews as required by SEQRA. In light of the facts below, you were wrong to
adopt the Negative Declaration, and before you have a record suitable for determining if the Special Use
Permit provides adequate environmental safeguards, it is unwise and improper to grant a Special Use
Permit. People have lived in Sleepy Hollow for several hundred years. If you want the "Lighthouse
Landing" development to be well built and last at least the next century, you will need to require rather
different design standards and conditions for development on this site.
For the reasons set forth below, the environmental impacts of the proposed Special Use Permit
have not been adequately examined, and if this project is approved it appears that the proposed GM
project potentially will saddle our Village tax payers with millions of dollars of new costs in order to
ameliorate the impacts resulting from the great bulk, density and traffic impacts resulting from GM's
revised "Riverfront Development Concept Plan." The revised plan has the potential to endanger the
public health and environment because the plan lacks safeguards to cope with the hazardous chemical
conditions present on the site, and omits environmentally sound standards for planting trees and park
development on the ash landfill areas of the GM site. The protection of the Hudson River at the GM site
is inadequate. Moreover, by rushing through the Neg. Dec, the public has been precluded from
discussing these impacts and has been denied its opportunity to examine how the environmental
impacts of the project will be avoided or mitigated.
As proposed, this project put the Village at risk in the following aspects.
Sea Level Rise - NY State has completed its analysis of the impacts of climate changed induced
sea level rise. See www.dec.ny.gov and Executive Order 24 (2009). This official report was not available
previously, although I cited to developers and your prior Board the scientific reports on sea level rise
from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the DEC's Climate Change Program for the
Hudson River Estuary. None of the design standards in your EIS documents, nor apparently any
conditions of the proposed Special Use Permit, address the fact that the Tappan Zee will be from 3-5
feet higher in the coming 4 score of years. During the life-time of "Lighthouse Landing," the sea levels
may rise as much as twice that estimate; the Dutch, who settled our Village, are implementing a national
climate change plan that builds coastal defenses anticipating as much as a 2 meter (6 foot) rise in sea
level. See www.deltacommissie.com/doc/deltarport summary.pdf. Moreover, the US Weather Service
storm surge estimates show a significant flooding is possible on the GM site from the Hudson. Sea level
rise is a current reality, and other municipalities are making decisions based on this fact. For example,
New York City is currently at work to address this sea level rise in all its decisions regarding its coastal

�land uses. It is folly for the Village of Sleepy Hollow not to take into account the same sea level rise data
for an the as yet vacant GM site. Your predecessor Trustees approved a strengthening of the then much
deteriorated bulkhead for Ichabod's Landing, along the Hudson navigation channel, that will last only
perhaps 50 years, instead of agreeing to recommendations to rebuild the bulkhead entirely.
Comparable mistakes should not be made for the entire GM waterfront. As a condition of
development, you must require GM to redesign the coastal rip rap and land fill in order to protect
upland development from the higher water levels in the Tappan Zee. Today there is both new official
assessment and the new scientific reports on sea level rise, and GM as the Applicant should have been
required to supplement the SEQRA record with this information, and you should have decided to have a
Supplemental Environmental Impact Assessment to deal with these issues.
Planting Trees and the Arborist - The City of New York in PLANYC is providing for the planting of
one million new trees to make the City "safe" for the heightened temperatures associated with sea level
rise. The Village of Sleepy Hollow was promised mature trees for the GM site but the applicants
Roseland and GM refused to precede design specifications for how to plant trees in an ash landfill. The
Planning Board determined that large "tree vaults": would need to be dug out of the ash landfill, and
refilled with soil in which trees could grow and mature. The new fill is also required to safeguard
residents in case a wind storm (like the small tornado the Village experienced recently) up roots trees
and the soil around the root is exposed, and new trees need to be planted. The ash land full is toxic,
which is why this is a "brownfields site." None of the ash landfill should be exposed to workers or the
public, and must be encapsulated. When GM and Roseland refused to provide information on how to
plant trees on the site, they agreed to hire an arborist to do so. In the GM law suit against the Village's
Final Environmental Impact Statement findings, I gather argued that it was not its job to provide an
arborist to design the tree vaults. The trees cannot sit in little tubs on the surface. Since the Village
accepted the court decision, it is now up to the Village to provide in a Supplemental EIS how it will
provide for the design of trees on the site. The trees are needed both for the streetscapes, for
moderating temperatures as discussed in PLANYC, and for the park spaces. It is wrong to decide to
adopt a Negative Declaration with regard to trees on the site. They are a fundamental element of the
design but there is nothing to show how they will be able to be planted and grow safely, of in sufficient
numbers for sustaining the environmental quality of the development.
Toxic Waste - The GM site is contaminated. Your predecessors failed to require an adequate
clean-up of the Mallory Battery plant site and adjacent homes at Barnhart Park and in approving a
brownfields development for GM you risk making the same mistake. Do you not owe our present Village
residents the highest duty of care to protect their health? Do you not owe the future residents of
Lighthouse Landing your complete care for their wellbeing? Do you not owe the Village's future
residents of Lighthouse Landing your complete care for their wellbeing? The Village has concurrent and
over-lapping authority with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) on many of the
issues associated with the ash landfill on this site. The Village has had a consulting hazardous waste
engineer for its negotiations with the DEC and GM about the clean-up of some of the worst toxic waste
on the site, and this engineer was consulted with respect to the DEIS and FEIS under SEQRA. You
apparently have failed to consult with, or share with the public, any further findings by this engineer

�about the GM site after the court decision, and that decision altered many of the findings in the FEIS.
Once the findings were changed, the entire FEIS needed to be reviewed and the safeguards provided for
the changes aspects of the land uses being approved on this site as an ash landfill. There is no soil on the
site west of the Metro North railway tracks; this area of the Hudson was filled completely with ash from
Con Edison incinerators and from City of New York refuse incinerators. The land fill is a mix of ash
containing lead and heavy metals, and can only be used safely as a place for residences and parks /Fit is
encapsulated and kept from human contact. This means that during construction no dust should be
allowed to be blown around and into adjacent neighborhoods or into the Hudson. This means that all
roads beds and utilities need to be buried in clean trenches where the ash landfill has been removed
from the site. These, and many other land use decisions that take into account the unique contaminated
nature of this site, need to be reflected in the environmental conditions of the Special use Permit. It is
insufficient simply to say the Village will rely on DEC to make the brownfields determinations. The DEC
will not make the land use determinations that are fully within the Village's land use authority, and for
which SEQRA and the Village's local SEQRA law require the Village to make the environmental
assessments. Before you should have adopted the Neg. Dec, you should has reassessed how the ash
landfill conditions on the site will be managed in the Special use Permit so as to prevent any
endangerment of the public health contamination of the public health or the ambient environment,
including the Hudson and Pocantico river systems.
Hudson River Sediments - The Lighthouse Landing development contemplates new marinas
and coastal uses at the edge of the site. The Village's borders run out into the Hudson, and for years
General Motors dumped waste into the Hudson from its automobile assembly plant. GM's site and the
land use plans for Icabod's Landing do not end at the "water's edge." There were discussions about
bringing the steel and construction equipment to the GM site by rail; there were discussions about
providing recreational fishing facilities on the GM. There are plans for boat launching consistent with the
Village and State Waterfront Revitalization Act provisions. Before the SEQRA documents can be
considered to be complete, much less sustain a Neg. Dec, the environmental relationship between the
Hudson sediments, their remediation, and the site development, will need to be set forth fully. Because
these issues were not fully developed in the record, and the GM/Roseland litigation has confused the
status of how the record supports (or no longer supports) the issues of the Hudson sediments and site
development, you should require a Supplement Els and come to an understanding of these issues. By
proceeding without doing so, you deprive the public of an opportunity to understand how the GM site
can be part of a restoration OF THE Hudson and Tappan Zee's ecosystems and coastal recreational and
other activities. This concerns all those who use the Hudson, not just the residents of Sleepy Hollow.
SEQRA invests you with a fiduciary duty to protect the entire environment here by your decisions. Every
Hudson River town is a steward for the River, our common and shared resource. Please do not duck this
responsibility.
Density- The existing record is based on incomplete and out-of-date socio-economic and
traffic studies, and after the court decision, you can no longer rely upon the record as of 2007 to
support the density and substantial bulk of new development and new land uses proposed on the GM
site. The facts have changed, and you need to update the studies. Once the court decision changed the

�Trustees' Findings, the environmental assumptions were unavoidably changed as a consequence.
Rather than openly re-evaluate with the public what the revisions meant for the prior SEQRA record, it
appears that the Trustees have met quietly with GM to reconfigure parts of the Project, without reassessing objectively the implications of these changes for the environment. For example, it seems from
the "Environmental Assessment Narrative" (December 14, 2010) that the Trustees have held discussions
between GM and the Board about changing the terms of the development, and have made no serious
attempt to set forth the environmental impact assessments and data that support the changes.
Here are examples of how the Trustees and GM have changed the Lighthouse Landing plan
without supplementing the record to support that changes: How, for example, is a 70% ownership
requirement (if the Village even has the authority to make such a requirement legally, which may be
doubted) likely to change the enrollment of school age youth in the public schools? Are the design
provisions for school bus access adequate? What other alternatives for land use should be considered
today? What exactly are the results of traffic testing and scenarios with respect to the design of the
possible new railroad crossing to link to Continental Street and Pocantico Street to the West side
development on the GM site? What are the costs of condemning properties along Continental Street to
widen the road and provide access? What archaeological digs will be required before you do so, since
the Colonial 17* century village pier at the Sleepy Hollow Bay was at the foot of Continental Street,
which is one of the oldest roads in the Village? No traffic studies or modeling was in the prior FEIS for
this, so how can a Neg. Dec. be adopted without any data to support it?
Beyond such questions, the prior Village Board's adoption of the FEIS was based on an
environmental understanding between the Roseland/GM development team and the Village, that the
Village would accept a very dense form for Ichabod's Landing in exchange for the amenities which
Roseland promised, but which GM alone was unwilling to sustain. Once GM persuaded the court to
reject some of the Roseland-promised Findings, the over-all relationships of all the Findings is disrupted
and as a result all the rest of the findings require re-examination. Most obvious among the issues that
affect the over-all environmental quality of the proposed development is density. If there was one issue
public comment addressed above all others, it was that the Roseland project was too dense. Roseland
was upset when the prior Trustees cut-back the density on one building. Now the density of the site is
not related to the rest of the development. For example, the Roseland/GM had promised to build an
emergency fire/ambulance facility to serve their dense little city on the Hudson, but now only $11.5
million is to be provided in lieu not only for the emergency facility, but it seems for all the Roseland/GM
amenities. The FEIS had a detailed tax and socio-economic studies which today are no longer adequate
to sustain the new GM Project, first because the tax aspects have changed vastly (with the Village
taxpayers obliged to abandon or to pay for many of the amenities that Roseland was to have provided),
and second because the Great Recession of 2008 has altered the economic s of all real estate
development, including that along the Hudson River. The socio-economic impact assessments need to
be updated and revised and submitted to public comment. The Village tax-payers will now have to pay
for many of the very project components that ameliorated the density and substantial bulk of the
project; this will cost Village tax payers millions of dollars. They deserve to have those cost estimated
and presented. Do tax payers wish to pay for all the amenities that made the density worthwhile to

�them before 2007? I do not know the answer to this question, but these questions make evident the
obvious and significant socio-economic environmental impacts associated with GM's proposed project,
apparently now agreed to by the Village Trustees. Rather than continuing automatically with the
formally proposed density of the site, with all is impacts, the new socio-economic issues of scale, bulk
and density deserve to be fully set forth in a Supplemental EIS. In particular, the Trustees should explain
the cost to Village tax payers of taking on the former developer's economic burden of paying for the
mitigation measures that ameliorated or off-set the intense bulk and density. There is a big hole in the
environmental record regarding these socio-economic issues. The Neg. Dec. should be reversed and new
information collected and shared with the public through the formal public comment periods that
SEQRA requires.
It appears that you have not conferred with the consultants that prepared the socio-economic
impact assessment studies in the DEIS and FEIS, nor have you conferred with the traffic consultants.
Events have rendered both these consultants' reports incomplete; they cannot be relied upon for your
Neg. Dec. and would not be a complete factual premise for any Special Use Permit. You and GM need to
re-engage these consultants and commission the revised reports that the new project requires.
Developer- Is GM doing to develop this project, or will it sell the project it to another
developer? The Trustees should work with GM to secure a new developer before issuing a Special Use
Permit, and the qualifications of the new developer should be a part of the environmental assessments.
GM builds cars, not shopping centers, hotels and housing complexes. GM nationally was bailed out by
the federal taxpayer, and the Village has allowed GM to beneficially own this site in Sleepy Hollow
virtually tax free for years, through the Town of Mount Pleasant Industrial Development Authority. But
the GM is no longer an industrial site any longer. The Village can be pleased that GM adhered to the
Village law and safely demolished the buildings on the site as it was required to do, recycling many of
the valuable metal materials in the process. The Village can be pleased that the worst toxic waste was
remediated, that the toxic plume under Kingsland Point Park has been treated, and that all the toxic
waste was removed from the Village by railroad car, as per the conditions the Village impacted in the
Building Permit given under Village law for the remediation activity. GM for years was a good employer
and good neighbor.NYS gave GM lots of funding and benefits to keep the North Tarrytown Assembly
Plant open, and notwithstanding these inducements, GM finally closed the plant. The Village does not
owe Roseland or GM any more consideration for the development of the Lighthouse Landing site than
the Villages owes to any other property owner or developer in the Village. While GM has studied its
project, many other developments have been designed, evaluated under SEQRA and built in the Village.
GM has no basis under law to request special treatment from the Trustees. GM should comply fully with
SEQRA, for the benefit of the Village, which will be here long after GM may not be. GM and the Village
both need to acknowledge that the Great Recession of 2007 has changed a great deal of the economic
life of the nation, of New York State and of our Village. Years ago, under our Village waterfront
revitalization plan, the Village insisted that GM select a developer experienced in building on brownfield
sites; Roseland was selected in part because Roseland had done so at several such sites in New Jersey.
Now all the Village has is GM, as an owner, applying for a special use permit, which it will treat as a
"property right," and yet it has not demonstrated to the Village its capacity to be the developer of

�Lighthouse Landing, building the development itself. It is widely speculated that once GM has a special
use permit, it will try to sell it to a new developer. If, in the future, a Village Board may try to scale back
the density, the next owner and developer might claim it is a "taking" of their property rights, and if that
claim stuck then the Village tax payers might have face a claim that they must pay for the lost
speculative value of what is not developed. If the Village condemns the land and retakes it after the
Special Use Permit is given, it might have to face a claim by GM for the lost speculative development
value of this brownfields site. Why do the Trustees enter this land use thicket of problems? Moreover,
why would any new developed want to buy into a site whose design and scale were negotiated by a
developed that fell out with GM and left? Presumably, a new developer will want to amend the Special
Use Permit and avoid further environmental impact reviews, just as GM is doing now. The future of
Sleepy Hollow's waterfront is too important to leave open the fundamental question of just who the
developer is to be. At a minimum, the special use permit should include standards for the qualifications
of any developer that GM brings into this project, and those standards deserve to be part of the
environmental impact assessment reviews required by SEQRA.
Water - In a drought situation, there is not now enough water for the current residents and
businesses in the Village of Sleepy Hollow. The new climate change conditions exacerbate this reality.
The former DEIS and FEIS proposed, among alternatives, constructing a large water tower at the GM site
to provide water and water pressure for the project. Since the revised Lighthouse Landing project seems
to abandon all development east of the MetroNorth railroad tracks, there a new opportunities for
discussing alternatives to meeting the Village's water supply needs For example, a reservoir could be
build in that area, supplied by the clean and fresh waters of the Pocantico River. The Dutch are building
new reservoirs as part of their Action Plan, in places analogous to the area east of the MetroNorth
tracks. Singapore has closed off a brackish estuary to build a freshwater reservoir in a place analogous to
this location in our Village. Your apparent decision with GM to abandon the prior projects proposed land
uses for the GM property east of the MetroNorth tracks now makes it possible for you to undertake a
new assessment alternative uses of this site. SEQRA requires analysis of alternatives, and the lack of
adequate water supplies and water pressure for the GM site makes it imperative that you look at all
possible alternatives. The changes in the proposed Lighthouse Landing project necessitate considering
the reasonable alternative options for providing water for the development and the Village. Moreover,
since the taxpayers will have to devote tax revenues to pay for the costs in order to secure and deliver
water to the site, these studies should be undertaken in a supplemental EUS for the revised GM
proposal.
SEQRA - After the NYS Court ruling in 2010, the Village of Sleepy Hollow could have
commissioned the further environmental studies (e.g. on socio-economic, traffic, land use ash landfill
site specifications, tree plantings, Hudson sediments, density, etc.), to make a record for a supplemental
environmental impact assessment. There are other issues that need to be considered also (such as the
Pocantico River flooding, and the so-called "emergency" road through Kingsland Point Park, which as a
County dedicated Park could not have a new public thoroughfare built through it without violating its
status as a park). Suffice it to say that after the Court remanded the GM application and findings back to
the Village, the Village had a duty to re-examine the environmental impacts and make such further

�findings as would be needed in order to support a Special Use Permit. Beyond the close-door discussion
between GM and the Trustees, all that the public has seen is a document self-styled as an
"Environmental Assessment Narrative" (dated December 14, 2010). While it is not a one of the standard
SEQRA documents referenced in the State law and regulations, the "Narrative" on page 3 goes on to
state that it incorporates by references all the "DEIS, FEIS, and other SEQRA documents" into the
Narrative. It then is trying to appear to be a final statement of no impact, sufficient to support the
Village's Neg. Dec, although it mal&lt;es no attempt to explain how the record about the Findings of 2007
needs to be reconsidered in light of the State Supreme Court decision in 2010. Without providing
evidence or analysis, it baldly states, "there are no changes in circumstances presenting such potential
impacts, or newly discovered information regarding such potential impacts." Unfortunately, as discussed
above, this statement is not correct. The changes made by GM to the "Riverfront Development Concept
Plan" are not minor, carry significant potential adverse environmental impacts, and need to be
examined.
I spent eight years with the Planning Board evaluating the details of the proposed Roseland/GM
development. The details are complex, but not so complicated as to cloud the importance of the basic
issues outlined above. You have a duty to examine those issues openly and with the public. If it was
worth the time to conduct detailed studies before 2007, it is equally worth the time do so now. It is
common sense to do so, which is fundamentally why due process of law requires you to take more care
with this new plan for "Lighthouse Landing" and get it right. The GM site offers unique environmental
challenges to a real estate developer, but the site can be re-developed, and profitably. That is why GM
held onto the parcels in its bankruptcy re-organization. Building out the site take 7-10 years, on the basis
of the plans that Roseland and GM had proposed. You have ample time to get it right and do the
environmental studies needed. Please do so.
Unfortunately, I must teach a class Tuesday evening and cannot attend your public hearing on
the Special use Permit. I have taken the time here to explain my concerns and submit this letter for the
record of the hearing. In light of the matters that beg for further environmental assessment, I
respectfully request that you deem your issuance of a Neg. Dec. to have been done in error, and that
you reverse that decision. You should prepare a supplemental scoping document requesting analysis of
the topics that I have raised above, and of others that also exist, and you should mandate the
preparation of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. After receiving public comment on
that record, you would then be in a position to such revised SEQRA Findings as the record may require,
and only thereafter issue a Village Special Use Permit.
Sin^i«dy yours,

�Village of Sleepy Hollow Environmental Advisory Council
David Bedell, Chair
Comments on the General Motors Site Development
and Special Permit Application
February 15, 2011
The nature of the development of the General Motors site has changed significantly since the
Findings were passed by the Board of Trustees in 2007. A 2010 court case and several years
of negotiations between the Village and General Motors has shifted a potentially significant
environmental liability to the Village and transferred the responsibility of developing the East
Parcel to the Village, among other changes large and small. The Environmental Advisory
Council feels it can best contribute to the Special Permit process by asking environmental
questions whose answers are not yet in the public record in legally binding documents. These
answers will illuminate various highly significant aspects of the development. The EAC
requests that the Village's consultants, attorneys, representatives of General Motors, and other
appropriate experts answer these questions during the Special Permit public hearing, replying
to the public, all interested and involved agencies and individuals, and especially the Mayor and
Board of Trustees.
Topic 1
VWsat is the precise nature of the Village's liability for residual contamination under parks, roads,
the East Parcel, and any other lands donated to the Village by General Motors? The Board
of Trustees' January declaration specifically states that General Motors will not indemnify the
Village. Did the Village by law need to assume any burden of liability, or was this the result of
negotiation with General Motors?
Topic 2
How will the Village develop the East Parcel? What are the designs, costs, schedules,
construction management structure, and changes, if any, to the mitigation regime, for all
mitigations and amenities no longer to be designed and/or built by General Motors in the
Board's January declaration?

Topic 3
VWiat are the specific methods to be used by GM, its designated developer, and the Village to
contain any potentially toxic dust or other pollutants from escaping the site during construction?
How will any impacts on people and property outside of the Village be detected and measured?
Topic 4
Has the DEC ever disclosed the full study of the pollution in the Hudson that originated from the
General Motors site? What will the underwater cleanup entail?
Topic 5
Does the court decision or January negative declaration change any environmental construction

�stipulations in the 2007 Findings? For example, that the site be developed to the LEED for
Neighborhood Development standard, or that roofs of certain buildings be constructed to reduce
the urban heat island effect?
Topic 6
What are the impacts on pedestrian circulation of the replacement of the signaled intersection at
Beekman Avenue and Beekman Place with a traffic circle?
Topic 7
What view and noise mitigations on land to be donated to Village have been added to the plan
since the passage of the Findings, adjacent to Ichabod's Landing or any other neighborhood?
\A^en were these mitigations introduced and what is their basis in the Findings or court case?
Topic 8
Is there any provision for a dedicated bus or jitney stop on the property, including weather
shelters for waiting passengers?
Topic 9
Does the proposed design take into account scientific predictions for sea level rise caused by
climate change? The borders of the site, where any mitigating features would be built, will be
owned by the Village. Should mitigation be performed by the property's owner as a condition of
its development?
Topic 10
How will General Motors apply any and all of its corporate sustainability initiatives to the
development of the site? According to published descriptions, General Motors is a worldwide
leader in deployment of solar electricity generation, waste reduction techniques, water
conservation techniques, landfill gas electricity generation, has at least one manufacturing
facility that is LEED Gold accredited, and has developed the electric/gasoline Chevy Volt, a
super-low-emissions car capabte of running extensively on electric power alone. All of these
are particulaily suited to the Sleepy Hollow devetopment. Given these extensive environmental
credentials, what part will sustainability play in the selection of a developer for the site? Will
General Motors wish to exceed any of the sustainability standards stipulated in its agreements
with the Village in order to better achieve its corporate goals?
Topic 11
Given that the fire station and other Village infrastructure items will be in use for 100 years or
more, what aspects of sustainability will be incorporated into their design? Will the Village seek
appropriate sustainability certification? Are the funds dedicated to these infrastructure items
sufficient to build sustainably?
Topic 12
Wll the hotel and conference space be developed to industry sustainability standards, such as
those developed by the Conference Industry Council? As a large consumer of resources, the

�infrastructure demands of the hotel will signiflcantly affect, among other things, the Village's
plans for improvements to the water system.
Topic 13
As currently planned, this new community will very likely not generate any of its own energy,
will not collect on-site any of the water it uses, will not grow on-site any food, and will not
process any wastes on-site. In other words, it may rely entirely on 20th-century power, water,
agriculture, and waste infrastructure that is fragile, expensive, and environmentally unsound.
Before any final commitment is made, would it not be beneficial to all parties to pledge to build
the most sustainable community possible with practicable current standards? VWiy are today's
most forward-looking standards, such as the net-zero building concept of U.S. Department of
Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, not being applied in Sleepy Hollow?

                    <text>The Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow held a meeting on Tuesday, February
22, 2011 in Village Hall, 28 Beekman Avenue, Sleepy Hollow, New York.
Present:

Mayor Kenneth G. Wray
Deputy Mayor Thomas Capossela
David Schroedel
Barbara Carr
Karin Wompa
Evelyn Stupel, Trustees

Absent:

Bruce Campbell, Trustee

Also Present: Anthony P. Giaccio, Village Administrator
Paula A. McCarthy, Village Clerk
Janet Gandolfo, Village Counsel
Richard Gross, Village General Foreman
Sean E. McCarthy, Village Building Inspector
Gregory Camp, Police Chief
At 7:03 p.m. the Mayor called the meeting to order with a pledge to the flag.
Village Clerk read the announcement for the continuation of the Public Hearing regarding
General Motors.

Mavor's Announcements:
Mayor opened the meeting and evoked the 5 minute rule:
Mayor informed the public that the public hearing on this matter would not be closing this
evening, that all comments would continue to be reviewed and there would be a discussion
at next week's Work Session.

Trustee Schroedel stated that, contrary to the assertion that the $11.5 million figure we've
been discussing is a bill TO the Village, it is money the Village will receive FROM the
developer that the village may spend as it sees fit to meet the increased demands on the
Village created by the development.
Trustee Schroedel explained that in 2007, the finding statements identified $8.267 million in
contributions from the developer to the Village. However, most of the construction was only
partial and it would place up to $7 million in additional construction obligations on the
Village. Now all the partially built amenities have been removed and many of the other costs
and obligations have been transferred the developer, the Village will be able to use the $11.5
million as needed. It is also the developer's obligation to finish the interior and shoreline
parks. He noted that, contrary to another public assertion, the Village is not responsible for
the development of the interior roads and utilities, which are to be paid by the developer as
well.

�Public Comments:
Alan Singer of 145 River Street addressed the Mayor and the Board and stated that he is
concerned about the Village building a proposed bridge to connect Continental Avenue and
the GM project and building fire and ambulance facilities. Mr. Singer stated that in his
experiences municipalities are uniquely unqualified to build anything. He also stated when
municipalities get involved with these projects; it never comes in at the number discussed, he
also asked if the road had been inspected, and suggested that the developer should be
responsible for the infrastructure. He continued to state, that GM should start to pay taxes
to the Village in case they can't sell the property.
Jack Gasko of Webber Avenue, addressed the Mayor and the Board and stated that he is
concerned about GM not holding responsibility for the contamination of 27 plus acres, and if
the Village accepts the land it will jeopardize the Village residents and tax payers, because of
its land's liabilities.
Richard Plano, of 215 Harwood Avenue and President of the Phillipsburg Manor
Association, addressed the Mayor and the Board of Trustees, reading an extensive letter, in
which he states the PILOT agreement with GM was a mistake, and the land value is "zilch".
He suggested that all records should be posted on the website, and that the Village cannot
afford another Duracell debacle. See attached letter.
Chuck Lanckester, a resident and President of Sleepy Hollow Manor Association ,
addressed the Mayor and the Board and expressed concerned about parking and traffic,
suggesting that the only solution he can think of would be a major off-site parking facility,
with a shuttle system to facilitate traffic.
Mayor reminded everyone with additional comments to submit it in writing to the Village
Clerk, and that all were invited to attend next week's work session to listen to the Board
discuss the public's questions.
Jack Gasko, of Webber Avenue addressed the Mayor and the Board, again, and stated that
the bridge over the tracks is restricted to 12tons. A major upgrade would have to be done to
that bridge prior to any construction.
No further comments were made at this time.

PROJECT TIMING AND COSTS
Any invoices to be paid must be for services that fall between the start date and completion date of the project.
When identifying the proposed start date, make sure it is before work has begun and any costs have been incurred.
When identifying the expected completion date, leave yourself enough time to ensure that the project will be
completed, final report prepared, and all bills paid within that time period. Give yourself extra time to be sure that
all bills will fall within the project schedule to avoid the need for a contract amendment before reimbursement of
costs can occur.

�Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MAA/BE) /Equal Employment
Opportunity (EEO)
Pursuant to Article 15-A of the Executive Law, and any applicable regulations promulgated
there under, applicants for state assistance programs must implement a comprehensive
Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises-Equal Employment Opportunity
(M/WBE-EEO) program when the requested assistance amount equals or exceeds $25,000 for
equipment, services and supplies; or if the requested assistance amount equals or exceeds
$100,000 for the acquisition, construction, major repair or renovation of real property.
Additionally, applicants will ensure to the fullest extent possible that the Affirmative Action and
EEO requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and any applicable federal rules
and regulations are applied to federal funds for prime contracts or subcontracts for construction,
equipment, supplies and services. The MAA/BE-EEO goals are required to be placed on the
entire project cost, not only on the State/Federal assistance being provided. All contracts that
are funded with Federal monies are required to have MAA/BE-EEO goals regardless of the
expected value.
A list of Certified MAA/BE enterprises can be obtained via the internet from the NYS Department
of Economic Development at http://205.232.252.35/.

Public Hearing for Amended General Motors Application
The Village Clerk read the announcement for the public hearing aloud for the record.
Mayor Wray acknowledged that the Trustees had received letters from Dave Bedell, Ann
Berozowski and Karin Lane. He said that Karin Lane stated that she thought that the
development of the GM site was a bad idea.
Mayor Wray explained the 5 minute rule and opened the public hearing.

�Michael Campton of Webber Park spoke about the potential future sea level rise that was
noted in The Tarrytown Patch. He asked about the proposed membrane and fill that was
proposed to be used on the site. He stated that he calculated the amount of fill to be used
and he stated that it would be about 2-feet on top of the membrane. He asked about the tax
increase to the Village. He stated that the Village is taking on liabilities of $22 million to
provide the proposed amenities. He stated that this is a long process and he thinks that the
village should say what it means. He wants to know if there is a summary posted on the
website.
Trustee Schroedel responded that The Tarrytown Patch is not the official record of the
Village. He stated that the prior Trustees hired specialists in this area. He stated that the
amount of fill will put the site at over 6 feet above sea level. He stated that this board
inherited a long history of legal decisions, including of a 2002 lawsuit, and then the village
gave up the right to impose additional environmental obligation on the developer. He stated
that the prior board asked the Villages planning consultant about the total amenity. This
board sought to increase the value of that package and how those monies would be used. He
stated that the FEIS has a detailed analysis showing that there is a $750K surplus after the
village provides the required additional police, fire, etc. He stated that the Board will
eventually issue an Executive Summary. He stated that the Executive Summary is the Special
Permit and that it will serve as the simplified document that will specify the environmental
requirements, etc. He stated that the board has not yet seen the document yet.
Michael Campton asked if the special permit would be available to the public before the
vote. Trustee Schroedel said yes.
Mayor Wray said that the documents are available at the Warner library.
Phil Musigas of River keeper thanked Trustee Schroedel for responding to comments. He
asked about availability of the documents. He asked if the village has an electronic version
that can be posted on the website and also stated that the special use permit process should
allow the public a chance to review. He thinks public is dealing with a limited amount of
information. He asked about the relationship between the NYSDEC and the village regarding
the Special Permit as well as the relationship with GM, the developer and special permit.
He stated that the public should understand the special permit and that the remediation
process should be explained to the public.
Mayor Wray stated that the Hudson River testing was completed by the NYSDEC. He stated
that the DEC told the Mayor that Riverkeeper had those documents.
Phil Musigas asked when GM does sampling studies, do they share documents with the Village.
Trustee Schroedel responded that the board was pleased to know that NYSDEC has broken
up the site into the east and west parcels. He also stated that the DEC has made clean up of
the river, part of the sign off on the west parcel. He also stated that the 2002 restriction

�settlement, the special use permit will not allow a shovel in the ground before the NYSDEC
signs off on the remediation.
Don Cateano of Lawrence Avenue asked who would be the lead agency for the special
permit.
Mayor Wray responded that the Board of Trustees is the lead agency for the special permit.
He stated that this dates back to 2003. When a developer comes thru it goes in front of the
other boards for their specific areas of the process.
Frank Stanisak stated that you can walk underneath the slab. He stated that the I beams
sticking up from the site should be re-used. He also stated that he worked for some of the
businesses that used to be in the area. He spoke about how the traffic flowed. He stated
that Tarrytown will absorb a lot of traffic and they better get used to it.
Dan Scott of 101 River Street stated that he disagreed about the Special Permit acting as an
Executive Summary. He said the purpose of this meeting is to discuss the process openly
with the public. He stated that the Village has an obligation to provide written material to the
public. He briefly spoke about the 2002 settlement. He stated that this is ultimately a
business transaction.
He made the following statements and asked the following questions:
1. Make the physical layout of the site available to the public. The public should know
what it would look like.
2. What are the Villages construction responsibilities? What are the costs?
3. Explain exactly what GM's legal responsibilities in the process.
4. Is GM going on tax rolls? What is the current proposal?
He stated that the public should not wait until the special permit is drafted.
Deputy Mayor Capossela responded that the information was available to the public back
in 2004 and 2005, and then again in 2006 and 2007. He stated that there were about 50
public hearings about this process.
Mayor Wray said last week's work session was very helpful and he recommended that the
public look at the meeting.
David Pysh stated that he was involved in 18 public hearings from 2006 and 2008. He
stated that he wants to know if the current developer has to use the previous plan that was
reviewed by the public. He stated that he appreciates the comments from Riverkeeper. He
stated that it comes down to the design professional on board. He stated that 1% of the
project is spent on thinking and planning.
Trustee Wompa asked for David Smith to talk about the designs guidelines. She also stated
that the board inherited a project where thousands of dollars were spent on many
consultants. She also stated that there was a 2 year lag when GM was in bankruptcy.

�She stated that the Board was given an FEIS. She stated that the Village retained a law firm
to sit at the table with experts. She stated that she agrees that the FEIS should be online.
She stated that people keep asking for things that have already been done and to go back
and re-do the process over again but it cannot legally be done.
David Schroedel said some of this projects design guidelines were modified slightly in
response to court decisions and economical factors.
David Pysh said that the design guidelines do not dictate the designs. He said that the
developers will hire design professionals that will ensure quality. He stated that the
developers will not guarantee a quality product.
Trustee Campbell responded that he agrees. He stated that this project will bring relief and
help revitalize the village. He stated that we will watch the process every step of the way and
move forward.
David Bedell stated that he is the Chair of the Villages Environmental Council. He stated
that the Council submitted a few questions. He stated that the Negative Declaration says the
Village will use the $11.5 mil for certain amenities at the GM site. He stated that he spoke to
a friend in construction management who told him that added contingencies will drive up
costs. He asked if GM will turn over construction drawings on the entire site. He also stated
that the Village will be responsible for the soil cap and methane mediation. He asked since
GM is not going to indemnify the Village, to what extent is the Village on the hook.
He also stated that the membrane will be installed on the entire site not just under the roads.
This was agreed to by the previous developer. He stated that the Village should keep the
special permit hearing opened so that the public can have time to review all of the
documents.
Trustee Schroedel stated that Judge Hubert's decision had interesting comments to make
about GM's environmental responsibility down the road.
Jack Gasko of Webber Avenue stated that the Village is dealing with GM not the developer.
He stated that things need to be examined if GM goes bankrupt again.
Chuck Lanckaster stated that this has been a constructive discussion. He stated that the
next 20 years of this Village depends on this project. He stated that if the Board could know
future impacts for traffic, water, etc it would make the process easier. He stated that the
Board has set funds aside for a master plan for the whole community. He stated that this has
to be done.
Adrienne Berozowski of Phillips Manor stated that just because the study is out there, it
doesn't mean you can use it. He stated that part of the SEQRA process is to put the FEIS
documents on the web. He stated that this is the best way for the public to know what's

�going on. He stated that this is NYS law. He stated that the public cannot be expected to
understand the process if they don't have access to all of the documents.
Trustee Schroedel said all of the information will be on the website.
John Lofaro from 29 Pine Close stated that he has been hearing the same questions and
same issues. He stated that we need to get started moving forward.
Eliot Martone of 18 Farrington Ave stated that the PMIA had a few questions for the Board.
He asked if a cost analysis has been done to support the new facilities structures,
infrastructure and new services that will be required. He also asked when this payment would
come to the Village and in what form would this payment come to the village.
Mayor Wray responded that the Trustees have mentioned that the developer will be
providing a few building shells. He stated that the Trustees have decided to use all of the
monies that were proposed to be set aside in this project and permit future Village Trustees
to have the authority to decide what to spend it on.
Trustee Schroedel stated that General Motors lawsuit challenged everything, line by line.
He stated that because it all came out of the SEQRA process, the Trustees can only negotiate
the forms of the payments. He stated that the Trustees can only negotiate that the monies go
to the Village General Fund.
Trustee Wompa said that while negotiating, the Trustees asked Dave Smith to do research
to support the Trustees ability to negotiate with GM.
Mayor Wray explained that there was no flexibility in the items. He stated that the Trustees
looked at the amounts of money and how to place it and where to place it so that Village did
not have limitations on how the monies were spent.
Trustee Wompa said that the Trustees examined every item line by line.
Trustee Schroedel stated that all of the proposed incentives are on the developer. He
stated that NYS came out with a grant for solar panels. He stated that the Village can now go
after those funds.
Trustee Carr said that shortly after being elected, she asked about the project. She stated
that it's too big and asked if the agreements could be changed. She learned that the
agreements couldn't be changed. She stated that it was a huge frustration but the Trustees
have made the best of this situation
Marc Frye of Hudson Terrace stated that he has followed this on TV and on the Village
website. He stated that it took him a couple of days to review all the documents. He stated
that he found missing documents on the Roseland website. He stated that if the Trustees can

�adapt this technology so that the documents can be posted on the web, he would volunteer
to donate the 2002 documents and put on the website. He stated that he remembers people
in this room talking about what would be done and there are still questions to be answered.
He read a section from the documents stating that the NYSDEC has agreed to set higher
standards for the work performed at the site. He stated that GM convinced the NYSDEC that
the cleanup is an $18M job. He stated that under the Brownfield clean up agreement; GM is
locked in to get a tax credit of 22% of what is built on the site. He stated that based on a
$650M project, GM will get a $130M tax credit. He stated that the Village should let GM know
that the Village is aware of this tax credit and its associated clean-up costs. The stated that
the fiscal analysis was well done. He stated that the design guidelines are important.
Dan Scott spoke again. He talked about negotiations. He stated that there is availability to
negotiate. He stated that GM values this property and want to see it developed. He wanted
to stress that there are legal requirements we can negotiate. He also stated that GM can't
move forward unless they have the Village's approval.
Trustee Campbell said anything can be negotiated. He stated that it's reached a point, and
came back with a deal. He stated that you have to decide at what point to continue to
negotiate of start the project.
Adrienne Berozowski spoke again. He stated that given the fact that problems that the
Village is facing now were based on decisions made in the past, the Trustees must consider
the language in the permit and 15 years down the road.
Marc Frye spoke again. He stated that the Village needs a Supplemental EIS to provide the
updated fiscal analysis. He stated that the market has changed and the Village needs to
better know what the tax revenue will be. He also stated that when he looked at the list for
the proposed agreement, contributions, etc $11M seems like a lot, but it's not enough. He
stated that a $700M development will require a larger amount than $11M.
Don Cateano spoke again. He stated that if you're still negotiating, the Trustees should
have GM come in with a new library. He stated that the Warner library is very crowded.
Trustee Campbell responded that the value of the proposed amenities has been negotiated
upwards from a $9M initial offer. He also stated that he is annoyed that Tarrytown is suing
the Village after they built Hudson Harbor.

restaurants. A new restaurant was added this year (Moon River). With help from the
Building Department, the burned out buildings on 66 and 68 Beekman Avenue were
torn down.

worked on by Trustee Stupel, Building Dept and the Court.
The Village is currently working on two union contracts, the PBA and the MEU.
The Water Reservoir project is continuing to be worked on and another large issue that
the Village is currently working on is the agreement with General Motors.
The Mayor is optimist that a special permit will be approved shortly.
