Dave Smith stated that the applicable sections from the preliminary FEIS have been forwarded. He stated that the preliminary FEIS is still not a public document since it is still under review by the Village Trustees. He stated that the Village Trustees are seeking input from the Village Boards on the preliminary FEIS. The Chair stated that since the document is not available to the public, he recommended that the discussion take place in closed session. Ralph Gunderman asked whether the Village Trustees are responsible for the response to public comments since they are the lead agency. He asked if the applicant has changed the plans enough regarding water-dependent uses to satisfy the Committee’s comments to the DEIS. Dave Smith responded that the plan has been modified to add water-dependent uses. He stated that there exists the potential for additional off-site improvements as part of a comprehensive package. Ralph Gunderman asked about the next steps in the EIS process. Dave Smith stated that the Village Trustees have gone beyond how the lead agency would normally review the document. He stated that the Village Trustees have formed subcommittees to address extra steps to address all concerns. He stated that the Village Trustees have the ultimate control in the content of the FEIS. Ralph Gunderman asked that once the FEIS is deemed complete, would the Committee be then asked to make a consistency determination. APPROVED - Waterfront Advisory Committee Meeting, December 7, 2005 4 �Dave Smith responded yes.

The Committee agreed that there was not a need to discuss the matter in a private session. Ralph Gunderman stated that the revised plan has many water-dependent improvements. He stated that the building heights have also been revised to lessen the mass impact on the Hudson River. He commented on the plans presented by the Village consultants. Dave Smith responded that the Committee should focus their comments at this time on the FEIS only. Ralph Gunderman stated that he still has a problem on the scale of the project and the impacts to the Village’s infrastructure. He stated that a very detailed traffic analysis was provided in the DEIS but was not included in the Committee’s FEIS package. He stated that the number of units and the density have been reduced by the applicant. He stated that the applicant has failed to address the project without the proposed train station. He stated that the concept of a train station needs to have alternatives to get residents to the other two train stations (Tarrytown & Phillipse Manor) in case the train station proposal is eliminated. He stated that the applicant should provide an example of another development of this size that has only one-way in and one-way out of the site. Dave Smith responded that the potential jitney service question was asked in the DEIS. He stated that he would investigate if the information was provided in the submitted FEIS information. The Chair stated that the proposal seems to have a few water-dependent uses. He stated that the development is primarily a residential and commercial development. He commented on the townhouses on the water-side. He stated that with the exception of the hotel, all of the wateredge area is proposed to be used for residential housing. Doug Maass stated that the bath house located off of the GM site could be used as a waterdependent use. He also stated that the proposed boathouse does not have to be located on the water. He stated that the boathouse could be moved inward as long as the boats could be carried or easily transported. Dave Smith stated that to date, the applicant has only considered uses on their site. Ralph Gunderman asked about the indicated green space part of the GM site. Dave Smith responded that the green space described belongs to the applicant. Ralph Gunderman stated that a boat house could be built on that site. Dave Smith responded that the plans refer to an interpretative center which could include a boat house. APPROVED - Waterfront Advisory Committee Meeting, December 7, 2005 5 �Doug Maass asked about maps submitted by Historic Hudson Valley. Dave Smith referred to Figures 2-12 and 2-13 in the FEIS. He responded that the maps show a plan prepared by Historic Hudson Valley for a possible expansion of Historic Hudson Valley activities. He stated that the applicant has indicated that except for the proposed parking area, the balance of the east parcel will be dedicated to the Village. Ralph Gunderman stated that the affordable and senior housing were reduced. Dave Smith responded that the original proposal included 200 senior housing units. He stated that since then, the Village has investigated building affordable senior housing thru another entity and the amount of affordable senior housing on the GM site was lessened. He stated that the applicant has eliminated the affordable housing component and proposed providing a discount on a limited number of units for work-force housing residents. The Chair stated that a $500,000 price tag is hardly affordable. The Chair stated that the Village should make a commitment to maintain the floating pier. Dave Smith responded that the proposal includes two seasonal piers that can be removed from the water. Doug Maass asked about the increased building height on the East side of the development. Dave Smith responded that a variance is needed for the increased height. He stated that the Village’s consultants have included some varying height to increase the water views in the inner units. Doug Maass stated that there is a statement about the Village not using property donated to it, that the developer could take the property back. Dave Smith responded that the topic is a legal issue. There were no further comments. It was agreed that the minutes would serve as the Committee’s comments to the Village Trustees. Ralph Gunderman made a motion to adjourn. Karin Adir seconded. It was unanimous (4-0). Adjourned at 9:47 pm.

Doug Maass stated that the building dwarfs anything around it. He stated that it is a large building in an open area. Ed Napoleon responded that the building is 107-feet long. He stated that the existing chapel is about 75-feet long. The Chair referred to Policy 25(b). He stated that he is having a hard time seeing how this application enhances the viewshed identified in this policy. Ralph Gunderman asked about the selection of this location. He stated that the location is close to Route 9 and significantly alters the nature of the cemetery scenic subunit. Ed Napoleon responded that the location was selected by the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery Board. Don Stever asked if the location could be moved. Dan Penella responded that the site utilities would be unavailable. He stated that water and sewer are required for the bathroom. He stated that the site is ideal based on its proposed use. He stated that the location is rather rocky and its use is limited but will be very useful for this project. Ed Napoleon stated that the North Broadway side would be screened with evergreens. Ralph Gunderman stated that the screening would impact the viewshed in the same way that the proposed building will impact the area. Don Stever responded that the evergreens would take away the park-like character of the cemetery. Don Stever asked how many 6” caliber trees would be removed. Dan Penella responded that a total of ten (10) trees are proposed to be removed. Don Stever stated that the policy refers to saving mature trees that are 6” caliber or greater.

Don Stever responded that the building would look larger if it were angled. He stated that the building is massive. Ed Napoleon stated that many cemeteries are moving to a community mausoleum. Don Stever recalled a previous cemetery site issue when the cemetery filled-in a wetland and ravine on-site to accommodate additional plots. He stated that the cemetery might be back in a few years with another building. He stated that this might be setting a precedent. The Chair stated that the Committee could make a decision this evening or could ask the applicant to re-evaluate the selected site and see if there is another available location. Ed Napoleon responded that he would like the Committee to make their decision this evening. He stated that the Cemetery Board could choose to re-design the structure or select an alternative site. The Committee found the application to be inconsistent with Policy 25-b of the LWRP. It was unanimous (5-0). 3) Other The Chair referred to the timing of receiving materials.

Steve Bialick responded that the library had a lot of burnable materials in it. Andy Kupak asked if the Board would visit the construction site. John Korzelius responded that he can visit the site. Sean McCarthy asked if the price for the sprinkler line included bringing the 4” main onto the site. Ed Napoleon responded yes. Sean McCarthy asked if a dry-type chemical system was investigated.
