Hi Pam,
This is Ryan Demler at 19 Pokahoe Drive. I wanted to reach out regarding the latest plans that
Ron Pohl shared with us for 17 Pokahoe.
My wife and I reviewed the materials and were pleased with what we saw. From our
perspective, the design looks like a good fit for the neighborhood. Assuming everything
complies with code, we believe this version would be a positive addition to our community.
Please note that, as direct neighbors, we support the proposed plans and appreciate being kept
informed throughout the process.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,

Joanie and I would like to transmit our support and lack of objection to Mr. Pohl’s proposed
construction plans for his house at 17 Pokahoe Drive.
We think he was responsive to the constructive comments registered by the board and the neighbors
regarding his prior plan submitted a year or so ago.
The current design should be a welcome addition to the neighborhood!
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like any further commentary.

Subject: Planning Meeting

Hi Sean,
I plan on attending this evening but do have to coach my basketball team
at 8pm. Just in case I'm Not able to discuss our concerns I am
outlining here.
Concerns &amp; Requests:
Conditions on approvals to mitigate potential negative effects on our
property. *We have not seen the effect of the trees being knocked down
and how that will impact light on our property. We are also concerned
with other trees that may not be knocked down and what will be done to
ensure safety to our property should the impact of the removal change the
stability of what is surrounding.  
Pre construction surveys and restoration previsions along with a
commitment to restore any damage post construction.
Mitigation Plans to address specific on site and off site impacts, such as
water runoff, erosion, sedimentation and potential flooding.
*Through the biggest storms we have never had water enter through our
garage or basement. We want to be sure that is addressed in the testing
phase. We have many items that would have to be moved should that
change without notice.
Environmental Impact to address noise, pollution, traffic and effect on the
local ecosystem and natural features.
*Since they dug two weeks ago, we have seen an increase in
dangerous wildlife. What are the measures being taken to prevent
dangerous impacts stemming from uncovering burrowed nests of vermin?
We are wondering why any digging or testing was conducted without first
addressing that?

�*Very Important. Our garage is directly across from the construction
zone. During the few days of testing we had cars parked and blocking our
normal routines of pulling in and out of our driveway, and our son's ability
to practice basketball. We also have a dog that spends time in our
yard and are concerned about the emissions and what potentially that can
mean. We also walk her and are concerned about debris from future work
left behind. We have not seen signage that the site is OSHA compliant
and with our son and other kids playing on the street by our house we
need to know that all compliance is in order. My wife works for corporate
America from home 3-4 days a week on meetings and needs to maintain
connectivity so will need to be sure that provisions are in place for power
and internet if disrupted. She also will need to be able to maintain
reasonable professional standards during calls with coworkers, managers
and others. There are days that she presents from home so a schedule of
work should be worked out with that in mind.
Ultimately we are concerned with activity that may interfere with the
enjoyment and use of our property. This includes but is not limited to;
Noise pollution, odors, other environmental pollutants and physical
hazards or obstructions. We would like to request that the new property
owner insure and indemnify us for damages and claims arising from their
work. As well we would like to be put on their insurance as additionally
insured to cover anything should it arise. Also should the construction
require access on our property we would like to be made aware of that
prior to construction so a comprehensive plan and agreement for any
impacts it will have on our time and our property.
I think that is it for this round.  
Be Well,
Ross &amp; Kristy

Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591
Dear Mr. Krakauer,
We live directly next to 467 ½ Munroe Avenue, which has submitted plans for development of a
home. We have two concerns about the plan: trees and drainage.
1.

There is a honey locust tree, in poor condition, almost on the common property line
approximately 36 feet back from Munroe Avenue. History of splitting and dropping
branches. The trunk is split now, and half of tree appears dead. Tree dropped a branch
on a car of ours, nearly totaled it.
Please take it down.
This serves as notice that failure to tend to this tree is negligence, and whatever damage
it causes to our property is the property owner's liability.

2. We want advance notice of any tree and grading work to be done, so that we can secure
any of our property possibly affected. Our driveway, cars and home are very close to the
areas which will be under removal, pruning, grading and construction.
3.

We have never had flooding in our yard or home. But the lot to be developed is higher
than ours by several feet, and currently heavily wooded. With trees removed and
grading, and a roof deflecting water rather than absorbing, there needs to be an
effective drainage plan.
Gutter and drainage system away from our property?

Subject: Edge on Hudson waterfront park
Dear Planning Board Members, Mayor, and Trustees:
The Planning Board has a hearing before them regarding Edge-on-Hudson's designs for the northern part of the
waterfront park.
The paths around "The Cove" (at the north end, connecting to Kingsland Point Park) are 6 feet wide (Sheet SP-1.00,
PDF page 27). The other parts are 10 feet wide.
Riverwalk is a major route for walking and cycling, with high volumes of people. Guidelines say paths with these
conditions should be at least
12 feet wide. Ideally, there would be separate paths for walking and cycling.
Sincerely,

One Kingsland Riverwalk Phase 3 concerns
Sunday, November 16, 2025 8:35:54 AM

Dear Mr. McCarthy and the planning committee:
We are local residents and we have purchased a home on 355 Hollows Pass, Sleepy Hollow as
part of One Kingsland.
We understand there are plans to put in a splash park, an ice skating rink, a fire pit, along with
a bathroom along the Riverwalk.
We are strongly opposed to this plan as we prefer to have that portion of the park resemble the
beautiful design of the lower portion of the park, which is walkways and benches and
beautiful landscaping.
We are very concerned about creating any reason for people to congregate for hours, day and
night--instead of having transient walkers like ourselves who keep moving through the park.
Additionally maintaining such structures that require ongoing maintenance, cleaning, and
security, is an unnecessary expense with low reward and high risk. We understand in Feb
2023, at a town hearing, the expert discouraged building an ice rink or any structure that would
cause people to congregate at the base of a residential property for the aforementioned reasons.
Our family and our neighbors much prefer to have a quieter and safer Riverwalk for all parties
to enjoy year round, encouraging people to walk through the park, rest on a bench, and take in
the beautiful sights and sounds of the Hudson.
Thank you for your strong consideration of our request.
Sincerely,
Alec L. Miller and Samantha L. Miller

County Planning Board Referral File SLH 25-003 – Waterfront Open Space Phase Two
Edge-on-Hudson – Hollows Pass
Site Plan Approval
Dear Mr. McCarthy:
The Westchester County Planning Board has received a site plan (revised October 2, 2025) and related
materials for a proposed application regarding Phase Two of the waterfront open space within the ongoing
Edge-on-Hudson development. This phase would construct a portion of a new waterfront park between
the banks of the Hudson River and Hollows Pass, south of Kingsland Point Park (SBL 115.10-1-1.5).
The site currently hosts the Sleepy Hollow Lighthouse and connecting bridge, which would remain, as
well as a portion of the Westchester Riverwalk, which would be replaced through the site.
The proposed park would consist of various programmed and open greenspace areas, including a kayak
launch and boathouse, splash pad/ice skating rink, landscaped meadow areas, open lawn spaces, and
terraces. Seating areas and public art installations would be dispersed throughout the park. Sidewalks and
pathways would spread throughout the site, and connect to the Phase One space to the south, Kingsland
Park to the north, and a lawn area to the east that extends through the interior of the Edge-on-Hudson
development. Connection to the lighthouse would be maintained, and landscaping would be used to
highlight the historic structure. A new community space and concession building would also be included.
The County Planning Board was active in its review of the Edge-on-Hudson proposal between 2003
and 2011 under the provisions of Section 239 L, M and N of the General Municipal Law and Section
277.61 of the County Administrative Code, and we have reviewed periodic updates as development
progresses. This Phase Two application for the waterfront park is consistent with our understanding of
the larger development concept for the former General Motors site, and we offer the following
comments:
1. Westchester Riverwalk.
We commend the Village and the applicant for providing more public access to the waterfront via this
linear open space area, which will connect to adjacent waterfront open spaces. We also appreciate that
this park would continue to include routing of the Westchester Riverwalk. We recommend that the
applicant and Village consult the Westchester Riverwalk Design Guidelines Manual in order to maintain
aesthetic consistency in the design of signage and other applicable trail amenities.

Page 2

2. Sea level rise and flood hazard areas.
We note that the location of the proposed park will act as a buffer between the Edge-on-Hudson
buildings and the Hudson River. The proposed design should take into consideration anticipated sea
level rise in accordance with the NYS Community Risk and Resiliency Act and the revised flood
elevations as shown on the FEMA Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps, which indicate that the area
is located within a Special Flood Hazard Area.
3. Bicycle access.
We appreciate the inclusion of bicycle racks within the site plans, and recommend the Village consider
using signage to define the route for bicycles through this open space area, or for areas where cyclists
should dismount. We note the site’s close proximity to the Old Croton Aqueduct Trailway and the
Mario M. Cuomo Bridge shared use path may make it an attractive destination for cyclists.
4. Green building technology.
We encourage the applicant to include as much green, or sustainable building technology as possible
within the proposed development, including the use of permeable pavement where possible. In addition,
the Village and the applicant should give consideration towards the provision of electric vehicle parking
capabilities within the proposed parking areas.
5. Universal Design.
We encourage the Village to consider the principles of universal design in this development, in addition
to any building standards required by ADA regulations. Universal Design standards allow all residents
and visitors to fully engage in our public spaces. Universal Design is also an important means of providing
accessible pedestrian access and parking for persons with mobility issues.
Please inform us of the Village’s decision so that we can make it a part of the record.
Thank you for calling this matter to our attention.
Respectfully,

Subject: Public hearing Waterfront Open Space at the Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development.
Dear Planning Board Members,
I am writing regarding the design of the Cove. I am a community advocate for river use and public access to local,
affordable swimming. Currently sleepy hollow residents lack any local, affordable swim options.
This cove could look like the Sleepy Hollow Beach Club and be open to residents. I would like to suggest the
design for this area include the following additions with this in mind:
Maintain Beach access for the potential of future swimming site
Explore floating pool/ seasonal floating dock for swimming.
Provide picnic benches with shade trees along the water front.
Bathroom structure:
1. Bathroom structure should include Outdoor shower hook ups. Whether or not this is installed for use now- pls
include connections for future.
2. 2 stalls is not enough. Suggest min 3 and a family stall with changing table.
SUP storage is not included in this plan.
A kiosk or shack for water sports rentals should be included in this plan.
Sincerely,
Megan Isenstadt

Subject: Waterfront Open Space Public Comment; Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development

Dear Planning Board Members,
I am writing regarding the proposed design for the Cove. One major gap in our village is the
lack of nearby opportunities for swimming and waterfront recreation. There is a clear disparity
among residents who are only able to access swimming through costly options such as the
Crest, a condo unit in The Edge that includes a pool, or home ownership that grants access to
the Philipse Manor Beach Club. Currently, the majority of Sleepy Hollow residents lack
accessible and affordable swimming options within their own community.
With that in mind, I respectfully request that the design incorporate water access and
swimming facilities. We have an opportunity to look to the Philipse Manor Beach Club as
inspiration and create a similar experience—one that is open and available to all residents.
Picnic areas, shaded seating, swim access, and space for community events are sorely needed,
and the Cove presents an incredible opportunity to offer these amenities to everyone who lives
here.
Thank you for your time and consideration. These additions would help ensure that the Cove
becomes a vibrant, accessible, and community-centered space for all residents of Sleepy
Hollow.
Sincerely,
Rachael Ricker

Subject: Waterfront park design comments for the Planning board
It is very exciting to see the next section of the waterfront park being developed for our community.
I wanted to give feedback on the design and ask questions about items that were not clear, so we can
help refine the design together as a community. The designers need to explain the scale of each
space so we understand how they work. We also should push the design team to provide more
opportunities for residents to get into and engage with the Hudson.
I am sharing comments broken into a few categories:
Overall Park design
There are no dimensions or scales on the proposed designs, making it hard for the public to
comprehend the public spaces and pathways. I noticed that there were dimensions are on the
previous design from 2024
The view sheds are not all clearly defined, please provide a broader context site map that
explains site orientations
Amount of trees in the park could easily increase by at least 10%
The amount of hardscape could easily be reduced by at least 10%.
Is the proposed grading much different from the existing condition?
There should be wayfinding included at the waterfront park
There should be historical markers / signage dedicated explaining the local natural
environment, historical context or previous historical residents.  
There should be public art. It would be a great opportunity to represent the historic site. There
is no visible remnants from the 100 plus years of local automobile heritage
Names of the new spaces and buildings should reference historical residents &amp; icons
There should be an outdoor space dedicated to host placemaking and cultural events
Will the connections into Kingsland be open to walk through during all hours once complete?
Page 4 is the only drawing that shows the meadow design and is mainly focused on
circulation. Can you please define the design more clearly in this area of the park?

�The meadow is not clearly defined along with the connections into Kingsland park
Splash pad / seasonal skating is very small and an awkward shape for skating. There is also
very little shade provided at the splash pad.
A splash pad this close to the river would be better served in another location within the
village, especially considering there is beach access directly adjacent. It could be moved to
Barnhart park, where the splash pad is planned to be replaced, other locations could be
Kingsland or the east parcel.
Additionally, ice skating at this location will be extremely cold and windy in the winter with
no protection along the riverfront.
There should be a seasonal commercial skate rental shack located that could be used as a
tourist kiosk or cafe during the summer and fall high season.
Community space and bathroom buildings
The buildings have a very odd relationship with the street and riverfront and don't utilize the
river views.
Most of the plaza area does not overlook the water and the pathway connection
There should be a shaded picnic area with benches similar to the PMBC
A canopy structure on the north facade of the community space is not ideal solar orientation.
Shifting it to the south end of the Boathouse would make more sense.
The community space building doesn't have a vestibule or pre-function space and bathrooms
are in a separate building. Additionally there is no back of house space for MEP, Janitor closet
or storage
Bathrooms should include a family bathroom and changing room and each bathroom should
have 3 stalls
Bathrooms for the community space are in a separate building is not ideal  
bathroom pavilion is far from the splash pad / seasonal skating area
The boat storage should include SUP storage
It is not clear how the storage facility actually functions when loading kayaks into the building
There should be a commercial outfitter space for seasonal rentals so the village can offset
some of the park costs.
Why would there be office space and meeting rooms in the boathouse? This program doesn't
make sense
Why are there food truck electrical hookups at this location? Are trucks mounting the curb
and parking in the plaza? Seems like an odd location if there will be food and beverage at the
community space

�It will be challenging for the separate buildings to share combined MEP systems since they
are separate structures.
There should be a water fountains, rinse showers and a hose bib located at this site
Indoor/outdoor fireplace should be electric or add a wood burning
Fireplace located is odd and would be better as a stand alone fire pit in the plaza area
paved areas around bathroom pavilion and community building seems excessive and mostly
without views towards the river
Beach / water access
The project should consider a water restoration project to increase the natural ecosystem at the
river's edge
this is a great example https://aqua.org/explore/exhibits/harbor-wetland
The project should consider a river pool in the hudson. There is currently no swim access in
sleepy hollow. This is a huge local issue and this would be the lowest cost project to build and
maintain
https://www.riverpool.org/
https://thecharles.org/uncategorized/9-cities-making-polluted-waterways-intoswimming-hotspots/
https://thecharles.org/swim-park-project/
Why is there no dock planned in this whole area?
Is the river wall new or the existing condition?
the concrete ramp at the beach significantly reduces what is already a small beach
the new ramp should be flipped to be against the large concrete retaining wall at Kingsland

2) Francesco Alesci/FBS Contracting, 135 Beekman Avenue, Proposed six-unit apartment
building, Site Plan &amp; Architectural Review Approval- Preliminary Presentation
1. Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development,
Block M, Proposed mixed-use building, Site Plan &amp; Architectural Review Approval
Guy Mazzola is a managing member of Sun Homes representing Lighthouse Landing
Communities LLC. Mr. Mazzola stated that he and associates from ODA Architecture will be
presenting the preliminary designs for the Block M condominium building.
Dongyoung Kim is an Operations Manager for ODA Architecture. Mr. Kim provided the history
of the design firm and presented examples of the projects that they have completed.
Razvan Voroneanu is a Project Director of ODA Architecture. Mr. Voroneanu stated that
The Block M building is proposed as a six-story condominium building, approximately 250,000
square feet, with 88-96 residential units, amenities, retail, and parking. He presented preliminary
plans and stated that the building would be terraced and include an entrance from Lighthouse
Landing leading to the amenities, the center courtyard green space, and a proposed water feature
1

(11/13/25)

�that would be visible from the public spaces and the park. The plan proposes 8-foot setbacks on
three sides of the building and up to the property line along Westward Drive. Due to zoning
constraints for setbacks, height limitations, and flood elevations, the proposed building would
require a variance to be 68 feet high, where the maximum permitted height is 65 feet. Rooftop
shade structures and outdoor seating, both covered and uncovered, are being considered.
Mr. Mazzola described the proposed building height and elevations, based on the anticipated
FEMA flood elevation requirements, which necessitate a height variance request. Mr. Mazzola
stated that they are working on concepts for the façade design.
There was a discussion regarding the terms of the Special Permit approval as they relate to the
percentage of owner-occupied versus rental residential residences and commercial space.
Mr. Mazzola stated that 5,000 to 5,800 square feet is proposed as restaurant and retail space.
Chris Camia stated that the proposed 68-foot building height is a self-created zoning issue for 2
feet and that rooftop shade structures and mechanical equipment will add to the building's height
appearance across six stories.
Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant work to eliminate the increased height request
and to submit plans that illustrate the proposed shade structures or pergolas and the programming
of the retail spaces.
Benjamin Nielsen stated that the setback and height restrictions from the Hudson River are
important in maintaining the feel of public space. He suggested adding setbacks for the rooftop
terraces. Mr. Nielsen asked Sean McCarthy if shade structures and mechanicals are included in
the height constraints.
Sean McCarthy stated that shade structures are not permitted to exceed the maximum building
height. Stair and elevator towers, mechanicals and utilities are not considered as part of the
building height and may not exceed 10% of the roof area below. Pergolas must be below the
maximum building height.
Mr. Mazzola acknowledged that the additional 2-foot building height and the height of any shade
structures above 65 feet would require variance approval. They will look into stepping back the
terraces.
Jay Schulz stated that the building height and massing viewed from the street are a concern,
especially when mechanical equipment, stair and elevator bulkheads add to the permitted height.
Mr. Camia requested that the Lighthouse Landing street façade views be considered in the
designs and that height creep be avoided.
Mr. Voroneanu said they are working to reduce the elevator bulkheads and the placement of
mechanical equipment.
Mr. Nielsen asked how the private rooftop terraces would be accessed.
2

(11/13/25)

�Mr. Voronieanu stated that separate elevators would be used to access the private terraces. The
terraces would not be accessible from the individual units.
Mr. Nielsen suggested creating private courtyard spaces instead of private terraces.
Mr. Voroneanu stated that they plan for shared terrace space and smaller private terraces on the
wings of the building.
Mr. Schulz asked Mr. Voroniauni for the estimated square footage of the restaurant.
Mr. Mazzola stated that they are still determining whether the 5,800 square feet will include both
restaurant and retail space, based on the final residential unit count.
Mr. Voroneanu estimated the restaurant to be 4,000 square feet, with outdoor seating.
David Smith asked the applicant to describe the building's relationship to the waterfront park and
whether there will be access to the restaurant from the park side or accommodations for food
services.
Chairperson Krakauer suggested that the outdoor seating area should incorporate shading
options.
Mr. Schulz asked where restaurant parking would be provided.
Mr. Mazzola stated that the parking garage would be strictly for the condominium residents.
There are 29 or 39 street parking spaces designated for commercial use. All assigned parking for
the condos will be accommodated in the garage.
Ken Anderson stated that he is more concerned about the elevations of the six-story building
from the interior side of Lighthouse Landing versus the river.
Mr. Nielsen suggested having the retail space on the corner of the building.
James Natarelli stated that the Special Permit sanitary sewer approvals were based on specific
bedroom counts and the square footage of retail spaces.
Mr. Mazzola stated that the Special Permit approved 96 homes and 6,700 or 7,600 square feet of
retail space. The proposed plan will be under the approved calculations for the sanitary sewer.
Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant consider designs that reduce the building
height and reposition roof structures.

3

(11/13/25)

�2. Francesco Alesci, FBS Contracting, Proposed six-unit apartment building, Site Plan
&amp; Architectural Review Approval- Preliminary Presentation
Luigi Landi stated that he is the Project Designer representing the applicant. Mr. Landi stated
that the original approval included the construction of a 14-unit apartment building. The new
plan proposes preserving the existing two-and-a-half-story, 4-unit building and constructing a
three-story building with 6 apartments at the rear of the property, while keeping the same curb
cut and entrance. The plan includes the creation of a 19-space parking lot between the two
buildings.
Salvator Alesci requested the Board's feedback.
Chairperson Krakauer stated that, since most of the Board is new, they are treating the plan as a
new application. She asked Mr. Landi to describe the proposed changes to impervious surface.
Mr. Landi stated that there would be a slight increase in impervious surface for the parking area.
The stormwater mitigation design would manage the impervious surfaces.
Chairperson Krakauer asked how many parking spots are currently available or being used by
neighboring property owners.
Mr. Alesci stated that the current tenants have 2 parking spots per apartment and use 8 in total,
while 12 or 13 spots are available. He proposes removing the two empty garages because one is
in poor condition and the other is used for storage.
Benjamin Nielsen asked whether the applicant considered constructing two buildings similar in
size to the existing building.
Mr. Alesci stated that the construction costs for three buildings would be much higher, and it
would be more difficult to meet the setback requirements. Mr. Alesci stated that he would prefer
to keep the proposed size and floor area. The property is four feet lower in elevation than
Kendall Avenue, and the condominiums on Andrews Lane are the same height as those they are
proposing. He would consider scaling the roof line down and open to comments on how the
building should look.
Mr. Landi stated that having a parking area in the middle of the lot would be concealed from
street view and would provide easily accessible parking spaces.
The Board discussed aerial views of the existing homes along Beekman Avenue, Kendall
Avenue, and Andrews Lane in relation to the proposed building massing.
Mr. Alesci stated that massing has significantly reduced since the original design approval.
David Smith stated that the plan proposes to preserve the visual street frontage on Beekman
Avenue by keeping the existing house and constructing a building that would be less intrusive in
the back of the property. The property is unusual because it is zoned in the C-2 district but abuts
the residential zone.
4

(11/13/25)

�Chairperson Krakauer suggested finding a way to make the building better fit the site and the
neighboring residential properties.
Ken Anderson requested that the applicant provide satellite views that include the new
condominiums, so that they can review the proposed building in a better context and perceive
how it would look.
Mr. Nielsen suggested that they evaluate whether paving and drive aisles are required and
whether more green space could be added.
There was a discussion between the Board and the applicant about how to incorporate more
green space without reducing the number of parking spaces.
Mr. Alesci asked if the Board agrees to moving forward with the design for one building. He will
determine the available options to scale down the roof lines, reduce the massing, and add more
screen space.
Chairperson Krakauer asked if underground parking was considered.
Mr. Alesci stated that the costs for underground parking are too expensive for the size of the
building.
Richard Gross stated that he is in favor of keeping the outdoor parking area and agrees with the
proposed building's design at the back of the lot.
James Natarelli stated that the previously approved stormwater design worked with the site. He
will wait for the site to be more established before submitting comments on the new design.
Chairperson Krakauer asked whether there were any pending variance requests.
Mr. Landi stated that the current proposal complies with the zoning requirements.
Sean McCarthy stated that the positioning of the building, parking spaces, coverage and setbacks
would determine if variances are required. Since there would be two principal buildings on one
parcel, the Board could provide a positive referral for variances that would allow for a better site
plan design.
Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant review the plan to determine whether they can
reduce the amount of impervious surface and the building massing while maintaining the
proposed unit count.
Mr. Anderson requested better rendering and elevation views and asked whether the parking area
could incorporate more interest and green space. Mr. Anderson stated that he approves moving
forward with the one building.

5

(11/13/25)

�Chris Camia stated that he approves the applicant moving forward with the one building with
improvements to the massing without creating the need for variances.
Benjamin Nielsen stated that he is open to the approval for the one building with massing
improvements.
Mr. Alesci stated that he will look into changes to the building massing that would allow for
more green space without sacrificing on-site parking.
Chairperson Krakauer adjourned the work session at 8:30 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Pamela Kroll
Secretary to the Planning Board

KWD Realty Inc., 309-315 North Broadway, Proposed 4-story self-storage buildingPublic hearing
Chairman Timothy Church stated that the Board received a revised submission on October 8,
2025, requesting to reduce the requested variance for the proposed building height from 53.5 feet
to 43.5 feet, where the maximum permitted building height is 35 feet.
Karl Dibble stated that the revised plans propose eliminating the penthouse level and reducing
the building's appearance to three stories at the lower-level garage entrance. Mr. Dibble
described the proposed setbacks to the residential properties relative to the adjacent buildings.
Chairman Church stated that the front-yard setback and the size of the proposed building are
intimidating and out of character with the residential properties on Lawrence Avenue and along
Route 9 heading south. The proposed building exceeds the permitted lot coverage by 10%. He
suggested that the applicant retain the penthouse square footage by bringing the building closer
to the sidewalk, reducing the front-yard setback to be in keeping with the other commercial
buildings, and gradually increasing the building height from the front to the rear.
There was a discussion between the Board, Mr. Dibble and Bruno Pietrosanti regarding the
requested variances, revisions made to the application during Planning Board reviews, and the
proposed self-storage use.

(ZBA 10/15/2025)

�Chairman Church stated that the proposed self-storage use is not before the Zoning Board to
review and has no impact on their decision. The Board is required to evaluate the criteria for the
requested variances for lot coverage, building height, and setbacks, and to determine how to
mitigate the impact on the neighborhood.
Sean McCarthy summarized the Board’s requests to revise the plans to bring the building closer
to the street by reducing the front-yard setback to 5 feet, replacing the penthouse square footage,
and increasing the building setbacks farther from the residential properties on Lawrence Avenue.
Mr. Pietrosanti said that the requested design changes would not increase the variances for the
70% building coverage and the 53.5-foot building height.
Mr. Dibble asked the Board to confirm that making the suggested changes will not require
reopening the public hearing.
Chairman Church expressed his preference to delay the vote and not reopen the public hearing.
He asked the applicant to revise the plans before the November meeting. The public comments in
opposition to the self-storage use do not concern the Board since it is a permitted use.
Chairman Church moved to adjourn the application to the November 19, 2025 meeting.

infiltrator and include a note that they will tie into the roof leaders if the grade allows.
Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Merheb to confirm whether he intends to have an outdoor
eating and sitting area and if any changes were made to the garbage enclosure materials.
Mr. Merheb stated that the applicant proposed two tables on the concrete walk area.
The owner has agreed to use composite material for the garbage enclosure.
Benjamin Nielsen asked Mr. Merheb if a bicycle rack would be added, if the number of bollards
would be reduced, and to confirm the window materials proposed for the existing window on the
south elevation.
Mr. Merheb stated that there is no practical location for a bike rack on the property. One bollard
will be removed on the north and south sides with increased spacing. CMU block and brick will
be used to infill the window and be painted to match the existing brick. The note on the drawing
is incorrect.
The Board requested that the resolution conditions be amended to reflect the reduction in the
number of bollards and the garbage enclosure material.
Chris Camia moved to approve the resolution as amended.

�photographs of the existing façade. Mr. Andrews stated that the approved Building Permit to
replace the windows included panels and lights. He requested to keep the original brick surround
with no lighting.
The Board requested that the applicant add lighting above the entrance signage, remove the
existing streetlight, and ensure that the proposed signage complies with Village requirements.

building, Amended Site Plan &amp; Architectural Review Approval - Discussion
Benjamin Nielsen moved to open the public hearing.
Moved: Nielsen
Seconded: Gross

Vote 5-0

Mark Blanchard stated that he is the project attorney for the applicant. Mr. Blanchard stated that
the applicant agrees with some of the issues raised by the owner of 74 Beekman Avenue. Mr.
Blanchard stated that the applicant proposes to demolish and reconstruct the retaining wall that
encroaches on 74 Beekman Avenue. The applicant agrees to perform testing to address
stormwater and grading-related matters, as required by the Building Department and the Village
Engineer. The updated survey indicates that the rear corner of the 72 Beekman Building does not
encroach on the 74 Beekman Avenue property. Although the second and third floor window
wells differ from the approved site plan, the current building construction allows for more light
and air to reach 74 Beekman Avenue. Mr. Blanchard requested amended approval and support
for lifting the Stop Work Order, allowing the applicant to continue the interior construction of
the building.

(9/18/25)

�James Natarelli stated that topography information is required to demonstrate that the existing
drainage patterns between the properties would be maintained for the proposed construction and
fill brought into the backyard.
Mr. Blanchard requested that the stormwater-related items be a condition of the approval.
Gabrielle Salman is the project architect representing the applicant. She presented the second and
third floor plans and described how water collects and drains to an existing drywell. The 74
Beekman Avenue windows face that area for light and ventilation.
Chairperson Krakauer asked if this was an improvement over the existing condition.
Mr. Blanchard stated that there is now a larger gap between the 72 Beekman and 74 Beekman
Avenue buildings, which resulted in a positive change.
Richard Gross asked Mr. McCarthy if the property survey was correct.
Sean McCarthy stated that the Building Department received an updated as-built survey this
afternoon, which indicates that the building foundation is on the property line, but includes trim
that encroaches an inch and a quarter onto 74 Beekman Avenue. Ms. Salman said that the trim
piece can be removed and properly flashed.
Benjamin Nielsen requested that Ms. Salman show comparisons of the original and requested
elevations.
Mr. Salman presented elevation drawings of the original building, what was approved, and what
construction requires approval.
Chris Camia suggested removing the awning and installing wood composite signage and lights.
The topography and stormwater items should be resolved as part of approval.
Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the public.
Ana Rakipi stated that she is the owner of 74 Beekman Avenue. Ms. Rakipi detailed her
concerns about potential stormwater issues damaging the foundation of her building, which she
attributed to the demolition and construction of the 72 Beekman Avenue building, specifically
relating to improper roof flashing, window wells, and the work completed to raise the rear yard.
Ms. Rakipi stated that she is waiting for a detailed property survey of her property to be
completed and requested that the Planning Board reconsider granting the application until she
can make sure that her building is protected. Ms. Rakipi stated that Mr. Carrion has been
unwilling to fix the damage to her building.
Joshua Subin stated that the disputes between the property owners are civil matters and
suggested that they work together to agree on temporary compliance issues.

5

(9/18/25)

�Bond Davis is the engineer from Grigg &amp; Davis Engineers, P.C.. He requested that the gaps
between the buildings be repaired, roof flashing be added, and light wells be repaired. The back
portion of the 72 Beekman Avenue building should be properly finished. Construction debris
should be removed from the gaps between the buildings.
Mr. Blanchard stated that Mr. Carrion has not been able to reach a solution with Ms. Rakipi.
He objected to accusations made about his client and stated that the property owner contacted
Mr. Carrion without her attorney and suggested that $75,000 could resolve the issues.
They are here to reach solutions and to move the project forward.
Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. McCarthy if there were interim measures that could be taken.
Mr. McCarthy stated that both property owners must agree to the plans for flashing between the
buildings before the work can proceed.
Mr. Blanchard asked the Board if they would object to Mr. Carrion resuming the interior
construction work if the property survey issues are cleared up.
Chairperson Krakauer stated that it is not in the Board’s purview to lift a Stop Work Order issued
by the Building Department. She requested that the applicant work with the Village Engineer to
resolve the outstanding stormwater-related concerns.
Ms. Rakipi stated that she has pictures and videos of the applicant cutting the foundation of her
building.
Chairperson Krakauer requested that Ms. Rakipi submit the documents to the Building
Department.

Guy Mazzola is a Managing Member of Sun Homes representing One Kingsland Owner, LLC as
the applicant. Mr. Mazzola stated that a slide show has been prepared to address the comments
6

(9/18/25)

�from the Planning Board Work Session. He distributed copies of the presentation documents to
the Planning Board and stated that each slide represents something that was changed.
Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Mazzola to summarize the changes that he plans to present.
Mr. Mazzola stated that the presentation will address the loft size options for Unit 201 of
Building F on Hollows Pass, gas meter and bollard design schemes for Building H at 212-216
Palisades Boulevard and Building I, located at 315-319 Hollows Pass, side façade and
architectural features of Building H, and renderings to clarify the requested 5 to 7 foot shift in the
front yard setback along Building E and Building F along Tappan Zee Park.
Mr. Mazzola presented a revised rendering of the 301-313 Hollows Pass building. Mr. Mazzola
stated that the changes confirm the proposal of three entrance steps for each of the seven
townhome units. Four of the gas meters are proposed on the east elevation of Unit 313. They
propose eliminating the garage windows in Unit 301 to add a bay feature on the first floor, create
a small outdoor space off the dining room, and increase the size of the first-floor windows. The
other three gas meters are proposed on the side with bollards at the Hollows Pass entrance to
improve the architectural aesthetics of the building façade.
Chairperson Krakauer asked if the shrubbery could be planted in front of the gas meters.
Mr. Mazzola stated that an additional small tree could be added to screen the gas meters.
Mr. Mazzola presented a revised rendering of Unit 201 at Hollows Pass, which proposed a onefoot loft setback from the third floor. Per the Board's request, a wall was added to separate the
bedroom from the rest of the loft, allowing for the addition of more windows. The design of the
high-visibility E unit includes a five-foot step-back architectural bay feature, a five-foot-deep
walkout terrace on the first floor, and a small dining room walkout. The loss of five feet to
create the additional bay feature and outdoor space does not allow for enough usable loft space if
they are required to keep the coverage under 50% over the third floor. He proposed that the
Board approve the one-foot setback at a loft coverage of 68%. Mr. Mazzola stated that the loft
setback at 3 feet would result in a 58% percent coverage over the third floor.
Chairperson Krakauer asked if there would be additional walkout space along the loft windows.
Mr. Mazzola stated that they could look into providing a NanaWall feature where the larger loft
windows are proposed.
The Board discussed the loft coverage percentage options.
Mr. Mazzola presented renderings of 201-209 Hollows Pass and 200-210 Palisades Blvd,
including the 201 Hollows Pass unit loft, which features a three-foot loft coverage setback over
the third floor. He said that the loft space would be useless if they were to use the three-foot
setback and keep it under 50% coverage. The only solution would be to construct a different unit
type and not include the architectural bay feature.

7

(9/18/25)

�Mr. Mazzola presented a rendered view looking down the walkway from the buildings at 201209 Hollows Pass and 200-210 Palisades Boulevard, stating that the request for a 5- to 7-foot
front yard setback is needed for the jogging of the different bay elements and front entry
architectural features.
Mr. Mazzola presented a night time rendering view of the proposed pathway light bollards
between Buildings E and F, stating that the gas meters are proposed to be located on the
walkway side, with 5 and 6 meters on each side.
The Board suggested jogging the gas meters between the sides of the buildings and not having
pathway lights on the gas meters.
Mr. Mazzola stated that he would lay out the lighting and gas meters based on the minimum
setback of the windows.
Mr. Mazzola presented a rendering of Building V, located at 321-327 Hollows Pass, and
Building W, located at 322-328 Palisades Boulevard. The proposed changes include the enlarged
windows on the loft level E unit type. The loft setback and coverage would match what the
Board approves for the other E units.
Mr. Mazzola presented a rendering for the interior units of Building H, located at 212-216
Palisades Boulevard, and proposed the same changes to the building façade as 301 Hollows Pass.
Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Mazzola to describe the proposed gas meter screening and
safety bollards.
Mr. Mazzola presented sketches for gas meter and bollard options that would provide safety, but
do not necessarily fix the aesthetics.
The Board discussed bollard design options for Building H &amp; Building I.
Mr. Mazzola presented a summary of gas meter locations. Mr. Mazzola presented a private site
signage plan and suggested focusing on a sign at each entrance road. He requested that the Board
approve the signage plan and stated that he would be open to adding more if needed after
installation.
Chris Camia recommended separating the mailboxes into sections.
The Board discussed the signage related to the interior buildings.
Chairperson Krakauer asked if the Fire Department had reviewed the emergency vehicle
circulation and proposed signage plan.
Sean McCarthy stated that he has not received a response from the Fire Department.

8

(9/18/25)

�The Planning Board discussed the brick walkway added between Building E &amp; Building F to
provide pedestrian access to Building H. The Board requested that the applicant add a pathway to
connect the new walkway to the sidewalk along Building H.
Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the public.
There were no public comments.
Mr. Mazzola asked if the Planning Board would consider approving the application with
conditions.
David Smith stated that the draft resolutions could be ready for the next meeting.
Joshua Subin suggested that the Board could close the public hearing.
Chris Camia moved to close the public hearing.

6. Joseph &amp; Devin Bandelli, 274 Kelbourne Avenue, Proposed pool, Site Plan &amp;
Approval- Discussion
Chairperson Krakauer stated that the application received approved from the Zoning Board of
Appeals.
Ostap Vidov is the contractor representing the applicant. Mr. Vidov stated that the Board
requested better views of the current site conditions and the existing trees. Mr. Vidov stated that
the pool equipment would be located in the basement mechanical room. Changes were made to
the pool design to include a fountain feature and winged steps.
Chairperson Krakauer asked if the wings are necessary to install the fountain feature and if they
would affect the original intent of the pool.
Devin Bandelli stated that the pool would be used as a lap pool. The wings provide a safer way
to access the pool.
Chairperson Krakauer stated the Board would have the Village Arborist evaluate the Linden tree
to see if he has any recommendations to preserve its health. She asked the property owner if they
considered relocating the pool further away from the tree.
Devin Bandelli stated that the proposed pool lines up with the existing house facade and the
patio.
Jay Schulz asked for the distance from the wall foundation to the Linden tree.
9

(9/18/25)

�Mr. Vidov stated that there is approximately 15 feet from the Linden tree to the foundation wall.
Reconstruction of the stonewall will allow for better access during pool construction and prevent
disturbance to the tree.
Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Vidov if the wall materials would be repurposed to match the
wall along the street.
Ms. Bandelli stated that the driveway wall was constructed to match the wall on the street and be
in keeping with the neighborhood's character.
Mr. Vidov stated that they would remove and repurpose 15 to 20 percent of the original stone
and introduce new stone that will match as closely as possible.
Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant plant the proposed shrubbery on the outside of
the pool screening fencing.
Benjamin Nielsen asked if the pool walls are higher than the pool coping and if they would rely
on the hedge material for screening.
Ms. Bandelli stated that the pool would not be visible beyond the brick wall, and the proposed
trees will provide privacy.
Mr. Vidov stated that the proposed hedge is higher than the pool surround wall. The wall is not
visible from the street. He presented the landscape plan from the front walkway.
Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the consultants.
James Natarelli requested that the applicant respond to his review memo addressing the
stormwater and wall evaluations.
Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board is comfortable scheduling the public hearing.
Jay Schulz moved to schedule the public hearing for the October 16, 2025 meeting.

7. Sleepy Hollow Holdings, LLC, 144 Cortlandt Street, Proposed change of use,
Site Plan &amp; Architectural Review Approval - Discussion
Chairperson Krakauer asked if the property owner has made any connections with potential
commercial tenants since the last meeting.
Gabrielle Salman is the architect representing the applicant. She stated that they have not
received commercial tenant interest for the space.

10

(9/18/25)

�Zui Horowitz is the property owner. Mr. Horowitz stated that he has reached out to those who
may be interested in a commercial space. The property has been listed on the MLS for five years,
during which time it has only received three interested parties who did not take action after
seeing the neighboring buildings. He suggested demolishing the existing garage and standalone
storage space in the rear of the property to obtain the requested approval to convert the first-floor
storefront and part of the basement level into residential use. Removal of the garage and storage
structure would allow him to create approximately four parking spaces in the rear of the building
for tenant use.
Chairperson Krakauer asked if grants were offered to help renovate the building façade, would
he be able to make the space more marketable for commercial tenants.
Mr. Horowitz stated that renovating the façade would make the building more marketable for
residential use. There has been no interest in a commercial space.
The Board discussed the existing conditions and parking requirements.
Chairperson Krakauer requested that the applicant submit a revised application.
8. John Mancebo, 278 Harwood Avenue, Proposed additions and alterations, Site Plan
&amp; Architectural Review Approval- Preliminary Presentation
John Mancebo stated that the existing 1,088-square-foot house has a slab-on-grade foundation,
two bedrooms, one bathroom, and an attached non-compliant one-car garage. The application
proposes to remove the existing garage, construct a detached two-car garage with a second-floor
home office and guest room, and construct second-floor and attic additions on the existing
footprint that are compliant with the Zoning Code. Mr. Mancebo stated that the revised
submission addresses the items discussed at the Planning Board’s work session regarding tree
removals, engineering, architectural plan corrections, and neighborhood photographs.
Nick Shirriah is an engineer from Hudson Engineering &amp; Consulting, P.C., representing the
applicant. He stated that the deep hole and percolation tests were completed. The proposed
infiltration system is sized to improve runoff for the house, garage, patio and driveway. Since the
driveway is on a steep slope, it will not be easy to collect 100 percent of the runoff on site. The
plan details the five trees that need to be removed for the stormwater system.
The Board discussed the proposed locations and requirements for obtaining a Tree Removal
Permit.
The Board discussed the architectural details of the entrance doors, garage windows, and the
river views.
The Board requested that the applicant provide a landscape plan that includes native plantings
and considers the addition of canopy trees in the front yard.

11

(9/18/25)

�James Natarelli stated that he witnessed the percolation tests, which show that the proposed
infiltration is feasible on-site. There was a discussion between Mr. Mancebo, Mr. Shirriah, and
James Natarelli regarding the driveway extension and the walkway to the front door.
Chairperson Krakauer scheduled the public hearing for the October 16, 2025 meeting.
10. Approval of minutes, July 10, 2025, July 17, 2025

Chairperson Krakauer polled the Board members for their thoughts on approving the change of
use.
Chris Camia stated that he is not in favor of the proposed change of use.

would create a parking issue.
Jay Schulz stated that the space would be better for commercial use. Providing more walkable
commercial options would eliminate the need for more parking spaces.
Mr. Camia stated that issues with finding a commercial tenant are not a valid reason for
approving the change of use. The owner can make investments to make the property marketable
for commercial uses, just as they would be required to attract residential tenants.

proposes six units in the new building.

with 14 apartments.
The Board discussed the proposed application and their suggestions for opportunities to increase
the use of the property lot and provide more green space.
Chairperson Krakauer stated that they should let the applicant present their application at the
meeting before making their recommendations.
Board Discussions
Staff Reviews
Benjamin Nielsen stated that the Board is not leveraging input from the staff and consultants.
The Board often rushes to comment on minor details that can be resolved later in the review
process. He requested that Sean McCarthy, David Smith, and James Natarelli provide initial
reviews of the applications, pointing out potential problems, detailing their compatibility with the
Comprehensive Plan, and any code-related issues that the Board should consider.
