Respectfully suimifeted, C I j IRENE AMATO, ACTING CLERK \ �Shelley & Nicholas Robinson 258 Kelburne Avenue Sleepy Hollow, New York 10591 (914) 631-7028 March 26, 2001 Mr. Robert Welch 260 Kelburne Avenue Sleepy Hollow New York 10591 BY HAND DELIVERY Dear Bob, Thank you for your certified letter dated March 16, 2001, advising us that you had on March 16th filed plans with the Sleepy Hollow Board of Architectural Review for a substantial addition to your house, including expanding the second floor, raising the roof over the master bedroom and adding dormers to the attic. We picked up the letter from the post office last week. We have reviewed the plans on file with the Village, and would request that you reconsider them. Fundamentally, the way you plan to add to the bulk of your building will interview with the view of the Hudson from our property and from the public lane which provides access to both our properties. We have tried to be helpful to you as neighbors since you moved in. We were not pleased, as you know, with your decision to place your noisy air conditioning compressor unit opposite our front porch, without discussing this with us first. We did not object to your removal of the five foot fence that the Lewis' had maintained for decades between our small yards, or to your decision to cut down several mature trees that graced your property. We have been tolerant of the trucks you have in the lane, although they have often impeded Shelley's response to ambulance calls. We did not object to your acquisition of the paper road owned by the Village west of your property. Your present proposal, however, would be injurious to us and we are constrained to object. Your proposed addition of a much expanded second and third story to your house will significantly affect the quiet enjoyment of our property. Before describing our serious concerns, may 1 point out two technical problems you have. First, you are using an old 1957 survey, and you should use a current survey. In actuality your present building is only 9 feet from the lot line on the side lot between our properties, and you do not have the set back of 10 feet required under the Village Code (Schedule of Regulations, Part III, for R-2 zone lot) in order to expand the bulk of that portion of your �* Robert Welch -2- March 26, 2001 building. If you can produce a current survey that shows otherwise, I would be happy to take a look at it. Second, the New York State Building Code limits a building such as yours (Type 5 construction) to 2 stories, and even if you put the dormer windows into your attic that story could not legally be habitable space (Sections 705.2(b), and 606.3(2)(100) of the NYS Building Code). It appears that the Village does not have the authority to grant you the changes that you are seeking, and therefore it would be appropriate for you to withdraw your application and to reconsider your plans. Even if these problems did not exist, however, there are several reasons why we invite you to withdraw your application. We gathered from your discussions with us when you sought to buy the Village paper road to the west of your property that you intend eventually to expand your house in that direction, with the addition of a new garage and second story above it. Would it not would make much more sense for you to submit all your plans together, so that the neighbors and Village officials can properly evaluation the full scope of your intended changes? Your house was designed with an integrity of scale, to fit onto a difficult site. The addition of bulk on the back of your house deprives it of a balanced design and compromises the integrity of the building. Your proposed plans, in short, would not be as lovely as the existing building, and from aesthetic considerations alone should not be endorsed by the Board of Architectural Review. Our Village does not need to evolve toward "MacMansions." Had you wanted to live in a larger home, there are many to be found. Your proposal will eventually have to be referred to the Local Waterfront Revitalization Committee for consistency findings under the Village LWRP. The proposed interference with the viewshed violates the Village of Sleepy Hollow's LWRP Policies 23, 23A, 23B, 23C and 25, 25A and 25B, and should be revised so as not to violate those policies. The Village should not have new bulk added to houses so as to wall off views of the River from other parts of the Village. The views from the public lane are important, especially since the lane is narrow. The views from the lane should not be encroached upon. You need to reconsider your ideas in light of these Village coastal zone planning policies. More fundamental from our neighborly perspective, is the way your proposal would destroy much of our south-west views toward the Hudson River. Our house once faced the River, as yours does now, and when your house was build (blocking the full River view from our house) the original builder was careful to leave corner angle views �Robert Welch -3- March 26,2001 from our property. We have enjoyed these views. We moved to Philipse Manor in 1972 because the neighborhood was fully built (with the exception of a few vacant lots) We did not expect building proposals that would further restrict our River views. The proposed roof raising and expansion your second story restrict our southwesterly river views from our patio, yard, garage sun roof, and from the interior windows of our house. For instance, your proposal to raise the roof over your master bed room will wipe out the southwest view of the Hudson from our master bed room. Moreover, since river views add substantially to real estate value, your plans to restrict our views could diminish our property value. If you persist in your application, we shall have to rely on the Board of Architectural Review to respect our existing property rights, and ask the Board not approve your plans which, if approved, would - in effect - constitute an act of inverse condemnation, and be an unlawful taking our property rights and values. Your proposals to add new windows are also an intrusion since the new windows peer directly into our back year. Our first reaction to your plan was that now we shall have to build back the five foot fence between our lots, just so that we can restore a modicum privacy to our lot. The dormer windows, from the non-habitable attic, will loom toward our yard. There are other ways to bring light into your attic that are less intrusive to your immediate neighbors. Have you considered them? Finally, we note that you have retained a fine architect for your proposal, Sean E. McCarthy, and we are grateful that you seek to maintain the same architectural style (if not the bulk) with a quality architectural firm. However, we must note that it is not proper for a Member of the Board of Architectural Review to appear before that same Board representing you as an applicant. It is fundamental element of good government and ethics in New York State that Board Members not appear before the Boards on which they serve. It is not enough to have a member recuse himself or herself as employment conflicts arise. We do not wish to recommend that Sean McCarthy step down from his service on our Village's Architectural Review Board, or seek a formal ethics ruling about his status thus far, and it would just be best if you simply withdrew your application in �Robert Welch -4- March 26,2001 light of these problems also. After you have withdrawn your application, may we respectfully suggest that you consider retaining a representative to appear before the Board whose position will not entail the appearance of a conflict of interest. We look forward to discussing your plans with you, and hope that you will reconsider your proposals. Very truly yours, Shelley M.

Margotta, Building Inspector Village of Sleepy Hollow 28 Beekman Avenue Sleepy Hollow, New York 10591 Dear Mr. Margotta: With reference to the construction of a four-foot retaining wall and landfill proposed to the back yard bordering Bellwood Avenue to the property known as 9 Farrington Avenue, now owned by the Gomer-van der Merwe's, I have to state that my husband and I have some serious concerns. We had requested a meeting with our newest neighbors and asked that they explain exactly what their intentions are so that we would not object frivolously. After spending some time with them and going over all aspects, it only confirmed my initial feeling. Basically, while it may be the Gomer-van der Merwe's back yard, it is, in essence, our front yard. The following are the issues as I see them: 1. Impact to existing and thriving arborvitae: A four-foot wall on our side would have an impact on our expensive and thriving arborvitae planted along the side and on the gentle slope toward Bellwood. The wall would be the highest at the front, and taper off after 15-20 feet, more or less, leaving the trunks of the arborvitae below the wall. Our landscaper has told us that a situation such as that would not be good for longevity of the trees. A second point would be, although our trees are planted at least a foot back from the property line, how would the very fact of construction in such close proximity affect these beautiful ,living and thriving trees. 2. Drainage: There will have to be some negative results to altering the lay of the land in that area. Any drainage holes on our side would not only increase flow during a heavy rain, but would no doubt wash out the roots of the arborvitae and hydrangea growing there. �3. Aesthetics: The natural beauty already existing in that area would be drastically changed from our viewpoint. As a matter of fact, I visualize it being rather ugly, unnatural, ultimately killing the trees planted there, creating washouts and gullies. In summation, while my husband and I understand the Gomer-van der Merwe's desire for an even lawn, some of us in the Manor simply do not have it. Tom Kennedy, who built our house, constructed a railroad tie wall on the other side of our yard and we are constantly dealing with washouts. It is usually never a good thing to change the lay of the land. I do not know whether there is any compromise that can solve this problem as the Gomer-van der Merwe's seem adamant in going forward. Perhaps if they constructed it two feet or so back from the property line between us.. just a thought. I am open to suggestions that will allow us to maintain the natural beauty that now exists. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thank you.

However I did have an issue, which I would like read into the record There appears to be an underground stream which runs between the property to the west of the Rosenbloom property, through the Rosenbloom property and in to our property. This appears to be a natural stream. During rainstorms this stream does flood and adds to the current water problem in our house as well as other homes along the north side of Hunter Avenue. I would suggest that if there is any planned excavation that the building engineer or DEP inspect the site to be certain any disruption to the natural stream will not result in further water problems.
