Police Officers, Paul Nelson and Thomas Naeke.
Mayor Zegarelli stated that we will adjust the agenda to address anymore comments
regarding the garbage tax from those who had not already spoken at the earlier
session.
Mr. Galella objected to the garbage tax for churches.
The Mayor commented that we will address the charges for the churches.
A few other residents complained about the garbage tax.
A store owner on Beekman Avenue did not complain about the garbage tax but
complained about the lack of enforcement of illegal garbage being dumped in front
of her store and others at night by other people.
Trustee DiFelice made a motion to call for a public hearing to rescind the garbage
tax, seconded by Trustee Capossela. On roll call vote, Trustees DiFelice and
Capossela voted yes and Trustees Grala, Zieja, Murray and Mayor Zegarelli voted
no, motion did not pass.

Trustee DiFelice wanted it noted that he was against paying Community Television.
Public Comments
Diane Martello commented that there are too many new buildings being built and
the parking situation for them had not been taken into consideration therefore
residents who live in those areas cannot find parking. She suggested issuing parking
permits for those residents living in that area so only they could park on that street.
She also commented that tag sale signs are not taken down in a timely fashion and
the ordinance should be enforced.
The Mayor commented that in order to have parking stickers for residents to park
on the street may require an act of legislature. As far as the tag sale signs or any
other signs, we are looking into changing that ordinance.
Frank Occhipinti had comments regarding Webber Avenue sidewalk
improvements, speed bumps are causing too much noise and that there are too
many illegal apartments which generate a lot of garbage and we are not doing
anything about the illegal apartments.
The Mayor commented that we are waiting for a grant from the County for the
sidewalks and we are working on the illegal apartments.
Edna Belanich commented that the quality of life in the village is very important
and the merchants should take care of sweeping and cleaning their sidewalks.

Re: Fund for the Historic 1883 Sleepy Hollow Lighthouse, Inc.
Dear Dwight:
i enclose a copy of the filed Certificate of Incorporation for the Fund for the
Historic 1883 Sleepy Hollow Lighthouse, Inc. I am also enclosing a bill from
Blumberg/Excelsior for services rendered. Could you discuss with Phil how to
pay this bill. Let me know when a check is sent for payment of the bill.
You will note that the Corporation is not permitted to operate a museum. If Phil
wants the Corporation to operate as a museum as well as a fund raiser, we will
have to obtain approval from the Board of Regents.
The next step is to prepare Form 1023 for filing with the IRS to obtain status as a
charitable organization I can work with you to complete the form. The major task
for Phil and you is to prepare projections of income and expenses for the next
three years and a current balance sheet. The Board will have to adopt a simple
conflict of interest policy. I can send you a sample policy to review.
Sincerely,
Robert W.Spencer

�Meeting Date: September 27,2005
Resolution #: 0 9 / 7 0 5
Inner Village Zoning Amendments
Environmental Significance Determination
WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow has from
time to time considered amendments to the Village's Zoning Code to reflect changed
conditions within the Village; and
WHEREAS, after reviewing an analysis of existing land use patterns, zoning
requirements and inconsistencies within the Village's downtown commercial core, the
Village has proposed specific zoning map and text amendments that will consolidate the
C-2 district and bring the zoning code into better conformity with the existing conditions;
and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments would permit mixed-use development within the
C-2 district and incorporate dimensional standards for these buildings, and eliminate the
distance restriction between restaurants or food service establishments (the Proposed
Action); and
WHEREAS, on April 12,2005, the Village Board declared its intent to act as Lead
Agency under the State Environmental Quality Review Act regulations and referred the
aforementioned revisions to all interested and involved agencies, including the Village of
Sleepy Hollow Planning Board, for their review and recommendation consistent with
Chapter 62-53.B. of the Village Zoning Code; and
WHEREAS, a properly noticed public hearing on the proposed zoning code and map
amendments was held on May 24,2005 and June 21,2005, at which time all those
wishing to be heard were afforded the opportunity to speak; and
WHEREAS, the Waterfront Advisory Committee reviewed and discussed the Proposed
Action on July 13,2005 and September 14,2005; and
WHEREAS, at its September 14,2005 meeting the WAC found the proposed action to be
consistent with the Local Waterfront Revhalization Plan; and
WHEREFORE, based on its review of the record, including the Full Environmental
Assessment Form and Coastal Assessment Form, the Village Board makes the following
environmental findings of fact:
1.

The modification of the C-2 district to permit mixed-use buildings is
consistent with the existing heavily mixed-use character of the C-2
neighborhood. The proposed bulk modifications incorporate a floor area ratio
format that is equivalent to the amount of development permitted by the
existing coverage and setback regulations, but that allows for new infill

�development to respect the prevalent design pattern in the downtown
commercial core.
2.

Since the amendments do not provide for any increases in density, there are no
anticipated environmental impacts that would be typically associated with
growth (e.g., increase in traffic generation, water usage, population
generation, solid waste production, pollution, stormwater runoff, energy
usage, etc.)

3.

The application of the existing setback requirements on an infill lot would
create undesirable gaps in the urban fabric. The proposed removal of the front
and side setback requirements in the C-2 district would allow new infill
development to be sited in a manner that maintains a strong streetwall and
reinforces the neighborhood's distinctive "urban village" character.
Therefore, the amendment is anticipated to have a positive impact on
community character.

4.

The rezoning of the two areas of C-2 zoning on the fringes of the existing
downtown commercial core to residential districts will provide zoning that is
more consistent with the existing land use pattern in these areas and will help
to focus and consolidate the commercial core. By tightening the C-2 zone, the
Village can encourage a compact, active, commercial area with a walkable
extent that attracts multipurpose shopping trips. Allowing for a dispersement
of commercial activity may dilute the core business area and ultimately reduce
its distinctiveness as a shopping location.

5.

In its discussion of existing land use and development, the Village's Local
Waterfront Revitalization Plan notes "the C-2 General Commercial Zoning
District that covers most of the Village's downtown commercial districts
should be revised to provide better recognition of the traditional mixed use
(commercial/residential) nature of the neighborhoods." The proposed
amendment of §62-8B implements this suggestion.
The elimination of the distance restrictions relative to restaurant and food
service establishments is intended to enhance the restaurant opportunities and
allow for an informal concentration of such businesses that would increase
downtown visitation and activity and would further Policy 1G to "restore,
revitalize, and redevelop the Village's Central Business District with emphasis
on stabilizing and strengthening existing business, furthering a waterfront
image for the village, and preserving its historic community character."

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village Board does hereby determine,
after careful and considerable review that the Proposed Action will not have a significant
effect on the environment and that a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be
required; and be it further

�RESOLVED, that the Village Board determines that the Proposed Action is consistent
with the goals and policies of the Village's Local Waterfront Revhahzation Plan; and be
it further
RESOLVED, that the Village Board hereby adopts Local Laws _ , _^_ and ]_ amending
§62-8B, §62-20.1, and the zoning map of the Village of Sleepy Hollow Code,
respectively; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Village Clerk is hereby directed to enter the amendments into the
minutes of this meeting and in the code book of the Village of Sleepy Hollow, and give
due notice of the adoption of said amended Local Laws to the Secretary of the State of
the State of New York.

�Mr. Mayor and Honorable members of the Board of Trustees
It is with great dismay I come before the board tonight. I have great regard
and respect for all of you. I know the sacrifice all of you make to offer
yourselves to serve our village.
With this in mind, I come before you with great dismay. I am very, very
upset. In fact, I am angry. I am angry toward this honorable body because
of a recent decision that I have great reservations about and believe it must
have been decided in error.
Please tell me that taxing or what you may call "assessing", the
church for garbage disposal at $250.00 is a mistake.
I know you are all-familiar with the laws of this state and are fully aware
that religious institutions are tax exempt. To be gracious, I can say that you
may be innocently considering the parsonage as a resident or even possibly a
business. But I am here to remind you that although the Pastor may sleep
and eat in the parsonage, this building is an integral part of the main edifice.
Father
performs many pastoral duties in this building. He
counsels, consoles, prays and along with many other things also has
meetings in his " Home."
This is not solely a residence nor is it a business, (unless, you consider
saving souls a business,) it is inconceivable that you would go forward with
this taxation on a religious institution. This church should not be hindered by
taking resources from it, but rather praised for the services it provides for
this community that otherwise would be provided by regular taxation on the
entire village.
I plead with you tonight to reconsider this harmful precedent and consider
the many services this church performs at great savings to this community.
As an example, there are three AA groups that find a haven and meet
regularly in the church. What would that cost the village?
This is a small community with many churches. We are a religious
community. Please don't add to the cultural attack on our places of worship.
Please give consideration to the struggle for resources the churches in our
village all experience. There must be another way of achieving your goals
besides taxing and further limiting the resources of our churches.

�I would greatly appreciate and I believe my friends and neighbors would
appreciate a show of hands of those on this board that are in favor of this
damaging, drastic, precedent setting notion.
Would you please let us know now, who is in favor of this horrendous
precedent? Please be recognized.
Thank you for your kind attention.
