                  <text>Meeting Date 07/21/2009
Resolution:
07/136/09

Whereas, upon the petition of the Estate of Laurence Rockefeller, on August 12,
2008 the Board of Trustees voted to amend the zoning code of the Village of Sleepy
Hollow to change the zoning from R-l to CEM (cemetery) on a parcel of property
owned by the Estate of Laurance Rockefeller located along Route 9, across from
Sleepy Hollow Manor; and
Whereas, with all actions taken by the Board of Trustees regarding amendments
to the Village zoning codes and local laws, certain procedures and protocol must be
adhered to in order to ensure fairness and due process for all residents of the Village
of Sleepy Hollow, as well as all other interested parties to the actions; and
Whereas, any action taken with regard to said amendments to the Village zoning
codes and local laws must be referred to and approved by the Department of
Planning, Westchester County; and
Whereas, regarding the action taken on August 12, 2008 herein, the Westchester
County Board of Legislators must also approve the action because the subject
property is intended to be used as a cemetery; and
Whereas, neither the Westchester County Department of Planning and the
Westchester County Board of Legislators has approved said action of the Board of
Trustees at the present time; and
Whereas, a transcript of said action amending the Village Local Laws was never
filed with the Secretary of State, State of New York; and
Whereas, the Board of Trustees has requested counsel to review the file and the
proceedings held herein regarding said action, seeking a determination whether the
action taken by the Board of Trustees on August 12, 2008 was legal and in substantial
compliance with the relevant laws, rules and regulations of all State, County and
Village codes governing said action; and
Whereas, it appears the action of the Board of Trustees was not in compliance
with all applicable laws, rules and regulations;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved, the Board of Trustees, pursuant to
parliamentary procedure as outlined in Robert's Rules of Order which have been so
adopted by this Board, does hereby rescind Resolution Number 08/171/08. dated
August 12, 2008; and be it further

�Resolved, the Village Clerk is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution
to the Westchester County Department of Planning, Westchester County Board of
Legislators and the Planning Board of the Village of Sleepy Hollow forthwith.
