These amendments include: • • • • • • • Removing the R-4A zone along Hudson Street and replacing it with the R-5 and C-2 zones, reflecting current land uses. Creating the Lower Beekman Avenue Design Standards Overlay District, which would act as a form-based code for the Beekman Avenue corridor between Clinton Street and Kendal Avenue. The Overlay District regulations would maintain the existing residential character of the area while permitting compatible commercial uses, and would require new development to follow specific design standards. Revision of the permitted uses within the C-2 district, removing auto-oriented uses and including multiple-use businesses, breweries, co-working spaces, galleries and studios, museums, instructional uses, child care centers, outdoor dining, and artisan manufacturing as permitted uses. The goals of these additions is to promote flexibility in building use to strengthen the local business community. Elimination of the locational requirement for restaurants and food service establishments, which currently requires 200 foot separation of all such uses. Allowing certain non-residential uses on the upper floors of mixed-use buildings, permitting additional flexibility in building use. Amending the C-2 zone's parking requirements, increasing medical and dental office parking to 1 space for each 150 square feet of floor area, and waiving the minimum parking requirement for commercial and residential buildings on lots 30 feet or less in width. The distance requirement for off-site parking areas would be extended to 500 feet. Buildings currently non-conforming in regards to parking would be considered legally non-conforming, and a parking credit would be implemented for future changes in use within such buildings. Creating development incentives to encourage investment in the C-2 district, and to encourage adaptive re-use of existing institutional, religious, educational, and other historic structures that have become vacant. 432 Michaelian Office Building 148 Martine Avenue White Plains, New York 10601 Telephone: (914) 995-4400 Website: westchestergov.com �Referral File No. SLH 21-001 - C-2 and R-4A Districts - Zoning Text and Map Amendment July 19, 2021 Page 2 • Amending the Strategic Property Redevelopment Floating Zone to include privately owned properties with 60 feet or more of continuous street frontage on Beekman Avenue, Valley Street, Cortland Street, or River Street. We have no objection to the Sleepy Hollow Board of Trustees assuming Lead Agency status for this review. We have reviewed this matter 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 offer the following comments: 1. Consistency with County Planning Board and local policies. The proposed amendments are generally consistent with the County Planning Board's long-range planning policies set forth in Westchester 2025—Context for County and Municipal Planning and Policies to Guide County Planningy adopted by the Board on May 6, 2008, amended January 5, 2010, and its recommended strategies set forth in Patterns for Westchester: The Land and the People, adopted December 5, 1995 as they aim to direct future growth towards downtown Sleepy Hollow. The zoning changes would also uphold the character of the downtown while promoting flexibility in use, which should help revitalize the commercial center, especially as the Edge-on-Hudson development is constructed and more residents move into the Village. 2. Affordable housing provisions. While we note that the Village has incorporated many of the provisions of the County's Model Ordinance regarding affordable affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH), we point out that the code contains provisions to allow applicants to pay a fee-in-lieu to buy out of their responsibility to provide affordable housing. We strongly oppose any fee-in-lieu provisions as they often fail to provide enough funding to actually construct the units that would have been required by a particular development. Regarding the proposed amendment, we question why applicants who provide 10% affordable housing within new development would be granted points towards receiving development incentives when a 10% set aside is currently mandated. We recommend that this community benefit be applied to developers who provide affordable housing in excess of what is required. 3. Shared parking. We commend the Village for including a provision to waive the parking requirements for smaller buildings. Inflexible parking requirements can lead to difficulties involving changes of use within commercial centers, particularly for older buildings which pre-date the era of widespread automobile usage. In addition to this provision, we also recommend the Village consider adding regulations to allow shared parking, which would further lessen the need for individual parking lots and provide another means for new businesses to accommodate vehicles. 4. Green building technology and bicycle parking. While the Overlay District Design Standards include some references of green infrastructure, there is a discrepancy as to whether permeable pavement shall be utilized for parking areas and sidewalks, or if this �Referral File No. SLH 21-001 - C-2 and R-4A Districts - Zoning Text and Map Amendment J u l y 19, 2021 Page 3 design element is just highly encouraged. It would be preferable to promote a requirement for permeable pavement, as well as the inclusion of more green infrastructure requirements. We also recommend that the design standards require bicycle parking areas as part of the Neighborhoods Storefront Building Typology, in order to accommodate bicycle usage in the Village. 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, WESTCHESTER COUNTY PLANNING BOARD By: Norma V. Drummond Commissioner NVD/MV �Anne White comments on Proposed Zoning Code Updates. July 26, 2021 1. Hudson Street Zoning change. Agree. 2. Lower Beekman Avenue Design Standards Overlay District. Agree, but with some questions. • Generally, I wonder if this is overly prescriptive. • Accessibility. In the proposed permitted Building Typologies, there is no requirement for ADA access. For commercial, shouldn't this be required? I would note that there are many existing stores in the Village that are NOT accessible, but this does not allow elderly people to enter those establishments. Surely ADA should be provided for new and renovated buildings — a missed opportunity and one reason very few Kendal residents shop in Sleepy Hollow at the moment. As for residential, given that raised porches and stoops are encouraged, shouldn't a ramp be required to provide access for handicapped? Also, under Landscaping Design Standards (p.9), the following is problematic for people with mobility devices: "Materials for paving...shail be...stormwater permeable.... Brick or cobble stones are encouraged." I understand and agree with the intent, but paving surfaces should be easy for people with mobility devices to navigate, and these surfaces generally are not. • Architectural Standards. I agree with most of the guidance, but again raise the question of whether all these details and illustrations are overly prescriptive, but perhaps this is necessary to achieve the desired outcome. In any case, I emphatically DISAGREE with the following (p. 10): "At corner lots, the primary building entrance should be located at the corner of the property at a 45degree to Beekman Avenue..." I think this would look awful and would note that none of the illustrations show a building with a corner doorway at a 45-degree angle. • Revise Permitted Uses in the C-2 District... (p.20). I agree with the proposed changes to phase out auto-oriented uses and to allow for more flexibility in the types of establishments allowed. And I agree on the importance of eliminating the current code restriction that does not allow a new restaurant, etc. to open within 200 feet of an existing similar establishment, (p.22) In this same vein, I would recommend that additional banks be allowed to open branches in Sleepy Hollow, as I understand Mahopac is the only one currently allowed. Having additional banks (and/or credit unions) in the downtown area would help bring additional people to shop in Sleepy Hollow, knowing they can do their banking as they shop. If, for example, they use Chase, at the moment, they are more likely to go to Tarrytown or Pleasantville. • Allow Non-Residential Uses on Upper Floors of Mixed-Use Buildings. Yesj This is very important. �• Revise Parking Requirements...for a Transit-Oriented Downtown. I agree with these proposals generally, but question the across-the-board higher parking requirement for medical and dental offices. Many local doctors and dentists serve patients who live in the downtown area and walk to appointments, so should not be penalized with higher parking requirements. The new Open Door facility is an example of an important medical facility that was burdened with onerous parking requirements which were very costly to buiid and delayed the opening of this much-needed facility that many patients are able to walk to. One more note: Referring moment an hour and not operating beyond within • to our downtown as "Transit-Oriented" for all who do not live in the downtown, late in the evening the scope of this Zoning the Village and additional when many employees' Code proposalbut transit is a joke at the with our only transit options, the #13 bus once shifts end. This is we must create a circulator to reduce the need for bus parking. Create Development Incentives/Community Benefits. I'm very much in favor of this, but have questions about a couple of the Community Benefits, and would like more specificity as to what each entails. Affordable Housing. This, to me, is the greatest need that is not being addressed and does not appear to be a top priority for the Village. The 5% affordable housing units at Edge-on-Hudson is totally inadequate and does not reflect the stated interest of the Mayor and Board of Trustees in retaining a diversity of residents in our village. I'm happy to see a minimum of 10% affordable units included in the list of Community Benefits as a top priority, awarded 5 points, but it needs to be more clearly defined as to what % of Westchester County AMI is required to earn those points. Income limits for a 4-person household to be eligible for housing units @ or below 60% Westchester County AMI is $76,500, with monthly rent for a 3-bedroom apartment limited to $2,044, minus utilities allowance. For Sleepy Hollow, I assume this would be workforce housing. income limits for a 4-person household to be eligible for housing units @ no more than 50% Westchester County AMI is $63,750, with monthly rent for a 3-bedroom apartment limited to $1,657, minus utilities allowance. For Sleepy Hollow, I believe this still would be too high for families whose income is @ or below 30% AMI ($38,250). This is my recommendation: Review and refine Affordable Housing Benefit. If 5 points is awarded for 10% affordable housing @ or below 60% AMI, then consider additional points for 15% affordable units or if 5% of the affordable units are @ 30-50% AMI. • Neighborhood Stabilization Fund. This is a great community benefit, but I would like it to be more clearly defined. Who would be eligible for these funds? Who would oversee and administer the funds, etc?

It felt like a step in the right direction. I was even more pleasantly surprised when I received a call from Mr. David Parker from NYSDOT, to confirm that I had seen the email that I had been copied on. I took the opportunity to thank him but also to ask further questions. Highlights of the conversation include learning more about how such work is scheduled and executed, his role attending regular meetings for the Ossining Route 9 plan, and what it would take for us to be assigned someone from NYSDOT. I was also able to inquire about the crosswalk with missing pavement markings across Pocantico where it intersects with Route 9. He looked it up and confirmed this fell within their jurisdiction and appeared to be missing and that he would try and schedule for it to be painted when the one at Lawrence/Gordon is done later this year, though he would confirm this later via email. There appears to be an opportunity to request other urgent pavement markings to be painted at the same time as well. If you are aware of any, please let me know and I can communicate them to him or put you in contact with him. It did sound like he was already aware of ongoing conversations between the Village and NYSDOT regarding more involved desired improvements. Knowing how difficult it can be to communicate with NYDOT and the slow progress regarding their approval and support for allowing us to make much needed improvements along Route 9 to ensure safer crossings and transit, I was discouraged to learn that our Village might not sign a collective letter from the rivertowns involved in the Route 9 Active Transportation Plan. I believe having success with NYSDOT requires a multi-prong approach. Participating in a collective letter does not preclude continued efforts on behalf of our village by staff, leaders, consultants, and citizens. I think the more voices we have contacting NYSDOT advocating for a safer Route 9 the better, though an organized and aligned effort could be even more powerful.

Housing Costs Westchester County uses the AMI standard to set eligibility requirements for its funding programs for both rental and ownership housing. Affordability is broadly defined as a household paying no more than 30% of their monthly GROSS income towards their housing costs. Based on the AMI for Westchester County, the following table calculates 30% of each income group's total monthly gross income—the maximum that should be dedicated towards housing costs.

(See excerpt below) Why not define other affordable housing with similar specificity? Affordable units. (D For owner-occupied units, the affordable units shall be sold at a price not to exceed 3.3 times 80% of the median household income for Westchester County, as established annually by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. A covenant shall be recorded in the County Clerk's office, which shall provide that resale of any affordable housing units may not sell for a price exceeding 3.3 times 80% of the median household income for Westchester County, as established annually by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. (2) For rental units, the maximum monthly rent for the affordable units shall not exceed 30% times 80% of the median household income for Westchester County, as established annually by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, divided by 12 months.

I've lived in this village my entire life, for those newly elected trustees who don't know me. I'm a volunteer coach for the youth athletics, I graduated from Sleepy Hollow High School and I also umpire the little league softball games. I have been very involved in the sports programs for over 35 years, and I continue even after my children have gone on to college, become adults raising their own families, and moved out of the village. One of my oldest daughters, Cindy Brand Cuevas sent an email to your village board and police Chief a few days ago on behalf of my elderly parents (James and Henrietta Brand) regarding the noise, music and large groups in the parking lot of 100 College Avenue last Friday and Saturday night. She has yet to get a response from anyone. On the second night the noise was so bad, I called the police desk and requested an officer. I have lived in that area my entire life and I have never seen it so bad in this area. I felt like I was in a city borough like the Bronx. I know who was working that detail last weekend. It was the Liutenant. The activities were ignored. The noise could be heard all the way to Beekman Avenue. These types of crowds draw unwanted activities, visitors and violence. We just had an unfortunate death due to gun violence. Since the email was sent, I don't know if the police Chief has spoken to the officers about the recent complaints regarding the noise from lower Cortlandt Street and the activities in the 100 College Avenue parking lot, or if last night the officers working this weekend simply did it on their own? I want to recognize and say thank you to Sgt. Kmiotek, Officer Kelly and Officer Sosa. The three officers were on foot, walking up and down Cortlandt Street through out the evening last night (Friday). Their presence not only kept the music at a low level, but it kept the large groups from forming. Hopefully there will be more foot patrol and more officers working during a shift spending more time in the lower village out of their vehicles.

His comment does underscore the need for painted stop bars at all stop signs. Santo is also requesting another stop sign at the westbound lane ahead of the crosswalk there. This would create a more formal intersection "box" there.

Also, at the same intersection, I noticed that the visibility for the drivers turning left from Cortlandt onto Beekman Ave. Is impaired to see the vehicles approaching on Beekman Ave. In my opinion, I think a new stop sign on the westbound "in front of 95 Beekman Ave." Would serve to correct that safety issue. I think and sujest that additional to the stop sign that already exist in the corner of Cortlandt/Beekman Ave. to put and additional sign to request to all vehicle to always stop "full stop" before arriving to the zebra line at that corner. I hope my opinion to be a plus to this good idea toward improving in this great village of Sleepy Hollow. I have resided here for almost 30 years and this village is GREAT LIVE IN.
