Residents could not attend in person due to the COVID19 pandemic, but could participate by phone and video conferencing. The Board and the applicants participated by videoconferencing. Present: Marjorie Hsu, Chairperson Erin Carney Kersten Harries Tom Andruss Ed McCarthy Lindsay Krakauer Matthew Brennan Also Present: Clinton Smith, Village Attorney David Smith, Village Planner Anthony Catalano, Consulting Engineer Sean McCarthy, Village Architect Absent: Pamela Kroll, Secretary to the Planning Board Agenda: 1) Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, 199 Beekman Avenue, Phase III, preliminary subdivision plat and Block O/P partial site plan approval - Draft resolution 1. Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, 199 Beekman Avenue, Phase III, preliminary subdivision plat and Block O/P partial site plan approval - Draft resolution David Smith stated that a revised resolution has been circulated to the Planning Board and the applicants' team. Comments have been received from the applicant. David Smith read the conditions of the draft resolution and solicited the applicant to add comments as needed. Clinton Smith asked David Smith if Townhome One will be the defined term name for this application. David Smith stated that Townhome One is a defined term used on the resolution. 1 (1/7/21) �David Smith stated that the applicant requested that the language be revised for the second condition of the resolution stating that subsequent submissions for townhome development mirrored facades shall be only permitted with a vertical delineation. Sean McCarthy stated that the Village doesn't want to prohibit the ability for the applicant to mirror the designs of the townhomes, but there should be a clear vertical delineation or separation in the architectural materials between the townhome units. There was a discussion on the process for approving the architectural facades for subsequent townhome unit designs as it relates to the role of the Planning Board acting as the Architectural Review Board Kersten Harries asked Peter Chavkin if mirrored facades could be avoided. Peter Chavkin is the Managing Partner of Biddle Real Estate Ventures and stated that mirrored facades could be avoided but the use of mirrored facades with vertical separation provides an elegant architectural tool in the development. Andrew Tung is an associate with Divney Tung Schwalbe LLP representing the applicant. Mr. Tung shared an illustration and explained where the high visibility units, referenced in resolution condition number 6, will be located. The Planning Board, consultants, and the Village Architect discussed and agreed to the revised language for the resolution condition numbers two, five, and six. There was a discussion on condition number seven and how it relates to the initial 2015 site plan documents and presentation. Peter Chavkin stated that site plan amendment applications were submitted by Toll Brothers and approved by the Planning Board in 2018 which detailed grading issues and flood map concerns that eliminated the capability to accommodate private patio options for certain townhome units. James FitzPatrick is the Division President of the New York Region for Toll Brothers Inc. and stated that elevation changes prevented options for patios for certain units in Block-J. Mr. FitzPatrick stated that structural suggestions provided by Sean McCarthy are being considered that would allow for patio spaces and still retain the 5-foot front yard setback. Mark Weingarten is a partner in the law firm of Delbello Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr, LLP representing the applicant and stated that they have requested that the front yard setback language be revised to 5 feet to allow for instances where the 7-foot front yard setback cannot be accomplished. Mr. Weingarten stated that they will utilize best efforts to accommodate for patios where appropriate and that they will provide site plans for the Planning Board to review. Chairperson Hsu questioned whether it is the vertical elevation height of the structure or the front yard setback that prevents the options for patio areas. 2 (1/7/21) �James FitzPatrick shared an illustration and described the intentions of the designs for the front patio spaces and the concerns related to the flood elevations at certain unit locations. Allowing the change from a 7-foot front yard setback to a 5-foot front yard setback will allow Toll Brothers Inc. to continue using their current architectural drawings without substantial revisions to the unit designs. Mr. FitzPatrick stated that the front patio areas will be accommodated in the design of the balance of the O/P townhomes. Peter Chavkin stated that they will address the desire for ground level patios on the street level facing units with new architectural designs for the balance of the Block O/P townhome units. They agree to explore Sean McCarthy's suggestions for the proposed twenty units but request to keep the front yard setback at 5 feet. The Planning Board, consultants, the Village Architect, and the applicants discussed and agreed to the revised resolution language of condition number seven. David Smith stated that condition number 13 relates to utility meter locations. The development at Ichabod's Landing incorporated the meters within each of the units. James FitzPatrick stated that they have no issues with complying with the condition for the mechanical and electrical meters however, Con Edison no longer allows for gas meters to be located inside the buildings unless a conditional waiver is granted. Sean McCarthy stated that Toll Brothers has worked out the locations for the mechanical equipment and electrical meters. They have relocated gas meters on the end units, and have been researching splitting the buildings so that they have more opportunities for screening in the alleyways. Mr. McCarthy stated that the applicants should make their best efforts to explore recessing the gas meters in compliance with Con Edison specs and with their current plans. Chairperson Hsu stated that the location of the gas meters will be managed by Sean McCarthy and the Building Department. The Planning Board, consultants, Village Architect, and the applicants discussed and agreed to revised resolution language for condition number thirteen. The Planning Board, consultants, and the Village Architect agreed to the revised resolution language for condition numbers eight, nine, eleven and fourteen. The Planning Board, the consultants, and the application agreed to revised language for the first "Whereas" clause of the resolution. Chairperson Hsu called the meeting to order at 7:30 PM. Chairperson Hsu stated that all the Planning Board members are in attendance and read the agenda.
