Stephens and Kent House LLC, National Trust for Historic Preservation, County House Road and Bedford Road, Final subdivision plat approval- Presentation Chairperson Hsu stated that a request for adjournment was received from the applicant's attorney. 4. Hudson Valley Writers Center, Inc., Philipse Manor Railroad Station, 300 Riverside Drive, Subdivision, final plat- Presentation Kristin Pelatti is an associate from MarksDiPalermo representing the applicant. Ms. Pelatti stated that they are requesting the re-approval of the subdivision that was approved in 1995 because the subdivision plat was not properly filed with Westchester County. There are minor lot line adjustments based on the negotiations between the Writers Center and the MTA ("Metropolitan Transportation Authority"). The Writers Center Inc. acquired the property in 1993 from Penn Central and is subject to a 275 year lease held by the MTA. The MTA has agreed to quitclaim its interest in the property and give full interest to 300 Riverside Drive. They are working with Ward Carpenter Engineers, Inc. to develop the final subdivision plat. Ms. Pelatti requested that the Planning Board approve the subdivision with a condition that the subdivision plat will be submitted. Chairperson Hsu solicited guidance from Clinton Smith. Clinton Smith asked Kristin Pelatti if the final subdivision plat would be submitted before the January 21, 2020 meeting. Mr. Smith asked Ms. Pelatti to describe the minor revisions proposed on the subdivision plat. Donald Stever is the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Hudson Valley Writers Center, Inc. Mr. Stever stated that minor adjustments will be made to the subdivision plat to move the boundary lines that are along the MTA pedestrian platforms and stairs. The long term lease with the MTA expires on December 31, 2020. After December 31, 2020, the Writers Center will incur rent penalties as a holdover tenant. 3 (12/17/20) �David Smith stated that if the final subdivision plat is in conformance with the preliminary plat, a public hearing isn't required and the Planning Board can adopt the final plat by resolution. Clinton Smith stated that the application cannot be approved at this meeting and must be adjourned until the receipt of the final subdivision plat. Chairperson Hsu asked the applicant when it was determined that the final subdivision plat had not been filed with Westchester County and why the application was not submitted until recently. Donald Stever stated that it was determined last fall that the subdivision plat had not been properly filed with Westchester County and that negotiations have been ongoing with the MTA to get a deal in place. Motion was made to adjourn the application to the January 21, 2020 meeting and to prepare a draft resolution pending the receipt and approval of the final subdivision plat. Moved: Chairperson Hsu Seconded: Harries Vote 6-0 5. Conner and Elizabeth Ginley, 5 Evergreen Way, Single family residence Preliminary presentation Ralph Mastromonaco is the Engineer representing the applicant. Mr. Mastromonaco stated they the application proposes to construct a four bedroom house that is zoning compliant. There are some trees that are proposed for removal. They have received comments from James Natarelli and the comments regarding the proposed landscape plan. Mr. Mastromonaco stated that Connor Ginley is concerned that the existing trees in the backyard will pose a threat to the proposed home. Chairperson Hsu asked for details on reasoning for the removal of the mature trees. Ralph Mastromonaco stated that the existing trees are uphill from the proposed house and some of the trees will need to be removed in order to create the rear yard. The trees are above the elevation of the proposed house and would fall towards the house. Chairperson Hsu suggested that the applicant contract an arborist to review the conditions of the trees. Ralph Mastromonco stated that he will take a closer look at the trees proposed for removal. James Natarelli stated that the drainage system appears to look good. Test pits should be completed and witnessed by the Village prior to Building Permits being issued and this should be included as a condition on a future resolution. Mr. Natarelli stated he is confident that his other comments can be addressed by the applicant before the next meeting. Kersten Harries suggested that the applicant submit an application to the Tree Commission for the proposed tree removals. Ms. Harries stated that her concerns are related specifically to the (5) trees in the back yard that include large oak trees. 4 (12/17/20) �Motion was made to schedule a public hearing for the January 21, 2021 meeting. Moved: Harries Seconded: Andruss Vote 6-0 6. Sleepy Hollow Associates, LLC, 45-49 Beekman Avenue, Change of Use- Public hearing, Pending ZBA approval Kyle McGovern is an attorney from the law firm of Lyons McGovern LLP representing the applicant. Mr. McGovern stated that they received a unanimous approval for the requested variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The variance for the required landscape buffer was approved with a condition that requires the applicant to work with the Building Department on the installation of fencing along the rear of the parking lot adjacent to the neighboring multifamily residence. David Mooney is the architect representing the applicant. Mr. Mooney stated that they propose to clean out the four drainage structures that have been identified on the site. They intend to investigate how the drainage structures are designed to work and to find the best solution for increasing the viability of the systems. Mr. Mooney stated that there are four existing pole lighting structures on the sites and that they plan to replace the existing fixtures with LED lumineers. The recycling refuse area location is proposed to enable tenants to drop off their recycling ahead of time in a location near the sidewalk where it is picked up. Sidewalk repairs are planned for North Washington Street where the access to the new residential apartments will be created. Chairperson Hsu stated that comments were received from the Planning Board members during the work session and asked Kyle McGovern if he wanted to provide responses. Kyle McGovern stated that the Westchester County Planning Board's referral review mentioned the desire for affordable housing. This project is proposed for market value rate rentals and affordable housing rents is not intended for this business plan. Chairperson Hsu asked for a rental cost range for the units. Philip Adler is the owner of Sleepy Hollow Associates LLC and stated that he estimates the rental costs ranging from $1,700.00 to $2,700.00 per month and that he is not absolutely sure what the finishes will be but that they are targeting an affordable housing market rate not a luxury market rate. They do not want to be subject to rent regulations. Erin Carney asked if bicycle parking areas will be provided for the tenants. David Mooney stated that the basement storage areas in 47 and 49 Beekman Avenue are intended for tenant bicycle storage and will be accessible from the parking lot. Erin Carney suggested that the applicant work with the Village to tie in with the complete sustainable streets policy in relation to the streetscape improvements on Beekman Avenue. Ms. 5 (12/17/20) �Carney also suggested that the applicant investigate sustainable or green infrastructure features that might help reduce stormwater runoff. James Natarelli asked David Mooney when they anticipate to complete the investigations of the onsite drainage. David Mooney stated that hope to get a crew out after the first of the new year. Philip Adler stated that he is actively working to contract the removal of the organic debris and the full cleaning of the drains. James Natarelli stated that it would be helpful to see where the drains connect to and where they go. David Smith suggested that the applicant add tree wells along North Washington Street when the sidewalk improvements are being completed as part of the Village complete streets policy. David Mooney stated that they will work with the Sean McCarthy to coordinate the improvements on North Washington Street with the improvements planned for Beekman Avenue. Chairperson Hsu asked the applicant if they have reviewed the Village's complete street policy. David Mooney stated that he will reach out to Sean McCarthy to get a copy of the policy. Sean McCarthy stated that he will forward the Village complete street policy to David Mooney. Chairperson Hsu asked Sean McCarthy if he is comfortable moving forward with a resolution and if the outstanding items can be resolved with the Building Department and James Natarelli. Sean McCarthy stated that enough information has been presented for the Planning Board to direct that a draft resolution be prepared for the January meeting. This would give the applicant time to answer the outstanding questions and prepare the required documentation. Chairperson Hsu directed David Smith to prepare a draft resolution for the January 21, 2020 meeting. Motion was made to close public hearing. Moved: Chairperson Hsu Seconded: Andruss Vote 6-0 7. 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, pending ZBA approval 6 (12/17/20) �Andrew Tung is an associate with Divney Tung Schwalbe LLP representing the applicant. Mr. Tung stated that the variance to increase the height for the first three units closest to Legend Drive was approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mark P. Weingarten, Esq. is a partner in the law firm of Delbello Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr, LLP representing the applicant. Mr. Weingarten stated that there are requirement items on the draft resolution that they are not sure they can comply with. Mr. Weingarten read Chapter 450-17 of the Zoning Code for the Riverfront Development District and stated that that is was specifically discussed that the entire project would be looked at as one land area even knowing that eventually it would be subdivided. There are no legal requirement for setbacks between the particular blocks. The resolution seems to suggest that the plan is not compliant with the side and rear setback requirements and is more restrictive than what was required for BlockJ. Mr. Weingarten requested an explanation for the purpose of the requirements related to the rear and side setbacks. Mr. Weingarten stated that they may already be in compliance with the front yard setbacks. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Planning Board would like to see more delineation between the architectural features and the treatments of the fa9ades for the townhome units. Sean McCarthy stated that the proposed front and side yard setbacks are within a foot of what was approved for Block-J. The distance that is recommended between the townhome units is equal to or more than what currently exists and the applicant will not have a problem being in compliance. The purpose of the setback requirements is to provide enough space in the front and side yards to have the townhouses comply with what has been proposed in the Design Guidelines and the "Kit of Parts" so that the proper landscaped areas, patios, sidewalks, and the amenities that have been described in past documents can be accomplished. Peter Chavkin is the Managing Partner of Biddle Real Estate Ventures and questioned if the spaces are consistent with what has been completed in Block-J or are they intended to be more restrictive. Sean McCarthy stated that requirements are not more restrictive and it is not intended to establish setbacks as stated by Mark Weingarten. It is understood that the whole project is not subject to the bulk requirements but in moving forward with Block O/P, they were asked to analyze what has been completed in Block-J and to either specify the requirements or suggest modifications. The purpose of the setback requirements outlined in the resolution is to ensure consistency with plans moving forward. Peter Chavkin stated that they have concerns that the current site plan does not comply with some of the setback regulations. Mark Weingarten stated that they have no issues with the articulation of the front fa9ades and they agree to comply. They have no way of determining if they will be compliant with the condition requirements for the roof pergolas because it was never understood to be requirement and not calculated. 7 (12/17/20) �David Smith stated that the purpose of the condition requirements in the resolution is to allow the Planning Board to have a more active role in the design of the units and how they will relate to the public realm. Mark Weingarten stated that their goal was to expedite the approval of the twenty townhome units to take advantage of the current market conditions. Mr. Weingarten requested that the Planning Board delay the requirement discussions to the future units so that a resolution can be approved for the current application. Kersten Harries suggested that expediting the approval for the twenty units can also include that the applicant would be required to submit the designs for the architectural and fa9ade details for Planning Board approval. James FitzPatrick is the Division President of the New York Region for Toll Brothers Inc. and stated that what seems like minor modifications to a plan could result in the complete redesign of the townhomes. They are seeking to continue the momentum by utilizing the plans developed for the Block-J townhomes with some minor aesthetic changes to the exterior facades. This will allow them to have a model home to demonstrate and sell the twenty units efficiently. Chairperson Hsu asked James FitzPatrick if the required setbacks would cause the redesign of the townhome units. James FitzPatrick stated that the conditions required for the percentages of the enclosed/roof areas from the fourth floor to the floor below may require a redesign of the fourth floor and he is unable to confirm roof pergolas comply with the requirements on the draft resolution. Chairperson Hsu stated that the applicant team should take more time to compare the conditions on the draft resolution with their site plan. James FitzPatrick questioned if the specific metrics were included in the resolution because the Board is unhappy with what has already been constructed or are they arbitrary thresholds that were just established. If the conditions were inserted to ensure the consistency with what has been done, they are comfortable. Mark Weingarten suggested that the conditions remain on the resolution with an added condition that states that the applicant will utilize their best efforts to comply with the requirements for the proposed twenty units and then come back to the Architectural Review Board to show where they were able to comply and or provide explanations where conditions could not be met. Chairperson Hsu suggested that the applicant review the plans to determine if they are in compliance with the required conditions. Peter Chavkin stated that they are open to the spirit of the new language added to the resolution and they have no objection to the Planning Board wanting to play a bigger role in overseeing how the "Kit of Parts" gets implemented in their capacity as the Architectural Review Board. They embrace the conditions related to the mirrored facades and the architectural delineation 8 (12/17/20) �between the units. The issues related to the percentages and distance requirements are in conflict with the proposed site plan and what has been approved across the street. The timing of this approval is important to keep the sales momentum moving and to have a product to sell. Toll Brothers can't prepare or submit a condominium offer plan to the New York State Attorney General's Office until a site plan is approved. If the approval is delayed another month Toll Brothers Inc. may run out of units to sell. Kersten Harries asked James FitzPatrick if the conditions related to the fourth floor enclosure percentages and the roof pergolas are an issue because they are not consistent with what has already been built in Block-J. James FitzPatrick stated that Block-J may not have been consistent with those conditions and the issues related to the location of the meters at the front of the townhome. David Smith asked if approved site plan for the twenty units excluding the ARB components of the resolution would allow them to submit their offering plan to the Attorney Generals' Office. Mark Weingarten stated that the offering plan must reflect the floor plan. James FitzPatrick stated that without submitting a structural offering plan consistent with Phase I, they could potentially loose three to four months. David Smith stated that the variations in the building height and the fa9ades that were described in the initial application are not demonstrated in the plans. The Planning Board acting as the ARB has criteria that has to be addressed. Chairperson Hsu stated that it appears that the "Kit of Parts" is predetermined for the proposed twenty units and that the buyer will not have options. Peter Chavkin stated that the "Kit of Parts" options that will be offered to the buyer are preengineered structural options and have already been configured into the building construction elements. James FitzPatrick summarized the "Kit of Parts" layout options available to buyer and how they affect the building facades without changing the overall footprint of the structure. Chairperson Hsu asked James FitzPatrick why Con Edison requires that the meters and mechanical systems be located in the front of the units. James FitzPatrick stated that due to the dimension and configuration of the homes, Con-Edison requires certain off-set distances between the gas and electric meters locations and residence openings. To date, they have not lost a sale of a unit because of the location of the meters and they are not overwhelmingly visible in comparison to the massing of the buildings. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from Sean McCarthy on alternative solutions for the locations of the meters. 9 (12/17/20) �Sean McCarthy stated Con-Edison's requirements for the separations and clearances of the utility meters from openings limits the opportunities for the location of the meters. Toll Brothers Inc. has worked with the Village to move and lower meters to lessen the visual impact and has installed the meters on the sides of the end units. Andrew Tung stated the proposed Block OP site plans do not meet the requirements of condition numbers 7, 8, or 9 related to the setbacks. The proposed Block O/P buildings are similar to Block-J and are set back 5.0 feet from the back of the public sidewalk. The side yard for end units is approximately 5.0 feet. The distance between adjacent end units is 10.0 feet. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from Sean McCarthy. Sean McCarthy stated that when he verifies the setbacks for Block-J with the as-built surveys recently received, the setbacks on the existing survey shows Legend Drive is 5.89 feet and it is requested to be at 7.0 feet. The distance between the buildings 1-6 and 6-11 is over 15.0 feet. The cornet setback at Horseman Drive is almost 7.0 feet. The conditions included in the draft resolution were intended to set guidance moving forward. As an example the 5.89 feet setback at Legend Drive does not allow for the amenity space in the front of unit as it was depicted as an opportunity for a patio or a landscaped area. James FitzPatrick stated that is was determined in 2018 that the units along Legend Drive, Palisades Blvd., and the Washington Wall that would not be able to accommodate patios because of the setbacks and grade elevation conditions. Andrew Tung agreed that the minimum grade for the townhomes was 3.0 feet higher than the street grade in that area which was set based on the overall drainage. They were able to raise the grade at the interior drive units. Mr. Tung stated that he doesn't doubt that the measurements sited by Sean McCarthy, but that the spacing around Block-J is not consistent between all of the units. The spacing along Legend Drive may be 15.0 feet and the spacing along Palisades is 10.0 feet. Sean McCarthy stated that Andrew Tung is probably correct and that he referenced a survey he had available. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from Sean McCarthy regarding the roof pergolas. Sean McCarthy stated that calculations are based on the proposed application compared with asbuilt surveys. Mr. McCarthy stated the resolution condition number 5 is intended to establish a limitation so that the entire fourth floor will not become enclosed and provide a minimal outdoor space. The 70% limitation is reflected off a typical 20 x 42 size townhouse where there is currently a 10-12 foot minimum size outdoor space. The conditions for the roof pergolas coincide with the loft area coverage and it was determined that the typical pergola on the proposed plans is not open. The pergolas that were built in Block-J are mechanical and can be opened or closed. The condition reflects that typical construction of an open pergola and provides limitation for enclosed space. Mr. McCarthy stated that Toll Brothers has made 10 (12/17/20) �modifications to improve the locations and the screening of the air conditioning compressors that reduce the visibility and noise for residents. Chairperson Hsu stated that although they want to support the continuation of the sales momentum, the Board feels that adding the language to the resolution will set specific guidance so that the future townhomes will be better than what was built in Block-J. Chairperson Hsu asked James FitzPatrick to provide an overview of the sales to date. James FitzPatrick shared an illustration and provided a summary of the units that have been sold, are in contract for sale, units that are still available, and units that are under construction. Chairperson Hsu suggested that Edge-on-Hudson Toll Brothers provide the updated sales information and milestone trigger timelines to the Planning Board and the Board of Trustees. Sandra Spiro is a member of the Board of Trustees and questioned what if they envision now will be alignment with the timing they are asking for. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Board is not intentionally stalling the progress of the application. The Planning Board would like to have input on the architectural aspects of the buildings. The applicant requires time to review the requirements of the draft resolution. Mark Weingarten requested that approval be given tonight with an amendment to the resolution stating that the applicant will give their best efforts to comply with the requirements for the proposed twenty units and then come back to the Architectural Review Board to show where they were able to comply and or provide explanations where conditions could not be met. They would happy to present progress updates on the milestones to the Village Board and the Planning Board but that it does not impact this application going forward. Sandra Spiro questioned if the two could be aligned at the same time or if one can proceed without the other. The applicant has been keeping the Board of Trustees up to date. Ms. Spiro stated that what Chairperson Hsu is asking is how all the things are connected and that if the Village Board is paying attention and if it is something the applicant wants to put in place before making a final decision. Mark Weingarten asked if the milestones refer to the payments that are required per units that obtain Certificates of Occupancy. Chairperson Hsu stated that she is referring to the payments to the Village. Mark Weingarten stated that they are current in their payments to the Village and happy to provide an updated memo to the both Boards and they are not near the number yet. Chairperson Hsu stated there are concerns about reaching the numbers and that with the residential units being eliminated from Block-A there will be delays getting to the next milestone. 11 (12/17/20) �Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from Clinton Smith. Clinton Smith stated that the Board is imposing conditions that were not material until today and the applicant is requesting an approved resolution as quickly as possible. Mr. Smith stated that he doesn't see Mr. Weingarten's request problematic but that he doesn't know if the Planning Board wishes to impose standards to control the development as opposed to guiding the development. The current resolution would impose standards that would structure the development. Chairperson Hsu stated that her preference is for the applicant to study the requirements that were included on the resolution and present for approval at the January 21, 2021 meeting. Chairperson Hsu stated that she will work with the Board of Trustees to meet with the applicant to review the overall Block O/P and the proposed changes to Block-A as it relates to the Riverfront Design Concept Plan and the milestones that would trigger payments to the Village. David Smith stated that the Board has scheduled additional meetings in the past for the Edge-onHudson projects. Chairperson Hsu directed the Building Department to schedule a special meeting on Thursday, January 7, 2021 for the Block O/P application. Sandra Spiro stated that she will schedule a work session with the Board of Trustees prior to the January 7, 2021 Planning Board meeting. Mark Weingarten stated that the applicant will prepare responses to the conditions on the draft resolution for the January 7, 2021 meeting. Clinton Smith questioned if the applicant has concerns regarding the sixty day time limit for the approval of the resolution. Mark Weingarten stated that the applicant is not concerned with the time constrictions for the approval of the resolution. 8. Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, 199 Beekman Avenue, Block-A proposed retail space, Site plan approval- Public hearing Motion was made to open the public hearing. Moved: Chairperson Hsu Seconded: Krakauer Vote 6-0 Andrew Tung is an associate with Divney Tung Schwalbe LLP representing the applicant. Mr. Tung provided a summary of the application. Mr. Tung stated that they submitted a supplemental submission to address the engineering concerns received from Woodard & Curran. The revisions include a stairway along Beekman Avenue opposite Hudson Street to provide access to the DeCicco's parking lot level for entry to the retail spaces. Bicycle racks have been added under the covered pass way. Landscaping has been added within and surrounding the parking area to complement the streetscape. Additional comments have been received since their 12 (12/17/20) �last submission from Woodard & Curran and David Smith. They are working on addressing the comments that will be submitted for the next meeting. Updates have been made to the architectural and perspective drawings. Lucio DiLeo is the Principle of Studio Rai, representing the DeCicco & Sons Market. Mr. DiLeo shared renderings of the proposed buildings from different perspective views from the site including the locations of the stairway and bicycle racks. Mr. DiLeo stated that further detailed renderings will be ready for submission at the next meeting. Peter Chavkin stated that the renderings do not depict the full detail of the site plans. Chairperson Hsu stated that she appreciates that the applicant has incorporated the Board's comments into the plans. Erin Carney suggested that additional bicycle racks be included for the employees of the retail spaces. Lucio DiLeo stated that Andrew Tung is researching the opportunities to add additional bicycle racks on the site. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from Woodard & Curran. Anthony Catalano is the consulting engineer from Woodard & Curran and stated that they have been coordinating with the applicants engineer to address their concerns related to stormwater capacity, utility information, the sanitary sewer report, and additional information on the water demands. Chairperson Hsu questioned where the applicant will make up for the residential units originally proposed in Block-A as part of the Riverfront Concept Development Plan. Peter Chavkin stated that the rental units that were originally contemplated in Block-A were redistributed with increases in the unit counts for the 188 rental units in Block-I and the 246 rental units in Block-F. Chairsperson Hsu stated that if the 123 apartments units were made up in part in Block-I and Block-F, how will they reallocate for the condominiums originally proposed in Block-A. Peter Chavkin stated that he doesn't recall there being condominiums originally proposed in Block-A. Every block has varied from the original RDCP. They will prepare a detailed comparison for the next meeting to detail where unit counts have been reallocated. Chairperson Hsu agreed that the applicant should prepare the comparison of the differences between the RDCP and what has been built and proposed so that it may be reviewed by the Planning Board and the Board of Trustees. Chairperson Hsu asked if there are any updates for possible tenants for the other Block-A retail spaces. 13 (12/17/20) �Peter Chavkin stated that the tenants for the other retail spaces are still pending. Clinton Smith asked Peter Chavkin is DeCicco's is planning on purchasing the north retail building. Peter Chavkin stated that DeCicco's will own the market retail building and the pharmacy. Lighthouse Landing Communities will own the second half of the market retail building and the north retail building. Clinton Smith stated that they will need to submit an application for a subdivision. Peter Chavkin stated that Clinton Smith is correct and that they will submit a subdivision plan. Mark Weingarten stated that there will be a separation of ownership required but that it may be in the form of a commercial condo and not require a subdivision approval. Chairperson Hsu questioned when the applicant could clarify the form of the other retail spaces. Peter Chavkin stated that they commit to having a decision by the regular scheduled January meeting. Chairperson Hsu solicited comments from the public. There were no comments from the public. Motion was made to adjourn the public hearing to the January 21, 2021 meeting. Moved: Chairperson Hsu Seconded: McCarthy Vote 6-0 Tom Andruss questioned when the jitney will be in service based on the condition of the 100th Certificate of Occupancy being granted. Sean McCarthy stated that he estimates it will be another year before the 100th Certificate of Occupancy will be issued. Nine Certificates of Occupancy have been issued to date. Each individual townhome, condominium unit, and apartment unit will receive a Certificate of Occupancy. Tom Andruss questioned where the drop off and pick up for the jitney services will be commissioned for Block-A. Chairperson Hsu agreed that the jitney route is a good subject for the Board of Trustees to discuss. Eric Carney suggested that the designs be considered for the jitney services route locations. 9.
