Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Edge-on-Hudson Riverfront Development, 199 Beekman Avenue, Phase I- waterfront open space site plan and wetlands permit approval - Preliminary presentation Andrew Tung is an associate of Divney Tung Schwalbe LLP representing the applicant. Mr. Tung stated that the waterfront open space has been divided into three areas based on the views from the spaces. The Promenade faces south; the Overlook faces south and west, and the 3 (6/18/20) �Palisade Green faces out towards the west. The designs of the spaces have been created in conjunction with the incorporated goals of the Village Public Space Committee. Lanie McKinnon is a Landscape Architect from Nelson Byrd Woltz representing the applicant. Ms. McKinnon shared the illustrative Promenade and Overlook site plan. Ms. McKinnon stated that the Promenade will run along Westward Drive up to Palisades Boulevard and will be comprised of four components. The components will consist of a path network that will weave throughout; a series of plazas intended for gatherings, two lawns at the ends of each street, and two planting areas. The Overlook provides views of the Mario Cuomo Bridge, the Manhattan skyline, the ends of the Palisades, and Hook Mountain. The Overlook will contain an amphitheater style seating area for small gatherings. Ms. McKinnon shared illustrations and described the proposed materials that will be used for the hardscape surfaces and the green soft surfaces and how they will be incorporated into the Promenade and Overlook areas. Ms. McKinnon shared illustrations and described the proposed lighting fixtures for the Promenade and Overlook areas. Andrew Tung stated that the waterfront open space was designed based on the Special Permit approval, the Riverfront Concept Development Plan, and the Design Guidelines approved by the Village. Mr. Tung stated that as part of the Special Permit approved in 2011, it was agreed that the waterfront open space would be available to the public at the same time that Certificates of Occupancy were issued for the adjacent design block. The waterfront open space will be completed in two phases. There is a temporary walkway that extends along the riverfront that connects Ichabod's Landing with the Lighthouse. Mr. Tung stated that as part of the approved Riverfront Concept Development Plan and the Special Permit approval, the in-water elements of the fishing pier near Ichabod's Landing boundary and the dock and dine pier will require approvals from the Department of Environmental Conservation, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Village, and are planned to coincide with the waterfront open space construction without holding up the progress of the land construction areas. Tom Andruss asked if trash bins will be provided and collected by the Village and if snow removal will be considered along the pathways. He suggested that the number of lighting bollards be reduced. Mr. Andruss asked if signage is proposed within the public spaces to detail permitted and restricted uses. Sean McCarthy stated that garbage and recycle bins have been considered in the plans but snow removal for the paths has not be addressed. Lanie McKinnon stated that they will review the lighting plan and consider reductions. Peter Chavkin stated they will consider way-finding signage for the spaces but posting of regulations will be decided by the Board of Trustees upon taking ownership of the waterfront open spaces. Sean McCarthy stated that as per the County River Walk System, there is a standard signage design that will need to be incorporated into the plans to connect the waterfront open space. 4 (6/18/20) �Erin Carney asked if there will be water fountains provided for pedestrians visiting the waterfront open space. Lanie McKinnon stated that there are drinking fountains included in the submitted site plan. Kersten Harries asked for the estimated completion times for the Phase I waterfront open space, the Village Green, and the Palisades Green. Peter Chavkin stated that the work for the Village Green is nearly complete. They anticipate starting the dedication process with the Village Board for the first two sections of the Tappan Zee Park, the Village Green, and the Phase I streets. The Hudson Plaza will be led by the Village through a grant received from Tappan Zee Contractors through New York State. The Phase I waterfront open space project will take two to three planting seasons or 12 to 18 months to finish it entirely, depending on the start date. Mr. Chavkin stated that he is unable to estimate a time frame for the Palisades Green as they will have to get through the Village approval process as well as resolve funding issues. Chairperson Hsu stated that the application will be referred to the Board of Trustees for the oversite of the Special Permit. Chairperson Hsu requested a model to detail the operating and maintenance costs that would be incorporated in the Village expenses for the waterfront open spaces. Peter Chavkin stated that an operations and maintenance memorandum was shared with the Public Space Committee to detail how the waterfront spaces should be maintained and the estimated costs associated with the maintenance. He will share it will the Planning Board and the Village Board. Kersten Harries asked what is proposed to keep the edge along the river and rip rap safe and secure. Peter Chavkin stated that as part of the environmental approval in the early 2000s, there were two areas that were identified as needing repairs. A study was completed to evaluate the conditions of the river edge and it was identified that there are some areas in need of repair at the rip rap. They will submit this study to the Planning Board and the Board of Trustees. Mr. Chavkin stated that they will address these repairs in conjunction with the application submitted for the in-water structures. Mr. Chavkin stated that comments were submitted by the Village Planner and the Consulting Engineer suggesting that fencing, railing, or some sort of protective barrier be installed between the waterfront open space and the rip rap. Mr. Chavkin stated that the first objective for the waterfront open space, outlined by the Public Space Committee, and stated by Mayor Wray, was that there should not be a barrier and not to keep people away from the water. Mr. Chavkin stated that they did not include barriers as per the request of the Mayor. Mr. Chavkin requested that the Planning Board schedule a public hearing for the July meeting. 5 (6/18/20) �Chairperson Hsu asked Anthony Catalano and Sean McCarthy if there were any issues with scheduling a public hearing for the July 16, 2020 meeting. Anthony Catalano stated that their engineering review included extensive comments related to concerns of storm water management, potential safety hazards, emergency access, and soil quality that need to be addressed. If they can be addressed before the July 16, 2020 meeting it would be helpful. It is up to the Planning Board to decide if they want to schedule the public hearing with open comments. David Smith stated that the applicant provided a design detail that will allow the public to understand the Phase I waterfront open space. The decision to schedule the public hearing is up to the Planning Board. Discussion ensued on the approvals needed in order to file for the in-water structures of the Phase I waterfront space.
