Vote 4-0

Steve Feinstein is the attorney representing Roy and Joan Behren and stated that he is not only
their attorney for many years but also their friends and believes they will be wonderful neighbors
to the community.
Craig Flaherty is the Project Engineer from Redniss &amp; Mead. He stated that they have presented
to the Plarming Board three times and have submitted supplemental information for the

�application. Mr. Flaherty summarized the details of the Zoning compliance calculations in
relation to the lot size, floor area ratio, wetlands, and the storm water plan.
Gary Chase is the Project Architect from Vita Design Group. He summarized the proposed
architectural layout of the proposed one-family residence. Mr. Chase stated that the proposed
modem home is very much in keeping the neighborhood and allows them to celebrate diversity
with a play on materials. Mr. Chase presented the materials proposed to be used on the exterior
fa9ade including the concrete block, wood panels, windows, and the exterior trim details.
Abigail Adams is a Registered Landscape Architect from A2 Land Consulting, LLC. She
presented the plan for the exterior space. Ms. Adams described the plan for the driveway access,
access through the house to the outside terrace and living area with use of the existing elevations.
Ms. Adams stated that the plan was to use some of the existing boulders as retainage along the
rear of the property with construction of a small wall at the lawn area. Ms. Adams explained that
the higher portion of the property will be an undeveloped vegetated buffer and is where the
drainage system will daylight and help for water quality. Ms. Adams presented the planting plan
and stated that (13) trees are proposed to be removed as required for the construction of the
driveway and the home, and (16) trees are proposed to be planted including (7) evergreens and
(9) deciduous trees consisting of a combination of native Maples, Sweet Gum and Oak. Ms.
Adams stated that grasses, perennials and native shrubbery are also included in the planting plan.
Ms. Adams presented the lighting plan that shows photometric and is compliant with having zero
foot candles at the property line.
Steve Feinstein stated that since it is a public hearing, they are ready to answer any questions
from the Board and the public.
Deputy Chairman Swartz solicited comments from the Board.
Deputy Chairman Swartz stated that he thinks it would helpful to show the public examples of
the comparisons submitted of other residences in the neighborhood. Mr. Swartz stated there
should be more discussion on the history of the tree situation, specifically the trees that are being
proposed to be planted on the property and the trees that were taken off the property.
Craig Flaherty explained that an analysis of the tax cards was completed to address how the size
of the proposed house compared with the neighborhood. Mr. Flaherty referenced three locations
near 15 Pokahoe Drive that were similar in scale or larger than the proposed residence. Mr.
Flaherty stated that the residence located at 32 Hemlock Drive has a total building area of 5,525
square feet and a living area of the first and second floor of 4,594 square feet. The residence
located at 7 Pokahoe Drive has a total building area of 9,596 square feet and a living area of
5,652 square feet on the first and second floor as well a full basement that is not included in the
living area. The residence located at 9 Pokahoe Drive has a total building area of 9,733 square
feet and a living area of 5,313 square feet.

�Craig Flaherty presented the grade plan calculation for 21 Pokahoe Drive as an example to show
where the back lower walkout level was counted in the floor area as is more exposed verses the
proposed plan at 15 Pokahoe Drive.
Gary Chase expressed that keeping in the character and individuality of the neighborhood. He
stated every homeowner brings his or her own style to the home and that's what enables the
celebration of diversity.
Steve Feinstein addressed the Board. He explained that the contractor removed 18 trees without
permission or a permit when the property was purchased. After the violation was issued, he
represented the Behrens and met with the Tree Commission and prosecutor to go over how many
trees were over or fewer than eight inches in diameter. The issue was resolved in court and a
fine was paid. The Board was notified of the trees removed and they were included in the
calculations of tree removals.
Deputy Chairman Swartz questioned how many trees, in addition to the 18 trees cut down
without permission, are proposed to be removed.
Abigail Adams stated that 31 trees were proposed for removal including the 18 that were cut
down previously.
Deputy Chairman Swartz stated that under the tree ordinance, every tree removed has to be
replaced with two trees.
Steve Feinstein stated he understood the ordinance but that the appropriateness to put that many
trees on a site that cannot accommodate them should be open for discussion.
Deputy Chairman Swartz stated that his intent was to ensure that the public understands the
landscape plan in terms of the sizes of the trees proposed for removal, trees to be replaced and
that some of the larger trees require approval from the tree commission.
Abigail Adams stated that 12 of the 18 trees removed were 8 inches in diameter or less or within
the 10 foot barrier area therefore only 6 of the 18 trees removed would have required a permit.
She stated that 3 trees are located where the house is going to go and that only 10 trees would
require a permit for removal.
Abigail Adams stated that they have an updated exhibit that gives a clear indication of what trees
were previously removed, what trees required a permit to remove, and what trees did not
required a permit.
Deputy Chairman Swartz asked if any big trees, planned to be removed, are outside the 10 foot
barrier.
Abigail Adams stated that there are large trees proposed to be removed ranging from 8-9 inches
in diameter or above in diameter that require a permit and includes a large 40 inch diameter Oak
that is the development area in terms of the landscaping plan to create the outdoor space. Ten of

�the trees being removed require a permit. The plan proposes to replace 16 trees in lieu of the 20
trees required by the two-to-one requirement. The proposed deciduous trees will have a 2-2 '/a
inch caliper and will range from 12 to 15 feet in height when installed. The species chosen are
relatively fast growing. The proposed Maples and Sweet Gums will grow 2-3 feet the first year
and 4-5 feet each year. The proposed evergreens will range from 6-8 feet in height when
installed. Ms. Adams described where the trees are proposed to be planted on the property and
stated that when there are too many trees in one location it becomes an unhealthy situation.
Kersten Harries requested clarification of the removals of the 48 inch diameter Oak in the front
of the house and trees outside of the 10 foot line in the proposed patio area including, a 23 inch
diameter tree, a 40 inch diameter tree, a 44 inch diameter tree, and a 12 inch diameter tree.
Abigail Adams stated that the existing driveway is over 45 percent of the root system of the 48
inch diameter Oak tree and the Oak is sitting a little higher than the driveway. Up to 90 percent
of the root system is located within the first 20-24 inches below the ground. Proposed excavating
will need to be 12-16 inches to remove the driveway material. Ms. Adams stated that she has
consulted with an arborist who stated that 30-40 percent of the root system would be destroyed
by the excavation of the existing driveway. A retaining wall is needed to get from the upper
levels to lower levels and the majority of the root systems of the 44 inch diameter, 40 inch
diameter and the 20 inch diameter Oak trees are within the 10 feet building envelope. In order for
construction, it will be required to go 10-12 feet outside the box to be able to construct the
footings for the home.
Deputy Chairman Swartz requested that Sean McCarthy summarize the three communications
from residents of Sleepy Hollow.
Sean McCarthy stated that the Board is in receipt of an email from Daniel Wolins and Helena
Day, who reside at 10 Pokahoe Drive, which stated that they reviewed the construction plans and
the architectural plans and are in favor of the application. A letter from Robert &amp; Anne
Sorrentino, who reside at 23 Pokahoe Drive, also expressed satisfaction with the application and
are in favor of the project. The third correspondence is from Matthew Brennan, who resides at 53
Fremont Road. Mr. Brenan expressed his concerns about the size of the house as well as design
of the house and how it will fit in with the surrounding neighborhood. His bigger concern was
the clear cutting of the site and the amount of small bushes and saplings that would replace old
growth trees. Mr. Brennan states that the old growth trees are a distinguishing feature of the
Sleepy Hollow Manor neighborhood and that the trees add value to the neighborhood as well as a
source of property value. Mr. Brennan requested that the applicants and their advisors rethink
the design of the house so that the old growth trees can be preserved and remain a central part of
the neighborhood.
Deputy Chairman Swartz solicited comments from the public.
Josh Hall lives at 12 Pokahoe Drive and stated that he lives directly across the street from 15
Pokahoe Drive. Mr. Hall asked what was the existing set back on the south side of the proposed
construction.

�Craig Flaherty stated that the existing set back on the south side is 31 feet.
Josh Hall asked for the current height of the existing house.
Gary Chase estimated the height of the mid-point of the roof to be 18 feet and 22 feet at the peak
of the roof The flat roof section at the center of the proposed house is about 22 Vi feet.
Josh Hall stated the proposed house will reduce his view by 17 feet and requests that the setbacks
be reconsidered.
Alfred Strasser lives at 17 Pokahoe Drive and requested that there be a limit on the full size of
the plants or trees planted on the south side since the height could block his views,
Abigail Adams asked for clarification that he is requesting that shorter trees rather than larger
trees be planted. She stated that the 42 inch diameter Oak is staying and that they are proposing
Viburnums that get approximately 12 feet high, and the "Green Giant" Arborvitaes that get
about 50 feet high and will be in-line with the house.
Mr. Strasser stated the proposed trees would block his view and that he would object to the 50
foot trees, but that he is fine with the 12 foot trees being planted.
John Dauer lives at 8 Pokahoe Drive. Mr. Dauer stated that 7 Pokahoe Drive sits by itself and is
unique to the neighborhood and not really indicative of the neighborhood. The houses built in
the twenties and fifties were in general smaller modest size houses. The houses built by Kennedy
at 9 Pokahoe Drive and 32 Hemlock Drive are in the 5,000 square foot range and were not
indicative because they arrived due to a court settlement and if counted out, the remaining
homes range from 2,000 to 4,000 square feet. He understands that they want to maximize their
views of the river from all parts of the house, however in maximizing their views, the views of
the neighbors and others walking down the street as part of the River Walk are ruined. He
compared the homes that have been recently renovated and those who will probably renovate in
the fiiture and stated that if the 12 foot set back to the side lines is allowed to all the houses, you
will wind up with a wall along Pokahoe Drive. He stated that the larger house referenced and the
proposed house at 15 Pokahoe Drive will be of a different class and price point from the other
homes in the neighborhood, and doesn't believe it will increase his property value. Mr. Dauer
stated that he doesn't have problems with the height, just the width. He stated that he believes
the old trees should come down because they are old and dying and he will be taking his trees
down soon too.
Lori Wilson Strasser lives at 17 Pokahoe Drive. She stated her concerns about the planting of
the Arborvitae because they are very fast going trees and will be high in the 12 foot small area to
the right of them, and that they will wind up with no views of the river.
Deputy Chairman Swartz stated the public hearing will be continued till the May meeting
because there are a number of issues that are still open. There are only four members of the
Planning Board present and the vote would have to have a universal vote to move forward.

�Steve Feinstein questioned what specific issues need to be addressed.
Deputy Chairman Swartz stated that based on what was heard tonight, the landscape plan has to
be looked at in terms of the views and creating a gated type of community. They would like the
Tree Commission to weigh in on their view and perhaps have a dialog between an Arborist and
the Commission and that they should both have representatives present at the next meeting.
Steve Feinstein stated that the dialog has been ongoing.
Steve Feinstein asked for confirmation that Matthew Brennan is a Board member and stated that
the letter he submitted makes his opinion known and will not change the majority of the Board at
the next hearing.
Deputy Chairman Swartz stated that there is a Board of seven members and that whether or not
Mr. Brennan agrees or disagrees with the resolution decided by the Tree Commission and the
Arborists, it will go a long way to get the consensus between the two parties on how to proceed.
Steve Feinstein stated that they would like to close the public hearing at the next meeting.
Motion was made to continue the public hearing to the May 17,2018 meeting.
Moved: DelVecchio
Seconded: McCarthy

and the public. Mark Blanchard presented the application and site plan and stated that no changes
are being made to the structure and that they are before the Board to change permissible use. The

Seconded: DelVecchio

Vote 4-0

Deputy Chairman Swartz solicited comments from the public.
James Natarelli asked if there are floor drains in the garage now.
Mark Blanchard stated that he did not look personally but that he was told that there are no floor
drains and that they are up to Code. It was discussed as to whether or not the installation of an oil
water separator was appropriate in the garage. Mr. Blanchard stated that there would not be any
additional petroleum storage with the parking and that this would allow them to remain within
Code compliance. If this became an issue with the Building Department and permit approvals,
they are willing to have it be a condition of the approval if required.

�James Natarelli made a recommendation that if there is a floor drain in the garage, it should be
inspected as to where the drain is and that it is connected to the proper Village system. If the
drain does exist, an oil water separator should be installed with it.
Kersten Harries requested clarification of the current use.
Mark Blanchard explained the retail uses on Cortlandt Street and the one residential (1) bedroom
apartment would remain the same. The proposed office space above the garage would fit in with
the general office allowed C2 use. There is access to usable space above the two garage parking
spots in which they would create a small office space.
Kersten Harries requested confirmation of the two existing commercial units on Cortlandt Street,
one residential unit above on Cortlandt Street and the detached garage that opens out to Chestnut
Street. She asked if the garage was currently used as the parking for the units on Cortlandt
Street.
Mark Blanchard stated that the garage space has been unused for a long time. Mr. Jeffers is in
contract to purchase the property if he can make sure that he can utilize the detached garage for
the storage of vehicles and permitted to make the office space.
Deputy Chairman Swartz expressed his concerns about the area being congested and that they
will utilize extra commercial parking spaces for the office; and that they will not utilize the
garage space to put the cars in when picking of the vans.
Mark Blanchard stated they would agree to the condition that cars would have to be kept in the
garage during the work day as to not exasperate additional commercial parking spaces. Many of
the workforce are also local residents and may walk to pick up the vans.
Deputy Chairman Swartz stated that no one has seen the inside of the office space.
Mark Blanchard said that only the square footage calculations were completed and that they
would work with Sean at the Building Department and address as an internal rehab in order to
get a permit.
Wayne Jeffers Jr. is the applicant under contract to purchase the property at 188 Cortlandt
Street. Mr. Jeffers stated that he is the owner of Barrier Contracting an environmental business
and described that part of the business is oil tanks and part of the business is underground survey
work. He stated that only hand tools are proposed to be stored in the garage. He pointed out that
the parking is the area is metered and that his employees would be unable to take up the spots for
an eight hour work day since there are limits on parking. He believes there will be no issues with
switching cars for the work vans. He explained that he is on a personal time crunch for moving
his home office along with a crunch with the seller.
Deputy Chairman Swartz suggested that an interim conversation be held with the Building
Department to be sure everyone is on the same page. Upon the Building Department confirming

�there are no issues, they can then prepare a resolution that may allow them to close the public
hearing next month and approve the resolution at the next meeting.
Clinton Smith asked how many vehicles would be parked in the garage space.
Mark Blanchard stated that code would state two vehicles are allowed but that although only two
work vehicles could be stored overnight, they could probably fit more than two personal vehicles
during the day inside.
Clinton Smith asked if the proposed garage office space would be closed or open.
Mark Blanchard replied that it is closed off structurally fi"om the outside but open fi-om the
garage interior space.
Clinton Smith requested a parking plan and description of the office space be submitted.
Mark Blanchard asked for confirmation that the Board will be looking for the drainage, parking
and the office space items to be clarified for the next meeting in order to get approval.
Motion was made to continue the public hearing to the May 17,2018 meeting.

approved Site Plan for the four-story apartment complex of 188 units to include a swimming
pool, outdoor space, and expanded amenity area.
David Smith requested that an elevation and material plan be submitted for the fencing that will
be seen from the public street. He requested that a utility plan be submitted for locations of
transformers and switches.
Deputy Chairman Swartz asked Sean McCarthy to elaborate on the utilities that are sticking out.
Sean McCarthy stated that this information falls under the Phase I Site Plan application and
includes the utility companies switches and transformers relocated during the process, and that
they are working with the developer awaiting a coordinated utility plan to reflect where the
utility gear is going and how it will be treated by way of landscaping or permanent structures.
James Natarelli asked for confirmation of the receipt of the April 13, 2018 memo fi-om Dolph
Rotfeld Engineering, P.C. He stated it would be helpfiil for the Board to see cross sections of the
transition grade from the edge of the pavement to the sidewalk. Access to the train tracks fi"om
the site has to be addressed and coordinated with the Fire Department.

�Ed McCarthy acknowledged the indication of the parking spaces but asked if the landscape plan
would come later.

5. Lighthouse Landing Communities, LLC, Phase II Infrastructure site plan- Presentation
Mike Junghans is with Kimley Horn Engineering in White Plains. He stated that he was joined
with representatives of Lighthouse Landing Communities along with Nicole Emmons from Hart
Howerton. New pavements are proposed as an extension to Phase I to the north of Horseman's
Drive as well as Westwood Drive along the river and at Lighthouse Landing Drive extending to
the center. Providing an infrastructure plan gives a basis to be able to construct Phase II in the
future. The plan includes roadways to the back of the sidewalk and all the utilities within the
roadways. There will be no work completed within the areas of the buildings. The site will only
be graded and left flat. Changes to the roadways will include widening the travel lanes up to a
26 foot wide road in the middle for fire truck access. All of the boulevards will be eliminated.
The parking along the river will change from street side parking to angle parking. This change
will allow for 11 additional parking spaces along the riverfront. It will push the development a
little closer to the river but will still provide over 100 public parking spaces against the water.
The new widened roadways will provide easy site access to Ichabod's Landing emergency
access off of Westwood Drive. The drainage will provide for site drainage for Phase IV and V to
the north. All of the water from the north will come south and get diverted through the
development and discharged to an existing structure that feeds out to the Hudson River. The
Sanitary Sewer design plan shows that all sewage from the north park west of central park will
be discharged to a county manhole that is located under the Beekman Avenue circle.
Deputy Chairman Swartz suggested it would helpful to provide a utility plan.
Mike Junghans stated that they are finishing up the process of the submittals to the Department
of Health. The drawings include profiles of the utility lines as required for review. Mr. Junghans
stated that they have been working through the comments from the March 7, 2018 letter
submitted by the consultants and have submitted revisions prior to the meeting. They will be
providing 3D models of the water and sewer utilities.
Anthony Catalano from Woodward &amp; Curran acknowledged their response to the March 7,2018
letter submitted on April 13,2018 and that two additional engineering reports were received for
water and sanitary. Mr. Catalano stated that the utility plan needs more information regarding
gas and electric that shows more detail in 3D images. A condition assessment for the proposed
storm water pipes is requested to ensure its integrity and that the pipes can handle the capacity of
the proposed flow. It is anticipated that Lighthouse Landing Engineers will provide the

�assessments in the next couple of weeks. Woodward and Curran would need some time to review
the recent engineering reports and that after review would issue a follow up to the March 7, 2018
memo to close any remaining issues.
Deputy Chairman Swartz asked Mike Junghans what timing would be required to wrap up open
issues.
Mike Junghans stated he thinks they could wrap up technical issues within the next week or so.
Anthony Catalano stated that he will need to review the engineer reports first and provide
feedback. He suggested that the requested assessments and utility plans be worked on while they
are reviewing the engineering reports. Mr. Catalano stated that he should be able to complete the
review of the information submitted by the end of next week.
Deputy Chairman Swartz suggested that they provide all the information by the May 17, 2018
meeting and schedule a public hearing for an interim June 7,2018 meeting.
Sean McCarthy stated that they would have to submit by May 11, 2018 in order to have a public
hearing on June 7, 2018.
Nicole Emmans presented the sections to illustrate the revisions required by the 2016 New York
State Fire Code to provide an unobstructed way for fire apparatus access. Ms. Emmans presented
the plan for proposed landscape and planting for street trees.
David Smith asked if they had given consideration to the species of trees that are tolerant of the
Hudson River conditions.
Nicole Emmans stated that Honey Locust trees are tolerant of water locations.
There was a discussion between Kersten Harries and Nicole Emmans on the changes in the
building space dimensions based on changes to the roadways widths. Ms. Emmans stated that
setbacks remain consistent and that there will be no significant change to the building areas.
There was a discussion between Kersten Harries and Nicole Emmans regarding details of the
shift from commercial to residential along the river.
Kersten Harries asked if there was a lighting plan submitted.
Craig Tompkins stated that above ground electrical plans have been requested from the utility
companies for Phase II. The final lighting plan for Phase I is being reviewed with the Building
Department and will allow for the Phase II lighting plan to follow. Phase II lighting plans will be
completed before a public hearing is scheduled. Con Edison has relocated gas valves out of the
crosswalks for Phase I and this work will be continued throughout Phase II.
Motion to schedule a public hearing for June 7, 2018 pending submissions received by May 11,
2018.
