Moved: Aridas Seconded: Swartz Vote 5-0 3) Marcos Lozano, 30 Andrews Lane, Proposed town house development - Preliminary presentation. Jonathan Villani from Jonathan Villani & Associates, Inc. is representing the applicant. Mr. Villani stated that the plans have been revised to address the comments from last month's meeting. Mr. Villani stated that the vehicular circulation has been revised and open space in the parking area was created. Mr. Villani stated that there is still a question about the location of the middle building in relationship to the parking and circulation. Mr. Villani is requesting approval of the location of the middle building so the site engineering drawings can be completed. Chairwoman Santo stated that the Board reviewed the plans at the work session before the meeting and had several comments. Ms. Santo referred to the site plan drawing and stated that the green space from adjoining units overlap lacking privacy and that there should be some type of separation; the driveway width at 16 feet was too narrow; the dumpster location in the corner of the lot would be difficult to access; the middle building is lacking a green space area; and some parking areas are not curbed and protected with a buffer area. Jonathan Villani stated that the location and configuration of the middle building makes providing open space difficult. Gordon Swartz questioned if the middle building should be eliminated and replaced with open space. Jonathan Villani replied that eliminating the building will reduce the unit count to eight making the project not viable. Mr. Villani stated that the Board is suggesting eliminating units in favor of open space. Clinton Smith stated that the Board is not suggesting having open space rather than dwelling units. Mr. Smith stated that although the project may comply with the zoning regulations, the Board is questioning if the site plan, with the proper open space, width of driveway, traffic circulation, garbage facility, and utility functions, will support the proposed number of units. Jonathan Villani stated that if he removes the middle building, the other two buildings could be adjusted to make the driveway wider and correct the parking layout. Gordon Swartz stated that the plan has made good progress. �Jonathan Villani stated that he will discuss the Boards suggestions with his client. No action was taken. 4) Cortlandt Court, LLC, 149 Cortlandt Street, Proposed auto body shop- Preliminary presentation The applicant did not appear for the meeting. No action was taken. 5) R-5 Zoning Amendments Gordon Swartz stated that Francois from the Tree Commission contacted him about two trees that were approved by the Planning Board to be taken down on a property. The homeowner took down three trees and was given that approval by the Building Department. Chairwoman Santo stated that the minutes only approved taking down two trees. Gordon Swartz stated that this is going to be an issue and wants to find out what happened. Mr. Swartz stated that there was a lot of push back from Sean McCarthy about the sub-committees report and he didn't want to engage any of the committee's recommendations. Chairwoman Santo asked to review the resolution for the R-5 Zoning Amendments. Clinton Smith reviewed the changes to the draft resolution and the process amending the Zoning Code. There was an open discussion about how the resolution should be addressed to the Village Board. Motion was made to direct the Village Attorney to revise the resolution and re-circulate the document.
