4) Local Development Corporation - 60 Continental Street, Amending Filling Permit,
Resolution.
There was a request by the Local Development Corporation to amend a previously approved
resolution related to a fill permit for the East Parcel located at 60 Continental Street. The request
involved surety bond requirements for fill testing and repairs to Continental Street. The Board
was amenable to amending the fill requirement because it will be covered by existing insurance.
However, there was a concern that potential damage to sewer lines on Continental Street could
result in sewer backups into homes. Chair Santo requested an independent engineer review the
sewer video to determine the risk. The matter will be put on the next Planning Board agenda.

Discussion
The applicant requested an adjournment until April.

to the Village Board. The Planning Board is recommending that the Village Board adopt a
Complete Streets policy.

7) Devan Sharma and Om Dhiman - 178 Beekman Avenue, Site Plan Approval Extension,
Discussion
The applicant was seeking a site plan approval extension for a property at 178 Beekman Avenue.
The original approval was for a house of worship on the first floor of the building. The approval
was issued on a temporary basis for 18 months. The applicant would like to extend this
temporary site plan approval for another 6 months.
The Board confirmed that there have been no complaints at this location and felt there was no
reason not to approve the request.
Motion to approve a six month extension on the site plan approval
Moved: DelVecchio
Seconded: Jones
Absent: McCarthy, Swartz

Vote 5-0
APPROVED

8) A &amp; L Properties, Inc - 15 Katrina Avenue, Sub-Division and Proposed Two-Family
Residence and Gordon Avenue and Katrina Avenue, Proposed Parking Lot,
Presentation
Discussion on the two agenda items were combined, since they are related. Architect J.B.
Hernandez and Javier Tobago represented the applicant. They summarized the plan, which
involves properties at North Broadway, Katrina Avenue and Gordon Avenue. The plan is for a
two family residents and expanded parking lot. The expansion of the parking lot is to
accommodate proposed additional offices at 340 North Broadway. There are 28 spaces needed.
Drawings were provided.
There was a discussion about the need for variances. The applicant would need to receive a
variance from the Zoning Board for parking.
The matter was referred to the Zoning Board.

�9) Margaret Carol - 5 Birch Close, Site Improvements - Preliminary Presentation
Architect, Jurgen Wessley represented the applicant. The project is to legalize improvements at
5 Birch Close. Work on retaining walls had begun without a permit. A stop work ordered was
issued for the site. There was a discussion related to storm water management, retaining walls
and whether or not the site needs a wetland permit. It is the opinion of the building department
that a wetland permit is required. There was a discussion as to why retaining walls are
necessary. Mr. Wesley said that the walls are needed to prevent erosion. When the walls are
completed, fill will need to be brought in to level the site. The Board was concerned about the
number of trucks needed to bring fill onto the site. The applicant pointed out the benefits of the
project. The Planning Board agreed that there was enough information to set a public hearing.
