Continued Public Hearing

This is a continuation from a previous meeting.

�Mike Miele, engineer, represented the application. He stated the main issue is how to
connect to the utilities. They have applied to NYS Department of Transportation to obtain a
right of way to connect under North Broadway (Route 9) to tie into the utilities on
Farrington Avenue. He also stated that the only ingress/egress for this property is onto
Route 9 so they will construct a turnaround on the property for this purpose.
The Chair asked if the Board could get a copy of the Con Edison application for this
property. Mr. Miele stated he would provide that for the Board.

1 8 5 Cortlandt Street

Public Hearing

Frank Tancredi, architect and John Manuele, property owner, represented this application.
Mr. Tancredi provided an updated site plan for the Board showing curbing, curb cuts, onstreet parking, trees and lighting. In the rear they have decided to eliminate a staircase and
use that square footage for off street loading. They are also removing a two-foot high
retaining wall and installing new walls and providing an area for trash and recycling
containers.
The Chair asked how the trash area would be shielded. Mr. Tancredi stated there is a fence
along Cortlandt Avenue, which will be removed and replaced with a new fence along with
some landscaping. The fence will be six feet in the front and four feet in the rear because
that part will be on top of a two-foot wall. They will put blue stone and stone dust to aid in
drainage in that area along with a trench drain. They will eliminate concrete steps to enter
the gated area. A planting area will be added in the rear to provide some screening on the
south side. The garage door on Beekman Avenue along with the curb cut will be removed.
A new curb will be installed and some trees planted on Beekman Avenue.
Mr. Tancredi stated the application had received variances for parking from the Zoning
Board of Appeals and that any use of this property would require parking variances. He
stated they are now providing an area for refuse containment.

Public Hearing

This application is for an elevated pedestrian bridge between the new surgical suite in the
Medical Services Building and the operating rooms of the main hospital building.
Jerry Schwalbe, planner and site engineer with Divney Tung Schwalbe, Keith Safian,
President &amp; CEO of Phelps Memorial Hospital, Tom Mancino, architect, HCP Architects and
Kerry Pisano and Tom Whittaker from Phelps Memorial Hospital represented this
application.
Mr. Schwalbe gave an overview of the property and the site plan. He stated they received a
letter from the Village engineer and wanted to address those comments.
• Columns from the bridge that come down to the loading area - They will be just to
the left of the trailer for medical waste, however there is no issue with the trucks
that load that waste. There will be a slight adjustment of the column. They will
more clearly define that area on the plans and show the location of that trailer.
• Status of Phelps's Master Site Plan:
- Robin's Nest Building: A small water retention basin has been finished and
will be planted in the fall.
- MRI Building: Phelps received approval from Department of Health to
maintain that MRI unit until Dec. 2015. Their plan is to move that unit into
the hospital building at that time and then complete a wider drop off area
and parking area by Spring 2016.
- Basin next to parking structure has been completed.
- Stormwater unit next to ER has been completed and installed.
- Payment for offsite sewer improvements: Village will determine if this work
was completed and get back to Phelps on the findings.
- Trailers: Two trailers located in the rear, lower parking lot. One trailer is
empty and will be removed in the next month. The second trailer contains 11
staff members and a decontamination treatment center for nuclear and
biological exposure. The staff will be moved into office space in the hospital.
The decontamination unit has been in place since 1999 and also services
Indian Point. It can handle decontamination of 50-60 people per hour as
opposed to a smaller unit in the Emergency room. Phelps would like the
trailer to remain in that capacity.
The Chair stated this seems like more a permanent structure than a temporary trailer. Mr.
Schwalbe stated Phelps's plan is to move the staff and have this trailer function for
temporary emergency services only.
The Chair asked what needed to be done to make this temporary structure a permanent

�decontamination unit. Keith Safian stated this trailer was set up for decontamination
issues in the area but has been used for other issues such as anthrax and other chemical
and biological agents in the surrounding areas. It would not be occupied except for
maintenance and drills and in the event of an emergency. It is only for those who are able
bodied and have been contaminated. Since it is only used sporadically, Phelps was hoping
to keep it as is and not invest any more money in something that is rarely used but should
be maintained as a resource for the community.
The Chair asked if the office space in the trailer would be incorporated into the
decontamination unit. Mr. Safian stated the office space could be used as a staging area for
those who have been decontaminated instead of using the parking lot for that purpose.
The Chair asked how the Master Site Plan could be amended. James Natarelli asked if this
trailer was part of the master site plan. Mr. Schwalbe stated it was a condition of the site
plan that it would be removed after a certain time and if not removed it would be applied
as an amendment to the application for a site plan.
James Natarelli asked if this would impact stormwater in the area if it were a vacant area.
Mr. Schwalbe stated it was in a parking lot so there would be no increase or decrease to the
impervious area.
Mr. Schwalbe stated they had reviewed the views from the James House that were
mentioned by Hugh Jones at the last meeting. He stated Phelps feels the views would not
significantly change with the bridge construction and they do not want to invest in more
trees in that area at this point.

Owen Wells stated there are no planning areas related to the bridge only the question of
how this site plan ties into the master site plan.
Janet Gandolfo stated that approval could be given subject to the submission of these
issues. It might be impractical to hold up this application for the applicant. Mr. Schwalbe
stated Phelps is seeking financing for this project and they can get a better rate if they can
separate this application from the master site plan application.
Janet Gandolfo suggested drafting a resolution approving construction of the bridge and
then put a condition that prior to the building permit being issued, the applicant will

Bedford Road

Public Hearing

Janet Gandolfo stated the notices from the public hearing have been received from the
Building Department and checked by Rae Lee in that department.
The Chair read the public notice into the record.
Kyle McGovern attorney from Lyons McGovern and James Ford, Managing Member,
Scarabee Holding LLC and Michael Stein, engineer from Hudson Engineering represented
this application.
Kyle McGovern presented easement to the Village Attorney. He stated there is a continuing
permanent access easement between the property at 1 4 4 Bedford Road and these lots. He
also stated if they receive Board approval there would be a driveway easement for the two
lots to share access to Route 4 4 8 (Bedford Road).
Janet Gandolfo stated this would be part of the record and an agreement between the two
parties.
Mr. McGovern stated he had attempted to contact the DOH regarding their easement but
had not heard back.
Michael Stein stated this is an application for a two-lot subdivision on the north side of
Bedford Road. The parcel is located within the R1 zoning district, which requires a lot size
of one acre. Lot 1 would be 2.06 acres and Lot 2 would be 2.61 acres.
Mr. Stein stated an easement would be necessary to gain access to Lot Two through Lot
One. Lot One would have an easement through Lot Two to connect to the existing water
main. Both properties would have access to the sanitary sewer. They have submitted
copies of a comprehensive stormwater analysis to the Village Planner and the Planning
Board. They have received a memo with comments from the Building Department.
Mr. Stein stated they would like to discuss the Village Code, section 425-16, subsection B.
Kyle McGovern stated the comment from the Village Engineer pursuant to this code and
talking about upstream drainage elements. Mr. McGovern stated that the property across

Planning Board Meeting, July 18, 2013 - APPROVED

�the street is the National Trust for Historic Preservation - the Rockefeller property- and is
not permitted for further development by that trust. Also the lot immediately to the north
of the proposed subdivision is owned by David Rockefeller and is to be deeded into a trust
upon his death and would have restrictions on any future development. Mr. McGovern
stated they would contact counsel for the Rockefeller family and obtain a letter of
representation for the fact those properties cannot be developed.
Michael Stein stated they could submit offsite analysis showing flow rate collected by drain
inlet from the DOT roadway that is directed onto the property. Currently the pipe
discharges to the end of the roadway and down a steep slope. They would connect to that
pipe and convey to a level spreader and return it to sheet flow and not a channel flow. Mr.
Stein showed how the water flow would be directed to a berm built by the DOT and stated
they would make sure the neighbor's properties are not affected.
James Natarelli stated his main concern is where the water would be discharged if not in
the existing swale area which is shallow dense grass. He would like to see how the water is
going to be mitigated with the new drainage features suggested. Michael Stein suggested
they could widen and improve the level spreader area where the water flows out and
giving it more of a storage area allowing the water to slow down. He stated they would
provide the offsite water analysis to the Village Engineer.
Michael Stein stated they would do some adjustments to the stormwater system and to the
elevations on the drawings.
The Chair stated he was concerned regarding water runoff especially on Route 4 4 8 and the
properties below.

MIKE WIEBE, 7 7 Sleepy Hollow Road stated he is concerned with the removal of trees
from the property since it would change the character of the walking trails in the area.

�Michael Stein stated their intent is not to remove trees all the way up to the edge of the
property line but leave all sloped areas vegetated. They are providing rear yards as
recreation areas for the property owners. There would still be a buffer of trees on the
properties.
Discussion ensued about whether that condition would be part of the site plan approval.

7 ) Rock of Salvation Church

1 3 5 Cortlandt St.

Continued

Javier Taborga of C&amp;T Design Build LLC represented the application, which is a proposal to
provide parking spaces for the church.
Mr. Taborga updated his presentation of the parking lot for the Rock of Salvation Church.
They are now proposing an open green area in the rear of the building and reducing the
number of parking spaces to 18 spots.
The Chair stated the Board had received a notice from the Building Department regarding
the building next door at 139 Cortlandt Street. That building has a condition of site plan
approval that was tied to the Church's property at 135 Cortlandt Street for access and
drainage. The Chair stated if the applicant constructs their parking lot then the property at
139 Cortlandt Street is in non-compliance for site plan approval. The applicant has to
accommodate the conditions of 139 Cortlandt's site plan approval in anything they do with
the property at 135 Cortlandt Street.
Mr. Taborga stated he was aware of this previous condition. Mr. Taborga spoke with the
owner of 139 Cortlandt Street and stated they would continue those shared systems for

Planning Board Meeting, July 18, 2013 - APPROVED

�water retention and drywells, however they have no idea if those systems are in place and
there are no records in the Building Department for any shared systems. The only way
they could find out is to open the space. The applicant is requesting permission from the
Board to start demolition, clean up the site to find these systems.
The Chair stated the Board cannot give permission for demolition because once given, it
cannot be rescinded. Mr. Taborga stated the two residences on the property are
condemned and it is not the intention of the applicant to keep them.
Janet Gandolfo stated in terms of the applicant wishing to demolish buildings on the
property that is a separate application to the Building Department and is subject to
conditions of that department.
Ms. Gandolfo asked if Mr. Taborga is asking the Planning Board to merge the lot at 135
Cortlandt Street with the current Church property. Mr. Taborga agreed with that
statement. Ms. Gandolfo stated the applicant must look at the conditions for both lots and
whatever condition was required for that lot would now be required for the entire parcel.
Owen Wells stated the site plan for 139 Cortlandt Street from 1 9 9 8 shows shared access
between 135 and 139 Cortlandt Street. He asked Mr. Taborga if two parking spaces would
be lost if they allowed shared access for the properties. Janet Gandolfo asked if Mr.
Taborga had discussed zoning issues with Mr. McCarthy if they had to lose the two parking
spaces for the shared access. Owen Wells stated there is no zoning conformance issue with
the church. Mr. Taborga stated they wanted to provide more parking spaces to make the
lot functional.
Ms. Gandolfo stated the Village Engineer, Village Planner and Building Department need to
give feedback based on the new plans submitted.
The Chair stated the applicant has to consider the other property and the conditions
imposed on their site plan approval and how it affects the applicants' property and their
site plan approval.
Mr. Taborga asked if they have to keep a legal easement for access through the Church's
property. Ms. Gandolfo responded it depends on what is stated in the deed. Mr. Taborga
stated when the Church purchased the property, there were no easements on the deed; it
was completely independent of the other property.
Janet Gandolfo stated if this Board approves this application then the other property has no
parking. Discussion ensued regarding the property being sold without a legal right of way.
The Chair asked if the applicant has any issue with entering into an easement for a right of
way to the property at 139 Cortlandt Street. Mr. Taborga stated the Church wanted to use
their parking lot for their members only. He stated they would have a problem enforcing
that if it was considered a public lot.
Janet Gandolfo asked how many parking spaces the lot at 139 Cortlandt Street would be

�losing. Mr. Taborga stated they would be losing six spaces but can get to the rear of the
building through a fire lane on the north side of the building.
Discussion ensued regarding the number of spaces the building at 139 Cortlandt would lose
if there were no shared access.
Janet Gandolfo suggested the Board needs more history on the two properties and to
review any prior approvals, deeds, easements or rights of way that have been previously
filed.
James Natarelli stated he needed to review the current plans and submit his comments to
Sean McCarthy.

8 ) Kendal on Hudson

1 Kendal Way

Preliminary Presentation

This application is a preliminary presentation for an amended site plan approval.
Andrew Tung, engineer - Divney, Tung, Schwalbe, represented this application along with
Ed Hannon, Chairman - Kendal on Hudson, Pat Doyle, Executive Director - Kendal on
Hudson, John Hughes - project counsel, and Donna Maiello, landscape architect - Divney,
Tung, Schwalbe.
Mr. Tung stated that Kendal has made a joint application to the BOT and the Planning
Board for amendments to the Special Permit for site plan approval as it applies to Kendalon-Hudson for Project Renew.
Kendal is a CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community) located on the western portion
of the Phelps Memorial campus. Mr. Tung stated Kendal leases the grounds from Phelps.
Kendal opened in May 2 0 0 5 after an extensive review process, which rezoned the Hdistrict to permit a second principal use within that district, i.e. a CCRC. The site plan
approval was granted by the Planning Board in 2002.

Planning Board Meeting, July 18, 2013 - APPROVED

10

�The CCRC involves three levels of senior living and care: independent living units, assisted
living units, and skilled nursing care. The number of units is 288. The health center, which
is comprised of the assisted living and skilled nursing care, derives its' residents from
independent living. The concept is that the residents move within the small community to
the part that best suit their needs.
There is a subset of the population, those with memory loss or dementia, whose conditions
were not optimally met by the facilities in assisted living and skilled nursing. The
Department of Health in NYS revised their regulations so that assisted living would have a
subset for memory care. In 2011, the Kendal Board and the residents began to plan for a
time where certain components of the health center could be adjusted to better serve those
with memory loss problems - Project Renew.
Mr. Tung showed an aerial photo of the existing Kendal facility. There are four buildings
interconnected by pedestrian bridges. Mr. Tung explained the layout of the buildings. The
planning for Project Renew would change the physical setup of the interior so that a 12unit memory care facility could be created.
The proposed changes include:
• Expanded lobby at the front and addition of a porte-cochere for covered drop off.
• The library would be relocated off the main lobby and under an existing pedestrian
bridge, which connects the Mary Powell Building and the Aleto Building.
• The memory care facility will be set up like a large living space with separate
bedrooms and a shared living room, dining area, TV area and other shared spaces.
• A new garden area, one level down from the main entry but not visible from the loop
road, only from the interior courtyard.
• A new door and a ramp would be added in the Mary Powell Building.
• A vestibule would be added on the west side at the entrance to the health center.
• Two new doors to the interior garden area along with new sidewalk in that area.
• Add six new units to the health center.
• Reduce 16 skilled nursing units.
• Assisted living units would increase to 22, of which 12 units would be the memory
care facility.
There is also a proposed addition to connect the trail from the north end of Birch Close and
the Kendal existing walkway system. It connects in two locations to the paths in Rockwood
Hall section of the State Park Preserve. The connection to the Sleepy Hollow neighborhood
was discussed during the initial approval process but was not part of the project, however
it was included as a provision that sometime in the future a connection could be made.
The proposal is to connect at the right of way off Birch Close, which extends to the
boundary line of the Phelps campus. Portions of the trail currently exist within the south
buffer. Mr. Tung showed existing pictures of the open areas where the trails were partially
created for utilities and landscape maintenance. Mr. Tung also showed photos that
indicated their vision for the trails. It would be an open, clearly marked trail for daytime

Planning Board Meeting, July 18, 2013 - APPROVED

�access through Kendal to the State Park Preserve. Kendal proposes that this trail would be
closed at night and in inclement weather with a gate at Birch Close and at the beginning of
the Kendal walkway system.
The Chair asked the proposed height of the gate and who would maintain opening/closing
the gates. Mr. Tung stated the gate would be the same height as the existing fence, which is
4-5 feet. He stated there is an existing fence at the Birch Close end of the trail. Kendal
facilities staff would open/close the gates every day and during bad weather.
The Chair stated it is a safety concern and asked Mr. Tung to provide the height of the
existing fence.
Mr. Tung received memos from the Village Engineer and Village Planner and addressed
their comments on trail design and drainage. The intent is not to take down existing trees.
The path would meander down a gentle grade and stay away from trees. There is a
drainage course that they propose, which would be crossed by stepping-stones of a similar
kind as in the north end of Swan Lake in Rockefeller State Park. The stones would have
minimal affect on the landscape, low maintenance and not change the flow of the drainage.
The Chair stated the Board of Trustees would be Lead Agency on the special permit and the
Planning Board would be Lead Agency on the site plan approval.
Motion to schedule public hearing for September subject to submissions and the Board of
Trustees declaration as Lead Agency on the special permit.

Steve Maffia, traffic consultant with Vince Ferrandino and Associates, commented on the
TRC engineer's report dealing with the traffic impact on the proposed site plan change.
Mr. Maffia stated they agreed with the findings that the changes the applicant is seeking
would have little impact. He also noted that the proposed changes would not have a
negative impact on the parking since there is no increase in population of residents and no
increase in staffing. His site visit to the facility showed plenty of empty parking spaces
available in the parking structure.
Mr. Maffia also noted that the machine traffic counts in the TRC study did not cover another
access that leads to the south of the parking structure. It is identified as an emergency
access but the gates to access that area were open to the general public. TRC should
comment on the usage of that roadway.
The initial Kendal application was for 300 units total and was reduced to 2 9 1 units. Mr.
Maffia questioned the reason why 300 plus units was not acceptable to the Boards and
should that 2 9 1 number be honored in any amendment to the site plan of the special
permit.

Planning Board Meeting, July 18, 2013 - APPROVED

12

�Mr. Maffia stated the connection of the trail to the existing sidewalk on the western portion
of Kendal includes a double-crossing of the loop road. Their recommendation is that the
applicant should extend the sidewalk to the end of the trail so that people who are entering
from the woods don't have to cross the loop road twice to stay on the trail.
Mr. Tung stated there was a gate at the end of the access road and the gate is always closed.
Pat Doyle stated on rare occasions an ambulance may ask for the gate to be open in an
emergency.
Mr. Tung stated there is a berm to raise the level of planting in the area mentioned and
would review to see if a walkway fits into that berm.
Regarding the number of units, there was an initial proposal that included additional
assisted living units and was reduced in the environmental review to 2 9 1 units and the
zoning was set so a certain square footage of site area was required for each CCRC unit.
Five years ago, Phelps annexed seven acres of land from the Town of Mt. Pleasant so the
maximum number of units permitted on the site is now 325. They are only asking for an
additional six units within the health care center. The total number of units would be 294.
James Natarelli asked about the two crossings on the trail and what was proposed for the
one without the stepping-stones. Donna Maiello stated once the trail is staked out they
would understand exactly what is happening in that area. Discussion ensued regarding
topography of the trail area.

Resolution of the Planning Board of the Village of Sleepy Hollow

review for such construction is necessary and desirous to ensure that all new construction
in the Village is done in a manner that is beneficial for both the property owner and the
neighboring properties; and

which a neighboring property owner has an opportunity to comment on new construction;

of Trustees to reconsider excluding one and two family residences from the requirements
of review and site plan approval.
