John Schnaufer stated that the original application would sub-divide 12 Acres. He stated that this revised application will divide 11 acres into a 9 acre parcel and a 2 acre buffer. He stated that some of this buffer is wetlands. He stated that this buffer will never be touched as per the purchase agreement. The Chair stated that the buffer should be 100-feet from Albany Post Road. He also stated that �there should be no access from Rt 9. Len Andrews (Sleepy Hollow Cemetery Board member) provided a map which showed that the 100-foot buffer would make the parcel unusable. He stated that the site will require some drainage system installed. He stated that the cemetery does not have the funds for this drainage study. The Chair asked what the land could be used for. Len Andrews responded that the land could be used for a family mausoleum or possibly used for direct natural burials or woodland burials. He stated that the success of these burials methods is currently unknown. The Chair asked the cemetery to propose a buffer distance to the Board. Gary Malunis asked if the buffer could include the wetlands. Len Andrews responded yes. The Chair asked if the applicant would be willing to forego the tax exemption during the time period until the parcel is developed. John Schnaufer responded that he would ask his client. He stated that the cemetery would have to take title to this parcel and decide to not claim the tax-exemption. John Schnaufer stated that the access to the parcel from Albany Post Road would be used for access to the family cemetery. The Chair responded that a gate would probably be used for access so it is not open to the public. Len Andrews stated that the current taxes for the parcel are $18,000. He stated that the cemetery needs land sales and crypt sales to remain open. The Chair responded that he was aware of the financial status of the cemetery. The Chair asked if there were any public comments. Vincent Savino (26 Fremont Road) stated that the Village Trustees are considering overturning the previous re-zoning of this parcel. The Chair responded that the Trustees had a discussion on the matter and did not vote on the Resolution.
