provided to the Board.
Dolph Rotfeld stated that the settling ponds were built by the Village DPW. He stated
that Fremont Pond is a NYS wetland. He stated that the settling ponds were the second
phase of improvements to the wetlands. He stated that the original proposal was to
include a road on the south side of the field but the DPW was built on the opposite side of
the field. He stated that an as-built was sent to the US Army Corps of Engineers. He
stated that the settling ponds need some work to alleviate some drainage issues in the
settling ponds.
The Chair stated that the Village needs to correct this matter. He stated that there should
be an easement from the Tarrytown school district for the newly constructed road. He
stated that the restrictive deed can revert the property back to the Town of Mt. Pleasant if
the work is not proven to be part of the maintenance for Peabody Field. He
recommended that the property deed be reviewed. He also stated that the Board would
have required a long form EAF and also required a biological survey to determine the
extent of the wetlands.
The Chair reviewed the next steps to correct the issues in the wetlands. He stated that the
Waterfront Advisory Committee consistency review is required. The Planning Board
also requires a public hearing on the application.
