development the Chair called for a motion on the final approval. On motion of Ed Napoleon,

Fremont Roa j , in Sleepy Hollow Manor, Sleepy Hollow, set forth on a survey by Charles Riley
dated May 2S, 1998. Andrew J. Fiore addressed the Board, joined by Neil Whitehouse, the
current owne of parcel A on the survey. The lot line would add parcel B on the site plan to
parcel A, and thereby reduce the acreage of parcel C on the site plan. Mr. Fiore noted that the
NYS Depam lent of Transportation had sent a letter indicating that it would entertain a curb curt
application on Route 9, and that the parcel C had frontage on Route 9 and access on Fremont
Drive. The Village Planner advised that the lot line adjustment was a Type II action under the
NYS Environmental Quality Review Act, and it was noted that there was 40 feet alone Fremont
Road, which would be adequate for a driveway. The Village attorney noted that the lot line
change would be without prejudice to all legal requirements for eventual development of parcel
C and that the development of a single-family home on lot C would have to proceed on the basis
of the necciscry applications. The Planner and Mr. Napoleon asked that the survey include a

3. Trie Chair raised a scheduling matter regarding the Board's background preparation for
evaluating the potential redevelopment of the General Motors site. He noted that there were
public land uses to the north-east (Historic Hudson Valley), the Pocantico River and the Village
of Sleepy Hollow park to the north, and Kingsland Point Park to the north-west, and the Hudson
River to the west and south-west of the site. In addition, there is the Metro-North and Amtrak
and Conrail interests in the railway line, and the Westchester County sewer line, both transecting
the General Motors site. He proposed that presentations be scheduled by specialists on behalf of
the adjacent public land uses to the Planning Board for the purpose of better acquainting the
Board with the existing factual conditions and interests associated with these public uses. It was
agreed by consensus that such presentations would be useful. James Margotta indicated that the
he would provide each of the Board Members with the updated editions' of the Village Zoning
Code, and Janet Gandolfo indicated that copies of the bound LWRP would also be sent to each
Board Member, to facilitate their work on the Board.
4. There being no further business, the Chairman adjourned the meeting at 9:30 p.m.
