                  <text>A*y*A regular meeting of the Planning Board was held on
October 15, 1998 at 8:00 p.m. in the Village Hall,
28 Beekman Avenue, Sleepy Hollow, New York 10591.
Members Present:

David Perlmutter, Acting Chairman
Benito Martinez
Nicholas Cicchetti
Betsy Sawyer Gaylin
Ed Napoleon

Absent:

Edward McCarthy
Nicholas Robinson

Also Present:

James Margotta, Building Inspector
Janet Gandolfo, Village Attorney

Ms. Gandolfo stated that the resolution is to read
that the applicant agrees to plant four new trees on the
Phelps Hospital grounds subject to the approval and
location by Phelps and the Tree Commission.
Mr. Schneider asked if it can be left at type, size and
location.
Chairman suggested that it be subject to the approval of
the Tree Commission as to type, size and location.
Chairman asked if anyone wanted to move this resolution.
Mr. Cicchetti made the motion.
Ms. Sawyer seconded the motion.
Motion passed.
A discussion ensued.
Chairman stated they just had a discussion about rewording
with regard to the trees so the trees will not be on Phelps
property, but wherever the Tree Commission of Phelps thinks
it should be, and asked if anybody has anything to say.
There being no response, the Chairman asked if any member
of the public had anything to say.
There being no response, the Chairman asked for all in favor
to respond by saying aye.

�2
Passed unanimously.
Chairman asked if there was anything else to be discussed.
Janet Gandolfo stated that the members should have received
a copy of the negative declaration which they just attached
to the official minutes, that that will be adopted at the
next meeting.
Chairman stated that the Rockefeller application, last time
where it was settled would just be for planning purposes,
it may not have been fully accurate and he thinks we
should look into that before the next meeting. And if there
was any inaccuracy in that representation, would they look
at it again to see if anything else is required.
Chairman noted that no one was present from the Rockefeller
outside counsel.
Ms. Saywer asked if this was supposed to be the Public
Hearing today.
Ms. Gandolfo replied no, this was the subdivision, that it's
on for November.
Ms. Gandolfo stated that she will call John Hughs and ask
him.
Mr. Cicchetti stated that the question was specifically
asked and John Hughs specifically said no, so he think
maybe they ought to get in touch with him, and the minutes
should show that.
Chairman asked if anyone wanted to discuss the other thing
we have on Sleepy Hollow, if anyone wanted to tell them
anything about that.
Mr. Cicchetti stated that they received a letter from Weiss
House and there was a flag property on Fremont with a
narrow entrance and the property was back, that Dan Forelli
was trying to get some of the property that was on one lot
removed over to the Weiss House, who now too owns the house
that's there, the object being that if someone built behind
them facing on Broadway, that they would not be that close
to his house, so we wanted that extra property. We left it
so we walk away from the situation.
Mr. Cicchetti further stated that now we have the letter

�3
from the Weiss House people asking for some sort of
agreement to be made without going through the Planning
Board and the Zoning Board and they sent the letter to Jim
Margotta.
Mr. Cicchetti futher stated that he doesn't know what there
is that they are attempting to do here, but he had an
opportunity then to reread the original proposal from Dan
Forelli, and Dan Forelli was trying to say in their proposal
that they would give the right of way for that narrow piece,
which would be the entrance from Fremont to the property in
the back, which then faced on North Broadway or on Route 9.
Mr. Cicchetti further stated that that being the case, then
the Board is faced with Dave Schiff's opinion that you have
to have a hundred linear feet along the street in order to
build. He is 100 feet on North Broadway, but he doesn't
have it on Fremont.
Mr. Cicchetti further stated that somebody mentioned
apparently they have gotten approval to get an entrance
from Route 9, but he doesn't mention that in the letter.
Mr. Margotta stated that they expect to get an approval
from DOT to have an ingress and egress on Route 9, that at
the time he talked to them they did not have it.
Mr. Cicchetti asked Mr. Margotta what he is going to do
with the letter, that it is addressed to him.
Mr. Margotta stated that he distributed it to everybody.
Ms. Gandolfo stated that right now there is no application
before the board because they withdrew the one they had.
Mr. Margotta stated that this Board sent them to the Zoning
Board.
Ms. Gandolfo stated that they never went to the Zoning
Board.
Mr. Margotta stated that Weiss House sent him this
information, so he distributed it to both boards.
Ms. Gandolfo stated that they will respond to Weiss House
and tell them what the action was a couple of months ago
when they came in and that we will keep an eye on it.

�4
Mr. Margotta stated that he was talking to one of the
gentlemen from the real estate company and they said they
expected to get a letter from the State allowing them to
have ingress and egress.
A discussion ensued.
Chairman asked for a motion to adjourn.
Mr. Cicchetti made a motion to adjourn.
Ms. Sawyer seconded the motion
There being no further business, meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully Submitted,

Lyaia Irizarry,
Recording Secretary
