IN THE MATTER OF A. TRIANA. 128 CORTLANDT STREET. SLEEPY HOLLOW. NEW YORK 10591 Mr. John Hughes, Esq. who is representing Mr. Triana stated that 128 Cortlandt Street has four stories to the building. The first floor is a bodega, the second floor is vacant, (it used to be a social club), the third and fourth floor is used as a rooming house with ten rooms on each floor. Mr. Triana has owned this property with a partner for a number of years. The rooming house is too much too manage and Mr. Triana would like to make it into four apartments and put in a restaurant. 8 Cedar street would be designed for a parking lot used by the restaurant. Mr. Triana rents the lot now to neighbors. The parking plans call for it too be cleared and strictly used for the restaurant and the tenants. The Zoning Board requires his applicant to come before the Planning Board. There would be no change of use, it would still be used for parking. The applicant would like to put funds towards the restaurant and the apartments and then spend money on the parking lot. Mr. Hughes would like the Board to consider that if the restaurant is used for a year or two and does well, the applicant could then make improvements to the parking lot, but the applicant would like to put his money towards the restaurant first. Mr. Caetano stated that for approximately $2,000 he would like to see the parking lot paved with lines and adequate lighting. Mr. Hughes stated that now there is tandem parking. There is someone there or on call to park cars. The Village code requires certain draining and other improvements. A building permit is needed to work on the building at 128 Cortlandt street. It was questioned that if the restaurant is a success, would the parking lot be completed. Parking in the area is difficult and needed. A temporary Certificate of Occupancy could be given for a certain amount of time. Mr. McCarthy stated that he does not think this would be a big expenditure. Mr. Hughes stated that valet parking is there now. The lot will be emptied out. If the restaurant is a success it will need valet parking. �- K Mr. Caetano made a motion authorizing the Building Inspector to issue a conditional temporary Certificate of Occupancy to allow the applicant to make the improvements on the restaurant/residential portion of the building and defer the improvements on the parking lot until such time no later than the November meeting that the applicant return to the Planning Board to discuss improvements on the parking lot or the conditional temporary certificate of occupancy will be revoked, seconded by Mr. McCarthy, motion carried unanimously. IN THE MATTER OF FOX RIDGE TRANSPORTATION. SLEEPY HOLLOW. NEW YORK 10591 Mr. Jeff Moore who is representing Fox Ridge Transportation showed the Planning Board plans of new plantings that will continue along the sidewalk around the corner of Beekman Avenue and Division Street. There is a screened section with landscaping along the waterfront, below Frank Capozza's lot and before Mr. Cooney's lot. These are preliminary plans. Discussion ensued. Mr. Hritz stated that this riverfront property may have potential plans for a marina, ferry's, etc. The landscaping should continue from Tarrytown into Sleepy Hollow, possibly shrubbery. The Planning Board is looking for significant landscaping. Mr. Caetano suggested that signs should be posted for buses only. Also, Mr. Caetano suggested that for Fox Ridge's benefit, the company may want to put up a gate for security reasons. Ms. Becker questioned the capacity of the lot because of increased traffic. Mr. Moore stated that six or seven buses leave the site at certain times. The lot has 67 vans and 27 employees. Mr Hritz made a motion to declare the Planning Board as lead agency, seconded by Mr.Caetano. A public hearing will be held at the February meeting. A legal notice should be sent to all residents within 200 feet of the property. An Environmental Assessment Form along with an application should be sent to the Planning Board members 10 days before the public hearing.
