On September 21, 1990 this office submitted a memorandum to the Planning Board with our review of an earlier version of this site plan. Apparently, the only revisions contained within the site plan received today involve the ground floor levels of 89 and 91 Cortlandt Street. The previously identified restaurant at 91 Cortlandt Street is now identified as a "Bar." The commercial kitchen, which was located on the ground floor of 89 Cortlandt Street and was intended to support the proposed adjoining restaurant use, has been changed to a "utility room." Our September 21, 1990 memorandum identified a number of variances as well as one performance standard (appropriate containment and/or venting of kitchen fumes) that we believed the applicant would need to address before site plan approval could be granted. We also recommended that the applicant supply a lighting plan for the parking area and that the Village Fire Department be requested to comment on the narrow driveway width in the back of the building to determine if its deficient size could affect the Fire Department's ability to perform fire suppression and rescue functions in the event of an emergency. We have enclosed herewith a copy of the September 21, 1990 memorandum for your review. However, as the proposed kitchen use has been eliminated, our previously noted concern regarding the containment and/or appropriate venting of kitchen fumes is no longer a relevant issue. We have been informed that the applicant is scheduled to appear before the Village of North Tarrytown Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) tomorrow, February 20, 1990. If the ZBA views this application favorably and grants the necessary variances, then copies of those variance approvals should be submitted as part of the application and the specific variances granted should be referenced on the submitted site plans. i �FREDERICK P. CLARK ASSOCIATES, INC. Planning/Development/Environment/Transportation If the ZBA grants the variances necessary for this project to proceed as proposed, we would recommend the following: o The applicant should supply a lighting plan that demonstrates that the lighting of the rear parking area will provide for a safe and well lit area but will not produce glare into adjoining residential uses or onto Clinton Street. o The applicant should identify all variances granted by the ZBA, including the dates they were approved, on the site plan. o The Planning Board should formally request that the Fire Department review the driveway and parking area from a fire safety perspective. This concludes our review at this time.

Portman, AICP Frederick E. Wiedle. AICP Howard I. Reynolds, PE David H. Stolman, AICP Michael A. Gaiante Joanne P. Meder, AICP Jim Donovan, RLA, ASLA MEMORANDUM To: Village of North Tarrytown Planning Board Date: April 15, 1991 Subject: Krinaas Subdivision - Webber Avenue INTRODUCTION: This application was last before the Planning Board on February 21, 1991. At that meeting the Planning Board reviewed the applicant's latest submission, which was for a three-lot subdivision. The proposed subdivision was shown on a plan titled, "Kringas Subdivision Plan," prepared by Turnquist Architects, dated September 12, 1990 and last revised February 8, 1991. This subdivision would maintain the site's existing five-unit structure on one lot of approximately 28,000 square feet (s.f.) and would create two additional lots, each of which would maintain slightly more than 5,000 s.f. and each of which would support one single family home. In preparation for the February 21, 1991 Planning Board meeting, our office submitted a memorandum, dated February 14, 1991, analyzing the applicant's proposed three-lot subdivision. As our memorandum of February 14, 1991 indicates, we recommended that the application be amended to provide for the protection of some of the site's important vegetative/buffering features and that the applicant provide information as to whether wetlands exist on the site. VEGETATIVE PROTECTION: In previous submissions (specifically the subdivision plans dated July 27, 1990 and September 12, 1990), as well as in verbal presentations before the Planning Board, it has been represented that this application would include preservation of the site's significant trees and vegetative buffer. However, when the plans were revised on February 8, 1991, all references to preserving the existing peripheral vegetative buffer and the site's significant trees were dropped. Consequently, we have recommended, and continue to recommend, that notations to the effect that the site's existing �FREDERICK P. CLARK ASSOCIATES, INC. PLinnipq. Development,'Environment/ Transportation vegetative buffer and significant trees will be preserved should be reincorporated into the plans. Furthermore, some minor adjustments should be made to the proposed grading plans where such adjustments are necessary to preserve these vegetative features. Preservation of these vegetative features is not only consistent with good site planning and with the applicant's earlier representations, but it is also specifically called for under Section 12.A.(2) of the Subdivision Regulations of the Village of North Tarrytown. WETLANDS APPLICABILITY: In our memorandum of February 14, 1991 and during the February 21, 1991 Planning Board meeting, we raised the possibility that a wetland and/or intermittent watercourse may have existed along the southeastern boundary of the subject site. Based upon the fact that the contours in this area appear to resemble those of an existing drainage channel, the fact that an unfilled wetland exists immediately to the southwest of this apparently filled area, the fact that the applicant's submitted plans provided for storm water pipes and a drainage swale in this area and the testimony presented by neighboring residents at an earlier public hearing that the area often flowed with water at times of heavy rainfall, this office recommended that the area be tested to determine whether the subject site contained a wetland and/or watercourse, as defined in Section 61-5 of the Code of the Village of North Tarrytown (the Code). Consistent with the applicant's responsibility to obtain and provide such information under Sections 61-3.B. and 61-11.C. of the Code, the applicant has submitted a wetlands report on the subject area, dated March 21, 1991 and prepared by Burton R. Laux, a soil scientist. While the report indicates the presence of ground water, it is not in sufficient quantity or duration to create a wetland soil. Consequently, based upon the additional information provided by Mr. Laux in his report, we concur that Chapter 61, Wetland/Watercourse Protection, of the Code does not apply to this application. REVISED APPLICATION: The applicant should submit a revised application form to reflect the current state of the application. The filed application form appears to reflect the status of this proposal when a two-lot subdivision supporting a total of ten dwelling units was under consideration. Specifically, the application should be amended to reflect that fact that, as currently proposed, the application is for a three lot subdivision in support of a pre-existing 2 �FREDERICK P. CLARK ASSOCIATES, INC. Planning/Development/Environment/Transportation nonconforming five-unit structure and t;WO new conforming single family houses. The specific variances the* current proposal received from the Zoning Board of Appeals should be identified on the application form. CONCLUSION: As indicated in the comments above, our only outstanding recommendations are that the plans fee revised to indicate preservation of the above identified vegetative features and that a revised application form be submitted * Thomas Gissen, AICP Associate/Planning cc: Mayor Frank Rey William Regan James Margotta Joe Gulino (by fax) Irene Amato Robert Spencer Ronald Turnquist Demetrios Kringas 500\not1-004.tg 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
