AICP Consultant Land Development Comprehensive Planning Zoning Real Estate Economics jonmental Studies ng ommunity Development Tomn �DRAFT February 6,2001 Scoping Document For the Draft Environmental Impact Statement For County House Road, LLC Subdivision Village of Sleepy Hollow, New York Proposed Action: The proposed action is an application from County House Road, LLC (the applicant/sponsor) for subdivision approval of an eleven (11) lot cluster subdivision, situated on approximately 11.9 acres of land in the Village of Sleepy Hollow, Town of Mt. Pleasant, Westchester County, New York, and located at the intersection of Bedford Road (State Route 448) and County House Road, a Village road (Parcel 1A on the attached Area Map). In addition to subdivision approval from the Village of Sleepy Hollow Planning Board, Highway Work Permits are required from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) for subsurface utility work and for the relocation of an existing driveway curb cut and closure of another existing curb cut, and Westchester County Health Department approvals of the Realty Subdivision, and of the water and sanitary sewer facilities are also required. The proposed action was previously before the Sleepy Hollow Planning Board for preliminary subdivision approval. On May 1, 2000, after an extensive review process, the Planning Board issued a negative declaration based on a stated Findings of Fact which reflected the substantial information presented in an expanded Environmental Assessment Form. That decision was subsequently annulled in a September 26, 2000 ruling by the New York Supreme Court, which required the preparation of a DEIS taking into account the potential development of the applicant's Tarrytown properties. Neither the Negative Declaration nor the Findings of Fact are a part of this environmental process. The property is situated in an R-l One Family Residence/Open Development District which typically requires a minimum lot size of 43,560 sq. ft., however, the Village of Sleepy Hollow Board of Trustees has adopted a cluster authorization relative to the subject property, which allows, among other things, Planning Board approval of a cluster subdivision with lots having a minimum lot size of 30,000 sq. ft. The property is also adjacent to the municipal boundary with the Village of Tarrytown. While not a part of the proposed action, the applicant is under common control with five separate limited liability companies which hold title to an additional 48 acres in the Village of Tarrytown consisting of 5 contiguous and non-contiguous parcels (the "Tarrytown Properties") that are located adjacent to and within approximately lA and Vi mile from the subject property (Parcels IB, 2,3,4, and 5 on the attached Area Map). Where relevant, the cumulative impact of the potential development of those properties under recently enacted low density residential zoning (R-60 and R-80) will be discussed in the DEIS. It is estimated that a total of approximately 24 lots could be accommodated on the Tarrytown Properties taking into consideration all relevant Tarrytown regulations including zoning, and steep slope and wetland requirements, etc. �Classification of Action: The proposed action is a Type I Action due to its proximity to a property that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (Kykuit - the Rockefeller Estate). Lead Agency: Planning Board of the Village of Sleepy Hollow Village of Sleepy Hollow Village Hall 28 Beekman Avenue Sleepy Hollow, New York 10591 Scoping Session: December 4, 2000, 8:00 PM Village of Sleepy Hollow Village Hall Meeting Room 28 Beekman Avenue Sleepy Hollow, New York 10591 End of Comment Period: December 14, 2000 GENERAL GUIDELINES: The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) should cover all items in this scoping document. The DEIS should conform to the format outlined in this scope. For the specific issues identified in the scoping process, the DEIS will provide a topic-by-topic analysis of existing conditions, anticipated impacts, and mitigation measures designed to mitigate the identified impacts. For the sake of clarity, these issues should not be segmented and revisited in subsequent chapters of the DEIS. Impacts should be described as either short term construction related impacts, or long term impacts. Where relevant, cumulative impacts should be discussed, specifically, with respect to the potential development of approximately 48 contiguous and noncontiguous acres located to the south of the subject property in the Village of Tarrytown, zoned R-60 and R-80, and owned by separate limited liability companies under common control with the applicant. Unless otherwise specified herein, the items to be discussed in the DEIS pertain to the proposed action in the Village of Sleepy Hollow. If appropriate, impact issues listed separately in this outline may be combined in the DEIS, provided that all issues to be included are clearly addressed. Narrative discussions should be accompanied by appropriate tables, charts, graphs, and figures wherever appropriate. If a particular subject can be most effectively described in graphic format, the narrative discussion should merely summarize and highlight the information presented graphically. Information should be presented in a manner that can be easily understood by the public. Efforts should be made to avoid the use of technical jargon. When practical, impacts should be described in terms that the lay person can readily understand. i �The document should be written in the third person (i.e. the terms "we" and "our" should not be used). The applicant's conclusions and opinions, if given, should be identified as those of the "applicant." The DEIS should be organized according to the following sections: FRONT MATERIAL A. B. C. I. Cover Sheet: The DEIS must begin with a cover sheet that identifies the following: 1. That it is a Draft Environmental Impact Statement 2. The name or descriptive title of the action 3.

The deadline by which comments on the DEIS are due (to be inserted later) List of Consultants Involved with the project: The names, and addresses of individuals or organizations that prepared any portion of the DEIS should be listed. Table of Contents: All major headings that appear in the text should be presented in the Table of Contents along with appropriate page numbers. In addition, the Table of Contents should include a list offigures,a list oftables, a list of appendix items and a list of additional DEIS volumes, if any. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The DEIS must include an executive summary, to be organized as follows: A brief description of the proposed action List of involved agencies and required approvals/permits Brief listing of the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures Brief description of the project alternatives considered in the DEIS. 3 �Brief description of the relevant cumulative impacts associated with the potential development of the 48 acre Tarrytown Properties located in the Village of Tarrytown II.
