County House Road Antonio Rodriguez Nicholas Cicchetti made a motion to approve agenda. George Tanner seconded. It was unanimous. a) Village Historian The Chair stated that the Sleepy Hollow Taxpayers Association would like the Planning Board to move faster in the ARB provision with respect to the Historic Preservation Ordinance. The Chair stated that this would be reviewed at the Planning Board's next work session. It would be referred to the Village Board after the Planning Board's next meeting (April). The Chair also stated that the draft rules of procedure would also be worked on at the next Planning Board work session and referred to the Village Board after the Planning Board's next meeting (April). Tom Julius (applicant for County House Road) asked if the ordinance was already in place. The Chair stated that it was already enacted but is in a format that cannot be certified by the New York State Certified Local Historic Preservation Ordinance Program. This �$ version will be simplified. This version will give the ARB jurisdiction over new buildings and landmarks. A specialized Board will concentrate on heritage sites and on district design process. b) OmnipointA draft positive declaration has been circulated previously. A notice to intend to prepare the environmental impact statement was discussed at the last work session. This is a concern to the Planning Boards since this is the third use of the site and the height has been increased. The Board wants to assess the cumulative impact of the use of the site. The Board felt that these items warranted a positive declaration. George Tanner inquired if the applicant had come up with anything further to mitigate the findings of the positive declaration. Dave Smith stated that he was in touch with the applicant and they had not come up with any alternatives to these issues yet. Nick Ward Willis (Omnipoint Attorney) stated that his client (Omnipoint) has not seen the draft positive declaration. A copy was provided to Mr. Willis. • The Chair stated that the reason the resolution was issued was because the original applicant stated that when the first tower was approved there would be no further use of that site. Omnipoint is the third user. Mr. Willis stated that the application packet includes a study of other sites that were not available for Omnipoint's use. The Chair read a draft resolution to declare itself lead agency. Ed Napoleon made a motion to adopt. George Tanner seconded. The Chair stated that the Board has requested that Phelps Memorial submit (for each of the prior two applications) medical evidence that there is no adverse effect on the hospital or patients. Each time, the hospital has issued a letter stating that they do not object to the development. The hospital did not have to look at a cumulative impact on three sites. i' 1 Mr. Willis stated that the application packet includes a RF study on existing and proposed use. They are within the FCC guidelines. The Chair stated that the Board would study this. m || George Tanner inquired if the necessary recreation fees have been paid to the Village.

The Chair also stated that the Board should get the advice of the Waterfront Advisory Committee before it completes its analysis on the dredging. The Chair asked the Village Planner (Dave Smith) to forward a copy of the proposed action and a complete set of the files on the dredging to the Waterfront Advisory Committee. Nicholas Cicchetti inquired about the interaction of the Waterfront Advisory Committee and the Planning Board. The Chair stated that the Board needs to invite the Waterfront Advisory Committee in to discuss the interaction between the two groups. The Chair then read Section 59a-5 of the Village Code aloud. The section stated that when a proposed action is located in a Village of coastal area, an agency shall make a decision that is consistent with the LWRP. In paragraph-c it states that an agency shall refer a complete coastal form to the advisory committee within 10 days of its submission. The agency, prior to its determination, shall then consider the recommendation with consistency of the proposed action. The Chair stated that the Board is not bound by the committee's recommendation but they have to listen to it. The Chair stated that the applicant would be at the Waterfront Advisory Committees meeting to walk them through their proposed plan. The Chair stated that in the future, the Board will refer a complete coastal form to the advisory committee within 10 days of its submission so that this back and forth referral process would be eliminated. Nicholas Cicchetti stated that consistency is the most critical item in this process. The Chair made a motion to refer this matter to the Waterfront Advisory Committee. It was unanimous.
