It was unanimous. a) Historic preservation of the Village CodeJody Match was introduced. She presented a memo that she prepared from the existing Architectural Review Board Ordinance, which specifically contains the Historic �Preservation content. She stated that although the Architectural Review Board provides for Historic Preservation, it does not have any real power of preserving the historical attributes of the community. The memo calls for a Historic Preservation Commission. Local government certification would allow the Village to receive grants for historic preservation activity. Also, the proposed Ordinance would have jurisdiction over Historic landmarks and scenic designations. Nicholas Robinson stated that the Village could stabilize many of the landscapes on the Rockefeller property. Nicholas Robinson stated that the main concern for the Planning Board is the historic landscape on the Rockefeller Property as well as protection for the property owners around the old GM plant. Nicholas Robinson stated that the Planning Board will meet with the Architectural Review Board to discuss. b) County House & Bedford Road, LLC. Nicholas Robinson discussed the resolution that was adopted at the December 16, 1999 Planning Board meeting. The expanded EAF would be circulated to a distribution list and made available to the public. At the Planning Board's February 17, 2000 meeting, final comments will be received. A public hearing will also take place on this date. The Planning Board and the applicant agreed that the public hearing should also include the sub-division hearing. The Chair added a resolve clause to give notice for a public hearing on February 17,2000 to receive comments on the expanded EAF and also convene a public hearing on subdivision approval. George Tanner made a motion to adopt the draft resolution. Ed McCarthy seconded. It was unanimous. Jim Margotta stated that the notice must be circulated to all properties within 200 feet. The Chair asked the applicant how they intended to handle the pond. The applicant responded that they are trying to work it out with the Village Engineers to do what is practical. As far as ownership was concerned, the applicant stated that they would like to establish a separate escrow account for the pond. Ed Lammers stated that 20 days notice is needed. Planning Board Meeting, January 20, 2000 �c) Philipsburg Manor This is a continuation of the public hearing on the dredging of the Philipsburg Manor pond. The applicant has been in contact with the DEC and Army Corps of Engineers. The restoration has two parts: 1) Restoring and getting it back to how it looked before. No permits are needed for this work. 2) Providing some protection against future occurrences. This was broken down into two parts. a) An overflow structure would be added. It would be about 12'x8' that would be 1'2' above the existing water level. b) In addition, a sub-surface diversion wall would also be added. This would divert any high floods. They stated these methods would provide flood relief in a controlled manner. The Chair stated that this didn't require any actions by the Planning Board. The Chair stated that the applicant needed approval by the Planning Board of the revision of the EAF and a conclusion that the Planning Board adopts the resolution approving the nrr»ir»rt i J Dave Smith stated that the applicant needed to circulate the proposals for comment with the DEC, Parks & Recreation, County, Army Corps of Engineers and State. The applicant stated that the Army Corps of Engineers wants them to restore wetlands. The applicant stated that it is not possible to restore wetlands. The Chair stated that the wetlands in question are where that sedimentation basin would be. It is currently used as an overflow parking lot. The applicant displayed a drawing that displayed the wetlands. They discussed replacing the wetlands at another site. The Chair stated that the Planning Board needs an amended document for circulation to see if any comments come in and to hold a final public hearing. Once the Planning Board approves the resolution, other required approvals would be conditional for the applicant. d) Riverfront text changes The Chair stated that a meeting needs to be scheduled with the Waterfront Revitalization Committee since they are an advisory committee to the Planning Board. Planning Board Meeting, January 20, 2000 �There has been one discussion already on the Cooney property and the Waterfront Rcvitalization Committee was not involved. The Planning Board determined that the scale of the development was too dense. The entire discussion occurred without the Waterfront Revitalization Committee having any input. The Planning Board will reach out to the Waterfront Revitalization Committee to get them involved. Dave Smith stated that the density on the Cooney property should not be applied to the GM property. There should be a very dense residential portion. The Chair stated that there should be a recommendation to the Village Board to adopt the changes. David Perlmutter made a motion to adopt. George Tanner seconded. It was approved unanimously. e) Review and Recreation fees Review fees The Chair stated that the current level of $2500 is too low.

The Board discussed the need for different fees for different sized projects. The Board agreed that a graduated scale is needed. It was decided that a proposal would be developed at the next meeting and the results would be brought to the Village Board for approval. Recreation fees The Village's recreation fees were compared to other similar areas such as Briarcliff Manor and Rye Brook. The recreation fees for these areas were much higher than Sleepy Hollow's. The Chair stated that the recreation fees need to be brought up to match these comparable areas. Recommendations will be made to the Village Board. Jim Margotta stated that plumbing fees, electrical fees, etc need to be brought up as well. The Chair stated that a list would be generated of all fees. This list will be given to the Mayor for the purpose of reviewing and possibly bringing these fees in line with other comparable areas.
