The following are our comments on the Draft Scoping Outline submitted on behalf of
County House Road LLC (the Applicant) and dated December 15,2000. The draft
Scoping Outline has been revised to incorporate comment* raised at the public
scoping session and during the formal comment period. Some of the comments
contained herein reflect concerns raised by the Board. It ia important for the Board at
this point in the process to be aware of the objectives of the scoping process. The
scoping process has six main objectives:
Identify the relevant environmental issues and provide the preparers with the
specific issues to be addressed;
Eliminate irrelevant issues and de-emphasize nonsignificant issues;
Identity the extent and quality of information needed;
Identify the range of reasonable alternatives to be diicusted;
Identify potential areas of mitigation; and
Identify available sources of information'.

Once adoptedt the scoping document will become the outline for the content of the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement Hie SEQR Handbook goes on to note that a
draft EIS does not need to be perfect The DEIS should contain a discussion of
information, including significant impacts, alternatives and mitigation measures
requested by the lead agency in a reasonable level of detail, The purpose of the public
comment period is to allow all involved agencies and the public to review the draft
EIS and comment on its inadequacies. These can usually be corrected in a final EIS2.
Accordingly, the following comments are provided for the Board's consideration
prior to adopting the formal scoping outline.

Within the discussionfollowingthe Proposed Action heading if is suggested that the following

action was previously before the Sleepy Hollow Planning Board for
prefanmary subdivision approval. On May 1,2000, after an extensive review
process the Planning Board issued a negative declaration based on the substantial

decision was subsequently vacated in a September 26,2000 ruling by the New
York Supreme Court The preliminary subdivision approval was vacated and
encased with further instructionsfromthe court that no appro vaii would b«
granted until an EIS has been preyaied by the Applicant for the entire 60 acres.
