ASLA MEMORANDUM To: North Tarrytown Planning Board Date: February 20, 1992 Subject: Antonio Cabinetry Site Plan Application The purpose of this memorandum is to provide our on-going analysis of the applicant's site plan submissions for the development of a furniture shop, to be located in an existing structure situated on the east side of Route 9 (Broadway), approximately 140 feet north of Gordon Avenue. The applicant's latest submissions include the following: "Map of Property Prepared for Antonio Cabinetry Situate in the Village of North Tarrytown, Town of Mount Pleasant, Westchester Co., New York," dated February 1, 1992 and prepared by John J. Muldoon, New York State Licensed Surveyor. "Proposed Antonio Cabinetry, Village of North Tarrytown, New York," Site Plan, Sheet 1, dated December 19, 1991, last revised February 4, 1992 and prepared by Contadino Architects, AIA. "Antonio Cabinetry, Village of North Tarrytown, New York," site section, sheet 2, dated January 2, 1992, last revised January 15, 1992 and prepared by Contadino Architects, AIA. Letter to the Village of North Tarrytown Zoning Board of Appeals, dated February 10, 1992 and from Steven L. Kroleski, Attorney for the applicant. �FREDERICK P. CLARK ASSOCIATES, INC. Planning, Development/Environment/Transportation The applicant's revised plans, as well as the letter from his Attorney have provided most of the information necessary to address those concerns previously raised by the Planning Board of the Village of North Tarrytown (the Board) and by this office. However, whereas the previously submitted plans and statements by the applicant appeared to indicate that the subject site was an independent lot within a larger property, the new submissions now show the entire property the applicant proposes to purchase to be one un-subdivided lot. The entire property is significantly larger than the area identified within the project limit line and maintains the potential for additional development. As we have noted in our previous memorandums and in comments before the Board, the parking proposed for this use is somewhat tight. Previously, we were left with the impression that this was an existing site with a pre-existing condition limiting its parking and circulation to the area shown on the site plan. While the arrangement of the two structures located on the entire property and shown on the "Map of Property" does tend to limit the area that can be used conveniently as parking for the proposed cabinetry shop, we feel that a better parking arrangement would be feasible if the remaining portion of the site were to be redeveloped and the structure located therein were removed or relocated. For this reason, we would recommend that any approvals that may be forthcoming with regards to the cabinetry shop application be conditioned upon a requirement that the cabinet shop's parking area be re-examined whenever an application is made for the redevelopment of the remainder of the property. In this way, at some point in the future, it may be possible to improve upon the tight parking and circulation area shown on this plan. This concludes our comments at this time.

Meder, AICP Jim Donovan, RLA, ASLA MEMORANDUM To: North Tarrytown Planning Board Date: February 20, 1992 Subject: Phelps Memorial Hospital Site Plan Approval Outstanding Issues _ _ At the Planning Board meeting of January 16, 1992, this office recommended that the North Tarrytown Planning Board (the Board) withhold making a determination of significance under SEQR pending the submission of some additional engineering and site planning information. To date, the requisite information has not been supplied. Based upon a discussion with the Village of North Tarrytown Engineering Consultant, Joe Gulino, we understand that information regarding the site's storm sewer drainage, which discharges into the Hudson River, as well as the site's increased sanitary sewage flow, has not been supplied. It is imperative that this information be supplied and analyzed prior to the Planning Board making a determination of environmental significance, as required by the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR). Once this information has been submitted, we believe that the Planning Board will, in all likelihood, be in a position to make a positive or negative declaration under SEQR. A resolution of site plan approval for the proposed office building cannot be adopted until a determination of environmental significance has been made with regard to this Type I Action (see memorandum from this office of November 19, 1991). Furthermore, the issue of how to best address the tax assessment status of the proposed office building and ancillary parking must be addressed prior to the drafting and adoption of a resolution of site plan approval. It is our understanding that counsel for the applicant and counsel for the Village are currently in discussions as to how best to resolve the tax rateable status of this property. If it is determined that a subdivision will be required, then an application, inclusive of full subdivision plans, must be submitted. It is our initial expectation that such a subdivision would necessarily require that certain variances be granted by the �FREDERICK P. CLARK ASSOCIATES, INC. Planning/Development /Environment /Transportation Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). Consequently, the issue of how best to resolve the tax status of the office structure and ancillary parking should be resolved prior to the drafting and adoption of a resolution of site plan approval for this proposed office structure. Additionally, there are several minor site planning issues that should be resolved. As we indicated in our memorandum of November 19, 1991, the plan should be amended to indicate pavement markings and traffic circulation signage. Also, we feel it is important that the applicant address the concerns we raised in our November 19, 1991 memorandum regarding the viability of the applicant's plan to protect certain identified significant trees. Specifically, we remain concerned that the parking plan may not provide a substantial enough area of porous soils within the drip lines of some of the significant trees the applicant has indicated he is prepared to preserve. This issue would appear to be readily resolvable but most likely will require some minor adjustments to the proposed parking plan. Lastly, while the applicant has removed proposed grading from its location immediately north of the subject site, on adjoining property owned by the State of New York, the applicant has shown a grading plan indicating a slope of approximately 1:1, or 100%. Based upon our discussion with Joe Gulino, it appears that the applicant should either revise these grading plans to show a slope no steeper than 1:2 (50%) or the applicant should provide a technical analysis of the rock formation in the area proposed for this 1:1 slope. In conclusion, we believe that it is necessary for the applicant address the issues of storm water runoff and sanitary sewage flow prior to the Planning Board making a determination of significance under SEQR. Furthermore, the question of the need for a subdivision of this property as part of its taxable assessment should be resolved prior to the drafting of any resolution of site plan approval. In order to draft this resolution, we must know whether it will be necessary to condition the resolution upon the granting of a subdivision by the Planning Board and the granting of any associated variances by the ZBA. As soon as we have received conformation from the Village Engineering Consultant that the drainage and sanitary sewage information is satisfactory and we have received information from the Village Counsel that the issues regarding the tax assessment of this property have been satisfactorily resolved, we shall draft a resolution of environmental significance under SEQR and a resolution of site plan approval, if appropriate. 2 I �FREDERICK P.

ASLA MEMORANDUM To: North Tarrytown Planning Board Date: February 20, 1992 Subject: Fisher Site Plan The purpose of this memorandum provide our analysis of the above noted application for site plan approval. In support of the application the applicant has submitted the following plans: "Survey of Property Prepared for Mary E. Fisher," dated September 23, 1991 and prepared by Charles Riley, Land Surveyor. "Topography Mary E. Fisher," dated December 20, 1991, last revised January 22, 1992 and prepared by Charles Riley, Land Surveyor. Based upon our discussion with the applicant's attorney, John Hughes, Jr. Esq., our review of the submitted plans and a site visit, it is our understanding that the applicant is requesting site plan approval to reconstruct an existing fire damaged structure to its original design and condition. This structure is located on the south side of Beekman Avenue, in the C-2, Highway Commercial district, of the Village of North Tarrytown. Site plan approval from the Planning Board is required under § 6229.A.(1) of the Code of the Village of North Tarrytown (the Code). Additionally, this use and development of this site prior to its being damaged by fire was not in conformity with the requirements of Chapter 62, Zoning, of the Code. The fire damage to this structure appears fairly extensive. Under § 62-24.C. of the Code, any "structure damaged by fire or other causes to an extent exceeding fifty percent (50%) or more of its theoretical full value...shall not be repaired or rebuilt except in conformity with the regulations of this ordinance." Consequently, if the applicant proposes to rebuild the structure to its former condition, several variances probably will be required. Based upon our initial review, we believe that the required variances include the following: \ �•*% FREDERICK P. CLARK ASSOCIATES, INC. Planning/Development /Environment /Transportation o A use variance to re-establish the four apartments. The only types of residential units permitted in the C-2 district are one- and two-family homes. o A parking variance for failing to provide the requisite number of parking spaces. Section 6214.E. of the Code requires that one parking space per 200 square feet of retail area, one parking space per dwelling unit and one-half parking space per bedroom be provided. The applicant should provide information on the number of square feet of retail area and the number of bedrooms that will exist in the rebuilt structure so that an accurate variance application can be processed. Pending the submission of additional information, this concludes our comments at this time.
