PRESENT: James Galgano, Chairman Ellen Tsangaris Steve Baderian Richard Ayers Steve Salman Edward McCarthy Roman Windas ALSO PRESENT: Robert Spencer, Attorney James Margotta, Building Inspector Thomas Gissen, Frederick P. Clark Associates, Inc. Joseph Gulino, Charles A. Manganaro Consulting Engineers Chairman Galgano called the meeting to order at 8 P.M. 1. Preliminary Hearing-Hudson Canyon Construction, 281 North Broadway-Renovation and Repair. T.J. Muldoon representing Hudson Canyon Construction presented plans to the Board for the project. He stated that the building in its present condition was an eyesore and it was his intention to renovate the building on the site for use as an office, garage and two residential apartments. At the present time it is a garage with apartments on the second floor. Several variances would be needed as the pre-existing non-conforming site conditions would not be grandfathered due to the extensive proposed renovations. After a discussion Chairman Galgano referred Mr. Muldoon to the Zoning Board of Appeals for the necessary variances, stating if the variances were granted he could appear before the Planning Board at the December meeting. Mr. Gissen, Planning Consultant for the Village, presented a memorandum of comments about the proposed site plan. Mr. Gulino, Consulting Engineer for the Village, presented a memorandum regarding comments as to potable water, sewage and storm drainage. (Copy in official minutes). 1 �2. Public Hearing-David Rockefeller-Approval of sub-division Webber Avenue-Section 17, Block 4, Lot A23 Clerk read the public notice to hear and consider an application by David Rockefeller for approval of a sub-division of premises on Webber Avenue, Tarrytown, New York and shown as Section 17, Block 4, Lot A23 on the tax assessment map of the Village of North Tarrytown. Chairman Galgano asked if there was anyone present who would like to address the Board. Mr. John Cahill, attorney representing Mr. Rockefeller, stated the purpose of the sub-division is to create a new separate lot for an existing building. A second proposed lot initially shown on the map will not be created at this time. Any required easement to provide access to Webber Avenue from the new lot will be provided. Mr. Gulino, Consulting Engineer for the Village, presented a memorandum regarding topography, location of existing site features, including wetlands, fire hydrants, sewage, drainage and potable water. (Copy in official minutes). Mr. Thomas Gissen, Planner for the Village, presented a memorandum regarding the comments of Frederick P. Clark Associates, Inc. (Copy in official minutes). Mr. Tom Gissen raised the issue whether the applicant needed a variance for a pre-existing building on the new lot which exceeded the maximum height limitation by reason of the creation of a new lot line near the building. No changes would be made to the existing building. Village Attorney Robert Spencer stated his opinion that no variance would be required. There being no further comments to come before the Board, Mr. McCarthy moved, seconded by Mr. Ayers that the hearing be closed. Carried unanimously. The Board determined that the proposed sub-division is an unlisted action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act and that the proposed action will not result in any large and important impact and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on the environment. After a discussion, Mr. McCarthy moved, seconded by Ms. Tsangaris that the sub-division be approved as requested and that a one acre parcel be created from the parcel known as Section 17, Block 4, Lot A23 on the tax assessment map of the Village. Carried unanimously. 2 �3. Public Hearing-David Rockefeller-Approval of sub-division of premises on 132 Bedford Road-Section 17, Block 18 Lot B17. Clerk read the public notice to hear and consider an application by David Rockefeller for approval of a sub-division of premises on 132 Bedford Road, North Tarrytown, New York and shown as Section 17, Block 18, Lot B17 on the tax assessment map of the Village of North Tarrytown. Chairman Galgano asked if there was anyone present who would like to address the Board. Mr. John Cahill, attorney for the applicant, discussed the proposed sub-division. Mr. Gulino, Consulting Engineer for the Village, presented memorandum regarding storm water, sewage, potable water and proposed and existing site plan. (Copy in official minutes). Mr. Thomas Gissen, Planner for the Village, presented a memorandum regarding the comments of Frederick P. Clark Associates, Inc. (Copy in official minutes). Mr. Thomas Gissen raised the issue whether the applicant could be required to dedicate to New York State land needed to widen Route 448 to the minimum standard currently required by New York State. Village Attorney Robert Spencer stated his opinion that New York law did not provide clear authority for the Planning Board to require the dedication of such additional property as part of the process of approving the proposed subdivision, but that the issue is academic because the applicant has offered to convey the required property to New York State without charge. John Cahill confirmed that David Rockefeller has offered to convey the property to New York State without charge to widen Route 448. There being no further comments to come before the Board, Mr. McCarthy moved, seconded by Mr. Ayers, that the hearing be closed. Carried unanimously. The Board determined that the proposed sub-division is an unlisted action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act and that the proposed action will not result in any large and important impact and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on the environment. After a discussion, Mr. McCarthy moved, seconded by Mr. Ayers that approval be granted for a sub-division of premises on 132 Bedford Road, North Tarrytown, and shown as Section 17 Block 18, Lot B17 on the assessment map of the Village of North Tarrytown. Carried unanimously. 3 �4. Public Hearing-Sleepy Hollow Cemetery-Application for the grant or waiver of a wetlands permit.

Mr. Larry Nardecchia, Consulting Engineer for the Cemetery, presented final plans with all of the agreed upon changes and modifications. There was a discussion concerning the area of the wetlands impacted by the proposed project, and the authority of the Board to waive or modify provisions of the Wetlands Ordinance. Thereupon, Mr. McCarthy moved, seconded by Mr. Salman, that the following resolutions be adopted: RESOLVED, that the Planning Board acting as lead agency, has determined that the issuance of a wetlands permit to the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in connection with the proposed filing and drainage project, containing proposed mitigation measures, is an unlisted type action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act, and that the project will not result in any large and important impact and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on the environment. 4 �RESOLVED, that the Planning Board of the Village of North Tarrytown has determined that the total amount of Wetlands area to be disturbed by the project proposed by the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery Association is less than one-tenth (1/10) of an acre; RESOLVED, that the applicant be required to file only a short-form application for a wetlands permit which shall include only the information required by Sections 61-10-A(1) through (6)(c) and A(7); RESOLVED, that a wetlands permit be issued to the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery Association in connection with the proposed project to create additional grave sites subject to the following conditions: (1) the water quality of the stream in the area of the project will not be contravened by sedimentation as the result of direct run-off from construction activities or final grading of the ravine.

RESOLVED, that the Planning Board waive any mitigation requirements of Section 61-13 of the Wetlands Ordinance, except as provided in these resolutions.
