Received a completed application and application fee; and 2. Requested, received and considered comments from the Village Engineer, Village Attorney, Village Planner and Building Inspector about the proposed Phase 3 Roads and Infrastructure which were provided in written form or discussed with the Board during the course of the Planning Board meetings 3. Requested, received and reviewed a Short Environmental Assessment Form; and 4. Held a duly noticed public hearing. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that having reviewed the entire record as noted above, in relation to the previously approved Special Permit and Riverfront Development Concept Plan, the Planning Board: 1. Considered Section 450-16.A(2)(a) of the Village Code which covers site plan review by the Planning Board and after a review of the documentation submitted by the Applicant, the Planning Board finds that the Application meets the riverfront development design standards set forth in Section 450-18 of the Village Code; 2. Considered Section 450-16.B(3) of the Village Code which requires a review of a site plan in comparison to the approved RDCP. During the course of the presentation and review of Phase 3 Roads and Infrastructure, the Planning Board noted that they needed input from the Village Board regarding consistency of certain proposed elements of the Site Plan with the approved RDCP, in particular the elimination of the proposed landscape median along Palisades Boulevard, the Page 4 of 11 �reconfiguration of the plaza roadway in between Blocks Q and R and lack of a dedicated right of way of the future roadway to be known as Sleepers Haven. The Village Board has provided direction to the Applicant and the Planning Board that based on current code standards and design alternatives presented, elimination of the landscape median was acceptable; that the balance of the plaza area not now proposed for roadway would become part of the overall waterfront open space to be planned and programmed accordingly; and that a right of way for Sleepers Haven must be shown on the current Site Plan drawings with the understanding that the eventual location will be coordinated with the development of Lot P and or Lot O. The Village Board felt that on balance the remainder of the Site Plan was consistent with the spirit and intent of the approved RDCP. The Planning Board notes that the Applicant's 7/8/19 submission includes a representation of the treatment of the plaza area in front of the proposed hotel lot (between Lots Q and R) that included the use of specialty pavers, said treatment is not currently shown on the proposed Site Plan. The Applicant has indicated that this design treatment will be addressed as part of the site plan application for the proposed hotel use. The eventual incorporation of the specialty paver treatment will need to be completed prior to acceptance of that portion of the Lighthouse Landing roadway; 3. Finds after review of the Waterfront Consistency determination prepared by the Board of Trustees for the RDCP, that the Application is consistent with the goals and policies of the Village of Sleepy Hollow LWRP; 4. Considered the Applicant's site phasing plan compared to that discussed in the July 24, 2007 Findings and notes that the construction phasing has been modified compared to that presented in the environmental review due to market and other considerations but notes that Findings Statement allows for flexibility in the proposed sequence of building construction; and, be it further RESOLVED, that the Planning Board, after review of the materials submitted, public comments and recommendations has determined that the Application does not present significant adverse environmental impacts not addressed or inadequately addressed in the comprehensive environmental review under SEQR conducted on behalf of the Village as part of the preparation Page 5 of 11 �of the Riverfront Development Concept Plan for the Project, and there are no changes in circumstances or newly discovered information presenting such potential impacts; and be it further RESOLVED, that having fully considered the environmental review record and supporting documentation, and having considered the preceding written facts and conclusions relied upon to meet the requirement of 6 NYCRR 617.7 and 617.11, the Planning Board confirms and restates previous certifications that: 1. The requirements of 6 NYCRR Part 617 have been met and fully satisfied; 2. Consistent with social, economic and other essential considerations, from among the reasonable alternatives available, the proposed Site Plan for Phase 3 Roads and Infrastructure is one which minimizes or avoids adverse environmental effects to the maximum extent practicable; including effects disclosed in the environmental impact statements; and 3. Consistent with social, economic and other essential considerations, the maximum extent practicable, adverse environmental effects revealed in the environmental impact statement process will be minimized or avoided by incorporating as conditions to the decision those mitigative measures that were identified as practicable. 4. Received, reviewed, and applied the Environmental Findings Statement and Amended Environmental Findings Statement adopted by the Board of Trustees, as SEQRA lead agency, on July 24, 2007, and January 25, 2011 (collectively, the "Environmental Findings"); and be it further. RESOLVED, the Planning Board hereby adopts the Environmental Findings as the Planning Board's involved agency environmental findings statement pursuant to 6 NYCRR Section 617.11(c), except that the Planning Board finds that the construction phasing presented in the Application differs from the construction phasing considered by the Board of Trustees as Lead Agency. However, the Planning Board notes that the Environmental Findings Statement dated July 24,2007, provides at page 117 "that the proposed sequencing of building construction should be flexible in order to allow for manageable detailed site plan review and provide an efficient development schedule [and the] proposed schedule of Building Group sequencing during the Page 6 of 11 �construction process shall be submitted to the Planning Board for review and approval during the site plan review process," and that the currently proposed construction phasing and sequencing presented in the Application is appropriate and will not have an adverse environmental impact; and be it further RESOLVED, that said Application is hereby granted approval and the Applicant may obtain the endorsed approval of the Planning Board Chair on a copy of this resolution and upon the site plan and preliminary plat drawings, subject to conditions and modifications identified below: 1. This approval shall expire if the following modifications and conditions have not been completed to the satisfaction of the Planning Board and the Village Building Department: submission of a satisfactory building permit application for construction of Phase 3 Roads and Infrastructure within one year of the date of the adoption of the site plan approval, subsequent construction commencing within six months of the date of building permit issuance and thereafter diligently pursued and construction completed within two years of the issuance of the building permit.
