Approval- Public Hearing
The Board received an adjournment request from the Applicant on September 19, 2024, to
provide time to review information they received from the New York State Office of Cannabis
Management. The public hearing was adjourned to the October 17, 2024 meeting. Several
written comments were received (See attached Exhibit #s 1 – 9)
5. Toll Landscape LLC, 213 Palisades Blvd., Proposed larger pergola with screens
Amended Site Plan &amp; Architectural Review Approval – Presentation
Karin Magnuson stated that she lives at 213 Palisades Blvd. She stated that her 2022 sales
contract and closing documents with Toll Brothers agreed to install a 10’ x 16’9” motorized
pergola with motorized screens. When Toll Landscape filed for a Building Permit in April 2023
to replace the installed 10’ x 12’ pergola, they were informed that the application required
Planning Board Approval. Ms. Magnuson stated that the Planning Board expressed concerns
about the retractable screens' aesthetics and precedent-setting nature. At the May meeting the
applicant stated that the screens' main purpose was insect protection. Ms. Magnuson stated that
solar protection is the main goal from the retractable screens. Ms. Magnuson described her
autoimmune and immunocompromised conditions and stated that she purchased a premium park
and river-facing unit with full sun exposure with the understanding that the pergola design and
screens would be installed. Ms. Magnuson stated that approving her application would not create
3

(9/19/24)

�a precedent because Toll Brothers and the Edge-on-Hudson Home Owners Association
confirmed that they have not offered, and will not approve future requests for retractable screens
from homeowners. Ms. Magnuson presented renderings to show the screens' appearance and
stated that screens would not be down more than two hours in a given day and that they don’t
need to be fully closed to provide the protection she requires. Ms. Magnuson provided
photographs of alternate sun protection using umbrellas and pop-up sunshade tents and stated
that she doesn’t believe the alternatives are aesthetic solutions. Ms. Magnuson presented
photographs of the views of her unit from the ground, the screen color options, and the size of
the pergola.
The Planning Board reviewed the screen samples.
Chris Camia asked Ms. Magnuson to clarify the pergola size, showing where the existing pergola
structure extends on the terrace.
Ms. Magnuson described where the existing structure ends and stated that the proposed pergola
ends 18 inches before the front edge of the building because of the roof scuppers.
Clare Trappasso asked Ms. Magnuson if Toll Brothers or the Edge-on-Hudson HOA put the
pergola restrictions for future homeowners in writing and if Toll Brothers has encountered cases
similar to hers.
Ms. Magnuson stated that she has a written document from Toll Landscape and can request that
the HOA provide the restrictions in writing. Toll Brothers said they have not received similar
requests for the Edge-on-Hudson development.
Chairperson Krakauer asked if the sun penetrates the terrace's front and sides.
Ms. Magnuson stated that the sun penetrates mostly at the front and one side of the terrace.
Chris Camia asked if the same company manufactures the pergola and solar screens or if the
screens are retrofitted.
Ms. Manguson stated that although a different vendor manufactures the screens, the same
company will install the pergola and screens together.
Benjamin Nielsen stated that the Board has received other requests from owners who desire to
enhance or add aftermarket pergolas. Consistency is the best way to ensure that applicants follow
the same guidelines as part of the architectural review approval process. Since pergolas add an
architectural element to the building, the Board has defined pergolas to include restrictions of
75% limited floor area coverage and 75% openness for the roof.
Ms. Magnuson said that Toll Landscape told her that she was the only person who requested
pergola screens and asked if the Board has received other applications.
Sean McCarthy stated the Planning Board is working on the design challenges of a pergoloa
application submitted for the Block H development. Applications have been received for the
4

(9/19/24)

�Block E development, and other inquiries have been received related to the Block O&amp;P
development.
Mr. Nieslen asked Ms. Magnuson if there was a way to achieve sun protection while leaving
75% of the side areas open.
Ms. Magnuson stated that she may not have purchased this lot if she had known the pergola
screens would be an issue. The retractable screens are more aesthetic and structurally sound than
anchored umbrellas. She would agree to limit the screens to 25% down.
Mr. Camia asked if she would consider keeping the current size of the pergola with the
retractable screens.
Joshua Subin stated that written restrictions from Toll Brothers or the Edge-on-Hudson
Homeowners Association could be submitted for the record but may not be binding on future
applications as there wouldn’t be a contract between the Village and the developers. The Board
could consider them if the HOA bylaws included the restrictions.
Richard Gross asked Ms. Magnuson if she would have control over limiting the screens to close
only a quarter of the way down.
Mr. McCarthy stated that there might be a manual stop-limit switch option that the manufacturer
could install.
David Smith asked Mr. Subin if a condition could be added to the resolution requiring the
screens to be removed if the unit is sold.
Mr. Subin stated that it could be an agreement with the homeowner, but it could not be a
mandatory condition of approval.
Ms. Magnuson said she would agree to the condition as she is not planning on moving.
Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board would consider her presentation and adjourn for a
discussion at the October 17, 2024 meeting.
6. One Kingsland Owner, LLC, 308-318 Legend Drive, Proposed (6) unit townhome
building, Amended Site Plan &amp; Architectural Review Approval – Preliminary
Presentation
Bill McGuiness stated that he is from SunHomes. Mr. McGuiness stated that the building would
include six units, two 22-foot-wide end units and four 20-foot-wide interior units. He intends to
follow the design guidelines related to the “Kit of Parts” elements related to balconies, bay
windows, and brick color. The massing is proposed to step in and out by two feet, with the
parapet height lines going up and down by one foot with black railing. The proposed changes
include two-story bay elements on the two end units and a one-story mid-block recessed bay
with a balcony and awning over it. Exterior spaces will have a patio below and a deck above it.
Mr. McGuiness stated that he received the review letter and clarification notes have been added,
and the changes have been made, including adding more windows to the side elevation of the
5

(9/19/24)

�ground floor. He requested not changing the details related to those identical to the approved kit
of parts items from the previously approved building and cited the shrouds around the HVAC
equipment as an example.
Chris Camia stated that the on-site constructed HVAC shrouds are not enclosed, and the
equipment is visible to homeowners. Mr. Camia suggested that fully enclosing the HVAC
equipment would improve the visual element of a dense development site.
Mr. McGuiness stated that the application proposes an enclosure with three-foot openings for
equipment access. Since the equipment would face the ends of the building and not the front, he
doesn’t see angles where exposed equipment would be visible from below.
Mr. Camia suggested using a secure removable panel without changing the material or making it
a parapet wall. The equipment's visibility relates to its impact on the homeowners' view from
fourth-floor balconies.
Mr. McGuiness stated that he would add panels for the mechanical equipment enclosure.
Chairperson Krakauer stated that the delineation of the vertical lines and staggering of the
building at the rear elevation seem uniform compared to the front elevations.
Mr. McGuiness stated that he would consider changing the proportions of the window sizes and
patterns and periodically raising and lowering the tops of the bays along the back.
Mr. Camia asked if the bricks would be different colors from unit to unit.
Mr. McGuiness stated that two different brick colors are proposed from unit to unit.
Benjamin Nielsen asked Mr. McGuiness to describe the proposed trees between the units.
Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. McGuiness if the drainage for the planter boxes was sufficient.
Mr. McGuiness stated that the trees proposed between the units are an important design element.
Honey locust trees were suggested for handling the wind load and unattentive watering. The
drainage for the planter boxes is worked out. The design intends to create privacy between the
units without fencing and walls.
Richard Gross suggested using bushes between the units and stated that the Honey Locust trees
grow tall and would not provide privacy.
Mr. McGuiness stated that the trees are an architectural gesture and not intended to provide
privacy.
Mr. Nieslen asked if the option for elevators will be offered, how accessibility would be
provided at the front of the units and if all the units have a uniform number of front steps.
Mr. McGuiness stated that accessibility access would be provided from the garage and that no
accommodations are proposed from the front of the units. The architectural renderings do not
6

(9/19/24)

�match the civil plans, which detail the steps correctly. He will add notes to the architectural
illustrations to show how the steps differ from unit to unit.
Mr. Nielsen asked if pergolas or shade structures are proposed for the fourth floor.
Mr. McGuiness stated that he plans to offer solutions that do not include a structure on the fourth
floor. He is considering awnings or overhangs to provide options to expand coverage of the
outdoor spaces.
Mr. Nielsen requested that the proposed option for the fourth-floor outdoor spaces be included
and submitted with the current application.
Chairperson Krakauer requested that Mr. McGuiness consider fabric alternatives for the awnings
and submit detailed renderings and material specifications.
Mr. McGuiness stated that he would submit a sample of the awning fabric.
Chris Camia asked if the Home Owner’s Association (“ HOA”) would be responsible for the
warranty and replacement of the awnings and if an extended warranty would be offered.
Mr. McGuiness stated that he is not prepared to discuss the details of extending the
manufacturer's warranty. The HOA would be responsible for it.
Mr. Nielsen requested that the gas meter locations and proposed screening be submitted on the
drawings.
Mr. McGuiness stated that he intends to cluster the meters on the ends of the buildings so they
are not visible from prominent building elevations. He will submit details for the meter locations
and the proposed screening.
James Natarelli asked if the end unit fireplaces include exhausts on the end walls.
Mr. McGuiness stated that the fireplaces would be ventless and not offered in bedrooms. All air
intakes and exhaust penetrations, besides the bathroom exhaust, vent through the roof.
Chairperson Krakauer adjourned the application to the October 17, 2024 meeting.
No action was taken.

7. 16 Hudson Street Realty, 16 Hudson Street, Proposed parking area, Site Plan
Approval – Preliminary Presentation
7

(9/19/24)

�The Board received an adjournment request from the Applicant’s architect on September 17,
2024. The application was adjourned to the October 17, 2024 meeting.
8. KWD Realty, LLC, 309-315 North Broadway, Proposed mixed-use building,
Site Plan &amp; Architectural Review Approval – Preliminary Presentation
Bruno Pietrosanti stated that he is the project architect representing the owner, Mr. Karl Dibble.
Mr. Pietrosanti stated that the proposed self-storage building and two-story drive-thru café would
appropriately use the site’s topography slopes and highly visible location. Self-storage buildings
would generate less traffic than retail buildings and be utilized by occupants of newly
constructed multi-residence buildings on the waterfront, which do not include large closets or
storage space. Mr. Pietrosanti described where the entrance driveways, parking, and structures
are proposed on two levels. The application requires variance approvals from the Zoning Board
of Appeals for the building height and drive-thru fast food use. The proposed building complies
with zoning regulations for bulk and setbacks. Since the Village of Sleepy Hollow Code does not
include specific legislation or written parking requirements for self-storage structures, they used
the National Storage Organization standards to determine that the parking is compliant. Mr.
Pietrosanti asked if the Planning Board interprets parking requirements or if the Zoning Board of
Appeals reviews the parking requirements based on the recommendation by the Board.
Sean McCarthy stated that when the Zoning Code doesn’t specifically designate land-use parking
requirements, the Planning Board will decide based on staff input.
Mr. Pietrosanti described the renderings and stated that upon the Board’s recommendation to
move forward with the concept plan, he would prepare more detailed renderings using the actual
site photographs and include more landscaping details.
Chairperson Krakauer stated that the site is a critical gateway to the inner Village from Route 9.
Due to the topography of the sloping site, the height of a big building would appear larger. She
suggested that the architect consider incorporating step-back designs to minimize the aesthetics
of the buildings massing. Ms. Krakauer suggested having most of the parking spaces at the
property's rear to shield visibility from the street.
Mr. Pietrosanti stated that the parking would be well-hidden behind retaining walls, landscaping
screening, and setback from the street.
Ms. Krakauer suggested that changing the façade materials could produce a less industrial
appearance for a storage facility and suggested that Mr. Pietrosanti consider some of the
architectural details of the Edge-on-Hudson Development as a reference.
Mr. Pietrosanti stated that windows are not typical for storage facilities. The plans proposes
translusant panel materials that would allow light into the buildings and create the appearance of
windows.
Karl Dibble stated that he is the owner of the property. Mr. Dibble stated that the site of the
Southside Bank in Irvington was used to create the renderings for the storage buildings and that
the design is similar to neighboring buildings and the proposed medical office building. The
8

(9/19/24)

�examples of existing self-storage facilities provided to him from the Village Planner would not
fit with the neighboring buildings. The footprints of the proposed buildings are designed to fit
with the different property grades. The existing site parking is open, and the proposed plan
would include landscape screening and walls that would look better from the road.
Mr. Piestrosanti stated that the plan was based on the zoning requirements of a commercial
building.
Mr. Dibble stated that gas stations in the Village and his current business utilize drive-thru
conditions, which deal with traffic difficulties. A self-storage facility would have less traffic
impact on the Village than the current business use or an apartment building and would have the
least impact on the water, sewer, or school systems.
Chris Camia asked Mr. Dibble to describe how the self-storage building relates to the café.
Although the storage facility traffic would be periodic, the drive-thru café would result in traffic.
Mr. Dibble stated that a drive-thru establishment like Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks would benefit
him economically when the storage business is slow and frequently used by the Village
residents. The two-lane driveway would help accommodate traffic for both uses and provide a
balance to the site.
Clare Trappasso expressed concern about traffic during peak commute times and school hours
and requested that a traffic study be completed. She also suggested that the applicant consider
making the buildings aesthetically pleasing.
Chairperson Krakauer asked the applicant to submit site turning radius diagrams to ensure
emergency vehicle access.
Mr. Dibble stated that if he eliminated the café, he would request a larger self-storage building,
requiring more variances. The proposed buildings will look better than the trucks currently
parked on site.
Benjamin Nielsen and Chris Camia expressed concerns regarding the proposed building massing
and height from an architectural review perspective. They explained that the Planning Board
considers whether there would be excessive dissimilarity with adjacent properties and whether
the uses are needed in the Village. They described the five-factor criteria methods the Zoning
Board of Appeals will review for the requested height variance.
Mr. Nieslen suggested lowering the building height, expanding the footprint, and having the
building overhang the parking.
The Board, applicant, and architect discussed how the building's mass could be reduced and
incorporated into the street frontage, and how the concept plan conforms with the zoning setback
requirements.
Mr. Camia asked Mr. Piestrosanti to describe the basement levels.
9

(9/19/24)

�Mr. Piestrosanti described the two property grade levels, with the basement levels below and
exposed above grade.
Mr. Dibble stated that the three existing curb cuts would remain, and the drive-thru café would
be at street level.
Chairperson Krakauer requested that a landscape plan be submitted.
Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the consultants.
James Natarelli stated that he can't start his review until the site engineering plans are submitted
to include grading, utilities, stormwater management, erosion control, construction logistics,
Mr. Piestrosanti asked who would be the lead agency.
Mr. McCarthy stated that the Planning Board is the lead agency and that the concept plan should
be finalized before it is submitted to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Mr. Dibble requested that the Planning Board be comfortable moving forward with the concept
plan before completing the engineering drawings and landscape plan.
Mr. Nieslen asked Mr. Piestrosanti if rooftop mechanical equipment was proposed and if there
would be an elevator tower.
Mr. Piestrosanti stated that the proposed hydraulic elevators would include a slight bulkhead, and
the roof parapets would limit the view exposure.
Mr. Dibble described the neighboring properties and stated that the rooftop mechanical
equipment would not obstruct residential views. Mr. Dibble asked the Planning Board if they
preferred the all-storage or the mixed-use concept.
Joshua Subin stated that if the applicant wants to discuss what would be a good use for the site,
he should discuss it with the Board of Trustees. The Planning Board reviews the application
submitted.
The Planning Board expressed concerns related to traffic and agreed that a study should be
completed focusing on how the change of use would impact the intersection.
David Smith decribed how a traffic engineer performs an analysis in relation to existing and
proposed conditions for traffic flow on a main road intersection. The Planing Board can make a
descision on the appropriateness of the application, specifically the drive-thru restaurant
component.
The application was adjourned to the October 17, 2024 meeting.
No action was taken.
9. Joshua Egan and Jennifer Schwartz, 120 Gorey Brook Road, Proposed detached
10

(9/19/24)

�garage and accessory dwelling. Site Plan &amp; Architectural Review Approval –
Preliminary Presentation
Julie Evans is the architect representing the applicants. Ms. Evans stated that the applicants are
proposing site improvements and a new garage with a second-story level for accessory uses, such
as a home office or a dwelling unit.
Jennifer Schwartz stated that she owns the property and described the existing property
conditions. They intend to use the garage’s second story as a home office. A full bathroom is
proposed to prepare the space for an accessory dwelling that may be needed for a relative or livein childcare provider. The additional parking area outside the garage would provide more
accessibility for deliveries and parking on the property.
Joshua Egan is the property owner and stated that he currently works in the basement, and when
it rains, water comes through the brick.
Ms. Evans described the property's conditions and stated that the applicant would remove the old
shed and access drive located uphill on the property. She summarized the proposed renovations.
The removal of the paved paths and driveway will reduce the amount of impervious surface. Ms.
Evans presented context views and described how the garage would be viewed from the
neighboring properties. The applicants will be requesting variance approval for the garage
height. She described the proposed garage floor plans.
Mr. Egan stated that there is a view easement agreement with their uphill neighbor. The
proposed garage is within the acceptable building areas and will not obstruct their views.
Chairperson Krakauer asked the consultants if a title report was necessary.
Ms. Evans stated that they would submit the title report and easement agreement if they were not
included in the submission. Based on the relative average grade, they determined that the roof
height is 17 feet to the middle of the garage hip roof. She described the elevations and plans.
Benjamin Nielsen stated that the west garage roof elevation is proposed to be higher than the
main residence and asked if the garage could be relocated.
There was a discussion with the Board, owners, and the architect regarding the placement of the
garage and the roof height in relation to the main residence.
Chairperson Krakauer asked Ms. Evans for the height difference between the garage and the
main house.
Ms. Evans stated the garage is proposed at eight feet taller than the main house.
Chris Camia asked Ms. Evans to describe how water is mitigated coming down the hill.
Ms. Evans stated that a drainage plan has been designed.
James Natarelli stated that he could discuss his comments with the engineer directly.
11

(9/19/24)

�Ryna Lustig is the landscape designer. Ms. Lustig stated the landscape plan is intended to
manage the existing slopes behind the existing and proposed retaining walls and relocate as
much of the existing plantings as possible. One Weeping Willow tree is proposed for removal.
Ms. Lustig stated that the landscape plan includes tree and boulder steps. Ms. Lustig described
the approach for the landscape designs.
Chairperson Krakauer asked Ms. Lustig how many new trees were proposed.
Ms. Lustig stated that two new trees are proposed.
Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Village encourages planting native canopy species trees and
suggested that the applicant consider planting a larger tree on the property similar to the one
being removed.
Ms. Schwartz stated they are restricted from planting trees in the view easement.
Ms. Lustig stated that a tree could be added to the driveway area.
Mr. Egan planted nine trees recently and said they would plant additional trees if requested.
Chairperson Krakauer asked staff to confirm that if the proposed accessory dwelling unit is
occupied for a purpose other than the owner's permitted use, an employment application would
be required for someone else to live in it.
Ms. Schwartz agreed that if they employed a live-in nanny, they would supply an employment
agreement for them to live in the accessory dwelling.
Mr. McCarthy stated that the applicants propose to use the space as a home office. If the
accessory dwelling is approved and constructed, the owners will receive a Certificate of
Occupancy based on the approval. The R-1 zoning district permits accessory dwelling quarters
for full-time domestic employees, home professional use, or home office.
Laurel Gaffney is the application engineer. Ms. Gaffney summarized the engineering plans
related to impervious coverage, drainage and stormwater plans, and how the basement and site
water issues will be mitigated. The percolation tests have not been completed yet.
James Natarelli requested that the engineer perform the percolation tests.
Chairperson Krakauer moved to refer the application to the next available Zoning Board of
Appeals agenda and to schedule a Planning Board public hearing pending ZBA approval.
