Architectural Review Approval- Public hearing- Public hearing
Jonathan Merheb, an engineer from JMER Engineering P.C., representing the property owner.
Mr. Merheb stated that the revised plan includes eliminating the curb cut on Pocantico Street,
adding a raised sidewalk and curb, redirecting downspouts, adding cultech detention systems in
the rear parking area to capture water runoff, adding building mounted lighting, adding a
landscape buffer between the adjacent building, and a curb planting bed on North Broadway. He
will address vehicle maneuverability concerns by eliminating (1) parking spot near the trash
enclosure while still providing (9) spaces where (8) are required. He will revise the proposed
trash enclosure from chain link to vinyl. Mr. Merheb stated the proposed fiberglass planters
would not serve as a vehicle buffer and because there are gas tanks in that location, they cannot
set anything in a footing. The only option would be to remove the seating and move the planters
up to the sidewalk.
Rachelle Gebler moved to open the public hearing.
Moved: Gebler
Seconded: Anderson

(See attached Exhibit #s 1 and 2)
There were no other public comments.
Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the Board.
Rachelle Gebler asked Sean McCarthy for suggestions for a structure protecting the sitting area.
Chris Camia agreed that the applicant should consider something more substantial than planters.
Sean McCarty stated that he could work with Mr. Merheb to provide a better solution for the
proposed seating area.
Rachelle Gebler moved to adjourn the public hearing to the March 20, 2025 meeting and direct
staff to draft a resolution.
Moved: Gebler

Vote 6-0
4. KWD Realty LLC, 309-315 North Broadway, Proposed 4-story self-storage facility
Site Plan &amp; Architectural Review Approval- Discussion
Karl Dibble is the property owner and developer of the project. Mr. Dibble stated that his
attorney and architect could not attend the meeting. Mr. Dibble described the changes made to
the site plan, including the proposed setbacks, grade changes, and building height. Mr. Dibble
provided examples of neighboring buildings that do not provide landscaped sidewalk buffers.
Mr. Dibble stated that shrinking the size of the building is not financially feasible due to the high
material costs. Mr. Dibble presented the renderings and described the views from different
village areas. Mr. Dibble requested that the Planning Board recommend the application to the
Zoning Board for review of the requested variances for lot coverage and height.
Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Dibble to describe the purpose for the curb cut going up the hill
and asked if he could streamline the access off Route 9
Mr. Dibble stated that the curb cut would be used for access during the building's construction.
After they finish, that entrance could be used by a van or by Westerly Storage to store and rent
out vans as a service of the storage facility. The self-storage use would decrease the amount of
traffic off Route 9.
Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Dibble for the proposed hours of operation.
Mr. Dibble stated that the self-storage facility would operate during normal business hours and
that gates would be installed at all three access points.
David Smith stated that the curb cuts are subject to the approval of the Department of
Transportation (“DOT”). He suggested that when the Planning Board is ready to schedule a
public hearing, the application should be forwarded to the New York State DOT for review.
4

(2/20/25)

�Chairperson Krakauer stated that Mr. Dibble considered moving the tower feature. Since the
proposed building is over the allowable height and coverage requirements, the Board would like
to compare a building in compliance with what a building in compliance would look like on the
site and neighboring property renderings.
Mr. Dibble described how the property slopes affect the ability to meet the compliance
requirements in some areas.
Chris Camia suggested eliminating the top floor and pushing the square footage into the
setbacks.
Mr. Dibble requested a referral to the Zoning Board of Appeals to receive feedback from the
Board and the public before making any additional changes.
Chairperson Krakauer requested that Mr. Dibble prepare renderings for comparison purposes that
incorporate their suggestions regarding the height and coverage requirements.
No action was taken.

8. 50 on Hudson Street LLC, 50 Hudson Street, Proposed three-family residence, Site Plan
Proposed three-family residence, Site Plan &amp; Architectural Review Approval
Brian Hopkins is the owner and the architect of the property. Mr. Hopkins summarized his
experience, including two completed projects on 34 and 46 Hudson Street. The application
proposes constructing a three-unit building where the top unit is a duplex. The recorded
easement with 48 Hudson Street allows both properties to have on-site parking spaces. The
proposed application will require variances for the front and side yard setbacks and building
coverage. Mr. Hopkins presented a neighboring lot coverage analysis, site photographs, and
described the views from the other houses on Hudson Street, and a rendering depicting the scale
of the proposed building maintaining the street line. He presented the site plan and landscaping
plan. He said that he would ensure all plantings are native species. The garbage and recycling
collection would be in the rear yard and include bicycle racks. The application proposes (3)
parking spaces where the residents would be required to back out of the driveway. He proposes
installing a 5-foot high fence around the property's perimeter, including an operable fence and
gate on the right side for the owner of 48 Hudson Street.
Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Hopkins if parking configurations could enable vehicles to turn
around. Ms. Krakauer asked Sean McCarthy if tandem parking is permitted to provide more
parking spaces.
Mr. Hopkins stated that he has investigated all vehicle maneuverability options.
Mr. McCarthy stated that the tandem parking could be permitted depending on the relationship
of the parking spaces to the unit.
Mr. Hopkins described the proposed wood building façade and fencing materials, windows,
decking, railings, and lighting. He presented the unit layout plans including the decks and
6

�interior renderings. He presented a side-by-side bulk comparison between 46 and 50 Hudson
Street. He presented a study of land use zoning and parking availability for the surrounding area.
He described the intention to use the panelized system to construct a building with high R-values
and performance. He plans to use heat pump technology for heating and cooling.
Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the Board.
David Smith requested that Mr. Hopkins submit a copy of the recorded easement agreement with
48 Hudson Street and the parking analysis.
Rachelle Gebler stated that the building's architectural style is excessively dissimilar to others on
Hudson Street and requested that the design be more in line with the street. She suggested that
Mr. Hopkins consider a gable roof design to reduce the building's visual bulk and height.
Mr. Hopkins said he addressed the height concerns by stepping back into the building.
Jay Schulz asked Mr. Hopkins if there would be storage under the stairs to the second level.
Mr. Hopkins stated that the room under the stairs would be the utility room.
Sean McCarthy stated that this is a model preliminary application for applicants and that the
quality of the proposed work is above what the Board has been seeing.
Mr. Shulz stated he is concerned about backing out of the driveway and asked if there are
examples where this occurs safely.
Mr. Hopkins stated that 46 Hudson has the same parking configuration
Sean McCarthy suggested the Board consider referring the application to the Zoning Board of
Appeals for the April meeting and allow the applicant to present updated material at the March
Planning Board meeting.
Mr. Camia asked Mr. Hopkins to compare the non-conforming conditions of the existing
structure with the self-created variances he will be requesting.
Mr. Hopkins stated that the existing structure is over the property line at the side and front yard
setbacks. Although he is seeking variances for the setbacks and coverage, the new structure
would improve these setbacks. The existing two-family residence includes one parking space,
whereas the proposed three-family residence proposes (3) parking spaces, where (6) spaces are
required by code.
The Planning Board referred the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals and adjourned it to
the March 20, 2025, Planning Board meeting to discuss architectural review concerns.

Building, Architectural Review Approval- Preliminary Presentation
Peter Chavkin stated that he is a managing partner of Sun Homes and that they have contracted
Appel Design Group Architects for the project balance.
Matthew Martinque is an architect with Appeal Design Group representing the applicant. Mr.
Martinque stated that the building is four stories tall and has four units. He summarized the floor
plans for the 20-foot wide interior units and exterior building materials, and stated that the
rooftop condensers would include screening. He presented renderings of views from the
alleyway between the two buildings and stated that there is 24 feet between the buildings. An
additional architectural feature at the north elevation is unnecessary, as the corner would be well
landscaped. Solid entry doors are proposed with unit numbers that would include downlights.
Mr. Chavkin stated that glass windows are proposed on the sides of doors in the 28-foot wide
units not included in this building.
Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Martinque to describe the landscaping at the north corner.
Mr. Chavkin said he would provide a more detailed landscape plan for the next meeting.

style and floor plan to the buildings at 332-338 Legend Drive and 340-350 Legend Drive. This
building includes two 28-foot-wide end units with a sidelight at the entrance door. Mr. Martinque
presented a rendering and stated that two brick colors are proposed for the building units.
Peter Chavkin stated that they prefer to deliver the building as rendered. If the Planning Board
prefers, they will alternate the brick colors for each unit.
Mr. Martinque stated that the down lighting would appear softer with the lighter color brick.

(2/20/25)

�Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Martinque if this building is wider than the buildings on
Legend Drive.
Mr. Martinque stated that this building includes two 28-foot wide end units and two 24-foot wide
interior units.
Mr. Chavkin stated that the buildings on Legend Drive include 22-foot wide end and 20-foot
wide interior units.
Chairperson Krakauer polled the Board members for their comments regarding the articulation of
the brick colors
The Board agreed to be comfortable with the exterior design and brick colors.
Peter Chavkin requested that the resolution language for the fourth-floor penthouses and end
units be the same for the three buildings and not include the language for the high-visibility end
units.
Chairperson Krakauer asked Peter Chavkin if rooftop pergolas are proposed for the two
buildings on Legend Drive or the building on Hollows Pass.
Peter Chavkin stated that rooftop pergolas are not proposed on the three buildings.

Phase II- Waterfront Open Space- North Buffer- Amended Site Plan &amp; Wetlands
Watercourse Permit Approval- Preliminary Presentation
Peter Chavkin stated that he is from Biddle Real Estate Ventures, representing Lighthouse
Landing Communities, LLC, and is requesting amended site plan approval for the North Buffer
area of the Phase II Waterfront Open Space. Mr. Chavkin stated that they should change the
name to the North Meadow. The Board previously approved the North Buffer and the third leg of
Tappan Zee Park. A condition of the approval required them to determine if flood surveys would
allow them to raise the grade of the North Buffer. The studies determined that the flood levels at
the maximum water elevation flooding are a foot lower than the maximum the overall site could
accommodate, where no residences would be flooded. The amended plan includes raising the
bottom of the channel approximately 2 feet. No changes have been proposed for the approved
pathways and depressed areas. This area will serve as infrastructure and open space.
Chris Camia asked Mr. Chavkin to describe the emergency access area.
Mr. Chavkin stated that the emergency access area was approved as a grassed pathway with a
rubberized system underneath. The pathway will serve as a permanent pedestrian connection and
emergency vehicle service connection.
10

(2/20/25)

�Questions related to the vehicle weight that the path could support and whether there would be
signage indicating its emergency use.
Mr. Chavkin said he would confirm with the engineers and provide information to the Planning
Board.
There was a discussion regarding an Intermunicpal Agreement with Westchester County related
to the operations and maintenance of Kingsland Point Park, whether or not the fence and
concrete that border the park entrance from the North Buffer should be removed or remain, and
suggestions for keeping a part of the original foundation.
Mr. Chavkin requested that the Board approve preparing a draft resolution for the next meeting.
Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the Board and the consultants and polled the
Board on their approval to prepare a draft resolution.
There were no additional comments or objections from the Board.
Chairperson Krakauer directed David Smith to prepare a draft resolution for review at the March
20, 2025 meeting, including language for keeping a part of the original foundation.

c/o Village of Sleepy Hollow
Department of Architecture, Land Use Development, Buildings and Building Compliance
28 Beekman Avenue, Sleepy Hollow, New York 10591
Re: Cortlandt Development LLC Application for 377 North Broadway
February 20, 2025
Dear Chairperson Krakauer,
Historic Hudson Valley (“HHV”) is a not-for-profit cultural organization that owns and operates several National
Historic Landmarks, including Philipsburg Manor at 381 North Broadway in Sleepy Hollow. The Manor also serves
as a Visitor Center for visitors to Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate, also a National Historic Landmark in Sleepy Hollow.
HHV provides significant positive economic impact for Sleepy Hollow and its businesses as it welcomes tens of
thousands of visitors each year at Philipsburg Manor through educational programs, tours of two historic sites,
and popular events.
We have reviewed the application for the property at 377 North Broadway, just across Pocantico Street from
Philipsburg Manor. We welcome this project. If it is completed with sufficient attention paid to architectural
character and site planning enhancements, we believe the final result has the potential to improve the
appearance of the existing property and be an enhancement to our neighborhood overall.
The site is currently a sea of asphalt and concrete surfaces. Landscaping along its Pocantico Street frontage, even
freestanding planters that are well maintained, would be an aesthetic improvement and provide a visual buffer
for the proposed parking area. We ask the Planning Board to require this as part of any approval granted. Our
chief concern is the provision of adequate on-site parking for the proposed uses (deli with seating/market/gas
station). We notice that there appears to be a discrepancy between the area proposed to be outdoor seating in
the color renderings submitted in comparison with the site plan, with the former depicting a much larger area
that projects all the way out from the garage bay facade to meet the stone facade of the southern portion of the
existing building. On the site plan, a much narrower area is depicted as the proposed outdoor seating area.
The size of the seating area and whether the proposed use is intended as “grab and go” or “sit and eat” has
significant implications for our property. If customers are dining in, there will be slow turnover of the limited
parking on site, creating the potential for deli customers to attempt to use the Philipsburg Manor parking lot
instead of the site’s own parking.
In addition to this discrepancy, we have not been able to identify how the off-street parking requirement from
Section 450-41.E of the Village Zoning Law is being applied to the proposed use, and what size outdoor dining
area, with what number of seats, was used as part of that calculation.

�Based on the multiple activities proposed for the site, it can also be expected that more vehicular and pedestrian
activity will be generated than in the past. What area on the site is proposed to be used for unloading deliveries to
the building and the underground gasoline storage tanks? How can the Planning Board ensure that these
deliveries will not block access to the proposed parking spaces and, in so doing, increase the possibility that
customers will not find sufficient parking on-site and begin to search for parking elsewhere, such as on the nearby
Philipsburg Manor parking lot?
Until these variables, and the applicable math to set the required number of on-site parking spaces, are made
clear in the application, we respectfully request that the Planning Board hold open this Public Hearing so that we
can react to this aspect of a clarified application.
As you know, parking is at a premium in the Village, and Philipsburg Manor needs every one of its parking lot’s
spaces available to support its own business uses. Should the Planning Board grant an approval for this project,
HHV asks that it include measures and stipulations that preclude the possibility that the Manor’s parking lot will
be used by customers of the business at 377 North Broadway.
We believe this project has the potential to improve the aesthetics of a property in direct view of Phillipsburg
Manor, and to add a desirable amenity. We ask that the Board pay careful attention to its parking requirements
and insist in any approval that the applicant take all necessary measures to mitigate any adverse parking impact
on its neighbor.
Best regards,

Waddell Stillman, President

Rob Schweitzer, Vice President, Communications &amp; Commerce
