He described the proposed changes to the boathouse structures, the seasonal lawn area, kayak storage, the fire pit, and the boat launch ramp. Mr. Chavkin stated that the proposed locations of the boathouse structures would allow for adjustments to the grading and improve the ADA pathway. He described the proposed uses of the two boathouse structures and presented illustrations for architectural ideas for a covered breezeway between the two buildings. Mr. Chavkin provided precedent images to demonstrate how the lawn area could be utilized as a seasonal splash pad in the summer and an ice-skating rink in the winter. He described the concept drawings for the proposed fire pit circle. 1 (6/12/25) �Mr. Chavkin described the lighthouse plaza area and stated that the originally proposed area was approximately 3,800 square feet, which could accommodate 400 to 500 people. He presented seating area studies and described options for adding more seating. He presented options for reducing the number of segments for the colonade art piece. The Board provided their questions and suggestions regarding the connectivity of pathways from different locations, loading areas, and parking for individuals bringing their kayaks, as well as additional seating areas, a hand-carry boat ramp, the colonnade art piece, the lighthouse plaza, an elevated water engagement area, and firepit operations and fuel sources. James Natarelli requested that Peter Chavkin provide a plan that shows the double-barrel drainage pipe. Peter Chavin requested that the Planning Board discuss fire pit operations with the Board of Trustees to determine whether they prefer the fire pit to be fueled by gas or wood, and whether they would like a fireplace hearth or pit. His team will study location options based on the Board's decision. Mr. Chavkin stated that he will study the connectivity of the pathways and how to provide more direct access around the lighthouse plaza and the boathouse. He will look into tying the boat launch into the path and provide details on the bulkhead materials. He will study areas where additional seating could be added. The Board agreed that Mr. Chavkin should prepare sketches incorporating all the changes discussed for review. 2. 50 on Hudson Street LLC, 50 Hudson Street, Proposed three-family residence, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval – Discussion, Pending ZBA Approval Brian Hopkins presented the design progression illustration and rendered views for Version 4, describing the proposed changes.

Jay Schulz asked Mr. Hopkins if you could see through the fourth-floor cornice. Mr. Hopkins stated that the overhang is designed as an open trellis-type sunshade. The Board agreed that the changes to the canopy and the addition of the second-floor porch are big improvements to the project. Chris Camia suggested having open railings and balusters on the front stairs and suggested stepping back the fourth-floor overhang. 2 (6/12/25) �Richard Gross and Chairperson Krakauer agreed to support the project if it included a gable-style roof.

The Board discussed landscaping suggestions for different areas of the property. Chairperson Krakauer asked Sean McCarthy if a barrier is required at the back of the property. Sean McCarthy stated that the barrier requirement depends on the slope of the rear yard. Mr. Hopkins stated that he proposes a fence barrier, but will install a retaining wall if necessary. James Natarelli stated that the percolation test was completed and went well. There are still drainage issues that need to be addressed, as well as a discussion regarding the need for a drainage easement between 50 Hudson Street and 48 Hudson Street.

Mr. Hopkins described his proposals for lighting, fencing, and the proposed gate design between 48 Hudson Street and 50 Hudson Street. Mr. Nielsen asked if Mr. Hopkins is considering solar.
