He reviewed the changes made to the engineering drawings related to drainage, rear guardrail, and the driveway slope. Chairperson Krakauer requested that the proposed easements include the setback and grading details. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Hopkins if the guardrail along the rear property line needs to cross the landscaped area. Mr. Hopkins stated that the guardrail would run along the rear property line and include the parking space area at 48 Hudson Street. Mr. Natarelli and Mr. Hopkins discussed the details of the infiltration system trench. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Hopkins to describe the landscape plan and to present the neighborhood elevation drawings. Mr. Hopkins described the proposed planting species and locations. He presented the neighborhood elevation drawings and described what the dashed lines represent. Mr. Nielsen asked Mr. McCarthy to explain how roof heights are calculated. Mr. McCarthy stated that the maximum permitted roof height for a gable-style roof is calculated from the midpoint of the gable. Flat roofs are calculated from the top of the roof deck and do not include the parapet. This area of the street was rezoned from district R-4A to R-5, which increased the permitted building height. 3 (7/17/25) �Mr. Hopkins presented the Design Progression illustration detailing Version 1 through V6 of the project. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Planning Board worked with the applicant on several iterations to bring the proposed building in line with architectural features and the feeling of the neighborhood. She recommended that the Board vote on the application. Chairperson Krakauer solicited comments from the public. There were no public comments. Richard Gross moved to close the public hearing.

Chairperson Krakauer- Yes Ken Anderson - Yes 4 (7/17/25) �Chris Camia - Yes Benjamin Nielsen - Yes Jay Schulz - Yes Richard Gross - No Vote 5-1-0 3. KWD Realty LLC, 309-315 North Broadway, Proposed 4-story self-storage facility, Site Plan and Architectural Review approval – Discussion, Pending ZBA approval Chairperson Krakauer stated that the application is pending approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals at the September 17, 2025, meeting. The applicant is not present for a discussion. No action was taken. 4. 188 Wyatt, LLC, 188 Cortlandt Street, Amended Site Plan Approval- Discussion Chairperson Krakauer stated that the applicant is not present. The Board adjourned the discussion to the September 18, 2025, meeting. No action was taken. 5. Joseph and Devin Bandelli, 274 Kelbourne Avenue, Proposed pool, Site Plan Approval, Presentation Dan Sherman stated he is representing the applicants. Mr. Sherman presented the Planting Plan and described the native species proposed to screen the visibility of the pool. Jay Schulz asked Mr. Sherman if the proposed retaining wall would jeopardize the health of the tree in the southwest corner. Mr. Sherman stated that the existing tree would not be compromised as it is approximately 20 feet from the pool and 15 feet from the footings of the proposed retaining wall. Mr. Sherman presented the landscape site plan, renderings and sight line illustrations to show how the pool would be screened from different views. The pool was not proposed in the rear yard because the large oak tree shades the property, and there is a lot of ledge rock. Devin Bandelli is the property owner and stated that her arborist reported that any disturbance in the rear yard would jeopardize the health of the tree. The rear yard is mostly rock. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Ms. Bandelli submit the arborist report. Jay Schulz asked Ms. Bandelli if the arborist had evaluated the maple tree near the proposed pool. Ms. Bandelli stated that the arborist only evaluated the oak tree in the rear yard. 5 (7/17/25) �Mr. Sherman stated that rock chipping would not be required in the proposed pool location. Ostap Vidov is the contractor for the applicant. Mr. Vidov stated that when ledge rock chipping was performed during the construction of the rear addition, the neighboring property owners were concerned about damage to their foundation because their house is pinned to ledge rock. The neighbor’s property is closer to the applicant’s property line and sits 30 feet above the rear yard. The pool would be visible from every window and the neighbor's deck. Locating the pool on the slope of the front yard does not affect a neighbor and would be screened from those walking by. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board evaluates how the application would affect the public's views. Chris Camia suggested that the applicant could install a jet resistance pool that would reduce the footprint. Ms. Bandelli stated she would like the pool to match the house's size, and a jetted pool requires more equipment. Mr. Sherman requested that the Board refer the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a decision on the pool before addressing the engineering concerns regarding stormwater management and the wall. Chairperson Krakauer polled the Board for comments on referring the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Nielsen requested that their arborist confirm that the existing large canopy trees would not be compromised. Engineering could wait until the Zoning Board makes a decision. Mr. Schulz agreed that this is a unique situation in which the pool is not for recreation. The applicant has demonstrated that the pool would be screened and that the design will be aesthetically pleasing from the street. Saving the specimen trees is his biggest concern. Ken Anderson stated that he is concerned about the trees and the wall around Riverside Drive. Chris Camia suggested they propose an alternative to the aluminum fencing in the front yards. Ms. Bandelli offered to change the fencing to decorative wrought iron. The Board suggested adding shrubbery around the top of the walls and installing the fencing behind the wall in the front yard. Ms. Bandelli agreed to add shrubbery on top of the walls. Chairperson Krakauer requested that they submit an arborist report for the existing trees and the engineering details for the wall on Riverside Drive. 6 (7/17/25) �Chairperson Krakauer referred the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals without an objection or recommendation from the Planning Board. 6. Cortlandt Development LLC, 377 North Broadway, Proposed deli/market, Amended Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Presentation Chairperson Krakauer stated that the applicant is not present. The presentation was adjourned to the September 18, 2025, meeting. No action was taken. 7. 72 Beekman Avenue Enterprises, LLC, 72 Beekman Avenue, Proposed mixed-use building, Amended Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Preliminary Gabrielle Salman is the architect representing the applicant. Ms. Salman stated that adjustments were made to the site plan and the backyard, including removing the wall, and changes to the front elevation, entrance doors, and façade materials. Ms. Salman presented the elevation comparisons from the original site plan approval and renderings of the proposed building. There was a discussion regarding the buildings’ brick and stucco colors. Ms. Salman submitted the updated property survey and stated that she just received it today. Ms. Salman presented photographs of the elevation comparisons. James Natarelli stated that the elevation comparisons between 72 Beekman Avenue and the adjacent properties need to be included on a topographic map. Chairperson Krakauer Gabrielle Salman if the applicant would be ready for a public hearing on September 18, 2025. Ms Salman stated that she would be away, but that Cristian Carrion could present responses to the elevation concerns. Chairperson Krakauer asked Joshua Subin if the Board requires a motion to set up the public hearing. Joshua Subin stated that the Board does not require a motion to schedule a public hearing. Chairperson Krakauer scheduled a public hearing for the September 18, 2025, meeting. The Board has received written public comments regarding this application. Sean McCarthy asked Chairperson Krakauer if the Board is allowing public comments. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Subin if the Board may hear comments outside of the public hearing. 7 (7/17/25) �Mr. Subin stated that the Board may hear public comments outside of the public hearing as long as the minutes are referenced. Chairperson Krakauer polled the Board for their approval to hear public comments. Benjamin Nielsen - Yes Ken Anderson - Yes Chris Camia- Yes Richard Gross -Yes Jay Schulz - Yes Chairperson Krakauer asked if a motion is needed to hear public comments. Mr. Subin stated that no motion is required to recognize them and allow them to speak. David Venditti stated that he is a Partner with Murtagh, Cossu, Venditti & Castro-Blanco, LLP, representing Ana Rakipi, the owner of 74 Beekman Inc. Mr. Venditti stated that, based on his review of the records, the application should be a new site plan application rather than an amended site plan. He listed the discrepancies included in the submitted application. Mr. Venditti stated that the rear yard of 72 Beekman was graded, and the retaining wall was constructed. Mr. Venditti stated that rainwater from the roof of 72 Beekman Avenue is going into the walls of the 74 Beekman Avenue building, causing mold, mildew, and damage to the building and the foundation. The building structure was not built in compliance with the approved and submitted plans. The damages to 74 Beekman remain unresolved. Bond Davis is an Engineer from Grigg & Davis Engineers, P.C., representing the owner of 74 Beekman Avenue. Mr. Davis described his evaluations of the constructed retaining wall, fence, stormwater controls and roof terminations. Chairperson Krakauer requested that the comments presented at tonight’s meeting be submitted in written form to the Board. Mr. Venditti asked if the Planning Board would refer the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals for the sought variances before site plan approval. Joshua Subin stated that it is a typical process that most applications start at the Planning Board and receive a positive, no objection, or negative recommendation from the Planning Board to the Zoning Board for the required variances. Mr. Venditti stated that the building was down by the owner’s accord for over two years, so no grandfathering of pre-existing non-conforming waivers are active. Chairperson Krakauer scheduled a public hearing for September 18, 2025. 8 (7/17/25) �8. Sleepy Hollow Holdings, LLC, 144 Cortlandt Street, Proposed change of use, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval – Preliminary presentation 9. Sleepy Hollow Holdings, LLC, 196 Cortlandt Street, Proposed change of use, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval- Preliminary presentation Gabrielle Salman is the architect representing the property owner. Ms. Salman stated that potential commercial tenants did not contact the property owner. Abraham Jeremias is an assistant to the owner. Mr. Jeremias stated that the applications were approved in 2019, but the owner was not able to complete the work. He has been working with his property manager for a year and a half, and has been unsuccessful in renting out the spaces to commercial tenants. He requested that the Board reapprove the applications. Joshua Subin stated that Trustee Rodrigues has been trying to get shops in the Villages’ downtown area and suggested putting the applicant in touch with him directly. Mr. Subin provided Trustee Rodrigues’ contact number to Mr. Jeremias. Ms. Salman stated that the owner told her that there is interest on Beekman Avenue, but not on Cortlandt Street. Chris Camia stated that Beekman Avenue, Valley Street, and Cortlandt Street are considered the downtown commercial district with respect to the comprehensive plan. These three streets are highly desirable for commercial use on the ground level. Chairperson Krakauer stated that the Board would revisit the applications if no progress could be made in obtaining commercial tenants. No action was taken. 10. Origins Collective, LLC, 178 Beekman Avenue, Proposed change of use, Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval Ryan Andrews stated that he is the owner of Origins Collective, requesting approval for the change of use. Mr. Andrews summarized the application for the proposed mixed-use salon and café. Mr. Andrews stated that a Building Permit was issued to renovate the building's storefront by replacing the windows with vertical elongated units to allow more light into the space. The proposed interior renovations are cosmetic. He would obtain the required licenses for the salon and café. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Mr. Andrews create an ADA accessible entrance in the front or side of the building and asked if signage or lighting changes are proposed. Mr. Andrews stated that he has not designed the signage or the lighting plan. Mr. McCarthy stated that the Board is approving the change of use and the signage. The interior work is subject to the Board's approval. 9 (7/17/25) �Chairperson Krakauer suggested Mr. Andrews explore as many seating options as possible. There was a discussion regarding the business plan as it relates to staffing, hours, and music intentions. Mr. Andrews explained that the main purpose of the café will be for patrons who are waiting for salon services. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Mr. Andrews submit the proposed signage and lighting designs for the Board’s review. Benjamin Nielsen requested that the drawings for the façade changes be included in the next submission. Chairperson Krakauer scheduled a public hearing for the September 18, 2025, meeting. 11.

One Kingsland Owner, LLC, 322-328 Palisades, Proposed (4) Unit Townhome Building, Amended Site Plan & Architectural Review Approval Guy Mazzola is a Managing Member of Sun Homes representing One Kingsland Owner LLC as the applicant. Mr. Mazzola distributed presentation documents to the Planning Board that were not included in the application submission. Mr. Mazzola stated that the applications include 32 townhomes within seven buildings on Hollows Pass and Palisades Blvd., with entrances from both streets. Mr. Mazzola described the rendering key illustration. Mr. Mazzola presented the rendering for the 301-313 Hollows Pass building and described the size and details of the unit types. 10 (7/17/25) �Chairperson Krakauer asked if there is articulation between the three interior units and the fourth-floor lofts. Mr. Mazzola stated that there are small articulations between the three interior units and the fourth-floor lofts. Benjamin Nielsen asked Mr. Mazzola to describe the proposed landscaping at the entrance for end unit 301. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Mazzola to confirm the proposed number of steps and risers from the street. If there are more than three risers, handrails and guard protection are required. Mr. Mazzola stated that the DTS Provident Design Engineering is designing the Washington wall, and the number of rises may vary between the units. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Mazzola to confirm whether the units are ADA accessible. Mr. Mazzola stated that the units are ADA accessible from the garage entrance. Mr. Mazzola presented the rendering of the 201-209 Hollows Pass and 200-210 Palisades Blvd. buildings and described the size and details of the townhome unit types. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Mazzola what could be done to eliminate the mirroring of the end units of each building. Mr. Mazzola described the changes made to the unit types to avoid mirroring. Chairperson Krakauer polled the Board on whether the brick color changes were enough to offset the mirroring of the units. Ken Anderson, Jay Schulz, Chris Camia, and Richard Gross agreed that the brick coloring was sufficient. Mr. Mazzola requested the Board’s approval to allow a 72% coverage on the fourth-floor lofts to allow for more space and design options. Mr. Anderson asked Mr. Mazzola if he had prepared a rendering of the side of the end unit facing the waterfront. There was a discussion between the Board and the applicant on the unit sizes and options for stepping into the fourth-floor lofts. Sean McCarthy asked Mr. Mazzola if he had prepared a floor plan for the Building E end unit that included the bump out on Palisades Blvd. 11 (7/17/25) �Mr. Mazzola stated that the Site Plans have not been updated to reflect the new units and changes. He said he was seeking the Board’s approval and feedback before having the site plans revised. Mr. Mazzola presented the rendering of the 321-327 Hollows Pass and 322-328 Palisades Blvd. buildings and described the changes to the sizes and details of the townhome unit types. Mr. Mazzola requested the Board’s approval to allow a 72% coverage on the fourth-floor lofts to provide more space and design options. The Board stated that a setback of the loft on the corner unit is preferable. The Board suggested having integrated door options and different window styles for the lofts. Mr. Mazzola agreed to add larger windows on the fourth-floor lofts and stated that the buyer can choose to have French or bi-fold doors. Mr. Mazzola presented the rendering of the 212-216 Palisades Blvd. buildings and described the changes to the sizes and details of the townhome unit types. Chairperson Krakauer asked Mr. Mazzola if something could be done to the windows to elevate the side of the end unit. Mr. Mazzola described the floor plan and stated that side elevation changes are not possible due to the required wall space. Chris Camia suggested adding a soldier course vertical articulation in the brick. Jay Schulz suggested making the windows wider on the loft side. Mr. Mazzola stated that he would look at different traditional window styles and the brick articulation. Benjamin Nielsen suggested adding a trellis-mounted climbing vegetation. Sean McCarthy asked if the gas meters are proposed on the side of the building. Mr. Mazzola stated that the gas meters would be located on one of the side elevations. The Board discussed the option of adding a three-window bay unit on the side elevation. Mr. Mazzola stated that he would determine if there was enough room from the curb to add the bay component. Mr. Mazzola presented the rendering of the 315-319 Hollows Pass building and described the changes to the sizes and details of the townhome unit types. Mr. Camia suggested adding the brick soldier course to the loft windows. 12 (7/17/25) �Mr. Mazzola presented the 301 Hollows Pass entrance and landscaping rendering and described the proposed street trees. The Board suggested looking for opportunities to add bay bump-outs and the soldier course brick to Buildings G & H. Mr. Mazzola presented an illustration and described the unit type and size changes proposed to minimize mirroring at Buildings E & F located along Tappan Zee Park. Mr. Mazzola stated that keeping the minimum required 7-foot front yard setback would prevent them from providing the jogs between the units. He requested the Board’s approval to reduce the front yard setback to 5 feet. Benjamin Nielsen asked if the buildings could be set back two feet in the rear yard. Mr. Mazzola stated that shortening the driveways would not satisfy the parking requirements. Mr. Schulz asked for the distance from the sidewalk to the building. Mr. McCarthy stated that the sidewalk and the wall are on the property line. Mr. Camia asked if the reduced setback would shrink the front patios. Mr. Mazzola stated that the units that are jogged forward might have smaller front patios. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Mr. Mazzola provide a rendering of the view from the sidewalk. Mr. Camia asked if they could move the sidewalk if granted the variance for the front yard setback. Mr. McCarthy stated that the sidewalks are in line with the other sections of the waterfront open space, so there may not be options to change them. Mr. Mazzola presented a marked-up section of the proposed site plan changes to Building G on 301-313 Hollows Pass, Building I on 315-319 Hollows Pass, and Building H on 212-216 Palisades Blvd. He said that if the Board were comfortable with the changes, they would develop and come back with a full site plan update. James Natarelli stated that the proposed location of the gas meters for Buildings H & I is directly across from the driveways of the other units. He asked Mr. Mazzola to confirm whether Con Edison would require protection. Mr. Mazzola stated that Con Edison would require bollards or a bar across the gas meters because of their proximity to the curb. He would coordinate with Con Edison and incorporate specifications into the designs. 13 (7/17/25) �Mr. Mazzola presented a marked-up section of the proposed site plan changes to Building E on 200-210 Palisades Blvd and Building F on 201-309 Hollows Pass. Mr. Mazzola presented a marked-up section of the proposed site plan changes to Building V on 321-327 Hollows Pass, and Building W on 322-328 Palisades Blvd, and stated that the green boxes represent the four column features of the end units. Mr. Anderson asked Mr. Mazzola to confirm that not all of the buildings need the 5-foot front yard setback. Mr. Mazzola confirmed that they are requesting the 5-foot front yard setback for Buildings F & E. Mr. Mazzola presented the proposed gas meter locations for each building, including preliminary landscape screening design. Mr. McCarthy stated that the illustrations do not represent the space occupied by the electric and gas meters. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Mr. Mazzola submit a more realistic representation. Mr. Mazzola stated that he would get the required specifications from Con Edison and adjust the landscaping. Mr. Camia suggested breaking up the groups of meters because there are not so many in one location. Chairperson Krakauer suggested organizing the meters so that they are not in a straight row. The Board made suggestions for the separation of meters. Mr. Mazzola stated that they are working on shrinking the size of the meters and will revise the locations as suggested. Mr. Mazzola presented the preliminary private signage plan and described the proposed locations. Mr. Camia asked if they are lighting the signage. Mr. Mazzola said that they were not proposing the signage to be lit. Chairperson Krakauer suggested that the signs should be double-sided to provide direction from either direction. 14 (7/17/25) �There was a discussion on the placement of the signs and how the directional arrows should be positioned, and how the size and width should be optimized for the circulation of the site. Chairperson Krakauer requested that Mr. Mazzola submit renderings of the views from the signs and suggested that the Board may need a site visit to determine the preferred design. Richard Gross requested that the Fire Department be invited to provide input on the streets, buildings, and signage to avoid delays of emergency services. Chairperson Krakauer suggested that a map could be provided to the Fire Department. The Board agreed to invite the Fire Department to the next meeting. Mr. Mazzola agreed to have the engineers review the proposed sign locations. There was a discussion regarding the repetitive street numbering on different streets. The Board expressed their concerns about the location of the unit numbers and the challenges that delivery and emergency services experience. Mr. Mazzola presented the emergency services circulation plan. Richard Gross requested that the Board receive input from the Fire Department. Mr. Mazzola presented the lighting plan and described where bollard and street lighting is proposed. The Board members discussed their lighting preferences and requested that Mr. Mazzola provide detailed lighting specifications. Chairperson Krakauer requested input from the Board and the consultants on scheduling a public hearing. Mr. McCarthy stated that amended site plan applications require a public hearing. The Planning Board can waive the public hearing requirement when the changes are minor. Mr. Mazzola stated that the changes to the site plan are minor and include small changes to the kid of parts. David Smith stated that to provide full transparency, the Board should schedule a public hearing for September. The Board members agreed that holding a public hearing in September provides the applicant with time to address the Board’s concerns and allows the residents to comment on the project. The Board agreed that one public notice could be written for the seven applications. Chairperson Krakauer scheduled the public hearing for the September 18, 2025, meeting and directed David Smith to a separate resolution for each of the seven applications. 15 (7/17/25) �18.
