Ed Napoleon is representing this application on behalf of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. He was accompanied by project engineer, Dan Penella. The Chair acknowledged that the Committee had received the renderings that were requested at the last meeting. The Chair referred to the submitted renderings. Ed Napoleon reviewed the renderings and the exterior finishes. �Doug Maass stated that the submitted rendering from Farrington Avenue do not properly reflect the visual impact. Ed Napoleon responded that the elevation to the top of the ridge is 24-feet. The Chair asked about the height of the chapel. Ed Napoleon responded that the chapel height at its highest point would be almost at the same height as this proposed structure. He did not have the exact elevation of the chapel. Doug Maass stated that the building dwarfs anything around it. He stated that it is a large building in an open area. Ed Napoleon responded that the building is 107-feet long. He stated that the existing chapel is about 75-feet long. The Chair referred to Policy 25(b). He stated that he is having a hard time seeing how this application enhances the viewshed identified in this policy. Ralph Gunderman asked about the selection of this location. He stated that the location is close to Route 9 and significantly alters the nature of the cemetery scenic subunit. Ed Napoleon responded that the location was selected by the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery Board. Don Stever asked if the location could be moved. Dan Penella responded that the site utilities would be unavailable. He stated that water and sewer are required for the bathroom. He stated that the site is ideal based on its proposed use. He stated that the location is rather rocky and its use is limited but will be very useful for this project. Ed Napoleon stated that the North Broadway side would be screened with evergreens. Ralph Gunderman stated that the screening would impact the viewshed in the same way that the proposed building will impact the area. Don Stever responded that the evergreens would take away the park-like character of the cemetery. Don Stever asked how many 6” caliber trees would be removed. Dan Penella responded that a total of ten (10) trees are proposed to be removed. Don Stever stated that the policy refers to saving mature trees that are 6” caliber or greater. The Chair stated that he thinks that the cemetery should revisit other available locations on the site. Ralph Gunderman asked if a bathroom is required. Ed Napoleon responded the building would be a public building. He also stated that the Village is requiring that the sewer line be tied into the Village’s sewer line which would require the sewer pipe to be run an additional 500-feet. APPROVED - Waterfront Advisory Committee Meeting, January 4, 2006 2 �Doug Maass asked if the building could be angled. Ed Napoleon responded yes. Don Stever responded that the building would look larger if it were angled. He stated that the building is massive. Ed Napoleon stated that many cemeteries are moving to a community mausoleum. Don Stever recalled a previous cemetery site issue when the cemetery filled-in a wetland and ravine on-site to accommodate additional plots. He stated that the cemetery might be back in a few years with another building. He stated that this might be setting a precedent. The Chair stated that the Committee could make a decision this evening or could ask the applicant to re-evaluate the selected site and see if there is another available location. Ed Napoleon responded that he would like the Committee to make their decision this evening. He stated that the Cemetery Board could choose to re-design the structure or select an alternative site. The Committee found the application to be inconsistent with Policy 25-b of the LWRP. It was unanimous (5-0). 3) Other The Chair referred to the timing of receiving materials. He stated that there should be no exceptions. He stated that the rule should be firmly adhered to. Sean McCarthy stated that all materials must be submitted 2-weeks prior to the meeting. There was an open discussion on the construction on Hemlock Drive and Pokahoe Drive. Ralph Gunderman made a motion to adjourn. Doug Maass seconded. It was unanimous (5-0). This was adjourned to the next meeting.
