Present: Mayor Gandolfo Trustee Treacy Trustee Alter Trustee Cicchetti Trustee Rey Trustee Hyland Trustee Marren Also Present: William T. Regan, Village Administrator John J. Hughes, Jr. Village Attorney Mayor Gandolfo called the meeting to order with the pledge, to the flag. Public Hearings Mayor Gandolfo stated that the first hearing was a continuation of the new proposed "Ethics" code. Mario Belanich recommended waiting for the new board before approving the new Ethics Code. There being no other comments from the public, Trustee Cicchetti moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Trustee Alter and motion carried 6-0. Mayor Gandolfo stated that the next hearing was a continuation of the proposed changes to Sections 57-6 and 57-7 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law. The Mayor stated that since the last meeting, no further correspondence has been received regarding this change. There were no comments from the public, therefore Trustee Treacy moved to close this public hearing, seconded by Trustee Alter and motion carried 6-0. Mayor Gandolfo stated that the next hearing regarding abatement to seniors will be held after the hearing on proposed amendments to the Wetlands/Watercourse ordinance. tax the Mayor Gandolfo read the attached public hearing notice regarding these proposed amendments. She stated that letters received from Patricia Kringas, Donald Stever, Turnquist Architects, Frederick P. Clark Associates, Inc. and Sleepy Hollow Cemetery pertaining to these amendments will be made part of the record. Donald Stever, a member of the Conservation Advisory Council, commented that the CAC was instrumental in bringing this ordinance to the Board. He then addressed the Board with comments on each of the proposed amendments to the wetlands ordinance. 1 �- ? 0 * - Mr. Weiss, representing the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, addressed the Board stating that he did not object to all the amendments but stated that the ordinance needed softening, otherwise many problems will exist. The size of their stream in question is very small and he felt that consideration should be given to size. Patricia Kringas read her attached letter to the Board. Steve Baderian, member of the Planning Board, stated that he felt that destruction of a wetland is forever and cannot be reversed, and delegating away the responsibility of the hard issues which will be encountered under this ordinance is not a solution. George O'Hanlon stated all sizes of wetlands need protection and the ordinance should not be amended. Mr. Goldhagen also felt the ordinance should not be amended. Dr. Sweet, CAC Chairman, stated that years ago there were no means to protect the wetlands; the Council proceeded to pursue it and the Board of Trustees did pass this Wetlands ordinance. He also felt that it should stand as is with no change. Jim Donovan, of Frederick P. Clark, Associates, commented that the reason for amendments were not only based on his review of two applications before the Planning Board. He felt that a few changes could be made without drastically changing the ordinance. Some sections just need clarification, not changes; basis is value not size, function of wetland determines its value. The interpretation as it stands now, does not give anyone a chance to build. Trustees Cicchetti commented size or value is very difficult to define and the Board should make judgment on each case but the sole criteria should not be size. Trustee Marren 's concern was establishing value which is very difficult to define. Mr. Galella questioned whether buildings which are already built might have been denied if this ordinance was in effect. The Mayor stated it is very possible. Mr. Belanich questioned how the definition of a wetland could be amended. The Mayor commented that Mr. Donovan stated that we should comply with the definition that the federal government uses. Donald Stever stated that after hearing Mr. Donovan's explanations for the amendments, there are certain concepts that are acceptable but some language needs to be clarified. Mr. Weiss commented that the size should not be an automatic exception, but only if the Board deems feasible. 2 �803 Trustee Cicchetti stated that what the Board is trying to get across is that the identification of size is not a necessary factor, because regardless of size there are certain identifying criteria which must be met. Judith Washburn commented that one application before Planning Board should not be the basis of these amendments. the Trustee Treacy moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Trustee Alter and motion carried 6-0. John Hughes, Village Attorney, stated that prior to any final decision, the Board must comply with the State Environmental Review Act and suggested that we first declare the Board as lead agent, prepare an environmental assessment form, and prepare resolutions which show that we have performed our obligations under SEQR. Brief discussion ensued. Trustee Cicchetti stated that the hearing helped to clarify many areas, especially the discussion on size. Trustee Marren asked for a clarification on #4 and Mr. Donovan stated the Planning Board must not only look at the quality of the wetlands but also at the availability of alternate sites and at mitigation. Given the wording in the current ordinance there is not much chance of many permits being granted. Mayor Gandolfo stated that questions have come up with regard to this ordinance that need to be answered and that the amendments are not soley for the purpose of the applications before the Board at this time. Trustee Cicchetti moved to declare the Board of Trustees as lead agency and have Counsel prepare the environmental assessment form which is required, seconded by Trustee Alter and motion carried. The Mayor stated that before any decision is made everyone will be notified. The Mayor continued the public hearing on the proposed tax abatement to rent controlled properties occupied by seniors.. Jim Tierney addressed the Board stating that he has checked around and many villages already have this exemption and v/ould like to Board to consider passing this resolution. After a brief discussion, Trustee Cicchetti moved, seconded by Trustee Alter to adopt a local law authorizing tax abatement to rent controlled or rent regulated properties occupied by senior citizens. More discussion ensued; Trustees Marren and Cicchetti suggested that we wait and see what the impact would be. Mayor Gandolfo commented that it is very difficult to determine the impact until the seniors start applying. Trustee Marren moved to table this discussion until the second meeting in April, seconded by Trustee Cicchetti and motion carried with Trustee Treacy voting No. 3 �I Approval of Minutes Trustee Treacy moved to approve the minutes of February 19, 1991, seconded by Trustee Marren with the following corrections: Trustee Treacy stated that on page 1, last paragraph should read NYS Commission on Government Integrity not NYCOM, page 5, line 2, Halpern Associates should be deleted and Trustee Marren stated on page 4, first paragraph, last line financial should be added to ad hoc committee; with those corrections motion carried with Trustees Cicchetti, Alter and Hyland abstaining. Trustee Rey moved to approve the minutes of the 79 College Avenue Corporation meeting, seconded by Trustee Marren and motion carried with Trustees Cicchetti, Alter and Hyland abstaining. Approval of Warrants Trustee Hyland moved to approve the warrants and authorize the treasurer to pay the bills, seconded by Trustee Cicchetti. The Deputy Treasurer commented that there were a few changes; payment to Tappan Car Wash should be $125.50 and requested the Board to approve reimbursement to the Senior Citizens for $4482.00, also payment of $3160.64 to Radio Shack should be deleted; with those changes motion was carried. Total for General Fund is $59,882.43 and Water Department Fund, $7895.02. Communications, Petitions & Requests The Deputy Village Clerk was in receipt of a letter from Greene County Importing Corp. informing us of their intent to renew their NYS Grocery Store Beer License.

Trustee Rey stated that the candidates will appear on cable television on March 11th from 8PM-10PM for a debate. Public Comments Armando Galella asked that the Board consider more handicapped parking spaces on the business section of Beekman Avenue. Trustee Treacy suggested referring this to the Handicapped Committee. Eileen Meade commented that at a meeting with Hugh Jones, he told the Commission that there was an agreement with the Village to dump at Devries Field. The Mayor stated that this is not true and no agreement was ever made with him; Village Counsel will send a letter to him regarding this. Mrs. Meade asked where the $12,000. which GM donated was applied. Mayor Gandolfo stated that it was used to level and grade the field. Mrs. Meade asked why flatbed trucks were at the field and when the debris will be removed. The Administrator stated that Metro North has a right of way and have been granted access for a day or more for their trailers. Most of the debris has been removed and all will be gone by the time Little League starts. If the hay is not removed, we can use it. There being no further comments, the Mayor closed the public comment section. Mayor's Report Mayor Gandolfo received a call from Mayor Pilla of Tarrytown suggesting that the two villages sponsor a joint home coming celebration for those residents who are presently serving in the Gulf. We would like to set up a Citizens' Committee to organize the event. Trustee Marren suggested that the Street Festival might be a good time to have this. Mayor Gandolfo stated that Jeffrey Garrant of North Tarrytown is presently serving in the Air Force. She asked for anyone's help in getting the names of any other local residents serving there. On April 2 0th the North Tarrytown Alumni Association will be dedicating a tree in front of Village Hail in memory of Thomas Cavalieri, a former trustee and graduate of North Tarrytown. For further information, contact Fannie Stone or Mario DeFelice. Sgt.

He suggested that the Finance Committee meet on March 22, and the whole Board meet on the 25th or 27th to review the budget. It was decided to meet on Monday, March 25th. Trustee Cicchetti commented that we are starting out in real trouble with the cuts in revenue sharing and state aid. Trustee Rey reported that he has contacted Mr. Moulton of Moulton Insurance Company regarding his fee and stated that if we used in house personnel, perhaps we could save the $5000. The Mayor stated that although this was quite commendable to try and save money, we must look at the success or failure of the program and whether or not we have the personnel in house to do this. Discussion ensued on the feasibility of this change. Trustee cicchetti commented that he would like take this up at the budget session. Trustee Hyland entered the Police Report into the record. Trustee Marren gave an update on the Group Home; she put in a call to the State to try to push the issue, but she did not have much success and will try again.

Tarry town N.Y. 10591 March 5, 1991 Dear Mayor Gandolfo and The Village Board of Trustees, The Wetlands/Watercourse ordinance in concept is very valuable to a community. Kyself and my family support environmental protection,however this local law for wetland/watercourse protection is much too RESTRICTIVE. In particular the small property owner who has paid taxes on property for more than 30 years in hopes of subdividing a lot is greatly penalized by the restrictive language in the law. The law does not take into consideration the character of the land versus a common PUDDLE. When you apply this law to someones front lawn or to a major track of farm land or open fields the character is considerably different. This ordinance has only one standard and is extremely rigid in its application. In the case of the small property owner, a small plot of land that is within the 100 ft. of a wetland this area needs to be evaluated in terms of the following criteria: a) Does it serve an educational value? b) Are their endangered species threatened? c) Is there aesthetic value to the wetland? d) Does the land serve a wetland function? The mitigation clause calls for a 2:1 replacement. No other state has such a strict ordinance. The State Of New Jersey just passed a 1:1 replacement recently and according to experts this is viewed as restrictive. This law has no room for variances at all. More specifically; a) There is no time requirement on land ownership. b) There is no hardship clause. c) There is no wetland analysis exemption clause. d) There is no consideration of the tax payer constitutional right to develop property that he has paid HIGH TAXES on for multiple years. �Wetlands/page 2 Kringas letter . March 5, 1991 Finally, This ordinance is inconsistent with zoning requirements. If the zoning requirements are a 5000 sq. ft. minimums for a building lot then the 100 ft. setback requirement of the wetland law , makes it impossible to develop small property. My appeal is to the Mayor and the Board to consider some revisions in our local wetlands law. The revisions that I have suggested are consistent with federal guidelines and other neighboring communities laws. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Janet Gandolfo, Mayor Village of North Tarrytown 28 Beekman Street North Tarrytown, N.Y. 10591 •^-(^ Re: Wetland/Watercourse Protection Law Dear Janet: I have received a copy of a letter sent to you by Jim Donovan of Frederick P. Clark Associates, in which he suggests certain revisions to the Wetland/Watercourse Protection Law ("the Law"). Since this law had its origin in the Conservation Advisory Committee, of which I am a member, I am taking the liberty to provide you, and by the copy to John Hughes, to the Village Attorney, with my comments on the suggested amendments. As a threshold matter, since the Law had its origin in model local legislation produced by the Westchester County Soil and Water Conservation District, and in particular Laura Tessier, its staff director, who is a well-regarded wetland expert, I have taken the liberty of sending a copy of this letter and the F.P. Clark letter to Ms. Tessier, and have solicited her reaction, I have had over fifteen years of experience in wetland regulatory matters, including having represented EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers in the later 1970s and early 1980s, while the federal wetlands program was being developed, and I will try to bring some of that experience to bear on the matters suggested by Clark Associates. Definition of Wetland. Clark suggests simplifying the definition of wetland to "reflect the general wording of the federal government", indicating that such a change was recently suggested by the County Soil and Water Conservation District. Although I have no particular quarrel with doing that, you should know that one reason the definition is as detailed as it is relates to a desire to avoid uncertainty and to limit local costs. The federal definition requires numerous judgment calls, which must be made at each site by �I AUSTIN N E W YORK experts. Such judgment calls can be expensive and are subject to challenge. Although the current language is far from perfect, it has the one significant advantage of clarity and certainty of application. Wetland/Watercourse Buffer. suggestion. I agree with Clark's Minimum Wetland Size. I disagree entirely with this suggestion. First, an arbitrary size limitation is inconsistent with the generally-held notion that even a very small wetland can be very important in the right location. For North Tarrytown, moreover, 1/10 acre is too large a threshold. For example, recently an applicant before the Planning Board proposed to destroy a very small, but very unique wetland area, and has been (or will have to be) told to consider alternatives which are available to it. Although probably larger than 1/10 acre, this is still small. The federal law contains no jurisdictional thresholds, and the Corps of Engineers regulatory program employs a convenience threshold of ten acres for freshwater wetlands, which (1) assumes that local regulation will fill the gap and (2) which is subject to withdrawal in individual projects. Animal Grazing. The suggestion by Clark makes sense. Necessary and Unavoidable Impacts. I also disagree with this suggestion, which cuts to the heart of the protectiveness of this law. A similar issue was raised several years ago in connection with §404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, with EPA, and ultimately the federal courts, concluding that if these laws are to work, offsite, as well as onsite alternatives must be considered relevant. In the case that established this principal, the developer conveniently bought a parcel that was mostly wetland, because it was cheap. He did not buy a nearby parcel that did not have wetlands that would have served equally well for his shopping center. It was, at the time of the relevant litigation, owned by another developer who had no intention of selling. The court concluded that if the activity could be done as well on an upland area, the impacts were neither necessary nor unavoidable. By rewording the Law to limit alternative site consideration only to sites owned by the applicant at the time virtually creates a loophole that creative land assembly will be able to exploit. I do, however, agree that non-wetland environmental impacts associated with development on upland sites should be considered, and thus would support amending the Law to factor this consideration into the alternatives analysis. �SIDLEY <Sc N E W YORK AUSTIN Mandatory Mitigation. This comment by Clark seems cynical to me. The federa-1 wetland program, which historically did not require mandatory mitigation, has been altered within the last two years to require mandatory mitigation. That change was premised on the realization that otherwise no meaningful mitigation would occur. The two-for-one replacement formula recognizes that man-made ecosystems are generally inferior to natural systems, and thus if you destroy a natural system a greater area of artificial wetland needs to be created as a replacement. The whole point of these laws is to reverse the trend of destroying these important areas because they were cheap to buy. If you eliminate mandatory mitigation, you eliminate the disincentive. Wetland Buffer Replacement. position on this point.

Laura Tessier CAC Chair �TURNQUIST ARCHITECTS 95 BEEKMAN AVE NORTH TARRYTOWN NEW YORK 10591 TEL 914-631-9107 March 4, 1991 The Honorable Janet Gandolfo, Mayor & the Board of Trustees, Village of North Tarrytown 2 8 Beekman Avenue North Tarrytown, New York 10591 Re: Local Law for Wetland/Watercourse Protection Dear Mayor and Trustees: This letter is intended to describe the dilemma of two of my clients who want to build 1 family houses in the Village of North Tarrytown. The first client has requested consideration by the Village of North Tarrytown Planning Board for a subdivision on Webber Avenue. The owner wishes to subdivide a parcel and create 2 conforming lots on which he would build houses for his son and daughter. The project appeared to be acceptable to the Planning Board until the Village Planning Consultant pointed out that the parcels were within 100 feet of a watercourse. This watercourse, it was suggested, may run under the owners present lawn area. A surface investigation by this office (during all seasons) and the description of soil encountered by the owner when creating the lawn suggested that if there is any movement of water, it must be well below the present grade. This type of watercourse movement is common along the Hudson River Valley, especially during the spring thaw. Water penetrates the surface soils and reaches the substrata of rock and flows from the high points of the Village down to the Hudson River. The owner is now confronted with the additional cost of determining the possible existence of a watercourse and whether or not the property falls under the Wetland/Watercourse Protection Law. The second client subdivided a parcel on Tappan Avenue some 3 years ago. The subdivision created 2 conforming lots. At that time the owner was unable financially to construct the 2 one family residences, one of which he had intended to live in. Recently the client has directed this office to prepare construction documents �The Honorable Janet Gandolfo, Mayor & the Board of Trustees, Village of North Tarrytown March 4, 1991 page 2 for the 2 houses. Consulting with the Building Inspector, he pointed out that the 2 parcels in question are within 100 feet of the Pocantico River and they would fall under the Wetland/ Watercourse Protection Law. The lots appear to be entirely clear of any wetlands and/or watercourse and would not in any way affect same. The future of these parcels are in question. To summarize, these 2 clients over the years have planned to build a home for themselves and/or their relatives. Thinking that they had buildable lots, these people have discovered that there is a very good chance that they cannot build and that the parcels are basically worthless. Reviewing the present "Local Law for Wetland/Watercourse Protection", this office feels that this law is too restrictive; there is no room for individual variances; there is no consideration for hardship and if required, the "Mitigation Policy" as described by a ratio of 2:1 is unusually strict. The Law has good intentions and would limit large scale projects (as it should) but unfairly penalizes the small individual property owner. Having heard some of the recommendations of the Village Planning Consultant, this office urges the Mayor and the Board to consider them and revise this very restrictive law. We are all in favor of protecting our Wetlands and Watercourses and these modifications will not realistically affect our natural resources. Thank you for your interest.

Meder, AICP Jim Donovan, RLA, ASLA February 26, 1991 Mayor Janet Gandolfo and Members of the Village Board of Trustees Village of North Tarrytown Village Hall 2 8 Beekman Avenue North Tarrytown, New York 10591 Subject: Revisions to the Village's Wetland/Watercourse Protection Law Dear Mayor Gandolfo and Members of the Village Board: In a previous letter to you, we outlined suggested revisions to the existing Village Wetland Law. The revisions were meant to make the Law easier to administer, and more equitable to Village residents. As requested by the Village Board, we have drafted exact changes to the Law based on our earlier recommendations. These proposed text changes take into account outside comments already received by the Village on our suggestions. Our proposed text changes, which are identified with proposed additions underlined and proposed deletions in brackets, are as follows. 1. To eliminate the discrepancy about grazing horses, modify Section 61-5. AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITY as follows: The activity of an individual farmer or other landowner in grazing and watering livestock that directly produce agricultural products? making reasonable use of water resources for agricultural purposes; harvesting the natural products of wetlands, excluding peat mining and timber harvesting; and selective cutting of trees, filling or selective cutting of trees. "Agricultural activity" does not mean clear-cutting trees; filling or deposition of spoil; mining; grazing of horses for nonagricultural purposes or draining for growing agricultural products or for other purposes. �^r FREDERICK P. CLARK ASSOCIATES, INC. Planning/Development/Environment/Transportation Mayor Janet Gandolfo Page 2 February 26, 1991 2. To shorten the definition of Wetland, and to reference the Federal definition, delete Section 61-5. WETLAND/FRESHWATER WETLAND Subsection B. and substitute the following text: B. All areas that comprise hvdric soils and are inundated or saturated bv surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of hvdrophytic vegetation as defined bv the Federal Interagency Committee for Wetland Delineation. 1989. Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands. US Army Corps of Engineers, US Environmental Protection Agency, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and USDA Soil Conservation Service, Washington, DC. Cooperative Technical Publication. (Note: Four pages of wetland definition will be deleted by this modification.) As part of this modification, the following definitions in Section 61-5 can also be deleted: 3. DOMINANTS or DOMINANCE FACULTATIVE SPECIES FERROUS IRON GROWING SEASON HISTOSALS/ORGANIC SOILS LONG DURATION MINERAL SOIL MUNSELL COIL COLOR CHARTS OBLIGATE UPLAND SPECIES VERY LONG DURATION WATER TABLE WETLAND HYDROLOGY WETLAND PLANTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, 19 8 6 To provide watercourses with a buffer, modify Section 61-5. WETLAND/WATERCOURSE BUFFER as follows: The "wetland/watercourse buffer" is a specified area surrounding a wetland or watercourse that is intended to provide some degree of protection to the wetland or watercourse from human activity and other encroachment associated with development. The "wetland/watercourse buffer" shall be subject to the regulations for wetlands as defined in this local law and shall be determined to be the area extending one hundred (100) feet horizontally �FREDERICK P. CLARK ASSOCIATES, INC. Planning/Development/Environment/Transportation Mayor Janet Gandolfo Page 3 February 26, 1991 away from and paralleling the wetland boundary or watercourse edge or greater than one hundred (100) feet where designated by either the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation or the local approval authority. 4. To not penalize Village residents who have owned land for a long time, modify Section. 61-12.A. (7) as follows: The availability of preferable alternative locations on the subject parcel or, in the case of an activity which cannot be undertaken on the property without disturbance to wetland/watercourse, the availability of other reasonable locations for the activity that could be obtained, used, expanded, or managed at any time during the proposed activities planning history, whether or not such locations are now under the ownership or control of the applicant. Additionally, modify Section 61-12.D.(3) as follows: There is no feasible alternative to the proposed activity on any other site that could be obtained, used, expanded or managed at anv time during the proposed activities planning history that is not a wetland/watercourse or wetland/watercourse buffer. 5. To provide more flexibility in the types of required, modify Section 61-13.A. as follows: A. mitigation After it has been determined by the Planning Board pursuant to § 61-12D that losses of wetland/watercourse or buffers are necessary and unavoidable and have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable, the applicant shall develop a mitigation plan which shall specify mitigation measures that provide for mitigation as follows: (1) For losses to wetlands: replacement wetlands or enhancement or restoration of existing wetlands [/watercourses] that recreate as nearly as possible the original wetlands[/watercourses] in terms of type, functions, geographic location and setting and that are larger than, by a ratio of two to one (2:1), the original wetlands[/watercourses], provided the ecological impacts associated with the �FREDERICK P. CLARK ASSOCIATES, INC. Planning /Development/Environment/Transportation Mayor Janet Gandolfo Page 4 February 26, 1991 mitigation are not greater than those associated with the proposed activity; (2) For losses to watercourses: replacement, enhancement or restoration of the watercourse that recreates as nearly as possible the disturbed or lost portion of the original watercourse in terms of type, function, geographic location and setting, bv a ratio of one to one for the disturbed or lost portion of the watercourse or the preparation of other mitigation plans acceptable to the approving authority that serves to replace or enhance the functions of the watercourse affected bv the proposed activity; and (3) For losses to wetland buffers; enhancement of existing wetland buffers. or enhancement or restoration of existing wetlands by a ratio of two to one for the area disturbed bv the proposed activity that replace or enhance the functions of the wetland or wetland buffer. For the purposes of mitigation, losses of wetland/watercourse buffers will be viewed as losses of wetland. On-site mitigation shall be the preferred approach, off-site mitigation shall be permitted only in cases where an on-site alternative is not possible. 6. To revise the regulation of smaller wetlands, the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery has suggested an addition of another subsection to Section 61-12. This addition should be considered if the Board feels that it would like to consider any sort of limiting of the regulations for smaller wetland areas. The wording of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery proposal, with our suggested modifications, is a follows: 61-12 E. Waiver. If the area of a wetland/watercourse for which there has been an application for a permit is one-tenth of an acre or less, the Planning Board shall be empowered, upon such conditions as it may deem appropriate, to waive any of the provisions of Section 61-12 and 61-13 of this local law in issuing such permit. 7. To clarify potential discrepancies within the law as to the delineation of wetlands, modify Section 61-3.B. as follows: �FREDERICK P. CLARK ASSOCIATES, INC. Planning/Development/Environment/Transportation Mayor Janet Gandolfo Page 5 February 26, 1991 Rules for establishing and interpreting wetland/watercourse boundaries. The boundaries of a wetland/watercourse ordinarily shall be determined by field investigation [,] and flagging [and] with a subsequent survey by a licensed land surveyor unless the last is waived by the North Tarrytown Planning Board. The North Tarrytown Planning Board may consult and/or may require the applicant to consult with biologists, hydrologists, soil scientists, ecologists/botanists or other experts as necessary to make this determination pursuant to the definition criteria contained in § 61-5. Additionally, modify Section 61-10.A.(6)(a) as follows: (a) The location of all wetlands/watercourses as determined by a qualified ecologist/botanist [and/or]j_ soil scientist and/or other qualified experts no earlier than twelve (12) months prior to the date of filing the application. If you have any questions on our proposed text, please let us know. We are planning to attend the Village Board's upcoming public hearing to more fully explain the proposed revisions to both you and the public. We have taken the liberty of forwarding a copy of these proposed revisions to anyone who commented on our earlier suggestions.

In accordance with Section 61-22 B of the Wetland/Watercourse Law we request an amendment to the Law to add the following: "(Section) 61-12 E. Waiver. If the area of a wetland/watercourse for which there has been an application for a permit is one-tenth of an acre or less, the Planning Board shall be empowered, upon such conditions as it may deem appropriate, to waive any of the provisions of this local law in issuing such permit." We submit that adoption of this amendment will enable the Planning Board to act favorably upon the pending application of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. We hope and understand that the Board of Trustees will hold the required public hearing at the earliest possible date, and we thank you in anticipation of that action.

This item incorporates a waiver for the regulation of wetlands one-tenth of an acre or less in size (4,356 sf) by the Planning Board "... upon such conditions as it may deem appropriate...." Our comments regarding the advisability of establishing arbitrary thresholds (District letter to Donald Stever dated 12/31/90) stand; however, should the Board decide to adopt this waiver provision, we strongly recommend that standard criteria for the granting of waivers be specified in the text of the ordinance to remove the potential for arbitrary decision-making.
