A Regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Village of North Tarrytown was held on Tuesday, August 17, 1993 at 8:00 PM. Present: Mayor Sean Treacy Greg T. Jeffers Nicholas Cicchetti Michael Hyland John T. Hayes, Jr. Trustees Absent: Trustee Morris Alter Trustee Steven Baderian Also Present: William T. Regan, Village Administrator Donal M. Walsh, Jr. Village Attorney Mayor Treacy called the meeting to order with a pledge to the flag. Public Hearing Mayor Treacy read the attached public hearing notice with regard to reducing the speed limit on Amos Street. He commented that there were concerns from the residents about excessive speed especially with the construction that is taking place in that area. There were no comments from the public. Trustee Hyland moved, second by Trustee Cicchetti to close the public hearing, motion carried. Mayor Treacy read the attached public hearing notice regarding the proposed moratorium on Route 9. Richard Blancato, attorney for Pateman, Racanelli and Lupetin commented he felt that their request for site plan approval for a proposed car wash has generated this proposed moratorium. He suggested that the Board look very carefully at this proposed moratorium which will cause a hardship on current owners in that area. The proposed car wash will have no harmful effects on traffic; retail businesses will probably cause more traffic. He suggested that the village do a complete traffic study before adopting this moratorium and requested that the Board reconsider its proposal to go forth with this moratorium. He asked if an application in progress can continue. The Mayor stated that until such time as this moratorium is passed, the application process can continue. The DOT has asked for further traffic studies in that area as well as other areas. Thomas Hoyt, resident and professional investor urged that the moratorium be adopted in the best interest of the village to attract investors. We need diversity. He presented an additional petition in favor of the moratorium. Wayne Jeffers, owner of property at 410 N. Broadway presented a petition with approximately 300 signatures against the moratorium 1 �and commented that he felt this moratorium was being proposed due to the proposed car wash on route 9 and felt this was unfair to others. He wished the Board would consider approval for a continuation of his original application. He commented that an in depth study should be done before the moratorium is proposed. Edward Keegan, owner of an auto shop at 285 N. Broadway for 14 years addressed the Board commenting that he does not agree with the moratorium and that the zoning in that area should not be changed. He felt it was unfair to the businesses in that area. Mayor Treacy commented that this moratorium is not being proposed because of the car wash. By preventing new auto repair shops and gas stations from coming into that area, there will be less competition for the existing ones. This will all take time and proposed studies will be done for the best interest of the overall village. He commented that we must adapt to change. GM's closing will hurt these businesses and we need tourism. A business closed for one year then becomes non-conforming. Dennis Fitzgerald, attorney for the owners of 281 N. Broadway, spoke against the moratorium and was in favor of building up the businesses in this village. He suggested that the Board look into the entire business (zoning) area in the village, not just route 9 (spot zoning). This moratorium would be a detriment to the possible sale of the properties in this area. The Mayor commented that the zoning code may be amended from time to time. The village cannot afford to adopt a master plan for the whole village. David Stolman of Frederick P. Clark Associates disagreed with Mr. Fitzgerald on spot zoning. He commented that spot zoning is for small areas and that they are looking at comprehensive studies for a fairly large area. Richard Gerber, of Phelps Memorial Hospital wanted to know if their project was going to be affected. The Mayor commented that they are outside of this zone. Mr. Blancato wanted to know if a moratorium was necessary in order to do this study since there is no emergency. In 1980 a study was done for a part of the village; no change in zoning at that time, in 1988 Frederick P. Clark's study showed no change in the zoning, therefore gas stations are not non-conforming uses. Mayor Treacy commented that the master plan of Census Tract 116 dealt with the inner village area specifically the Beekman Avenue corridor. Much of the plan was based on the fact that GM would be in existence well into the future. Changes now need to be addressed. There being no further comments from the public, Trustee Hyland moved, second by Trustee Cicchetti to close the public hearing, motion carried. 2 �Discussion among the Trustees ensued. Trustee Jeffers commented that he felt there was some sort of political agenda behind this moratorium. He did not think the car wash and GM closing was that big of an issue. He stated that the language in the last paragraph of the proposed moratorium regarding the thirty day extension was inappropriate because it meant it could be extended continually for thirty days at a time. He commented that he was against the car wash but does not think the moratorium is the right thing to do and it does not have anything to do with his brother's application. Trustee Jeffers stated for the record that according to the Ethics Code he cannot vote on this proposed law but could make comments. He stated if this resolution passes, it will cost the village over $100,000. in litigation fees and hoped that the other trustees would not vote in favor of this moratorium. Mayor Treacy stated that the moratorium is dealing with the entire route 9 corridor and is not about the proposed car wash. Approval of Minutes Trustee Hyland moved, second by Trustee Cicchetti to approve the minutes of July 13, 1993. Mayor Treacy commented there were a few additions/corrections. Page 2, 8th paragraph, " the Tappan Zee East proposal has been designated as a New York State Scenic district, page 3, 3rd paragraph, " for gas stations and automotive use, claiming economic studies are needed...."last paragraph "More trees and plants will be planted throughout the project area on Bedford Road", page 4, paragraph 8, "...lumber for picnic shelters....."and under Old Business Trustee Hyland also asked the Village Attorney about combining the Village Prosecutor and Attorney into one position but has not received an answer, with these corrections/additions, motion carried 5-0. Approval of Warrants Trustee Hyland moved, second by Trustee Hayes to approve the warrants and authorize the Treasurer to pay the bills. Total of the General Fund is $213,943.93 and the Water Department fund total is $ 38,495.24. Communications, Petitions & Requests Deputy Clerk read correspondence from Francisco Corona informing the village that they have filed for an eating place beer license; referred to the Police Chief. Deputy Clerk read correspondence from Richard Chulla advising the Board that Octavio Pais has passed as a driver of Pocantico Hook and Ladder and David Eliazarian elected to Rescue Hose and Jason Andreorio elected to the Ambulance Corps. Trustee Hyland moved, second by Trustee Cicchetti to approve these appointments and motion carried 5-0. 3 �Deputy Clerk read correspondence from Ms. Fries, Town Clerk, requesting permission to use our premises on primary day, September 14, 1993. Trustee Hyland moved, second by Trustee Cicchetti to approve her request, motion carried. Mayor Treacy received a letter from E.W. Frandsen protesting the proposed moratorium on route 9. The Mayor has received a petition with 115 signatures against the proposed Phelps incinerator and a letter from Lee Parrier opposing to the proposed incinerator. He received correspondence from the Fire Parade Committee thanking the village for all their help and cooperation in making their first annual parade a success. Mayor Treacy received correspondence from the Recreation Commission commending Michele DeAcutis for her fine work this past year as Recreation Leader and recommended a salary increase. Two other letters were received commending Michele on the great job she did with the day camp; one from Don Reid and one from Mariana Hutter. (letters placed in her file). The Mayor commented that we have received a check for $9543.02 from Continental Cablevision's franchise fee taxes for the quarter ending June 31, 1993. The Mayor was in receipt of a copy of a letter from Sonya Munroe of New Broadway addressed to Barry Samuel, Westchester County Parks Commission, requesting that the foot bridge over to Kingsland Point be restored. Correspondence was received from Klaus Schmidt suggesting that the village might look into the possibility of Amtrak using the GM site for their upcoming plans to build the proposed high speed trains.

Brochure to be posted on bulletin board in Village Hall. Mayor Treacy received a petition from residents of Webber Park opposing the proposed car wash on Broadway. He has received more petitions supporting the proposed moratorium on the route 9 corridor. Mayor Treacy was in receipt of a letter from Pearl Wolf, Chairperson of The National Council of Jewish Women asking the Village to declare September 9, 1993 NCJW's "Day of the Working Parent" and to issue a proclamation. 4 �Trustee Cicchetti has received a response from the New York Secretary of State recognizing the importance of the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program especially in light of the upcoming plant closing. Jeff Beach is the person in charge of working on the LWRP. Trustee Cicchetti commented that this project has not cost the village any money, it has been done by the State people. Public Comments-Agenda Items Mario Belanich asked how much the Village will be paying Frederick P. Clark to do the study, how many people signed the petition against the moratorium, where did this idea come from, is Jim Hart a new employee, and about the position of the Recreation Leader. He commented he was not in favor of the proposed moratorium. Mayor Treacy responded that the idea has been spoken about for a number of years, but nothing had been done. The Village Administrator responded that the study will cost $6000., there were approximately 300 signatures against the moratorium, Jim Hart has been working approximately 10 hours a week as needed taking the place of former employee Sanjay Shah who worked on a part time basis after he left, and the Recreation Leader has been working for us for a year and she is now permanent after passing the civil service test. Frank Occhipinti commented he wondered why Trustee Jeffers stated that the moratorium will cost the village money in litigation, yet he voted to support Trustee Hyland in the lawsuit. Mayor's Report Mayor Treacy reported that as part of the proposed moratorium, the village is required as part of the SEQRA law to file an environment assessment form with this proposed action regarding the moratorium. He then filed negative declarations for the Village of North Tarrytown regarding the interim zoning law of the Village of North Tarrytown. (Part of official minutes) The Mayor and William Regan attended two days of very informative seminars on economic development at West Point such as the complete process for filing for grants which they will follow through an application on the proposed greenway. The Mayor commented that Dr. Michael Masias attended one program on Thursday in his place. Mayor Treacy reported that the Beekman Avenue project is coming under budget with approximately $20,000. left over and the project will continue down part of Cortlandt Street. We will be going out to bid after Labor Day for the 50/50 Urban Development grant storefront improvement program. Mayor Treacy met with Evelyn Carneselly from County Executive 0'Rourke's office to discuss the Greenway project linking to Kingsland Point Park. There is grant money available under the ISTEA program to preserve the bridge. The village would have to 5 �I come up with $40,000. in order to receive this grant money. The Hudson Valley Writer's Center would like to do refurbish the Philipse Manor Train station to use for poetry reading, etc. and the Mayor will be applying for ISTEA grant money for this purpose. The fire department parade was a great success. The Incinerator Committee visited MonteFiore hospital and were impressed with their disposal system. They met with vendors, auto claving, chemical stabilization and dumpster carting companies; Phelps is actively seeking alternate ways to dispose of their waste. Last Thursday the GM Local Task Force met to discuss feasibility studies and what is the best usage for the GM property; GM and the Village met to discuss the Reclamation Law which GM is not very happy with. There will be another meeting next week with the village and GM. Trustee's Reports Trustees Jeffers and Hyland had no reports. Trustee Cicchetti reported that the Police committee asked the police department to do a traffic study from 7AM-9AM on route 9 from the corner of Beekman Avenue to Phelps Memorial Hospital in response to the number of accidents which occur, especially cars making left hand turns into the Manors going north. The study showed that more than half the cars were exceeding the speed limit of 45 mph. He would like to discuss lowering the speed limit on that road and repainting left turn lines going north in the left lane at the next work session. Brief discussion ensued. The Administrator commented that he has written another letter to the DOT asking them what happened to our original request to repaint these lines. Trustee Jeffers commented that perhaps route 9 should be widened for safety. Some people had suggested that the entrance and exits be made into cul-de-sacs. Trustee Hayes commented that issuing more summonses might help to slow down the drivers on route 9 or perhaps it should be treated as a major highway. Trustee Cicchetti stated it is not a super highway; it is just a road that goes through our village. Trustee Hayes commented that there was no library report yet. The Fire Chief met with the Board at their work session to discuss his need for a platform truck and fire patrol truck and commented a demonstration of the truck can be done. The Board will discuss this further at their next work session and the Administrator is waiting for figures on the cost and how to finance the purchase. 6 �/3/ Administrator's Report William Regan read the Zoning Board agenda for August 18th and the Planning Board agenda for August: 19th. The ARB meeting will be held on August 25th. He read the Prosecutor's report through July 15th.

The curbs on Valley Street will be done over the next couple of weeks in preparation for the paving of the road. The 8th Annual Street Festival and race will be held on September 11th. Phase II of the Beekman Avenue sidewalk project is 75% completed.

Be it enacted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of North Tarrytown as follows: A local law regulating for an interim period the issuance of building permits and certificates of occupancy, extensions of building permits, the approval of subdivision plats and the approval of site plans in the area designated as C-l, Highway Commercial. Be it enacted by the Village Board of the Village of North Tarrytown, as follows: I. SHORT TITLE This local law shall be known and may be cited as the Interim Zoning Law of the Village of North Tarrytown. IL LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS OF FACT A. BACKGROUND: The Village of North Tarrytown is concerned about land use and development trends in the village, as well as preserving and retaining the historic aspects of certain areas of the community, especially the area that is known as the "Route 9 corridor." The Village intends to review the standards, objectives and development goals in that area to better effectuate both the growth of North Tarrytown and the enhancement of that part of the community that is its most visible and major thoroughfare. The zoning laws were enacted for that area in the mid-1950's and may no longer be indicative of the goals and concerns of the community. There are several objectives of possible changes currently being considered, as follows: 1. To maintain a comprehensive plan for the corridor to promote the most beneficial relationship among residential, commercial, historic and public areas. 2. To preserve the natural beauty and historic landmarks. 3. To maintain adequate traffic flow and reduce/avoid traffic congestion. �! 4. i To preserve the quality of life of the surrounding historical and residential areas. 5. To promote and enhance the historic character of the Village and encourage the use of the community's historic landmarks and sites by residents and non-residents alike. 6. To recognize the aging infrastructure of the Village and take steps to prevent any further overload of its resources. 7. To recognize the historic and educational value of the Route 9 corridor as a means of providing enjoyment and unique educational benefits to all visitors. 8. To promote the historic nature of the area as a way of enhancing and promoting business in the community. 9. To protect and enhance the Village's attractions to tourists and visitors and the support and stimulus to business thereby provided. 10. To provide a safe thoroughfare for pedestrians and motor vehicles. For these purposes, the Village intends to review the current zoning regulations of the Route 9 corridor in an orderly, concise, efficient and deliberate manner. It intends to review current research, studies and surveys, where available, to consider commissioning new studies, and will present findings and recommendations to the public through informational meetings and formal public hearings. If this procedure leads the Village Board to determine that zoning changes are necessary, this can lead to the creation and adoption of amendments to the present zoning code and subdivision regulations of the Village. B. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS OF FACT: The Village does hereby find, pending the completion of the necessary surveys, studies, meetings, hearings and other actions incident to proper consideration and decisions upon possible revisions and amendments of the Village zoning ordinance and 2 �subdivision regulations, and to reflect such planning as has been indicated above, that appropriate measures must be taken to secure a reasonable interim period to protect the public interest in the various considerations cited above. C. LEGISLATIVE INTENTS Pursuant to authority duly vested in it, to preserve its intended objectives and insure future possible implementation of new regulations it may deem necessary, the Village Board hereby adopts reasonable protective interim regulations during preparation and consideration of the possible aforesaid prospective changes in the zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations. Premature land development in the C-l zone could prejudice the integrity and objectives as set forth above and can result in the establishment of land use patterns which might be inconsistent with and in violation of the intent of said possible zoning changes. The Village Board further has provided herein for a review and appeals procedure to avoid or minimize any inequities or hardships which may derive from the strict application of these regulations. m.

VOTE: 4-0 �A^. 14-16-2 (2/87)-7c _ _ _ 617.21 Appendix A State Environmental Quality Review SEQR FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM Purpose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a project or action may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequently, there are aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasureable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible to allow introduction of information to fit a project or action. Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts: Part 1: Provides objective data and information about a given project and its site. By identifying basic project data, it assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentiallylarge impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. j Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not thel impact is actually important. | DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE-Type 1 and Unlisted Actions Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project: B Part 1 £28 Part 2 DPart 3 Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting information, and considering both the magitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that: & A. The project will not result in any large and important impacts) and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be prepared. D B. Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3 have been required, therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be'prepared.* D C. The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a positive declaration will be prepared.

The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst. • Identifying that an impact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily significant. Any large impact must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. Identifying an impact in column 2 simply asks that it be looked at further. • The Example* provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of impacts and wherever possible the threshold of magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and for most situations. But, for any specific project or site other examples and/or lower thresholds may be appropriate for a Potential Large Impact response, thus requiring evaluation in Part 3. • The'impacts of each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are illustrative and have been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question. • The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question. • In identifying impacts, consider long term, short term and cumlative effects. Instructions (Read carefully) a. Answer each of the 19 questions in PART 2. Answer Yes if there will be any impact. b. Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers. c. If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box (column 1 or 2) to indicate the potential size of the impact If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided, check column 2. If impact will occur but threshold is lower than example, check column 1 . d. If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3. e. If a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by changes) in the project to a small to moderate impact, also check the Yes box in column 3. A No response indicates that such a reduction is not possible. This must be explained in Part 3. I M P A C T O N LAND 1 . Will the proposed action result in a physical change to the project site?

(Continue on attachments) 11 �I ATTACHMENT FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM Local Law /V- of 1993 Interim Zoning Lav of the Village of North Tarrytown The Proposed Action is a local law which regulates the issuance of building permits and certificates of occupancy, the approval of subdivision plats, site plans and special permit uses in the area of the Village designated as the C-l, Highway Commercial portion of the Route 9 Corridor. The law, if approved, would regulate these activities for a period of 90 days, beginning on the effective date of the law, and would be subject to review and renewal by the Board of Trustees. The C-l District/Route 9 Corridor, comprised of 13.9 acres, is especially important to the Village in terms of its historic, educational and commercial value (see Figure 1) . This area is also environmentally valuable as a large portion of it and much of the adjacent area has been designated a Critical Environmental Area in terms of the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) process by Westchester County. The Village of North Tarrytown Board of Trustees is concerned about development trends in the area and wishes to preserve its historic character. In reviewing the current zoning, the Board has found that the C-l District may not be meeting its originally intended objectives and goals, since it was formulated and adopted in the 1950s. Also, since the time the existing zoning was enacted, there have been many environmental, physical, social and economic changes in the Village and in the region as well as changes in community priorities. In addition, the 13-year-old "Master Plan-Census Tract 116," prepared in 1980 by Raymond, Parish, Pine & Weiner, Inc., may no longer reflect the goals and objectives of the Village today due in part to the aforementioned changes. The Board of Trustees wishes to explore the possibility of amending both the zoning and subdivision regulations in order to fulfill the current Village objectives outlined in the proposed local law. Accordingly, the Board has hired a consultant to study the existing pattern of development and to review current regulations involving the subject area. Findings and recommendations will be presented to the public in informational meetings and public hearings. The Board will then determine whether the zoning and subdivision regulations need to be amended. The proposed Interim Zoning Law provide s that no building permits or certificates of occupancy be issued, no preliminary or final approval for subdivision plats be granted and no site plan or special permit approvals be issued while this study is being conducted. The law does, however, allow for exceptions and provides the Board with the right to vary or modify any provision in the law. �The Proposed Action allows the Board time to conduct the review and studies and, in the meanwhile, provides the public with appropriate and reasonable protection from activities which may be contrary to the objectives expressed by the Village in the proposed local law. Since this is a legislative action which only temporarily regulates the issuance of building permits, certificates of occupancy and the granting of approvals of site plans, subdivisions and special permits, it will have no direct impacts on the environment. The Board has the right to vary the law, and any modifications or variances which allow potential development would be subject to SEQR on a site-specific basis. 500\not3-057.sjp:ev 2 �C-1 DISTRICT/ROUTE 9 CORRIDOR Village of North Tarrytown, N„Y. ^ FREDERICK P.

Since this is a legislative action which will, for a limited time, prohibit the issuance of building permits and certificates of occupancy and the granting of approval of subdivisions, site plans and special permits (unless the board varies the law), it will have no impact on land, water, air, plants and animals, agricultural land resources, aesthetic resources, historic and archaeological resources, open space or recreational resources, transportation, noise or odor, public health, or growth or character of the neighborhood. It will, in general, have no significant impacts on the environment.
