George Hritz stated that he agrees with Mr. Monroe and Mr. Jimenez and that this is a historic opportunity for this village. Lydia Michalides of Howard Street commented that this is a very good project and people need to be involved. She suggested that the public be informed of upcoming public hearings by other means beside the newspaper. Mayor Treacy commented that we will post notices throughout the village when hearings are to take place.

He thanked everyone involved in developing the LWRP and thanked members of the community for their services. Trustee Sweet stated that this represents the fruition of eight years of work. We started out with no money, but a desire to learn about the LWRP for this village and contacted the Department of State and they sent us Jeff BeAch who has been the driving force. Accomplishment has been made after many, many meetings. He commented that he agreed with Jim Donovan's suggestion to schedule hearings at various places throughout the village. It is a program that this village needs. Mayor Treacy commented that we are actively working on some of the proposals of the LWRP; Riverfront Park, trail system, bridge has been completed and the Horseman's Trail is almost completed.

Trustee Hyland moved, second by Trustee Horecky to open the public hearing, motion carried. Mayor Treacy stated that he checked with other villages and no village in Westchester County has changed the law adopted in 1993. He also checked with NYCOM and no one in the State of New York has decided to adopt the supersession of this law. John Jadus asked what precipitated the amendment. Trustee Sweet commented that fifty years ago the process and manner of appointments to the Planning Board was done by the Board of Trustees. In 1993 the State changed this law. The appointments should return to the original format. There should be six people choosing members rather than just one; there should be a balance of power in the appointment process. A resident in the audience agreed with Trustee Sweet that this Board would not appoint on merits and appointments would degenerate to political bickering. Executive Officer, the Mayor should have this power and should try and work together. but felt that the As Chief the Board Trustee Sweet commented that if this is passed tonight it would go before the public on a referendum in November and if it passed then, no appointments would take place until after our March election. Don Caetano, a member of the Planning Board, commented that he never heard of any problems, we all work together very well. The Zoning Board has done a great job also. The Mayor should retain this power of appointments. Miguel Jimenez commented that this is just politics and money should not be spent on the referendum. Trustee Sweet commented that he does not want to make this a political item; it is just a means of returning this power to the Board as it was in the past. Angelo LaMascolo commented that he talked to the members of the Planning Board and they seem to work together very well. He wanted to know what the cost would be for a referendum. The Administrator commented that the Treasurer will put together the figures. Trustee Hyland commented that there would be no cost to the village since this election is being held anyway by the Town. Don Caetano wanted session. to know if this was discussed at a work Trustee Sweet commented that it was brought up for discussion because the people in the community have asked him why the power was changed, he told them he would look into it and that the 3 �village would have to change this law by supersession. He also commented that the present Planning Board members will remain in office and will function until their time is up for replacement. He stated that he is not degrading any member of the Planning Board and he is not playing politics at all; he just feels that this power should be returned to the Trustees. Frank Rizzi wanted the cost of the referendum to be clarified because he stated that there will be no cost to the village and wanted to know if the Administrator checked with the Board of Elections. She commented that she will-. John Jadus asked why did the State Legislature change this law. Trustee Sweet commented that he did not know. There being no further comments, Trustee Hyland moved, second by Trustee Hayes to close the hearing, carried. Trustee Alter commented that the result of this proposal would strip a minority Mayor and give power to a majority Board. He felt it should stay the way it is now. Trustee Horecky commented that it is more democratic to have appointments made by more than one person. Mayor Treacy commented that he received input from the Trustees when he appointed Nick Cicchetti to the Planning Board. Trustee Hyland commented that Mr. Cicchetti was appointed after six other appointments. Linda David commented that as Administrator she implement the decisions of the Mayor and the Board. serves to Trustee Hyland commented that he felt we cannot pass a resolution without the cost factor.

On resolution #09-91-95 discussion ensued on the portion to be done by the Public Works department. The Mayor commented that after the initial work is completed our crews will complete the sidewalk and curb from Depeyster to the Rock of Salvation church. Public Comments The handicapped woman who addressed the Board earlier thanked them for voting for the elevator and asked if there was a time frame. The Administrator commented that they should start in the winter and be completed by the spring. Mr. Kavicky commented that when the sidewalks are done on Cortlandt Street, they should use concrete instead of slate and no one obeys the NO U TURN sign on Beekman Avenue or the stop sign at Howard Street and Kendall Avenue extension. Mayor Treacy replied we will be using concrete when doing the 5 �sidewalks and the Police Committee will speak to the Chief again about enforcing the laws.

The Administrator commented that she received a call from the State and that they have to do a count to justify having the light there and it will take a few months Trustee Hyland asked about the so called parking lot across the street from village hall. The Mayor commented that it is a parcel of land not a parking lot. Discussion ensued. New Business Mayor Treacy accepted a letter of resignation from our Recreation Leader, Lisa Dente with regrets.

The Mayor gave an address at the Temple Beth Abraham last Tuesday regarding "Family in the 90's". The Mayor attended the Open Door Clinic's official opening at their new location in the old Strand Theatre last Sunday. The Mayor commented that he has some good news; General Motors has withdrawn their lav/suit against the Village and we have a five month window of opportunity to work and negotiate further. Trustee Sweet commented that he spoke to the Police Chief regarding the speeding in the Manors particularly on Bellwood Avenue. During a check of cars going through the Manors, it was noted that most cars were travelling at a speed of 30 miles an 6 �hour which is very excessive and he will go further with this if the Board wants him to. The DARE program is in place. Trustee Sweet commented that last Thursday he, Linda David and Trustee Hayes attended the Westchester County Municipal Officials meeting and tonight we passed resolution 09-96-95 with regard to the telecommunications bill. Anyone who is connected with the Saw Mill River sewer system will be affected by a proposed bill which is the cost of investigating and correcting inflows in the sewer lines into Yonkers. There has been an attempt by the committee to ask the County to have this cost absorbed into the County sewer tax. County revaluation is still in the Albany legislature. Perhaps the concept of the whole revaluation will not go forward the way it has been presented so far. Trustee Alter read the attached public works report.

Mr. LaMascolo commented that the people who are within 200 feet of the appeal are notified by certified mail and they are usually the interested parties, plus there is a cost factor. Trustee Hyland wanted to know why we couldn't make the proposed land on Clinton Street into a parking lot where we could park up to forty cars. Our employees park cars across the street which is not considered a parking lot. Discussion ensued. 7 �II Trustee Hyland commented that at the previous meeting he brought up the problem about the garbage on the Avenue and it was to be discussed at the work session.

This Act was in direct response to inappropriate shoreline development and use of our nation's coastal resources, and calls for a balance between development and environmental protection. The CZMA, which was amended in - 1976, 1980, 1986 and 1990 -- provides the framework for coastal states and territories to protect, preserve, develop and restore coastal resources to meet present and future needs. The CZMA provides two major incentives for states to prepare coastal programs: 1. Grants for coastal states to prepare and implement coastal management programs. 2. The "consistency" provision which gives states with approved coastal programs veto power over proposed federal government actions such as the issuance of permits, funding actions, and direct actions if the action is not consistent with the approved coastal program. New York Coastal Management Program The New York State Coastal Management Program was federally approved in 1982 and is administered by the New York State Department of State, Division of Coastal Resources and Waterfront Revitalization. The NYS Coastal Management Program contains 44 coastal policies which provide for the protection, management and development of coastal areas. The coastal policies are used to determine the "consistency" of federal and State actions in the coastal area. A significant component of the Coastal Management Program is Local Waterfront Revitalization Programs (LWRP). New York State has extended the opportunity to over 250 eligible local governments along the State's 3,200 miles of coastline to participate in the Coastal Management Program through the preparation of Local Waterfront Revitalization Programs. Over 100 local governments are preparing or have an approved LWRP. Local Waterfront Revitalmitian Program The purpose of a LWRP is to forge a partnership between the State and local governments to achieve comprehensive management of coastal resources. Due to local governments' land use authority, there is no better way to successfully manage coastal resources than in cooperation with local government. A LWRP is a locally prepared land and water use plan, and decision-making tool which thoroughly describes how the State's Coastal Management Program policies apply in a �community's waterfront area. An LWRP expresses local circumstances, needs and objectives; sets forth standards for coastal development; and describes implementation techniques such as local laws and capital projects. Subject areas addressed in the LWRP include: land and water uses, particularly water-dependent uses; fish and wildlife resources; coastal flooding and erosion; public access and recreation; historic and visual resources; agricultural lands; energy and ice management; and water and air quality. A community is required to: 1. identify and locate its natural and cultural waterfront resources; 2. describe the value of these resources; 3. describe the associated problems, issues, and opportunities; and 4. explain how the resources will be managed through land use management, local laws and achievable projects such as small construction projects or studies. Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Benefits There are four major benefits to a community with an approved LWRP: 1. Management Plan ~ Through the LWRP, a community determines the status of its waterfront, develops a comprehensive waterfront plan, implemented through local laws and projects, to ensure that a community consensus is developed and the best use is made of its natural and cultural waterfront resources. 2. Consistency — State and federal governments are required to adhere to the approved LWRP. In order for proposed state and federal actions — permitting, direct, and funding ~ to proceed, they must be consistent with the LWRP. As such, the LWRP enhances local governments "home rule" powers and leads the way for better decision-making in the local waterfront area. 3. Advocacy. Technical Assistance, and Education — The Department of State will serve as an advocate for the waterfront community, will provide LWRP implementation assistance, and provide information on matters of local concern by various coastal program specialists. 4. Attraction of Funds — LWRPs help to convince funding entities that program projects are realistic, are the result of a comprehensive planning process, are a high priority in the community and have widespread community support. In the past, certain State funds have given LWRP projects a competitive funding advantage. �SUMMARY Village of North Tarrytown Local Waterfront Revitalization Program The Village of North Tarrytown Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) has been prepared pursuant to provisions of the New York State Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act and the New York State Coastal Management Program (NYS CMP). The North Tarrytown LWRP is a comprehensive management program that is based on the policies of the NYS CMP. Upon approval by the NYS Secretary of State, it is to be incorporated into the NYS CMP. The North Tarrytown LWRP would change the NYS CMP by making several policies more specific as they apply within the Village and by specifying the location and types of uses to be accommodated within the waterfront area (in the case of North Tarrytown the waterfront area includes the entire Village). I. The following is a summary of how the Village of North Tarrytown would further specify the policies of the NYS CMP. Policy 1 (Revitalization of deteriorated and underutilized waterfront areas) Specifies revitalization and expansion of recreational uses at Kingsland Point Park; restoration of the Philipse Manor Train Station; redevelopment of the old Duracell Battery plant site with appropriate residential infill in keeping with the surrounding character of the neighborhood; revitalization and development of the School District of the Tarrytown's property adjacent to Lake Fremont for increased active and passive recreational use; redevelopment of the Village-owned public works lot on River Street as a marine-related public park; develop a waterfront pedestrian trail along the waterfront periphery of the General Motors plant property that can serve to link with other trails within the Village and of adjoining municipalities; revitalize the Village's central business districts; and revitalize and redevelop the area along, and on both sides of U.S. Route 9 with appropriate consideration given to landscaping and scenic viewshed protection. Provides that if there is any redevelopment of the General Motors property for other uses, the uses should be a comprehensively planned development which includes a mix of land uses with priority for water-dependent commercial, water-dependent and waterrelated public recreational uses, and waterfront-related public education and entertainment. The mix of uses should also incorporate residential and commercial (with a preference for small-scale retail uses which are in keeping with a waterfront image and the Village's existing historic character). The policy incorporates specific standards from the Village's proposed RF-Riverfront Development Zoning District as standards for the policy. Policy 2 (Water-dependent uses) Provides for water-dependent uses along the Hudson River within a proposed RF- �i 2 Riverfront Development Zoning District. This proposed zoning district provides for a wide range of water-dependent and water-related uses and provides appropriate development incentives. The policy identifies the following locations as those best suited for water-dependent or water-enhanced uses: Philipse Manor Beach/Yacht Club; Kingsland Point Park and Tarrytown Lighthouse; Village public works lot on River Street General Motors property and lands immediately adjacent to the Village public works lot on River Street; and Barrier Oil Company facility on River Street. Protects specified existing water-dependent and water-related uses such as the Barrier Oil Company facility. Policy 5 (Concentration of Development) All areas of the Village are served by Village sewer and water service. This policy encourages location of development in areas where such services and facilities essential to such development are adequate. The policy also identifies desire to retain the rural, very low density residential, agricultural, and open space character of those areas of the Village east of the Old Croton Aqueduct, while at the same time encouraging new development to take place in the more built-up areas of the Village, and rehabilitating and reusing existing building stock. Policy 7 (Protection of significant fish and wildlife habitats) There are no coastal fish and wildlife habitats of statewide significance within or adjacent to the Village of North Tarrytown, however, the Village has identified the following locations as habitats of local significance worthy of protection, preservation, and enhancement: Fremont Lake and associated wetland/watercourses and adjacent upland areas; Philipsburg Manor and DeVries Field wetland/watercourse areas of the Pocantico River; Upper Pocantico River and Gorey Brook watercourse areas; Hudson River immediately adjacent and within 1000 feet of the Village's shoreline; and Lands in State ownership associated with the Rockefeller State Park Preserve and the Old Croton Aqueduct trail. �3 Policy 8 (Hazardous wastes and other pollutants affecting fish and wildlife resources) Identifies need to control the introduction of new industries or technology into the Village which could increase the presence of hazardous materials, and encourages existing industries and uses to use the most current technologies available to minimize the potential threat from hazardous wastes or pollutants to the surrounding environment. Policy 10 (Commercial fishing) Recognizes that commercial fishing adjacent to the Village, and throughout the Hudson River, has historically been an active industry. North Tarrytown encourages traditional small-scale Hudson River commercial fishing activities, including the docking of fishing boats and the provision of related services where land area is sufficient and the possible odor, traffic, and aesthetic impacts do not negatively impact adjacent land uses. Policy 13 (Construction of erosion protection features) Provides that existing bulkheads along the Hudson River shall be maintained in good condition and that new or expanded waterfront development is required to restore and maintain erosion and flood control structures along their River frontage. Also, the construction or reconstruction of docks, boathouses, boat hoists, public access facilities and other shoreline structures shall be undertaken in a manner which will, to the maximum extent possible, protect against the destructive forces of wave action and ice movement. Policy 16 (Public funding of erosion and flood protection measures) Stipulates that public funds not be used for shoreline structures subject to severe wave action and ice movement, except where the public benefits that would accrue to the Village in terms of improving public access and recreation, enhancing tourism, siting water-dependent uses, or needs for public safety outweigh the long term costs of such structures. Policy 17 (Use of non-structural erosion and flood protection measures) Stipulates protection of the steep slopes and hillsides throughout the Village through the use of non-structural measures, when practical, to prevent erosion, especially through the retention, or planting of vegetative covers. Policy 18 (Safeguarding vital interests of the Village) Identifies the Village's concern that any new road, road widening, or infrastructure activities not adversely impact the established residential and neighborhood commercial �i 4 character of the Village or adversely impact the historic, social, and visual integrity and character of the Village. Provision is made for evaluation of proposals for new roads, road widening, or infrastructure activities that address increases in traffic; disruption of existing residential and commercial uses; disruption of current patterns of transportation; prevention of severe environmental, social, historic, and visual impacts, or the loss of recreational areas or the opportunity for access to them. Policy 19 (Access to public water-related recreation facilities and resources) Identifies Kingsland Point Park and the Tarrytown Lighthouse as public recreation resources where public access should be protected, maintained, or increased. Recognizes the regional and state-wide historic importance of Philipsburg Manor, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, the Old Croton Aqueduct, the Old Dutch Church, Patriots Park, and the Tarrytown Lighthouse and provides for their use and protection. Encourages development and protection of pedestrian waterfront access to and linkages between the Village's waterfront property on River Street to Kingsland Point Park and the Tarrytown Lighthouse. Encourages development and protection of public access to and linkages between Kingsland Point Park, DeVries Field (including the restoration of the pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks connecting Kingsland Point Park and DeVries Field), Philipsburg Manor, Douglas Park, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, the Old Croton Aqueduct, the Rockefeller State Park Preserve. Policy 20 (Access to publicly-owned lands adjacent to the water's edge) Encourages establishment of water-dependent and water-enhanced public recreational uses at the ViUage's waterfront property on River Street with potential public access linkage to the Village of Tarrytown's waterfront access resources and to Kingsland Point Park and the Tarrytown Lighthouse. Standards are provided to help ensure public access when reviewing actions that involve the above locations as well as the following additional public-owned recreation resources: DeVries Field; the School District of the Tarrytown's property adjacent to Lake Fremont; Douglas Park; Barnhart Park; Patriot's Park, the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail; and the Rockefeller State Park Preserve. Policy 21 (Water-related recreation) Identifies Kingsland Point Park, Tarrytown Lighthouse, and the Village's waterfront property on River Street for expanded water-related recreation on the Hudson River. The policy also provides that for any redevelopment of the General Motors property water-dependent and water-related recreational uses must be encouraged and given priority over non-water-related uses. The policy also calls for establishment of a system of public access trail linkages from and between the Tarrytown/North Tarrytown village boundary, the Village-owned property on River Street, Kingsland Point Park and Tarrytown Lighthouse, DeVries Field, Philipsburg Manor, Douglas Park, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail, the Rockefeller State Park Preserve, and �5 along Riverside Drive north of the Pocantico River. Policy 22 (Provision of water-related recreation within development adjacent to the shore) Stipulates that in association with any redevelopment of the General Motors property and the lands immediately south of the General Motors property, water-related recreation must be provided for as a mixed use, provided such recreational use is compatible with the primary purpose of the development. The Village's proposed RF-Riverfront Development Zoning District provides standards and incentives to help ensure that the goals of this policy are met. Policy 23 (Historic resources) This policy is applicable to structures, districts, areas, and sites identified in the LWRP as having significance to the history, architecture, archaeology, or culture of the State, the Village, and the Nation. Standards are provided in the Village's historic resource protection provisions proposed for addition to the Village's existing Architectural Review Law that will help ensure protection of these resources. Policy 25 (Overall scenic quality) Identifies nine (9) scenic landscape subunits of the Village and twenty-three (23) viewsheds of local importance for protection and enhancement. Visual impairments include: the irreversible modification of geologic forms, the destruction or removal of vegetation, the destruction or removal of structures, whenever the geologic forms, vegetation or structures are significant to the scenic quality of an identified resource; and the addition of structures which because of siting or scale will reduce identified views or which because of scale, form, or materials will diminish the scenic quality of identified scenic resources. Scenic enhancement includes siting guidelines with structure, function, and landform-related setbacks, clustering, and use of compatible materials, design, scale, and forms. Landscaping and screening provisions are provided for various uses in the Village's zoning regulations. Policy 32 (Use of alternative sanitary waste systems) Future development in the Village should use state of the art low flow water fixtures and water saving devices to reduce the demand for water and reduce the flow to the sewage treatment system. The guidelines in the "New York State Municipal Model Water Conservation Plan" should be followed. Policy 33 (Storm water runoff and sewer overflows) There are no combined sewer overflows in the Village. Best management practices for �6 preventing and controlling storm water runoff will be encouraged and should be implemented by all agencies undertaking or reviewing public works projects or private development projects.

Policy 44 (Coastal wetlands) Application of this policy and standards for protection of wetlands and watercourses are identified for all wetland and watercourse areas included in the Village's Wetland/Watercourse Protection Law. Of the remaining policies, the following are essentially the same as those found in the NYS CMP: 6 9 11 14 15 27 28 30 31 42 43 (Permit simplification) (Recreational use of fish and wildlife resources) (Siting of structures to minimize damage from flooding and erosion) (Coastal activities causing erosion and flooding) (Mining, excavation, and dredging causing beach erosion) (Siting of major energy facilities) (Ice management practices) (Discharge of off-shore energy resources) (Water quality classification) (Reclassification of areas pursuant to Clean Air Act) (Acid rain) �3 The following policies of the NYS CMP do not apply in the Village of North Tarrytown: 3 4 12 24 26 29 (Major ports) (Small harbors) (Natural erosion protection features) (Scenic resources of State significance) (Agricultural lands) (Development of off-shore energy resources) Proposed Land and Water Uses Based on the policies of the LWRP, the Village has identified proposed land and water uses for the coastal area (Ref. Map No. 7 (attached)). North Tarrytown's waterfront has recently begun to be recognized as a significant economic resource, and redevelopment plans are beginning to be formulated. The most significant impending changes are the significant recent growth in tourism in the Village, occasioned by the opening of Kykuit, the John D. Rockefeller, III home as a museum open to the public, and the scheduled closure of the General Motors Corporation assembly plant, which has been the dominant feature on the Village's waterfront for more that one hundred years. The convergence of these two events have opened the way for a fundamental restructuring of the Village's economy, premised upon large scale reconstruction of portions of the waterfront and other areas of the Village. The LWRP will crystallize this trend into a cohesive effort. The Village's LWRP sesks to help maintain and restore the community character of the Village, protecting and improving the natural and cultural resources that contribute to the strong sense of place that Village residents have and want to preserve. The LWRP proposes to achieve this by sustaining the existing land use patterns throughout much of the Village, building on development patterns and trends, utilizing existing infrastructure and resources wisely, and boldly proposing completely new land uses for those portions of the Village currently occupied by the General Motors Assembly Plant. It is the latter opportunity that the Village is proposing the most dramatic shift in land use. The Village is proposing to eliminate the current M - Manufacturing zoning district classification for the lands associated with the General Motors Assembly Plant and change it to a new planned development type of zoning district; the RF - Riverfront Development Zoning District. For this area of the Village, the LWRP and proposed RF Zoning District are designed to encourage an economic stimulus and revitalization of the Village and its Hudson River waterfront by establishing a well-designed, comprehensively planned central focus for the Village's waterfront area. Both the LWRP and proposed RF Zoning District call for a mix of residential and wateifront commercial uses, to serve as a catalyst for the economic and physical revitalization of the entire "downtown" older portion of the Village. It is also the purpose of the LWRP and RF Zoning District to encourage and allow for a mix of uses on the waterfront with a consistent set of design standards lo ensure a unified and comprehensively planned development that will �9 function effectively and achieve a high standard of site planning and architectural design. Such a development for this area of the Village is envisioned to replicate an "old Hudson River waterfront community image" with architectural style and overall development layout to reflect that which prevailed in the Hudson River Valley prior to 1900. Both the LWRP and the proposed RF Zoning District also call for a high level of public access (both physical and visual) to the waterfront. Throughout the remainder of the Village opportunities for growth, revitalization, and redevelopment exist within the predominately long established land use pattern, through a combination of modest new development, redevelopment and rehabilitation of under-utilized sites and property, and enhancement of existing developed areas of the Village. The existing land use pattern of the Village of North Tarrytown is well defined. The historic development patterns still dominate, reflecting the importance of the Hudson River, the Pocantico River, and the railroad as means of transportation and the early resource-based industries of the area. The historic and current land use development patterns have been critical in defining the community character of the Village, an important element identified by Village residents in the LWRP Public Opinion Questionnaire prepared and issued by the Village's LWRP Committee. Federal and State actions are to be consistent with the proposed land and water uses, as well as the policies of the LWRP. The proposed land and water uses section of the North Tarrytown LWRP states what types of development and uses are permitted and where; the policies generally state the manner in which development is to be undertaken. In the determination of consistency, the policies and proposed land and water uses of the LWRP are intended to fully substitute for the policy section of the NYS CMP. II. The U.S. Coastal Zone Management Act requires that in order for a local coastal program to be incorporated into a state coastal management program as a routine program implementation, there are to be no substantial changes to enforceable policies or authorities related to: A. Boundaries There is no boundary change as a result of the Village of North Tarrytown LWRP. B. Uses Subject to the Management Program The scope of uses subject to the policies of the NYS CMP has not changed, The Village of North Tarrytown's LWRP identifies areas where certain uses subject to the NYS CMP are promoted and other uses are not permitted. (Ref. Map No. 7 (attached)). �10 C. Criteria or Procedures for Designating or Managing Areas of Particular Concern or Areas for Preservation or Restoration. The criteria or procedures for designating areas of particular concern as described in the NYS CMP are not changed. The NYS CMP identifies an area subject to an approved LWRP as an area of particular concern. The Village of North Tarrytown LWRP has been developed pursuant to the criteria and procedures described in the NYS CMP and follows the guidelines for LWRPs, found in Appendix B of the NYS CMP. D. Consideration of the national interest involved in the planning for, and the siting of, facilities which are necessary to meet requirements which are other than local in nature. There are no changes to the provisions of the NYS CMP for consideration of the national interest, as a result of incorporating the Village of North Tarrytown LWRP (ref. NYS CMP and FEIS, pp., H-9-2 to H-9-7). �Meeting Date: 09-19-95 Resolution #: 09-97-95 Be it Resolved, the Board of Trustees of the Village of North Tarrytown does hereby approve the following income scale for the partial property tax exemption for senior citizens for the 1996 Assessment Roll: Percentage of Exemption Income Up to $16,500. 50% 17,100. 45% 17,700. 40% 18,300, 35% 18,900. 30% 19,500. 25% 20,099.99 20% 20,699.99 15% 21,299.99 10% MOVED: Trustee Horecky SECONDED: Trustee Hyland } VOTE:6-0 �Meeting Date: Resolution #: 09-19-95 09-96-95 Whereas, The House of Representatives, with NYCOM's support, has overwhelmingly passed a telecommunications bill, H.R. 1555, an action for which the Village of North Tarrytown is most appreciative and thankful to you, and Whereas, the Senate has passed a similar bill, S652, and Whereas, there is to be versions of the bills, and a joint reconciliation of the two Whereas, the House bill, H.R. 1555, contains certain provisions which severely limit the zoning and taxing powers of local municipalities, whereby the Federal Communications Commission shall have preemption authority over local zoning provisions and also, H.R. 1555 contains provisions that would preempt local municipalities from taxing direct broadcast-satellite (DBS) service, ground facilites.

The complete text of the legislation follows. I m m. IA LOCAL LAV7 TO AMEND the Code of the Village of North Tarrytown', Chapter 62_ thereof, to add a new section providing for the supersession of New York State Village Lav/ §7-713(1) regarding the manner in which members are appointed to the Planning Board of the Village of North Tarrytown. Chapter 11 62 shall be amended as follows: fcSV Section 2_8_. 1 Planning Board Appointments. A. Legislative Findings of Fact. Effective July 1, 199 3, the New York State Legislature amended Village Law §7-713, providing in subsection (1) thereof that the power to make appointments of members to a •village's planning board is vested in the mayor of the '.village. This amendment changed the lav/ concerning the •power and manner in which planning board appointments were made, since prior to that time, the lav/ had stated that planning board appointments were to be made by a village's village's board of trustees. In fact, prior to the effective date of that amendment, planning board appointments in the Village of North Tarrytown bad been made by the Board of Trustees. Although the state lav/ concerning planning board appointments has been changed, pursuant to the authority of Municipal Home Rule Lav/ §10(1) (ii) (e) (3) , a -'.village may by local lav/ amend or supersede any provision of .• . .;• the Village Lav/, as long as the state legislature shall not ,:,.!/vhave expressly prohibited the adoption o'f such a local lav/.

Chief Robert Moon 2nd Asst. Chief September 18, 1995 Mayor and Board of Trustees 28 Beekman Avenue North Tarrytown, NY 10591 Gentlemen: We agree with Trustee Hyland's concerns of over crowding in our Village. As we have observed in the past this hampers our emergency aid to all Village residents. Our most recent experience with this problem was on September 10, 1995 when there was an Ambulance call that necessiated the use of Ambulance 18, which is housed in Union Hose's quarters. The Ambulance was hampered in responding to this call by double parked cars. The call in question was a cardiac case that demanded an immediate Ambulance response. Due to the severe over crowding and double parked cars this was not possible. It is very hard to have the Police Department enforce the double parking law when they also respond-to the call scene. We believe over crowding in all parts of the Village can be improved through Code Enforcement. Robert Stiloski is doing an admirable job, but there is a tremendous volumnfcof work. We believe if he had assistants to help him, more Code violations would be corrected. There are two State Qualified Code Enforcement people in the Fire Department. By hiring additional personnel alot of problems would be addressed and quickly corrected. We ask that you discuss our suggestions and let us know if this would be feasible.

No. 3 Org. 1899 September 18, 1995 Mayor and Board of Trustees 28 Beekman Avenue North Tarrytown, NY 10591 Gentlemen: There is a problem with the use of the Fire Companies meeting rooms at Central Headquarters. Columbia Hose is particulary having this problem. Various groups are allowed to hold their meetings in Fire Companies meeting rooms. One group in particular meets once or twice a month, apparently they are connected with the North Tarrytown Recreation Department. Invariably after these meetings the room is left untidy and dirty. This matter has previously been brought to the attention of the Village Administrator and Receation Department. The room continues to be used and left untidy. Why must members of the Fire Department have to always clean up after these meetings, so that they can hold their own meetings? If some of these groups are affiliated jointly with Tarrytown Recreation Programs, are some meetings held in Tarrytown? If not, how come we have to support all of their meetings? It has been suggested to the Fire Council that the group use the Community Opportunity Center for their meetings. If this is not satisfactory, then use all of the Fire Companies meetings rooms on a rotating basis. Also, make someone responsible and accountable for returning the room to the condition in which it was found.

This matter was hastily voted on and approved when in fact, it should have been sent back to a Discussion Group. While there are other dead end streets in the Village to contend with, these two will be the longest and present more problems. We feel the Chiefs presented good reasons why the streets should be kept open. They submitted changes that would allow the streets to remain, open, but allow the homeowners some relief. We hope that all avenues could be explored before the streets are closed.
