Sanjay Shah gave a brief explanation commenting that the SPCA provides a shelter for stray dogs. MaryAnn Connolly asked if there was a quota system on the number of summonses a Police Officer must issue. She also commented that when you are watching the meeting at home every little sound like the rustling of papers is picked up and it is difficult to hear. Chief Warren responded there is not a quota system. Mario Belanich also asked about the SPCA contract and the Mayor explained. The Mayor will contact the Town of Mt. Pleasant on the matter of animal control Miguel Jimenez and George Samaras wanted to know why we couldn't hire three new Police Officers instead of the three transfers. They stated that it would save the village a lot of money. Mario Belanich commented that we could hire a police dispatcher instead of a Police Officer and asked about the shopping cart situation and tag sale signs. Mayor Zegarelli commented that new officers need to be trained before going on duty and we need officers who are already trained for the upcoming summer months and the overtime spent far exceeds the total of these transfers. The shopping cart situation is a difficult one to enforce. The store owners should be taking care of this situation before people leave the store with the carts. Chief Warren commented that a police dispatcher cannot be left alone, he must be supervised at all times. As far as tag sales the signs must be taken down after the sale is over within a certain amount of time. Miguel Jimenez wanted to know how the village was doing financially.

By Order of the Board of Trustees Angela Everett-Village Clerk Dated: April 15, 1999 �Appendix A State Environmental Quality Review FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM ^ , 7 I 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 unmeasurable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may not 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 enough 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. 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 potentially-large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact is actually important. Part 2: Part 3: DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE - Type 1 anctUnlisted Actions Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project: • Part 1 • Part 2 D Part 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 magnitude 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 impact(s) and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be prepared. • 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. *A Conditioned Negative Declaration is only valid for Unlisted Actions Rezoning of 11.23 ± acres from R-3 One Family Residence/moderate density to R-1 One Family Residence/ Open Development Name of Action Village of Sleepy Hollow Board of Trustees Name of Lead Agency Philip Zeaarelli Print or Type Name of Responsible Officer in Lead Agency Mayor Title of Responsible Officer Signature of Responsible Officer in Lead Agency Signature of Preparer (if different from responsible officer) Mav 25. 1999 Date 1 �CX_ 9o2 I PART 1 -PROJECT INFORMATION Prepared by Project Sponsor NOTICE: This document is designed to assist in determining whether the action proposed may have a significant effect on the environment.

Provide any additional information you believe will be needed to complete Parts 2 and 3.

The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst. The Examples 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.

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. 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. e. If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact, then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3. f. If a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) in the project to a small to moderate impact, also check the Yes box in column 3.

Instructions Discuss the following for each impact identified in column 2 of Part 2: 1. Briefly describe the impact. 2. Describe (if applicable) how the impact could be mitigated or reduced to a small to moderate impact by project change(s). 3.
