Before starting the regular order of business, the Mayor introduced Diane Maas who is organizing the clean up of Peabody Field on Saturday, April 29th starting at 9AM. She commented that everyone is fnvited to participate and will receive a T-shirt. This is in coordination with Earth Day which took place last week but due to the holidays last weekend, it was postponed to this weekend. Public Comments John Edwards reported on the Tourism Committee activities. They are going to create different characters to march in all parades starting with the Memorial Day parade. He would like to be able to use the senior van to transport people back and forth. He thanked Joe DeFeo for the signs on Pine Street. He asked if lines could be painted on Pine Street so that cars don't park over a space. The Mayor commented that this is not usually a good idea on a residential street, but will look into the matter. David Smith, Planner Consultant, gave a brief overview of the DEIS of where we are and gave a brief summary of the environmental review process regarding Kendal* on-Hudson. (Part of official minutes) Jerry Fine, Village Engineer gave a brief report on the water and sewer situation with regard to the Kendal project. David Smith stated that the applicant is to take all comments from everyone into consideration and re-submit documents for approval. Joel Sachs, Special Counsel, stated that we need a resolution for this. Attached resolution #35 was then passed. Andrew Tung, Planner of Divney, Tung and Schwab, representing the applicant for Kendal on Hudson stated that it is their intention to provide the Village with the documents that address all the issues outlined in the scope. 1 �Susan Fisher of Birch Close asked when the residents could speak on this matter. Joel Sachs commented that when the DEIS is completed it will be made available to the public and written comments can be made and public hearings will be held. Mr. Sachs commented that the Board is aware that the present zoning there does not permit this use. A public hearing must be held to change this zoning. We can have a public hearing on the DEIS and zoning amendments together. Mayor's Report Mayor Zegarelli commented that we received correspondence from our insurance carrier regarding the Samaras case. We received a shut off notice from Con Edison for 7 Hudson Street.

We have received a franchise payment from Media-One. Because of the threat of the West Nile Virus, the Mayor commented that holes have been drilled at the old GM site so that the water drains properly. He received correspondence from Mr. Casares regarding sidewalk on 8 Francis Street.

Discussion of the critical roadways is not consistent and all the requested information (for example, pavement conditions, availability of parking, presence of sidewalks) is not included for each critical intersection. 2. p I Page III.C.9. Accidents were analyzed for the period beginning in January 1997 through October 1999, which is less than three years. The analyses should be a three-year period; either include the last quarter of 1999, or, if that information is not yet available, include the accident data for the last quarter (October through December) of 1996. Accident rates for intersections are typically calculated on the basis of Million Entering Vehicles (MEV), not per Million Vehicle Miles (MVM). The accident rates should be recalculated using the appropriate MEV values. (The Manual of Traffic Engineers Studies. prepared by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, indicates that the total entering vehicles equals the 24-hour intersectional entering volume multiplied by 365, then multiplied by three for the length of the study period.) The applicant rates, by type of intersection. In terms one through five of the Accident Rate Analyses (Table 2 in the Traffic Appendix) should be completed for all intersections, to document that the accident rate for an intersection does not exceed the statewide accident rate. The accident analyses do not include the accidents for roadway sections, typically calculated on the basis of MVM. Accidents along the roadway sections should be identified and i �To: Hon. Philip Zegarelli, Mayor and Board of Trustees Re: Kendal on Hudson DEIS April 25, 2000 Page 4 included in the analyses. In addition, the severity of each accident should be included in Table 1; did the accident involve property damage only, personal injuries (and the number of people injured), or fatalities (and the number killed). A collision diagram should be prepared for the study area. 3. Page III.C. 16. Documentation should be provided for data (existing traffic patterns, travel routes, demographic patterns and housing opportunities) and the assumptions that were used to prepare the Site Traffic Distribution. 4. Pages III.C.20-25. Results of the evaluation of the two alternatives access scenarios should be included, containing the capacity analysis, particularly the southern access scenario. 5. Page III.C.31. The DEIS calls for the monitoring of future traffic volumes to determine if traffic signal warrants would be met. A review of the traffic volumes depicted on Figures 1 and 2 of the Traffic Appendix for the intersection of U.S. Route 9 with the ramps to/from westbound Route 117 indicate that the EXISTING traffic volumes for the AM peak hour, mid-afternoon peak hour, and the PM peak hour meet one or more warrants for the installation of a traffic signal. Accordingly, a traffic signal warrant study should be performed at this time. 0. Page III.C.32. The section on Traffic Mitigation does not include a discussion on Traffic Calming. That discussion should be included. 7. Page III.C.34. The discussion on Construction Traffic should include an estimate on the number of vehicles driven by construction workers that will enter and leave the site daily, and the shift(s) that they will be working. The number of construction trucks that will enter and leave the site during the peak hours should also be identified. 8. Page III.C.36.

Here and throughout the DEIS the Applicant indicates that the design of the proposed facility will "create the spatial and visual feel of a hillside village" and "give the buildings a traditional appearance not unlike other residential structures in the surrounding Hudson River villages." The text should be revised to indicate that this is the Applicant's opinion. It is suggested that photographs of other Hudson River hillside villages and residential structures which support the Applicant's position be provided to back up this contention. „- 3.
