This Finding of Consistency is prepared as per the requirements of Chapter 59A, Waterfront Consistency Review, of the Village Code of the Village of Sleepy Hollow. The Agency has been coordinating the environmental review under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and has recently adopted an environmental findings statement. As required under Section 59A - 5.A, the Agency must make a determination that the action is consistent with the LWRP policy standards and conditions as outlined in subsection 59A - 5.G. In the subject case, the action is defined as the proposed zoning text amendments which would allow a CCRC as a special permit use in the H-Hospital District. During the course of the environmental review, but on a parallel track, the Applicant has submitted material to the Waterfront Advisory Committee (WAC). The WAC has recently submitted their consistency findings to the Mayor and Board of Trustees for their review and consideration. In summary, the WAC found that, on balance, the Project was consistent with the goals and policies of the LWRP. In certain instances, the consistency findings made by the Agency echo the comments raised by the WAC, in other instances the Agency has had a different interpretation, based upon their comprehensive understanding of the Proposal and its relationship to the Village of Sleepy Hollow community as a whole. The Project The development project (the "Project" or "Kendal"), as presented during the course of the environmental review and subsequently modified, consists of 225 independent living apartments, 24 assisted living apartments and 42 skilled nursing rooms contained within 435,000± square feet of structures. The proposed CCRC units comprise four buildings. Three of the buildings would contain independent living units (generally referred to in the Applicant's submission documents as ILU East, ILU West and ILU South). The fourth building,-the^ Commons-Building, woulihouse community facilities, a health center, assisted living units and skilled nursing facilities, as well as some additional independent living units. The Project would be sited on the western side of the 1 �Phelps campus, north of the Sleepy Hollow Manor section of the Village and south of the Rockwood Hall section of the Rockefeller State Park Preserve. The proposed site is located in the Village's HHospital Zoning District. The Project contemplates that the H District zoning would be amended to allow CCRC facilities as a special permit use within the district and to otherwise accommodate the Project. Access to the site would be provided from NY Route 117 and Rockwood Road (using an easement over lands that were owned by the Laurance S. Rockefeller Fund prior to dedication of the Rockwood Hall property to the State of New York as part of the Rockefeller State Park Preserve) and through a portion of the Phelps property. Signs for the CCRC would direct traffic to the Route 117/Rockvvood Road access and it is expected that these signs would minimize access via the main Phelps entrance from US Route 9. Parking for 390 vehicles would be provided in structures located beneath the proposed buildings, on-grade in the vicinity of the proposed buildings and beneath a proposed parking deck. The Project has been modified a number of times since its initial submission to the Agency. These modifications have included a reduction in the number of assisted living units from forty to twentyfour, lowering the height of a portion of the Commons Building from an originally-proposed seven stories to five stories, provision for additional vegetative plantings and landscape buffer enhancements and improvements to the sewer and water systems that serve the Phelps Hospital property and the Village. The architecture for the Project has also been modified since the time of the initial submission in order to make the buildings appear less institutional and to achieve greater harmony with the architectural style of the James House, a mansion of local cultural importance owned by Phelps and adjacent to the Project site. Specifically, the proposed architecture is intended to reflect the Italianate style of the James House, and the building facades would incorporate a mixture of different building materials, varying window' treatments and ornamental roof elements to break up the apparent massing of the proposed buildings. The modifications to the Project were based on comments raised as part of the public hearing process on the Project's Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS"), and in response to concerns raised by members of the Agency during prior meetings at which the Project had been reviewed. A comprehensive landscape program is proposed by the Applicant, which would include the preservation of a 7± acre buffer between the proposed CCRC and the Sleepy Hollow Manor neighborhood to the south. This buffer, which presently contains a number of dead or unhealthy trees, would be enhanced by additional reforestation plantings and would be maintained by Kendal. Further, the Applicant proposes a series of landscaped berms within the easement on the north side of the site, adjacent to Rockwood Hall. Landscaping is also proposed between the James House and the proposed ILU East and Commons Building, which is intended to soften the views of the proposed CCRC facility from the James House. Existing views of the Hudson River from the James House are, at present, largely screened by existing vegetation. The proposed plan would remove much of this vegetation, opening up views of the Hudson River and th& western shoreline from the James House. 2 �The Applicant proposes to connect to existing Village water and sewer service. Consistency Findings The Agency, in reaching its conclusion as to consistency of the Project with the Village's Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan ("LWRP"), considered Policies 5, 5A, 7D, 7E, 17,17A, 18,18A, 18B, 18C, 19,19D, 21D, 23,23B, 25,25A, 25B, 32A, 33 and 37 of the LWRP as being specifically applicable to the Project. After careful review of the applicable LWRP policies, the Agency found that the Project, as a whole, is consistent with the purposes and polices of the LWRP. Policy 5 - ENCOURAGE THE LOCATION OF DEVELOPMENT IN AREAS WHERE PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES ESSENTIAL TO SUCH DEVELOPMENT ARE ADEQUATE. Both municipal water and sewer utilities are available to service the Project. The Village has recently acquired water rights that should improve the water supply system in the northern portion of the Village, which includes the Phelps site and the Sleepy Hollow Manor residential neighborhood. Connection of the proposed CCRC facility to this "northern loop" of the Village water supply system will enable the northern loop to back-feed Sleepy Hollow Manor, and is expected to increase pressure to this portion of the Village, which has long been plagued by low water pressure. Similarly, the Applicant proposes to connect to an existing sewer main serving Phelps which, in rum, connects to sewer mains running through Sleepy Hollow Manor to a pump station located on Riverside Drive. The Agency, during the course of the environmental reviewprocess, had expressed concerns that the existing Project could adversely impact the Village's sewer system and aggravate existing capacity problems in the Sleepy Hollow Manor. However, the County of Westchester has committed to making improvements to portions of the Sleepy Hollow Manor sewage lines as part of a county-wide program relating to sewer inflow and infiltration, and the Applicant has committed to provide three hundred thousand dollars to the Village to fund improvements to other relevant parts of the Sleepy Hollow Manor sewer lines and manholes and upgrades to the existing Village sewage pump station located on Riverside Drive. The Village Engineer has reported to the Agency that these sewer system improvements will allow the Village sewers to accommodate the additional sewage flow from the CCRC without adverse impact and the Agency concluded that these improvements would sufficiently mitigate any potential adverse effects from the Project. Based on these considerations, the Agency concluded that the Project would be consistent with Policy 5 conditional upon (a) completion of the sewage line improvements that are to be undertaken by the County of Westchester, (b) the provision by the Applicant of the sum of three hundred thousand dollars to finance additional sewage line and manhole improvements and pump station upgrades, arid (c) the completion of all such sewage line, manhole and pump station upgrades and improvements, before the CCRC may be occupied. 3 �Policy 5A - DISCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF USES WHICH, BY REASON OF THEIR DEMAND FOR NEW COMMUNITY SERVICES AND FACILITIES OR THEIR IMPOSITION OF BURDENS ON EXISTING SERVICES AND FACILITIES, WOULD REQUIRE DISPROPORTIONATE PUBLIC COST IN COMPARISON TO PUBLIC BENEFITS. The Agency concluded that the proposed Project would impose little burden on existing Village services and facilities. The proposed CCRC will provide its own private ambulance service, have twenty-four hour security, maintain its own grounds and roads and provide for its own private collection of trash and recyclable materials. The facilities are not likely to add any school age children and, thus, should not burden the local school district. Although the Village's fire department will serve the CCRC, the building heights of the Kendal buildings, as presently proposed, are well within the capacity of the Village's existing fire equipment, the buildings will be constructed with sprinklers, as required by a mandatory sprinkler law in the Village, and the type of use contemplated by the Project does not carry an enhanced risk of fire. Village police will be responsible for law enforcement, but the CCRC type of use is believed to be inherently a low-crime use, and vehicular ingress and egress will be, principally, from the Town of Mt. Pleasant rather than from Village streets. Parking availability at the Village's Philipse Manor train station is already over-burdened, but Kendal will provide shuttle buses to allow access to Metro-North train service without the need for additional train station parking. Development fees, recreation fees and an annual payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT), which will be allocated to the Village, the Town of Mt. Pleasant and the School District of the Tarrytowns, will be payable by Kendal. And, based on experience at other, similar, facilities, Kendal residents are thought likely to provide beneficial participation in the provision of services to the community. Accordingly, the Agency finds that the Project will not overwhelm or significantly burden existing services and facilities and will provide economic and social benefits to the Village, making the Project consistent with Policy 5A. Policy 7D - T H E HUDSON RIVER IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT AND WITHIN 1000 FEET OF T H E VILLAGE'S SHORELINE SHALL BE PROTECTED, PRESERVED AND, W H E R E PRACTICAL, RESTORED SO AS TO MAINTAIN ITS VIABILITY AS A LOCALLY SIGNIFICANT HABITAT. The Agency gave consideration to the applicability of Policy 7D to the Project and concluded that the proposed CCRC development will not impact the Hudson River or its shoreline, or its viability as a locally significant habitat. The western edge of the site is separated from the Hudson River by the Metro-North railroad tracks. However, the Agency recognized that development of the property does have the potential to produce contaminated storm water runoff that could adversely impact the River. The Applicant has developed, and would have to implement, a storm water management plan that, under New York State law, must be adequate to minimize any such impacts. Accordingly, the Agency found that if Policy 7D is; in fact, applicable to the Project, theJProject is consistent with that policy. 4 �[to** Policy 7E - THE LANDS IN STATE OWNERSHIP ASSOCIATED W I T H THE ROCKEFELLER STATE PARK PRESERVE AND OLD CROTON AQUEDUCT TRAIL SHALL BE PROTECTED, PRESERVED, AND WHERE PRACTICAL, RESTORED SO AS TO MAINTAIN ITS VIABILITY AS A LOCALLY SIGNIFICANT HABITAT. The Project will have an impact on the lands of the Rockefeller State Park Preserve because a portion of the access road from Route 117 will traverse a comer of the Park Preserve's Rockwood Hall property. The Applicant has proposed to restore the areas to be disturbed with landscaping comparable to that already existing. The existing fence between Rockwood Hall and the Phelps property would be removed, allowing free access by wildlife between the Rockwood Hall site and the remaining wooded areas of the Project site. The Agency, therefore, found that the Project would be consistent with Policy 7E. Policy 17 - NON-STRUCTURAL MEASURES TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE T O NATURAL RESOURCES AND PROPERTY FROM FLOODING AND EROSION SHALL BE USED WHENEVER POSSIBLE. Policy 17A - PROTECT THE STEEP SLOPES AND HILLSIDES THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE THROUGH THE USE OF NONSTRUCTURAL MEASURES, WHEN PRACTICAL, TO PREVENT EROSION, ESPECIALLY THROUGH RETENTION, OR PLANTING OF VEGETATIVE COVERS. The Agency found that the Project is consistent with Policies 17 and 17A. Although parts of the Project's construction site will include steep slope areas, the FEIS notes that the Project incorporates stringent soil erosion and sediment control measures and its erosion and sediment control plan includes a variety of mechanism to attain these goals, including sediment traps, silt fence barriers and straw bale barriers. The Applicant has proposed vegetative cover in the form of a comprehensive landscaping and restoration program for the balance of the property. Policy 18 - TO SAFEGUARD THE VITAL ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL INTERESTS OF THE STATE AND OF ITS CITIZENS, PROPOSED M A J O R ACTIONS IN THE COASTAL AREA MUST GIVE FULL CONSIDERATION TO THOSE INTERESTS, AND TO THE SAFEGUARDS WHICH T H E STATE HAS ESTABLISHED TO PROTECT VALUABLE COASTAL RESOURCE AREAS. Policy 18A - PROTECT THE VITAL ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, CULTURAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL INTERESTS OF THE VILLAGE IN THE EVALUATION OF ANY PROPOSAL FOR NEW ROADS, ROAD WIDENING OR INFRASTRUCTURE. Policy 18B - T O PROTECT T H E SOCIAL INTERESTS OF THE VILLAGE, PROPOSED ACTIONS MUST GIVE FULL CONSIDERATION TO THE IMPACTS OF SUCH ACTIONS ON COMMUNITY AND CULTURAL RESOURCES OF THE VILLAGE AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE SUCH RESOURCES SUPPORT. 5 �Policy 18C - TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENTAL INTERESTS OF THE VILLAGE, PROPOSED ACTIONS MUST GIVE FULL CONSIDERATION TO THE IMPACTS OF SUCH ACTIONS ON VALUABLE AND SENSITIVE NATURAL RESOURCES OF THE VILLAGE. The Agency finds no adverse impact on the economic, social and environmental interests of the state and its citizens with respect to valuable coastal resources, no failure to protect economic, social, cultural and environmental interests of the Village as to road construction relating to the Project, no failure to provide adequate consideration of impact on the Village's community and cultural resources and no failure to consider and protect environmental interests and natural resources of the Village. An environmental analysis prepared as part ofthe Project's environmental impact statement indicated that there are no sensitive natural resources found at the site and, as noted in the discussion of Policy 7E, an existing fence between Rockwood Hall and the Project property would be removed and will permit free movement by wildlife across the boundary. The Agency found that, while there would be some environmental impacts related to the proposed action, including the loss of existing trees, there will be substantial re-planting of vegetation (including in the 7± acre wooded buffer between the site and Sleepy Hollow Manor) and there will also be positive benefits by providing muchneeded housing for senior citizens (consistent with New York State policy) and positive fiscal contributions related to fees and PILOT payments. Policy 19 - PROTECT, MAINTAIN, AND INCREASE T H E LEVELS AND TYPES OF ACCESS TO PUBLIC WATER-RELATED RECREATION RESOURCES AND FACILITIES SO THAT THESE RESOURCES AND FACILITIES MAY BE FULLY UTILIZED BY ALL THE PUBLIC IN ACCORDANCE WITH REASONABLY ANTICIPATED PUBLIC RECREATION NEEDS AND T H E PROTECTION OF HISTORIC AND NATURAL RESOURCES. IN PROVIDING SUCH ACCESS, PRIORITY SHALL BE GIVEN T O PUBLIC BEACHES, BOATING FACILITIES, FISHING AREAS, AND WATERFRONT PARKS. Policy 19D - ENCOURAGE, DEVELOP, PROTECT, AND MAINTAIN APPROPRIATE PUBLIC ACCESS TO AND LINKAGES BETWEEN KINGSLAND POINT PARK, DEVRIES FIELD, PHILIPSBURG MANOR, DOUGLAS PARK, SLEEPY HOLLOW CEMETERY, THE OLD CROTON AQUEDUCT, T H E ROCKEFELLER STATE PARK PRESERVE LANDS, AND ALONG THE HUDSON RIVER AND RIVERSIDE DRIVE NORTH OF THE MOUTH OF THE POCANTICO RIVER. Policy 21D - PURSUE ESTABLISHMENT O F A SYSTEM O F PUBLIC ACCESS R E C R E A T I O N A L T R A I L L I N K A G E S F R O M AND B E T W E E N T H E TARRYTOWN/SLEEPY HOLLOW VILLAGE BOUNDARY, T H E . V I L L A G E ' S RIVERFRONT PARK PROPERTY ON RIVER S T R E E T , KINGSLAND POINT PARK, DEVRIES FIELD, PHILIPSBURG MANOR, DOUGLAS PARK, SLEEPY HOLLOW 6 �an CEMETERY, THE OLD CROTON AQUEDUCT, THE ROCKEFELLER STATE PARK PRESERVE LANDS, AND ALONG THE HUDSON RIVER AND RIVERSIDE DRIVE NORTH O F THE MOUTH OF THE POCANTICO RIVER. The LWRP policies strongly encourage efforts to "increase the general public's access to the waterfront such as pedestrian and bicycle trails, picnic areas, scenic overlooks and passive recreation areas that take advantage of coastal scenery (Explanation of Policies 21,21A, 21B, 21C and 21D), and make the linkage of publicly owned land "with major points of natural and cultural interest and recreation along the Hudson River" a "major goal of the Village" (Explanation of Policies 19,19A, 19B. 19C, 19D, 19E and 19F). The Agency recognized that access to the western portion of the Phelps campus is currently limited, due to the private ownership of the land by Phelps and the relative inaccessibility of the site. Moreover, there is no physical river access from the site because of the intervening Metro-North railroad tracks. At present, the site does provide limited visual access to the Hudson River. Because the project's internal network of roadways and walkways will be open to the public, the project will provide enhanced public visual access to the Hudson River and western shoreline views. The Kendal site also plan includes a pedestrian walking system and a Hudson River promenade and overlook that would be open to the public, both from Rockwood Hall and from Kendal's access road. The Agency finds that these features would significantly increase public access to the Hudson River scenic views and would thus be consistent with Policies 19,19D and 21D of the LWRP. The Kendal site plan incorporates pedestrian connections at two points to existing trails in the Rockwood Hall portion of the Rockefeller State Park Preserve to the north. The Agency considers these proposed trail connections would serve to establish the kinds of trail linkages contemplated by Policies 19D and 21D and would make the Project consistent with those policies for that reason, as well. Policy 23 - PROTECT, ENHANCE AND RESTORE STRUCTURES, DISTRICTS, AREAS OR SITES THAT ARE OF SIGNIFICANCE IN THE HISTORY, ARCHITECTURE, ARCHAEOLOGY OR CULTURE OF THE STATE, ITS COMMUNITIES, OR THE NATION. Policy 23B - PRESERVE AND ENHANCE THE STRUCTURES, AREAS, OR SITES ^YITHIN T H E VILLAGE OF SLEEPY HOLLOW THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS BEING ELIGIBLE FOR LISTING ON THE STATE AND/OR NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. The LWRP takes the view that n[a]mong the most valuable of the State's man-made resources are those structures or areas which are of historic, archaeological, or cultural significance", and requires that protection include "concern not just with specific sites, but with areas of significance, and with the area around specific sites" (Explanation of Policies 23,23A, 23B and 23C). The applicable policies demand "[a]ll practicable means to protect structures, districts, areas or sites that are of significance"in the history, architecture, archaeology or culture of the-Villagerthe State, or the Nation" as well as prevention of "significant adverse changes to such significant structures, districts, areas or sites" (Id.). Among those "resources" listed as "structures of significance in the history, 7 �architecture of culture of the Village" is the James House. The Agency notes that the James House is not listed on the National or State Register of Historic Places. The LWRP cites factors that would constitute adverse changes to structures covered by the LWRP policies and standards that are to be applied in proposed activity adjacent to the resource. It states: "Compatibility between the proposed action and the resource means that the general appearance of the resource should be reflected in the architectural style, design material, scale, proportion, composition, mass, line, color, texture, detail, setback, landscaping and related items of the proposed actions" (Id.). The Agency notes that the James House is not visible to the naked eye from any public location in the Village, although the site is visible from Rockwood Hall. Existing views from the porch of the James House include partially obstructed views of the Hudson River caused by a broad expanse of deciduous trees. The Applicant has proposed to reconfigure the parking serving the James House to expand its capacity and make it more convenient. The FEIS notes that the Kendal structures, at their nearest point, are approximately 100 feet west of the James House, but concludes that there would be no anticipated significant impacts to historic resources. Architectural refinements have been incorporated into the Proposal in an effort to achieve architectural style, design material, color, texture and detail that would be compatible with the James House resource, as required by Policies 25 and 25B, and the Agency found that the appearance of the proposed structures was far more aesthetically appealing than the designs originally submitted by the Applicant in the DEIS. The reduction in height of a portion of the Commons Building, capping the structure at five stories rather than seven further opened up vistas of the Hudson River and western shoreline that were here to for effectively screened from the James House. Further, the . Applicant has proposed a decorative stone wall to enhance the views from the west porch of the . James House. The view from the James House will include a portion of the Project facilities, replacing the current view of a meadow and wooded slope, but the Project will result in the reestablishment of visual access to the Hudson River and adjacent shoreline to the west which has been obstructed for years. The Agency was also aware that portions of the Rockwood Hall property may have been designed and/or influenced by noted landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead and that the visibility of the CCRC structures from portions of the Rockwood Hall property could also have implications under Policy 23. The Applicant has proposed to enhance its vegetative screening program using landscaped berms and reconstruct a portion of an existing carriage path so as to mitigate the visual impact of the Kendal buildings on visitors to Rockwood Hall and, as noted above, has reduced the maximum building height from seven stories. The Agency finds that the Project as modified is consistent with Policies 23 and 23B. Policy 25 - PROTECT, RESTORE OR ENHANCE NATURAL AND MAN-MADE RESOURCES WHICH ARE NOT IDENTIFIED AS BEING OF STATEWIDE SIGNIFICANCE, BUT WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL SCENIC QUALITY . OF THE COASTAL AREA. 8 �M Policy 25A - FROTECT OR ENHANCE VIEWS OF THE HUDSON RIVER, T H E HUDSON RIVER VALLEY, AND THE OPPOSITE SHORE FROM THE IMMEDIATE RIVERFRONT AS VIEWED FROM PUBLICLY OWNED PROPERTIES. Policy 25B - PROTECT OR ENHANCE THE FOLLOWING IDENTIFIED SCENIC RESOURCES AS AREAS AND VIEWSHEDS OF LOCAL SCENIC SIGNIFICANCE. [THE NINE IDENTIFIED SCENIC LANDSCAPE SUBUNITS INCLUDE PHELPS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND SLEEPY HOLLOW MANOR]. The Agency noted that the Kendal buildings could have an impact on views of the Hudson River and the Tappan Zee Bridge from portions of Rockwood Hall, a publicly owned property. The Applicant has proposed to incorporate a series of landscaped berms within the easement area located north of, and adjacent to, the Project site. Illustrations provided by the Applicant as part of its Project modifications reveal that the lowered building heights and growth ofplantings after a ten-year period would help to soften the building mass when viewed from Rockwood Hall. Although the visual impact of the buildings would not be eliminated, the Agency recognized that it would not be possible to fully screen any development that may occur on the western portion of the Phelps property from this vantage point, and the Agency noted that the Rockefeller State Park Preserve has not objected to the impact. While, as a general matter, preservation and protection of views of the Hudson River is a goal of the LWRP, the Agency notes that the view of the River from the Phelps site is not one of the twentythree "viewsheds of local importance" specifically recognized by the LWRP. However, there are two scenic resources identified under Policy 25B that are potentially impacted by the project - the Sleepy Hollow Manor and the Phelps Memorial Hospital scenic landscape subunits cited in the LWRP. The Committee concluded that the Project would not significantly adversely impact either of those subunits. The residential character and "informal" layout of the Sleepy Hollow Manor subunit will not be impacted in any way by the Project and visual impact will be slight. The Project will be potentially visible within Sleepy Hollow Manor only from the northern end of Birch Close and from part of Terrace Close, and the site plan for the Project incorporates a 7± acre buffer in the southern portion of the Kendal site, further screening the proposed Project from the Sleepy Hollow Manor subunit. The LWRP description of the Phelps Memorial Hospital subunit notes that the site has distinctly different visual characteristics. The area is described in the LWRP's Scenic Resources portion of the Inventory and Analysis Section as being "dominated by the buildings and parking areas" of the hospital and "providing an institutional landscape", while the area to the wrest of the James House is contrasted as a "rolling estate landscape of lawns and woodlands" with glimpses of Hudson River and the western shoreline. The proposed buildings would be situated between the James House and the Metro-North Railroad tracks to the west. Existing views from the James House present only a seasonal, filtered view of the Hudson River. The Project, as currently proposed, would provide a more open vista of the Hudson River. The proposed buildings and, in particular, their rooftops, would, however, be visible from the James House and, of course, the significant portions of the 9 �/ existing open lawns and woodlands would be lost. The Applicant has proposed a comprehensive landscape planting plan, including plantings between the James House and the CCRC units to soften the impact of the proposed structures, and the lowered building heights as now proposed would provide for increased visibility of the Hudson River. With respect to the views from the Hudson River, it was noted that the Project as now proposed has attempted to incorporate a distinct architectural character by incorporating an Italianate influenced design to make the construction more stylistically sympathetic to the architecture of the James House and less institutional in appearance. The architectural treatment includes the use of different building materials, window treatments and roof articulation. Although the Agency believed that further reducing the bulk of the proposed structures would minimize the visual impact of the project from the River, the Agency was aware that virtually any building of significant size would be visible from the river. The Agency noted that the Explanation of Policies applicable to Policies 25,25A and 25B includes a number of standards for minimizing scenic impairment. The Agency concluded that any scenic impairment from the Project had been substantially minimized and that, accordingly, the Project was consistent with those policies. Policy 32A - FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE VILLAGE SHALL BE REQUIRED T O USE STATE OF THE ART LOW FLOW WATER FIXTURES AND WATER SAVING DEVICES TO REDUCE THE DEMAND FOR WATER AND REDUCE THE FLOW T O THE SEWAGE TREATMENT FACILITIES. . WHERE PRACTICABLE, THE GUIDELINES IN THE NEW YORK STATE MUNICIPAL MODEL WATER CONSERVATION PLAN SHOULD BE FOLLOWED. The Agency concluded that the project is consistent with Policy 32A. The Applicant has committed to incorporating low-flow water fixtures and other water saving devices throughout the proposed community to promote water conservation. Policy 33 - BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES WILL BE USED T O ENSURE T H E CONTROL OF STORM WATER RUNOFF AND COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOWS DRAINING INTO COASTAL WATERS. The Applicant has incorporated a storm water management system that includes two separate storm water detention facilities. The Agency noted that the Applicant is required, by New York State law, to implement the best management practices as to storm water runoff, as contemplated by Policy 33. The Agency also reviewed projected storm water impacts as outlined in the Applicant's updated storm water management report submitted to the Village. The updated storm water report indicates that, due the storm water detention basins, the peak rate of runoff during a 100-year storm event will actually decrease slightly from the pre-development levels associated with the site. The Agency concluded that the proposed storm water management system should adequately control storm water runoff and that the Project will be consistent with Policy 33. . 10 �Policy 37 - BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES WILL BE UTILIZED T O MINIMIZE THE NON-POINT DISCHARGE OF EXCESS NUTRIENTS, ORG ANICS AND ERODED SOILS INTO COASTAL WATERS. The Agency concluded that the Project is consistent with Policy 37. The Project will incorporate several design measures to mitigate potential impacts. These features include the use of dry swales, anti-vortex manholes and the two water quality detention basins referred to in the discussion of Policy 33. In addition, Best Management Practices for erosion and sedimentation control will be utilized during the construction process. The Agency recognized that any construction, and the resulting creation of additional impervious surfaces, is likely to create some increase in non-point discharge, but felt that the proposed storm water quality system would minimize such discharge into coastal waters, making the Project consistent with Policy 37. Summary The Agency has given detailed consideration to the foregoing LWRP policies as they relate to the Proposal. Further, the Agency has reviewed and considered the consistency recommendations prepared by the Waterfront Advisory Committee. The Agency appreciates the considerable effort provided by the WAC in the review of this project. Upon due consideration of the record before it, the Agency finds that, on balance, the Proj ect is consistent with the goals and policies of the LWRP.

I We acknowledge receipt ofypur.May 17, 2001 letter requesting this proposal. In response, we propose to prepare a topographic.survey that will meet or exceed the technical requirements that your -office issued.- Specifically*'we-.Will coAdudt: a field.survey using classical techniques, for topographic surveys augmented by the use of electronic measuring and data collection systems. Although our product will not be a Land or Boundary SurveVj, the location of all easement and * property lines within the.survey limit will be.shown. Similarly, surface features readily discernible in the field and included in the specifications will be shown. Topographic data will be gathered in sufficient quantity and'with sufficient precision to produce reliable 1 foot contours. All spot grades and similar elevations and heights required by the specifications will be provided. Underground features will be shown to the extent that they can be located from surface evidence and record drawings that the owner or. your office can provide or that are provided by municipal sources and utility companies; toward that end^ we "Will contact those departments of .the City, County and State likely to have information concerning underground facilities. We will also place - an inquiry with the Underground Facilities Protective Organization (UFPO)..

We will contact each of the utilities to determine what facilities may be present and we will request copies of all record drawings that may be useful. . In addition to plotting the information, we will post a report of the contacts that we made and the results of our inquiry on the survey. Utility operators are not required to "stripe" underground utilities unless excavation isimminen't.'Please note that this proposal does not include, subsurface investigations . of any kind, except the inspection of manholes, catch basins, etc., as may be necessary io obtain or verify inverts, pipe sizes' and materials. We will place a "CODE 753" notice on our survey. Trees and other' landscape features will be located and plotted in accordance with the specifications. This proposal does not include tagging the'trees. While we are generally competent to identify plants; we are neither dendrologists nor botanists.' Therefore, we are not capable of providing precise species, botanical names or condition assessments. . We will prepare a map that meets or exceeds the technical requirements of the specifications. The' map will be prepared using AutoCad Release 2000. Before delivering the map, we will edit it to be certain that the layering conforms with your specifications. We will deliver our maps in accordance with the specifications. i Allowing for some lost time due to inclement weather and other unforeseen difficulties, ~.we estimate the delivery- of the completed work will take approximately 6 weeks from the date it is authorized. As this is a particularly busy year, we" would appreciate knowing whether we have been selected for the work as soon as possible after the decision has been made. If we have this information, we will plan for the project to be certain that we will have the time available when the work is authorized. " The fee which we require for the work is S7,800.00. This is a fixed, lump suni fee, and reflects prevailing wage rates required for "pulic work" as promulgated by the NYS Department of Labor.. We trust you have found this proposal understandable and responsive to your request. If it is not or if you need anything further, please do riot hesitate to contact us. Again, thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal. We are hopeful that you will find it acceptable and we look forward to working with you. Regardless of your decision, please accept our best wishes for the success of your project. Yours truly, BADEY &yWATSON Surveyin&A Engineering/P.CL by Stephen R. Miller, L.S..
