We assume that the source data and mapping for the project will be
delivered to Civil Solutions at no cost. It is our understanding that the
Village has signed the Westchester County data-sharing agreement, and
also will acquire the GIS parcel map from the Town of Mt. Pleasant. All data
from the County and Mt. Pleasant will be delivered to Civil Solutions. Civil
Solutions will also require a copy of the Village's existing tax maps, as well
as a translation table to complete the block/lot designation modifications.
This information will form the foundation of the GIS program implementation.
Item #01 (ArcView 8.3 "DataViewer") As demonstrated, the DataViewer is a
customized ArcView (8.x) interface that facilitates the use of the GIS by
departmental personnel. The simplified "point and click" interface has been
designed to reduce the training required for the average staff member to
begin utilizing the GIS to access digital spatial information. The interface
simplifies data query and display requests and has also been developed to
augment certain automated functions. Using the GIS, the user can generate
a 200' list of owners, mailing labels, and notification letters, resulting in a
considerable time savings for the staff. The "DataViewer" runs on top of a
license of ArcView. This cost for the ArcView software has not been
included in this proposal. The software cost and related training has been
separately proposed (Software_training.doc)Item #02 (Customized DataViewer Installation &amp; Training) Civil Solutions will
provide one day of on site training in the use of this software that includes
time for the installation of the program. The training will consist of a
PowerPoint presentation and training manual for those in attendance. The
instructor will be available the remainder of the day for individual "hands-on"
training as required utilizing the Village's computer resources.
Item #03 (Produce a Zoning Map) This task will be based on the Village's
current municipal Zoning Map. We assume that the information is available
in either hard copy or digital form and will be delivered to Civil Solutions for
this work task. The zoning information will be digitized within the GIS
environment and therefore be consistent with all other available GIS layers.
Item #04 (Convert and link Assessor's database) Civil Solutions will perform
a conversion of the Assessor's data using both the modified GIS parcel
polygons provided by the Town of Mt. Pleasant (Sleepy Hollow Block/lot
numbers) and a digital copy of the Village's tax assessment data. As a
result of the conversion, Civil Solutions will generates two (2) QA/QC files
showing the linking errors. The first lists the parcels that do not have a
matching tax record, and the second lists the tax records that do not have a
matching GIS parcel polygon. This conversion will be completed as a one
time service. If additional conversions are required, Civil Solutions will
provide this service for the cost of $600.00 per conversion.
Item #05 (Parcel file attribute changes using tax maps) Civil Solutions will
begin with the parcel file received from Mt. Pleasant covering the Village.
The Assessor will provide a translation table to be used during the process
of modifying the block and lot designation from Mt. Pleasant, to those

I
designations used by Village. This process will be completed using the
translation table, as well as a scanned hardcopy of the Village's existing tax
maps. We understand that the current municipal tax maps are out of date
and therefore will not be useful in areas that have been updated. The
translation table will be used in those areas to modify the attributes in the
parcel file.
.

Item #06 (Annual GIS technical support) Civil Solutions will provide the
Village with one year of technical phone support for questions related to the
GIS implementation. We request that the Village establish a single point of
contact for the technical support. Any required on-site assistance will be
charged at a rate of $100.00 per hour.

.

Civil Solutions will complete all the required work within ninety (90) days
from receipt of purchase order and all required source data.
This quote is valid for ninety (90) days.

.

DELIVERABLES:
Civil Solutions has both the resources and the technical expertise to provide highquality deliverables. Digital data will be submitted to the Village on CD-ROM,
expediting its direct implementation into the Village's work flow. The following is a
summary listing of the items that will be submitted to the Village:

4- GIS Data in ArcGIS Geodatabase format
. Parcels
• Zoning
-*• Recompiled Assessment tax data linked to GIS Parcels (.MDB format)

Item #01 (ESRI ArcView 8.3) One single use license of the software will
be shipped directly from ESRI approximately 7-10 days upon receipt of a
Purchase Order. ArcView 8.x requires one of the following Operating
Systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP. The software
includes one year of maintenance with the initial purchase. Future
maintenance will be purchased directly through ESRI. If the Village
requires additional software licenses, Civil Solutions will submit additional
information as requested. If the Village moves forward with a previously
proposed ArclMS hosting service, provided by Civil Solutions, this will
significantly reduce the need for additional licenses.
Item #02 (Two-day certified on-site ArcView 8.x training) Civil Solutions will
provided a two-day certified training course for ArcView 8.x utilizing one "of
our two certified instructors. The course will follow ESRI's established
training curriculum with a series of PowerPoint presentations followed by
hands on exercises. Once the students have completed this course, they
will be familiar with the general use and functionality of the ArcView
software. The price proposed is based on three(3) to five (5) students, with
the Village providing the computer resources and training room.

I

Item #03 (Training computer configuration) In order to set the Village's
computers up with the required training software and data, Civil Solutions
proposes to complete this configuration on-site. The set up typically takes
between one half to a full day. Village provided computers are required to
have an operating system of Windows 2000, NT or XP, and at least 256
Mgs of RAM, as well as 170 Mgs of available disc space.
Item #04 (Travel and expenses) This line item is for the travel expenses for
the requested on-site GIS training. The estimate is based on two nights stay
($75/night), and a $40/day per diem (3 days).
This quote is valid for ninety (90) days.

�Comments from Mayor Philip Zegarelli Stipulation Withdrawing Tarrytown Litigation
Without Prejudice To Renew
•

On April 21, 2004, the Village of Sleepy Hollow commenced litigation in the Supreme
Court, Westchester County challenging certain actions taken, and approvals issued, by
the Village of Tarrytown Board of Trustees and Village of Tarrytown Planning Board
relative to the Ferry Landing Project.

•

The litigation contested actions and approvals related to three aspects of this project - (1)
the disassembly of the County Asphalt Plant and its reconstruction in a new location, (2)
the construction of a new Tarrytown Village Hall and (3) the construction of a new
Tarrytown Department of Public Works facility.

•

Because certain approvals had been issued by Tarrytown in late-March 2004, Sleepy
Hollow was compelled to commence this litigation within a narrow timeframe —
specifically, by April 22,2004.

In the absence of commencing the lawsuit, Sleepy

Hollow would lose its right to contest these actions and approvals.

•

Sleepy Hollow commenced this litigation after much consideration and as a protective
measure to preserve its claims. Sleepy Hollow did not seek to bring litigation against its
neighbor and was, in fact, engaged in dialogue with Tarrytown both before and after this
litigation was commenced.

»

On April 19,2004, on the eve of the deadline for the commencement of a lawsuit, certain
officials of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow, myself included, together with representatives

2476/13/2*1796 VI 7/20*4

�251

of the Ferry Landing Developer and attorneys for all parties, met to discuss Sleepy

Hollow's concerns. At that time, we discussed the prospect of Sleepy Hollow forbearing
from litigation while Tanytown would continue to undertake review and analysis of the
Ferry Landing Project, including its review of the disassembly and reconstruction of the
County Asphalt Plant. As an expression of Sleepy Hollow's good faith, Tanytown
officials were advised at this meeting that Sleepy Hollow did not have express objections
to, nor wished to stand in the way of, its new Village Hall and Department of Public
Works Facility improvements. The key concern expressed was the level of information
presented,'and the review conducted, with respect to the disassembly and reconstruction
of the Asphalt Plant.

•

At this meeting, Tanytown and the Ferry Landing Developer proposed an agreement by
which they would disregard (and forego as a defense) the April 22,2004 deadline for the
commencement of litigation and, instead, allow further review of the Ferry Landing
Project (including the Asphalt Plant) to go forward, subject to Sleepy Hollow requesting
certain additional environmental studies and materials.

•

Although Sleepy Hollow expressed interest in proceeding down such a path, it was
thereafter advised by counsel that, absent the actual initiation of litigation, it could
forever lose its right to contest the actions and approvals taken as of that date. Thus, the
litigation was commenced. The commencement of this litigation, however, did not bring
an end to dialogue between the two villages.

•

In early-May 2004, the attorneys for the parties resumed discussions concerning a
resolution of Sleepy Hollow's claims. These discussions centered on the entry of a

2476/13/261796 VI 7/28*4

-2-

�"Stand-Down" Agreement — by which the lawsuit would be withdrawn without waiving

Sleepy Hollow's rights to raise its claims, if necessary, by a future date; Sleepy Hollow
would submit to Tarrytown a list identifying areas of concern; and review processes in
Tarrytown would continue.

These discussions recognized the prospect that, at the

conclusion of these processes, Sleepy Hollow could renew its claims if it determined that
the level of information was insufficient and/or inadequate for purposes of adequate
environmental review.

•

At the direction of the Village Board, counsel for Sleepy Hollow began work on such a
stipulation. However, on May 24,2004, the Village of Tarrytown Planning Board issued
site plan approval — to Sleepy Hollow's surprise — for the disassembly and
reconstruction of the Asphalt Plant.

•

In response to this unexpected move, Sleepy Hollow requested an immediate conference
with the Judge assigned to the case, the Honorable Jonathan Lippman.

•

A conference was held before Judge Lippman on June 9,2004. This conference was
conducted with the Court and attorneys for the parties alone.

As a result of this

conference, the parties, with the Court's assistance, outlined certain terms by which the
pending litigation could be withdrawn without prejudice to renew.

•

Parenthetically, I should note that the Court did not express a position with regard to the
merits of any of the parties' positions in the litigation. Notably, the Court urged the
parties to enter into a "Stand-Down" Agreement (similar to that discussed prior to the
institution of litigation in April 2004), emphasizing the fact that the parties involved were
neighboring villages.

2476/13/261796 VI 7/20.1M

�253

Subsequent to the conference before the Court, counsel for the parties worked toward the
preparation of a stipulation effecting the proposed "Stand-Down" Agreement.

This

stipulation, the terms of which this Board was apprised of and endorsed, was signed by
counsel and "So Ordered" by Judge Lippman last Friday, July 16,2004.

The salient points of the Stipulation are as follows:
1.

The litigation has been withdrawn without prejudice (meaning that claims
asserted by Sleepy Hollow may be reasserted). In fact, the Stipulation provides
an. express right by which the claims may be reasserted on or before
October 1,2004 or forty-five (45) days after the date of the enactment, by the
Tarrytown Board of Trustees, of certain zoning amendments presently under
consideration which are necessary with respect to the disassembly and
reconstruction of the Asphalt Plant. Under the terms of this Stipulation, these
zoning amendments may not be acted upon by Tarrytown until, at the earliest,
August 16,2004.

2.

With this Stipulation, Sleepy Hollow has tendered to Tarrytown a list of topics
and studies which it asserts should be undertaken with regard to the Asphalt Plant.
In turn, the Tarrytown Boards will determine to what extent such studies and
analyses should be undertaken. If Sleepy Hollow is ultimately dissatisfied with
the level of information presented it may renew the litigation and contest the level
of environmental review accompanying those actions and approvals taken with
regard to the Asphalt Plant.

2476/13/261796 VI 7/2fi.«4

�3.

Sleepy Hollow, living up to the commitment it made in April 2004, has waived its
claim with respect to the new Tarrytown Village Hall and Tanrytown Department
of Public Works Facility. Sleepy Hollow does so as a show of good faith to its
neighbor and so as not to impede the development of public improvements which
will benefit the Tarrytown community.

4.

Sleepy Hollow expressly reserves the right to contest all other aspects with regard
to review and approval of the Ferry Landing Project.

•

Sleepy Hollow intends to thoroughly consider all information presented to date with
respect to the Asphalt Plant and, furthermore, to review any information which may be
forthcoming.

Furthermore, it will continue to monitor and offer its comments and

concerns as the review and approval process for the Ferry Landing Project unfolds. It is
the hope of Sleepy Hollow that its concerns will be addressed by Tarrytown. Moreover,
it is my desire to see the two villages work together in a constructive fashion with respect
to the recapturing of our common Hudson River waterfront.

�Air Quality

c

Preparation of an air quality analysis under criteria set forth in the NYSDOT Environmental
Procedures Manual, Chapter 1.1, Air Quality (January 2001). The air quality analysis should
include a worst case scenario, 375,000 ton per year mavirmim output and an oulpuf of at least 75
percent of the maximum allowed output which represents a nine month operation. The analysis
needs to include impacts associated with construction activities related to the relocation of the
plant Impacts on the proposed Ferry Landings residential areas and those surrounding the site
should examine factors such as the distance from the proposed residential structures to the asphalt
plant stack and the heights of the structures and stack. The Applicant needs to address potential
air quality impacts associated with the potential generation of dust during plant operation and
during the construction process. Fugitive dust control mitigation measures need to be detafled

Truck Traffic

The relocated plant will not have access to the Hudson River so as to bring in materials in bulk.
All deliveries must now be made by truck. An environmental analysis should include the worst
case scenario of a Tnairinnim output of 375,000 tons per year and an analysis of the plant operating
at approximately 75 percent maximum allowable output A truck routing plan should indicate
truck volume based on worst case and 75 percent maximum output and indicate potential routes
through both the Village of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown. The routing plan should also: identify
specific conflict area such as the H-Bridge (Tanytown), Beekman Avenue Bridge (Sleepy
Hollow) and other areas that would be specifically impacted by bock, traffic. The review should
include the existing levels of service and volume to capacity ratios for selected intersections along
the proposed truck routes for the AM, PM and weekend peak hours, factor in surrounding
background traffic volumes as part of a no build evaluation and then add in project related traffic.
Identify potential mitigation measures for those intersections and or roadway segments that are
adversely impacted.

Visual

Before and after depictions need to be provided from selected vantage points including: Horan's
Landing, Ichabod's Landing, Kingsland Point Park, the General Motors waterfront, and Hudson
Street Visual documentation should be provided with photographs of the existing plant from the
above referenced locations. Photo-simulations of the proposed plant in its new location need to be
prepared by a qualified photo-simulation consultant using balloon tests or other appropriate means
for determining height (crane) with depictions prepared for each of the above referenced locations.

Buffering

Given the relocation of the asphalt plant, proximate to residential neighborhoods, such issues as
hours of operation, site lighting including a lighting plan indicating the amount of illumination
being proposed and whether mere is any light spill over off site, site access, landscaping and
buffering should be addressed.

H Bridge

Further, the contemplated relocation of the asphalt plant to an area near the northwest k g of the HBridge may preclude future design alternatives An engineering evaluation shall be prepared that
would indicate whether the location of the plant would significantly restrict future alignment
improvements of this portion of the H-Bridge. This could be a potentially significant impact on
development within the local waterfront area. Further, documentation has been prepared on me
existing condition of the H-Bridge, said report notes certain items in need of repair, the review
should indicate when and if these repairs wQI be madeGiven that the proposed relocation places the asphalt plant in closer proximity to existing
residential neighborhoods, a noise analysis needs to be prepared. Ambient noise monitoring
should consist of short-term measurements (e.g., 20 minutes at each location) during the AM
Peak, PM Peak, Saturday Peak and evening (assumes plant is operating on a round me clock basis
for nine months of the year). In addition, one location should be designated for continuous 24
hour monitoring. Locations should include: existing residential neighborhoods to the east, me
proposed Ichabod's landing site, General Motors and Kingsland Point Park. Parameters include
L90, Lgq, Lj 0 Calculate thel.fo (day-night level) from die cxratmoous 24-hour data set
