PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE TARRYTOWN VILLAGE CODE WITH RESPECT TO RESIDENTIAL CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT (Adopted)
Mayor Fixell asked Attorney Shumejda to summarize the proposed legislation:
Attorney Shumejda stated that this proposed legislation will allow the Planning Board to grant cluster sub-divisions. The terms include a minimum set aside of 33% of land excluding hilltops, wetlands, steep slopes to be open space. It also gives the Planning Board greater flexibility dealing with the bulk requirements. Mayor Fixell stated that
this would require the applicant to submit a plan which includes that provision for the Planning Board to review. This legislation has been discussed at several public meetings for approximately seven years.
Trustee McGee moved, seconded by Trustee Butler, and unanimously carried that the public hearing be opened.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown will hold a public hearing on the 18th day of June, 2007, at 8 PM, in the Municipal Building, 21 Wildey Street, Tarrytown, New York 10591, to hear, discuss and to act upon proposed amendments to the Code of the Village of Tarrytown by amending §305-51.1. "Subdivisions" of the Village of Tarrytown Zoning Code and the Village of Tarrytown Zoning Schedule Single-Family Residence Districts with respect to Note “2” in order to ensure consideration of clustering plans which maximize open space preservation and to provide the Planning Board with greater flexibility in reducing
dimensional parameters for the R-80 and R-60 Zones. A summary of the legislation is available at Village Hall. The complete text of this legislation follows:
A LOCAL LAW to amend §305-51.1. "Subdivisions" of the Village of Tarrytown Zoning Code and the Village of Tarrytown Zoning Schedule Single-Family Residence Districts with respect to Note “2” in order to ensure consideration of clustering plans which maximize open space preservation and provide the Planning Board with greater flexibility in reducing dimensional parameters for the R-80 and R-60 Zones.
A. Findings of Fact.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown has determined that in order to preserve the unique character of residential neighborhoods in Tarrytown; to preserve environmental features; and to foster the retention of open space, it has become necessary to insure that: (a) subdivision review systems be in place that will ensure consideration of a clustering plan in which both buildable and non-buildable land, hereinafter defined, be set aside in perpetuity as open space; and (b) the Planning Board has greater flexibility in reducing all lot and bulk controls for the R-80 and R-60 zones in circumstances where it determines that the resulting lot and building configuration of a subdivision will significantly enhance the overall environmental and visual character of the proposed development and/or provide enhanced
visual or physical access to open space.
B. Legislative Intent.
It is the intention of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown to insure a subdivision review system be in place that will allow consideration of a clustering plan in which a minimum of 33 percent of a subdivision’s “buildable land,” hereinafter defined, be set aside in perpetuity as open space, and that the Planning Board has greater flexibility in reducing all lot and bulk controls for the R-80 and R-60 zones in circumstances where it determines that the resulting lot and building configuration of a subdivision will significantly enhance the overall environmental and visual character of the proposed development and/or provide enhanced visual or physical access to open space.

c. The minimum lot size in the clustering plan may be reduced to no less than fifty percent (50%) of the otherwise minimum lot size permitted in the applicable zoning district.
d. The Planning Board may modify all lot and bulk regulations including lot width, frontage, setbacks, yards, floor area ratios and building height if it makes findings that three of the criteria for such modifications, hereinafter set forth, have been met.

may donate the land to the Village; however, in the event that an offer of donation is not accepted by the Board of Trustees, or if the applicant chooses to retain his/her ownership rights, the applicant shall grant a conservation easement to a not for profit organization, approved by the Village Board of Trustees, which, shall provide that the created open space will never be developed. If neither the Village nor any not for profit organization wants to hold the conservation easement, then the applicant shall grant the conservation easement to a homeowners association.
E. An approved clustering subdivision plat must include a map note indicating that it was approved as a cluster and the same must be identified with reference to the approving resolution for the subdivision; furthermore, for future reference, the approved building coverage for each parcel of the cluster subdivision must be designated on the subdivision plat.

NOTES:
2 Dimensions for lot size, frontage and yard setbacks may be reduced for lots within the R-60 and R-80 Districts, without any increase in overall lot count, if the Planning Board determines that the resulting lot and building configuration would enhance the overall physical and visual character of the proposed development and/or provide enhanced visual or physical access to open space.

A LOCAL LAW to amend the Code of the Village of Tarrytown by amending §297-6 of the Code of the Village of Tarrytown entitled "Water meters."
SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS OF FACT.
A. Findings of Fact.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown has mandated and, the Village of Tarrytown has provided for, the installation of water meters in all residential structures which can be "read" by remote access. The Board of Trustees has determined that all non residential buildings should also be equipped with water meters which can be read remotely and not necessitate individual manual readings
in order that all water consumers within the Village participate in one meter reading system.
B. Legislative Intent.
The intent of this amendment is to mandate that all non residential water consumers within the Village of Tarrytown install water meters which can be remotely accessed and which are compatible with the current water meter reading system utilized by residential structures within the Village.
Material to be deleted appears in underline , material to be added is in bold typeface.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE VILLAGE OF TARRYTOWN
Laura Copeland, Fairview Avenue, asked the Board if they were confident that this law even though it complies with the state’s environmental code, is strict enough. Attorney
Shumejda responded that he believes it is strict enough because it is more strict than the Westchester County code and he’s confident that it is the state of the art in terms of the pre and post construction runoff from sites.

PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE TARRYTOWN VILLAGE CODE WITH RESPECT TO FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION (Adopted)
Mayor Fixell asked Attorney Shumejda to summarize the proposed legislation:
Attorney Shumejda stated that this law is also consistent with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and must be passed by September 28, 2007. If not, the Village would lose its eligibility under FEMA regulations and also essentially would effect flood insurance for the Village residents. If we want to maintain that eligibility and avoid federally mandated economic sanctions, then this law will have to be in place. By adopting this law, it will update the 100 year flood plain maps.
Trustee McGovern moved, seconded by Trustee Zollo, and unanimously carried that the public hearing be opened.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown will hold a public hearing on the 18th day of June, 2007, at 8 PM, in the Municipal Building, 21 Wildey Street, Tarrytown, New York 10591, to hear, discuss and to act upon a proposed amendment to the Code of the Village of Tarrytown by amending Chapter 169 of the Code of the Village of Tarrytown entitled "Flood Damage Prevention" and replacing the same with a new Chapter 169 under the same title.

Findings of Fact.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown has been informed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation that the current provisions of Chapter 169 of the Code of the Village of Tarrytown entitled "Flood Damage Prevention" which was adopted in 1987 is no longer current with the current standards and regulations of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency – specifically Section 60.3(d) of the program regulations. Because it is imperative for the health and safety of the residents of the
Village to remain a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), it is necessary to replace all of the provisions found in the current version of Chapter 169 of the Code of the Village of Tarrytown entitled "Flood Damage Prevention" with the model version provided by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, said model version is in compliance with Section 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations.
Legislative Intent.
The intent of this amendment is to replace all of the provisions found in the current version of Chapter 169 of the Code of the Village of Tarrytown entitled "Flood Damage Prevention" with the model version provided by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation which is in compliance with Section 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations.

PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING CONSIDERATION OF AMENDING SECTION 305-22 OF THE TARRYTOWN ZONING CODE ENTITLED WETLAND, STEEP SLOPES, HILLTOPS, RIDGELINES AND HILLSIDES (Adopted)
Mayor Fixell asked Attorney Shumejda to summarize the proposed legislation:
Attorney Shumejda stated that this law deals with the steep slopes section. When this law was enacted in 1990, it did not contain a waiver provision. It has become clear at the Planning Board level that a waiver provision would be an appropriate and prudent thing to have in the legislation. This will give the Planning Board the ability to grant a waiver of its provisions only if the Planning Board determines that it is beneficial to grant the waiver because of environmental conditions than not to grant the waiver. The Planning Board has asked for this legislation. The Westchester County Planning Department has reviewed and approved this amendment. This will give the Planning Board, who has the knowledge and experience to deal with these matters. There are criteria that the
Planning Board has to adhere to. For example, impact upon the environment on the neighborhood and good planning techniques. The main thrust is that only if it is better for the environment to grant the waiver. If the applicant meets that threshold, then the Planning Board can grant the waiver. Mayor Fixell stated that currently an applicant can apply for a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals. It’s not that you can’t get a waiver for the steep slope provision. This gives the Planning Board, who is more deeply involved with the details of the application, a clearer authority to weigh the various environmental impacts of building on steep slopes.
Trustee Zollo moved, seconded by Trustee Butler, and unanimously carried that the public hearing be opened.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown will hold a public hearing on the 18th day of June, 2007, at 8 PM, in the Municipal Building, 21 Wildey Street, Tarrytown, New York 10591, to hear, discuss and to act upon a proposed amendment to the Code of the Village of Tarrytown by amending Section 305-22 entitled Wetlands, steep slopes, hilltops, ridgelines and hillsides of the Tarrytown Zoning Code. A summary of the legislation is available at Village Hall. The complete text of this legislation follows:
A LOCAL LAW to amend the Code of the Village of Tarrytown by amending Section 305-22 entitled Wetlands, steep slopes, hilltops, ridgelines and hillsides of the Tarrytown Zoning Code.
SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS OF FACT.
A. Findings of Fact.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown has determined that there is a need to amend Section 305-22 entitled Wetlands, steep slopes, hilltops, ridgelines and hillsides of the Tarrytown Zoning Code in order to provide for a mechanism to allow the Planning Board to grant a waiver from the provisions of this chapter as they apply to steep slopes protection when an applicant is able to show a hardship under certain circumstances. The purpose of said amendment is to provide for a waiver of this chapter as they apply to steep slopes protection while still maintaining the health and safety of the public and the overall intent of Section 305-22 of the Village Code.
B. Legislative Intent.
It is the intention of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown to amend Section 305-22 entitled Wetlands, steep slopes, hilltops, ridgelines and hillsides of the Tarrytown Zoning Code in order to provide for a mechanism to allow the Planning Board to grant a waiver under certain hardship circumstances from the steep slopes protection provisions of this chapter.
Material to be deleted appears in underline, material to be added is in bold typeface.
§ 305-22. Wetlands, steep slopes, hilltops, ridgelines and hillsides.
H. Steep Slopes Waiver Provision
1. Any aggrieved person may apply to the Planning Board for a waiver from the steep slope provisions of this chapter. Such request may be granted only if the applicant establishes that there is a compelling public need for development of the parcel in question based upon one of the following:
(a) The proposed development will serve an essential health or safety need of the municipality such that the public benefits from the proposed use override the importance of the protection of the slope area as established in this chapter; that the proposed use is required to serve existing needs of the residents; and, that no feasible alternatives exist outside the slope area to meet such established public need; or
(b) The proposed development constitutes an adaptive reuse of an historic, ecological or scenic resource and said reuse is necessary to ensure the integrity and continued protection of the resource.
In the alternative, a waiver may be granted if the applicant establishes that the benefit to the applicant outweighs the detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or community by such grant. In making such determination the Planning Board will also consider the following
(a) whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood;
(b) whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than a steep slopes waiver;
(c) whether the waiver will result in a change which will be materially detrimental or injurious to other properties or improvements in the area in which the subject property is located, increase the danger of fire or flood, endanger public safety or result in substantial impairment of a slope area;
(d) whether the waiver will be inconsistent with the purposes, objectives or the general spirit and intent of this chapter.
2. Additional findings required. An application for a waiver to permit development on or near a slope area may be approved only if the Planning Board specifically finds that:
(a) The proposed development will not be materially detrimental or injurious to other properties or improvements in the area in which the subject property is located, increase the danger of fire or flood, endanger public safety or result in substantial impairment of a slope area;
(b) The waiver will not be inconsistent with the purposes, objectives or the general spirit and intent of this chapter; and
(c) The Waiver is the minimum relief necessary to relieve the extraordinary hardship established by the applicant.
3. When a steep slopes waiver is sought for an applicant under a subdivision application, the Planning Board shall not grant a steep slopes waiver unless the applicant can show that a subdivision application for the number of lots requested could be achieved without a steep slopes waiver. Furthermore, in the case of a
subdivision application, the Planning Board must find that there will be a greater overall environmental benefit to granting the subdivision with the steep slopes waiver than it would be to grant a subdivision approval without a steep slopes waiver.
4. A Waiver granted under the provisions of this section does not constitute an approval of the entire development proposal nor does it constitute a waiver of any other requirements contained within any other applicable local, county or state laws or ordinances or regulations.
[No further changes to section]

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE VILLAGE OF TARRYTOWN
Laura Copeland, Fairview Avenue, asked the Board if the waiver is changing the word prohibit from the legislation. Attorney Shumejda stated that the language that was changed in the ordinance a year and a half ago was from restrict to prohibit. That word will still remain in law. The Planning Board will have to go through a process of criteria. Other criteria are as follows: 1) whether it is an undesirable change produced in the character of the neighborhood; 2) whether the benefits sought by the applicant be achieved by some other method; 3) whether the waiver will cause any material detrimental impact upon a neighboring properties or improvements; 4) whether the waiver is consistent with the purposes objective and general spirit intent of this legislation and will not be inconsistent with any
of those recommendations. The Planning Board has to only grant the minimum waiver necessary to effectuate this plan. Ms. Copeland asked the board if the developer doesn’t accept the criteria from the Planning Board, can the developer just go before the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance. Engineer McGarvey stated that without a favorable recommendation from the Planning Board, generally the Zoning Board would not approve a variance. Attorney Shumejda also stated that if the Planning Board grants a waiver with criteria;
they would no longer be able to go before the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance because they have a waiver.
Joan Raiselis, Fairview Avenue, stated that this law will give the Planning Board in the majority of cases the authority or leeway that it needs to negotiate a better application. In 5% of the cases where the applicant is unreasonable, it won’t do that much. For the great majority of applicants it will be a great tool for negotiation. Attorney Shumejda stated that our law was enacted many years ago. The laws that were enacted more recently with other municipalities all have waiver provisions for the Planning Board.
Trustee McGee moved, seconded by Trustee Zollo, and unanimously carried that the public hearing be closed.

Attorney Shumejda stated that this is a resolution to allow the Mayor to sign the deeds for the transfer of parcels of land that were agreed to as part of the memorandum of agreement with Ferry Landings, which was amended in June of 2006. These parcels consist of some land under the bridge, two leased parcels that the Village formally leased to Barrier Motor Fuel at lower Main Street, the long abandoned roadway which is called lower Main Street, and also includes a strip of property from where the previous site was all the way down West Main Street to the end, which is about 10-19 ft. wide. These parcels were appraised and the agreement calls for the developer to pay the appraised price. The agreement also calls for the Village to transfer these 30 days after the site plan was approved. The
developer is now in the process of its construction financing for the project and now needs the transfer of these parcels, which were previously approved and there was a separate environmental review done on that memorandum of agreement as well.
