ADMINISTRATORS REPORT
Metro North Railroad Train Derailment – Yesterday, Metro North Railroad implemented a bus system to shuttle people from the Tarrytown railroad station to the White Plains station in order to access the railroad into New York City. Metro North discontinued that service at 2 am this morning and commenced train service along the entire Hudson Line to Yonkers, where people are then bussed to the 242nd Street terminus of the Broadway #1 local subway in the Bronx. According to Metro North, that will be the system in place until service is restored through the area of the derailment. I contacted Metro North to question whether the railroad would restore the bus service to the White Plains station, since that only required 3 modes of transit (car, bus and train) versus the current system in place
which requires 4 modes of transportation (car, train, bus and subway). I was informed that Metro North will not reinstitute bus service to White Plains. According to Metro North, they instituted the bus service to the White Plains station as an immediate action to address transit into the city until they had a chance to assess the situation. Once they assessed the situation, they realized that they could carry the Hudson Line passengers north of Yonkers to the Yonkers train station and then bus them to the subway; they decided that this was the most prudent way to handle the largest percentage of riders north of the Yonkers station. Metro North has a fleet of 60 busses and all of those busses are being used between the Yonkers station and the subway station at 242nd Street. The representative I spoke with at Metro North also noted that ridership on the Harlem line increased by 30% and it is questionable whether the Harlem line could handle
the additional ridership that would occur via bus service from Tarrytown.
My office also received a call questioning why Tarrytown had not reached out to White Plains to request that White Plains honour parking permits issued by Tarrytown at the parking garage at the White Plains train station. I contacted White Plains and was informed that they issue daily permits and those permits may only be used on the basement level and the top level. The daily permit areas are full by 6:30 a.m. All other levels in the parking garages are used by White Plains residents. If White Plains honoured parking permits issued by Tarrytown, White Plains residents would be displaced and that will not occur.
There are limited options available to Tarrytown residents and non-resident parking permit holders. First, there is the train service from Tarrytown to Yonkers and then to the bus and subway. Second, there is long term parking available in the Galleria Mall in White Plains and then people can walk to the White Plains train station. This option requires people to feed the meters at the mall. Third, Westchester County has opened up the Kensico Dam area in Valhalla for free parking. People can then walk to the Valhalla train station.
On-Ramp to Tappan Zee Bridge – The on ramp from southbound Route 9 to the Tappan Zee Bridge is scheduled to close this coming Thursday, December 5 at 10 a.m. and will remain closed for approximately 5 years, throughout the construction of the new bridges.
H-Bridge - The current schedule is to install the expansion joints on Wednesday and reopen the northwest ramp on Friday.~ This schedule may change if the steel column which requires repair is not complete. Once this work is complete, the last component of the project is to repair a steel column on the southwest ramp. The Village will be working out the logistics of this work with the contractor.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
In accordance with Article 8 of the State Environmental Conservation Law and 6NYCRR Part 617, including without limitations the criteria set forth in 6 NYCRR Part 617.7(c) and based upon review of the Environmental Assessment Form and all other materials that were prepared for the Proposed Action, the Village Board of Trustees hereby determines that Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment, and hereby adopts a Negative Declaration.

PUBLIC HEARING – CHAPTER 259 – STREETS AND SIDEWALKS (adopted)
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown will hold a public hearing on the 2nd day of December, 2013, at 8 PM, in the Municipal Building, One Depot Plaza, Tarrytown, New York 10591, to hear, discuss and to act upon an amendment to Chapter 259, entitled "Streets and Sidewalks". 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, Chapter 259 entitled “Streets and Sidewalks”, Article I, Excavation in Streets, Article XI, Construction of Sidewalks and Curbs and Article XIV, Miscellaneous Provisions.
SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS OF FACT.
A. Findings of Fact.
Staff submitted for consideration by the Board of Trustees issues that have arisen in regards to the failure of contractors working for private developers and utility companies as well as staff working for utility companies to complete work requiring Street Opening Permits and Sidewalk Opening Permits. Permits issued are often not worked on by the entity that obtained the Street Opening permit or Sidewalk Opening Permit for periods exceeding thirty (30) days. The failure to act on the work associated with the permit in an expeditious manner creates an unacceptable situation for vehicular traffic and pedestrians having to navigate the areas where the work is being performed for protracted periods of time. It is the belief of the Board of Trustees that the work associated with the issuance of Street
Opening Permits and Sidewalk Opening Permits should be completed as quickly as possible by the entity that applied for and received the said permit and since the work is not being completed expeditiously, it is necessary to legislate to address the timeliness of the work. In addition, staff submitted other issues for consideration by the Board relating to streets and sidewalk to address the safety of pedestrians and vehicles as well as public and private property.
B. Legislative Intent.
The intent of this amendment to modify the language in Chapter 259, Streets and Sidewalks to address the issues submitted by staff in regards to work permits and poles and wires.

3) Should the permittee fail to properly secure the excavation to a condition acceptable to the Village Engineer and/or Superintendent of Public Works or his/her designee, and after two (2) hours’ notice to the permittee to correctly secure the excavation, the Village will secure the excavation at the expense of the permittee, said cost to be deducted from the deposit paid and any deficiency remaining after such deduction shall be paid on demand by the Village to the permittee. Should the Village determine that the failure to properly secure the excavation poses an immediate danger to the health and safety of vehicles and/or pedestrians, the Village will secure the excavation at the expense of the permittee, said cost to be deducted from the deposit paid and any deficiency remaining after such
deduction shall be paid on demand by the Village to the permittee.
Subsection 259-5.A.(3) shall become 259-5.A.(4)
Subsection 259-5.A.(4) shall become 259-5.A.(5)

Work associated with a permit so issued shall be commenced and be completed within thirty (30) days of the date of issuance of the permit. Should the work not commence and be completed within the thirty (30) day period, the permit shall automatically be deemed null and void and the permit fee shall be retained by the Village and not refunded to the permit applicant or the person who paid the fee for the permit.

Every violation of any provision shall be a separate and distinct offense, and in the case of continuing violations, every day that the violation continues shall be and is deemed to be a separate and distinct offense. In addition, [F] for the infraction of any provision hereof, any permit may be canceled and permission to do similar work may be withheld from the offender for a period of three months from
the time of such violation. This penalty is in addition to and not in derogation of or in substitution for the general penalties provided in Chapter 1, General Provisions, Article II.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown hereby adopts Local Law No. 14 of 2013.
PUBLIC HEARING – HISTORIC COMMONS DISTRICT (continued to December 16, 2013)
Trustee Basher moved, seconded by Trustee Butler and unanimously carried, that the hearing be opened.
Melissa Kaplan-Macey, BFJ Planning Consultant stated that the scope of the project was to review the Historic Commons District in the southern portion of Tarrytown, which is currently subject to a moratorium. The Board adopted the moratorium because the language in the Zoning Code relating to the Historic Commons Zoning District is confusing and it is unclear the specific requirements relating to compatible use permits in the district.
Ms. Kaplan-Macey read through Attachment A: Proposed Amendments to the Village of Tarrytown Historic Commons District Zoning Regulations, which will be attached to the official minutes of this meeting. She stated that everything shown with an underline is new text and everything shown with a strike through the text, has been deleted. She then read the Purpose and Intent of the amended language which she believes provides guidance as to the specific language in the amendment.
- Purpose and Intent “The purpose and intent of the Historic Commons District is to preserve the visual integrity of historic resources within the district and their surrounding landscapes and maintain the existing pattern of development between South Broadway and the Hudson River. The lands included within the Historic Commons District represent a unique historic and cultural asset to the Village of Tarrytown and must be protected and maintained for future generations. The unique character of this area is of educational and economic value to the Village, serving an important function in the preservation of the region’s history and as a destination for cultural tourism. It is the intent of the district to ensure that any new development or reuse of existing structures within the district is
architecturally compatible with the historic character of the district and the visual quality of existing buildings and landscapes.”
Mayor Fixell asked if there was a definition for senior independent housing in our zoning code that explains what is meant by “senior independent housing” as one of the items in section E. “Uses Requiring Compatible Use Permits.” Melissa Kaplan-Macy stated that if the zoning code doesn’t define it, it can be defined. It is her belief that it means that no service is provided to the seniors in the housing. She stated that it can certainly be defined in the amending legislation.
Mayor Fixell stated that “public restaurant” is listed in both Section E. “Uses Requiring Compatible Use Permits and in Section F. Permitted accessory uses for compatible use permits.” Melissa Kaplan-Macy stated that it was a good catch and she will strike it from Section F. “Permitted accessory uses for compatible use permits.”
Mayor Fixell asked if in Section H. “Viewshed Protection,” Subsection 2. “Any application for new development in the Historic Commons District must not result in a significant aesthetic impact on any existing structure within the Historic Commons District,” should read place or structure as stated in Subsection 3. Melissa Kaplan-Macy stated that she agrees and she will make that correction.
Trustee Butler asked in Section G. “Bulk Regulations, Subsection 3. Residential density-Multifamily”- maximum 10 units per lot; is the lot 5 acres? Melissa Kaplan-Macy stated, “yes.”
Melissa Kaplan-Macy stated that there are two changes that they recommend to be made to the zoning uses map in the comprehensive master plan. The HC District is shown on the map as medium density residential and it should reflect that the HC district is actually low density. The map included with the environmental documents submitted with the proposed amending legislation reflects that the current HC District zoning is low density. It made sense to make that correction on the map. The other item was to add the Riverwalk south onto the map, which was added since the Comprehensive Plan.
Mayor Fixell asked on a compatible use permit for multi-family, if a proposal came forward and the Planning Board thought that putting the buildings closer together and clustering the buildings and possibly increasing contiguous open space, would the Planning Board have the ability to do that? Melissa Kaplan-Macy stated that she would have to look into the cluster regulations for multi-family.
Andrew Tung from Divney, Tung & Schwalbe, Planning and Engineering Consultants from White Plains, representing Montefiore stated that Montefiore acquired the 90 acre former Kraft campus earlier this year. Montefiore’s southernmost parcel is located in the northernmost parcel in the HC District. Therefore, they are very interested in the Villages efforts to refine the language and to clarify the use regulations in the HC District. Montefiore does not have any comments tonight, but would like to have more time to study this further. Mr. Tung asked if the Board would continue the public hearing and the written comment period for a month, until the first Board meeting in January and also asked if they can confer with the Village’s Planning Consultant if they have any questions during
that period. Attorney Shumejda stated that the Board of Trustees generally adjourns for two week periods to the next regular Board of Trustees meeting, which would be December 16 and if the Board decides that it requires further adjournment, they can take that action on December 16th.
Mayor Fixell stated that the Board of Trustees will get back to Mr. Tung regarding the question as to whether he can confer with the Village’s Planning Consultant.
Trustee Zollo moved, seconded by Trustee Basher, and unanimously carried, that the following resolution be approved: Approved: 7-0
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown does hereby continue the public hearing for two weeks to the next regular Board meeting.
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE BOARD ONLY ON AGENDA ITEMS. SPEAKERS SHALL HAVE THREE (3) MINUTES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
