 2   (The board meeting commenced at 6:25 p.m.)

 3             MR. STEVEN KESSLER:           Okay. Welcome to

 5   Please rise for the pledge.

 9   God, indivisible with liberty and justice for

10   all.

11             MR. KESSLER:        Can I have the roll,

12   please?

13             MS. HEATHER LAVARNWAY:              Mr. Kobasa?

 2               MS. LAVARNWAY:       Mr. Cantrell and Mr.

 3   Rothfeder are noted as absent.

 4               MR. KESSLER:     Thank you. We have no

 5   changes this evening to the agenda. Can I please

 6   have a motion to adopt the minutes from our

 7   August meeting?

 8               MR. KOBASA:     So moved.

 9               MR. KESSLER:     Second, please?

10               MS. HILDINGER:       Second.

11               MR. KESSLER:     And on the question, all

12   in favor?

13               MULTIPLE:     Aye.

14               MR. KESSLER:     Opposed? First item under

15   correspondence, it’s a letter dated August 19th,

16   2026 from Jim Annicchiarico, requesting a six-

17   month time extension for preliminary plat

18   approval for the Pomona Development Subdivision

19   located on the south side of Revolutionary Road,

20   south of Eaton Lane. Good evening.

21               MR. JIM ANNICCHIARICO:          Good evening.

22               MR. KESSLER:     So why don’t you give us a

23   quick update on where things stand?

24               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:        Sure. We made an

 2   application to the health department. I think I

 3   probably mentioned that in the previous time

 4   extension request. We need to meet with the town,

 5   and we have a meeting scheduled with the

 6   engineering department for, I believe, September

 7   9th. Following that meeting, we should be able to

 8   I think, wrap everything up and get it back to

 9   the health department and hopefully --

10            MR. KESSLER:        The health department

11   still with issues or?

12            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           No, actually, the

13   town wants us to -- wants to go over some of the

14   water main extension details.

15            MR. KESSLER:        Okay. And that’s, were you

16   dealing with Chris or Mike?

17            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           That started with

18   Joe from your office, actually. But we’ll be

19   meeting with Mike from Preziosi.

20            MR. KESSLER:        Okay.

21            MR. CHRIS LAPINE:           I think it started

22   before we were here. I think it started with --

23            MR. KESSLER:        Get closer to the mic.

24            MR. LAPINE:        It was with DOTS, DOTS

2    called LaBella. That’s the problem.

3                MR. KESSLER:     Okay. Okay, so if there

 4   are no issues, Nora.

 5               MS. HILDINGER:      I’d like to make a

6    motion to adopt resolution 2026-19, granting the

 7   sixth six-month time extension of preliminary

 8   plat approval for the Pomona Development

 9   Subdivision.

10               MR. KESSLER:     Thank you. Second, please.

11               MR. MCKINLEY:       Second.

12               MR. KESSLER:     And on the question, all

13   in favor?

14               MULTIPLE:    Aye.

15               MR. KESSLER:     Opposed? All right.

16               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:        Thank you very much.

17               MR. KESSLER:     Next item is the letter

18   dated August 10, 2026 from David Steinmetz and

19   Brian Sinsabaugh of Zarin and Steinmetz,

20   requesting the third one-year time extension of

21   conditional site development plan approval for

22   Bilal Ahmed for the proposed hotel located at

23   2054 East Main Street. Good evening.

24               MR. BRIAN SINSABAUGH:         Good evening,

 2   Chairman, members of the board. My name is Brian

 3   Sinsabaugh with Zarin and Steinmetz. Yes, we’re

 4   making another request for an extension of the

 5   site plan approval that we had received. Most

 6   recently, we’ve been working with engineering

 7   with regard to a scope, defining the scope of

 8   inspection of the sewer mains, as well as doing a

 9   couple of monitoring reports as well with regard

10   to the extension, because we had to create a

11   sewer district that was created previously. I

12   think it’s Bear Mountain Sewer District. And

13   we’re just doing some of those reporting, trying

14   to define scope on that. I think there are some

15   other outstanding items as well in terms of

16   conditions for the approval, including SWPPP. So

17   those items will be addressed.

18               MR. KESSLER:        And all that’s taken three

19   years?

20               MR. SINSABAUGH:         That is correct.

21               MR. KESSLER:        So things are, from what

22   I’m hearing, are moving forward, and the

23   expectation is this thing is going to get done,

24   right?

2               MR. SINSABAUGH:       It is. I confirmed it

3    with the client today as well in terms of making

4    this a priority to move forward.

5               MR. KESSLER:      Okay. Any questions from

6    staff of the board?

7               MR. BIANCHI:      Do you have an estimate of

 8   time left, required to complete everything that’s

 9   needed?

10              MR. SINSABAUGH:       I think it’s supposed

11   to be --

12              MR. BIANCHI:      Will you be back in

13   another year or?

14              MR. SINSABAUGH:       Hopefully not. We’ll

15   make a point to try to address each of those

16   items to move forward, so.

17              MR. BIANCHI:      It’s a greatly anticipated

18   project for the town.

19              MR. SINSABAUGH:       I understand.

20              MR. KESSLER:      So any other questions? If

21   not, Karen.

22              MS. TIMKO:     I’d like to make a motion to

23   adopt resolution 2026-20, allowing a third one-

24   year time extension of conditional site

 2   development plan approval for the Cortlandt Manor

 3   Hotel.

 4               MR. KESSLER:        Thank you. Second, please.

 5               MS. HILDINGER:         Second.

 6               MR. KESSLER:        On the question?

 7               MR. SINSABAUGH:         Thank you.

 8               MR. KESSLER:        All in favor?

 9               MULTIPLE:       Aye.

10               MR. KESSLER:        Opposed? Okay. All right,

11   moving on to old business, first item it’s the

12   application of VS Construction Corporation for

13   preliminary plat approval, steep slope, wetland,

14   and tree removal permits to permit the

15   construction of 96 townhomes, including 10

16   percent affordable units with associated site

17   improvements on an approximately 17.6 acre

18   portion of Evergreen Manor project site. The

19   subdivision proposes a 99-lot subdivision of the

20   approximately 21-acre parcel two of the Evergreen

21   Manor subdivision to create 96 individual

22   townhome plots, a common homeowners association

23   lot, a commercial lot, parcel three, and an open

24   space non-building lot containing the existing

2    wetland adjacent to Crompond Road. The project is

3    located within the Medical Oriented District on

4    property located at 2003 Crompond Road. Drawings

5    last revised August 19, 2026. Good evening.

6                MR. MATT STEINBERG:        Good evening, Mr.

7    Chairman, members of the board. My name is Matt

 8   Steinberg with DTS Provident. We appeared before

 9   this board back in June, gave a brief

10   introduction to the project, which involves VS

11   Construction and their contract vendee, Lennar

12   Homes. Since that time, we received comments from

13   the planning staff. The most recent submission

14   works to address a number of those comments. As

15   you talked about during the work session, we are

16   still continuing to work on some of the other

17   comments.

18               Just a couple of key updates on the plan

19   set that you just received. In the proposed

20   subdivision layout that’s contained, we adjusted

21   the layout so that each unit is on its own small

22   lot, which is required to be the simple

23   homeownership, rather than the footprint being

24   contiguous with the footprint of the unit. We’ve

 2   continued to advance the landscape plan. The

 3   plans now include a typical unit plan showing the

 4   entry and the foundation planting. We made some

 5   adjustments to the lighting plan requested by

 6   staff. And then the revised plans include a

 7   number of additional engineering advancements and

 8   utilities so that engineering staff can continue

 9   their review and ultimately issue their comment

10   letter. And I believe also fire department review

11   is also pending. Those are really, that’s really

12   the key updates for the plan. I can certainly

13   answer any other questions that the board might

14   have.

15              MR. KESSLER:        I had one question. As I

16   was reading through some of your responses with,

17   and maybe you can’t answer this and somebody else

18   can, but I was surprised when we talked about,

19   let me just find it here, the homeowners

20   association. It seemed unusual to me that both

21   the assisted living, the townhomes, and the

22   commercial property were considered to be part of

23   the HOA.

24              MR. STEINBERG:         Yes. I think it -- I



                         Geneva Worldwide, Inc.

 2   wrote a letter. I called it an HOA, but it’s just

 3   like a master, essentially a master association

 4   that all of the parcels would probably be part of

 5   that would maintain some of the shared

 6   infrastructure. So they wouldn’t be part -- so

 7   there’d be an HOA --

 8            MR. KESSLER:        Right.

 9            MR. STEINBERG:         -- on the townhomes.

10            MR. KESSLER:        Right.

11            MR. STEINBERG:         They would have their

12   own HOA. At this point, we’re showing that open

13   space parcel along Crompond would be an open

14   space parcel, so somebody would have to maintain

15   that, the idea being the three parcels would

16   share in some sharing of that. What it’s legally

17   called, I think that has to be discussed.

18            MR. KESSLER:        Okay. It just seems

19   unusual to have a commercial -- that the

20   commercial property was included in that.

21            MR. STEINBERG:         Yeah. So I guess it

22   wouldn’t be a homeowner’s association. It’d be

23   just a sort of a master --

24            MR. KESSLER:        Okay.

 2            MR. STEINBERG:         -- association.

 3            MR. KESSLER:        Okay. Any other comments,

 4   questions? I know that you’re still going back

 5   and forth with the engineering department on a

 6   lot of this, and we did discuss this at the work

 7   session, that we’d possibly schedule a site visit

 8   for the property. But before we do that, again,

 9   any comments, staff, board, on this?

10            MR. KOBASA:        The pathway that goes

11   around, the walking trail, whatever that is, what

12   material is that?

13            MR. STEINBERG:         So the intent is not to

14   make it a paved surface of any sort.

15            MR. KOBASA:        Okay.

16            MR. STEINBERG:         It would be either a

17   mulched surface in places where it needs some

18   stabilization. I believe in our earlier permits

19   to Army Corps, there were some points where it

20   might be some boardwalk. But otherwise, the point

21   is just to have it be as natural as possible --

22            MR. KOBASA:        Okay.

23            MR. STEINBERG:         -- around that area.

24            MR. KOBASA:        The retirement community

 2   that’s down below the sidewalk, you’re just going

 3   to have to make them aware? My guess is people

 4   may want to come out, and when they hear there’s

 5   a trail that they can walk around up there, use

 6   it. If it’s not ADA accessible, you’re going to

 7   have to find a way to make sure the people coming

 8   from that home to use that trail are aware of

 9   that. That’s all. But I don’t think you can make

10   it accessible because you’re going through a

11   bunch of wetlands, so just a way to sign that in

12   case people hear about it and want to go and walk

13   it.

14            MR. STEINBERG:         Sure. Yep.

15            MR. KOBASA:        The last question I have

16   is, how are you able to do that in the 100-foot

17   non-disturbance buffer?

18            MR. STEINBERG:         So the trail is, it’s

19   shifted over from where it was previously shown.

20   But we had previously shown a trail in that area.

21            MR. KOBASA:        Okay.

22            MR. STEINBERG:         The plans that were

23   ultimately approved, that --

24            MR. KOBASA:        During the master plan,

 2   you’re saying it was in that buffer? All right,

 3   that’s fine.

 4            MR. STEINBERG:         So we continued to

 5   discuss it. We’ve actually moved it a little bit

 6   further out of the actual wetland crossing.

 7            MR. KOBASA:        Yeah.

 8            MR. STEINBERG:         But we can continue to

 9   refine that. I mean, it’s --

10            MR. KOBASA:        I was just asking if it was

11   in the master plan. That’s a different story, so.

12            MR. STEINBERG:         There was a trail that

13   did cross into that.

14            MR. KOBASA:        Okay.

15            MR. KESSLER:        And I know I ask this

16   every meeting. So we have a two-lot subdivision.

17   Is that where it’s going to stay at? Is there

18   going to be further subdivisions here? Because I

19   know one of the comments from staff was about

20   clearly identifying the distinct areas. So where

21   are we on this?

22            MR. STEINBERG:         Right. So right now,

23   we’re processing that two-lot subdivision that

24   was conditionally approved by the board. That

 2   would establish the assisted living parcel, the

 3   roadway --

 4               MR. KESSLER:        And everything else?

 5               MR. STEINBERG:         -- and then the balance.

 6               MR. KESSLER:        Okay. And then is that how

 7   you --

 8               MR. STEINBERG:         Right. And then this

 9   project is proposing to split up that balance

10   into, to have that retail parcel, so which is

11   that parcel three that we’ve already reviewed

12   separately.

13               MR. KESSLER:        Okay.

14               MR. STEINBERG:         And then further

15   subdivide for the townhomes, because each

16   townhome would be essentially on its own lot.

17               MR. KESSLER:        Okay, so when does that

18   happen?

19               MR. STEINBERG:         So we’re --

20               MR. KESSLER:        It’s a chicken --

21               MR. STEINBERG:         Yeah.

22               MR. KESSLER:        -- to me, it’s like a

23   chicken and egg thing, I don’t know what needs to

24   come first.

 2            MR. STEINBERG:         Right. So the

 3   subdivision that we’re processing now with the

 4   health department, that is, we’re working on that

 5   one so that the assisted living and this parcel

 6   can be done. We will have to provide a plat to

 7   show this work. We’ve done a preliminary

 8   subdivision plan in the set so that you can see

 9   essentially what the layout that we’re proposing.

10   But we do have to have the full plat prepared.

11            MR. KESSLER:        With distinct, separate

12   subdivisions for the townhomes?

13            MR. STEINBERG:         For the townhomes.

14            MR. KESSLER:        The commercial?

15            MR. STEINBERG:         Yes.

16            MR. KESSLER:        And the --

17            MR. STEINBERG:         There’d be this open

18   space parcel in the front.

19            MR. KESSLER:        Open space.

20            MR. STEINBERG:         Yeah.

21            MR. KESSLER:        Got it. Okay. Any other

22   questions?

23            MR. BIANCHI:        Are those subdivisions

24   shown on the drawings? What you just described,

 2   are they shown?

 3               MR. STEINBERG:         So there is a sheet.

 4               MR. BIANCHI:        Where is that?

 5               MR. STEINBERG:         It’s sheet 0.2, so it

 6   should be the second one in from the cover.

 7   There’s a master plan, and then the preliminary -

 8   -

 9               MR. BIANCHI:        0.2.

10               MR. STEINBERG:         -- subdivision plan.

11               MR. BIANCHI:        Oh, I see it, yeah, yeah.

12               MR. STEINBERG:         Right. So the

13   subdivision plan, the plat that the surveyor

14   that’s preparing, will be based on where those

15   units kind of land. So, while we’re in the

16   process, we’re catching them up at the same time

17   so that they can, you know, it’s a lot of little

18   lots.

19               MR. KESSLER:        When this was approved by

20   the town board, is this basically consistent with

21   what they reviewed in terms of the subdivision?

22               MR. STEINBERG:         Yes, right. There was

23   always an assisted living lot, a townhome or

24   residential lot --

 2               MR. KESSLER:        Right.

 3               MR. STEINBERG:         -- a commercial lot.

 4               MR. KESSLER:        Right, with a maximum of

 5   96?

 6               MR. STEINBERG:         At that time, it was 99,

 7   so it’s up to 99 units in the master plan. Now

 8   we’re down to 96.

 9               MR. KESSLER:        I got it. Okay.

10               MR. BIANCHI:        This shows us the numbers

11   of units, but not the boundaries, if that’s even

12   possible to draw, the subdivision boundaries,

13   right?

14               MR. STEINBERG:         The, so each lot, those

15   little squares --

16               MR. BIANCHI:        Yeah.

17               MR. STEINBERG:         -- that would

18   essentially be the lot for that particular unit.

19               MR. BIANCHI:        So that’s one subdivision?

20               MR. STEINBERG:         Each one of those would

21   be a lot, correct, on that subdivision.

22               MR. BIANCHI:        So you have the total is

23   what, 96 lots?

24               MR. STEINBERG:         Right, 96 lots within

 2   that parcel.

 3             MR. KESSLER:        Everybody owns their own

 4   lot.

 5             MR. STEINBERG:         Yes, and that’s what’s

 6   required under the code.

 7             MR. MCKINLEY:         Fee simple.

 8             MS. LAVARNWAY:         And Matt, just correct

 9   me if I’m wrong, the new lots shown on this do

10   include some yard in the front and back?

11             MR. STEINBERG:         Yes. Right. So

12   previously, they were kind of contiguous with the

13   unit boundary. There was a question from

14   planning. We spoke with Lennar as well. The

15   desire was to make that so that essentially it

16   goes to the end of the driveway, and then behind

17   the patio or deck, depending on. So it

18   essentially gives each homeowner kind of their

19   own yard as part of their ownership.

20             MR. BIANCHI:        And when you talk about

21   the HOA, those 96 lots belong to the HOA?

22             MR. STEINBERG:         They would belong to an

23   HOA for the townhomes, correct.

24             MR. BIANCHI:        And the rest of it, that’s

 2   common areas would be another organization I

 3   guess, to --

 4               MR. STEINBERG:      So --

 5               MR. BIANCHI:     -- maintain?

 6               MR. STEINBERG:      -- yeah. So each

 7   homeowner would own their lot for their unit.

 8               MR. BIANCHI:     Correct.

 9               MR. STEINBERG:      And then they would be

10   part of an HOA that would control the balance of

11   the townhome lot. So essentially, the roadways,

12   the driveways, storm water, infrastructure, those

13   things would be owned.

14               MR. KESSLER:     Garbage pickup, right?

15               MR. STEINBERG:      Yes, most likely in this

16   type of units --

17               MR. KESSLER:     I thought you said it was

18   going to be private?

19               MR. STEINBERG:      -- I think the HOA

20   usually -- it would be private pickup, and then

21   usually an HOA would kind of control that

22   contract.

23               MR. KESSLER:     Okay.

24               MR. LAPINE:     Do the lot lines extend

 2   onto the retaining walls that are in the back of

 3   some of these units?

 4             MR. STEINBERG:        No, we tried to stop

 5   them short of the retaining walls, so that that

 6   would be something that the HOA would maintain,

 7   especially since they kind of obviously extend

 8   beyond.

 9             MR. LAPINE:       Okay.

10             MR. KESSLER:       Okay. Anything else?

11             MR. LAPINE:       I had one other question.

12   To kind of piggyback on what Kevin was referring

13   to with regards to the trails, so are you going

14   to be grading these trails in because of the

15   steepness of the slopes around the wetland within

16   this 100-foot non-disturbance limit?

17             MR. STEINBERG:        The idea is that we

18   would not try to regrade them.

19             MR. LAPINE:       Okay.

20             MR. STEINBERG:        We would just kind of

21   follow the natural grade since they wouldn’t be

22   accessible.

23             MR. LAPINE:       Some of these grades look a

24   little steep in some of these areas, and you may

 2   want to revisit the alignment of that --

 3               MR. STEINBERG:        Sure. Yeah, we can do

 4   that.

 5               MR. LAPINE:       -- non-disturbance area.

 6               MR. KESSLER:       So if we set a site visit,

 7   what are we going to see?

 8               MR. STEINBERG:        Yeah. So I can discuss

 9   it with staff, as far as trying to set up some

10   points where it would make sense for the board to

11   walk. It’s obviously a large site. I’m not sure

12   if the desire is to be able to walk the entire

13   site or if we’ll try to pick some key points that

14   the board can get to, just so that you can orient

15   yourself to kind of either, you know, as you can

16   see there’s previously the subdivision road was

17   marked out. I think you saw that when you were

18   there for the assisted living site visit. So from

19   that point, we can try to kind of branch out the

20   two sides so that you can have a lay of the land.

21               MR. KESSLER:       How far does the current

22   road go? Just to the end of the assisted living

23   property?

24               MR. STEINBERG:        I think that’s the most

 2   that was marked out. A little bit beyond that, I

 3   believe, it was marked out with some flags. So we

 4   can try to go a little bit further down that

 5   roadway so that you can see both sides.

 6            MR. KESSLER:        Okay. And maybe if you

 7   could stake out a couple of these sections of

 8   homes, maybe the ones to the right of the road,

 9   to the left of the road. Will we be able to go

10   down to the wetlands?

11            MR. STEINBERG:         I believe so. We’ll

12   check that out. We can --

13            MR. KESSLER:        Without a machete?

14            MR. STEINBERG:         Well, the wetland in the

15   Crompond Road, you can definitely see down into

16   that one. That one is visible. I think we saw it

17   when we were at the retail parcel. The one in the

18   south end, we’ll take another look and see how

19   close we can get.

20            MR. LAPINE:        Mr. Chairman, it may be

21   beneficial to the board if they delineate the

22   centerline of the road, so that when you’re

23   walking out there, you can get an idea of where

24   particular buildings are.

 5   are you talking about just the initial lollipop

 6   or the roads internal to the --

 7            MR. LAPINE:        I’m talking about the roads

 8   internal to the site.

 9            MS. LAVARNWAY:         Okay.

10            MR. LAPINE:        So that if you’re on Road

11   D, you can see where building 12 is.

12            MR. KESSLER:        And maybe the center of

13   the cul-de-sac?

14            MR. LAPINE:        The center of the cul-de-

15   sac as well, but, you know, if you give a

16   centerline of the roads that are traversing off

17   the lollipop, I think it’ll help you in terms of

18   --

19            MR. KESSLER:        Okay.

20            MR. LAPINE:        -- understanding where you

 7   development and technical meetings.

 8               MR. KESSLER:     Thank you. Second, please.

 9               MR. BIANCHI:     Second.

10               MR. KESSLER:     And on the question, all

11   in favor?

12               MULTIPLE:    Aye.

13               MR. KESSLER:     Opposed? Okay.

14               MR. STEINBERG:       Thank you.

15               MR. KESSLER:     See you then. All right,

16   final item this evening, it’s the application of

17   Cronin Engineering on behalf of Cortlandt Self

18   Storage, Mark Giordano, for an amended site

19   development plan to construct one additional

20   8,000 square foot storage building and an outdoor

21   contractor’s yard, drawings last revised August

22   19, 2026.

23               MR. SENSABAUGH:       Hi, good evening,

 2   with Zarin and Steinmetz. Here with me is Jim

 3   Annicchiarico of Cronin Engineering. We made a

 4   submission on August 19th with amended site plan

 5   drawings. Jim can walk you through the changes

 6   shortly. We also provide site photos. We did also

 7   receive the August 28th planning department memo,

 8   and we’ve begun reviewing and preparing

 9   responses. We will submit those responses for the

10   October 6th meeting. We’ve already asked our

11   wetland engineer, Steve Marino of Tim Miller

12   Associates, to flag the wetlands. So we just

13   asked, and I believe there’s been discussion with

14   the town, but we asked the town wetland

15   consultant to verify that flagging. And then --

16            MS. LAVARNWAY:         Brian, can I just

17   interrupt you? I was under the impression that

18   our consultant would just flag. Has that changed?

19            MR. SINSABAUGH:         I think, based on my

20   discussions this morning, I wish the applicant

21   were here, but that that we have Steve Marino, I

22   think he directed Steve Marino to flag.

23            MS. LAVARNWAY:         Okay. Well, let’s --

24            MR. SINSABAUGH:         I’ll make sure that we

 2   --

 3              MS. LAVARNWAY:         Let’s confirm offline.

 4              MR. SINSABAUGH:         -- I’ll make sure that

 5   they reach out to you --

 6              MS. LAVARNWAY:         Okay.

 7              MR. SINSABAUGH:         -- on that. Or we can

 8   do --

 9              MR. LAPINE:        I think, the Yeshiva, I

10   think their applicant flagged, and I think then

11   our consultant reviewed their flagging jointly

12   with them. Is that how they did that?

13              MS. LAVARNWAY:         Yeah, we can do it

14   either way. It’s just they end up kind of paying

15   twice if they have their own person go out.

16              MR. LAPINE:        Okay.

17              MS. LAVARNWAY:         Because then we send a

18   person out too, so.

19              MR. LAPINE:        Okay. Yeah, I just remember

20   the Yeshiva, that’s how they did that.

21              MS. LAVARNWAY:         Yeah.

22              MR. LAPINE:        Okay.

23              MS. LAVARNWAY:         We’ll connect offline

24   and just confirm which it is.

 2               MR. LAPINE:        Okay.

 3               MR. SINSABAUGH:         We haven’t received

 4   engineering comments yet, but I believe that we

 5   should be receiving those, hopefully in time for

 6   the next submission, and we’ll make those

 7   responses by the submission deadline. We would

 8   ask first for a site visit in September, possibly

 9   the same day that you’re doing the other site

10   visit.

11               MR. KESSLER:        Wait, before that. I’m not

12   clear on what changes you made in the latest

13   revision.

14               MR. SINSABAUGH:         Oh, yeah. We can walk

15   you through those first. That’s fine.

16               MR. KESSLER:        Please.

17               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Hi, Jim

18   Annicchiarico with Cronin Engineering. So as

19   Brian mentioned, we made a full submission, site

20   photos of the existing buildings just so

21   everybody can get an idea of what they look like.

22   It’s probably been a long time since anybody’s

23   been there. We moved the building away from the

24   conservation easement line, mainly in the north

 2   corner. We pivoted it from the southern,

 3   southwest corner, so we got about six and a half

 4   feet away from the conservation easement line. We

 5   provided building elevations. I think that was

 6   requested by Tom. We did elevations of each side

 7   of the building. On the north side of the

 8   building, that would be accessible to the second

 9   story of the building. We also provided a section

10   or an elevation of the south end to show that

11   there would be access to the first story of the

12   building from that end, since there’s a 10-foot

13   difference in both ends of the building.

14            We gave you elevation of the building

15   looking at it from the road in front to see how

16   the grade kind of dives down from right to left.

17   And we also gave you an elevation of the back,

18   which is really just much more flat, and you can

19   see both stories from the back.

20            The plans also indicated that we would

21   be relocating the drainage utilities that need to

22   be relocated because of the conflict that would

23   happen with the building, as well as the existing

24   sewer force service. We also delineated both

 2   contractor, outdoor contractor yards, and we

 3   tried to give you an idea of what was going to be

 4   stored in those areas, which would be excavators,

 5   some backhoes, miscellaneous equipment, dump

 6   trucks, and some overseas storage containers. So,

 7   we gave you --

 8            MR. KESSLER:        Sorry, so where are the

 9   two contractor yards? I see one.

10            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           There’s one on the

11   north end, and then if somebody could pan to the

12   --

13            MR. LAPINE:        Previous page?

14            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           -- to the south,

15   it’s all the way to the south.

16            MR. LAPINE:        It’s in the low --

17            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           At the very southern

18   end of the --

19            MR. LAPINE:        If you look to the lower

20   left-hand corner of the drawing, scan down, they

21   have a blow-up of it.

22            MS. LAVARNWAY:         Yeah, I just wanted to

23   show it in context. I’m trying to --

24            MR. KESSLER:        Which, is it the -- which,

 2   is it the dotted line on the left?

 3               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Yes. That, yep,

 4   that’s it right there. It’s much smaller than the

 5   one to the north.

 6               MR. KESSLER:        Right, the shaded one on

 7   the right side I understand, and then it’s the

 8   shaded, that one on the left, got it.

 9               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           That’s correct,

10   right.

11               MR. KESSLER:        So can you mark that out

12   for us when we do a site visit?

13               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Yeah. It’s actually

14   --

15               MR. KESSLER:        In use?

16               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           There’s, it’s in

17   use, yes. It’s not hard to see or know what we’re

18   showing.

19               MR. KESSLER:        Yeah, but is it in use in

20   the defined area as you now want it defined?

21               MR. SINSABAUGH:         Yep.

22               MR. KESSLER:        It is.

23               MR. SINSABAUGH:         Yep.

24               MR. KESSLER:        Okay.

 2            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           I think that’s about

 3   it for the changes that we made. We gave you a

 4   floor plan of the proposed building, all the

 5   storage units, the hallways, the access points.

 6   And we did add some impervious area, had to do

 7   that mainly on the south end, so we could get

 8   that flattened out and get access into the units,

 9   the storage units from there. We added a little

10   bit of an impervious area on the north end of the

11   building. It’s a triangular shape, if you can see

12   it, which really just gives access to the, again,

13   to the doorway. There’s two doorways on each end,

14   as I mentioned. And that’s about it.

15            MR. KESSLER:        Okay. And you’ll mark out

16   the footprint of the building as well?

17            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           We already have that

18   marked out.

19            MR. KESSLER:        You do?

20            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Yes.

21            MR. KESSLER:        Great. Excellent. Okay.

22   Any other comments, questions?

23            MR. LAPINE:        Jim, one question I had is

24   the doorways on the west side of the building,

 2   will there be a set of stairs there for that?

 3             MR. ANNICCHIARICO:          There would be. We

 4   did not show that, but there has to be.

 5             MR. LAPINE:       There’s stairs in the back?

 6             MR. ANNICCHIARICO:          Because that’s,

 7   that’s from the second story, yeah. On the back

 8   of the building, you’re saying, west side.

 9             MR. KOBASA:       Is that for emergency

10   egress?

11             MR. ANNICCHIARICO:          As far as I

12   understand, yes. I mean I didn’t understand why

13   we actually needed it, to tell you the truth, but

14   --

15             MR. KOBASA:       Yeah, because --

16             MR. ANNICCHIARICO:          -- it may just be

17   for the emergency access.

18             MR. KOBASA:       -- I’m just wondering if

19   the access ways, you know, could we, in terms of

20   emergency egress instead of encroaching, we have

21   that setback now that you’ve created. Is there a

22   way that we can make the emergency egress either

23   on the north or south side of the building?

24             MR. ANNICCHIARICO:          Yes, we can look at

1     September 1, 2026

 2   that, yeah.

 3              MS. CATHERINE BROSNAN:             Can you actually

 4   show the points of access to the building on --

 5              MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           On the site plan

 6   itself?

 7              MS. BROSNAN:        -- on the plan, yes.

 8              MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Yeah. I can do that.

 9   Yeah.

10              MS. BROSNAN:        And do you plan on fencing

11   in the contractor’s yard area?

12              MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           We really would not

13   like to do that --

14              MS. BROSNAN:        Okay.

15              MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           -- because of the

16   size of the equipment that has to go in and out

17   of there. So it’s not easy to get it in and out

18   if there’s going to be a fence there. You know, I

19   mean if we had a rolling gate, it would have to

20   be like 40 feet long in order to really be able

21   to access everything.

22              MS. BROSNAN:        The contractor’s equipment

23   that would be on-site, would it be storage on-

24   site, or does the owner plan to maneuver it

1     September 1, 2026

 2   around? I think our concern would be if there’s

 3   people going in and out of their storage units

 4   and there’s --

 5             MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Right.

 6             MS. BROSNAN:        -- heavy equipment just

 7   rolling around on the site.

 8             MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           No, it’s taken out

 9   to a job and brought back, put in its place.

10             MS. BROSNAN:        On a trailer?

11             MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Certain pieces of

12   equipment, yes. The dump trucks, obviously, they

13   don’t need to, they can just drive in. The

14   storage containers would obviously have to be

15   brought in on a trailer.

16             MS. BROSNAN:        And what do you propose,

17   or what does the owner propose would be in those

18   storage containers?

19             MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           I’d have to find

20   out.

21             MS. BROSNAN:        Okay.

22             MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Just probably

23   miscellaneous tools for jobs.

24             MS. BROSNAN:        Okay, it’s not like oils

2    and whatever?

3             MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           No, no.

4             MS. BROSNAN:        Okay.

5             MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Nothing like that.

6    And I think it was brought up during the work

7    session, it was asked if there would be outdoor

 8   materials storage, like sand and gravel and

 9   things. There would not be any of that.

10            MR. LAPINE:        So the containers are

11   basically what you see at a site work project

12   where contractors have containers for --

13            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Right, for their

14   tools. So the --

15            MR. LAPINE:        Their travel control

16   devices get stored in there, their tools get

17   stored in there and --

18            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Correct.

19            MR. LAPINE:        Okay.

20            MS. BROSNAN:        If you have two different

21   contractors’ yards on either end of the site, the

22   owner doesn’t plan on going back and forth

23   between the two yards? I’m just thinking about

24   pedestrians.

 2               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           No.

 3               MS. BROSNAN:        Okay.

 4               MS. LAVARNWAY:         That’s not been my

 5   experience on the site, so that’s part of the

 6   concern is that machines have been observed

 7   moving back and forth between areas. An excavator

 8   was observed --

 9               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           I haven’t obviously

10   observed that so.

11               MS. LAVARNWAY:         -- digging things, so,

12   or moving material so there’s definitely movement

13   on there. And so if there isn’t interest in

14   fencing, we would ask that you think about some

15   other way to ensure that there can’t really be a

16   conflict between members of the public who are

17   there to access their self-storage units and

18   heavy equipment driven by people with hard hats

19   in the same area that the public is traversing.

20   I’m not sure how else you can solve that, but if

21   you could put some thought into that, that’d be

22   great.

23               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Yeah, we’ll think

24   about that, and we’ll certainly talk to you guys

 2   about it at the site walk.

 3               MR. KESSLER:        Yeah. And Jim, why can’t

 4   you fence three-quarters of it?

 5               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           I guess that may be

 6   a compromise, yeah.

 7               MR. KESSLER:        I understand, you might

 8   need a big opening in the front --

 9               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Right.

10               MR. KESSLER:        -- but, you know, three-

11   quarters or 75 percent of it probably could be

12   fenced in, leaving enough opening for --

13               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Yeah.

14               MR. KESSLER:        I mean you raise the issue

15   of how big some of this equipment’s going to be.

16               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Yeah. Well we can

17   look at all that.

18               MR. LAPINE:        Mr. Chairman --

19               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           -- at the site walk

20   and talk about it.

21               MR. KESSLER:        Okay. We’ll go through it

22   there.

23               MR. LAPINE:        I agree with your

24   assessment. I think from looking at it, we should

 2   at least have a fence along property lines, so it

 3   doesn’t encroach on neighboring properties. I

 4   think where it’s running parallel to the

 5   conservation easement that wasn’t filed, I think

 6   we should have a fence along that as well so that

 7   we don’t encroach upon that.

 8              MR. KESSLER:        Okay.

 9              MS. LAVARNWAY:         The heavy equipment and

10   machinery, where does the owner propose they will

11   be mechanically serviced? Would it be on the

12   site?

13              MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Yes. There’s an

14   actual mechanics bay in, I guess if you go to the

15   lower end of the site, I think it’s building

16   three, I can’t remember.

17              MS. LAVARNWAY:         There weren’t labels on

18   all of the buildings, but it is --

19              MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           There are labels on

20   the buildings, yeah. They’re all numbered, yeah.

21              MS. LAVARNWAY:         Well, it’s this one.

22              MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Yep. That is the

23   mechanics building. So that’s accessed from the

24   lower road, so anything would be done there. The

 2   building that was more recently built, the most

 3   recently built --

 4            MR. LAPINE:        Building, yeah.

 5            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           -- the one on the

 6   southeast corner.

 7            MS. LAVARNWAY:         This one?

 8            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           That also, there’s

 9   equipment storage in that.

10            MR. LAPINE:        I think --

11            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           I don’t believe they

12   do any mechanic work in there, though.

13            MR. LAPINE:        I think building nine, and

14   building three weren’t labeled on the plans, is

15   what Heather was referencing.

16            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Okay. I don’t know

17   how that happened.

18            MS. LAVARNWAY:         It’s just blank. It’s --

19            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Okay, yeah.

20            MS. LAVARNWAY:         -- something just got

21   turned off. It’s just blank boxes. So there won’t

22   be any work done out on the --

23            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           No.

24            MS. LAVARNWAY:         -- pavement? Okay.

 2            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           We can put that in

 3   the resolution.

 4            MS. LAVARNWAY:         We’ll want to add that

 5   as a note on the plans.

 6            MR. KESSLER:        Correct.

 7            MS. BROSNAN:        And then the contractor’s

 8   storage areas are outside of the wetlands? Or I

 9   know you guys are going to delineate them again.

10            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Yes.

11            MS. BROSNAN:        But they are outside?

12            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Yes, but my view of

13   the last wetland markings for the 2007 approval,

14   you see the wetland line is way down in the

15   middle of the conservation easement. So, I can’t

16   imagine it’s crept up the steep slope or anything

17   like that.

18            MS. BROSNAN:        Okay.

19            MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           But we’re obviously

20   going to re-delineate it, and I would imagine it

21   hasn’t moved very far. We may need a wetland

22   permit, because we’re technically in the buffer

23   for the building, but I think that’s it.

24            MR. LAPINE:        I think what you’re

 2   referring to is that there are two wetlands.

 3   There was the DEC and the town wetland back in

 4   2000 and, well, 1995 and then 2006. So I think

 5   you’re saying you’re in the town buffer, not the

 6   DEC buffer?

 7               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Correct. Correct.

 8               MR. LAPINE:        Okay.

 9               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Yeah.

10               MS. BROSNAN:        But regardless, both will

11   be delineated?

12               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:           Yes. So just to get

13   back to Heather’s comment about the -- so I think

14   Mark’s intention was just to have Steve Marino go

15   out there because he can get it done quickly. I

16   guess you still have to get the town to confirm

17   that. But we can, he has Steve Marino set to go

18   there this week, I believe, or early next week.

19   So we can talk about it offline, like you

20   mentioned, but I think it was just a thing where

21   we can get Steve out there right away to do it,

22   and --

23               MS. LAVARNWAY:         Yes. That is what he

24   indicated when I mentioned he might be paying for

 2   the work twice. I thought he was rethinking it.

 3               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:        Yeah, I don’t think

 4   he minds.

 5               MS. LAVARNWAY:      He may have sent an

 6   email to that, but it’s fine. I just need to know

 7   what I’m asking someone to do.

 8               MR. ANNICCHIARICO:        Understood.

 9               MR. KESSLER:     All right. Any other

10   comments? If not, Tom?

11               MR. BIANCHI:     Okay. I’ll cover a couple

12   of things in this motion, I guess. First of all,

13   I move that we declare ourselves lead agency.

14               MS. LAVARNWAY:      No, you declare your

15   intent to be.

16               MR. BIANCHI:     Intent to be lead agency.

17               MS. LAVARNWAY:      Yeah.

18               MR. BIANCHI:     Sorry. Secondly, I’d like

19   to set a site visit for October 24th at about

20   5:45, if that’s enough time to do the other site

21   visit first. So 5:45, and then I move that we

22   refer this back to staff for further comment.

23               MR. KESSLER:     Okay. Second on the --

24               MS. HILDINGER:      September.

 2               MR. KOBASA:      September 24, I believe.

 3               MR. KESSLER:      September 24, what’d he

 4   say?

 5               MR. KOBASA:      He said October.

 6               MR. BIANCHI:      I said October, I’m sorry.

 7               MR. KESSLER:      Okay. September 24. Thank

 8   you. So three motions. Can I have a second,

 9   please?

10               MS. HILDINGER:       Second.

11               MR. KESSLER:      And on the question, all

12   in favor?

13               MULTIPLE:     Aye.

14               MR. KESSLER:      Opposed? See you then.

15               MR. SINSABAUGH:       Yes. The one thing that

16   never got said, asked before you guys get to

17   this, we wanted to set a public hearing, if at

18   all possible, for October meeting. And if it

19   needs to be pushed out, pushed out, but our

20   client is obviously --

21               MR. KESSLER:      Anxious.

22               MR. SINSABAUGH:       -- anxious to get this

23   moved along, and obviously taking --

24               MR. KESSLER:      I’ve got to go by staff

 2   here. I think we need to do the site visit. I

 3   think there’s still a lot of issues that need to

 4   get settled before we invite the public in.

 5            MR. SINSABAUGH:         Okay.

 6            MR. KESSLER:        So, I appreciate it, but I

 7   think we’re going to have to wait one more month

 8   on that. So we had the motion. We had a vote.

 9   Yeah. Okay. Anything else? If not?

10            MR. KOBASA:        The time is 7:01, meeting’s

11   adjourned.

12            MR. KESSLER:        Thank you.
