Laurie Dodge: yeah yeah I we used to always vacate go up to a coats it in.

23
00:07:34.770 --> 00:07:50.880
Laurie Dodge: Like the second and third week of August, and it would get dark at you know quarter to eight or eight was like sort of the latest and I always had to remind myself oh yeah right the brightest day was in June two months ago which.

24
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:57.630
Laurie Dodge: I don't know somehow I just kind of forget, as the days get warmer in the summer happens and.

25
00:08:03.540 --> 00:08:04.200
Laurie Dodge: hey heather.

00:08:16.950 --> 00:08:30.990
Laurie Dodge: And heather sorry I you know, the other day, when you sent the information about the outage I had forwarded jock my husband sent he forwarded to me an email from clark's town saying all the media sites were out.

28
00:08:32.040 --> 00:08:40.530
Laurie Dodge: And I didn't I forgot to include it was just from my personal email, so what I should I should have done that, so you didn't have to look further into it, but thank you for them.

29
00:08:49.890 --> 00:08:54.570
Karen Tarapata: Then i'm looking for now is i'm looking for a moment.

30
00:08:56.850 --> 00:09:04.050
Karen Tarapata: Regulations so for river hooks so that I know that we are doing everything just right.

31
00:09:05.520 --> 00:09:11.850
Laurie Dodge: was our number was that we had fewer than 25 or 25 or fewer was that what we put in the regulations.

32
00:09:12.150 --> 00:09:13.380
Karen Tarapata: When you five or more.

33
00:09:13.650 --> 00:09:19.470
Laurie Dodge: or more, there was a problem right 25 fewer we're fine right Okay, and we don't know the numbers so.

34
00:09:21.180 --> 00:09:23.280
Karen Tarapata: i'm looking again because I don't know it.

35
00:09:24.300 --> 00:09:32.520
Karen Tarapata: Perfectly you see what i'm saying that's why i'm saying, I want to look to make sure that I have that I know what what we put on our.

36
00:09:33.390 --> 00:09:41.100
Karen Tarapata: Regulations and that's one of the things that's not currently in our gym ordinance, which is why we had to pull it off the website.

37
00:09:41.820 --> 00:09:52.290
Karen Tarapata: I would have heather work on that getting all the new local laws in the general ordinance so at least we have something that's up to date for people to refer to.

38
00:09:55.830 --> 00:09:55.980
This.

39
00:09:57.300 --> 00:10:21.630
Karen Tarapata: Alright, is everybody oh God everybody's here wonderful it's 701, this is a good evening, this is a special meeting of the upper nyack village Board of Trustees Thursday June 10 2021 we have a quorum lori diet and Roth child like as may Jeff Epstein and myself are terrified of.

40
00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:30.780
Karen Tarapata: All right, the first thing we're going to do tonight is we're going to review the environmental assessment form for the comprehensive plan.

41
00:10:32.010 --> 00:10:42.090
Karen Tarapata: Which i've been working with Noel on, and I wanted to sort of turn this over to her, this is the first step in doing secret for comprehensive plan.

42
00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:58.380
Noelle Wolfson: So i'm in the package for today's meeting, there is the environmental assessment form for the comprehensive plan now the adoption of a comprehensive plan is something called a Type one action undersea grow.

43
00:10:58.650 --> 00:11:09.480
Noelle Wolfson: I think everything we've done together, thus far has been an unlisted action under secret so we've used the short environmental assessment form and the short form part two.

44
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:22.860
Noelle Wolfson: But the adoption of the comprehensive plan is a type one action, meaning that under secret it's presumptively more likely than more likely to have an a significant environmental impact, and therefore the analysis is a little bit more detailed.

45
00:11:23.580 --> 00:11:30.120
Noelle Wolfson: you're still permitted to adopt a negative declaration of environmental significance if you find after your analysis that.

46
00:11:31.020 --> 00:11:41.970
Noelle Wolfson: The adoption of the comprehensive plan is not likely to have any significant negative environmental impacts, but a more detailed evaluation is required, so what you have for tonight and.

47
00:11:42.930 --> 00:11:53.640
Noelle Wolfson: For tonight, I think we just want to review these documents and discuss them and not take any action, this is just for the purposes of providing this initial analysis and then we can see where we are at the end of it.

48
00:11:53.970 --> 00:11:56.850
Noelle Wolfson: You know what kind of information we need her for comfortable moving forward.

49
00:11:57.900 --> 00:12:12.480
Noelle Wolfson: To have the part one, which was submitted and reviewed, initially with a comprehensive plan and that basically outlines that the sponsor of the application, which is the board of trustees here describes the action and then.

50
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:17.220
Noelle Wolfson: discussing some referrals and then has some project specific information.

51
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:29.670
Noelle Wolfson: And then there is part two, which is what you as the lead Agency are reviewing tonight now you are the lead agency in the review of this action under secret.

52
00:12:29.910 --> 00:12:46.230
Noelle Wolfson: But we didn't do a coordinated review the way we did, for example, with the annexation because there are no other involved agencies, no other agency has the right to fund or approve or undertake this action so you're the only agency so therefore, by default, the belief agency.

53
00:12:48.270 --> 00:12:59.670
Noelle Wolfson: And so what I would like to do tonight is to go through the very detailed part two of the full environmental assessment form, and I have prepared a draft of Part three.

54
00:13:00.540 --> 00:13:09.810
Noelle Wolfson: i'm to go along with part two, to propose the adoption of a negative declaration of environmental significance, now the reason why.

55
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:21.390
Noelle Wolfson: I propose this to you in this way is because the comprehensive plan is very detailed it goes through a lot of different aspects of planning for the village, but the overriding theme of it is.

56
00:13:22.020 --> 00:13:30.720
Noelle Wolfson: The patterns of population development, growth in the village are primarily a village of single family, residential properties with designated commercial districts.

57
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:36.450
Noelle Wolfson: and various other types of Community uses interspersed throughout you know schools religious uses Community uses.

58
00:13:36.810 --> 00:13:47.940
Noelle Wolfson: And that general pattern of population, distribution and growth is projected to continue in the comprehensive plan and a comprehensive plan articulated policies to continue that pattern of development.

59
00:13:48.390 --> 00:13:54.990
Noelle Wolfson: Except that one thing that's very clear in the comprehensive plan is that, in terms of policies and regs and.

60
00:13:55.320 --> 00:14:07.290
Noelle Wolfson: regulatory actions, the village, would like to make, make it take a step towards more environmentally protective regulations and that comes through in various sections of the comprehensive plan, but, most notably.

61
00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:18.990
Noelle Wolfson: The natural resources section, which is section 11 and in the climate planning and resilience chapter, which is Chapter three section 13.

62
00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:30.180
Noelle Wolfson: So, because of that overarching theme and everything in the comprehensive plan kind of working into that theme, I prepare for your consideration, this proposed negative declaration.

63
00:14:30.510 --> 00:14:42.540
Noelle Wolfson: So what we what I think we should do is to go through the part two of the EAS, along with the draft elaboration in part three, that I have prepared for discussion.

64
00:14:43.470 --> 00:14:59.640
Noelle Wolfson: And then we you know we can look at sections of the comprehensive plan or have a more detailed discussion about any particular part and so part three, has just a general starts with a general description of the comprehensive planning process, you know how the.

65
00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:04.920
Karen Tarapata: next page 26 if you're scrolling through these are three.

66
00:15:07.110 --> 00:15:15.210
Noelle Wolfson: So we start with just the general process the village followed, you know convening the committee holding the public input sessions.

67
00:15:15.630 --> 00:15:28.410
Noelle Wolfson: Working with consultants to draft the plan i'm holding the the public hearing, making the referrals to rockland county planning and the surrounding municipality is taking into account and making revisions.

68
00:15:28.860 --> 00:15:33.810
Noelle Wolfson: Pursuant to the comments made by rockland county planning and members of the public at the public hearings.

69
00:15:35.520 --> 00:15:36.510
Noelle Wolfson: And then.

70
00:15:37.560 --> 00:15:53.880
Noelle Wolfson: We go on to describe how this is going to create village policy going forward so most of the decisions that you make as a board after this is adapted you want to keep in mind with a comprehensive plan provides.

71
00:15:54.780 --> 00:15:56.370
Noelle Wolfson: So we talked about how.

72
00:15:57.150 --> 00:16:11.970
Noelle Wolfson: This is a first step for our planning for the future and whenever we do a secret review for anything else in the future, one thing that will have to do is evaluate the compliance of that action with this plan, because in both the short and long form a if.

73
00:16:12.630 --> 00:16:16.710
Noelle Wolfson: there's a question, you know, is this action in accordance with the communities comprehensive plan.

74
00:16:18.330 --> 00:16:22.260
Noelle Wolfson: So that's just the general introductory part of the part three.

75
00:16:23.520 --> 00:16:33.870
Noelle Wolfson: And so Now I know this is good, this might be a lot of jumping back and forth, but in the part two, there are topics of environmental consideration.

76
00:16:34.590 --> 00:16:46.950
Noelle Wolfson: And i've taken those topics and made a corresponding topic in the part three, so that we can kind of go through the questions and then talk about where the comprehensive plan addresses these things, and then kind of have a discussion on it.

77
00:16:47.730 --> 00:16:57.870
Noelle Wolfson: So um and Karen if you want to jump in at any point with the page references in the computer I have everything printed out, so I don't have I don't have the PDF.

78
00:16:59.430 --> 00:17:05.910
Karen Tarapata: So, right now, what we're talking about we start to go in which we are on page 29.

79
00:17:07.230 --> 00:17:09.270
Noelle Wolfson: So the first thing that we want to.

80
00:17:09.690 --> 00:17:20.310
Laurie Dodge: have them listed that way in this document that i'm looking at maybe because I didn't print it or you just it on Part two

81
00:17:20.610 --> 00:17:23.520
Noelle Wolfson: Yes, it says it has kind of an italicize caption.

82
00:17:23.550 --> 00:17:23.880
Laurie Dodge: yeah.

83
00:17:24.060 --> 00:17:30.810
Noelle Wolfson: This is important for part two, and where we'll start is in the in the box and one, the impact on land.

84
00:17:31.620 --> 00:17:34.200
Karen Tarapata: Oh so we're back into part two, I was, I was.

85
00:17:34.620 --> 00:17:38.940
Karen Tarapata: Actually descriptions in part three, I was going to the long part.

86
00:17:39.450 --> 00:17:40.110
Karen Tarapata: Actually.

87
00:17:40.890 --> 00:17:47.370
Karen Tarapata: I understand you know what i'm gonna do i'm actually going to open another window with part two, in it, so yeah go ahead and.

88
00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:51.870
Laurie Dodge: Actually, you know what that's probably a good idea yeah because I didn't I didn't print them.

89
00:17:52.170 --> 00:17:53.490
Noelle Wolfson: Okay yeah so it might be a good.

90
00:17:53.490 --> 00:17:55.140
Karen Tarapata: idea to try page, you know.

91
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:55.590
yeah.

92
00:17:57.030 --> 00:17:59.310
Laurie Dodge: Well, I want to waste the pit I mean it is kind of a.

93
00:17:59.340 --> 00:18:05.670
Laurie Dodge: Paper waster yes, when you can just look at it like this Okay, I did the same thing see.

94
00:18:06.210 --> 00:18:18.330
Noelle Wolfson: So it'd be good to have the impact on land section of the part two, and the section of the elaboration in part three and it's bold and it says impact on land as part to question one.

95
00:18:18.600 --> 00:18:20.490
Laurie Dodge: Okay, hang on, let me get there.

96
00:18:22.350 --> 00:18:22.650
So.

97
00:18:25.590 --> 00:18:31.020
sylviajeff: You happen to know if I was looking on pot to where I would find it but page.

98
00:18:31.650 --> 00:18:34.140
Noelle Wolfson: It would be page one of 10 of Part two

99
00:18:35.910 --> 00:18:40.860
Noelle Wolfson: So there's like a bolted number at the bottom of the page and this starts page one of 10.

100
00:18:43.320 --> 00:18:48.720
Karen Tarapata: yeah there we are and in our packet that's page 16 okay.

101
00:18:48.780 --> 00:18:49.140
sylviajeff: got it.

102
00:18:49.740 --> 00:19:04.530
Laurie Dodge: Okay, and then so Noel in the third section, the world where you work where we have village of upper comprehensive plan guidelines for sustainable Community these there you have the introduction.

103
00:19:04.770 --> 00:19:16.410
Laurie Dodge: yeah and then we scroll down to something about land I read all this and I saw the sections, but evaluation of potential project impacts land gotcha.

104
00:19:17.610 --> 00:19:18.000
Laurie Dodge: yep yeah.

105
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:25.650
Noelle Wolfson: So um, I think, just like with a short for me as well just go through all the all the questions in the part two.

106
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:35.040
Noelle Wolfson: So the the overriding question is, will the proposed action may involve construction on or physical alteration of the land.

107
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:45.330
Noelle Wolfson: surface of the proposed site, so of course, the answer to that is no because the comprehensive plan does not cause any physical alteration to land.

108
00:19:45.930 --> 00:20:06.960
Noelle Wolfson: And so many of these other questions in the in this impact on land Part One would have to be no because because they're related to construction on land, but the one thing that I want to point out is and the one thing that and what i've described in the part three, is that.

109
00:20:08.430 --> 00:20:15.090
Noelle Wolfson: The adoption, the comprehensive plan won't have an impact on land because it's not going to cause any physical disturbance.

110
00:20:15.450 --> 00:20:26.490
Noelle Wolfson: And not only that the comprehensive plan for future actions will propose policies that are more protective when land is being disturbed, most particularly.

111
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:39.510
Noelle Wolfson: When talking about changes to the proposed requirements for steep slopes, and that is in section 1110 of the comprehensive plan and we talked about crafting a.

112
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:52.050
Noelle Wolfson: Three tiered approach to regulating steep slopes, and the level of disturbance that's permitted on those various slope, so we start right now under our code you can't disturb anything that's the slope of.

113
00:20:52.050 --> 00:20:53.400
Karen Tarapata: 40% or more.

114
00:20:53.640 --> 00:21:09.990
Noelle Wolfson: And what we're proposing is to start regulation at 15% slope and have a moderately steep steep and very steep slope and permit certain levels varying levels of disturbance but restricted levels of disturbance compared to you know non steep slope property.

115
00:21:11.070 --> 00:21:16.860
Noelle Wolfson: And the way we arrived at kind of the three categories is based on the ETF using similar categories.

116
00:21:17.580 --> 00:21:33.420
Noelle Wolfson: So, in terms of impact of the land, the adoption of this will not cause any impact to the in the physical land but policies adopted in accordance with this plan will be more protective, particularly of slopes, which is obviously really notable in a village with topography like up or next.

117
00:21:37.140 --> 00:21:44.520
Noelle Wolfson: So um do you have any questions, or is there anything you'd like to discuss about the impact on land section.

118
00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:48.120
Okay.

119
00:21:49.470 --> 00:21:55.860
Noelle Wolfson: Okay, so the next one will move to number two and part two, and awesome so the next section in the in the part three.

120
00:21:56.190 --> 00:22:07.860
Noelle Wolfson: So we have impact on geological features, so the the part two question is the proposed action may result in the modification or destruction of or inhibit access to any unique or unusual land form on the site.

121
00:22:08.430 --> 00:22:18.990
Noelle Wolfson: And again, since we don't have any physical disturbance, the answer would be no, but one thing I wanted to point out here is that um.

122
00:22:20.250 --> 00:22:35.130
Noelle Wolfson: You know hook mountain a portion of which hook mountains, a park is within the village and and that's a national natural landmark and what we're proposing and the comprehensive plan is to incorporate.

123
00:22:36.210 --> 00:22:49.710
Noelle Wolfson: A Hudson river overlay district, to add more protection and maybe a little bit of you know, river specific and hook mountain specific considerations along the Hudson river at the.

124
00:22:50.190 --> 00:22:53.790
Noelle Wolfson: At the portion of the village near hook mountain and also.

125
00:22:54.330 --> 00:23:06.990
Noelle Wolfson: Incorporating considerations of view sightlines views of and from both the Hudson river and hook mountain so it's not exactly pertaining directly to impact on the physical geological feature.

126
00:23:07.260 --> 00:23:15.000
Noelle Wolfson: But we do have that notion of protection, particularly i've hooked mountain and the significance it has for the village within the comprehensive plan.

127
00:23:16.860 --> 00:23:34.440
Karen Tarapata: I know there was there was also some discussion when we have during our conversations on the slope formula that God geological outcroppings were also part of what we protected correct so since we are being more protective of these geological features.

128
00:23:36.600 --> 00:23:39.300
Noelle Wolfson: That is a good point to add in.

129
00:23:41.460 --> 00:24:07.920
Noelle Wolfson: In the part three elaboration, let me just get to 11 because, even at President we we limit disturbance of rock outcropping and we're proposing for that to continue.

130
00:24:14.430 --> 00:24:23.070
Noelle Wolfson: Is there anything you'd like to talk about in the geological features section, we can talk about that if you wanted to talk in more detail about the Hudson river overlay district.

131
00:24:23.670 --> 00:24:30.870
Noelle Wolfson: We could talk about that now because it's referenced here that will come up in some other sections, too, because that has a variety of different aspects to it.

132
00:24:35.370 --> 00:24:55.500
Noelle Wolfson: But if there is nothing on on that we can move on to surface to surface water and i've taken two sections of the part two, and combine them into one section of the part three so i've done surface water and groundwater together, so the first the first.

133
00:24:56.850 --> 00:25:05.820
Noelle Wolfson: section in the part two, is number three impacts on surface water, the proposed action may affect one or more wetlands or other surface water bodies.

134
00:25:07.350 --> 00:25:11.640
Noelle Wolfson: And then we have the sub questions will the proposed action, create a new Water body.

135
00:25:12.270 --> 00:25:24.060
Noelle Wolfson: No increase or decrease 10% of 10 acres or of development know you know, most of these questions are no But then when we get down to he says, does the proposed actually may cause soil erosion, or.

136
00:25:24.300 --> 00:25:32.580
Noelle Wolfson: Otherwise, create a source of storm water discharge that may lead to seal station and then I the proposed action may affect water quality.

137
00:25:34.170 --> 00:25:48.180
Noelle Wolfson: With regard to those two we have some very specific policy objectives in section 11 seven of the comprehensive plan that talks about preservation of stream beds and stormwater management.

138
00:25:49.410 --> 00:25:51.360
Noelle Wolfson: So in those areas.

139
00:25:52.530 --> 00:26:02.430
Noelle Wolfson: The comprehensive plan is really putting forth some pretty specific policies to facilitate better stormwater management practices.

140
00:26:03.180 --> 00:26:19.920
Noelle Wolfson: Better surface, you know, to obtain better surface water quality, and so we certainly won't be having a negative environmental impact and hope to have a positive impact on these resources and and much of that is set forth in section 11 seven be of the comprehensive plan.

141
00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:43.680
Noelle Wolfson: um Okay, so that is so that is the surface water um did you want to review any part of the 11 seven Are you familiar with with those policy objectives of facilitating stormwater management and the streams that, particularly in the context of the stream and watercourse protection.

142
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:49.020
Karen Tarapata: Why not Kevin I have gone through this a million times.

143
00:26:50.310 --> 00:26:52.500
Karen Tarapata: But if anyone else wants to speak to it.

144
00:26:54.120 --> 00:26:54.570
michael esmay: No.

145
00:26:56.490 --> 00:26:59.310
michael esmay: Just in the future we're going to have a stream law that's for sure.

146
00:27:05.970 --> 00:27:09.420
Noelle Wolfson: Okay, so let's go on to surface water.

147
00:27:12.090 --> 00:27:12.510
sylviajeff: water.

148
00:27:12.600 --> 00:27:25.230
Noelle Wolfson: Water sorry, yes, the ground water, so the question reads the proposed action may result in new or additional use of groundwater or may have the potential to introduce contaminants into the groundwater aquifer.

149
00:27:26.280 --> 00:27:42.870
Noelle Wolfson: So we can pretty much go through all of the all of this sub questions in this part with not applicable um you know I just pointed out, and had a note about see the proposed actually may allow result in residential uses in areas without water and sewer services.

150
00:27:44.340 --> 00:27:57.180
Noelle Wolfson: And for the most part, I think most of the residential sections at the village are served by municipal water and sewer so so and we're not really changing those patterns of development, again, so I don't believe that's an issue in a comprehensive plan.

151
00:27:58.380 --> 00:28:11.880
Karen Tarapata: There are a few pre existing non conforming oh that still have septic but that those are places where they it's been in place for a very long time it's not creating anything new.

152
00:28:14.550 --> 00:28:26.880
sylviajeff: Can I just ask a question, is it is it reasonable for me to think of surface for that has natural what is, then, groundwater is more man made or something like that it was, is it that's an oversimplification.

153
00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:30.090
Karen Tarapata: what's the definition.

154
00:28:30.780 --> 00:28:41.400
Noelle Wolfson: yeah I mean I would think of surface waters as anything you know flowing above the grounds just streams man made watercourses rivers ponds.

155
00:28:42.270 --> 00:28:54.630
Noelle Wolfson: Wetlands to start you know to certain extent, and I would think of groundwater resources as as aquifers infiltration and particularly for our perspective, the use of potable water by.

156
00:28:55.320 --> 00:29:05.130
Noelle Wolfson: By property users, you know residents in businesses in the village and that sort of is where the discussion of impacts occurs here because.

157
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:11.280
Noelle Wolfson: In section 13, which is the resilience section, can we talk about you know when you.

158
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:25.470
Noelle Wolfson: When you have land use applications if they are in certain locations, you have to refer them to rockland county planning for comment, the way we were for the comprehensive plan and one comment you get very often is that Water is a scarce resource in rockland county.

159
00:29:26.610 --> 00:29:33.270
Noelle Wolfson: And so the resilience, climate change and resilient section of the comprehensive plan goes through several.

160
00:29:34.380 --> 00:29:41.340
Noelle Wolfson: Several policy perspectives and ideas for conserving.

161
00:29:43.230 --> 00:29:52.620
Noelle Wolfson: for conserving water and reusing water rain gardens recharge you know, to protect groundwater resources so that's really where.

162
00:29:53.250 --> 00:30:06.960
Noelle Wolfson: Where the comprehensive plan kind of focuses on this idea of groundwater preservation all towards preserving you know, preserving groundwater resources as the scarce resource in rockland county and therefore proposing policy is more protective of the environment.

163
00:30:08.550 --> 00:30:12.390
Karen Tarapata: One thing that is interesting to me, I have noticed this before, is that it says.

164
00:30:14.310 --> 00:30:33.210
Karen Tarapata: First, specifically to residential uses of areas without water and sewer services, because we do have one or two commercial properties at the north end of nine w that work on wealth they've had to run their sprinkler systems, because the.

165
00:30:34.260 --> 00:30:49.080
Karen Tarapata: municipal water doesn't go up to their properties, the sewers do, but not the not the water I just found it interesting they only mentioned residential but I guess that's because that's much more critical the uses is more consistent and.

166
00:30:50.100 --> 00:30:54.870
Karen Tarapata: You wouldn't want people to live, where they they couldn't have those services sure sure.

167
00:31:00.990 --> 00:31:06.030
sylviajeff: Do you think that needs to be adjusted to include commercial for those not necessary.

168
00:31:06.450 --> 00:31:18.210
Karen Tarapata: No, because they already exist and they're they're not there are new lots being created it's just that it's just interesting to me, I did not know that Casa del mar runs on a.

169
00:31:19.350 --> 00:31:20.040
Karen Tarapata: On a well.

170
00:31:22.860 --> 00:31:31.710
Karen Tarapata: I didn't know until I looked at the services in the road what we were doing the annexation and then discovered that that was the case but.

171
00:31:32.310 --> 00:31:42.450
Karen Tarapata: It really it's it's worked fine and it's not anything, there are no new places they're saying you know do residential uses, which is why that's commercial and not residential.

172
00:31:43.650 --> 00:31:45.810
Karen Tarapata: It never should have been residential.

173
00:31:50.370 --> 00:31:58.200
Kennon Rothchild: hey I assume, this is a just a typo point I assume that this will be gone through, but on page four.

174
00:32:00.150 --> 00:32:10.800
Kennon Rothchild: At the top where we're talking about right now the second paragraph there starts to build it recognizes that Water is a scarce resource right I think auto correct.

175
00:32:12.210 --> 00:32:17.610
Kennon Rothchild: Correct got you on that one, so thank you just type of point oh sure, thank you.

176
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:19.050
Noelle Wolfson: Yes, I will correct that.

177
00:32:20.190 --> 00:32:20.970
Noelle Wolfson: i'm.

178
00:32:22.860 --> 00:32:25.440
Kennon Rothchild: waited way to get lori's notes, then you'll really know.

179
00:32:26.790 --> 00:32:32.520
Noelle Wolfson: I appreciate it all, because you know once once you read it for the hundredth time sometimes you read right over those things.

180
00:32:33.600 --> 00:32:33.990
So.

181
00:32:35.700 --> 00:32:43.410
Noelle Wolfson: Good is there any others kind of discussion you'd like to have did you want to look at section 13.

182
00:32:44.760 --> 00:32:57.030
Noelle Wolfson: Of the water resources are you familiar with that section um you know I know we discussed these policies during you know, during the public hearing process, I believe, we had a discussion of a beast well.

183
00:32:59.190 --> 00:33:02.820
Karen Tarapata: I think we have discussed it pretty thoroughly OK.

184
00:33:04.530 --> 00:33:21.270
Noelle Wolfson: OK, so the next topic is impact on flooding, so the proposed action may result in development on land, subject to flooding so again since we're not talking about physical development of property, most of the sub questions are not applicable.

185
00:33:22.560 --> 00:33:36.960
Noelle Wolfson: But you know, again, this will come up in several of the sections, but the comprehensive plan to both an entire chapter to climate planning and resilience and a huge part of that is preparing for you know for flood and mitigating risks from flood.

186
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:43.290
Noelle Wolfson: So the comprehensive plan at section at pages.

187
00:33:47.100 --> 00:33:49.290
Noelle Wolfson: recommends several.

188
00:33:50.340 --> 00:33:54.450
Karen Tarapata: Planning and protection measures, you know preservation open space.

189
00:33:54.720 --> 00:34:06.420
Noelle Wolfson: Production maintenance improvement of stream channels that handles to handle storing water flows mapping and preservation of wetlands and consideration of storm water and mitigation as a part of all land development activities.

190
00:34:06.840 --> 00:34:17.280
Noelle Wolfson: which already occurs, of course, we you know every application for land development is reviewed for stormwater management practices in accordance with our stormwater management law that's a part of the villages zoning law.

191
00:34:18.540 --> 00:34:28.680
Noelle Wolfson: But the comprehensive plan also recommends that the village village is annual capital spending should include allocation of funds for extensions to the villages municipal drainage system.

192
00:34:29.010 --> 00:34:35.070
Noelle Wolfson: And that the village should consider acquisition of drainage easements to allow a more active role in maintaining this infrastructure.

193
00:34:36.300 --> 00:34:54.210
Noelle Wolfson: So that's discussed in 13 313 seven also in Chapter 1111 seven and also in section 1010 seven sets forth a lot of these policies because that's it, you know that's a very big area of the of planning and will be for the future, so we address it very thoroughly in the comprehensive plan.

194
00:35:00.810 --> 00:35:12.570
Noelle Wolfson: Okay um do you guys have any questions about about this topic about the policies and procedures for you know for for flood mitigation.

195
00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:16.770
This is also a topic that I know we've discussed at length so.

196
00:35:20.670 --> 00:35:34.620
Noelle Wolfson: Okay, so the next topic is impacts on air, the proposed action may include a State regulated air emissions source, so of course the adoption of the comprehensive plan does not include a State regulated air emissions resource.

197
00:35:35.490 --> 00:35:41.370
Noelle Wolfson: So, again we just kind of review the quality of life, Section addresses air quality impacts.

198
00:35:42.870 --> 00:35:48.150
Of course, you know the the noise law kind of touches on that in terms of of.

199
00:35:49.560 --> 00:35:56.100
Engine driven lawn equipment section 13 climate planning and resilience also touches on this.

200
00:35:58.140 --> 00:36:13.620
Noelle Wolfson: We also have an in section 13 a variety of policies that the village can pursue, taking into account its own physical infrastructure it's vehicles and its other policies and code enforcement to.

201
00:36:14.220 --> 00:36:23.820
Noelle Wolfson: To think about greener alternatives, and you know enhanced energy codes green building policies to try to mitigate any effects on air.

202
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:32.940
Noelle Wolfson: So you know, on the policy objectives set forth in the comprehensive plan on that point, strive to be more protective of the environment.

203
00:36:37.410 --> 00:36:47.820
Noelle Wolfson: Is there any portion of this that you'd like to discuss or go through it in in more detail the sub questions really are pretty applicable here since they're talking about the state regulated admission source.

204
00:36:48.060 --> 00:36:48.450
yeah.

205
00:36:51.900 --> 00:36:52.650
OK.

206
00:36:53.970 --> 00:37:01.800
Noelle Wolfson: So the next topic is the impact on plants and animals, so the proposed action may result in loss of Flora or fauna.

207
00:37:02.640 --> 00:37:09.750
Noelle Wolfson: And again, we we check no for that, and you know we have multiple policies and the comprehensive plan.

208
00:37:10.620 --> 00:37:19.920
Noelle Wolfson: To support to support plants and animals and, most notably is the acquisition of river hook and.

209
00:37:20.670 --> 00:37:27.240
Noelle Wolfson: The significant discussion the comprehensive plan of the steps the village will take in the next several years to adopt the.

210
00:37:27.690 --> 00:37:35.700
Noelle Wolfson: master plan for river hook, and you know to sort of make it we refer to as the green heart of the village about the comprehensive plan and.

211
00:37:36.180 --> 00:37:42.720
Noelle Wolfson: We also talked about sort of the more stringent tree regulations or maybe not more stringent, but more comprehensive.

212
00:37:43.410 --> 00:37:51.390
Noelle Wolfson: tree regulations in the village to think about not only trees in the context of the removal and regulation also in the context of.

213
00:37:52.140 --> 00:38:03.480
Noelle Wolfson: The right tree in the right place and being mindful of the function of trees having the tree farm on the River hook preserve to you know, have an available resource for the village itself and for its residents.

214
00:38:04.410 --> 00:38:18.840
Noelle Wolfson: And then, again we reference the the protection of disturbance too steep slopes, because that will result, hopefully in the maintenance of existing vegetation and less less disturbance particularly sensitive areas.

215
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:29.250
Noelle Wolfson: Again I think most of the sub questions.

216
00:38:30.090 --> 00:38:32.880
Karen Tarapata: In seven are not really.

217
00:38:34.740 --> 00:38:42.180
Since since we won't have any physical loss of flora and fauna, and we have several policies and the comprehensive plan kind of to support.

218
00:38:43.230 --> 00:38:45.990
To support plants and the animals that live there.

219
00:38:48.690 --> 00:38:49.560
OK.

220
00:38:51.300 --> 00:39:03.480
Noelle Wolfson: The next is the impact on agricultural resources, and you know in this section, we just sort of kind of talk about the recognition and the history section of the villages origins as an agricultural village.

221
00:39:04.170 --> 00:39:12.330
Noelle Wolfson: You know, but in the last several decades it's really transformed from an agricultural village to a you know, a suburban village and there's really very few.

222
00:39:13.110 --> 00:39:22.410
Noelle Wolfson: Agricultural properties, if any, full full agricultural properties in the in the village, one thing I note in here is that we do have a.

223
00:39:22.980 --> 00:39:27.990
Noelle Wolfson: General ordinance ordinance permitting process for the keeping of livestock and chickens.

224
00:39:28.200 --> 00:39:38.280
Noelle Wolfson: And it's actually a very popular permit that several village residents pursue and it's certainly something that will will keep and foster both as a part of policies implemented through the comprehensive plan.

225
00:39:39.300 --> 00:39:44.130
Noelle Wolfson: And it's implementing regulations, so I do note that here in the in the agricultural resources section.

226
00:39:48.780 --> 00:39:53.430
Noelle Wolfson: Is there any, are there any questions or anything you'd like to discuss on the agricultural resources.

227
00:39:54.960 --> 00:40:09.240
Karen Tarapata: No, I see people you know enjoying their own gardening but I don't know if currently we have any commercial agricultural enterprises was wasn't there was something up on ratcliffe.

228
00:40:10.890 --> 00:40:13.080
Karen Tarapata: Or maybe it was just a consideration that.

229
00:40:14.250 --> 00:40:15.330
Karen Tarapata: I don't know of any.

230
00:40:17.820 --> 00:40:18.120
Laurie Dodge: Any.

231
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:21.900
michael esmay: Okay, yes, the chickens.

232
00:40:23.520 --> 00:40:30.510
Karen Tarapata: And somebody go on high mountain, I want to know who it is because that's when noisy oops.

233
00:40:31.980 --> 00:40:32.730
Laurie Dodge: Oh, really.

234
00:40:32.850 --> 00:40:36.300
Karen Tarapata: loose as a goose someone's got chickens.

235
00:40:37.500 --> 00:40:41.550
Karen Tarapata: But I haven't figured out yet, but I don't think they are but anyway, I know it's a good.

236
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:45.150
Laurie Dodge: next step, Guinea hen you'll definitely hear them.

237
00:40:45.870 --> 00:40:50.490
Karen Tarapata: Oh, I know I was all over YouTube trying to find out if they were getting hands or not, but know what to do.

238
00:40:52.680 --> 00:41:04.890
Noelle Wolfson: And there is there's the pending application for a piglet at the summit school, so this you know general ordinance 513 is not limited to chickens, although that's you know the most typical type of application, it can resolve.

239
00:41:05.550 --> 00:41:06.120
duck so.

240
00:41:07.980 --> 00:41:08.370
michael esmay: goats.

241
00:41:09.510 --> 00:41:10.530
michael esmay: They barely have to go.

242
00:41:10.620 --> 00:41:11.850
Laurie Dodge: yeah and they only oh.

243
00:41:13.380 --> 00:41:13.830
Laurie Dodge: No.

244
00:41:14.820 --> 00:41:21.960
Noelle Wolfson: OK, the next section is impact on aesthetic resources, so the land, the.

245
00:41:22.410 --> 00:41:32.820
Noelle Wolfson: Land Use of the proposed actions are obviously different from or in sharp sharp contrast to currently patterns between the proposed project and scenic or aesthetic resources.

246
00:41:33.810 --> 00:41:41.400
Noelle Wolfson: So we have the proposed action may be visible from any officially designated federal state or local scenic aesthetic resource, you know just sort of.

247
00:41:42.600 --> 00:41:49.440
Noelle Wolfson: like to note in this section that hook mountain is a national natural landmark.

248
00:41:50.970 --> 00:41:51.660
and

249
00:41:54.630 --> 00:42:08.970
Noelle Wolfson: So we have several policies in the comprehensive plan to take into account, instead of resources um and not only you know not only hook mountain, but also, of course, the Hudson river trail ways to preserve, so we have.

250
00:42:10.140 --> 00:42:20.370
Noelle Wolfson: The protection of view sheds and consideration of view sheds and views of and from hook mountain the Hudson river as part of the site plan process in in the comprehensive plan.

251
00:42:21.330 --> 00:42:32.250
Noelle Wolfson: We also have a proposal to create in our 160 residents district that would apply to the portions of land at the northern part of the village.

252
00:42:33.030 --> 00:42:40.920
Noelle Wolfson: that's currently you know hook mountain state park night each State park and Mary Dell, because you know if those should ever become.

253
00:42:41.310 --> 00:42:56.490
Noelle Wolfson: properties in private ownership subtraction development because of their very significant environmental resources they've been you know their proposed to be placed in a large large zoning district, so that those resources can be considered if their future development were ever to occur.

254
00:43:00.540 --> 00:43:06.570
Noelle Wolfson: We also talked here about the creation of the Hudson river overlay district, and certainly something significant for consideration.

255
00:43:06.810 --> 00:43:26.130
Noelle Wolfson: That regulations in that adds an overlay district would be protecting and preserving views of the Hudson and o'clock mountain, so these these topics are primarily addressed in section 514 and 15 so section five is the residential alternative section.

256
00:43:27.180 --> 00:43:35.640
Just because much of the land along the Hudson is in the residential zoning districts and we talked about the 160 proposal for for the land in the northern part of the village.

257
00:43:37.230 --> 00:43:46.380
Noelle Wolfson: um Okay, do you have any questions or want to review anything any part of the open space sorry we're at the aesthetics resources in more detail.

258
00:43:48.540 --> 00:43:52.080
Karen Tarapata: Okay, the hundred million dollar aesthetic resource.

259
00:43:54.750 --> 00:43:55.740
Karen Tarapata: Pretty significant.

260
00:43:59.010 --> 00:44:05.100
Noelle Wolfson: So the next you know related topic is impact on historical and archeological resources.

261
00:44:06.600 --> 00:44:08.430
Noelle Wolfson: And the comprehensive plan.

262
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:21.870
Noelle Wolfson: dedicates a significant amount of time to to its historic resources and special districts and landmarks, that is, I believe that section nine.

263
00:44:23.250 --> 00:44:25.650
Noelle Wolfson: Excuse me section eight and.

264
00:44:27.870 --> 00:44:36.180
Noelle Wolfson: There are several kind of policy goals and objectives for the village to pursue in the coming decade on this front.

265
00:44:37.200 --> 00:44:50.010
Noelle Wolfson: So we suggest we we specify some significant resources in the village, you know hook mapped in manhattan's landing district river hook village Hall, and the firehouse Mary del the old stone meeting house.

266
00:44:50.580 --> 00:44:56.520
Noelle Wolfson: brookside and shadow cliff we also talked about preparing an inventory of historic resources.

267
00:44:58.260 --> 00:45:06.870
Noelle Wolfson: We have a an incentive for preserving large kind of riverfront mansions or significant architectural a significant buildings, you know.

268
00:45:07.410 --> 00:45:19.950
Noelle Wolfson: Multiple dwellings not being a multi family housing is now use as permitted in the village, except that there's a special permit process to convert your existing large homes into into multi.

269
00:45:19.980 --> 00:45:21.120
Laurie Dodge: dwelling think that.

270
00:45:21.270 --> 00:45:37.620
Noelle Wolfson: Is in the current zoning law and is proposed to continue and so those so the analysis of these resources discussed at length in section eight and also in 513 the residential alternative section which talks about you know the multiple dwelling conversion.

271
00:45:41.880 --> 00:45:47.820
Noelle Wolfson: summit sure if you have any questions about that you know something that I can I meant to mention upfront is that.

272
00:45:48.330 --> 00:45:54.600
Noelle Wolfson: Because of the nature of the comprehensive plan itself as a planning and environmental analysis document.

273
00:45:54.870 --> 00:46:08.700
Noelle Wolfson: i've proposed in the part three neck deck to incorporate not only the part two, analysis and the analysis that we're reviewing but the entire comprehensive plan itself, because it does a lot of what secret requires you to do in terms of.

274
00:46:09.270 --> 00:46:24.870
Noelle Wolfson: You know, considering policies and planning decisions evaluating impacts and stating goals so as a part of what we're reviewing now, if you read the introduction, we sort of say that we're incorporating entirely by reference the comprehensive plan.

275
00:46:26.520 --> 00:46:36.540
Laurie Dodge: I just have a question that's and I don't know that it's sequel related although we're talking about it here in terms of the mansion's becoming multi dwelling.

276
00:46:38.820 --> 00:46:51.360
Laurie Dodge: facilities, we have any I know that we have them on the River now do we have any concern with being able, for other properties, to be used in that way.

277
00:46:53.670 --> 00:47:03.330
Laurie Dodge: I have read the comprehensive plan recently I read it obviously when I proof read it, you know, five months ago I don't I don't really remember the specific language.

278
00:47:03.960 --> 00:47:06.210
Karen Tarapata: So no well it's very limited isn't it that.

279
00:47:07.980 --> 00:47:08.280
Karen Tarapata: Now.

280
00:47:09.720 --> 00:47:10.920
Laurie Dodge: I can go back and look.

281
00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:16.410
Karen Tarapata: At conversion long is not being.

282
00:47:17.700 --> 00:47:20.370
Karen Tarapata: dramatically altered is probably being strengthened defend.

283
00:47:20.370 --> 00:47:22.410
Noelle Wolfson: Okay sure, and I can tell.

284
00:47:23.490 --> 00:47:24.180
Karen Tarapata: You if I had.

285
00:47:24.630 --> 00:47:31.530
Noelle Wolfson: I probably do have i'm just flipping through the zoning code and I can tell you what the standards are for that conversion.

286
00:47:35.070 --> 00:47:46.530
Laurie Dodge: And we can, if you want, we can take it offline I know if no one else is is interested or concerned I just based on other things that are happening in the area I just I know, obviously.

287
00:47:48.690 --> 00:48:01.200
Karen Tarapata: it's the same number of units that you would get if you were able to subdivide the property So if you had a house on a four acre property and one acre zoning you could put for condoms in there that's the law.

288
00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:02.250
Laurie Dodge: gotcha.

289
00:48:03.120 --> 00:48:13.980
Karen Tarapata: So that's a lot of other restrictions, but that's basically it it doesn't say anything Oh, you have a mansion on an acre you can turn it into 16 apartments.

290
00:48:14.040 --> 00:48:14.730
Karen Tarapata: and hopefully not.

291
00:48:15.600 --> 00:48:20.820
Karen Tarapata: it's very tied to what would have happened if you tore down the mansion.

292
00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:23.640
Laurie Dodge: OK.

293
00:48:29.670 --> 00:48:30.480
OK.

294
00:48:32.160 --> 00:48:40.260
Noelle Wolfson: OK, the next section is impact on critical environmental areas, so we actually we don't.

295
00:48:40.290 --> 00:48:41.280
sylviajeff: know, I think.

296
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:42.660
sylviajeff: Just.

297
00:48:44.070 --> 00:48:46.320
Noelle Wolfson: Sorry, I jumped right over open space okay.

298
00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:47.940
Laurie Dodge: open.

299
00:48:49.500 --> 00:48:55.650
Noelle Wolfson: Okay, the proposed to action may result in the loss of recreational opportunities or reduction of open space resources.

300
00:48:57.030 --> 00:49:07.200
Noelle Wolfson: As designated in any adapted municipal open space plan so, this being a comprehensive plan you know, will serve the function of have such a plan.

301
00:49:08.640 --> 00:49:23.160
Noelle Wolfson: And on this front, again we talked about Nike state park and hook mountain state park offering significant open space in recreational opportunities for the village, and then we really focus on the preserve as the Green harden the village and.

302
00:49:23.820 --> 00:49:36.930
Noelle Wolfson: And the policy is and direction of where the preserve will go in, you know, in the coming decade, so that is addressed in Section seven eight of the comprehensive plan, we also talked about.

303
00:49:38.340 --> 00:49:49.620
Noelle Wolfson: The trails and bike routes that run through the village that we discuss both in the recreation section, and also in the transportation section as part of the complete streets block which concept.

304
00:49:53.940 --> 00:50:02.610
Noelle Wolfson: So that one seems pretty straightforward that you know the preserve is our primary focus for open space and then you know, taking advantage of other open space opportunities as they come.

305
00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:04.680
Laurie Dodge: But prisoner in space because of.

306
00:50:04.710 --> 00:50:09.120
Noelle Wolfson: All the the beneficial environmentally beneficial resources, it provides you know.

307
00:50:10.650 --> 00:50:20.070
Noelle Wolfson: You know, open areas for aesthetic purposes stormwater mitigation flora and fauna preservation habitat for animals all those things.

308
00:50:24.780 --> 00:50:29.730
Noelle Wolfson: we're very familiar with, but do you have any questions or any discussion about the about the open space.

309
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:45.720
Noelle Wolfson: Okay, so now on to critical environmental areas and the proposed actually may be located within or Jason to a critical environmental area, so we don't currently have any designated environmental environmental areas in the village.

310
00:50:48.330 --> 00:50:54.000
Noelle Wolfson: We have maintenance and protection of environmentally sensitive areas are important goal of a comprehensive plan.

311
00:50:54.240 --> 00:51:05.040
Noelle Wolfson: And the comprehensive plan recommends that the village defined map and develop standards for village defined critical environmental areas and encourage the preservation and protection of those areas.

312
00:51:05.580 --> 00:51:20.940
Noelle Wolfson: So again, that is advocating for policies in the future more protective of the environment and thinking about designating some critical environmental areas, you know, perhaps some of the screen beds, perhaps keeps those areas, perhaps some areas near the Hudson you know we might be all.

313
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:28.080
sylviajeff: candidates for that so that stays more open ended for us to define as because forward.

314
00:51:28.560 --> 00:51:44.430
Noelle Wolfson: Right so in the comprehensive plan we don't say you know, specifically, we don't provide a lot of detail on where we're going to pursue those things, but just to have the goal and policy objective of pursuing that in more detail in the coming decade.

315
00:51:49.530 --> 00:51:58.500
Noelle Wolfson: Okay, the next one is the impact on transportation, the proposed action may result in a change to existing transportation systems.

316
00:51:58.950 --> 00:52:12.810
Noelle Wolfson: And so, for this section, there is an entire chapter or section section nine in the comprehensive plan dedicated to traffic and transportation planning, so I reference that.

317
00:52:14.220 --> 00:52:22.710
Noelle Wolfson: You know, a big concept in the comprehensive plan is this notion of complete streets, which is essentially making the streets in the Community.

318
00:52:23.760 --> 00:52:32.160
Noelle Wolfson: friendly and accessible to people in motor vehicles, pedestrians bicyclists you know and a whole variety of people using the streets.

319
00:52:33.780 --> 00:52:38.910
Noelle Wolfson: another kind of important aspect to consider here is our overriding policy objectives.

320
00:52:39.240 --> 00:52:56.940
Noelle Wolfson: That is that the comprehensive plan really proposes the maintenance of the historical patterns of population development and growth in the village, you know generally commercial single family, excuse me generally single family residential at that kind of scale and density.

321
00:52:58.020 --> 00:53:17.070
Noelle Wolfson: And so we're not making major changes to density proposing major changes to density and zoning districts, or to commercial areas and so therefore not expecting the related traffic increase that might go if we were you know significantly changing density projections or commercial uses.

322
00:53:19.680 --> 00:53:21.510
Do you have any questions about the.

323
00:53:22.740 --> 00:53:24.780
The impact on traffic and transportation.

324
00:53:26.610 --> 00:53:41.490
Noelle Wolfson: Okay, and the next is the impact on energy, the question in the part two, is the proposed action may cause an increase in the use of any form of energy and, of course, since this is the adapter the comprehensive plan and won't really have any.

325
00:53:42.660 --> 00:53:54.990
Noelle Wolfson: Physical manifestation the adaption of the comprehensive plan won't do that, although in Chapter 13 the climate planning and resilience section, we do have a lot of discussion of a multi faceted approach to.

326
00:53:55.410 --> 00:54:09.930
Noelle Wolfson: reducing energy consumption in the village and moving towards more renewable renewable energy it, you know consider as adaption of a of a more aggressive energy Code, the Community choice aggregation Program.

327
00:54:11.820 --> 00:54:23.490
Noelle Wolfson: Individual solar opportunities, you know sort of like the chicken application solar solar applications are one of the most common type of applications at the ARV here is there's a lot of you know a lot of applications and interest for solar in the village.

328
00:54:23.790 --> 00:54:31.050
Noelle Wolfson: And the comprehensive plan kind of continues to encourage that and encourage energy efficient uses and enforcement, so that is in.

329
00:54:31.710 --> 00:54:44.280
Noelle Wolfson: The discussion of single individual solar is in section 10 and the discussion more detailed of the energy conservation measures and energy efficiency measures orange 1311.

330
00:54:46.440 --> 00:54:50.550
Noelle Wolfson: Do you have any questions or any discussion on on that topic.

331
00:54:52.170 --> 00:55:00.390
Noelle Wolfson: Okay, so the next one is impact on noise order and light the proposed action may result in an increase of noise order outdoor lighting.

332
00:55:02.820 --> 00:55:07.140
So you know the adoption, this actually will not will not cause any of those things directly.

333
00:55:09.630 --> 00:55:18.600
Noelle Wolfson: Again, we are maintaining the patterns of population, distribution and growth in our land use patterns so that's not expected to change materially.

334
00:55:20.100 --> 00:55:32.490
Noelle Wolfson: I note in here that we are already considering the noise now sound ordinance seeking to regulate unnecessary noise and air quality impacts, because the comprehensive plan specifically calls out the engine powered.

335
00:55:34.470 --> 00:55:40.470
Noelle Wolfson: lawn care equipment, I know there's another typo in this section, which I will correct in in.

336
00:55:41.490 --> 00:55:53.820
Noelle Wolfson: In the revision so section 12 the quality of life, Section addresses these points and encourages the village should be mindful of these issues in his policies in the future.

337
00:55:55.920 --> 00:55:58.800
Noelle Wolfson: Is there anything you'd like to discuss on on that point.

338
00:56:00.060 --> 00:56:01.380
No okay.

339
00:56:02.550 --> 00:56:12.270
Noelle Wolfson: um Okay, the next one is the impact on human health, the proposed action may have an impact on human health from exposure to new or existing sources of contaminants.

340
00:56:13.530 --> 00:56:22.380
Noelle Wolfson: So thick that can see adaption of the comprehensive plan will not cause these these issues, and you know, again we just have a general discussion of.

341
00:56:23.130 --> 00:56:35.130
Noelle Wolfson: The overriding policies of the comprehensive plan to become more protective of the environment, particularly air and water quality and the next one is consistency with a Community plan.

342
00:56:36.240 --> 00:56:48.900
Noelle Wolfson: And so we're here, I just wanted to again highlight something that we have in the beginning of the of the part three, is that this is the adoption of the Community plan.

343
00:56:49.800 --> 00:56:59.940
Noelle Wolfson: And so in the future, whenever we have a Type one action, we will be reviewing this item 17 for consistency and compliance with, with the plan that we are in the process of reviewing.

344
00:57:00.630 --> 00:57:09.180
Noelle Wolfson: With a goal of adapting um so you know, of course, this will be consistent with the plan, because what we're reviewing is the plan and all future actions will have to.

345
00:57:13.110 --> 00:57:13.830
Karen Tarapata: circular.

346
00:57:15.030 --> 00:57:15.750
Laurie Dodge: circular.

347
00:57:17.040 --> 00:57:19.410
Noelle Wolfson: um the next one, is very similar.

348
00:57:19.410 --> 00:57:21.690
Laurie Dodge: Consistency in character here.

349
00:57:25.590 --> 00:57:35.010
Noelle Wolfson: And you know as we've discussed with with many of the other chapters again we're not proposing a monumental shift in the patterns of population development and growth in the village.

350
00:57:36.360 --> 00:57:50.550
Noelle Wolfson: or in changes in Community character, or what the goal of this comprehensive plan is is to preserve the Community as a small town village walkable village community of mostly single family homes with long established commercial districts.

351
00:57:52.230 --> 00:57:53.550
Noelle Wolfson: And, and so.

352
00:57:54.570 --> 00:57:59.670
Noelle Wolfson: We have that discussion in the consistency with Community character section um.

353
00:58:00.720 --> 00:58:04.200
Noelle Wolfson: And that brings us to the end of the part two.

354
00:58:05.370 --> 00:58:12.990
Noelle Wolfson: So those are all the criteria that we are to evaluate me form and because, for all the reasons that we've discussed.

355
00:58:14.190 --> 00:58:17.160
And the overriding policy of the comprehensive plan.

356
00:58:19.590 --> 00:58:33.150
If you're comfortable doing something, it would be appropriate to adopt it a negative declaration of environmental significance for the adoption of the comprehensive plan for the reasons stated in the part two, and in the detailed part three elaboration and the comprehensive plan itself.

357
00:58:35.460 --> 00:58:37.980
Karen Tarapata: does not take the form of a resolution does it.

358
00:58:38.790 --> 00:58:49.170
Noelle Wolfson: Well i'm I eventually will we will adapt the resolution to to adapt the negative declaration of environmental significance.

359
00:58:49.350 --> 00:58:51.150
Karen Tarapata: For the reason i've been in.

360
00:58:51.180 --> 00:59:05.790
Noelle Wolfson: E, F Parts one, two and three so we'll kind of formally adapt what we've just gone through, but what I really want to do tonight, was to review it in detail, make sure we have a discussion you've had a chance to to review everything and ask any questions or.

361
00:59:06.900 --> 00:59:15.720
Noelle Wolfson: or or anything so that you feel comfortable adopting this because it is very detailed you know the type one analysis under secrets much is very detailed yes.

362
00:59:16.530 --> 00:59:18.240
Karen Tarapata: Well, thank you, this is good, no well.

363
00:59:18.510 --> 00:59:32.550
Karen Tarapata: yeah any any more questions about this, but the yeah I was thinking now, we do have an executive session I don't think do we have any other participants on the call tonight.

364
00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:37.170
Laurie Dodge: Someone check that, for me, you have seven.

365
00:59:38.160 --> 00:59:39.240
Karen Tarapata: Right that's just us.

366
00:59:39.510 --> 00:59:48.180
Karen Tarapata: US Okay, so we do have an executive session I was thinking that if we wanted someone wanted to make a resolution to go into executive session.

367
00:59:48.600 --> 01:00:01.830
Karen Tarapata: I can ask heather to turn off the recording then when we come back, we can let Noel go and we can do our other business tonight so she doesn't have to sit through all the discussions and fun one then.

368
01:00:02.190 --> 01:00:03.960
Laurie Dodge: truck traffic conversations.

369
01:00:04.110 --> 01:00:05.520
Karen Tarapata: rapper I can all that.

370
01:00:07.290 --> 01:00:11.070
sylviajeff: Well, you have that we go into executive session at this time.

371
01:00:11.760 --> 01:00:16.380
Noelle Wolfson: yeah I just had discussed pending legal matters, we should we have to say, generally, what we're going to.

372
01:00:16.680 --> 01:00:17.340
sylviajeff: Go to to.

373
01:00:18.990 --> 01:00:24.300
sylviajeff: move the week go into a sensitive session to discuss any legal matters.

374
01:00:25.950 --> 01:00:26.760
Kennon Rothchild: This is can.

375
01:00:27.180 --> 01:00:30.930

Karen Tarapata: next thing on here is the friends of river hook event laurie would you just give us a little description of what this event is and who we are expecting.

406
01:02:55.800 --> 01:03:01.110
Laurie Dodge: yeah this is, this is the event that you were invited to that was supposed to be.

407
01:03:02.310 --> 01:03:03.150
Laurie Dodge: What was today.

408
01:03:03.180 --> 01:03:12.060
Laurie Dodge: Tuesday the eight yeah but it got it didn't get rained out but we we postpone it, because we thought it's gonna rain.

409
01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:14.370
Laurie Dodge: anyway.

410
01:03:14.730 --> 01:03:15.630
Kennon Rothchild: So if you.

411
01:03:15.900 --> 01:03:18.240
Kennon Rothchild: You didn't postpone it, because it was my anniversary.

412
01:03:18.600 --> 01:03:19.320
Laurie Dodge: I don't know.

413
01:03:19.590 --> 01:03:26.940
Laurie Dodge: We didn't know that it was it was strictly because of the weather, which ended up being lovely until about 330 for that we're not lovely I mean it.

414
01:03:26.940 --> 01:03:28.170
Laurie Dodge: Was it was hot.

415
01:03:30.090 --> 01:03:53.520
Laurie Dodge: It was numb so we what we realized is that if all the people showed up who said they wanted to show up, we would have been over the number that we technically are allowed to have on site without the board approving the event, and so we are coming to the board this evening.

416
01:03:54.690 --> 01:04:07.470
Laurie Dodge: We think we may get 25 or more people and so we're asking the board to allow us to have this event on the 25th which again just to remind everyone is.

417
01:04:08.730 --> 01:04:19.140
Laurie Dodge: We invited top rockland county civic leaders, including leaders of not for profits and then we have some county officials.

418
01:04:21.720 --> 01:04:31.530
Laurie Dodge: yeah and a mix of others, but essentially that's who the people are who are going to be there and we have a small program about a two hour program talking about.

419
01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:46.230
Laurie Dodge: The preserve and those people who are sort of instrumental in helping us to develop programming for the preserve so far, so we just we want would like the board to approve this event in the event that we have more than 25 people.

420
01:04:47.310 --> 01:04:48.960
Karen Tarapata: And what's the date and time.

421
01:04:49.740 --> 01:04:52.620
Laurie Dodge: it's June 25 and it's from 11 to one.

422
01:04:54.480 --> 01:05:08.970
Karen Tarapata: But yeah with the with the board members of the Friends of river hook if they have two dozen guests, and you have the board members, it became more than than 25 So what do we think would be the top number would be like 35.

423
01:05:09.360 --> 01:05:14.580
Laurie Dodge: I would say 35 and I think that would be high honestly unless everyone brought a friend.

424
01:05:15.060 --> 01:05:15.870
Karen Tarapata: Oh yeah, but I just.

425
01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:20.160
Laurie Dodge: didn't get no but yeah I mean 35 I think would be a good number but.

426
01:05:21.660 --> 01:05:22.950
michael esmay: Capital 35.

427
01:05:24.540 --> 01:05:28.680
Karen Tarapata: i'm wondering, should we CAP it, or should we ban that's what i'm saying we have to put it in the resolution, what the.

428
01:05:28.680 --> 01:05:33.240
Laurie Dodge: Capital I think put 35 I don't think we're gonna have more than that, I just don't.

429
01:05:33.990 --> 01:05:34.860
Karen Tarapata: know I just say.

430
01:05:36.120 --> 01:05:36.660
Karen Tarapata: Something.

431
01:05:37.050 --> 01:05:51.630
Kennon Rothchild: But it sounds, if I may lori it sounds like you already had over 25 and, obviously, maybe some of those people won't be able to come on this new date but maybe you'll have more people come like say me.

432
01:05:52.710 --> 01:05:56.310
Kennon Rothchild: And maybe you know so it's you know I I wouldn't.

433
01:05:57.690 --> 01:06:07.830
Kennon Rothchild: Listen, we it's a big open space, you can put a pretty big cap on it and that way you don't run the chance to say to people at the gate i'm sorry we.

434
01:06:07.890 --> 01:06:08.880
Laurie Dodge: we've hit 35.

435
01:06:09.390 --> 01:06:10.470
Laurie Dodge: To you later that's true.

436
01:06:11.340 --> 01:06:11.520
I.

437
01:06:12.720 --> 01:06:15.240
sylviajeff: know we don't have to reboot a revisit it so.

438
01:06:15.300 --> 01:06:16.230
Laurie Dodge: yeah yeah.

439
01:06:18.030 --> 01:06:18.180
Laurie Dodge: yeah.

440
01:06:19.800 --> 01:06:20.010
Kennon Rothchild: yeah.

441
01:06:21.300 --> 01:06:32.460
Karen Tarapata: Two hours and I thought it was really important that we have this resolution because we purposefully limited the number of people, so that there wouldn't be a big spontaneous.

442
01:06:32.460 --> 01:06:43.890
Karen Tarapata: Groups going through without us knowing when and how many so if it's if it's good for if it's if it is in our law so i'm really happy that.

443
01:06:44.400 --> 01:07:02.220
Karen Tarapata: We didn't think there were going to be that many and then, as the guests this get higher and higher i'm actually glad that the event was postponed, and we can do this with the right resolution, so I would say, with somebody make a resolution of approval for the friends of river hook event.

444
01:07:03.510 --> 01:07:04.980
Karen Tarapata: For up to 40 people.

445
01:07:05.400 --> 01:07:06.390
sylviajeff: 50 people.

446
01:07:09.210 --> 01:07:09.900
50 people.

447
01:07:13.590 --> 01:07:20.220
Kennon Rothchild: That we approve the friends of river hook event for June 25 from 11am to 1pm.

448
01:07:21.300 --> 01:07:25.860
Kennon Rothchild: With an allowance for a capacity crowd of no more than 50 people.

449
01:07:27.360 --> 01:07:30.210
sylviajeff: i'll be happy to second that Thank you Jeff.

450
01:07:30.930 --> 01:07:32.130
Karen Tarapata: On favor say Aye.

451
01:07:33.720 --> 01:07:33.990
Kennon Rothchild: Aye.

452
01:07:34.740 --> 01:07:36.990
Laurie Dodge: Jeff I lori I.

453
01:07:38.130 --> 01:07:38.370
michael esmay: Like.

454
01:07:39.390 --> 01:07:48.210
Karen Tarapata: Karen I that's great and coming up in the future we've talked the friends of river hook have talked about.

455
01:07:48.690 --> 01:07:57.990
Karen Tarapata: Some signage on the property that might explain what the buildings were used for and what they might be envisioned for the future.

456
01:07:58.680 --> 01:08:06.780
Karen Tarapata: Before the laws are produced, I believe that the trustees should see the images and approve of them because.

457
01:08:07.260 --> 01:08:17.790
Karen Tarapata: You know, once signage is up people will assume that the village is totally behind whatever is there it's it's you know the distinction between.

458
01:08:18.660 --> 01:08:30.000
Karen Tarapata: The friends of ever hooked at the village are sometimes hard to discern so when we move ahead with any plans for signage I think the Board will have a role to play in that.

459
01:08:31.380 --> 01:08:35.970
Karen Tarapata: there's also a discussion just real quick before we go on to the truck traffic.

460
01:08:37.320 --> 01:08:41.220
Karen Tarapata: question of maybe having a.

461
01:08:42.240 --> 01:08:50.370
Karen Tarapata: The sheep logo stencilled on one of the or on one of the Turks on the hillside.

462
01:08:51.240 --> 01:09:02.760
Karen Tarapata: And I think it's a could be a lot of fun, I think it would be something that I want to have the word look at, because I think the initial proposal is too large and too much like a billboard.

463
01:09:03.570 --> 01:09:17.370
Karen Tarapata: So I think what we'll do is we'll send around the sketches of this and we can decide at our next meeting what y'all think of it, and if it would be a fun thing to just sort of have a.

464
01:09:18.960 --> 01:09:19.560
Karen Tarapata: A sheep.

465
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:30.330
Karen Tarapata: On one of our black tarps, so I think the size is something that the board really needs to discuss and determine so that'll be on our our next week's agenda.

466
01:09:30.870 --> 01:09:32.430
sylviajeff: Sure, I mean sure.

467
01:09:39.150 --> 01:09:41.820
Karen Tarapata: Oh hundred pounds in the House.

468
01:09:41.940 --> 01:09:43.140
are getting punchy.

469
01:09:44.280 --> 01:09:46.020
Kennon Rothchild: Exactly here we go.

470
01:09:47.640 --> 01:09:52.500
Karen Tarapata: Okay, great nothing no commercial truck traffic lori talk to officer David.

471
01:09:52.590 --> 01:10:03.180
Laurie Dodge: I have indeed and we shared a couple of emails so here's the plan because nine w is administered by the State Department of Transportation.

472
01:10:03.720 --> 01:10:17.940
Laurie Dodge: So niles we had a conversation a couple of days ago, it seems as though the you know aren't are signed it only really affects people who have already turned there's no notification on nine w so.

473
01:10:18.390 --> 01:10:25.110
Laurie Dodge: What we talked about he's taken a bunch of pictures which he wants to send to the head of the Department of Transportation.

474
01:10:25.650 --> 01:10:40.920
Laurie Dodge: And the idea that we're going to propose is that northbound and southbound hanging from the lights on the wires and stationary Poles in the ground that there is language about know truck that.

475
01:10:41.250 --> 01:10:47.910
Laurie Dodge: You know, nine w's the truck route and no truck traffic down Christian, Harold.

476
01:10:48.510 --> 01:10:57.000
Laurie Dodge: I didn't we didn't come up with language, because I have a feeling honestly since it's a State road the state has language and has signs but.

477
01:10:57.360 --> 01:11:03.000
Laurie Dodge: We originally he was just talking about stationary signs on the road, and I said, well, maybe you know.

478
01:11:03.540 --> 01:11:10.800
Laurie Dodge: Because they have hanging signs and maybe people will pay more attention so we're going to see how much we can get the State to do.

479
01:11:11.220 --> 01:11:23.190
Laurie Dodge: And it's going to come from clark's town PD but he wanted our he just wanted us to know and not and be on board, you know I mean I don't think we have to sign the letter but it's just you know i'm really.

480
01:11:23.280 --> 01:11:31.800
Karen Tarapata: I really hope to the representative of the do T he said well you're just going to have to reconfigure that intersection at.

481
01:11:32.820 --> 01:11:34.710
Karen Tarapata: North broadway and old mountain road.

482
01:11:36.210 --> 01:11:51.810
Karen Tarapata: And I thought, what So hopefully that comes from the PD it'll be better, I think, great conversation it really has to be well and it just has to say local deliveries only because that's the case.

483
01:11:52.260 --> 01:12:01.380
Karen Tarapata: yeah those were our last dates or village ordinance says nine w is the commercial route and local deliveries only in the village.

484
01:12:01.650 --> 01:12:04.260
Laurie Dodge: yeah it's very interesting when I just.

485
01:12:04.320 --> 01:12:14.880
Laurie Dodge: As a as an aside, I came off the bridge yesterday I got off and self nyack I then got on to nine w when the new configuration, I made a right.

486
01:12:16.530 --> 01:12:26.100
Laurie Dodge: onto the overpass and then got stuck with the light at Franklin street and is that Clinton Clinton, or whatever this this three that's right there.

487
01:12:26.550 --> 01:12:38.160
Laurie Dodge: and, interestingly, so they had a big signboard and their signboard said no truck traffic for Franklin street that the truck route was South broadway.

488
01:12:38.940 --> 01:12:39.420
sylviajeff: well.

489
01:12:40.260 --> 01:12:52.350
Laurie Dodge: I mean like what planet is anybody on, there is no truck traffic, so I just it's like put the sign on nine w so that people don't so that the truck drivers don't even get to where you don't want them.

490
01:12:52.380 --> 01:12:53.070
Laurie Dodge: To being.

491
01:12:53.730 --> 01:13:03.630
Karen Tarapata: Perhaps isn't as instead officer Davies, to talk to the south nyack for Andrew police and maybe we reach out to.

492
01:13:05.190 --> 01:13:07.110
Karen Tarapata: You could write a letter to bonnie Christian.

493
01:13:07.440 --> 01:13:08.490
Laurie Dodge: yeah I think.

494
01:13:09.750 --> 01:13:19.500
Laurie Dodge: yeah I think night to I asked him if he would talk to orange town i'll reiterate that I didn't I didn't ask them to talk to the south night police department, because I didn't.

495
01:13:19.500 --> 01:13:19.770
know.

496
01:13:23.280 --> 01:13:32.610
Laurie Dodge: um but i'll ask them to do that because I think it's definitely both ways I mean for me, I see it, mostly from the north coming South because I don't.

497
01:13:33.210 --> 01:13:49.860
Laurie Dodge: You know they're coming down birch wood and then I headed, I mean that's when I mostly when I hear them, I mean as they're going coming I can't hear them coming down old mountain, obviously I hear them as they're going past the House, but you know they're obviously headed south.

498
01:13:50.340 --> 01:13:51.480
Karen Tarapata: That was just going to ask that.

499
01:13:51.570 --> 01:13:56.820
sylviajeff: Because i'm under the impression that, like a good 90% of it seems to be north to south.

500
01:13:57.180 --> 01:13:57.600
sylviajeff: I think.

501
01:13:58.680 --> 01:14:09.510
sylviajeff: That that's the signage on nine w should be reflected and as you're coming over the mountain, no, no left turns you know going through the next form.

502
01:14:10.830 --> 01:14:11.430
Karen Tarapata: It has to be.

503
01:14:12.150 --> 01:14:12.780
delivery.

504
01:14:13.890 --> 01:14:16.320
Karen Tarapata: Welcome to every form we have maximum length.

505
01:14:16.920 --> 01:14:23.100
Laurie Dodge: yeah we can honestly, I have to say in my whole existence here in my adult existence.

506
01:14:23.850 --> 01:14:35.370
Laurie Dodge: The only time i've ever seen tractor trailers here is truly when there was some big like municipal or construction project which is virtually never.

507
01:14:35.730 --> 01:14:42.750
Laurie Dodge: And every once in a while there's a really large truck on the corner across from Terry yellows I don't you know I don't.

508
01:14:42.990 --> 01:14:54.300
Laurie Dodge: know why I guess they're just delivering extra mozzarella that day I don't know but there there's that but I mean the there's none of these people are local they're just all.

509
01:14:55.710 --> 01:15:00.630
Karen Tarapata: ran in my sometimes they get very long deliveries down.

510
01:15:01.170 --> 01:15:02.760
Laurie Dodge: lower half like about your.

511
01:15:03.450 --> 01:15:07.740
Kennon Rothchild: yeah I mean they do, but it's not.

512
01:15:08.850 --> 01:15:12.660
Kennon Rothchild: You know the, the problem is greater than just that I mean you know.

513
01:15:12.720 --> 01:15:14.610
Karen Tarapata: My local delivery to.

514
01:15:15.090 --> 01:15:16.260

Laurie Dodge: I mean yeah I.

516
01:15:17.490 --> 01:15:19.260
Kennon Rothchild: You know they're.

517
01:15:21.210 --> 01:15:25.200
Kennon Rothchild: I mean they get it, yes, but it has it's not like it's all the time, so.

518
01:15:26.700 --> 01:15:32.010
Karen Tarapata: It doesn't look guys we're going through with a 53 foot King cab.

519
01:15:33.270 --> 01:15:53.640
Karen Tarapata: You know it's crazy how big that truck was the hits real oh and good news we officer David was able to track down the insurance information on the truck that hit the guide rail and got caught on the rock and it is progressive and they are going to pay.

520
01:15:54.060 --> 01:15:54.870
Laurie Dodge: Oh that's Nice.

521
01:15:55.320 --> 01:15:56.460
Karen Tarapata: So we're just waiting.

522
01:15:56.460 --> 01:16:00.030
Karen Tarapata: For I sent them the pictures today, they just said, do you have pictures and i'm like.

523
01:16:01.350 --> 01:16:13.320
Karen Tarapata: So we sent them the pictures and now we're just waiting for the next you know this their sign off, so that we can order the materials from the fence company for the repair yeah.

524
01:16:13.410 --> 01:16:15.900
michael esmay: Did you tell him to not send any more trucks.

525
01:16:21.270 --> 01:16:22.620
Karen Tarapata: I thought the fact that.

526
01:16:24.720 --> 01:16:37.380
Karen Tarapata: got a couple of tickets and the shipping company has got a huge got this huge bill, and this is going to be like a $10,000 plus repair, plus the damage that was done to their truck.

527
01:16:38.820 --> 01:16:45.630
Karen Tarapata: yeah I think they're not going to be sending anybody down that road anymore, the guy was from Fort worth he didn't know where he was so good.

528
01:16:47.040 --> 01:17:00.000
Laurie Dodge: yeah you can tell you can you can really tell by either their extraordinary confidence because they just don't you know they're like on some high and they don't stop at all.

529
01:17:00.390 --> 01:17:09.720
Laurie Dodge: at lower birchwood and again, you can see that nobody's coming but I mean you know it's an 18 wheeler barreling down birchwood which just seems ridiculous.

530
01:17:10.080 --> 01:17:25.200
Laurie Dodge: or they make the turn and they're there they look like they're 100 but because they know they're looking around like this there's something that doesn't belong oh it's me in a very residential area, let me get out.

531
01:17:25.290 --> 01:17:26.220
sylviajeff: In schools have.

532
01:17:26.400 --> 01:17:27.360
sylviajeff: To go birth.

533
01:17:28.740 --> 01:17:43.170
Laurie Dodge: Right it's just different reactions or if it wasn't happening right here, it would be kind of comical it's just that right, it just happens a lot and it's just it's Thank you Google or ways, or whoever they're using.

534
01:17:44.400 --> 01:17:50.610
Karen Tarapata: Well, I think I think you're focused on the nine w intersection really smart and let's hope that.

535
01:17:51.660 --> 01:17:55.020
Karen Tarapata: The Clarks found police department can help get to do it on board.

536
01:17:55.800 --> 01:18:04.770
Laurie Dodge: And I will ask him about South night because I just I had that experience yesterday so maybe if at that intersection they can put the same type of signs.

537
01:18:05.190 --> 01:18:17.760
Laurie Dodge: Then we're kind of I don't think there's any place else in there not turning down Main Street, and you can't physically do that I don't think there any other streets that they could really turn down easily so maybe that would.

538
01:18:19.410 --> 01:18:19.650
Laurie Dodge: Just.

539
01:18:19.920 --> 01:18:20.940
Laurie Dodge: use that number.

540
01:18:21.300 --> 01:18:25.140
Karen Tarapata: To keep them on nine debbie that's where that's the state road.

541
01:18:25.800 --> 01:18:26.160
yeah.

542
01:18:27.240 --> 01:18:39.720
Laurie Dodge: yeah and there are a lot more trucks, even on nine w I mean I commuted for 10 years and there were some, but not a lot now every time on my nine w there's a conga line of trucks so there's just some dynamic.

543
01:18:39.780 --> 01:18:41.490
Karen Tarapata: it's definitely trying to avoid the.

544
01:18:41.670 --> 01:18:42.570
Laurie Dodge: they're trying to move it.

545
01:18:43.860 --> 01:18:46.350
Laurie Dodge: Along right right.

546
01:18:47.400 --> 01:18:49.200
Karen Tarapata: I need an upper nyack tone.

547
01:18:49.380 --> 01:18:49.680
Laurie Dodge: yeah.

548
01:18:50.040 --> 01:18:50.730
hey we could make.

549
01:18:55.170 --> 01:18:58.680
Laurie Dodge: To offset our problem, yes, sir.

550
01:19:00.780 --> 01:19:07.080
Karen Tarapata: Thank you, everybody I know this went really long, but I thought there was a lot of really important stuff to talk about tonight.

551
01:19:08.220 --> 01:19:19.320
Karen Tarapata: yep and then oh last thing is yeah i'm working on the Mailer to go out for the sound ordinance and waiting to get just a draft back from.

552
01:19:20.040 --> 01:19:28.290
Karen Tarapata: harrington I just rough something out, so I figure it's always easier to edit them to create so as soon as he gives me something I will pass it around.

553
01:19:28.980 --> 01:19:34.920
Karen Tarapata: And it will be ultimately sent to every President and to every registered contractor in rockland.

554
01:19:35.670 --> 01:19:48.930
Karen Tarapata: And it's interesting that, when I went to the landscape associations website and looked at their Member list there were at least a dozen Members that are not rigid on the rough and county register.

555
01:19:49.980 --> 01:19:50.160
Karen Tarapata: track.

556
01:19:50.370 --> 01:19:57.570
Karen Tarapata: me, there are no different company name but but I made sure that they were added into the spreadsheet from which will generate the labels.

557
01:19:58.050 --> 01:20:07.740
Karen Tarapata: So we're going to really try and reach out to everybody will be affected by the noise line at least get them to come and look at it on the website, hopefully yeah.

558
01:20:08.970 --> 01:20:12.420
Karen Tarapata: So that's you'll be seeing that next couple days to.

559
01:20:14.700 --> 01:20:17.310
Karen Tarapata: All right, anything else you want to talk about tonight.
