1 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, this is a regular
2 meeting of the City of Yonkers Planning Board pursuant
3 to Governor Cuomo's Executive Order 202.1. The City
4 of Yonkers Planning Board is conducting the Wednesday
5 May 13, 2020, meeting, it is now 5:40 p.m., as a
6 distance/virtual meeting.
7 There will be no in-person attendance at
8 this meeting.
9 This meeting may be televised and/or on
10 virtual meeting platforms. For information on how to
11 attend the meeting, check in at www.yonkersny.gov.
12 Please note: Any matter requiring a public
13 hearing will be heard after 7:00 p.m.., I don't
14 believe we have any of those types of items, and that
15 items may be taken out of order in order to
16 accommodate public comment or as the Board may deem
17 necessary.
18 We're going to move to Item number 1, which
19 is the minutes of the regular Planning Board meeting
20 held on April 15th. But before we get to that,
21 actually, Lee, did we pass the March 11th minutes at
22 the meeting, do you know?
23 MR. ELLMAN: I don't believe that we did, we
24 had an issue with everyone getting them.
25 MS. FORSBERG: We didn't do it.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 4
1 THE CHAIRMAN: Then let's hold off on that
2 and we'll do Item 1(A), which are the minutes of the
3 regular Planning Board meeting of March 11th, 2020.
4 We did get them all in our packages, any questions or
5 comments, anybody?
6 MR. ELLMAN: That meeting moved, just for
7 the record, that meeting moved, as you recall, to --
8 I'm sorry, I'm thinking of the April.
9 Go ahead, excuse me.
10 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, just one addition, I
11 believe that Christine was present at that meeting, it
12 doesn't indicate that she was present, if we can make
13 that one correction. And with that correction, do we
14 have a motion to approve the minutes of the March 11th
15 meeting?
16 MS. LANDI: I have a motion.
17 THE CHAIRMAN: Adelia makes the motion to
18 accept. Seconded by --
19 MR. JOHNSON: Second.
20 THE CHAIRMAN: -- Gene.
21 All in favor, please indicate by saying aye.
22 (A chorus of ayes.)
23 THE CHAIRMAN: Oppose, nay. That passes
24 unanimously.
25 And we'll move to the minutes of the
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 5
1 April 15th meeting. Once again, you all were provided
2 this in your package. I will make that same change,
3 or correction, that Christine was actually present at
4 that meeting. With that one correction, any other
5 corrections or comments?
6 MS. LANDI: No.
7 THE CHAIRMAN: I'll entertain a motion to
8 accept. First, who's the opponent? Resolution?
9 MS. FORSBERG: Resolution.
10 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, Mackenzie. Seconded
11 by --
12 MR. LARKIN: John Larkin.
13 THE CHAIRMAN: All in favor, please indicate
14 by saying aye.
15 (A chorus of ayes.)
16 THE CHAIRMAN: Oppose, nay. That passes
17 unanimously, as well.
18 All right, that takes care of Item 1 and the
19 new 1(A).
20 Item 2 has been held over. This is the site
21 plan review for the property at 70 Salisbury Road.
22 There will be no action or presentation on that item
23 this evening.
24 The same is true of Item number 3, which is
25 a site plan review for 555 Tuckahoe Road, the UPS, is
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 6
1 being held over at the applicant's request. There
2 will be no action and no decision on that this
3 evening.
4 Moving to Item number 4, which is a site
5 plan review for a self-storage building with --
6 Actually, George, if you could unmute --
7 MR. ELLMAN: Mr. Abillama.
8 THE CHAIRMAN: -- Mr. Abillama. Are there
9 any other people presenting with Mr. Abillama?
10 MR. ABILLAMA: I'm not so sure if Mark is
11 on, but we're ready to go.
12 THE CHAIRMAN: This is Item 4, site plan
13 review for a self-storage building with ground floor
14 retail at Block 4385, Lots 1-8.1, 11, 12.15, 201 and
15 206 on the property known as 1969 Central Park Avenue
16 pursuant to Article IX of the Yonkers Zoning
17 Ordinance.
18 Tom Abillama is the representative for the
19 proposal.
20 Mr. Abillama.
21 MR. ABILLAMA: Good evening, Mr. Chairman,
22 thank you for taking this meeting.
23 This project is in regards to the self-
24 storage facility with the retail stores on the first
25 floor level. We've communicated with several
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 7
1 department members, namely Christopher DeSantis from
2 the Fire Department, and we've communicated with Mr.
3 Lee Ellman in regards to the changes that we were
4 planning on doing. And we accomplished those, except
5 that we haven't gotten any response from either one of
6 them.
7 So, be as it may, we can wait until the next
8 meeting to see if we have any resolution at the time,
9 or if you have any questions at the moment, please let
10 us know.
11 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Abillama.
12 Yes, that's my understanding, that we're
13 waiting for responses from Fire and Traffic, but while
14 we have you here, members of the Board, do we have
15 questions for Mr. Abillama?
16 If not, then we will then wait for those
17 responses from Fire and Traffic.
18 I'm sorry, did someone say something?
19 MR. LARKIN: Mr. Chairman, it's John Larkin.
20 Can you hear me?
21 THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, Mr. Larkin, please.
22 MR. LARKIN: I would just like to ask about
23 the timeline, I wasn't really sure. The last time
24 when we had them there, they were saying they had
25 another six to eight, maybe ten, months of chipping.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 8
1 Is that the case, and when do you expect this all to
2 be actually finished totally?
3 MR. ABILLAMA: Well, as you may know, the
4 work has, we are not permitted to do any work at the
5 site.
6 MR. LARKIN: Right, I know, but this was
7 going back to when there wasn't really any stop on
8 work, construction. You had said at that point there
9 could be another possibly eight to ten months of rock
10 chipping.
11 MR. ABILLAMA: It remains the same because
12 nothing has changed. Hopefully, with the Order of the
13 Governor, we will be allowed to go back on.
14 MR. LARKIN: All right, because, you know,
15 this has been going on probably a good, what, almost
16 two years at this point, the rock chipping?
17 MR. ABILLAMA: Yes.
18 MR. LARKIN: I'm just thinking the poor
19 resident neighbors above you that have had to endure
20 this rock crushing. And, you know, the Planning Board
21 and Planning Bureau has gotten a recommendation,
22 that's over two years ago, asking for their
23 recommendations for the rock crushing ordinance. And
24 I guess I'm frustrated thinking this is another eight,
25 ten months these residents will have to endure this.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 9
1 MR. ABILLAMA: It won't be eight to ten
2 months. So, it's about probably six months from the
3 time we're going to go back to chip, maybe even less.
4 We're going to try to finish it as soon as possible.
5 MR. LARKIN: Okay. All right, I appreciate
6 the answer. Thank you.
7 MS. FORSBERG: I have a question.
8 THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, Ms. Forsberg, go ahead.
9 MS. FORSBERG: Have you submitted anything
10 to either the Department of Buildings or the Planning
11 Bureau about signage or the facade for the businesses,
12 assuming it hasn't been leased yet?
13 MR. ABILLAMA: Yes, we have submitted to the
14 Planning Department all the plans in regards to the
15 facade and the -- you said the drainage?
16 MS. FORSBERG: No, the facade or the
17 signage.
18 MR. ABILLAMA: Oh, the signage. Yes, in the
19 package they might have received.
20 MS. FORSBERG: Okay. Is it all going to
21 have signage for whoever it is in there and that's the
22 way it looks, or is the outside almost like a strip
23 without an awning or anything, or are some signs going
24 to be different from others per each commercial lease?
25 MR. ABILLAMA: Well, if you see this
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 10
1 rendering here, I'm going to try to blow up the
2 elevation, you could see a horizontal strip where the
3 signage will end up being.
4 MS. FORSBERG: Okay.
5 MR. ABILLAMA: Obviously, we have Starbucks
6 that's coming in to the left side of the building, and
7 we're working on that with them. Every sign will have
8 to be submitted independently. We have to follow
9 certain guidelines from the owner's point of view, as
10 well as the Building Department's point of view.
11 MS. FORSBERG: Okay.
12 MR. ABILLAMA: So, we're right now at this
13 stage, we have presented signage to be along this
14 horizontal.
15 MS. FORSBERG: Okay.
16 MR. ABILLAMA: And then we'll go on from
17 there.
18 MR. ELLMAN: Mackenzie, if I may.
19 MS. FORSBERG: Yes.
20 MR. ELLMAN: Typically, when we get a
21 rendering from an applicant, that is essentially a
22 placeholder when it comes to signs. Signage is an
23 interesting issue, as you know. On the one hand, you
24 don't want signage necessarily to come too large or
25 garish but, for it to be effective, very often it
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 11
1 makes good sense to allow each business its own
2 creativity. So, things like Mr. Abillama showed on
3 the rendering are, unless the Planning Board makes a
4 condition about it, it really needs to be a looked at
5 as a placeholder.
6 In all honesty, I would be happy if we end
7 up with a result that the signs meet the sign code,
8 which would be no taller than 4 feet and no more than
9 70 percent width storefront that they are showing.
10 There is also, as I recall, correct me, Mr.
11 Abillama, if I'm misstating this, there's also a front
12 plate of the sign that the Board does have some
13 authority over. Typically, the Board has taken signs
14 and placement issues, but not extensive. So, the
15 Board has not in the past said well, it really needs
16 to be black and white only. The Board has said we'd
17 like it not to be any taller than 25 feet. And based
18 on Traffic Engineering's suggestion, it ought to be
19 moved back 10 feet so it's not in the site area for
20 someone turning into or out of the shopping center.
21 MS. FORSBERG: Is there any landscaping
22 proposed with this, or is it all concrete?
23 MR. ABILLAMA: There is landscaping proposed
24 and we have -- Let me upload the site, the landscaping
25 plan.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 12
1 So, we're proposing to have landscaping in
2 the front along Heights Drive and all the way around,
3 and some trees where we can, where permissible, along
4 the way. So, we have that all shown.
5 THE CHAIRMAN: Any questions still,
6 Mackenzie, is that satisfactory for now?
7 MS. FORSBERG: Yes.
8 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Members of the Board,
9 any other questions for the applicant?
10 Staff?
11 MR. ELLMAN: No.
12 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, thank you.
13 Mr. Abillama, we'll see you at next month's
14 meeting.
15 MR. ABILLAMA: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
16 Take care.
17 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, I was reminded in the
18 meantime that Item number 5 actually does require a
19 public hearing, so we're going to come back to Item
20 number 5 at 7 o'clock.
21 We'll move now to Item number 6. Item
22 number 6, if we can unmute Mr. Romano
23 MR. ROMANO: I'm here. I can't do a video,
24 but I can hear you, Mr. Chairman.
25 THE CHAIRMAN: All right. Is there anyone
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 13
1 else on your presentation other than yourself?
2 MR. ROMANO: No, sir.
3 THE CHAIRMAN: All right. So, we're moving
4 to Item number 6, site plan review for the conversion
5 of the existing two-family with office to a
6 four-family dwelling with a parking lot at Block 2106,
7 Lot 1 on the property known as 1 Lamatine Terrace
8 pursuant to Article IX of the Yonkers Zoning
9 Ordinance.
10 Andrew Romano is representative for the
11 proposal.
12 Mr. Romano.
13 MR. ROMANO: Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman,
14 members of the Board, I represent RZA Enterprises, who
15 owns the property at the corner of Lamatine Terrace
16 and Lamatine Avenue since 2016. It's a two-family
17 house with a doctor's office and a two-car garage
18 located on the lot for approximately
19 120-feet-by-75-feet.
20 My client seeks to change the interior
21 alterations only to convert the premises into a four-
22 family dwelling. The four-family, the top floor would
23 remain as an existing one-bedroom. The second floor
24 will remain as an existing two-bedroom. The first
25 floor, where the doctor's office was, which has been a
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 14
1 long-time abandoned, will be three bedrooms. And,
2 then, where the garage was located would be proposed
3 to put a one-bedroom in there and eliminate the
4 garage.
5 In addition to that, we would also create a
6 seven-car parking lot, as well, which is reflected on
7 the plans. It will be six regular spots and one
8 handicap spot. And you would enter the premises on,
9 let's see, I believe Lamatine Avenue, and exit in the
10 same location.
11 As I said, there's no exterior alterations,
12 we're mainly really properly utilizing the site where
13 it is. I understand there has been a lighting plan
14 and an arborist plan submitted as well to the Board.
15 We're not reducing any greenery, except that we do
16 have the parking lot going in, which is being proper
17 in code. And everything else is proper, and it would
18 be in an M zone, which would be permitted use. In
19 looking at the neighborhood, of course, they're mostly
20 small apartment houses in the area.
21 So, with that being said, sir, I will take
22 your direction.
23 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Romano.
24 Members of the Board, questions for the
25 applicant? I know it's a little difficult because we
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 15
1 don't have plans in front of us as we would normally
2 have in a meeting.
3 MR. ROMANO: I'm sorry.
4 THE CHAIRMAN: Do you, I don't know,
5 obviously, you're not going to be able to do that in
6 your current call-in modem.
7 MR. ROMANO: Yes.
8 THE CHAIRMAN: But it would be helpful, I
9 don't think we're going to be able to, well, I'll ask,
10 members of the Board, do you have specifics questions
11 for Mr. Romano at this time?
12 MS. FORSBERG: No.
13 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, staff, Lee, questions?
14 MR. ELLMAN: Why isn't Mr. Romano and his
15 team ready when we've told him that this material
16 needs to be available?
17 UNIDENTIFIED INDIVIDUAL: We sent over, we
18 pdf-ed everything over.
19 MR. ELLMAN: I understand that. We also
20 told all the applicants that they needed to be ready
21 to present material and asked that everyone take the
22 opportunity to sign onto Webex themselves and practice
23 using the platform. This is the only way we're going
24 to be ready for meetings for the next couple of
25 months.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 16
1 MR. ROMANO: I apologize for that.
2 UNIDENTIFIED iNDIVIDUAL: If I may speak.
3 If you have the document on your laptop or on your
4 computer, you can share them with us right now, I can
5 do it before the next meeting.
6 MR. ROMANO: I'm sorry.
7 THE CHAIRMAN: No, that's perfect. Andy,
8 let's have it ready for next month's meeting but, in
9 the meantime, Lee, are we waiting for anything on
10 this?
11 MR. ELLMAN: No, I don't believe so.
12 THE CHAIRMAN: So, basically, we need to
13 have something in front of us so we can work off the
14 same plan. And, Mr. Romano, you will have that for us
15 for next month's meeting?
16 MR. ROMANO: I will have it for you next
17 week, yes, sir.
18 THE CHAIRMAN: And if you need any help with
19 that, George, you can help out with this, too?
20 MR. KUNTZ: Of course, no problem. If they
21 had it right now, we could do it.
22 THE CHAIRMAN: No, let's get it right
23 because I want to move on this evening.
24 Actually, George, while I do have you, I'm
25 getting feedback.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 17
1 MR. KUNTZ: Yeah, let me look, there's
2 probably some people -- Kberry, yeah, Kberry was
3 plugging the feedback, I'll get rid of it.
4 THE CHAIRMAN: Yeah, it was like an echo.
5 MR. KUNTZ: Better now?
6 THE CHAIRMAN: Yes.
7 If there are no other questions, Mr. Romano,
8 we'll see you at next month's meeting and we'll
9 figuratively and literally be on the same page at that
10 time.
11 MR. ROMANO: Okay, thank you. Have a good
12 evening and be safe.
13 THE CHAIRMAN: Take care.
14 Let's move on to Item number 7, which is a
15 referral from Yonkers City Council for a proposed
16 amendment to Chapter 43, Article XV, the Afforable
17 Housing, of the Yonkers Zoning Ordinance.
18 Lee, I know you presented this to us last
19 time. You got us the analysis in our packets, and we
20 do have a resolution, I believe ready, but if you
21 could just sort of briefly go over some of the points
22 again.
23 MR. ELLMAN: So, the City, after the long
24 desegregation suit with the Federal Government put in
25 place and an Affordable Housing Ordinance that was at
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 18
1 that time essentially mandated, that Ordinance
2 required, probably most importantly, that the City
3 produce 20 percent affordable housing for any multi-
4 family residential development, whether that
5 development was single, I'm sorry, whether that
6 development was a rental or for sale.
7 So, if one was building co-ops or condos,
8 which I might add have not really, we have not seen
9 new condos or cooperative buildings built in the
10 Westchester market probably for at least the last
11 10 years, those would require affordable sale units as
12 would residential units.
13 The proposal from the City Council is to
14 increase the number of affordable units in the large
15 inclusionary developments; in other words, those
16 developments over 99 units, from the current 10
17 percent to 20 percent, and among other changes to
18 change the distribution of affordability changing of
19 the units, change the distributions within -- I always
20 wanted to work with music.
21 THE CHAIRMAN: I'm taking that person's cell
22 phone and it's going to stay here with me until the
23 end of this meeting.
24 MS. FORSBERG: Until the end of class.
25 THE CHAIRMAN: That's it.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 19
1 MR. ELLMAN: I will tell Mr. Cianciulli on
2 my regular phone that I will send him the required
3 five cent royalty for using his line.
4 THE CHAIRMAN: I'm sorry, go ahead.
5 MR. ELLMAN: So, there are changes within
6 the distribution of the affordable units, as well.
7 The concern that I expressed to the Board that I think
8 is the most significant is that the Board has had what
9 I think is a very good very smooth experience with the
10 Affordable Housing Ordinance at the 10 percent level.
11 The Board has, over the housing boom of essentially
12 the last five or eight years, reviewed thousands of
13 units. There may have been discussions about parking
14 and sign issues, but I don't recall any discussions
15 whatsoever about any problems with providing
16 affordable housing at 10 percent.
17 I can also tell you that when we have the
18 staff meetings, when the developers are coming in and
19 looking to understand our process and our ordinances,
20 that has, likewise, never a problem before. The
21 results are that we have created several hundred units
22 of affordable housing either that have been built as a
23 part of reduction of buildings that have been approved
24 and built or are on the board's, for example, Extell
25 is up for a re-review. That 1300-unit development was
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 20
1 approved with the AHO provisions in place and will net
2 130 units under the ordinance.
3 So, my report and recommendation to the
4 Board was that we have a tool that we know works very
5 smoothly, that has been productive for the City, and
6 that is far more similar to other Affordable Housing
7 Ordinances in our market than our other programs this
8 year.
9 We have the difficulty always being next to
10 New York City, and what is a good idea for that is
11 very very difficult for a smaller city to -- New York
12 City housing market is the high end of the market, is
13 so many multiples higher than what is netted in
14 Yonkers, and there is the ability to seek more units.
15 And there are also other incentive programs that make
16 the higher percentage of affordable housing far more
17 doable than New York City.
18 That said, there are parts due to the
19 proposed amendment that I think are well thought out.
20 For example, there is the potential allowed for
21 developers to produce some of their affordable
22 housing, or in the alternative to place a portion of
23 funds into the Affordable Housing Trust Fund that
24 would be used by the City to sponsor affordable
25 housing in other locations.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 21
1 The way the ordinance is currently written,
2 there is a stated dollar amount for each size
3 apartment. I don't have the original ordinance in
4 front of me but, for example, I believe it was $90,000
5 set aside for a studio apartment. The problem with
6 that, of course, is that this ordinance was approved,
7 was put into law, 10 years ago, so that $90,000 buys a
8 lot less.
9 The proposed ordinance instead recommends
10 that if the developer wants to buy out units by
11 putting it in a trust fund, that they divide the
12 total number of units in the building by net cost and
13 put that fund in, or put that amount in.
14 What I like about that is it reflects better
15 than the cost of the development, it doesn't leave the
16 City guessing at what the right number is. It also
17 means the ordinance, at least that section, becomes
18 (Indaudible) a percentage will always be the
19 percentage of cost and the City doesn't have to go
20 back every year, could go back every year and hasn't,
21 and change it up.
22 So, the recommendation that the resolution
23 was suggesting along basically saying -- and also ask
24 the Council that if before they make any changes, that
25 they also bring in experts in the fields, not just
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 22
1 developers who may be looking to work in the area, the
2 Yonkers area, who are currently in the markets. And,
3 also, should be brought in if they're valuable of the
4 pool, but there are also academic other industry
5 experts; development, economists, housing experts,
6 that would be useful to the City Council to consult
7 before making a decision about going from the current
8 10 per cent to the proposed 20 per cent.
9 MR. LARKIN: Mr. Chairman.
10 THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, please go ahead.
11 MR. LARKIN: Lee, I remember that the last
12 Affordable Housing Ordinance was adjusted and passed
13 when I was on the Council. And there was an awful lot
14 of discussion. And you're right about the feeling at
15 that time on that Council with that they didn't want
16 to go further than the 10 per cent because that was
17 basically what was being done in other areas, upstate,
18 Westchester County, and so forth.
19 Comparing us to New York City is totally two
20 different animals. But I agree with you on a lot of
21 other points that you said, and I think it's a good
22 thing to look at, but I think part of the concern back
23 then was to get to the point where it was going to
24 cause a reduction in development because for a long
25 period of time, the Housing Ordinance wasn't really in
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 23
1 effect until the Council passed it. I can't even
2 remember, when the date was on that.
3 MR. ELLMAN: We had, I think it was about a
4 year or 18-month period between the sun setting of the
5 current ordered AHO and the creation of Council's AHO
6 that you're talking about, what the development
7 community called --
8 MR. LARKIN: Right. And I know we had a lot
9 of discussion, and I know you brought up the fact
10 bringing in different people with expertise, which I
11 think is probably a good idea. And, also, to ensure
12 that we're not competing at a disadvantage with other
13 areas in Westchester County, you know, that we're,
14 somehow we should be basically somewhat similar to
15 White Plains, New Rochelle, and so forth so that we're
16 not at a different level of competition with them.
17 Just my thoughts.
18 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, John. Lee,
19 actually, I thought your presentation on the proposed
20 resolution was spot on, and they addressed some of the
21 items that needed to be tweaked and made better, but I
22 don't believe that it was required to have a wholesale
23 change, so I think you did a great job on it.
24 Any other questions for Lee?
25 If not, then I'll entertain a resolution or,
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 24
1 a recommendation, on this matter.
2 MR. ELLMAN: Mackenzie has the material in
3 her hand.
4 THE CHAIRMAN: Mackenzie, please go ahead.
5 MS. FORSBERG: I just said that I agree, I'm
6 happy to read the resolution, as I think it's perfect.
7 THE CHAIRMAN: There you go.
8 MS. FORSBERG: Mr. Chairman, we have a
9 resolution to forward comments upon a referral from
10 the Yonkers City Council on a proposed amendment to
11 Chapter 43, Article XV, Affordable Housing Ordinance.
12 The Planning Board is tasked to advise the
13 City Council about the advisability and the impact of
14 proposed text amendments to the Yonkers Zoning
15 Ordinance. The City Council forwarded a proposed
16 amendment to Article XV, Affordable Housing, commonly
17 known as the Affordable Housing Ordinance, or AHO, on
18 March 4, 2020, and the matter was first taken up at
19 the Planning Board meeting of April 15, 2020.
20 The Planning Board has reviewed a large
21 number of projects totaling thousands of units under
22 the regulations contained in the current AHO, and the
23 earlier Court-imposed AHO, and has found that the
24 current regulations are easy to implement. The
25 requirements are clear as to the developer's
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 25
1 responsibilities, and to the duties of the Planning
2 Board. The terminology is well defined, or is of
3 common usage, and the Board cannot recall any
4 rancorous discussions taking place during site plan
5 review stemming from the issues about the provision of
6 affordable housing. The result is that there are
7 hundreds of affordable housing units either online or
8 waiting for development as a part of the approved, but
9 not yet built, projects.
10 Additionally, the current AHO does not
11 impact upon the development of 100 percent affordable
12 projects should that be the interest and specialty of
13 the developer, as was the case with the Court-ordered
14 affordable housing ordinance. As a result, while
15 market rate developments are being built with an
16 affordable component, there are also hundreds of fully
17 affordable units being planned and developed around
18 the City.
19 The Board reviewed Affordable Housing
20 Ordinances from other communities in Westchester
21 County, notably the ordinances from White Plains and
22 New Rochelle, and found that those ordinances were
23 more similar in percentages of affordable housing
24 required than the proposed amendment to our ordinance.
25 The other Westchester ordinances range from 8 to 12
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 26
1 percent required affordable housing in new
2 developments. It seems to the Planning Board that
3 this reflects what the market in Westchester can
4 reasonably produce.
5 The Board understands that New York City has
6 affordable housing programs that require a larger
7 percentage of affordable units, but the Board also
8 notes that NYC is a very different housing market and
9 that the programs and incentives offered there are
10 different and unlikely to be attainable in Yonkers.
11 Another difference between the NYC market and the
12 Yonkers markets that developers have told the Board
13 about during past discussions is that while the cost
14 of development in Yonkers is almost as high as that in
15 NYC, the rental income is nowhere near the same.
16 Developments in NYC can afford to cross subsidize a
17 larger number of units than can an identical project
18 in Yonkers because the top-end apartments rent for far
19 more than a similar unit would in Yonkers.
20 The Board understands the need for
21 affordable housing and the Council's desire to assist
22 in its provision; however, the Planning Board believes
23 that the tools that we have today are working well and
24 are producing affordable housing as a part of the
25 market-rate housing market. The Board is afraid of a
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 27
1 return to the time when the flawed Court-imposed AHO
2 was in place and no housing of any sort was being
3 built in Yonkers.
4 Based upon the Board's review of the
5 proposed text amendment to the Affordable Housing
6 Ordinance, Article XV, Chapter 43, Zoning, of the
7 Yonkers City Code and the Board's 10 years of
8 experience with the current ordinance, the Yonkers
9 Planning Board makes the following recommendations to
10 the Yonkers City Council:
11 1. Absent additional information, there is
12 no certainty that an increase in the percentage of
13 affordable housing units produced as part of a market
14 rate development would actually increase the overall
15 production of affordable housing in Yonkers. Fewer
16 developments of market-rate housing would result in
17 fewer affordable units.
18 2. The City Council should engage experts
19 in the affordable housing field, housing and
20 development economists, to advise it about any
21 potential impacts resulting from changing the current
22 ordinance. The Council should understand if a change
23 in the AHO will increase or decrease development of
24 all types of housing units. Further, the Council
25 should review with these experts what the proper range
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 28
1 of affordability of the units should be in order to
2 get the best production while understanding that all
3 affordable developments may be better suited to
4 provide a lower range of AMI apartments.
5 3. The City Council should bring developers
6 of multi-family housing to the discussion to gain
7 their perspective of the impact of any change to the
8 AHO, being careful to have a broad range of
9 developers,not just affordable housing specialist, to
10 get the best picture of the impacts of the ordinance
11 upon the housing market of the City.
12 4. The Council should ascertain, to the
13 extent that it can, if the proposed changes in the AHO
14 will cause developers to seek ever greater tax and
15 other financial incentives making the cost of
16 affordable housing units even higher than they are
17 today.
18 5. The Planning Board agrees with the
19 change in Section 43-194(F) that would change the way
20 the fee to the Affordable Housing Trust fund is
21 calculated. By using a percentage of the total cost
22 of the development instead of a set dollar figure per
23 unit, the fee can float with changes in the cost of
24 development without lagging over time or requiring
25 annual changes by the City Council.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 29
1 6. The Planning Board recommends that the
2 existing Section 43-195 Inclusionary Development
3 Benefits, be considered for removal. First, it
4 potentially impacts adjacent residents who have no
5 idea of how large a building would be built near them
6 based upon zoning because the bonus goes beyond
7 zoning. Second, the parking reduction benefit does
8 not necessarily track with the affordable units and
9 could cause undesirable parking impacts in
10 neighborhoods around affordable housing developments.
11 7. The Planning Board recommends that
12 Section 43-196 Development Locations, be kept as a pat
13 of the ordinance. The City spent 20 years and
14 millions of dollars in the housing desegregation case.
15 It is important to be aware of the potential to again
16 over concentrate affordable and low income housing.
17 Section 43-196 only requires that the issue of over
18 concentration continue to be a part of consideration
19 made during the review of housing developments.
20 The Planning Board recommends that the
21 current ordinance works well, has produced significant
22 amounts of affordable housing, has done so with little
23 problems, is a zoning tool that works well in our
24 housing market that is very different than the New
25 York City market and should be kept in place barring
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings

1 very strong evidence to the contrary.

4 have on this presentation? If we could unmute them,
5 please.
6 MS. ROBERTS: Hello, can you hear me?
7 THE CHAIRMAN: Who is speaking?
8 MS. ROBERTS: Kate Roberts from Zarin and

10 MR. KUNTZ: I'm not getting your first name.
11 MS. ROBERTS: Kate, K-A-T-E.
12 THE CHAIRMAN: She's listed as Kroberts on

14 MR. KUNTZ: Okay.
15 MS. ROBERTS: And I just want to make sure
16 everyone can see the screen that I have up.
17 THE CHAIRMAN: Yes. Let me introduce the
18 item now.
19 This is Item number 8, site plan review
20 for a proposed 54-room hotel at Block 187, Lot 1.5 on
21 the property known as 189 South Broadway pursuant to
22 Article IX of the Yonkers Zoning Ordinance.
23 David Steinmetz is the representative for
24 the proposal.
25 Ms. Roberts, please.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 32
1 MS. ROBERTS: Good evening, Mr. Chairman and
2 members of the Board. I hope everyone is doing well.
3 I am here with the law firm of Zarin and
4 Steinmetz, and with me tonight are representatives of
5 Broadway Hospitality on the part of 189 South
6 Broadway, as well as members of Lawless and Mangione,
7 the architects for the project, and Kevin
8 Masciovecchio from JMC, the project Traffic Engineer.
9 Our client previously appeared before your
10 Board for a similar hotel project beginning in March
11 of 2018. Since appearing with the previous
12 application for this project, the owner has hired our
13 firm to help coordinate the application, as well as
14 JMC as its Traffic Engineer to resolve the Board's
15 previous concerns with on-site parking and traffic
16 operations.
17 Can you see the screen share that I have?
18 THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, we see the project.
19 MS. ROBERTS: Okay, great.
20 So, we are here before your Board tonight
21 seeking site plan approval for a 54-room hotel project
22 in the South Broadway District. Additionally, we are
23 seeking a waiver from Section 43-134(A)(12) of the
24 City Zoning Code in order for the project to utilize
25 the proposed valet parking service, which myself and
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 33
1 JMC will further discuss in detail.
2 The project will revitalize and make use of
3 the existing building that's located on the property.
4 It is currently a vacant building that was previously
5 used as an auto repair facility. The hotel will be
6 Wyndham Hotel franchise for another similar national
7 brand.
8 Approximately 10 employees will be hired, a
9 mix of full-time and part-time employees. Of those
10 employees, there would be a 24-hour front desk worker,
11 as well as one to two additional employees working the
12 night shift for security purposes as well as to
13 facilitate the operation of the valet service. The
14 security on site would patrol the entire property and
15 ensure adequate safety and maintenance.
16 As you saw, I hope, in our submission to the
17 Board, a zoning compliance table was included. The
18 project is completely zoning compliant with no need
19 for any variances. We conform to all setbacks, lot
20 coverage, and dimensional requirements.
21 So, in March 2018, the applicant had
22 proposed an identical 54-room hotel with on-site
23 parking that was split between a below-grade garage
24 and a surface lot behind the proposed hotel building.
25 The Board previously had two essential
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 34
1 concerns. I looked at the denial resolution that was
2 issued by the Planning Board last time around, and the
3 first concern I really saw was an issue for paying for
4 the hotel's use. There were concerns from the
5 community about whether South Broadway and this
6 central quarter were a good idea for a hotel use.
7 The City then, the City Council, put a
8 moratorium on all hotel applications and hired BFJ as
9 their planner to study whether the neighbors'
10 conflicts were valid and whether South Broadway was,
11 in fact, an appropriate district for hotels.
12 We met with BFJ a few times through that
13 process and we provided a market analysis to them that
14 was included in our digital submission that
15 demonstrated that there is a demand for hotels in this
16 area. BFJ then issued a report to the City Council
17 which concurred and concluded that hotels are
18 appropriate in the South Broadway District so long as
19 they are regulated appropriately. And what BFJ had
20 proposed was certain licensing requirements for all
21 hotels in Yonkers.
22 We understand that the other South Broadway
23 hotel project that was before your Board during that
24 moratorium process was recently approved and our
25 understanding was that no licensing requirements have
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 35
1 yet been adopted by the Council, but the applicant is
2 more than willing to comply with any City-imposed
3 licensing requirements as a condition of site plan
4 approval for their project.
5 The next concern that I saw from your
6 resolution was a concern with the parking, and
7 specifically access to on-site parking. So, what we
8 have proposed here is a 24-valet service. It would
9 utilize the six spaces located directly off of Herriot
10 Street in front of the lobby to function as a mix
11 between a valet and a loading zone.
12 We have a few additional things that we
13 think would make it more guest and user friendly
14 including potentially placing a sign in the parking
15 lot to tell guests when they pull in where they're
16 going, where they should park, and what should go on
17 once they park their car. So, they should go into the
18 lobby, check in, and then a valet driver will move
19 their car to whichever lot has room and accommodation.
20 We also have thought of a few other things
21 such as the website showing that free valet parking
22 services will be provided on the site and giving a
23 little bit of guidance as to what will happen when the
24 user comes to the hotel.
25 I also want to say that the owner has
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 36
1 experience operating hotels with valet service only.
2 And they ran that by Wyndham and some of the other
3 clients that they deal with in their other projects,
4 and all of the staff are comfortable with the concept
5 and think that a valet operation would function
6 without a problem.
7 The owner is looking into whether the valet
8 would be run by a private company or whether they
9 would operate the valet service themselves internally.
10 They're looking at what would be the most cost
11 effective, but also which would be the safest option
12 for guests.
13 I'm now going to turn it over to Kevin, who
14 is just going to highlight the parking areas and
15 discuss how the shared parking spaces are going to
16 work.
17 MR. MASCIOVECCHIO: Good evening. Can
18 everyone hear me tonight?
19 MS. ROBERTS: Yes.
20 MR. MASCIOVECCHIO: Thank you, everyone.
21 So, the site plan north is to the right. On
22 the bottom of the screen is South Broadway. Along the
23 right side is Herriot Street. And on the left of the
24 property is Astor Place, which is connected to Herriot
25 Street on top with Caroline Street. What we're going
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 37
1 to do now is review the areas, but we wanted to show
2 where all the facilities are.
3 So, zooming in onto the main parking, the
4 main drop-off and pickup, which is off of Herriot
5 Street, there are six parking spaces which are going
6 to be provided in this area adjacent to the main lobby
7 entrance, which is located on the bottom of the
8 screen.
9 These spaces are provided directly in
10 front of the lobby entrance, and more spaces are
11 provided towards the top of the page in a tandem-stack
12 style. This area will also serve for the loading
13 area.
14 A loading area will account for daily
15 deliveries, which are UPS, Fedex, and USPS. It is our
16 anticipation that will occur between 6:00 a.m. and
17 10:00 a.m., daily deliveries, including cleaning and
18 laundry supplies will be scheduled outside of the
19 hotel check-in, checkout times. The hotel check-in
20 peak time is anticipated to be between 3:00 and
21 5:00 p.m., but will be spread throughout the day and
22 will include taxi drop-offs and check-in. The hotel
23 check-out peak time is typically 10:00 a.m. to noon.
24 The scheduled deliveries will typically take less than
25 10 minutes and then occur two to three times per week.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 38
1 The waiver that was discussed by Kate is a
2 requirement for a 24-foot aisle with on-street
3 parking. Due to the tandem parking spaces provided on
4 site at the top of the screen, those two spaces all
5 the way up top do not provide this 24-foot aisle. So,
6 valet has that, will be familiar with the traffic
7 patterns of the hotel, and will be able to optimize
8 use of all spaces including the two closer to the
9 building for the valet operations.
10 MS. ROBERTS: Just to reemphasize what Kevin
11 had said, when a guest of the hotel arrives into the
12 Herriot Street drop-off and pickup area, we propose
13 that there be a sign to tell them to park in any of
14 the open valet spots and then to go in, and the valet
15 will take their keys and immediately know which
16 garage, or parking lot, has areas for them to park and
17 where the car is going to go.
18 Also to reemphasize what Kevin said, we have
19 talked to the owner who runs a multitude of different
20 hotels in the region, who had said, just based on
21 experience, deliveries really only come in the morning
22 before the peak check-in and check-out periods. And
23 the size of the trucks that come are UPS-size delivery
24 trucks, they're never oversized trucks. So, we
25 believe that the loading zone here would facilitate
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 39
1 any of these truck deliveries before the peak check-in
2 and check-out period, and that all of the spots will
3 be enough to serve all of the guests who are checking
4 in, which, again, based on what Mark should have told
5 us, it's never more than two guests at one period at a
6 time.
7 THE CHAIRMAN: Great.
8 MS. ROBERTS: Also, just to go over the
9 Board's previous concerns with the two different
10 parking areas and how JMC, the Traffic Engineer,
11 believes that the proposed valet service will meet any
12 of the Boards's previous concerns.
13 So, the Board's previous concern with the
14 South Broadway garage, which has a curb cut and would
15 have the garage opening approximately here, the
16 Board's concern was that guests previously would need
17 to park within the curb cut and sidewalk area blocking
18 pedestrians from entering and blocking pedestrians
19 from crossing the sidewalk there.
20 With the valet service, Kevin will speak
21 more to this, but we no longer have the guest
22 operating a keypad or card reader system where they
23 would need to get out of their car, operate the keypad
24 system, get back in, and then drive up and be on the
25 sidewalk for a long period of time. We moved it to
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 40
1 the back of the proposed hotel.
2 The Board's previous concern was that cars
3 who are unfamiliar with the local roads would have to
4 go from the Herriot Street drop-off pickup zone, go
5 through Herriot Street, then Caroline Avenue, and back
6 to Astor Place, and it might be confusing to people
7 who are really unfamiliar with the way these local
8 roads work.
9 So, Kevin, if you want to take it away and
10 tell the Board how the valet service will take care of
11 those concerns, please do.
12 MR. MASCIOVECCHIO: Yes, going to the valet
13 operations, as Kate was saying, guests will be
14 directed to park in pickup, drop-off area here off
15 Herriot Street in one of the six parking spaces that
16 were shown previously. Hotel staff will be the only
17 individuals who will move vehicles to the other two
18 parking areas from then on. And they will return the
19 vehicles back to the drop-off pickup area off Herriot
20 Street to the guest. So, once a guest comes and
21 arrives, their car will only be moved by staff from
22 that location.
23 Going to the South Broadway garage, it's
24 located underneath the building and will utilize the
25 existing curb cut as was briefly proposed. The
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 41
1 driveway will be gated and it will be controlled by a
2 hardwire button, which will be pressed by an employee
3 in the lobby. The employee will press this button
4 prior to moving the vehicle from the area, the drop-
5 off area, and the gate will open prior to moving the
6 vehicle with the gate opened on South Broadway.
7 Vehicles will be able to enter the right turn and are
8 not anticipated to backup or block the sidewalk
9 because they will not be using a keypad or card reader
10 system. Exiting vehicles from this parking area will
11 wait for a gap in the traffic on Broadway prior to
12 exiting the driveway and aren't anticipated to impact
13 the traffic on Broadway.
14 The other parking area located off of Astor
15 Place will, again, only be accessed by hotel staff.
16 Once the hotel staff does park a vehicle there, they
17 can access the building, they don't need to walk on
18 the roadways, they can come into the building and get
19 back over towards the lobby area. The -- will be
20 controlled by a rolling gate which will be open prior
21 to the staff moving a vehicle from the Herriot Street
22 lot. And staff will be familiar without navigating
23 just from doing it on a routine basis.
24 In conclusion, the guests will only be
25 travelling to and from pickup and drop-off area on
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 42
1 Herriot Street, and valet service will move cars from
2 there. Two proposed parking lots will each contain
3 approximately half of the cars that will be parked on
4 the site. And the parking lot site, the keys are
5 required for those spaces excluding the tandem valet
6 parking spaces that were shown.
7 THE CHAIRMAN: Kate, I think you're muted.
8 MS. ROBERTS: Sorry about that. So just to
9 emphasize what Kevin had said, I think one of the
10 Board's concerns last time was just about site
11 security. And we have made sure that both of the
12 parking areas do have the rolling gates both on the
13 parking garage and on the Astor Place lot so that
14 people who, only really the hotel staff will have
15 access through those gates.
16 Guests can access their cars to get things
17 by going through the building. There's an elevator
18 that would go down to the garage as well as up to the
19 Astor Place lot, but only the valet drivers and the
20 hotel staff will actually be able to open the gates
21 and be able to move cars out of those areas.
22 So, Bruno, if you're here. Is Bruno on?
23 MR. RICCIUTI: This is Joe Ricciuti from
24 Lawless Mangiane. I don't think Bruno is on. I'm not
25 sure if you can you see me.

Page 43
1 MS. ROBERTS: We can hear you, Joe.
2 MR. RICCIUTI: Can you see me?
3 MS. ROBERTS: Yes.
4 MR. RICCIUTI: Okay, perfect, I'm just going
5 to run through it.
6 Good evening, Mr. Chairman, members of the
7 Board. My name is Joseph Ricciuti from Lawless and
8 Mangione Corp. I'm sure you remember this project
9 back from two years ago. I'm going to run through it
10 really quick again, but nothing has really changed
11 with the building itself but, again, I'll take a few
12 minutes and walk through it.
13 As Kate and Kevin said, the existing garage
14 which is going to stay an existing garage, it serves
15 with 21 spaces. The first floor off of the Herriot
16 entrance vestibule, it's going to come out to the
17 second and third proposed floors, which equal
18 54 units. And, again, nothing has changed since we
19 were there a few years ago. The layout will remain,
20 the elevators, the stairs, and the same with the
21 facade.
22 I'm sorry, am I doing something wrong?
23 MS. ROBERTS: No, I can hear you.
24 MR. RICCIUTI: I'm on the elevation now.
25 There is no change. Again, the front elevation, which
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 44
1 is South Broadway, the elevation, we're going to
2 restore the existing brick facade that's there. And
3 along Herriot, we are going to, right now it's just a
4 mason and concrete lobby. What we're doing there is
5 we're going to stucco a little bit and, again, try to
6 match the same look that's over there. And that's
7 about it for the building. Again, there are no
8 changes.
9 If you have any question, feel free to ask
10 them.
11 THE CHAIRMAN: Kate, I think you're muted.
12 MS. ROBERTS: I'm sorry, I keep getting
13 muted.
14 Before we turn turn to the Planning Board
15 for questions and comments, I just wanted to say we
16 did receive the Engineering, the Traffic Engineering,
17 comments. We are, we're going to be responding to
18 those comments before the next meeting. And we're
19 here before the Board tonight to see what other
20 comments and questions the Board may have to
21 incorporate in our responses.
22 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Ms. Roberts.
23 Members of the Board, questions? I have a
24 few, but I'll open it up to you first. Just speak up
25 because I can't see.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 45
1 MS. FORSBERG: Has the applicant submitted
2 an MPT plan back from the beginning two years ago? I
3 remember this, but not those details about what the
4 MPT plan was concerning how it affects the neighboring
5 businesses and the construction period you're going to
6 do a project like this.
7 THE CHAIRMAN: Ms. Roberts, did you hear the
8 question?
9 MS. ROBERTS: Yeah, she asked me if we
10 submitted a market plan?
11 THE CHAIRMAN: I think you were asking for
12 a work zone plan, an MPT, for the construction phase.
13 MS. ROBERTS: Okay. Was that in our
14 submission packet, Rich? If it's not, we will prepare
15 it in time for the next meeting.
16 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Let me ask a few
17 questions, I still have questions regarding the
18 traffic flow and the parking.
19 Now, my understanding then is the guests
20 will only be coming in their automobile to the Herriot
21 side of the building so that they will never be
22 entering or exiting either of the parking lots in
23 their vehicles; is that correct?
24 MS. ROBERTS: That's correct, Chairman.
25 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Is there currently a
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 46
1 curb cut on Herriot Street?
2 MS. ROBERTS: Yes, there is currently a curb
3 cut. Rich, is that the same curb cut that we'll be
4 using, I'm sorry, Joe?
5 Joe, you're on mute.
6 MR. RICCIUTI: I'm muted again, why does
7 this keep happening?
8 MS. ROBERTS: You're off mute.
9 MR. RICIUTI: Yes, that is an existing curb
10 cut, and it will be reused.
11 THE CHAIRMAN: And you mentioned with
12 respect to deliveries, the timing and the size of the
13 trucks, is that something within your control? How
14 can we be assured that both the delivery timing and
15 the size of the vehicles won't be something different
16 than what's being presented?
17 MS. ROBERTS: Sure. So, I can tell you
18 that, as far as the size of the trucks, the owner has
19 said that none of the deliveries that they charted in
20 other facilities they get are large deliveries. So,
21 maybe when the hotel is under construction and they're
22 getting their first round of mattresses in, for
23 instance, or first round of furniture, they might have
24 a bigger truck during construction but, after that,
25 it's going to be things, small things, like laundry,
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 47
1 various cleaning supplies, office supplies that would
2 utilize a small UPS truck like most offices do.
3 As far as timing, apart from what we
4 experience in reality and what our client has told us
5 from many hotels they operate is that these trucks
6 really do come in the morning. The other thing that
7 we considered is that the loading zone, I don't know
8 if you can see my mouse, but the loading zone is back
9 in this corner here, which still leaves at least two
10 valet spots open, even if a truck were to be there,
11 say at 10 o'clock where potentially one or two guests
12 is starting to check out. So, there is still room for
13 people to check out if there does happen to be a
14 delivery truck there during off-peak time. And I
15 think just, based on experience, that's how their
16 hotels operate.
17 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. It would be helpful,
18 also, if you could for the next meeting prepare
19 basically a sign diagram because the trucks for
20 deliveries will no doubt be coming from South Broadway
21 coming onto Herriot, doing their delivery, and then
22 returning to South Broadway. If you could possibly
23 show us how the turning radius will work for the
24 largest truck that you anticipate visiting the
25 property.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 48
1 MS. ROBERTS: Yes, absolutely. And that was
2 one of the points the Traffic Engineer made, JMC is
3 going to put that together in time for the next
4 meeting, we just didn't have time today to get that
5 done for this meeting.
6 THE CHAIRMAN: That's fine. Now, going back
7 to other modus operandi here, there's 54 rooms in the
8 hotel. What is the maximum percentage usage that you
9 anticipate. I mean, we all wish, you probably wish, a
10 hundred percent, but are we looking at times that it
11 will be at 80/90 percent from experience?
12 MS. ROBERTS: I think ownership is on, but
13 if you don't mind, if I could ask them that question
14 and have an answer prepared for you for the next
15 meeting with more details. I don't know if he has the
16 ability to audio in. So, we'll get that.
17 THE CHAIRMAN: Well, let me tell you where
18 I'm going and then you can possibly have an answer for
19 me by the next meeting, too. Whatever that maximum
20 occupancy rate would be times the number of rooms that
21 you have, give or take the couple of people who leave
22 early in the morning, I know usually it's within the
23 hour-and-a-half to an hour before checkout time that
24 you're going to have the most number of vehicles
25 leaving your property, and I'm just worried that
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 49
1 you're going to have a lot of disgruntled guests
2 trying to get out of the property and the cue, you
3 don't have a very large cue, available on Herriot
4 Street to allow them to check out. Moreover, you're
5 going to have some valets that are going to be running
6 back and forth.
7 By the way, is there in internal method for
8 them to shortcut or are the valets --
9 MS. ROBERTS: Yes, there's an internal way.
10 So, up at the Astor Place lot, there is a door and an
11 elevator that can bring any guests to the lobby, and
12 there's the same in the garage. So, the valet
13 wouldn't have to park up the ramp from the garage to
14 South Broadway on the sidewalk and run around to the
15 front lawn, they can go through the hotel in that time
16 period. So, that is built in, and it will help speed
17 things up.
18 I see where you're going with this and I'll
19 get some real world information from our client and
20 send it out in writing before the next meeting.
21 THE CHAIRMAN: I appreciate that.
22 I have a note from our Stenographer, she
23 needs the spelling of Joe's last name.
24 MS. ROBERTS: It's R-I-C-C-I-U-T-I.
25 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Kate.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 50
1 MS. ROBERTS: No problem.
2 THE CHAIRMAN: And what is the GPS address
3 for the hotel, would it be South Broadway, or will it
4 be Herriot Street in your -- actually on GPS, how is
5 it listed now and what will it be listed on in your
6 advertising?
7 MS. ROBERTS: I think right now it's listed
8 as 189 South Broadway. I'll talk to Richard about how
9 they've dealt with asking to change the GPS address,
10 what we need to do to make sure it's Herriot.
11 The other thing I'll say is we do plan on
12 having it, we've even talked about it, when you book a
13 hotel online, you get sort of this e-mail back to you
14 that has some of the information about the hotel, and
15 we talked about putting instructions in that
16 automated, you know, e-mail back so that you get an
17 understanding of what they should expect when they
18 arrive to the hotel. So, we've started to think about
19 your point, how they would know to go to Herriot,
20 and then work internally with how that's actually
21 dealt with online, and maps and so forth.
22 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you. And then for the
23 those guests that are over an age, that I'm not going
24 to mention, that are simply going to drive there, I
25 would assume there's going to be some sort of signage
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 51
1 or something to direct them so that they're not
2 bottlenecking and looking for an entrance on South
3 Broadway, that they would directly proceed to Herriot
4 Street; is that correct?
5 MS. ROBERTS: So, we had talked about
6 putting signs within the Herriot drop-off and pickup
7 zone. But to your point, it might also be worthwhile
8 to think about putting signs on the building on South
9 Broadway for the guests. So, let us look into
10 initially what would be the most effective and be the
11 most appealing to Yonkers, and we'll submit that as
12 well our next round.
13 THE CHAIRMAN: Right, but whatever signs
14 would have to appear on the site plan for them to be
15 used.
16 MS. ROBERTS: Yes.
17 THE CHAIRMAN: Members of the Board, do we
18 have any other questions?
19 MS. LANDI: Mr. Chairman, the only comment I
20 would have is with the traffic there, we also have
21 school buses going in and out to Cedar Place School,
22 so that will have an impact on traffic in that area.
23 THE CHAIRMAN: All right. Lee, am I
24 correct, we're still waiting to hear back from Traffic
25 and Engineer on this application?
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 52
1 MR. ELLMAN: I'm expecting additional
2 comment back from Traffic, but there was not a request
3 for a traffic study because this is a relatively small
4 use.
5 THE CHAIRMAN: I understand that, I'm not
6 looking for a traffic study, but I think this, I
7 remember when I visited the site for the last
8 application, that Astor Place is pretty small and it's
9 pretty tight, and it's made tighter by neighborhood
10 parking there. And what I'm worrying about,
11 especially when we have valets who are in a hurry to
12 get the car to where they need to go, that it might
13 create a dangerous situation coming around Caroline
14 Street, whatever, down to Herriot. It would be great
15 to have the comment from our Traffic Engineer on that,
16 as well.
17 MR. ELLMAN: I will ask him again, but that
18 has been the crux of my issues with this site, as
19 well, the access could not be designed to be more
20 difficult.
21 Just one comment about the applicant's
22 statement about timing and size of delivery trucks. I
23 just want to remind the Board of the regular delivery
24 by the 18-wheeler at the Lincoln and Nepperhan Avenue
25 Dunkin Donuts, where I believe the 18-wheeler is
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 53
1 larger than the Dunkin Donuts itself. And we have the
2 same situation, Mr. Chairman, with the Dunkin Donuts
3 up by your office where I have watched an 18-wheeler
4 drop off boxes that perhaps weigh 8 or 10 pounds. If
5 it is on the delivery company's route and it's their
6 advantage to use whatever size truck they have, unless
7 it is coming from a central commissary from the
8 applicant under the applicant's own control, I suggest
9 that it's difficult for any applicant to know the size
10 of the delivery trucks that will be coming there.
11 THE CHAIRMAN: Yeah, that was my concern, as
12 well.
13 Is that it from staff on questions?
14 MR. ELLMAN: Yes, it is.
15 THE CHAIRMAN: Members of the Board, any
16 other questions?
17 MS. FORSBERG: The only request I have is
18 for an MPT plan just because of the access to that
19 location and the neighboring businesses.
20 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, that's noted. Any
21 other members of the Board, questions?
22 MR. JOHNSON: Lee already said about the
23 traffic, I'm just thinking about the traffic on Astor
24 Place, Caroline and even Herriot. Just the parking,
25 the valet cars, just that area, I don't see how this
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 54
1 would all work and how it will be managed, but I will
2 look for feedback from the Traffic Engineer regarding
3 this particular site.
4 THE CHAIRMAN: All right, thank you, Mr.
5 Johnson.
6 Anyone else on the Board, questions?
7 Okay, if not, I understand this is not a
8 public hearing, I mean, it's not a public hearing, but
9 we did have a request from the BID for South Broadway,
10 they did submit a letter which you should all have
11 available. It was either in your packets or it was
12 e-mailed to you.
13 Is Mr. Monasebian on our meeting list here
14 today, is there any member of the South Broadway BID?
15 MR. KUNTZ: Everyone is unmuted.
16 THE CHAIRMAN: Is there a member of the
17 South Broadway BID on the call?
18 Okay, well, obviously we're not finished
19 with this item today, they can still present more
20 items, but we do have their letter dated May 12th,
21 which everyone has in their packet.
22 Lee, if you can make sure that the applicant
23 receives a copy of that as well, they may want to
24 just, they've already addressed some of the issues,
25 they may want to address more of the issues in a
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 55
1 letter for the next meeting.
2 I believe we do need at this point to do a
3 Lead Agency referral; is that correct, Lee?
4 MR. ELLMAN: Yes, it is.
5 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, hold on, I usually do
6 that, but it was sent to me late. Here it is.
7 I make a motion for the City of
8 Yonkers Planning Board to initiate Lead Agency Notice
9 pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality
10 Review Act for the proposed hotel at Block 187, Lot
11 1.5 on the property known as 189 South Broadway. The
12 Planning Board hereby instructs the Planning Bureau to
13 circulate a Lead Agency Notice; if no responses are
14 received in 45 days, the Planning Board shall assume
15 Lead Agency.
16 Do I have a second on that resolution?
17 MR. LARKIN: Second.
18 MR. ELLMAN: Mr. Chairman, I think we had a
19 typo creep into that reso, it should be 30 days.
20 THE CHAIRMAN: All right. I amend my
21 resolution for any responses received within 30 days.
22 Mr. Larkin, I assume you still second the
23 resolution?
24 MR. LARKIN: Yes.
25 THE CHAIRMAN: All in favor, please indicate
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 56
1 by saying aye.
2 (A chorus of ayes.)
3 THE CHAIRMAN: Oppose, nay. That passes
4 unanimously.
5 And we are done with Item number 8 for this
6 evening. Thank you very much, Ms. Roberts, we'll see
7 you at next month's meeting.
8 MS. ROBERTS: Thank you. Stay safe and
9 healthy.
10 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you. From someone's
11 grandfather clock chiming in the back, that means it
12 is 7 o'clock, so moving back to Item number 5, which
13 is a special use permit application and site plan
14 review for an amendment to the Extell development
15 at -- and then there's a whole slue of different
16 blocks and lots, which I'm not going to read --
17 pursuant to Article IX of the Yonkers Zoning
18 Ordinance.
19 Ms. Janet Giris is here. Can we unmute Ms.
20 Giris?
21 MR. KUNTZ: She's unmuted.
22 MS. GIRIS: Thank you for having me, I hope
23 everybody is well, nice to see everybody.
24 We started this application process with you
25 last month, and this is just a minor modification to
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 57
1 the site plan and special permit which were recently
2 approved back in February of 2017. You might all
3 remember this, this is a PUR, which permits a total of
4 1,395 residential units in seven buildings together
5 with approximately 48,000 square feet of commercial
6 space and approximately 1,580 parking spaces.
7 I don't need to go through the approval
8 history, I think you're all familiar with it, but we
9 are seeking amended site plan and special permit
10 approval to submit some minor modifications to the
11 project, which are proposed to address some of the
12 comments that we received from the New York DEC and
13 Army Corps of Engineers, as well as Metro North
14 Railroad.
15 So, as I mentioned to you last month,
16 they're very minor in nature, they include a reduction
17 in the size of the building footprint of that
18 building, which is known as Building A on Lot 5; the
19 addition of some sanitary sewer service connections;
20 and the construction of an overhead utility bridge
21 over Metro North Railroad in lieu of the previously
22 approved and proposed jack and bore water main
23 installation, which actually went under the tracks.
24 So, very simple in nature, because it's a
25 PUR, it does require a public hearing but, as I
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 58
1 mentioned, is a very minor modification.
2 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you very much, Ms.
3 Giris.
4 Is someone speaking? I hear someone
5 talking, is that just background?
6 Okay, members of the Board, do we have any
7 questions for the applicant at this point?
8 Staff?
9 MR. ELLMAN: No. I'm still working on my
10 review, Mr. Chairman.
11 THE CHAIRMAN: I understand that, it's been
12 a very trying several months, we're doing the best we
13 can on everything, but let's do some housekeeping
14 then.
15 Do we have all the green cards, whatever we
16 need, for the public hearing today?
17 MS. GIRIS: So, Mr. Chairman, yes. Well,
18 yes and no. The notice was properly mailed in
19 accordance with the City's regulations, return receipt
20 requested, but because of the COVID situation, the
21 post office is not collecting green cards and sending
22 them back. So, we did submit to the Planning Bureau
23 our affidavit of service and proof of mailing by
24 return receipt requested.
25 THE CHAIRMAN: That's good enough for me.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 59
1 If there are no other objections, I will then open the
2 public hearing. This is now an open public hearing.
3 If you could possibly, George, unmute
4 everyone that way we can't make any mistakes.
5 MR. KUNTZ: Okay everyone is unmuted.
6 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, everyone is unmuted.
7 This is the public hearing portion of Item
8 number 5, which is the special use permit application
9 for Alexander Street, Babcock, Water Grant, those are
10 all the streets involved. Is there anyone here on the
11 meeting that wishes to speak or comment or question on
12 this item?
13 Let the record reflect that no one has
14 responded.
15 I will now entertain a motion from the Board
16 to close the public hearing. Do I have a resolution,
17 anyone?
18 MS. LANDI: Yes, I move to close the
19 meeting.
20 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Adelia.
21 We have a proposal to close the hearing. Do
22 I have a second?
23 MR. JOHNSON: Yes.
24 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, Mr. Johnson, thank you.
25 Seconded.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 60
1 All in favor, please indicate by saying aye.
2 (A chorus of ayes.)
3 THE CHAIRMAN: Oppose, nay.
4 Okay, that passes unanimously.
5 We have closed the public hearing and right
6 now we'll just look to meet with you again, Ms. Giris,
7 at next month's meeting.
8 MS. GIRIS: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
9 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you.
10 MR. KUNTZ: Put everyone on mute, Mr.
11 Chairman?
12 THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, if you can put everybody
13 on mute, but take the members off. Actually, you can
14 also leave Ms. Giris unmuted.
15 MR. KUNTZ: She's unmuted. Everyone can
16 unmute themselves. If they're on a phone, they have
17 to do star 6. Stacy, you're the only one who looks
18 like you're on a phone, so you have to do star six,
19 caller number 10.
20 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. This is now Item
21 number 9, which is site plan review for the proposed
22 conversion of an existing bank office building to a
23 new medical office building, including related parking
24 at Block 4544, Lot 1 on the Property known as 21
25 Scarsdale Road pursuant to Article IX of the Yonkers
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 61
1 Zoning Ordinance.
2 Janet Giris is here, representative for the
3 proposal.
4 Ms. Giris.
5 MS. GIRIS: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm
6 happy to be here once again on this application on
7 behalf of 21 Scarsdale Reality, which is a related
8 entity of Simone Development Company. You might
9 remember, Simone is also the Developer of Boyce
10 Thompson Center.
11 Joining this evening, I have Guy Leibler,
12 who's the President of Simone Healthcare. And also
13 joining me, helping on the engineering side for sure,
14 Mike Finan, the Civil Engineer, and Allison O'Neill,
15 who is the Structural Engineer.
16 So, I don't know if you're familiar with
17 this property, just a little bit of background on it.
18 It is located at 21 Scarsdale Road. It consists of
19 approximately 2.87 acres and is located in an I
20 District of the City.
21 It's currently improved with an existing
22 building, which is approximately 44,500 square feet;
23 an annex building of approximately 8,700 square feet,
24 and is currently occupied by Sterling National Bank.
25 If you're familiar with the building, many people
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 62
1 refer to it as the Sterling Bank building.
2 Sterling will vacate the property at the end
3 of 2020, and, so, we are proposing to convert the
4 existing structures from the current use of office to
5 medical office. In order to be able to accommodate
6 that use, we're also proposing the construction of a
7 new parking structure. That structure intended to be
8 located at the western portion of the property, the
9 209 parking spaces bringing the total of parking
10 spaces on the property, I believe the number is 285,
11 which is in excess of the number that is required
12 under the Zoning Board for medical use of this
13 building.
14 I don't want to belabor the application too
15 long this evening, I wanted to introduce Guy and our
16 engineering team to talk to you a little bit of what
17 it is that we're proposing here.
18 I also wanted to mention that we are also in
19 the process of doing a small addition to the building,
20 which is not before you yet, but we hope will be
21 before you as early as next month when we are able to
22 amend the application. We're still working out the
23 architectural details of that little building
24 addition.
25 So, I would like to introduce Guy, if he

1 wanted to add anything to what I had to say. And then
2 afterward, Mike and Allison will take over and show
3 you the parking structure and modifications that
4 are being proposed to the site.
5 MR. LEIBLER: Good evening, Mr. Chairman,
6 and to the Planning Board.
7 Janet did share a number of the items we all
8 wanted to cover with you this evening. I certainly
9 want to say it is our pleasure to be back again to
10 redevelop a building in the City of Yonkers. We had a
11 very good experience with the Boyce Thompson Center,
12 and we are very pleased and delighted to be back.
13 As Janet did say, we will start the building
14 program and planning now. Sterling Bank will vacate
15 at the end of this year and we expect with all of our
16 approvals and permits in hand when that happens, and
17 we can start redevelopment in the first quarter of
18 2021. We expect to take about 16 months to reposition
19 the building. We will be back with an amendment for
20 the meeting in June showing a small addition to the
21 building and a canopy and a plan showing signage
22 locations.
23 So, with that, I will ask Mike Finan to
24 start with the site plan review, and then Allison
25 O'Neill on discussing the building and, of course,
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 64
1 questions when everyone is finished.
2 Thank you very much.
3 MR. FINAN: Thank you, Guy.
4 Again, this is Mike Finan with Langan
5 Engineering.
6 I guess we're just kind of orienting you
7 with the existing site, even though Janet has gone
8 through it with great detail here.
9 Right now there's an existing curb cut
10 located here off Scarsdale Road. We would enter into
11 the existing surface parking lot this way, come in and
12 come out of this location. And as I said, there's
13 surface parking throughout. There's the existing
14 structure, which is located at the approximate center
15 of the lot, and the annex building in the back.
16 There is an existing sanitary sewer line
17 that runs through the middle of the property, which is
18 owned by the County, and we are bordered by the Bronx
19 River Parkway effectively around this perimeter of the
20 parcel, and it divides the river, in essence, from the
21 property by a stone wall that runs the entire length
22 here.
23 THE CHAIRMAN: I'm sorry, Bronx River
24 itself?
25 MR. FINAN: I apologize. The Bronx River
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 65
1 itself. And the Bronx River Parkway is over here to
2 the west.
3 So, that's the existing site conditions.
4 And, again, just to kind of give you a 3D view of it,
5 this is a Google image so you can see any structure as
6 well as surface parking and the Bronx River Parkway,
7 Bronx River, around the site.
8 So, here's the proposal. This is the
9 parking structure which will be located in the
10 northwest quadrant of the site. The main building
11 will be here. A 3,000 square foot addition off the
12 back. The entrance to the parking garage will come
13 off of Scarsdale Road. We are going to be moving it
14 about 59 feet or so to the east. That will do a
15 couple of things. I'll just zoom in here.
16 That will improve our site distance being
17 left, because right now it is here. And also lower
18 the elevation which will help us lower the parking
19 structure. There will be a drop-off at the front of
20 the building. This will be a one-way traffic lane.
21 Come in, drop off, or exit the facility, or come back
22 through the parking to find a parking spot, and come
23 in through the parking garage around the back.
24 As Janet indicated, there are currently 285
25 parking spaces proposed both combined with surface and
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 66
1 structured parking. There's a requirement of 282
2 based on the square footage of the structure. The
3 refuse area will be in the back corner here. And our
4 loading area will be here.
5 So, you can see what we tried to do is plan
6 for layout of all the surface plans so that we do
7 improve the previously impacted areas. The pervious
8 surface for the proposed condition will actually be
9 less than the existing condition, about 1,300 square
10 feet.
11 This is a redevelopment project and will
12 require stone water improvements, which we have not
13 got to yet, that will be part of our next submission.
14 And that will include things like water quality
15 features to the extent that they're required.
16 There is a small portion of the site that is
17 encumbered by the 100-year flood plain, and we are
18 minimizing fill within that flood plain as great as we
19 can possible. And we are making a made fill
20 equivalent compensation of excavation on the site,
21 which will mainly occur in this back corner here
22 because, as you can see, in the underlay of the
23 aerial, there's a parking surface here which has been
24 elevated and there's a 6-foot retaining wall that
25 bounds that parking area.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 67
1 So, with that, that's the site elements.
2 We'll turn it over to Allison to go through the
3 parking structure.
4 THE CHAIRMAN: I think she's muted.
5 MR. LEIBLER: There you go.
6 MS. O'NEILL: Thank you. Thanks, Mike.
7 This is Allison from Gale Associates, and I'm going to
8 try to share my screen now. Did that work, can
9 everyone see my screen?
10 THE CHAIRMAN: I got it.
11 MS. O'NEILL: Okay. So, as Mike was saying,
12 there are two access points to the parking structure.
13 There's one relative to the way that Mike's plan was
14 just oriented, this is 90 degrees rotated. So,
15 Scarsdale Road is on the right-hand side of this plan
16 and cars can access the garage from this driveway off
17 of Scarsdale Road or through the site parking in the
18 back of the building, can follow that around and
19 access. The cars come in, there's a small parking
20 area here, and they can continue up to the roof level.
21 And this is the view looking with the
22 existing building on the left and the new proposed
23 parking structure on it and new entrance off of
24 Scarsdale Road.
25 And I'll just bounce to this, this is a
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 68
1 stair tower in this corner. What you can't see from
2 the rendering is this stairwell will be the tower in
3 the southwest corner.
4 And this rendering is the other perspective
5 view looking down Scarsdale Road, I believe east, with
6 the new structure and the existing building beyond on
7 the right, as well.
8 And that's about it for the parking
9 structure. Mike, do you have anything else to offer?
10 MR. FINAN: I don't.
11 MR. LEIBLER: As you can see from the
12 rendering, we've done our best to match the
13 architecture so that the parking garage does have, is
14 in context, and we will continue to evolve the design
15 so that we do pick up the elements of the office
16 building.
17 The parking garage, as Janet said in her
18 introduction and Mike stated, as well, in order for
19 this building to be used for medical offices, we do
20 have a parking requirement in the City for 5,000.
21 That's what is also required by industry standard
22 throughout, the visitors to the building and the
23 staff.
24 I can add that the same ratio that we used
25 at the Boyce Thompson Center, which has worked out
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 69
1 just fine.
2 THE CHAIRMAN: Is that it for the
3 presentation? Can I go to questions?
4 MR. LEIBLER: Yes, sir, Mr. Chairman, that
5 is our presentation for the evening.
6 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. First of all, I'm very
7 happy to see you guys are the people doing this
8 project. Hopefully, it's as well done as the Boyce
9 Thompson was done. But I did have some questions, I
10 am familiar with that area.
11 First of all, while we have the picture up
12 here, it does a decent job of following the style of
13 the building, but is it possible to get some more of
14 the ornamentation? I see that on the building itself
15 there are some squares and diamonds, and things like
16 that, if we could continue that onto the building to
17 have it match even closer, that would be nice. A
18 little picky I know, but the picture was up there, so
19 I thought I would get to that first.
20 MR. LEIBLER: It is a fair request, we will
21 do that.
22 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. And, also, are those
23 faux windows in the tower and that is an elevator in
24 there, how is that going to look as far as the tower
25 of the parking garage?
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 70
1 MS. O'NEILL: Those are actual windows in
2 the stair tower.
3 THE CHAIRMAN: Those are real windows.
4 Okay, thank you.
5 Now, did you ever consider having the
6 entrance or exit for the entire servicing the property
7 at the traffic light as opposed to having, you
8 basically have two different areas servicing them, the
9 property?
10 MR. LEIBLER: I'll start, and then Mike, you
11 can go back to that. We looked at a number of options
12 as to how the circulation would work best. We thought
13 as we looked at it to have a separate entrance to the
14 parking garage because that is where the cars really
15 need, want to go, and to bring them through the site
16 at the entrance a little bit further to the east does
17 get a little messy. We did look at that, it was an
18 obvious first cut, but we could not get the various
19 movements to work in a quality pattern and, frankly,
20 in a safe pattern.
21 Mike, let me ask you to get technical on
22 that if you would.
23 MR. FINAN: Certainly, will. Yes, so, we
24 did look at combining the east entrance with a turning
25 movement that brought you into the parking structure
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 71
1 and, obviously, that accommodated the drop-off. But
2 as we got in here, it's a really sharp turn to get in
3 here, so folks come into here have to make the
4 immediate decision to either go right or left. And we
5 felt that that turning movement was really awkward and
6 potentially dangerous for the facility, and we opted
7 to keep this entrance separate and close to its
8 existing location because people are used to that
9 traffic pattern today.
10 This entrance will get a lot of use, per se,
11 or if it does, it's during the day, and at drop-off
12 time, the people who will come to the deck are
13 probably coming to work, accessing this location. So,
14 we felt this was a much better and safer approach and
15 design to access these different locations of the
16 site.
17 THE CHAIRMAN: All right. Lee, Traffic and
18 Engineering still has to opine on this; is that
19 correct?
20 MR. ELLMAN: Yes, Traffic and Engineering
21 sent me a brief e-mail, one of their concerns is to
22 look at this because medical uses have a higher
23 traffic demand at most facilities. And Dominick
24 Mica's concern is potentially -- (Inaudible)
25 I won't get into anymore detail.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 72
1 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you.
2 MS. GIRIS: And we've received those
3 comments, as well, Mr. Chairman, and we will work with
4 Mr. Mica and Mr. Ellman to address them.
5 THE CHAIRMAN: Great, I appreciate that.
6 Now, when you're talking about the use of
7 the property, is this going to be 100 percent medical
8 offices?
9 MR. LEIBLER: That is our anticipation, that
10 the use will be 100 percent medical. We have pre-
11 COVID pandemic, we were in meaningful discussions with
12 a major hospital user. Those conversations have been
13 silent for the last 45 days only for the obvious
14 reasons that they all have their hands full. We
15 expect those conversations to resume during the month
16 of June.
17 It is clear that the 44,500-square-foot
18 building is required by them as they go through their
19 planning and programming. They will let us know
20 whether or not they're needs extend to the 8,700-foot
21 annex building. It would be our plan to have that
22 building used either by the hospital system or by
23 another user, medical, but perhaps it might not. It
24 could be rented to someone else for a period of time,
25 and hopefully the hospital system would grow into it,
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 73
1 if not initially, then perhaps over time.
2 MS. GIRIS: And just to add a little bit to
3 that, and, Guy, you can correct me if I'm wrong but,
4 yes, 100 percent medical use, but with some accessory
5 medical things. I think we're anticipated to have a
6 pharmacy in the building for patients of the building,
7 as well as just probably ancillary cafe space for
8 people who are in the building.
9 THE CHAIRMAN: But nothing of the nature of
10 the Boyce Thompson where you have full restaurants or
11 anything like that; correct?
12 MR. LEIBLER: No, this is a different
13 thought, this would not include retail to the public,
14 this would be medical offices but with any ancillary
15 services, as Janet said, perhaps a pharmacy for
16 internal use, a cafe for internal use. And it would
17 be our intention for the annex building to be medical
18 initially, but perhaps it may not be.
19 THE CHAIRMAN: Now, the parking structure,
20 is it anticipated in your mind that that would be used
21 by the employees and that the visitors and patients
22 would be using the outdoor lots?
23 MR. LEIBLER: The final decision would be up
24 to the occupants as to how they want to space their
25 parking. We would imagine that visitors and handicap
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 74
1 would certainly be closest to the building, but we
2 would leave it to the occupant to determine where and
3 how staff would park during the day. We just want to
4 make sure there's enough parking to accommodate
5 anybody that would arrive at the building.
6 THE CHAIRMAN: Because I'm also looking at
7 the pedestrian flow from the parking structure to the
8 main building or annex, should that be a high-traffic
9 area for patients; access and crosswalks, and items
10 like that.
11 I'm also wondering if the off-hours, two
12 concerns, parking in that area, parking is tight at
13 several off site. One is the use of the train
14 station. I know that people park along Scarsdale Road
15 and walk to the station, as well as wherever they can
16 find a place to park. I know parking is very tight at
17 the restaurants there, especially across the street at
18 Old Stone Mill, parking is also an issue with the
19 residential tower. Is there any thought to using
20 after-hour parking with any of those businesses?
21 MR. LEIBLER: It has not been brought up as
22 a subject to us. It's something that certainly we can
23 give some consideration to. As you know, we're always
24 trying to be a good neighbor, so it's something we can
25 take under advisement.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 75
1 THE CHAIRMAN: My concern with that only is
2 crosswalks, and if we need to think in the future
3 whether or not to accommodate that type of foot
4 traffic going across. We certainly don't want them
5 just walking down crossing Scarsdale Road at any
6 random point.
7 All right, I asked a lot of questions.
8 Members of the Board, do we have questions out there?
9 MS. FORSBERG: I don't have any questions
10 right now, Roman, you asked the few that I had. I
11 think this is a great project, a great redevelopment
12 for that site, but I'm sure I'll have questions in
13 future meetings, but I think this is really good and I
14 look forward to it. It's a ray of sunshine in this
15 apocalypse, so it's good to see this.
16 THE CHAIRMAN: Certainly, something to look
17 forward to in the future when we get out of this.
18 All right, other members of the Board, no
19 questions?
20 MS. LANDI: No.
21 THE CHAIRMAN: Staff?
22 MR. ELLMAN: No, thank you.
23 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, thank you very much.
24 And, as was mentioned, we're looking forward to
25 working with you on this project.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 76
1 MS. GIRIS: Thank you.
2 MR. LEIBLER: Thank you. We look forward to
3 working with you, as well.
4 MS. O'NEILL: Thank you.
5 MR. FINAN: Thank you.
6 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you.
7 All right, Item number 11 has been held over
8 at the request of the applicant. There will be no
9 action tonight on Item number 11, which was the
10 property known as Prospect Street, Buena Vista Avenue,
11 and Hawthorne Avenue.
12 That leaves us with one item, Item number
13 12.
14 MS. LANDI: Number 10.
15 THE CHAIRMAN: What happened to 10? I don't
16 know what happened here, I missed it. I got it.
17 Item number 10, if we can unmute James
18 Wilson and any representatives for that item.
19 Item number 10 is site plan review for the
20 installation of a new above ground fuel oil storage
21 tank at Block 2500, Lot 1 on the property known as 679
22 Warburton Avenue pursuant to Article IX of the
23 Yonkers Zoning Ordinance.
24 James Wilson, representative for the
25 proposal.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 77
1 MR. WILSON: Yes, good evening. First off,
2 can you all hear me?
3 MS. LANDI: Yes.
4 THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, we can, we can hear you.
5 MR. WILSON: First off, good evening, I hope
6 everyone is safe and healthy, Mr. Chairman and members
7 of the Board. My name is James Wilson. I'm actually
8 under the name Elaine, our IT people are out.
9 THE CHAIRMAN: Your secret is safe with us,
10 don't worry.
11 MR. WILSON: Dr. -- (inaudible) is present
12 this evening, as well as Stacy Hinson, who is Board
13 President for Hudson Court, as well as Mr. Dave Amster
14 and Mr. Chris Barry(ph.), they are with Prime
15 Locations, they are the property management company.
16 So, this is the site that formerly had a
17 5,000-gallon underground storage tank for petroleum
18 located in the rear of the building; however, this was
19 the infamous property where there was that mudslide in
20 2014, so we had to install an emergency 2,000-gallon
21 above-ground storage tank to act as a source of
22 heating oil for the boiler.
23 So, what East Coast Environmental is doing
24 is we are proposing to install a new 5,000 gallon
25 above-ground storage tank to be located in the rear of
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 78
1 the building, which is the building adjacent to the
2 southwest corner. The proposed location of the tank
3 will be 10 feet from the building, as well as the
4 property line, the southern property line, as well as
5 the retaining wall. And, so, we're not going to be
6 requesting any variances or anything along those
7 lines.
8 The tank will be installed with up to the
9 codes and regulations of the New York State DEC,
10 that's NYCRR 613, for petroleum-bulk storage and up to
11 code with the Westchester County Department of Health,
12 the Yonkers Fire Department, as well as the Building
13 Department.
14 The north and west entry to the tank will be
15 protected from vehicular traffic with bollards and
16 highway-rated rail guards. And the south and east of
17 the tank will be protected by the retaining walls
18 which are currently already in place. As for the tank
19 operation, it will just be standard.
20 And that's really it. If you have any
21 questions, if either Stacy, David, or Chris have
22 anything to add, they're more than welcome to, and I
23 would be pleased to answer any questions that you may
24 have.
25 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you very much. Members
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 79
1 of the Board, questions?
2 MS. LANDI: No.
3 THE CHAIRMAN: Staff, Lee, anything?
4 MR. ELLMAN: Just a note to the Planning
5 Board, we did initially send out a note to you
6 suggesting that we needed more information. The site
7 plan was very specific to the immediate area around
8 the tank. The applicant solved our concern by simply
9 getting us some pictures.
10 The tank is being moved from the front side
11 yard essentially straight back to the rear of the
12 site, the pictures that you sent show. And then it
13 will be in a small rear yard, essentially out of view.
14 It will be a visible above-ground tank. Our
15 perspective on it is that it will not really be
16 visible or a problem to the neighbors and it is, while
17 perhaps not beautiful, it is a necessity to the co-op
18 that is installing it, so there are certainly no
19 further concerns right now.
20 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, thank you, Lee.
21 If there are no other questions, then -- I'm
22 sorry, did someone have a question?
23 MR. LARKIN: No.
24 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, then let's move on. I
25 believe we will need a, we're the Lead Agency, we need
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 80
1 a SEQRA. If I can get a motion for a negative
2 declaration as to SEQRA on this.
3 MS. LANDI: Negative declaration, Mr.
4 Chairman.
5 THE CHAIRMAN: So moved by Ms. Landi.
6 Seconded by, somebody? Gene.
7 MR. JOHNSON: Second.
8 THE CHAIRMAN: Gene, okay.
9 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, proposed by Ms. Landi,
10 seconded by Mr. Johnson. All in favor, please
11 indicate by saying aye.
12 (A chorus of ayes.)
13 THE CHAIRMAN: That passes unanimously.
14 Now, a resolution on the item itself.
15 MS. LANDI: Mrs. Landi will read it.
16 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you.
17 MS. LANDI: Mr. Chairman, this is a
18 resolution to approve the site plan for the proposed
19 5,000-gallon above-ground fuel storage tank at Block
20 2500, Lot 1 on the property known as 679 Warburton
21 Avenue pursuant to Article IX of the Yonkers Zoning
22 Ordinance.
23 The Planning Board finds the following.
24 1. On April 30, 2014, the building had a
25 failure of retaining walls located on the steep slope
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 81
1 to the rear western edge of the property causing a
2 landslide along the edge of the property. At that
3 time, the building had an underground tank located
4 dangerously close to the landslide. After
5 consultation with the Building Department, the Fire
6 Department, Westchester County, it was determined that
7 the underground tank be drained and removed and a
8 2000-gallon temporary above-ground tank be placed in
9 the front yard.
10 2. In 2015, the Zoning Board of Appeals
11 reviewed and approved the height variance
12 and replacement of the collapsed retaining walls. On
13 July 8, 2015, the Planning Board also reviewed and
14 approved the site plans for the replacement of the
15 wall.
16 3. The current application to the Board is
17 for the replacement of that temporary storage tank in
18 the front yard. The new tank will be removed from the
19 side front of the building to the side rear of the
20 residential building, sheltered from the adjacent
21 property by a large retaining wall to the south and
22 surrounded by both bollards and highway barriers for
23 safety purposes on the remaining north and west sides.
24 It will remain above ground for safety and access
25 purposes and will not be visible from the street.
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings

1 The Planning Board at its meeting at May 13,
2 2020, hereby grants approval of this application with
3 the following conditions:
4 1. Any conditions of the previous Zoning
5 Board of Appeals approval are to remain in full force
6 and effect.
7 2. The Planning Board approves this site
8 plan application as presented and shown on the
9 drawings presented to the Board in the site plan
10 application materials. Any field changes or amendment
11 that triggers site plan review shall result in a new
12 site plan application.
13 The Planning Board renders its decision
14 based upon facts and findings available to it,
15 specifically;
16 1. Report by the Planning Bureau.
17 2. Report by the City Engineer.

2 of conditions. On behalf of the applicant, Elaine,
3 everything was understood and agreed upon, I assume
4 from the conditions?
5 MR. WILSON: Yes, absolutely.

21 THE CHAIRMAN: Moving onto Item number 11,
22 which I mentioned has been held over at the request of

Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings

1 preliminary, Item number 12, which is site plan review
2 for an amendment to the previously approved Charter
3 High School at Block 2106, Lots 30, 34, 36 & 39 on the
4 property known as 22-236 Warburton Avenue pursuant to
5 Article IX of the Yonkers Zoning Ordinance.
6 Steve Grosso is representative for the
7 proposal.
8 Before we go on, George, why am I getting
9 this feedback echo?
10 MR. KUNTZ: Do you hear it now?
11 THE CHAIRMAN: That's better. Did you do
12 anything?
13 MR. KUNTZ: I might have the -- I have it on
14 my regular computer.
15 THE CHAIRMAN: I don't hear it.
16 MR. KUNTZ: Do you hear anything now?
17 THE CHAIRMAN: Sounds like it's fine. It's
18 not a big deal, we can make it, we only have one item,
19 so let's fire through this.
20 Mr. Grosso, or representative.
21 MR. SCHIATTARELLA: Hi, this is Carlo. Hold
22 on a second.
23 This is Carlo Schiattarella. We presented,
24 at the last site planning meeting. There were no
25 questions, so we were waiting for a resolution for the
Diamond Reporting 877.624.3287 A Veritext Company www.veritext.com Proceedings
Page 86
1 school. I think it was contingent on the Zoning Board
2 approving our application, which they did a few days
3 ago at the last Board meeting.
4 THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, my understanding is we
5 were waiting for the Zoning, and Zoning has been
6 approved.
7 Members of the Board, any questions?
8 MS. FORSBERG: No.
9 THE CHAIRMAN: I take that as a no. Staff,
10 are we okay?
11 MR. ELLMAN: Yes.
12 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, does someone have the
13 resolution?
14 MS. FORSBERG: I have it.
15 THE CHAIRMAN: Mackenzie, I know you did the
16 other long one, but if you can take us home on this
17 one.
18 MS. FORSBERG: Okay.
19 THE CHAIRMAN: Actually, hold on, I think we
20 need to do a SEQRA on this; is that correct? Zoning
21 Board is Lead Agency; correct?
22 MR. NATCHEV: Yes, the Zoning Board.
23 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay, let's move right to the
24 resolution then.
25 Go ahead, Mackenzie. Thank you.

1 THE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Chairman, we have a
2 resolution to reapprove a site plan for a proposed new
3 high school, parking garage, and play field at Block
4 2106, Lots 30, 34, 36, and 38 on property known as
5 220-236 Warburton Avenue pursuant to Article IX of the
6 Yonkers Zoning Ordinance.
7 The Planning Board finds the following:
8 1. The proposed expansion of the Charter
9 School for Educational Excellence by the addition of a
10 high school building for approximately 400 students
11 with accessory parking and play field has received
12 required variances, including a second set of
13 variances required after discovery of several
14 additional site issues, and has been reviewed by the
15 Planning Board for site plan issues.
16 2. The proposed school will result in
17 changes to the traffic and pedestrian patterns in and
18 around its site, the corner of Lamartine and Warburton
19 Avenues, but these issues have been mitigated to the
20 greatest extent possible.
21 3. The applicant has worked with the City
22 Planning Bureau and the Traffic Engineering Division
23 of the Engineering Department to reduce all
24 transportation and traffic related issues at the
25 school site.

1 The site plan presented to the Planning
2 Board at its meeting of May 13, 2020 is approved with
3 the following conditions:
4 1. A final construction period and MPT plan
5 will be provided to the City Engineer prior to the
6 start of construction and will be subject to that
7 department's approval.
8 2. No prefabricated elements of the
9 building under construction may be stored on City of
10 Yonkers streets. Arrangements must be made to store
11 such elements in off-street locations.
12 3. The roadway at and around the
13 construction entrance will be swept and/or hosed down
14 daily, or more often if needed, to control dust and
15 materials on the roadway. Catch basins and sewers
16 will be protected from sedimentation as required by
17 State and City codes.
18 4. Traffic signal improvements - Warburton
19 Avenue and Lamartine Avenue. The current signal does
20 not have pedestrian signal provisions. These shall be
21 provided, warranting a full traffic signal upgrade
22 designed by the developer's traffic consultant and
23 paid for by the development.
24 5. Bike racks shall be provided on the
25 school site to accommodate anticipated use of for-hire

1 bikes by students taking buses to Getty Square, as
2 noted by the applicant.
3 The Planning Board renders its decision
4 based upon facts and findings available to it,
5 specifically:
6 1. Report by the Planning Bureau.
7 2. Report by the Engineering Department.
8 3. General knowledge of the area.
9 Mr. Chairman.
10 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you very much, Ms.
11 Forsberg.
12 Do I have a second on the resolution?
13 MR. LARKIN: Second.
14 THE CHAIRMAN: John Larkin, seconded. Thank
15 you.
16 To the applicant, you heard the proposed
17 resolution and the conditions, I assume they are all
18 understood and agreed upon; is that correct?
19 MR. SCHIATTARELLA: That's correct.
20 THE CHAIRMAN: Then I'll move to a vote.
21 All in favor of the resolution, please indicate by
22 saying aye.
23 (A chorus of ayes.)
24 THE CHAIRMAN: All oppose, nay.
25 That passes unanimously.
