Re: Pleasantville Road Streetscape Study
Landscape Design, Planning, and Cost Estimating Services
Dear Mayor Sullivan and Mr. Zegarelli,
We are very pleased that you are considering RGR Landscape to provide planning and
design services for the Pleasantville Road Streetscape Study in Briarcliff Manor. The
project area includes the commercial corridor along Pleasantville Road beginning
essentially at Village Hall and extending northwesterly to the íntersection with North
State Road. Based on my understanding of the project as a result of the recent public
meeting, we have prepared the following scope of work and fee proposal for your
consideration.
1.0 Project Parameters
We understand that the Village is seeking professional assistance in (1)
documenting and assessing streetscape conditions along Pleasantville Road; (2)
identifying the important issues in terms of the condition and appearance of the
various streetscape elements as well as pedestrian safety; and (3) developing
appropriate recommendations and an implementat¡on strategy for streetscape
enhancement. ln addition, we understand that the scope of work should address
the land ownership issue and develop a strategy for implementing the needed
streetscape improvements on portions of properties that are privately owned as
well as on publicly owned property. R OÉ,.)f!ì-. / :ìOtSC:'r,SiA .11/\
/\ì'r /,{ fll\¡i' li lìA
To that end, we believe our unique workshop process will be especially relevant
and useful for this project as a vehicle for engaging public participation and
gathering input as well as for discussing the land ownership issue. These interactive
workshops, which we have used for many similar public projects, are very efficient
forums for establishing goals, identifying important issues, setting priorities, and
evaluating alternatives as part of an overall planning and design process. These
working sessions will be a convenient and effective means by which we can work
WV'/!V ìIGRI ANI]SCAPT COM
RGR La,ntlscape
with the Streetscape Committee to assess existing conditions, identify and consider
potential opt¡ons, and reach consensus on the most appropriate program of
improvements to meet the goal of providing a safe, comfortable, and attractive
pedestrian environment for all users. ln addition, as recommended, our scope of
work includes an initial site walk with the Streetscape Committee as well as visits to
several nearby communities to compare and evaluate other streetscape projects
with respect to the issues and problems that we identify in Briarcliff Manor.
2.0 Project Team
The project team we propose for this project includes the architectural and
landscape design staff of RGR Landscape; Sarah Yackel, Principal of BFJ Planning to
provide coordination and input regarding the land ownership and other planning
issues; and Bob deBruin of deBruin Engineering to provide input regarding site
utilities and cost estimating. RGR staff who may be involved with the project
include:
o Geoffrey Roesch, AlA, ASLA, LEED AP ND, Principal-in-Charge
o Tanya Moran, RA, PrincipalaA/aC
o Sid Burke, ASLA, Senior Associate, Senior Landscape Architect
o Wan-Li Fang, RA, Architectural/ Landscape Designer
o Carrie Eastman, LEEP AP, Landscape Designer
o Yan Wang, Landscape Designer
3.0 Scope of Services
t. Task l: Data Gathering, Programming
a. Site Visit and Tour of Comparable Streetscape Projects: Members of the
consultant team along with members of the Streetscape Committee will
walk the project site to discuss the existing conditions and develop a
preliminary list of issues and problems. ln addition, the consultants and the
comm¡ttee will tour several nearby communities to develop a common
understanding of comparable streetscape enhancement projects and
evaluate the relative degrees of success, identify any new and interesting
materials and design strategies, and determine those features that may be
applicable to the Pleasantville Road commercial corridor.
b. lnventory and Analysis: The consultant team will conduct site
reconnaissance and research to develop general site, context and user
Briarcliff Manor Streetscape Proposal, IO /19/ 16 Page2
Rülì [,i.uxlsca¡re
information. Using existing mapping, a set of project base maps will be
prepared at an appropriate scale to record and assess the information.
(1) Background Research: Any existing relevant information, including
previous reports, studies, and construction documents will be
reviewed,
(2) Context: lssues relevant to the project will be identified including
access and circulation, land use, existing streetscape elements, and
genera I neigh borhood context.
(3) Site Conditions: lmportant existing features will be identified and
documented including the width and condition of sidewalks, the
location of visible utilities structures, bus stops, street trees, benches,
and any other relevant existing conditions information;
(4) Regulatory lssues: Pertinent AASHTO and ADA Standards, applicable
codes, and environmental regulations will be identified as well as the
requirements for any necessary permits and approvals.
c. Workshop l: During Task l, at the discretion of the Village, appropriate
members of the community, including residents, merchants, and public
officials, will be identified and invited to participate as part of an ongoing
Streetscape Committee. Once the working group has been assembled, the
consultant team will conduct the first of two interactive workshops. The
workshop will begin with a review and discussion of the site walk and the
tour of comparable projects as well as the inventory and data gathering
work completed to date. The land ownership situation and potential
problems will also be defined. With a common understanding of previous
studies, existing conditions, land ownership, and regulatory issues, the
workshop participants will then be encouraged to establish goals, identify
the important issues, create a "wish list" of possible improvements,
determine basic design parameters, and set priorities for the project.
d. Program: Based on the data gathering effort and the results of the first
workshop, a preliminary summary of possible streetscape improvements
will then be developed for the project area. This summary will form the
basic programmatic outline for the design effort.
e. Products: The results of Task l will be summarized in a brief working report.
2. Task ll: Conceptual Desisn

a. Alternatives: Utilizing the results of the inventory and analysis work, we will
identifu and evaluate the various options with regard to regulatory issues,
cost/benefit implications, user needs, community concerns, aesthetic
considerations, and for conducting public improvements on private
property. The most promising options will then be assembled as alternative
plans. Each alternative (up to three) will be illustrated along with its relative
merits, p rob le ms, a nd order-of-magn itude costs.
b Workshop ll: The alternatives will then be presented and reviewed at a
second workshop. The same group of workshop participants will consider
each alternative in light of the goals and priorities that were established at
the outset. Each alternative will be presented and evaluated with respect
to its relative merits, potential impacts, constructability, permitting
requirements, and cost. After a thorough review and discussion, the
workshop partic¡pants will reach consensus on the preferred alternative,
which may be one of the alternatives presented or a combination of
featu res from several a lternatives.
3. Task lll: Presentation Graphics
a. Review Meeting: Following the second workshop, the consultant team will
meet with the Village project team to review the results and to determine
any changes or adjustments that should be made to the preferred
alternative priorto the preparation of final drawings.
b. Products: A rendered site plan wíll be prepared to illustrate the important
features of the preferred alternative. The illustrative plan will be
accompanied by supporting sketches and up to three photo-simulations of
selected street views as well as a conceptual-level cost estimate based on
the preferred vocabulary of streetscape elements.
c. Public Meeting: The preferred streetscape plan will then be presented to
the commun¡ty at a public meeting.

The Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees
of the Village of Briarcliff Manor, New York
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of cash receipts, cash disbursements and cash balances
of the Village Justice Court of the Village of Briarcliff Manor, New York, as of and for the year ended May
31,2016, and the related note to the financial statement.
Managemenf's Respo nsibility for the Financial Statement
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this financial statement in
accordance with the basis of accounting described in Note 1; this includes determining that the cash
basis of accounting is an acceptable basis for the preparation of the financial statements in the
circumstances. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of
internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or erro
Au ditors' Responsi b i I ity
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statement is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statement. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to fraud or
error. ln making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statement.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.

Village Justice Court
Note to Financial Statement
Mav 31 .2016
Note I - Summarv of Siqnificant Accountinq Policies
A. Basis of Accounting
This financial statement was prepared on the basis of cash receipts and cash disbursements in
conformity with the accounting principles prescribed in the New York State Handbook for Town
and Village Justices, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted
accountiñg principles. Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when cash is
received and expenditures are recognized when cash is disbursed'
B. Deposits and Risk Disclosures
Cash and Equivalents - Cash and equivalents consist of funds deposited in demand deposit
accounts, time deposit accounts and certificates of deposit with original maturities of less than
three months.
The Village Justice Court's deposits and investment policies follow the Village of Briarcliff Manor,
New York's policies. The Village's investment policies are governed by state statutes. The
Village has adopted its own written investment policy which provides for the deposit of funds in
FDIC insured commercial banks or trust companies located within the state. The Village is
authorized to use demand deposit accounts, time deposit accounts and certificates of deposit.
Permissible investments include obligations of the U.S. Treasury, U.S, Agencies and obligations
of New York State or its political divisions, and accordingly, the Village's policy provides for no
credit risk on investments.
Collateral is required for demand deposit accounts, time deposit accounts and certificates of
deposit at 1OO% of all deposits not covered by Federal deposit insurance. The Village has
entered into custodial agreements with the various banks which hold their deposits. These
agreements authorize the obligations that may be pledged as collateral. Such obligations
inólude, among other instruments, obligations of the United States and its agencies and
obligations of the State and its municipal and school district subdivisions.
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Village's deposits may not
be returned to it. GASB Statement No. 40 directs that deposits be disclosed as exposed to
custodial credit risk if they are not covered by depository insurance and the deposits are either
uncollateralized, collateralized by securities held by the pledging financial institution or
collateralized by securities held by the pledging financial institution's trust department but not in
the Village's name. The Village's aggregate bank balances that were not covered by depository
insurance were not exposed to custodial credit risk at May 31 ,2016'
The Village was invested only in the above mentioned obligations and, accordingly, was not
exposed to any interest rate or credit risk.
