Public Comments Mr. Clark Shepard of 144 River Road thanked the Board for their service and stated he was here on behalf of the residents in the neighborhood surrounding 600 Albany Post Road. He stated they opposed the proposal and urged the Board to reject it. Ms. Kate Roberts, representing the Applicant stated they were working on responding to questions raised by the Board, Consultants and the Public and urged the Board to refer the application to the Planning Board for review. Mr. Gallo Ophir of 24 Country Club Lane stated there was a lot of traffic in the area and a commercial space would worsen that. He stated it was currently a nice, quiet, dark space at night and the proposal was not in character with the neighborhood. Mr. Joel Motley of 409 Scarborough Road stated the proposal struck him as a bad idea and asked if there was a proposal for the Philips property. He urged the Board to allow for affordable housing and cluster type development to reduce the environmental impacts. Mr. Gary Lyons of 169 Scarborough Road stated the Route 9 Corridor was mostly residential from Tarrytown to Briarcliff Manor and that should be considered. Mr. Ken Kail of 200 River Road stated he was against the proposal because it exceeded the lot coverage and a residential use made more sense. Ms. Lois Kroll of 24 Creighton Lane stated she moved here for the tranquil environment and there was no need for self-storage. Mr. John Glascott of River Road stated there was a fatality on Route 9 over the weekend and this would worsen traffic. 2 Award of Bid – Fire Department UTV Upon motion by Trustee Hunt, seconded by Trustee Wilson, the Board voted unanimously to approve the following resolution: WHEREAS the Village received 1 bid for the Fire Department UTV (VM-1819- 13); and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the bid for the Fire Department UTV (VM-1819-13); is hereby awarded to Herman’s Performance with their bid proposal of $26,208.98 which will be charged to budget code H.3410.201.18217.
