RESOLVED, the Board of Trustees finds that: 1. The Project will result in the addition of approximately 710 square feet of retail space within the existing 38,000 square foot Morrell Wine Facility for the retail sale of high-end wine and liquor subject to all state licensing requirements. The Facility currently operates under an existing special permit as a “Specialty Warehouse” under Village Code §220-6 M(2)(o) within the CT2 Complimentary Transition District.

The Facility’s use of its property and location(s) on the site, the nature and intensity of the operations and traffic in connection with it, the size of the site in relation to it, and the location of the site with respect to the type, arrangement, and capacity of streets giving access to it are in satisfactory harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the CT2 zoning district in which the Facility is located. 3. The location, nature, and height of the existing building and the limited exterior improvements proposed on the Project are such that the Facility 6 does not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land and buildings. 4. The Facility’s operations are not more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, lighting, than would be the operations of any permitted use on the site not requiring a special permit. 5. Parking areas are of adequate size for the Facility’s use of the site, properly located, and suitably screened from any adjoining residential uses. 6. The character, intensity, size, and location of the Facility is generally in harmony with the orderly development of the CT2 zoning district in which the Project Site is located and will not be detrimental to the orderly development of adjacent districts. 7. The Facility’s operations and improvements on the site under the Proposed Site Plan will not impair the use, enjoyment, or value of adjacent residential properties. 8. The nature and intensity of the Facility and the traffic generated by it is not especially hazardous, incongruous, or detrimental to the prevailing character of the neighborhood and the Project. 9. The Facility and its existing operations and improvements on the site under the Proposed Site Plan is and will be harmonious with the CT2 district in which it is located, does not and will not create undue pedestrian or vehicular traffic hazards, and does not and will not include any display of signs, noise, fumes, or lights that will hinder the normal development of the district or impair the use, enjoyment and value of adjacent land and buildings. 10. The applicable conditions and standards for Special Permit Use set forth in Village Code §220–6M(2)(o)[1]-[20] have been met. 11. The hours of operation of the retail portion of the Facility would be Monday through Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with the warehouse operating between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, and the ancillary office operations between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday but in no case shall the Facility operate beyond the hours of 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM, or as further limited by the Planning Board or Board of Trustees.

Except as otherwise set forth in these conditions, no change shall be made on the site to add an improvement or to change the footprint or location of any improvement shown on the Proposed Site Plan Amendment approved by the Village Planning Board (“Site Plan”) unless approval for the addition or change is obtained from the Village Planning Board under Village Code §220–14. 3. All applicable fees, charges, and reimbursements charged to Applicant by the Village on the Village’s review and determination of the Application, the Proposed Action, the Proposed Specialty warehouse Special Permit, the Proposed Site Plan Amendment, and any matter incidental to any of the same shall be paid the before the Specialty Warehouse Special Permit takes effect.

RESOLVED, the Board of Trustees has reviewed the studies provided pursuant to § 220-6.D and has determined that the Proposed Project will not result in significant impacts to the Village; and RESOLVED, in accordance with Article 8 of the State Environmental Conservation Law and 6 NYCRR Part 617, and based upon the review of the Short EAF Parts 1, 2 and 3 and all other application materials that were prepared for this action, the Board of Trustees hereby adopts a Negative Declaration for the Proposed Action and determines that the Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse impact upon the environment as it will not have an adverse impact upon the character of the area, nor will it result in an adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water quality or quantity, traffic or noise levels, or result in a material conflict with the Village’s current plans or goals. RESOLVED, the Board of Trustees finds that: 1. The Project will result in the addition of approximately 710 square feet of retail space within the existing 38,000 square foot Morrell Wine Facility for the retail sale of high-end wine and liquor subject to all state licensing requirements. The Facility currently operates under an existing special permit as a “Specialty Warehouse” under Village Code §220-M(2)(0) within the CT2 Complimentary Transition District. Minimal external modifications to the previously approved site plans associated with the Specialty Warehouse Special Permit are required to accommodate the retail space primarily related to wayfinding and signage to be finalized as part of Site Plan review by the Planning Board. 2. The Facility’s use of its property and location(s) on the site, the nature and intensity of the operations and traffic in connection with it, the size of the site in relation to it, and the location of the site with respect to the type, arrangement, and capacity of streets giving access to it are in satisfactory 8 harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the CT2 zoning district in which the Facility is located. 3. The location, nature, and height of the existing building and the limited exterior improvements proposed on the Project are such that the Facility does not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land and buildings. 4. The Facility’s operations are not more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, lighting, than would be the operations of any permitted use on the site not requiring a special permit. 5. Parking areas are of adequate size for the Facility’s use of the site, properly located, and suitably screened from any adjoining residential uses. 6. The character, intensity, size, and location of the Facility is generally in harmony with the orderly development of the CT2 zoning district in which the Project Site is located and will not be detrimental to the orderly development of adjacent districts. 7. The Facility’s operations and improvements on the site under the Proposed Site Plan will not impair the use, enjoyment, or value of adjacent residential properties. 8. The nature and intensity of the Facility and the traffic generated by it is not especially hazardous, incongruous, or detrimental to the prevailing character of the neighborhood and the Project. 9. The Facility and its existing operations and improvements on the site under the Proposed Site Plan is and will be harmonious with the CT2 district in which it is located, does not and will not create undue pedestrian or vehicular traffic hazards, and does not and will not include any display of signs, noise, fumes, or lights that will hinder the normal development of the district or impair the use, enjoyment and value of adjacent land and buildings. 10. The applicable conditions and standards for Special Permit Use set forth in Village Code §220–6M.(2)(0)i.-xx. have been met. 11. The hours of operation of the retail portion of the Facility would be Monday through Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with the warehouse operating between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, and the ancillary office operations between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday but in no case shall the Facility operate beyond the hours of 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM, or as further limited by the Planning Board or Board of Trustees. 9 RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees imposes the following conditions on the issuance of an Amended Special Permit to the Facility: 1. Except as otherwise set forth in these conditions or approved by the Board of Trustees in an amendment to the Amended Special Permit, the Morrell Specialty Warehouse special permit is conditioned and contingent on the Village Planning Board approval of the Proposed Site Plan in the form set forth in drawing C-100 “Site Layout Plan” prepared by JMC, as may be modified by the Planning Board during Site Plan review. 2. Except as otherwise set forth in these conditions, no change shall be made on the site to add an improvement or to change the footprint or location of any improvement shown on the Proposed Site Plan Amendment approved by the Village Planning Board (“Site Plan”) unless approval for the addition or change is obtained from the Village Planning Board under Village Code §220–14. 3. All applicable fees, charges, and reimbursements charged to Applicant by the Village on the Village’s review and determination of the Application, the Proposed Action, the Proposed Specialty warehouse Special Permit, the Proposed Site Plan Amendment, and any matter incidental to any of the same shall be paid the before the Specialty Warehouse Special Permit takes effect. RESOLVED, the Board of Trustees grants the Amended Special Permit to Morrell and Company the Wine Emporium, LTD in accordance with the provisions of Village Code §220–6 subject to the terms and conditions of this Resolution and to the Applicant’s: 1. Operation of the Facility in conformity with the requirements of the Village Code with regular, repeated, or continued deviations therefrom constituting a violation of the Amended Special Permit. 2. Use and improvement of the Project Site in conformity with the requirements of the Village Code and as set forth in the Site Plan, with regular, repeated, or continued deviations from the maintenance and improvement of the Project Site as set forth in the Site Plan constituting a violation of the Morrell Wine Facility Specialty Warehouse Special Permit. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the foregoing Resolution is hereby adopted. 10 Agency Use Only [If applicable] Project: Morrell Amended SUP Date: Short Environmental Assessment Form Part 2 - Impact Assessment Part 2 is to be completed by the Lead Agency.

Will the proposed action create a hazard to environmental resources or human health? ✔ PRINT FORM Page 1 of 2 11 Agency Use Only [If applicable] Project: Morrell Amended SUP Date: Short Environmental Assessment Form Part 3 Determination of Significance For every question in Part 2 that was answered “moderate to large impact may occur”, or if there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action may or will not result in a significant adverse environmental impact, please complete Part 3. Part 3 should, in sufficient detail, identify the impact, including any measures or design elements that have been included by the project sponsor to avoid or reduce impacts. Part 3 should also explain how the lead agency determined that the impact may or will not be significant. Each potential impact should be assessed considering its setting, probability of occurring, duration, irreversibility, geographic scope and magnitude. Also consider the potential for short- term, long-term and cumulative impacts. The proposed project consists of an amendment to an existing “Specialty Warehouse” Special Permit granted by the Village Board of Trustee ("BOT") on November 23, 2021 pursuant to Village Code §220-6M.(2)(o). The amendment to the Special Permit is to allow the addition of approximately 710 square feet of retail space within an existing 38,000 square foot specialty wine warehouse building. In making this determination, the BOT reviewed an EAF Part 1, Application for Amended Special Permit, Site Plan prepared by JMC, Traffic Narrative prepared by JMC, Tax Analysis prepared by JMC, and Drainage narrative, Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, and Site Utilities/Municipal Infrastructure Study prepared by JMC, all dated January 10, 2023. The proposed amendment to the Special permit is to allow a small retail space within the existing facility. Minimal external modifications to the previously approved site plans associated with the Specialty Warehouse Special Permit are required to accommodate the retail space primarily related to wayfinding and signage. The proposed project will not prevent the reasonable and orderly use of other properties in the area and the location of the proposed retail space will not hinder or discourage the appropriate and orderly development of the surrounding neighborhood. Further, the proposed amendment to the special permit will not impair the use, enjoyment and value of adjacent residential properties as the retail space is located in the front of the existing warehouse along the Albany Post Road frontage. Finally, the proposed retail space will have a beneficial economic impact on the Village, as the project will generate additional commercial tax dollars which has been a long-standing goal of the Village. Therefore, the Village of Briarcliff Manor Board of Trustees finds that the proposed project will not result in any potentially significant adverse environmental impacts. Check this box if you have determined, based on the information and analysis above, and any supporting documentation, that the proposed action may result in one or more potentially large or significant adverse impacts and an environmental impact statement is required. ✔ Check this box if you have determined, based on the information and analysis above, and any supporting documentation, that the proposed action will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts.

These items are approved prior to the rest of the Village budget because we need to publish our Spring/Summer program and permit information in a timely fashion. Spring program registration is scheduled to begin on Monday, March 20th, since we are launching a new registration software program, we would like to test it first with Spring Programs to work out any issues. On Monday, March 27th we would like to begin registering for Day Camp. Attached please find the Master Summer Recreation Fees. We are hoping that the Board can pass these proposed fees by resolution at their February 21st meeting, so that we can complete the preparation of our registration forms on our new registration software and get the Camp information posted to the Village website and out to the public before early next month. This year’s summer fee changes reflect a slight increase to our Day Camp fees. The Day Camp fee adjustments reflect an increase to supplies, trips and materials with inflation and also takes in consideration the absorption of pool fees for campers instead of charging them a separate fee to use the pool during the camp day. The fees for all of our day camps once again provide our participants with the choice to attend all 5 weeks, or pick any 3 or 4 weeks that they desire. The fees listed for Tree, Super and Camp Adventure are weekly fees, with rates for a 4-day week in our schedule (Week 2) and the 5-day weeks in our schedule (weeks 1, 3, 4 & 5), with all fees derived from a base rate of $60 per day or $10 an hour. Participants choosing weeks 2, 3, and 4, for example, would pay $840 for the 3 weeks they selected. If they attended weeks 3, 4 and 5, the fee would be $900. They are a bit higher as we do have an extra day of camp this year. Last year there were only 23 days of camp this year there will be 24 days. The fees for Camp Horizon, which travels 3 days a week for 5 weeks were adjusted for cost increases projected to be higher with inflation for both entrance fees, tickets and bus rentals. The fees proposed will enable us to continue to operate our overall Day Camp program meeting predictions for 2023/24 and our fees continue to be very reasonable when compared to the majority of other camp options that are available to our residents. Thank you for your time and attention in this matter. Please let me know if you have any comments, questions or concerns. 20 VILLAGE OF BRIARCLIFF MANOR BOARD OF TRUSTEES AGENDA FEBRUARY 21, 2023 7.

Amended Special Permit EAF, Part 2 prepared by Village Planning Consultants. 5. Presentations and statements made at the Public Hearing(s). RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees, having heard no objections from the other Involved Agencies, hereby declares itself Lead Agency for the environmental review of the Proposed Action pursuant to the requirements of SEQRA and Part 617 (6NYRR Part 617), the Statewide implementing regulations pertaining to SEQRA. RESOLVED, the Board of Trustees has reviewed the studies provided pursuant to § 220-6.D and has determined that the Proposed Project will not result in significant impacts to the Village; and RESOLVED, in accordance with Article 8 of the State Environmental Conservation Law and 6 NYCRR Part 617, and based upon the review of the Short EAF Parts 1, 2 and 3 and all other application materials that were prepared for this 32 action, the Board of Trustees hereby adopts a Negative Declaration for the Proposed Action and determines that the Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse impact upon the environment as it will not have an adverse impact upon the character of the area, nor will it result in an adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water quality or quantity, traffic or noise levels, or result in a material conflict with the Village’s current plans or goals. RESOLVED, the Board of Trustees finds that: 1. The Project will result in the installation of a replacement generator at the existing Briarcliff Manor Center for Rehab and Nursing located at 620 Sleepy Hollow Road. The Facility currently operates under an existing special permit as a “[c]onvalescent or nursing home or homes for the aged” under Village Code §220-6(J)(7) within a R40B Single-family Residence District. Minimal external site modifications are proposed for the installation and operation of the Proposed Project on the Project Site. Namely, the Applicant proposes to remove an existing oil tank and install a new generator in a noise enclosure to the south of the existing building. Protective bollards are proposed around the generator to avoid physical damage to the generator from an existing service drive and landscaping around the generator is also proposed. 2. The proposed generator will be sized to provide power to the Facility for a minimum of 48 hours with a built-in diesel tank and has a power rating of 500 kiloWatts. The proposed generator will run for 30 minutes each week, similar to the existing generator. 3. The Facility’s use of its property and location(s) on the site, the nature and intensity of the operations and traffic in connection with it, the size of the site in relation to it, and the location of the site with respect to the type, arrangement, and capacity of streets giving access to it are in satisfactory harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the R40B zoning district in which the Facility is located. 4. The location, nature, and height of the generator and enclosure and the nature and extent of the landscaping and screening existing on the site and to be developed under the Proposed Site Plan are such that the Facility does not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land and buildings. 5. The Facility’s operations are not more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, lighting, than would be the operations of any permitted use on the site not requiring a special permit. 33 6. Parking areas are of adequate size for the Facility’s use of the site, properly located, and suitably screened from any adjoining residential uses, and the entrance and exit drives are laid out so as to achieve maximum safety. 7. The character, intensity, size, and location of the Facility is generally in harmony with the orderly development of the R40B zoning district in which the Project Site is located and will not be detrimental to the orderly development of adjacent districts. 8. The Facility’s operations and improvements on the site under the Proposed Site Plan will not impair the use, enjoyment, or value of adjacent residential properties. 9. The nature and intensity of the Facility and the traffic generated by it is not especially hazardous, incongruous, or detrimental to the prevailing residential character of the neighborhood and the Project will not change the capacity of the Facility or related traffic. 10. The Facility and its existing operations and improvements on the site under the Proposed Site Plan is and will be harmonious with the R40B district in which it is located, does not and will not create undue pedestrian or vehicular traffic hazards, and does not and will not include any display of signs, noise, fumes, or lights that will hinder the normal development of the district or impair the use, enjoyment and value of adjacent land and buildings. 11. The applicable conditions and standards for Special Permit Use set forth in Village Code §220–6J.(7) have been met. RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees imposes the following conditions on the issuance of an Amended Special Permit to the Facility: 1. Except as otherwise set forth in these conditions or approved by the Board of Trustees in an amendment to the Amended Special Permit, the Briarcliff Manor Center for Rehab and Nursing special permit is conditioned and contingent on the Village Planning Board approval of the Proposed Site Plan in the form set forth in drawing E2 “Electrical Power Site Plan” prepared by J.O. Ross Engineers, as may be modified by the Planning Board during Site Plan review. 2. Except as otherwise set forth in these conditions, no change shall be made on the site to add an improvement or to change the footprint or location of any improvement shown on the Proposed Site Plan Amendment approved by the Village Planning Board (“Site Plan”) unless approval for the addition 34 or change is obtained from the Village Planning Board under Village Code §220–14. 3. All applicable fees, charges, and reimbursements charged to Applicant by the Village on the Village’s review and determination of the Application, the Proposed Action, the Proposed Specialty warehouse Special Permit, the Proposed Site Plan Amendment, and any matter incidental to any of the same shall be paid the before the Specialty Warehouse Special Permit takes effect. RESOLVED, the Board of Trustees grants the Amended Special Permit to Sapphire HC Realty LLC in accordance with the provisions of Village Code §220–6 subject to the terms and conditions of this Resolution and to the Applicant’s: 1. Operation of the Facility in conformity with the requirements of the Village Code with regular, repeated, or continued deviations therefrom constituting a violation of the Amended Special Permit. 2. Use and improvement of the Project Site in conformity with the requirements of the Village Code and as set forth in the Site Plan, with regular, repeated, or continued deviations from the maintenance and improvement of the Project Site as set forth in the Site Plan constituting a violation of the Briarcliff Manor Center for Rehab and Nursing Special Permit.
