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 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 four (4) generators and two (2)
replacement chillers at the existing Sha Data Center at 333 South Highland
Avenue. The Facility is a pre-existing nonconforming use within the CT-5 district
and the proposed site modifications require the Facility to seek a Special Permit
pursuant Village Code §220-M.(2)(c). Minimal external site modifications are
proposed for the installation and operation of the Proposed Project on the Project
Site.
2. The proposed generators will be sized to provide power to the Facility in the
event of a loss of power and will be individually tested once per month for a 15-
minute period (total of 1-hr for all four) on a weekday and/or Saturday between
the hours of 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM in compliance with the Village Noise
Ordinance.
3. Generator fuel storage tanks will be specified and maintained in compliance with
all federal, state and local regulations.
4. The replacement chillers (2) will provide the required cooling capacity for the
critical data hall equipment load of 1.5 MW. The two (2) proposed chillers are
each sized for 500 tons and will replace the two existing 250-ton chillers. One
500-ton chiller is required for operation to maintain the required cooling
redundancy. The anticipated operation will be two chillers, each operating at half
capacity for optimal energy efficiency.
5. 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
7
appropriate and orderly development of the CT-5 zoning district in which the
Facility is located.
6. The location, nature, and height of the generators and chillers and the nature and
extent of the landscaping and screening existing on the site are such that the
Facility does not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of
adjacent land and buildings.
7. 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.
8. The character, intensity, size, and location of the Facility is generally in harmony
with the orderly development of the CT-5 zoning district in which the Project Site
is located and will not be detrimental to the orderly development of adjacent
districts.
9. 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.
10. The noise analysis for the Project demonstrated compliance with the Village
Noise Ordinance at all property lines.
11. 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.
12. The Facility and its existing operations and improvements on the site under the
Proposed Site Plan is and will be harmonious with the CT-5 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.
13. The applicable conditions and standards for Special Permit Use set forth in
Village Code §220–6M.(2)(c) 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 Special Permit, the Data Storage special permit
is conditioned and contingent on the Village Planning Board approval of the
Proposed Site Plan in the form set forth in Sheet C3 “Site Plan” prepared by James
J. Hahn Engineering PC, 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
8

3. Following installation of the proposed generators and replacement chillers, the
Village, at the Applicant’s expense. will conduct on-site noise measurements with
the generators and chillers running at the property line to ensure that the sound
levels presented in Sheet C5 “Sound Level Plan” are accurate and in conformance
with the Village Noise Ordinance. If the Village finds that the sound levels are in
excess of Village requirements (65 dBA at the property line), the Applicant will work
with the Village to develop additional noise mitigation measures. Implementation of
additional measures may require an amendment to this special permit and
amended site plan approval.
4. 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 Data Storage Special Permit, the Proposed Site Plan Amendment, and
any matter incidental to any of the same shall be paid the before the Data Storage

Village Code and as set forth in the Site Plan, with regular, repeated, or continued
