Currently, residential uses are permitted as conditional uses within the district, but §270-20(C) only permits residential dwelling units above nonresidential uses, and no part of any residential unit can be located on the ground floor or in a basement. At a previous work session, we discussed potentially permitting residential units to be built within mixed- use buildings, multifamily buildings, single-family attached housing, two-family housing, or single-family detached housing. The various housing types would have different minimum lot areas depending on the housing type. The SP-N zoning district already contains a variety of housing types and lot sizes. Table 1 identifies the property, lot area, square footage of the building, and percentage of building coverage. 156 Route 59, Suite C6, Suffern, New York 10901 | 845.368.1472 | nelsonpopevoorhis.com Page 2 of 15  Secor Road Outreach 6/21/24 Table 1 Properties within the SP-N Zoning District Lot Area Percent (square Structure Area Building Use SBL feet) Acres (square feet) Coverage 97.07-1-2 1,417 0.03 722 51% 3 Family Unit 97.07-1-4 1,873 0.04 1,428 76% Two Family, Commercial on First Floor 97.07-1-5 2,431 0.06 1,213 50% Two Family, Commercial on First Floor 97.07-1-6 6,987 0.17 3,013 43% Two Family, Commercial on First Floor 97.07-1-14 8,791 0.2 5,470 62% Single Family Commercial on First Floor 97.07-1-22 1,607 0.04 886 55% Two Family 97.07-1-23 2,613 0.06 817 31% Two Family 97.07-1-24 2,647 0.06 787 30% Single Family 97.07-1-26 3,383 0.08 1,578 47% Two Family 97.07-1-28 2,362 0.05 692 29% 4 Apartment Units 97.07-1-34 6,062 0.14 935 15% Three family 97.07-1-35 801 0.02 676 84% Two Family 97.07-1-36 825 0.02 792 97% Two Family 97.07-1-40 1,508 0.03 1,209 80% 4 Apartment Units 97.07-1-41 1,985 0.05 894 45% Single Family 97.07-1-42 4,275 0.1 744 17% Two Family 97.07-1-43 1,609 0.04 967 60% Two Family Before coming back to the Board with proposed zoning, the Board agreed it would be important to get the input of the neighborhood first on what they would like to see. In addition, since this area will also be undergoing streetscaping and pedestrian improvements due to the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) funding and a new solar canopy will be installed in the adjoining parking lot, the Board thought we could obtain feedback on the DRI project and provide the community information on the solar canopy at the same time. We held an open house on June 6th from 2:00 pm – 8:00 pm and again on June 8th from 10:00am -12:00 pm at Here Coffee +Beer. We had over 75 people particiate and many more asked questions. Many of the participants were from the neighborhood. The following pages provides information on the feedback we received. Overall, people felt that smaller scale development is more appropriate and a mix of uses should continue to be allowed in the area. They wanted to see parking in the rear or internal to a building. The public also wanted to see outdoor dining opportunities, improvements to sidewalks, lighting and general greening of station plaza with planters or other plantings.

IF NEW DEVELOPMENT WERE TO OCCUR, WHAT TYPE OF PARKING LAYOUR DO YOU THINK WOULD BE BEST FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD? Parking in Front of the Building- 9 Votes Parking in Rear of the Building- 24 Votes Interior Parking/Garage on First Floor- 29 Votes Street Parking- 6 Votes Other ideas? What do you think would work best for the neighborhood? Add your post its here: - Would be good to minimize street and in front of building parking so those are free for other events and uses - Preferably as little parking as possible, this is right near a train. - What about an overnight pass system for neighborhood residents to use the train station lot during hours of least use? - Really a mix of parking in front, parking in rear, and street parking - We need parking for those who frequent businesses in the area - Boston is good example especially Brookline Condos with assigned outdoor parking in the back - Station parking should be partitioned to allow more daily/ hourly parking Station 2 – Residential and Commercial Visual Preferences ADD A STICKER TO THE USE AND STYLE OF THE BUILDINGS THAT YOU THINK SHOULD BE PERMITTED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Single Family Dwellings- 8 Votes Two Family Dwelling- 10 Votes Three Family Dwelling- 2 Votes Small Scale Apartment Building- 6 Votes Mixed Use, Commercial on Ground Floor- 33 Votes Townhouse Style Single Family Housing- 14 Votes 1 Page 4 of 15 Large Scale Apartment Building- 2 Vote Adaptive Reuse of Residential for Commercial- 5 Votes Small Scale Commercial Building- 26 Votes Other ideas? What would you like to see in the SP-N Zone? Add a post it with your comments here: - No more large-scale apartment buildings (4) o Harbor Square was originally approved for small scale mixed use (2) - See new buildings built to look like the original style of main street buildings with some charm to them (3) - No single family (2) o It’s a waste of land near a transit hub - Housing over commercial (2) o Pedestrian friendly o Store without people is not sustainable and residents want shops in walking distance - Waterfront needs retail and dining, not a bunch of low-income housing that will not contribute anything to the local economy, not to mention that it will be: o An eye sore o And take up already limited parking space What we need is to emulate places like Tarry Town and Yonkers, whose waterfronts have been developed not only positively impacted the growth of the economy, but also has provided an enhanced public space and diversified the use of the waterfront by using creative programming to help it thrive year around. - Visit Yonkers riverwalk (do that) - Owners of properties should have an option to have either commercial or residential use on the first and second floor - Minimize three family dwellings or commercial on the first floor - Housing density must meet current street sizes, not a lot of services available on riverfront (ex: supermarkets, etc.) - Affordable artist housing like they have in Beacon and Peekskill is in demand in the artists community. People who work in New York are unable to afford housing in Westchester but still want to be close to the creative centers in New York City - Like the idea of balancing living and commercial buildings 2 Page 5 of 15 Station 3 – Placemaking The Village was awarded $857,000 under the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) to beautify the Station Plaza neighborhood. The Village of Ossining will implement a variety of streetscaping enhancements with the aim of creating a cohesive sense of place and enhancing the connections between the Ossining Metro-North Railroad Station, the Station Plaza neighborhood, the waterfront, and the Main Street corridor. The project location includes the following streets within the Station Plaza neighborhood: Lower Main Street, Water Street, South Water Street, Depot Plaza, and Quimby Street. Specifically, the enhancements may include: • Introduction of stamped asphalt on South Water Street, in recognition of its historic character, • Asphalt resurfacing along Secor Road and Lower Main Street, • Sidewalk widening and creation of outdoor dining areas along Depot Plaza and Lower Main Street, • Redesign of median landscaping, planting of new trees, repair of a retaining wall, and installation of decorative fencing at Village-owned parking lots. What amenities would you like to see within the area of the DRI project, and where? - Landscaping (8) o More greenery/ trees (3) o Median landscaping decorative fencing (2) o Landscaping coastal erosion adaptation o For natural cooling o Sound dampening - Sidewalk widening/repairs (8) - Benches and/or “fun” seating, like swings (5) o Area by Depot Square - Enhancements especially outdoor dining (4) - More public parking (4) o Non-train station parking spots (2) o More 2hr time parking ( as opposed to station spots) - Easier pedestrian access/ pedestrian only areas (4) - Signage (3) o Pointing to upper main street/ things to do o Large enough to read and clear enough to follow without needing to re-read the sign - No more housing schools are bursting at seams (3) - Beautiful lighting (3) - Public art (2) - Encourage tourism especially with Haverstraw ferry expansion and future Singsing museum- some places people can shop, eat, drink, when visiting (2) - Put pressure on landlords with empty storefronts - More small businesses - Bike racks 3 Page 6 of 15  - EV charger for cars, fast chargers promote visiting the area by new people, promoting business - Bring diverse groups to Ossining. All kinds of people- so we need more diverse retail, no more of what we have. Some new and innovative businesses, and young people so that they can bring new ideas to Ossining and help build our future. - Physical accessibility should be top priority. - More cohesive feeling - Nice cocktail place to sit and hang out - Community pool (outdoors) - No more trees in the area, because the Village doesn’t prune them back - No more benches - Stamped asphalt seems like a meager “enhancement” and asphalt resurfacing should come from a different foundation source- it’s routine maintenance. But replacing asphalt with cobble or brick could add character and clam traffic - No outdoor dining of taking away parking - Resurface everything - Repair retaining wall - Bike lanes - Bus stop for shuttle from waterfront to Main Street - Information kiosk on “what to do” in Ossining up the hill - Townhomes/ apartment complex with garages - Permeable asphalt to prevent water build-up/ runoff is necessary down here - One-way streets - Traffic study on congestion - Walking path down Westerly Ave over bridge and back to other bridge/ waterfront Station 3 – Station Plaza Streetscaping ADD A STICKER IF YOU LIKE THE STREETSCAPING ELEMENT: Benches/Seating- 9 Votes Sidewalk Improvements- 17 Votes Lighting- 27 Votes Outdoor Dining Areas- 38 Votes Crosswalks- 2 Vote Bike racks- 10 Votes Tables- 7 Votes 4 Page 7 of 15 Greenspace/Sidewalk Plantings- 30 Votes Public Art- 28 Votes Other ideas? What uses would you like to see in the Station Plaza Streetscaping Project? Add a post it the use name/description here: - Work with Bethany Arts community or Arts Westchester for creation of public art (7) - No more benches (3) o Unless they are sectioned benches (2) - No hostile architecture - Basically all the above on the streetscape examples here, but lighting should be shielded for minimal light pollution/ wildlife interference - Plantings should incorporate green infrastructure/ stormwater management - More friendly safer outdoor dining, not just parking spaces (ex: Peekskill) - Atrium space with bars - Retractable stage - Book/ art stalls - Small theater to use for local productions by local artists - Good management team to ensure successful implementation of waterfront - Addressing homelessness instead of removing benches - Likes the idea of large scale public art but the budget for up keep is a concern - Likes public art and it can draw artists from other areas when there’s large scale public art installations - Additional EV charging stations especially on east side - Would prefer to see public art in a designated area instead of throughout the town unless is within a context of cultural identity - Tables offer places to sit would be helpful 5 Page 8 of 15 MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT, made by and between the HUDSON VALLEY REGIONAL COUNCIL, INC.
