He noted the emergency RFP for garbage services which Mr. Scelza pulled together with such short notice from Westchester County. Mayor Mullen explained that under village law, applicants who earn site plan approval are given 120 days to gather construction drawings, financing and all agency approvals so they can pull a building permit and start construction. The only discretion we have is to give an applicant up to two 120-day extensions, for a total of 360 days. We did that, unanimously, in an effort to give them the time we could, even while urging them throughout the last year to resolve the various outstanding issues. The approval provided for the applicants of 101 Wolfs Lane site plan has expired. They will need to reapply for approval if they wish to move forward with the project. Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, October 22, 2019 Item # 7 – Public Comments Sanjay, a Life Scout in Troop 1 Pelham, presented his potential Eagle Scout project. One location he’s considering is at the Highbrook Highline. There's a section where the brook, which is underground, floods. He’s thinks that by putting either a rock bed, to prevent erosion, or a bridge over so visitors can walk over without having to worry about getting muddy. He noted that no heavy machinery would be required. Mayor Mullen said once he sorts out a timeline and more detailed terms, he can come back to the Board of Trustees for project approval. Susan Mutti of Connecticut spoke about her disappointment in the proposed project at 101 Wolfs Lane not proceeding especially in relation to municipal lot 7. She also mentioned the “blight that is the chain link fence”. Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, October 22, 2019 Non-Recurring Items Item # 8 – Resolution Creating a Pedestrian Safety and Traffic Calming Committee Resolution Creating a Pedestrian Safety and Traffic Calming Committee Whereas, the Village of Pelham (hereinafter “the Village”) wishes to support a more vibrant and prosperous community, bring together Village government and the community to engage in the three E’s of traffic safety – Engineering, Education, and Enforcement, and: Whereas, the Village is desirous in advancing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities; and Whereas, it is incumbent upon the Village to do what it can to address the safety and well-being of all individuals regardless of transportation type; and Whereas, The Pedestrian Safety and Traffic Calming Committee will coordinate with the Police, Fire and Public Works Departments through a trustee liaison, as well as with other relevant organizations both inside and outside the Village of Pelham Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Pelham designates Village Trustee Ariel Spira-Cohen, a member of the Planning Board, a member of the Sustainability Advisory Board and Village of Pelham residents named below.

Infrastructure Capacity - The Board of Trustees authorized the following studies to assess the capacity and condition of Village infrastructure: 1. Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Study (2018) 2. Village Fire Station Assessment and Space Needs Study (2018-2019) 3. School Generation Study (2019) 4. Municipal Parking Facilities (2018-2019) 5. Sanitary Sewer Study (underway) 6. Village Hall and Police Station Space Needs Study (2018-2019) 7. Fair Share Impact Assessment (2019) Description of Proposed Project The Comprehensive Plan found that the current Village Hall lacks ADA accessibility and is substandard for meeting the administrative needs of the Village, and the Fire Station at 219 Fifth Avenue and nearby municipal parking structures, Parking Lots 7 and 3, are structurally deficient and require significant and costly structural repair and ongoing maintenance. Therefore, the Board of Trustees (as “Lead Agency’) proposes to implement several Restoration Initiatives (the “Proposed Project”) to better serve the residents with the Village of Pelham, including the following: • In response to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Board of Trustees on 2-14-18, a preferred developer was selected to construct a new 21,000 SF Municipal Services Center at 200 Fifth Avenue (n/f Capital One bank building) to consolidate and support a new Fire House, Police Headquarters and Village Hall (collectively, the “Municipal Services Center”); construct a parking deck over the surface parking lot on Parking Lot 7 (adjacent to Village Hall) of at least 160 new municipal parking spaces, and improve the deck over the existing Parking Lot 3 at the corner of 3rd Street and Sixth Avenue (adjacent to the former Capital One bank building); • and construct a mixed-use development at 219 Fifth Avenue and Parking Lot 2 (the existing fire station site, adjacent surface parking lot, and the parking lot at the corner of Fifth Avenue Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Tuesday, October 22, 2019 • and Third Street), consisting of 128 residential units (114 market rate rental units and 14 age- restricted residential units) on top of 3,000 square feet of street level commercial space and; • associated private parking for both uses, as well at least 60 municipal parking spaces with access from Fourth Avenue; and • Implement ‘complete streets’ improvements at several key intersection in the Village to increase pedestrian, bicycling safety and other new mobility options; and • Implement improvements to the downtown to enhance the experience for residents, shoppers, businesses, and visitors. The above actions will require a review and approval by the Board of Trustees and a Local Development Corporation (“LDC”) that is in the process of being formed. The LDC’s role will include but by no means be limited to the involvement in the new Municipal Services Center. As such, it is contemplated the LDC will enter into a Local Development Agreement (“LDA”) with the developer for the construction of the Municipal Services Center. The structure of the transaction is still under discussion. Study Area - Village wide The Board of Trustees has reviewed and considered the Environmental Assessment Form. The Board of Trustees determines that: (a) the proposed action is subject to the requirements of SEQRA; (b) the proposed action is a Type I Action; (c) the action is not located in an agricultural district; and (d) there are several involved agencies. Whereas, the Board of Trustees has identified other involved agencies and is declaring its intent to be the lead agency for purposes of SEQRA review, in accordance with 6 NYCRR § 617.6(b).
