Dear Jonathan and Shari Sims:
Mayor Rosenberg forwarded your email to me for follow-up.
The applicant has now provided the actual proposed heights (not just the averages). The actual height information has
been added in the following documents linked below which are also available on the village web page dedicated to this
project:
B Site Plan Process Summary .pdf: (July 2, 2021 memo from Peter Feroe, page 7).
J Architectural Drawings .pdf : (Drawings BA-303 and BA-304, pages 17 & 18)
Take care,
Chris Bradbury
Rye Brook Village Administrator

Dear Mayor Rosenberg and Board of Trustees:
On June 23rd, 2021, we watched online a meeting of the Architectural Review Board regarding 900 King
Street.
First and foremost, we want to recognize the remarkable amount of work the ARB and the Village Board
of Trustees have put into this project. Your hard work and dedication are very much appreciated.
On more than one occasion, Trustee Susan R. Epstein asked a very basic question: How tall is the
highest main roof peak?
It is disconcerting to say the least that she could not elicit a straightforward answer despite asking the
question several times. We will not reiterate ad nauseum the variety of answers that were given, save to
say that they were defensive and evasive.
As 35+ year residents of Rye Brook, we care a lot about the answer to this question. If nothing else, it
would provide the Board with a very fundamental statistic: How does the tallest aspect of this new
proposal compare to the height of the current office building?
