opportunities in the Village of Rye Brook and the demands of the future population
of the Project, the Board of Trustees hereby finds that additional
recreation/parkland should be created as a condition of approval. However, the
Village Board hereby determines that recreation/parkland of adequate size and
location cannot be provided on the Project Site. Therefore, the Applicant shall pay
a Recreation Fee as prescribed under Section 209-15 of the Village Code. The
Village Board hereby requires that, prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of
Occupancy, the Applicant shall pay a Recreation Fee as per the Village’s Fee
Schedule in effect at the time of payment.
32. Suez Water Westchester, Inc. (SWWC), the predecessor of Veolia Water,
previously indicated the need for two improvements to the water system. The first
improvement is the provision of additional interconnections with Westchester
Joint Water Works (WJWW), at Anderson Hill Road and Aquarion, at King
Street. SWWC previously stated it will perform those upgrades at no cost to the
Applicant. The second improvement is the installation of a meter on the 16-inch
main at Anderson Hill Road, which would bypass the existing 8-inch meter vault
that experiences significant head loss at times of peak flow. The cost associated
with this new meter and vault would be the responsibility of the Applicant. The
two improvements to the water supply system, and any additional improvements
deemed necessary by Veolia Water, shall be completed prior to the issuance of
any certificate of occupancy for any of the Project Site’s new buildings.
33. The Applicant shall cause to undertake and complete, at its sole cost and expense,

times the increase in sanitary flow generated by the Project. The location and
nature of the project-based mitigation shall subject to review and approval of the
Village Engineer/Superintendent of Public Works and/or Village Consulting
Engineer.
34. The Applicant shall make, or cause to have made, two upgrades to the Con
Edison gas system: (1) replacement of 945 feet of 4-inch and 6-inch main with 12-
inch main on Mohegan Lane and Latonia Road, and (2) installation of a 12-inch
tie on King Street from Arbor Drive to North Ridge Street. Pursuant to the
SEQRA Findings Statement, the cost of these improvements would be initially
funded by the applicant and refunded by Con Edison upon completion of the
Project.
35. The Applicant shall install a crosswalk leading from Harkness Park to the existing
Site pedestrian path and easement area in manner consistent with the Applicant’s
existing easement over Arbor Drive and subject coordination with the owner of
Arbor Drive. The crosswalk shall have lighting or other pedestrian safety or
traffic calming measures such as a raised sidewalk, flashing lights or other similar
mechanisms, as approved by the Building Inspector or Village
Engineer/Superintendent of Public Works and coordinated with the owner of
Arbor Drive. At a minimum, appropriate reflective yellow crosswalk signage
indicating a pedestrian crosswalk shall be installed.
36. The Applicant shall submit a cost estimate for the cost of proposed trees and

security in a form acceptable to the Village Attorney and approved by the Village
Board, in an amount equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of the total cost of tree and
landscape plantings, installation, materials, as well as the inclusion of a fifteen
percent (15%) contingency and acceptable by the Village Engineer/Superintendent
of Public Works.
38. The Declaration of Restrictive Covenants for the affordable dwelling units shall be
recorded by the Applicant in the Land Records Division of the Office of the Clerk
of the County of Westchester. Proof of recording shall be submitted to the
Building Department prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any
affordable dwelling unit.
39. The operator of the Senior Living Facility shall provide the Village with a copy of
the operations policies for lift assistance for residents by appropriately trained
staff prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy for any of the buildings
and substantially similar policies with respect to the requirements of the
operational plan shall be in place for the duration of the use.
The following are general conditions which shall be satisfied:
40. If any of the conditions enumerated in this resolution upon which this approval is
granted are found to be invalid or unenforceable, then the integrity of this
resolution and the remaining conditions shall remain valid and intact.
41. During construction, the Site shall be fenced off to the satisfaction of the Building
Inspector to ensure safety and the pedestrian path leading from the Village
buildings to Harkness Park and the Blind Brook High School shall be temporarily
closed. The Applicant shall be responsible for securing the pedestrian path on-site
so it cannot be accessed and shall post signage directing pedestrians to the existing
sidewalk on King Street, where pedestrians would cross Arbor Drive at the existing
signalized crosswalk.
42. All construction equipment, materials, deliveries, and worker parking shall be
accommodated on-Site. There shall be no construction equipment, truck, material
or worker parking, queuing, or staging permitted on Arbor Drive at any time.
43. To the extent possible, construction truck trips shall not coincide with the

construction schedule to the Village, along with proof of transmittal to the AHOA.
46. Noise barriers shall be maintained throughout the demolition and construction
activities.
47. Pile driving, blasting, jack hammering, and/or rock crushing are all prohibited
without further review by the Village Building Department in consultation with
Village consultants to ensure noise levels do not exceed the scope of what was
studied in Sections 2.14 and 2.16 of the FEIS, since such activities were not
included in the construction noise modeling studied in the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (FEIS). It is understood that in the unlikely event such activities
are requested, these activities would be for a minimal amount of time and in no
event shall these activities be permitted on a regular basis. Where feasible,
appropriate noise control measures will be utilized if such activities are authorized
to occur.
48. If warranted at the discretion of the Building Inspector based on visual inspection
of emissions and dust conditions during construction, a Community Air
Monitoring Program shall be implemented by the Applicant at the direction of the
Building Inspector and in accordance with the Construction Management Plan to
assure compliance with applicable requirements.
49. In-field noise level readings shall be provided by the Applicant to the Village
upon the Building Inspector’s request when he or she determines such readings

readings to the Village’s Special Engineering Consultant for review. Such review
shall be at the Applicant’s cost and paid from the professional review escrow.
50. All trees and landscape plantings shown on the Landscape Plan shall be maintained
in a vigorous growing condition. All plants not so maintained shall be replaced
with new plants of comparable size and quality at the beginning of the next
immediately following growing season.
51. If the Site results in more parking demand than is anticipated, the Village shall
require the Applicant to construct the land banked parking areas to accommodate
the additional parking demand. The Applicant shall submit to the Village, in a
form satisfactory to the Village Attorney, a Land Banked Parking Agreement
guaranteeing the improvement of the land banked parking spaces in the event that
the Village Board determines the improvement of such spaces is necessary as per
Village Code §250-7.E(6)(b)(4)(d). Post-construction monitoring shall be required
to determine the necessity of constructing some or all of the land banked parking.
52. The Applicant shall perform a parking utilization count when the Project is 75%
occupied and again at 90% occupancy. Upon reaching 90% occupancy, a parking
utilization count shall be performed annually for three years. Each parking
utilization count shall be submitted to the Village Building Department for use in
determining whether the improvement of some or all of the 25 land banked
parking spaces is necessary.
53. At least one registered nurse shall be scheduled to be on-Site at all times, 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week and shall be available to direct and triage the response to
medical issues for both IL and AL residents.
54. Any medical or biological waste generated at the Site shall be handled, stored, and
disposed of in accordance with all applicable regulations, including those of the
NYSDOH.
55. An emergency response system shall be installed that allows residents to activate
the system in one or more ways and provides multiple stationary and mobile
methods for project staff to respond to its activation.
56. The emergency access drive shall be secured at both ends with a bollard and chain
assembly and shall only be used in the case of emergencies and only authorized
Site or Village personnel shall be allowed to unlock the chain. It shall be the
Applicant’s responsibility to maintain this drive, including the portion on Village
property, inclusive of the provision of snow and ice removal.
57. Emergency power systems installed exterior to the building shall be designed to
avoid producing a combined 6.0 dBA or more increase at nearby receptors using a
combination of generator enclosures (Models with Level 1 or 2 sound enclosures
shall be selected), noise barriers, and generator site selection. The generators shall
only be used in emergencies or during testing, which testing shall only occur
during daytime hours during weekdays. Further, generators shall comply with the
provisions for emergency stand-by backup generators in Section 250-4.1 of the
Village Zoning Code.
58. The Site shall use a private carter for solid waste generated by the Site. The
contract with the private carter hired to service the Site shall include a
requirement that waste and recycling shall not be picked up earlier than 6:00 AM,
the time which municipal refuse may begin. Solid waste shall be stored within the
loading area and covered in the rear of the IL and AL building so as not to be
visible from Arbor Drive, Village Hall, RBPD, RBFD or The Arbors due to
intervening buildings. A solid waste management plan that meets the
requirements of Westchester County’s Source Separation Law shall be developed
for the Site and shall be submitted to the Commissioner of Environmental
Facilities of the County of Westchester as well as the Village.
59. Trash receptacles shall be provided by all toilets in order to reduce the potential
for non-flushable items to enter the sanitary sewer system.
60. Approved code compliant grease traps shall be provided from proposed common
kitchen areas in the IL and AL building to prohibit unwanted greases from
entering the sewer system. The grease traps shall be maintained on a regular basis
to maintain their effectiveness.
61. The Project shall incorporate energy-efficient features, including fixtures and
HVAC and mechanical systems.
62. The Applicant shall, at their own expense, pursue approval of, and
implementation of, certain signal re-timings along King Street with NYSDOT.
The signal re-timings would occur on King Street at Arbor Drive and the Blind
Brook Middle School and High School to improve existing and future operating
conditions, including queuing along King Street as well as at the Middle and High
School Driveway.
63. The shifts of the Site’s employees shall be staggered so that shift changes do not
occur during school arrival or dismissal times, further reducing the potential for
conflict between Site-generated traffic and pedestrians.
64. The Second Amended PUD Site Plan Approval granted herein shall expire in the
event the Applicant does not submit a building permit application to the Building
Department within one year of the adoption date of this Resolution, provided
however, that the Planning Board may extend such time period from time to time
for good cause shown upon written request from the Applicant.
65. The Project shall include the installation of exterior security cameras and provide
access to the recorded camera videos upon request by the Police Department.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that no permits shall be issued until the Applicant
has paid to the Village all applicable fees and professional review fees incurred in connection
with review of this Project.
