Mayor Jack Kabcenell Village of Rye Brook 80 South Ridge Street Rye Brook, New York 10577 Re : Arrowwood Dear Mayor Kabcenell: We represent KSB Arrowwood Realty Corporation ("Arrowwood") , the owner of the Arrowwood Conference Center, situated on the northerly side of Anderson Hill Road east of King Street. The property consists of 113 . 67 acres, 106 .35 of which are situated in the Village of Rye Brook , approximately one acre on the westerly side thereof in the Town of Harrison, and approximately six acres of which are on the easterly side thereof fronting on King Street in the Town of Greenwich. That portion of the property which is situated in the Village of Rye Brook is known and designated on the Village of Rye Brook Tax Map as Section 1 , Block 3 , Lots 5A, 5B and 8 . The property has been zoned for campus office use for over forty -years . In 1980 , at the request of Citicorp, the then owner of the property, the zoning classification of the premises was amended to authorize conference center use , and subsequent thereto, the Arrowwood Conference Center , consisting of approximately 300, 000 square feet of floor area, together with appropriate amenities, including an upgraded golf course, was constructed. Thereafter , an application to expand the conference center pursuant to an amended site plan was approved by the Village Board on August 26, 1986 . Enclosed herewith is a copy of my letter of April 28 , 1986 to you summarizing the nature and extent of that proposed expansion. Thereafter, Citicorp conveyed the premises to our present client, the principals of which are the Kaskel family, who are widely known and highly acclaimed for their golf-oriented hotel and resort operations throughout the - r CUDDY & FEDER Page 2 December 28 , 1987 country. They have continued to upgrade the operation of Arrowwood to their high standards during the past year . It is now proposed that the heretofore approved expansion of Arrowwood be modified by deletion of the Phase IIB expansion referred to in my April 28 , 1986 letter, demolition of the former clubhouse , and the addition of an executive villa, a fitness center, and a new clubhouse . As reflected on the enclosed site plan, these modifications would result in a net reduction of approved square footage of the conference center of 26 ,360 square feet. The current proposal. contemplates the construction of ninety-two townhouse units and ninety villa units interspersed around the golf course on the easterly portion of the property in an area aggregating 46 . 45+ acres. The unit owners , in addition to access to the golf course and tennis courts , which will be further improved, will enjoy their own swimming pool. The housing units , of course , will be of . high quality, commensurate with Arrowwood and its environs . The property which is now proposed to be developed for residential purposes is presently zoned Campus Office (OB-1) , with a consequential theoretical floor area entitlement of over 620, 000 square feet of office space . By any criteria the proposed residential development should be more desireable to the Village than alternative development of the property under present zoning. The zoning of the property will have to be reclassified to implement the residential proposal. We look forward to discussing alternative approaches to this matter with the Village Board, the Planning Board, and your consultants , at your earliest convenience . We respectfully request that the Village Board forward the subject application for rezoning to the Planning Board for consideration at its January 14th meeting. Thank you for your cooperation.

VISSAT (also CTI Hon. Mayor Jack Kabcenell and Members of the Board of Trustees Village of Rye Brook South Ridge Street Rye Brook, New York Re : Citicorp. Site Plan Amendment- Arrowwood Conference Center Expansion Dear Mayor Kabcenell and Members of the Board of Trustees : On behalf of our client, Westchester Conference Center Development Corp. , delivered herewith is its application for amendment of the site plan for its conference center, Arrowwood . On September 9 , 1980 the Rye Town Board adopted two Final Environmental Impact Statements , one prepared by Citicorp' s consultants with respect to its property, and a Generic Environmental Impact Statement for the Rye Town North area prepared by Frederick P. Clark Associates, planning consultants to the Town of Rye . Subsequently, the original site plan was approved by the Town Board of the Town of Rye on November 5 , 1980 . The environmental impact statements contemplated a conference center of 300,000 square feet and subsequent expansion aggregating an additional 150 , 000 square feet. The success of Arrowwood, which has received several awards as one of the outstanding conference centers in the country, has indicated the need at this time to proceed with the previously considered expansion. CUDDY & FEDER April 28 , 1986 Page 2 The applicant, Westchester Conference Center Development Corp. , is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citibank, N .A. , which, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citicorp. It proposes a Phase IIA expansion consisting of a residential wing of 100 rooms, aggregating 54, 900 square feet, and a conference wing with additional service facilities aggregating 28 , 440 square feet. Recreational facilities will be commensurately increased. Additional parking, consisting of 149 spaces will be provided concurrently with the Phase IIA construction. It is anticipated that Phase IIA construction will commence within approximately one year of site plan approval . The second phase of the proposed expansion, Phase IIB, consists of another residential wing of 100 rooms, aggregating 53 , 398 square feet, and another conference wing aggregating 13, 262 square feet. Additional parking, consisting of 97 spaces, will be provided concurrently with the Phase IIB construction. Phase IIB construction will commence as the additional facilities are required, probably within three to five years after completion of Phase IIA. It is, however, critical that the Village consider the approval of the expansion of the conference center in its totality at this time because of the functional and aesthetic interrelationship of Phase IIA and Phase IIB. We respectfully request that this application be transmitted to the Rye Brook Planning Board for its review and recommendation. Thank you for your consideration. Cordially yours, William V. Cuddy WVC :ap 1416-2 (2/87)-7c 017.21 SE Appendix A state Envlronmental Duality Review FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM Purpose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a pro or action may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy tp answer. Frequ, ly, there are aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasureable. It is also understood that those.who determ sign ficance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may be technically expert in environmer analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affect the question of significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determinat process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible to allow introduction of information to fit a project or acts, Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts: Part 1: Provides objective data and information about a given project and its site. By identifying basic proji data, it assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provic guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potent l large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. Part 3: If any impact in Part 1 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not t impact is actually important. DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE—Type 1 and Unlisted Actions Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project. J>a Part 1 (;X Part 2 OPart 3 Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF(Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting information, and considering both the magitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that: O A. The project will not result in any large and important impacts) and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be prepared. 1 B. Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3 have been required, therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared.* 1 C The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a positive declaration will be prepared. A Conditioned Negative Declaration is only valid for Unlisted Actions Arrowwood of Westchester Name of Action Rye Brook Village Board Name of Lead Agency Print or Type Name of Responsible Officer in Lead Agency Title of Responsible Officer Signature of Responsible Officer in Lead Agency Signature of Preparer(if different from responsible officer) Date 1 PART 1—PROJECT INFORMATION Prepared by Project Sponsor NOTICE: This document is designed to assist in determining whether the action proposed may have a significant e on the environment.

Part 2—PROJECT IMPACTS AND THEIR MAGNITUDE Responsibility of lead Agency General Information (Read Carefully) • In completing the form the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my responses and determinations t reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst. • Identifying that an impact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily significa Any large impact must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. Identifying an impact to column 2 sirr asks that it be looked at further. • The Examples provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of impacts and wherever possible the thresholc magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State z for most situations. But, for any specific project or site other examples and/or lower thresholds may be appropr, for a Potential Large Impact response, thus requiring evaluation in Part 3. • The impacts of each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are illustrative a have been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each questa, • The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question. • In identifying impacts, consider long term, short term and cumlative effects. Instructions (Read carefully) a. Answer each of the 19 questions in PART 2. Answer Yes if there will be any impact. b. Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers. c. If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box (column 1 or 2) to indicate the potential size of t impact. If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided,check column 2. If impact will occur but threshc is lower than example, check column 1. d. If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART e. If a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) in the project to a small to modera impact also check the Yes box in column 3. A No response indicates that such a reduction is not possible. Tl- must be explained in Part 3. 1 2 3 Small to Potential Can Impact BE IMPACT ON LAND Moderate Large Mitigated By 1 Will the proposed action result in a physical change to the projec(, te?
