Re: Jacob Solar 2344 AT, LLC
Application for Site Plan & Special Permit Approvals
1805 Jacob Road, Yorktown, New York ("Property")
Dear Chairman Fon and Members of the Planning Board:
This firm represents Jacob Solar 2344 NY, LLC ("Freestone" or "Applicant") in
connection with Freestone's applications for Site Plan and Special Permit approval to facilitate its
proposed development of a large-scale solar energy system on the Property ("Project"). We submit
this letter in advance of your Board's May 18th meeting and continued public hearing.
Enclosed, please find the following materials that address certain comments raised during
the May 4th meeting:
Site Plan Set, prepared by LaBella Associates, dated February 23, 2024, last revised
May 8, 2026;
Response to Comments, prepared by LaBella Associates, dated May 8, 2026; and
SWPPP, prepared by LaBella Associates, dated October 2025, last revised May
2026.
The Site Plan Set and SWPPP have been revised to address the Town Engineer's comments
regarding stormwater management. Further, Sheet C132 has been revised to correct an apparent
mislabeling of adjacent property addresses — and not the match line on the plans. It appears that
the addresses of the adjacent lots to the west of the Site on Sheet C132 had been mislabeled,
causing the match line to appear inconsistent with the match line on Sheet C131. Per the Board's
request, LaBella has also confirmed that the technical data on each page of its plan set is accurate.
LaBella is available to meet with Town Staff to confirm the accuracy of the plan set at Staff's
convenience.
We respectfully submit that at this time, all comments from your Board, as well as Town
Staff, have been addressed, and the record is complete. Accordingly, we ask that the Board close

the public hearing and authorize Staff to prepare resolution(s) to adopt a Negative Declaration
pursuant to SEQRA and approve Freestone's applications.
We thank the Board for its continued attention to this matter. If you have any questions or
require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Respectfully Submitted,
