 tee on Transportation -- committee discharged, bill amended, ordered

 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to a residen-
 tial parking system in the village of Sleepy Hollow in the county of
 Westchester

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that
 2 many residential areas in the village of Sleepy Hollow, including Sleepy
 3 Hollow Manor, Philipse Manor, Downtown Sleepy Hollow, and Webber Park,
 4 lack sufficient parking for residents of the village. Sleepy Hollow is a
 5 densely populated village, with a population of 4,452.1 persons per
 6 square mile, and the residential areas named lack sufficient off-street
 7 parking to accommodate residents' needs. This issue is further exacer-
 8 bated by the proximity of these residential areas to the Philipse Manor
 9 train station and the Tarrytown train station, where many non-residents
 10 find parking in order to take public transportation to and from work. In
 11 addition, Sleepy Hollow has a historical connection to Halloween, with
 12 it being a critical aspect of the milieu set by Washington Irving in his
 13 ubiquitous novel "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", and the village has
 14 become a tourist destination with an estimated 100,000 visitors annual-
 15 ly, most of whom take up parking spots needed by residents. This lack of
 16 residential parking has resulted in traffic hazards, congestion, and air
 17 and noise pollution posing a hazard to residents and other pedestrians
 18 in these areas.
 19 The legislature further finds that a residential parking system will
 20 reduce such hazards and will reduce pollution levels. The legislature,
 21 therefore, declares the necessity of this act to authorize the village

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 A. 616--A 2

 1 of Sleepy Hollow to adopt a residential parking system in accordance
 2 with the provisions of this act.
 3 § 2. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new section
 4 1640-t to read as follows:
 5 § 1640-t. Residential parking system in the village of Sleepy Hollow
 6 in the county of Westchester. 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any
 7 law to the contrary, the village board of the village of Sleepy Hollow
 8 may, by adoption of a local law or ordinance, provide for a residential
 9 parking permit system and fix and require the payment of fees applicable
 10 to parking within the area in which such parking system is in effect in
 11 accordance with the provisions of this section.
 12 2. Such residential parking permit system may only be established in
 13 the village of Sleepy Hollow within the area of the village consisting
