PRESENTATION/Other:  The Village Board declares itself Lead Agency for SEQRA purposes and reviews criteria of significance related to the amended special use permit application from Hudson National Golf Club to construct a 12-room cottage building for overnight guests and a caddy storage building on their property located at 40 Arrowcrest Drive.    HNGC received its current special permit in 1999.  As part of that permit, 8 cottages with 4 bedrooms each were approved for the site  The proposed amendment to the special permit would replace those with a single  12-bedroom building and a nearby caddy building.  As Lead Agency, the Village Board needs to review both the Environmental Assessment (EAF) and Coastal Assessment (CAF) form provided by the applicant.
