Epstein Trustee David M. Heiser Trustee Jason A. Klein Trustee Jeffrey B. Rednick Mayor Paul S. Rosenberg VILLAGE STAFF: Christopher Bradbury, Village Administrator Sarah Bledsoe, Assistant to the Village Administrator Edward Beane, Esq., Village Counsel Michel Nowak, Superintendent of Public Works Fred Seifert, Public Access Coordinator/IT Shari Melillo, Meeting Secretary Mayor Rosenberg welcomed everyone to tonight's Board meeting and mentioned that they had just completed a brief ceremony for the Police Department. Mayor Rosenberg called for the first item on the agenda: AFFORDABLE HOUSING: 1) Discussion and presentation regarding application for subdivision approval and application for site plan approval for property located at 259 North Ridge Street Mr. Bradbury explained that this application has several layers of approval required. Prior to tonight, the Board had made a referral to the Planning Board but the applicant could not attend that meeting. He is here tonight to present the project and received feedback from the Board. No action will be taken tonight on this application. Mr. Lou Larizza addressed the board giving an overview of the proposed project which involves subdividing 1 parcel into 3. The largest of the 3 lots will have 8 townhouses with the overall site being 3 acres. The townhomes will be two-story 2 bedroom will all parking around the building. The third lot will have custom homes and the existing home will be raised and a new home constructed on the existing foundation. For the two market rate homes final approval authority is with planning board—for the affordable housing— final approval is with the Village Board. Trustee Redneck pointed out that this project will generate school age children and his concern is there are no sidewalks, the property is on a curve and there is no busing available. He wants to make sure that issue is discussed while it is before the Planning Board. Trustee Epstein asked to go through acreage of each one again— site plan lot 1 — 1.38 acres which is affordable housing— lot 2 is 49600 square feet - last lot is 62566 square feet. Mayor Rosenberg stated that although this is not a public hearing he asked if there were any questions from the public. Bruce Yowitz— 3 West Ridge Drive—has lived here since 1982 and pointed out that the guardrail that is currently at the site didn't exist when he moved there and after server horrible accidents on that curve, he believes that guardrail needs to stay. Mayor Rosenberg called for the next item on the agenda: 2) Considering setting a public hearing on a request for extension of FAH zoning map amendment, application for subdivision approval and application for amended site plan approval for property located at 80 Bowman Avenue Mr. Bradbury read the resolution: RESOLUTION SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING ON A REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF FAH ZONING MAP AMENDMENT, APPLICATION FOR SUBDIVISION APPROVAL AND APPLICATION FOR AMENDED SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR PROPERTY AT 80 BOWMAN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK BOARD OF TRUSTEES WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees is in receipt of an application by Bowridge Realty, LLC (Frank and Virginia Madonna) for approval of an extension of the Fair and Affordable Housing (FAH) zoning, subdivision application and amended site plan application for sixteen (16) units of affordable housing located at 80 Bowman Avenue, at the intersection of Bowman Avenue and Barber Place, designated as Section 141.27, Block 1, Lots 26, 31 & 32 on the Town of Rye Tax Map and located in the FAH Zoning District; and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees is the Approval Authority for the application pursuant to Village Code 5250-26.1.E(2); and WHEREAS, on September 8, 2015, the Board of Trustees adopted a resolution referring the application to the Rye Brook Planning Board for a report and recommendation thereon, as required under the Village Code; and WHEREAS, on September 11, 2015, the Board of Trustees circulated a Notice of Intent to declare itself Lead Agency for purposes of a coordinate environmental review pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA); and WHEREAS, thirty (30) days have elapsed since circulation of said Notice of Intent and no objection or challenge thereto has been filed; and WHEREAS, on September 21, 2015, the application was referred to the Westchester County Planning Board in accordance with General Municipal Law §239-m and Westchester County Administrative Code §277.61; and WHEREAS, on September 30, 2015, the Westchester County Planning Board issued a memorandum in favor of the proposed action; and WHEREAS, on October 8, 2015, the Planning Board adopted a resolution approving a report and recommendation to the Board of Trustees in favor of the application. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees hereby declares itself Lead Agency for purposes of a coordinated review pursuant to SEQRA; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees shall hold a Public Hearing on October 27, 2015 at 7:30 p.m., at Village Hall, 938 King Street, Rye Brook, New York to consider the application for approval; and FURTHER RESOLVED, that the applicant is directed to comply with Section 250-40 of the Village Code regarding notification. A motion was made by Trustee Epstein and seconded by Trustee Heiser. Mayor Rosenberg welcomed the Madonna's and noted that this application had been before the Planning Board and that he had received their report and recommendation late this afternoon and the Board and staff had not had a chance to review it as of yet. Mrs. Timpone-Mohammed addressed the Board and stated that the Planning Board looked at the application in reference to the original plan— it was mixed use— changed back to original townhouse version—homes are slightly larger—with one now facing Barber Place. The Planning Board felt larger units and terraces were positive changes— they believe that the smaller front yards could be mitigated by more robust landscape plans. They also were in favor of extending the FAH zone— appropriate thing to do to get new application approved. Board also recommended that to satisfy fire code—there are concerns about fire access to site because of width of Barber Place— in order to comply with code it would be necessary to prohibit parking on Barber Place which results in losing 3 spaces on the street. If the Board approves the application the planning board is recommending a fire proof building— it would have to follow the fire code. Mayor Rosenberg did watch the Planning Board meeting—he believes the issue was fire proof versus semi fire proof—the building has to get built to current code and as long as it meets that code its acceptable. Mrs. Timpone-Mohammed believes there is confusion with the term—it exists in our code but no one seems to know the origin of the term semi fireproof. Mayor Rosenberg that with respect to the recommendation with Barber Place—he asked why it came out of the Planning Board and not the emergency services task force. Mr. Bradbury responded it originally came from the Building Department reminding the Board that the Building Inspector is also the Fire Inspector. Mayor Rosenberg does not want any issues down the line—wants to make sure fire chief and emergency services task force are on board. Mr. Bradbury said it was determined it was not necessary—this is under fire inspectors jurisdiction—more of a code issue. Mayor Rosenberg asked about the Planning Board wanting the applicants to submit everything prior to setting the Public Hearing. Mrs. Timpone-Mohammed responded that it had to do with the sidewalk that faces Barber Place but she believes the applicant had already taken care of that. The applicant has revised the plan and gave it to the Board tonight—there was a second sidewalk and that duplicated the sidewalk on the street—taken out now—landing in front of doors and smaller path leading to landing. Mr. Bradbury confirmed with counsel that the fire code issue needs to be placed on the plan. Trustee Epstein is concerned for the residents of Barber Place having to face the new development and losing parking spaces and suggested elongating the building a little cutting into the green space and putting it out to the side— gaining 3-4 feet of set back for the adjoining neighbors on Barber Place. After a brief discussion, Mrs. Bledsoe called the roll: TRUSTEE EPSTEIN AYE TRUSTEE HEISER AYE TRUSTEE KLEIN AYE TRUSTEE REDNICK AYE MAYOR ROSENBERG AYE Mayor Rosenberg noted that County Legislator David Gelfarb was in the audience and asked him if he would like to address the Public. Legislator Gelfard spoke briefly advising there would be no increase in property tax levy—no tuition increases— and no finding of discrimination in Westchester which is on target to make the 750 required Affordable Housing units by 2016. Rye Brook continues to approve projects and they are grateful for that. Sewers—there has been an issue that there is too much inflow and infiltration into the county sewer lines—too much storm water is getting in—too many connections from peoples homes— leaders and gutters—led to a lot of problems at county level and anger from the state. Passed around some maps regarding sewer districts— as a result of the issues—the county wants sanitary sewer evaluations to be done. At the end of the day there is a real concern about sump pumps and leaders and gutters to be dealt with. You can handle it with inspection and enforcement program upon sale of a home. Mayor Rosenberg believes that would be very invasive and end up having to make an IMA with the county—who is the enforcement authority. The residents are going to find provisions that are going to directly impact the ability to close quickly on a home. Mr. Bradbury has been working with Liswic—they have 11 communities involved there —4 have signed an IMA—they have an advance schedule—the remaining communities are working with the county to come up with an acceptable IMA. Lets make no mistake— its not a Liswic issue— it will be brought countywide—there are questions— some can be local legislation— some will be county—there is a lot of work ahead—we know we have obligations—we are expecting to do our part. Trustee Heiser asked if the homeowners have to do a self inspection— it is basically a tax — a regressive tax? Legislator Gelfarb—we are under a lot of pressure from the DEC—it will protect the sound—basement backups— sanitary sewer overflows. Mayor Rosenberg believes it is very invasive and as a homeowner he does not like it. Legislator Gelfarb gave an update on the airport—bond acts covering airport—ground support— electrical system—baggage screening—recently the county has proposed legislation and what it is intended to do is change the utilization of the airport—because of the changes and upgrades they are looking to change the size of the planes that could be on the ground at the same time. The intent now is to have bigger plans—much more modern planes. There will be more hearings—it is proposed legislation— it is on the county website. It does not affect private planes. Trustee Epstein asked if there was any way to cap the noise? Legislator Gelfarb responded that it was not an airport issue—we have control over the amount of people in and out—more modern planes are quieter—helicopters are the noisiest. Mayor Rosenberg wants to make sure that the Doral and Bellefair HOA's are aware of what is going on. Mayor Rosenberg called for the next item on the agenda: 6) Considering a license agreement for a fence within the Village right of way on Elm Hill Drive Mr. Bradbury read the resolution: RESOLUTION B AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK TO ENTER INTO A LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH THE OWNERS OF 11 ELM HILL DRIVE FOR THE USE OF VILLAGE PROPERTY WHEREAS, Daniel F. DeBari, owner of 11 Elm Hill Drive, designated on the Town of Rye Tax Assessors Map as Section 135.50, Block 1, Lot 46, has requested a license from the Board of Trustees to maintain a white vinyl picket fence currently located in the Elm Hill Drive right-of-way, which right-of-way is owned by the Village of Rye Brook ("Village Property"), and to enter upon that portion of said Village property to maintain, restore and replace (in-kind) the fence and for no other purpose; and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees, pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), determines the proposed action to be a Type II Action and, accordingly, no further environmental review is required. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees, upon consideration of the aforementioned request, hereby authorizes the Village to enter into a License Agreement with Daniel F. DeBari, as annexed to this Resolution as Exhibit "A", to maintain the white vinyl picket fence within the Village right-of-way on Elm Hill Drive, subject to and in accordance with the terms set forth in the attached License Agreement; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute the License Agreement and deliver all necessary documents to accomplish its purposes. Mr. Bradbury gave an overview stating that the new residents replaced the fence and extended it—the old fence was in right of way—new fence is in right of way. They have submitted a permit request and they will need a license agreement to keep fence on public property. There is some precedent and applicant wishes to keep fence in current location. A motion was made by Trustee Epstein and seconded by Trustee Heiser Mrs. DeBari addressed the Board stating that they moved here from Manhattan and did not realize they couldn't do that with the fence. It is on a bend and their main concern was the children—two small boys—they believed it was their property and not an issue. Trustee Klein replied that he had driven by the property and he thought the issue might be a sight line issue. There is a lot of planting on inside of the fence and that would have to be moved if it was denied. Trustee Heiser thinks the fence looks nice. Trustee Epstein's concern is people walking on the curb and if a car comes people have nowhere to go. Mayor Rosenberg recommends Resolution B which grants a license agreement Mr. Bradbury read the resolution chosen and on a Chris read the resolution chosen and on a motion made by Trustee Epstein and seconded by Trustee Klein, the resolution was approved and Mrs. Bledsoe called the roll: TRUSTEE EPSTEIN AYE TRUSTEE HEISER AYE TRUSTEE KLEIN AYE TRUSTEE REDNICK NAY MAYOR ROSENBERG AYE PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1) Considering a local law to amend Chapter 250 of the Code of the Village of Rye Brook regarding Professional Offices Mayor Rosenberg stated that the Comprehensive Plan stated that we should encourage professional uses— doctors—chiropractors— lawyers— in specific corridors throughout the village. Unfortunately our code has needed some modification and he asked Mrs. Timpone-Mohammed to give some background but Mr. Beane asked to speak first. Mr. Beane explained there is a difference between a professional office and a commercial use—the problem is that although we have redefined professional to be a very broad definition— a billing office is not a professional office in terms of commercial uses— it is acceptable as a commercial use however. Mr. Bradbury added that people want to set up offices in certain areas and the question is what is the Board comfortable with. Mayor Rosenberg added that we want to foster professional office use— it is good for the community— a doctor is good but a billing office wouldn't do anything for the neighborhood. Mr. Beane stated that the code very broadly defines "professional". Trustee Rednick thinks we should stay with the professional office space— down the road we can expand it further—what would happen if vets wanted to come in—they board animals—that would be noise to neighbors. Mayor Rosenberg believes this makes our law a little less restrictive—there will always be something that comes up—we can only do the best we can do and if we have to tweak the code we can tweak the code. Trustee Heiser agrees with the Mayor. Mayor Rosenberg called for a motion to close the public hearing and on a motion made by Trustee Rednick and seconded by Trustee Epstein, the Public Hearing was closed and Mrs. Bledsoe called the roll: TRUSTEE EPSTEIN AYE TRUSTEE HEISER AYE TRUSTEE KLEIN AYE TRUSTEE REDNICK AYE MAYOR ROSENBERG AYE Mr. Bradbury read the resolution: RESOLUTION APPROVING A LOCAL LAW CONCERNING ZONING FOR PROFESSIONAL OFFICES IN THE VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK BOARD OF TRUSTEES WHEREAS, the Village of Rye Brook Board of Trustees is considering a local law to expand the area for Professional Office uses into certain portions of the R-2F and R-15A Zoning Districts in the Village of Rye Brook; and WHEREAS, on May 12, 2015, the Board of Trustees determined the proposed action to be an Unlisted Action pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA); and WHEREAS, on May 12, 2015, the Board of Trustees referred the proposed local law to the Rye Brook Planning Board for review and for a report and recommendation thereon; and WHEREAS, on July 9, 2015, the Planning Board approved the submission of a report and recommendation to the Board of Trustees in favor of the proposed local law; and WHEREAS, the proposed local law was referred to the Westchester County Planning Board on August 5, 2015 in accordance with Section 239-m of the General Municipal Law and the County Administrative Code; WHEREAS, the proposed local law was referred to the Village of Port Chester and Port Chester-Rye Union Free School District on August 5, 2015 in accordance with Section 239-nn of the General Municipal Law and the County Administrative Code; and WHEREAS, the County responded that it has no comments on the local law by letter dated August 17, 2015; and WHEREAS, the School District responded in favor of the proposed local law by correspondence dated August 18, 2015; and WHEREAS, and a duly noticed public hearing was held before the Board of Trustees on September 10, 2015, at which time all persons wishing to speak concerning the proposed local law were given such opportunity; and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees then closed the public hearing on October 13, 2015.
