Epstein voting aye Trustee David M. Heiser voting aye Trustee Jason A. Klein voting aye Trustee Jeffrey B. Rednick voting aye Mayor Paul S. Rosenberg voting aye The Village's Consultant from BFJ Planning addressed the Board. The Committee worked on the Comprehensive Plan for over a year and has now forwarded its recommendation to the Board of Trustees. There are fifteen chapters and residents can find the Comprehensive Plan online. A review of the Comprehensive Plan will take place during the public hearing. This is a long range view for the Village. Capital Budget implementation and zoning changes will take place in the future. There is a land use plan included in the Comprehensive Plan. The Board of Trustees must determine that the plan does not have an impact on the environment. The Plan provides several options for re-zoning, but it is up to the Village as to whether and or when the zoning would change. Mayor Rosenberg noted the discussions held at the public hearing could result in changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The Board of Trustees has the ability to make changes. There are options in the Plan and there is value in having these options. The Board of Trustees Meeting May 13,2014 ') acP 16 Blind Brook Club was used as an example of where overall policies for the future are in place. Mayor Rosenberg opened the floor to members of the public. He noted that there will be additional public hearings. He welcomed former Trustee Marrow and Marsha Rogel, members of the Comprehensive Plan Committee, to the meeting. A resident of 20 years addressed the Board. She noted that the Village has grown over the years and she worried that the Comprehensive Plan was an urbanization. She was concerned over how these changes would affect the Village. Mayor Rosenberg encouraged the resident to review the full plan. Mayor Rosenberg began a review of the Comprehensive Plan. The Board started with Land Use and Zoning. One of the most important items is the Blind Brook Club. This is a private golf club and one of the last parcels of open space in the Village. There is no indication that the club is looking to sell the property. The property is in the R20 zoning. Mayor Rosenberg reviewed the options. It was noted that years ago there was a golf club called Bonnie Brier. The Town zoned it as a golf course. The case and town zoning was challenged. The Village of Rye Brook has the opportunity to re-zone the club property and preserve open space. Once re-zoned and the Comprehensive Plan has been put in place, the Village would not have to entertain a request to re-zone. No one is saying that the Blind Brook will apply for cluster housing, but the Village would like to have the protection to limit the development of this property. The Board discussed leaving things how they are for this property or changing it to a recreational zone. Mayor Rosenberg noted that the Blind Brook Club had their counsel in attendance. No one is trying to push them out; the Village is simply looking to preserve open space. Mr. Bradbury noted that information is available on the Village's website for residents interested in reviewing the process. Anthony Gioffre, Esq., from the firm of Cuddy and Fedder, addressed the Board as the representative for the Blind Brook Club. The hope of the owners is that the Village will keep as many options in the Comprehensive Plan in connection with the Blind Brook Club open. Mayor Rosenberg noted that the Blind Brook Club discussion will be kept open. At this time the discussion turned to the Rye Ridge Shopping Center as the Village Center. The area around the shopping center was discussed. There are a lot of good suggestions in Board of Trustees Meeting May 13,2014 ') acP 17 the plan in order to brand the downtown area. Susan Favate addressed the Board. She discussed the underlying zoning and the overlay zoning. These suggestions give the developers an approach to developing properties in this area. Branding was discussed as was signage, landscaping, and ways to develop a sense of community. The Comprehensive Plan talks about pedestrian and bike access throughout the Village. The Board discussed the removal of the OBI Zone and reducing setbacks. Ways of adding charm and character to the area was discussed. Susan Favate discussed the R2F Zone and special use permits. The next area addressed was natural resources and storm water management. Mayor Rosenberg felt that the Code could use some clean up in this area. When the Code was written there were not as many houses as there are today. When people re-do their properties they should be incentivized to go solar, LED, or management their storm water on site. Mr. Bradbury noted that there was a lot of discussion on storm water issues. The committee recommended going further then the Code requires and encourage residents to take the extra step to control storm water management. Educating the residents is also a big part of the changes. Mr. Bradbury noted that a green committee has been suggested to let people know what opportunities are out there. Using tax programs as incentives was discussed to get an existing property owner who was not looking for a permit but they might want to do something to help. Mayor Rosenberg suggested that the Board stop discussing the Comprehensive Plan and move back to the agenda. The public hearing will be continued to the next Board of Trustee meeting. The hearing will be continued on May 22, 2014.
