Partnership for approval of an amended site plan

2) Public hearing to consider a proposed local law amending Pine Ridge
Park summer hours
Board of Trustees Meeting
June 24,2014
Page 3 of 22
On a motion made by Trustee Epstein and seconded by Trustee Heiser, the public
hearing was declared open.
Mr. Bradbury, Village Administrator, was called upon for an overview of this
matter. He noted that at the previous Board of Trustees meeting there was a
discussion about keeping the park open a little later in the summer. Notices were
sent out to the neighbors within 250 feet of the park and the public hearing is now
open. Residents are encouraged to speak in favor or in opposition to this local
law. Also to be discussed was the lighting in the park. The park always has lights
at night, but now the lights will be turned off when the park closes to deter people
from playing all night long. The yellowish lighting will remain on at all times for
safety reasons.
Mayor Rosenberg called for members of the public wishing to address this matter.
Richard Gutner, of 21 Mohegan Lane, addressed the Board. He felt that turning
off the lights in the park was a safety issue. Mr. Bradbury noted that a neighbor
of the park stated that the lighting was a problem.
Mr. Gutner suggested turning the lighting away from that neighbor. He felt that
it was better to have the lights on. All of the children in the area use the park and
there is no way to discern who is a resident and who is not. He felt that the park
should be left open to at least 11:00 p.m.
A second resident of the area addressed the Board. He took the opposite view.
No other park stays open after dark. This park should not be the exception.
Although he had no problem with the park being open later, sometimes there are
people there playing until midnight. The lights are the attraction. The lights do
not go off now even though they are on a timer. The problem is the other things
that go on in the park at night versus playing basketball.
Mickie Marx, 18 Mohegan Lane, addressed the Board. One of the problems is
that the park does need to close at a certain time. He felt that turning off the white
lights and just having the safety lights on will deter people playing basketball
until 2:00 in the morning. The problems start after midnight. He agreed that
closing the park at 9:00 p.m. is too early.
Mr. Bradbury noted that the white lights will go off. The yellow lights will stay
on. The lights are on a timer, which will be checked. Mr. Marx requested that the
lights be adjusted and aimed downward.
Trustee Epstein felt that keeping the park open to 11:00 p.m. will give the
Village's teenagers a safe place to hang out.
Ross Jablon of 8 Red Roof Drive addressed the Board. There isn't much to do at
night in the Village. Playing basketball is a way to stay out of trouble. He felt
that the park should remain open later during the summer months.

Alex Gutner of Mohegan Lane addressed the Board. They would like to play
basketball at the park later at night and be able to stay and play until they finish
the game.
Trustee Heiser noted that once the park is closed no one — not dog walkers, not
basketball players—should be in the park.
Trustee Klein agreed with extending the closing of the park.
A resident noted that some of the neighbors do not have children and the noise
from the park is bothersome to them. A decision that is amenable to everyone
should be made.
Mayor Rosenberg noted that the park now closed at 9:00 p.m. The resolution will
change the closing for the summer months until 10:30 p.m. The police
department will enforce the closing.
Mr. Gutner noted that there is a catch basin where the water does not drain. Mr.
Michel Nowak, Superintendent of Public Works,will look into this.
Trustee Rednick noted that a compromise must be reached. The time can be set at
10:00 p.m. and then see how it goes this summer. Trustee Heiser stated that there
must be a balance here for the people who want to use the park and the people
who live near the park. Once the park is closed, the park is closed and that means
no one should be in the park. He asked that everyone understand this and make
sure that"the cure isn't worse than the illness."
Mr. Marks noted that now the park closes at 9:00 p.m. The intention is not to
police the park. This is about activity in the park that creates noise. There needs
to be discretion.
Trustee Epstein noted that it is a privilege to be able to use the Village parks. She
stated that she was in favor of keeping the park open later during the summer.
Mayor Rosenberg agreed with Trustee Epstein; now a decision on the time must
be made. The consensus of the Board was to amend the closing time to 10:30
p.m.
On a motion made by Trustee Heiser, and seconded by Trustee Epstein, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Burke called the roll:
Trustee Susan R. Epstein voting aye
Trustee Jason A. Klein voting aye
Trustee David M. Heiser voting aye

Mayor Rosenberg noted that the lights need to be adjusted, and the timers
