He began by noting that this was a fairly lengthy process. 66 Bowman is home that is used an office building. The application has been before the Planning Board and the Zoning Board of Appeals. There are some drainage issues in this area, and the applicant has attempted to keep as much storm water on the property as possible by constructing drywells. However, storm water runs from properties to the east onto this property which is slanted down towards Barber Place. The architect, Lewis , offered to respond to any questions. He noted that this is an office building inside of an existing house. The parking area will be reconfigured to make it more user-friendly. Some impervious surface will be removed.

Mr. Bradbury noted that the drainage cannot be managed on site. The Planning Board will be considering installation of a drainage system for that area.

On a motion made by Heiser, and seconded by Trustee Rednick, the resolution was adopted. The roll was called: TRUSTEE HEISER AYE TRUSTEE MARROW AYE TRUSTEE REDNICK AYE TRUSTEE ROSENBERG AYE MAYOR FEINSTEIN AYE Board of Trustees March 21, 2013 Page 11 of 20 3) Public hearing to consider proposed local law amending Chapter 250 of the Village Code regarding the Arbors PUD Trustee Marrow recused herself as a resident of the Arbors. On a motion made by Trustee Rednick, and seconded by Trustee Heiser, the public hearing was declared open. The roll was called: TRUSTEE HEISER AYE TRUSTEE MARROW AYE TRUSTEE REDNICK AYE TRUSTEE ROSENBERG AYE MAYOR FEINSTEIN AYE Mayor Feinstein noted that the intent of the proposed changes was to make things easier. Small work wouldn't trigger an amendment to the PUD. The Arbors property goes back almost 30 years, and the proposed amendments will make it easier for the residents to do small projects without triggering a full site plan review for the PUD. Everything has been done openly and the Arbors has had representation at the meetings. The changes set limits for triggering site plan review. It is also not necessary to go before the Arbor's Architectural Review Board and the Village's Architectural Review Board. She gave an overview; and provided the background of the proposed changes. Mr. Bradbury noted that previously changes on the individual lots would require a full site plan review. Now, for a small improvement on an individual lot, it would not trigger a full site plan review. Mayor Feinstein called for members of the public wishing to address the Board. Rosemary Schlank, a resident of the Arbors, addressed the Board. She gave an overview of a PUD. She reviewed what, in her opinion, were undesirable changes. The Planning Board reviewed this matter and has made its recommendation to the Board of Trustees. The Planning Board talked about the unique characteristics of the Arbors, but there are three other PUDS in Rye Brook. The Arbors was establish through a process with the Town of Rye. The Village accepted the site plan application. She reviewed the proposed local law, and expressed her objections. She felt that there was a fairness issue that needs to be reviewed. Board of Trustees March 21, 2013 Page 12 of 20 Ms. Schlank disagreed with the Village's intentions. She felt that things were being made harder for the residents. Mr. Bradbury noted that no one wants to spend money when it is not necessary. The intent was to lessen the burden on the residents. It was noted that a class action lawsuit took place. Edward Beane, Esq., Village Counsel, stated that this legislation makes things easier. Mayor Feinstein noted that as a resident of the Arbors there are rules and regulations that must be adhered to. The guidelines of what can or cannot be done are there. No one is trying to take away the power of the Homeowners Association to make changes. The Village is not trying to interfere with what a Homeowners Association can or cannot do. There are no changes to the powers of the Homeowners Association. Mayor Elect Rosenberg noted that these changes are to be looked at going forward. Mayor Feinstein reiterated that the Village was trying to make this process much easier. A P.U.D. is different than other residential units within the Village. Rosemary Schlank continued to discuss the site plan Mayor Feinstein noted that the site plan was voted on last year. The proposed legislation is now what is before the Board. Mayor Feinstein called for other members of the public wishing to address the Board. A resident of Ivy Hill Crescent, and the president of the Homeowners Association, Hillary Silver, addressed the Board. She noted that the Arbors Board appreciates the efforts made by the Village. Dean Santon 'addressed the Board to attempt to put this project in context. The Arbors is unique because it was the first PUD. The Village is not the `policeman' of the PUD. This PUD did not adhere to the covenants and declarations. They were approved to build dense housing with one and two bedrooms. Now there are three and four bedroom units. Private property does not get the same municipal services. The Village is now trying to pave the way to the future. The Arbors is not the victim here. On a motion by Trustee Heiser, and seconded by Trustee Rednick, the public hearing was closed.
