TRUSTEE BUZIN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE FEINSTEIN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE HARRIS VOTING AYE TRUSTEE SANTON VOTING AYE MAYOR RAND VOTING AYE Chief Theodore Sabato thanked everyone for coming to celebrate the appointment of Rye Brook's newest Lieutenant, Eugene F Matthews. Judge Anthony Board of Trustees Meeting December 14,2004 Page 3 Provenzano performed the swearing in ceremony, and everyone congratulated Lt. Matthews on his well-deserved promotion. Lt. Eugene Matthews thanked the Board for recognizing his efforts and showing their confidence in him by appointing him Lieutenant. The meeting was briefly adjourned for a celebration. Mayor Rand reconvened the meeting. He introduced County Legislator Martin Rogowsky, who asked for a few moments to address the Board with a brief update of happenings in Westchester County. Mr. Rogowsky began by noting that there was good news for all taxpayers -- there would be a 0% tax increase. He then introduced George Latimer, and congratulated him on his newly elected position as State Assemblyman for the 91s' Assembly District. Mr. Latimer addressed the Board. He stated that he was looking forward to strategizing with Rye Brook, and noted that within the first 60 days of legislative session members can submit bills. He hoped that in his new position of Assemblyman that he would be able to assist Rye Brook, and would supply his district office information to the Village as soon as it was in place. Mayor Rand, and the Board, congratulated Mr. Latimer. Mayor Rand returned to the agenda and called for item 91: 1) CONSIDERATION OF A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND CHAPTER 250 OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK REGARDING FENCES, LANDSCAPE WALLS AND RETAINING WALLS IN CONJUNCTION WITH PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 209 REGARDING SITE PLAN REVIEW. Mayor Rand declared the public hearing open at 8:02 p.m. Ms. Marilyn Timpone Mohamed, Village Planning Consultant from the firm of F.P. Clark Associates, was asked for a brief overview. Ms. Timpone-Mohamed noted that this was Phase I of the Site Plan Amendments that the Village Staff is working on. The intent is to regulate certain types of structures in the Village. Definitions have been added to the Zoning Code. The first portion of amendments are to Chapter 209, Site Plan Review. The amendments include an expanded site plan checklist. The checklist has to do with the items required from the applicant coming in for a site plan review. That is the first part. The second part deals with definitions and attempts to remove duplicative definitions. Chapter 250 amendments attempt to clarify regulations for porches, enclosed porches, patios, terraces, etc. Clarification is also given to violations of the Zoning Code, which will now be misdemeanors. The third part deals with Chapter 250 — which deals with landscape walls, retaining walls. These amendments are intended to accompany the site plan amendments. Once these amendments are in place, the second Phase will begin. Trustee Joan Feinstein questioned whether the Village really wanted to regulate fences that are not visible from the street, i.e.: those in the rear yards. Ms. Timpone Mohamed noted that the staff and the Building Inspector did a lot of Board of Trustees Meeting December 14,2004 Page 4 work in terms of the types of conditions happening in the Village. The Building Inspector felt that backyard fences are important because they affect the adjacent neighbors. They have faced situations such as the installation of fences that are too tall and fences that have been installed on the neighbors' property. This amendment will give the Building Department guidance. Trustee Feinstein noted that repairs to a retaining wall would require approval. It is good to regulate and have uniformity, but she felt that perhaps it was too much of a burden being placed on the residents. Ms. Timpone Mohamed noted that retaining walls must be properly built. That is why those walls in particular must be reviewed by an engineer. Trustee Feinstein felt that going to the Village with a minor issue was burdensome. Ms. Timpone Mohamed pointed out that a minor repair to a retaining wall, if done incorrectly, can cause problems. Mayor Rand agreed with Trustee Feinstein that this might be over-regulating. Trustee Dean Santon expressed his concern about the definition of fences. He stated that improper fencing can cause burdens to neighbors. He questioned how the 50% calculation would be decided upon when a resident replaced a fence that was in disrepair, especially when it was re-installed in exactly the same spot at the exact same height. He felt that determining 50% was too difficult. Trustee Santon also noted that a retaining wall could affect the water table and, although hiring a surveyor and creating a site plan is costly, there are times when this would be prudent. Ms. Timpone Mohamed noted that the Planning Board was looking to regulate the fences at property borders. This is also referenced in Chapter 209. The amendments leave the matter to the discretion of the Building Inspector. Trustee Santon noted that there were no fees referenced for the permit. Residents should be able to consult the Building Inspector about projects without incurring a fee. He questioned the appeals process. Mr. Christopher Bradbury, Village Administrator, noted that there was a waiver process in place. Trustee Feinstein responded that it her opinion that this process was costly. Trustee Robert Harris noted that most residents would not think that they would need a permit for replacing a section of fencing around a garden. Mayor Rand noted that everyone wants to do the right thing for the Village. It is terrible to have to adjudicate between neighbors. The objective here when the process began was to provide clarity and transparency to an opaque and obsolete Code. The Board agreed that clarity is needed. Mayor Rand called for members of the public wishing to address this matter. Mr. Ken Heller of Lincoln Avenue addressed the Board. He felt that regulations, upon regulations, and costs upon costs, were making simply tasks very complicated. Reviews may be necessary, but the homeowners should not be put Board of Trustees Meeting December 14,2004 Page 5 in a position to have to bear this financial burden. He noted that there is a deer problem in Rye Brook, and a buck can jump 10'. Most people don't want their view blocked, and want to enjoy their neighbor's property, but sometimes fences are a good thing, especially when it comes to privacy. He felt that these amendments were intrusive. Residents should be able to enjoy their property. He felt that an additional review of the procedures was warranted. On a motion made by Trustee Santon, and seconded by Trustee Harris, the public hearing was closed.

CONSIDERATION OF A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND CHAPTER 250 OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK REGARDING DEFINITIONS AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF THE ZONING CHAPTER IN CONJUNCTION WITH PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 209 REGARDING SITE PLAN REVIEW. The public hearing was declared open at 8:35 p.m. Ms. Timpone Mohamed noted that F.P. Clark reviewed this matter and found instances were there have never been Certificates of Occupancy issued. In this situation the entire building is considered a new building. Trustee Feinstein expressed her concerns about these amendments. Edward Beane, Esq., Village Council,responded to Trustee Feinstein's concern. The Board discussed guardrails on a patio — which simply guard someone from falling off of a patio. Trustee Santon asked that the name be changed. Ms. Timpone Mohamed responded that sometimes patios are constructed on uneven grades and this type of a railing to guard people from falling is necessary. Similar railings are used on open walkways. The decision was that railing was an appropriate term. On a motion made by Trustee Santon, and seconded by Trustee Harris, the public hearing was closed.

CONSIDERATION OF A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND CHAPTER 209 OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK CONCERNING SITE PLAN REVIEW. Mayor Rand declared the public hearing open. Trustee Feinstein questioned the timeframe of an application. Ms. Timpone Mohamed noted that some projects go on forever. These amendments were written to address these projects. On a motion made by Trustee Santon, and seconded by Trustee Feinstein, the public hearing was closed.

TRUSTEE BUZIN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE FEINSTEIN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE HARRIS VOTING AYE TRUSTEE SANTON VOTING AYE MAYOR RAND VOTING AYE The Board returned to the order of the agenda: PUBLIC HEARINGS: 4. CONSIDERATION OF A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND CHAPTER 240 OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK TO PROHIBIT PARKING ALONG PORTIONS OF WEST RIDGE DRIVE. Mayor Rand declared the pubic hearing open at 9:50 p.m. Mr. Bradbury noted that the Board had discussed parking and safety issue in this area at prior meetings. The proposed change to the local law would prohibit parking on West Ridge Drive. Chief Sabato noted that the Traffic Commission had reviewed this matter after several complaints were received from residents. The police department will enforce the new local law. Mr. Donald Cassone, a resident of West Ridge Drive, addressed the Board. He noted that he was opposed to this change as it would adversely affect the residents. He felt that it was unfair. Trustee Santon reminded Mr. Cassone that he was one of the residents that brought this problem to the Village's attention. He noted that the problems with Verizon's trucks cannot be regulated, however, Board of Trustees Meeting December 14,2004 Page 11 the hazardous conditions created by the parking of Verizon's trucks in this area can be addressed. He also reminded everyone that this matter had been discussed at two prior Board of Trustee meetings. Mr. Cassone stated that his problem was with the Verizon boxes, as well as the trucks that park in the area. The real problem is the boxes which supposedly necessitate the parking of these double axel trucks in the area. He noted that many residents of Ridge Street rely on West Ridge for parking. The problem is the Verizon boxes and trucks, and the residents should not be punished by losing parking spaces. Mrs. Nancy Cassone questioned whether or not Verizon had the legal right to install the boxes there. The response was that they are a utility, and the boxes are installed for the residents. Mr. Beane noted that utility companies have the right to install these types of boxes where they are needed. He reminded everyone that the Village was working with Verizon regarding landscaping of the area. Trustee Santon noted that the amendments simply restrict parking within 40' from the intersection. This does not prohibit parking on the remainder of both sides of West Ridge. The Village cannot amend the local law to say anyone can park there except for Verizon trucks. He felt that this was a fair compromise. Mayor Rand noted that the Village Board reviews this matter holistically, for the safety of the entire community. The public hearing can be left open to allow the residents an opportunity to review the Traffic Commission's study, and minutes from Board meetings. This matter will be adjourned to January 11, 2005. The resolution on this matter was also adjourned. The final public hearing on the agenda was called before the Board: 5. CONSIDERATION OF A LOCAL LAW AMENDING CHAPTER 78 AND 170 OF THE VILLAGE CODE REGARDING THE USE OF RYE HILLS PARK FOR DOG WALKING. Mayor Rand declared the public hearing open. Trustee Harris began the discussion on this matter. He pointed out that this amendment could actually reduce the rights of pet owners from what occurs today. The police do not currently enforce the laws, unless they receive complaints. Many residents bring their dogs to this park and walk them. It was noted that Crawford Park also allows dogs to be walked on that parkland. Mayor Rand stated that right now dog walking is prohibited in any Village park. Any change in the Code would permit dog walking, on leashes, but would also enable the authorities to more easily enforce the law. Former Trustee Jody Brackman addressed the Board. She noted that she was not in favor of the proposed local law. Residents were requesting to be allowed to Board of Trustees Meeting December 14,2004 Page 12 have their dogs in Rye Hills Park leashed at any hour, and they asked that consideration be made allowing unleashed dogs in the park. As it now stands, the resolution would reduce the amount of time that dog owners could have their dogs in this park. Ms. Brackman asked that the Board not vote in favor of the resolution as written. A second resident asked why there was a reduction in the hours. It was noted that neighboring residents were concerned about dogs in the park, noise, feces, etc. Recently there have been calls to the police department where dogs were intimating residents. The residents surrounding Rye Hills Park are against dogs in the park. Mayor Rand called for a sense from the Board in order to give Mr. Beane a sense of how to proceed. The sense of the Board was to continue to study the issues, and to keep the Public Hearing open until January 11, 2005. Ms. Brackman was asked to work with the Village counsel to draft an amendment to the local law. On a separate matter, Mayor Rand called Jody Brackman to the podium. He presented her with a Certificate of Appreciate for her years of service to the community, both as a former member of the Board of Trustees and for years of service on other Boards within the community. Ms. Brackman thanked the Board for their recognition. RESOLUTIONS 6. RESOLUTION APPROVING A PREFERRED KING STREET ATHLETIC FIELDS SCHEMATIC DESIGN. Mr. Bradbury read the resolution. On a motion made by Trustee Santon, and seconded by Trustee Harris, the resolution was adopted. RESOLUTION RESOLUTION APPROVING A PREFERRED KING STREET ATHLETIC FIELD SCHEMATIC DESIGN WHEREAS, the Village Board held a special public meeting on November 30, 2004 with the project consultants, the Thomas Group and Dolph Rotfeld Engineering, to evaluate various ballfield design and drainage basin options and associated costs; and WHEREAS, at the November 30, 2004 meeting, the Village Board provided direction to the project architect, the Thomas Group, to make certain modifications to the preferred plans and resubmit them for reconsideration; and WHEREAS, the Thomas Group has re-submitted a modified plan for Village Board consideration. Board of Trustees Meeting December 14,2004 Page 13 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook hereby approves the modified plan submitted by the Thomas Group, and authorizes the staff to work with the project consultants and King Street Athletic Fields Task Force members to implement the plan. Trustee Harris began the discussion by referring to the land acquisition line of the proposal, requesting clarification. Mr. Bradbury responded. He noted that changing from grass to turf was an additional $30,000. The increases came from the bathroom/storage building, landscaping, and the new turf for the field. Trustee Feinstein noted that everyone was ready to proceed. She noted that the Village has received a commitment of $2 million from the Westchester County Legacy Grant. There is approximately $700,000 in the budget for this project. She questioned where the additional funds would come from. Trustee Santon stated that he would consider additional funding, such as bonding, corporate donations, contributions, and applying for additional monies from the County. Trustee Santon noted that the project must move forward in order to take advantage of the Legacy Grant. It was noted that the current shortfall from the planned cost of $3.7 million and the expected financing is in the neighborhood of $500,000.

He turned the balance of the meeting over to Deputy Mayor Santon. The Board called for a five-minute adjournment. Upon the Board's return, Deputy Mayor Santon called upon Mr. Ken Heller who wished to address the Board. Mr. Heller, of Lincoln Avenue, noted that there was an icing problem at the bottom of Lincoln Avenue that needed to be rectified. He asked that the Building Department review this matter at its earliest convenience as this was a safety issue. The matter was directed to Mr. Victor Carosi,Village Engineer. Deputy Mayor Santon called for item 912,with the permission of the Board. 12.

Fink, Senior Engineer, Con Edison, addressed the Board. He noted that he addressed the Planning Board on December 9, 2004, in the hopes of obtaining approval for this urgent application. At that time plans were thoroughly reviewed, as were the landscape plans. Conditions were placed on the Planning Board's recommendation for approval, and Con Edison has agreed to all of the conditions. Mr. Fink was asked how this project came about. He responded that he was contacted by the Blind Brook School District in February of this year. Some work was done, but then things started going sour. The supply system started to fail so Con Edison had to supply another alternative. There have been service failures and, in order to get reliable service back to the school and 900 King Street, it was decided that a similar system to the existing system must be installed. The location of the proposed equipment is on the 900 King Street property. The current equipment, located on Arbor Drive, is old and all of the equipment feeding/cable is failing. This problem is not due to an increased use but rather to the fact that the cable is 35 years old. Wafra, the Board of Trustees Meeting December 14,2004 Page 17 owner of 900 King Street, has agreed to the placement. Mr. Fink noted that the Blind Brook High School and Rye King services are hanging by a thread and Con Edison would like to proceed immediately. Con Edison is anxious to get their customers reliable service. He requested a waiver to the notification process in light of the fact that the residents of the Arbors were already aware of this matter via a meeting held with the Arbors, the School District, and Con Edison. Trustee Feinstein noted that everyone has been working expeditiously. There is an urgency here. The owner of 900 King Street will be signing the agreement momentarily. There are no problems from their viewpoint. Trustee Feinstein noted that the timing was perfect as the work could be done during the school's holiday closing,with less traffic. Trustee Harris questioned who would install the landscaping, and suggested Con Edison hire the vendor that the Arbors uses. Con Edison will be responsible for maintenance. Ms. Timpone Mohamed noted that she was working with Con Edison on the landscape plan and that would be finished by December 150'. Trustee Harris asked for a timeframe for completion of the installation, to which Mr. Fink responded that everything would be completed within 36 hours. He also noted that once the easement was wrapped up, Con could mobilize and be prepared to commence on Monday, December 200'. Deputy Mayor Santon noted that the PUD site plan must be modified. Mr. Fink noted that a site plan has been obtained by Wafra. TRUSTEE BUZIN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE FEINSTEIN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE HARRIS VOTING AYE DEPUTY MAYOR SANTON VOTING AYE 7.

TRUSTEE BUZIN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE FEINSTEIN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE HARRIS VOTING AYE DEPUTY MAYOR SANTON VOTING AYE To accommodate a member of the Port Chester Board of Education, Deputy Mayor Santon asked the Board's permission to take a Discussion Item out of order. DISCUSSION ITEM: RESERVED PARKING FOR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF ON STREETS NEAR THE PORT CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL. Trustee Santon began the discussion. If legally permitted, he suggested reserving the parking near the High School for Teachers and Staff. Trustee Buzin noted that he reviewed this matter as the liaison for the Port Chester School District. The consensus is that this would be a good way to take care of some of the problems surrounding parking near the school. He deferred to the Village Attorney for his opinion as to whether or not this would be legal. Trustee Feinstein also asked for recommendations from legal counsel. She noted that, subject to interpretation, she was in favor of this matter. Mr. Bradbury noted that this decision could be challenged. He also suggested that the matter be referred to legal counsel. Mr. Beane suggested that, prior to January 1, 2005, the information be put together for George Latimer to be presented on January 11, 2005. A letter will be written to the Attorney General. Mr. Bradbury noted that the school district has been reaching out to the neighbors. They have their maintenance staff out cleaning up daily and are also working on the loitering problem. Board of Trustees Meeting December 14,2004 Page 20 Mr. Lupo, president of the Port Chester Board of Education, addressed the Board. He thanked the Board for their consideration, and felt that this type of reserved parking was a good avenue to pursue. He noted that the Board of Education is also addressing the issue of parking, and has proposed a parking lot on the College Avenue side for the teachers that would consist of 20 spaces. This parking lot is proposed for school property located directly in front of the gym. Another parking lot is also being considered for the opposite side of the school, adjacent to the area of the proposed science wing. Deputy Mayor Santon suggested that Counsel review the matter to find out if it can be accomplished by local law or, if not, whether the Village should seek the opinion of the Attorney General. He also noted that the matter could be referred to Mr. Latimer who has offered his assistance to Rye Brook as a newly appointed Assemblyman. Mr. Beane noted that he would draft a proposed local law. 9. AUTHORIZING INSTALLATION OF ADVISORY 15 MPH SPEED LIMIT SIGNS AND CURVE WARNING SIGNS ON TALCOTT ROAD. Mr. Bradbury read the resolution.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook hereby authorizes the Department of Public Works to install advisory 15 mph speed limit signs on Talcott Road and to install curve warning signs, such as W 1-9 and W 1-10, as listed in the State of New York Title 17 Transportation Volume B in front of 9 Talcott Road and 60 Talcott Road. Mr. Bradbury noted that this was not a change to the Village's Code. Under State Law the Village has the right to install these types of signs.

Trustee Buzin noted that the members of the Board of Trustees Meeting December 14,2004 Page 21 Homeowners Association were in attendance at two Traffic Commission meetings. A letter was submitted to the Village by the Talcott Board president. This is a matter of traffic safety for the residents of this roadway, and those driving on the roadway.

TRUSTEE BUZIN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE FEINSTEIN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE HARRIS VOTING AYE DEPUTY MAYOR SANTON VOTING AYE ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: Mr. Bradbury began his update with a brief discussion of the King Street Fields. He noted that the Traffic Flow Study would be finished soon. Now that the Board has given the authorization to extend contracts to Thomas Group, there is a lot of work ahead. At this time the Village is working with the Blind Brook School District, coordinating the construction of the detention basin. The Task Force will review the schematic and they will meet with the architect in January. Mr. Bradbury noted that the sanitation calendars for 2005 were currently out for printing. They would be distributed before the beginning of the year. He noted that the Leaf Collection Program was winding down. On January 1, 2005 the collection switches to bags. Mr. Bradbury gave a brief update of the Firehouse. OLD BUSINESS: Trustee Santon reminded the Board that F.P. Clark owes the Village a study of Bellefair and the 29 acres of parkland as it pertains to the Recreation Zone. This discussion started back in 2003, and will be discussed at the next Board of Trustee meeting. DISCUSSION ITEMS Board of Trustees Meeting December 14,2004 Page 24 MOVING THE VILLAGE ELECTIONS TO NOVEMBER AND/OR HAVING THE COUNTY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING THE ELECTION: Trustee Feinstein suggested the Village consider moving the Village elections from March to November. This could not be done until 2006. One of the reasons was the weather in March versus the weather in November, which allow more residents the opportunity to vote. She noted that the turnout for March elections in recent years has not been good. In addition, there would be a better turn out if the elections were coupled with those of November. Elections are very labor-intensive and are now scheduled at the same time that Village staff is putting together the budget. Other reasons to consider moving the elections is better weather for campaigning, and only having the signs installed in November versus both in March and November. Trustee Feinstein noted that other communities have reviewed this matter. She asked that this matter be researched to see if Rye Brook would like to pursue. Consensus of the Board was that this matter should be reviewed further. Mr. Bradbury was asked to handle this matter. VILLAGE TAKING OVER CONTROL OF RIDGE STREET: Trustee Feinstein asked for the consensus of the Board. She noted that she was in favor of pursuing this matter. Taking control of the road would put the Village in control of the northern spine of the Village. UPDATE AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 214—SPRINKLER SYSTEMS: It was noted that this matter will be addressed during an Executive Session and then added to the agenda for January 11, 2005 Board of Trustee meeting. Deputy Mayor Santon called for public comments. There were none. Deputy Mayor Santon announced that the next Board of Trustee Meetings were scheduled for January 11, 2005 and January 25, 2005. On a motion made by Trustee Feinstein, and seconded by Trustee Buzin, the meeting was adjourned at 11:05 p.m., and an Executive Session was scheduled for immediately following the meeting.
