Brown Trustee Toby S. Marrow Trustee Jeffrey B. Rednick Trustee Paul S. Rosenberg Mayor Joan L. Feinstein STAFF: Christopher J. Bradbury, Village Administrator David Burke, Assistant to the Village Administrator Gregory Austin, Chief of Police Robert Bertolacci, Parks and Recreation Superintendent Jennifer Gray, Esq., Village Counsel Michal Nowak, Acting Village Engineer Fred Seifert, Public Access Coordinator Paula Patafio, Meeting Secretary Mayor Joan L. Feinstein called the September 13, 2011 regular meeting of the Board of Trustees to order. She called for the first item on the agenda under Public Hearings. Board of Trustees Meeting Page 2 of 18 September 13,2011 PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1) Public hearing to consider a proposed local law amending Chapter 6 of the Village Code regarding the BelleFair Middle Income Development Program Mayor Feinstein noted that this was a continuation of a public hearing. The last discussion held on this matter was a passionate discussion regarding what happens if the eligible owner passes away. She called for members of the public wishing to address the Board. Mark Greenwald of 4 Parade Lane addressed the Board. He noted that he did not have information on the latest revisions to the local law. He asked for clarification regarding retirement and residing in the home ten months out of the year. Mayor Feinstein noted that this scenario is what started the discussion. The proposed legislation says that the units shall be owner occupied. The intent of the local law is that the owner cannot vacate the premises and allow adult children to occupy the unit. Jennifer Gray, Esq., Village Counsel, noted that New York State and the Internal Revenue Service have a ruling that you must reside in the state a certain numbers of days per year in order to be considered a resident of a state for tax purposes. Mayor Feinstein stated that the Board grappled with this issue. Trustee Michael Brown noted that there are two types of groups that can occupy the units: the owner and the owners' family. The intent is that the owner must be in possession and must reside in the unit. The scenario that was trying to be corrected was that the eligible owner cannot move out and allow his/her adult children to remain. Mr. Greenwald requested a copy of the Village's Code in connection with the BelleFair Middle Income Development Program. Mr. Christopher Bradbury, Village Administrator, presented Mr. Greenwald with a copy of the local law and noted that the document is also available online. The spirit of these units was to allow the people who are serving the community the opportunity to stay in the units. The wording of the local law would need to be changed to allow the eligible owner to be away for a certain amount of time per year. Mayor Feinstein noted that there is a provision for requesting a waiver. Board of Trustees Meeting Page 3 of 18 September 13,2011 Trustee Paul Rosenberg noted that this local law is an improvement over what existed before. Trustee Brown felt that additional amendments should be made so that the Village can act upon issues that arise. Mr. Greenwald stated that he is one of the original owners. He noted that he was very sensitive to this issue. Mayor Feinstein stated that once the legislation is passed there will be more clarity. Mr. Bradbury noted that a clear definition of the word "owner" must be listed. Trustee Rosenberg felt that the Board needs to go back to some of the core proceedings to review guidance that was given. There were no other members of the public wishing to address the Board on this matter. Mayor Feinstein asked that the matter be adjourned to the October 11, 2011 Board of Trustee meeting. With the consensus of the Board, the public hearing was adjourned. Mayor Feinstein noted that the balance of the agenda would be taken out of order. As a result of the recent storms and the amount of rain, there was flooding in Rye Brook. Dolph Rotfeld, Village Engineering Consultant, was asked to come and give a report about the basin at Edgewood Drive, flooding and what can be done in the future to avoid flooding. Mr. Rotfeld noted that recent storms have done quite a bit of damage. The good news is that the basin at Edgewood did its job. Without the basin the water level would have been 4 inches higher. One of things that needs to be done now is to look back. A measure should be installed at the basin and measurements must be taken during a storm every few hours to see what the water level is. Next steps will depend on what happens with an intensity of rainfall and when it occurs. When the intensity of the storm occurs after the ground has been saturated, there will be more runoff. The design of the basin takes into account the absorption quality of the ground. When the ground is already saturated then runoff will be at a greater level. Mr. Rotfeld noted that the computer models used to design the basin do not take into account the saturation levels of the ground. Mayor Feinstein noted that a resident of Acker Drive stated that in 2007 during the Noreaster the water was close to coming into his home. After the recent storms there was no water in his home. He felt that the basin helped. Mr. Rotfeld agreed; the basin did help. Board of Trustees Meeting Page 4 of 18 September 13,2011 Mr. Rotfeld stated that the Village needs to see how the basin reacted. He pointed out that there are two basins near the Hutch, adjacent to the on ramp going towards Connecticut. These basins need to be checked. The goal is to prevent flooding in the future. He also suggested looking at Rich Manor Park for storage of the storm water runoff. He made a suggestion of creating a berm or expanding or excavating on the side of the brook to create more storage. He did not suggest that trees be removed. Mayor Feinstein noted that many of the projects proposed in 2002 have been completed, and the Village continues to look for ways to stop flooding. Mr. Rotfeld stated that a rain gauge should be put on the roof of Village Hall. Hurricane storms have cells that move, meaning that in one place there is an inch of water and in other places there are three inches of water. Mayor Feinstein noted the Village is sensitive to everyone's flooding issues. The basin worked the way that it was supposed to. No one ever said that it would prevent flooding. There have been several stories recently that would have resulted in flooding if the basin was not there. Mr. Rotfeld noted that leaves and twigs blocked catch basins and pipes. These catch basins must be kept clear of debris. Peter Sinet of Indian Village addressed the Board. He noted that he has resided there for many years. He stated that he did some measurements over the years, and has pictures of various storms. He can tell the Village what happened during those storms. The dam at Bowman Avenue is approximately 22 feet high. During the most recent storm, the water level was about 2 1/2 feet over the dam. Many of the stores and business in Rye were under water. The storm in 2007 was a more serious scenario. He noted that he had some thoughts about the Sluice Gate and the size of the dam. He felt that everyone should work together to help stop the flooding. The dam was built in 1940. It works 99% of the time during normal storms. He invited the City of Rye, Rye Brook, Nita Lowey, etc. to come and speak with him. It is time that everyone comes together to fix the flooding. Mr. Bradbury noted that a study was done regarding the upper and lower ponds and the Sluice Gate project was a result of the study. The water that comes into the upper pond comes from the western branch of the Blind Brook. There are three branches of the Blind Brook. This is a regional issue and there needs to be regional input. Mr. Sinet noted that having 100 year floods within four years means things are becoming serious. Mr. Rotfeld noted that many years ago the soil conservation service proposed a dam north of Anderson Hill Road on the SUNY property and a Board of Trustees Meeting Page 5 of 18 September 13,2011 second dam on the west branch of the Blind Brook (off of Purchase Street). This never happened, and the idea of constructing two dams went away. He felt that a dam at Anderson Hill Road would solve many of the problems. Mr. Bradbury stated that additional discussions need to take place, starting with a review of the 2002 report. Mayor Feinstein noted that the Village has made tremendous progress in the projects noted in the 2002 report. The work under the Rye Brook Athletic Fields and Loch Lane were very successful. She agreed that additional discussion was needed. Mayor Feinstein returned to the agenda, noting that resolution #1, Considering a proposed local law amending Chapter 6 of the Village Code regarding the BelleFair Middle Income Development Program, was adjourned. She called for resolution#2: RESOLUTIONS: 2. Considering the appointment of a Police Officer Mr. Bradbury read the following resolution: RESOLUTION CONSIDERING THE APPOINTMENT OF A POLICE OFFICER RESOLVED, that Paul D'Amore of 801 Bronx River Road, 6D, Bronxville, New York, is hereby appointed to the position of Police Officer with the Village of Rye Brook, subject to the Civil Service procedures of the State of New York including passing a medical exam and approval by the Westchester County Department of Human Resources; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that the annual salary is $47,978 with an effective start date of October 3, 2011.

Jennifer Gray, Esq., Village Counsel, noted that this matter has been before the Planning Board. The Planning Board reviewed the matter and public comments were taken, and the Planning Board made its recommendations. Some of the deadlines are very stringent and should be changed. Mayor Feinstein noted that a task force met several times. The timeframes should be changed prior to holding the public hearing. The consensus of the Board was that three years was an appropriate timeframe as applications are accepted annually. The Board discussed the timeframe involved. Trustee Brown requested some minor changes to the wording in the local law. Mayor Feinstein noted that there are incentives to streamline the process and to lower the costs. Trustee Brown made a motion to amend section (E)(5) from two years to three years. Trustee Rednick seconded the motion.

Mr. Bradbury noted that the City of Rye will have ongoing costs of maintenance. Rye Brook will get real time data on what is going on. Trustee Brown noted that there were two phases. The pre-acceptance phase and the acceptance phase. He felt that maintenance should not be charged to the Village of Rye Brook.
