Rosenberg STAFF: David Burke, Assistant to the Village Administrator Amanda Kandel, Esq., Village Counsel Gregory Austin, Chief of Police Michal Nowak, Acting Village Engineer Fred Seifert, Public Access Coordinator Shari Melillo, Meeting Secretary Mayor Feinstein welcomed everyone to the November 9, 2010 Board of Trustees meeting. She began the meeting asking Officer John Hawkins to lead in the Pledge of Allegiance. Mayor Feinstein introduced Officer Hawkins to the public, congratulated him on his retirement and proceeded to read the proclamation that was presented to him tonight. Mayor Feinstein stated that it was an honor to have Officer Hawkins working for our community and wished him well on behalf of the Board and the public. Chief Austin addressed the Board and spoke briefly of Officer Hawkin's accomplishments and thanked him for his dedication and loyalty to the residents of the village and wished him luck in his future endeavors. Board of Trustees Meeting November 9, 2010 Page 2 Officer Hawkins introduced his family to the Board and Chief Austin presented him with his retirement badge and identification card. Officer Hawkins thanked everyone and said it was an honor to work for the village and that he tried to be a good role model for the community and looks forward to spending more time with his family. Mayor Feinstein wanted to take a minute to advise the Board and the public about former Mayor Larry Rand's wife, Madelon, and her receiving the Jacob Javits Award at a banquet being held this week. Mrs. Rand is receiving the award because of all the exceptional work she and her family have done for decades in the fight against Lou Gehrig's disease. The disease has plagued Mrs. Rand's family and sadly, she is also fighting the disease valiantly and with courage. Mayor Feinstein will be attending the ceremony representing Rye Brook, not only as Mayor but also as a long time family friend. Mayor Feinstein can think of no one more fitting to deserve this award noting that the Rand's have been instrumental in this Village and Mrs. Rand has been quite a role model for the community. First item on the agenda: REPORT: (1) Sketch Plan Application: Bowridge Commons, Barber Place The Mayor explained that this is an affordable housing proposal located at Barber Place and Bowman Avenue. It is not a formal application but just an informal process that the Village has implemented that allows the Board to see what is being proposed and to relay their thoughts and concerns to the applicant. Mr. Anthony Federico, a representative of the Madonnas who are the owners of the property for the proposed development. He stated that the proposed site plan is to construct 9 attached residents of which 8 will be 2 families and the 9t' will be a three family with an apartment at the ground floor. The entrance to the complex is on Bowman Avenue and the exit is on Barber Place. Mr. Federico displayed a rendering of the proposed development. Mr. Bradbury asked for a clarification on the number of units to which Mr. Federico responded that there are 19. They are being offered as affordable housing units meeting the criteria of the Westchester County Affordable Housing settlement agreement. Board of Trustees Meeting November 9, 2010 Page 3 Mayor Feinstein explained that the current zoning would not permit this type of development and that upon an application a variance would be required including a special use permit etc. She also pointed out that there is no green space at all within the development. Trustee Brown is concerned about the impacts on the Port Chester school system. Mayor Feinstein agrees adding that copies of the sketch plan were sent to the Port Chester Superintendent of Schools as a courtesy. The Mayor stated that there is a potential for 38 children and it seems this development is being proposed to families but she would like to see some single bedroom units for senior citizens or a younger single person. Any influx to the school population places a burden on the school resources and that is a concern of the Board of Trustees. Trustee Brown believes that with the exception of the ninth unit, elderly people would not be attracted to these units because of the stairs and that it seems to be geared to families and again that is a concern in regard to the schools. The Mayor explained that the board has final approval authority in regard to affordable housing. The process is a two step procedure as applications have to also go before the planning board for review. Trustee Marrow asked about parking spaces and the number allocated. Mr. Federico responded that they had not allocated for that as they were not sure what the car impact would be for a two bedroom unit. Mayor Feinstein believes that adding one bedroom units would assist in the parking concern as well. She thinks it is a lovely plan but is concerned with the lack of green space. She would suggest that the units be broken up to add some green space and again would also like to see one bedroom units considered to allow for singles as well as families. As the plan progresses she would also like to have a discussion with the Port Chester schools to keep them in the loop. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (1) Public hearing to consider a proposed local law amending Chapter 240 of the Village Code regarding no parking on Wyman Street and Wyman Street North On a motion made by Trustee Michael Brown and seconded by Trustee Jeffrey Rednick, the public hearing was declared open. Mr. David Burke, Assistant to the Administrator, called the roll: Board of Trustees Meeting November 9, 2010 Page 4 Trustee Michael S. Brown Voting Aye Trustee Toby S. Marrow Voting Aye Trustee Jeffrey B. Rednick Voting Aye Trustee Paul S. Rosenberg Absent Mayor Joan L. Feinstein Voting Aye Mr. Bradbury began the discussion explaining that this proposal was generated by a concerned resident. The concern was referred to the Traffic Commission who provided input to the Board. The concerns include access for emergency vehicles, school buses, highway trucks and sanitation trucks as well. The goal is to open the street to allow safe access for emergency vehicles, but at the same time the Board realized there are impacts in regard to the reduction of parking spaces available. Mayor Feinstein added that the Ambulance Corp had also reviewed the situation and they have concerns as well too about access in and out of the mentioned streets. Mr. Valdez, 11 Wyman Street, addressed the Board stating he has read the proposal and while he agrees with the concern in regard to the emergency vehicles, is concerned about where people are going to park. He presented 5 letters of opposition to the Village Administrator for the Board to review. Mr. David Johnson, 10 Wyman Street North, addressed the Board and believes this whole traffic problem arose in the last year and believes the insurgence of so many people may be due to homeowners taking in renters. He believes that eliminating parking on the south side of Wyman would alleviate a bulk of the problems that exist. The question is that there is a tremendous influx of cars now and he too is concerned about emergency vehicle access. Mayor Feinstein noted that the Village does have a Safe Housing Task Force to deal with illegal rentals which in this case may or not be the issue. Her concern is if there is an emergency the worst thing would be not being able to get to someone in need. Catherine Hay, 4 Wyman Street, addressed the Board and stated that her family has to back in and out of their driveway otherwise they cannot get out. She agrees that are so many more cars now and it is becoming increasingly problematic. She has to bang on doors at 7:00 in the morning to ask people to move cars so that her granddaughter's school bus can get through. She also knows of some instances where ambulances were needed and it scares her that maybe they won't be able to get through. She understands there is overcrowding on the street and she has spoken to the Village about it but she is scared for her family's safety and really Board of Trustees Meeting November 9, 2010 Page 5 needs help from the Village with this. She wanted it known that she is in agreement with the proposed plan and thanked the Board for all they have done and what they are attempting to do. Chief Austin addressed the board noting that this problem started back in August and the Traffic Commission and Sgt. Arnold observed the street at different times of the day and did sketches of the area at different times to see when the most congestion was taking place. They also had a fire truck come and try to navigate the street with the cars parked there and it was very very tight and difficult. The same scenario occurred with highway trucks, ambulances and school buses. The Traffic Commission proposed this plan which addresses the problem areas and in his opinion, is a good plan. Mayor Feinstein in closing noted that if the Village moves forward with the plan and it doesn't work, it can be reversed. Chief Austin added that the Traffic Commission meets every other month and they will follow up on this and any problems that arise can and will be addressed. As there was no further questions or comments, Mayor Feinstein called for a motion to close the Public Hearing. On a motion made by Trustee Brown and seconded by Trustee Rednick, the Public Hearing was closed. Mr. Burke called the roll: Trustee Michael S. Brown Voting Aye Trustee Toby S.

When the signs are put up, the restriction will be in place. Mayor Feinstein acknowledged Assemblyman George Latimer in the audience and congratulated him on his recent re-election. Assemblyman Latimer addressed the Board and thanked them for their support as well as the publics. He suggested that there may be Home Rule matters that the Board might want to propose, and if so to do it soon. He added that with the new Governor there will be changes in the major departments and believes the King Street Bridge will be addressed again by the new Transportation Commissioner. They are not yet certain who the new State Senator is because of the close vote but believes that being ahead of the game will allow us to accomplish more. Board of Trustees Meeting November 9, 2010 Page 7 Mayor Feinstein added that the hotel tax was a major accomplishment and thanked him for his help with that. The Board will consider everything suggested and thanked him again for all his hard work.
