Mayor Rand returned to the agenda, and called for the first public hearing:
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1) CONSIDERING AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTERS 250 AND 219 OF THE
VILLAGE CODE AND ADOPTION OF THE GREENWAY COMPACT
PLAN
Mr. Bradbury noted that Westchester County has funding available. The next step
in the procedure would be for the Village to put into legislation projects that are
consistent with the Greenway Compact Plan, since the Village would now be
eligible for certain grants. Mr. Bradbury noted that these amendments make a lot
of sense for the Village of Rye Brook.
Marilyn Timpone Mohamed, Village Planning Consultant, noted that she reviewed
the Compact and did not find anything that the Village has not already done
proactively, or that the Village is not already doing through the review process of
applications. The plus side is the additional backing from the County.
Mr. Bradbury noted that the Village would still have the opportunity to make its
own decisions. If policies are changed, the Village could back out.
Trustee Joan Feinstein wanted to be sure that there would not be additional costs
to applicants. Ms. Timpone Mohamed responded that these policy changes would
apply to sub-divisions, rezoning, and commercial developments as opposed the
small applications since these agricultural changes are too large for a small
applications.
On a motion made by Trustee Rosenberg, and seconded by Trustee Sanders
Romano, the public hearing was closed.

VILLAGE CODE REGARDING A PROPOSED STOP SIGN ON OLD OAK
ROAD
Mr. Bradbury noted that this amendment originated from a resident's concern after

Commission, and after its review the recommendation to install a stop sign was
referred to the Board of Trustees.
Greg Austin, Police Chief, noted that the Police Department was aware of the
recommendation, and had also reviewed the traffic flow in the area. They agree
with the Traffic Commission's recommendation.
Mayor Rand called for members of the public wishing to address the Board on this
matter.

was a tremendous amount of traffic that traversed this blind corner. He stated that
over the past eight months he noticed a lot of close calls. The resident pointed out

children under the age of eight. This stop sign will be a safety improvement.

Mr. Victor Carosi, Village Engineer, noted that he would work on ordering the

APPLICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT ON BOWMAN AVENUE,
SECTION 1, BLOCK 22, LOTS 2B AND 2132
Mayor Rand noted that this matter was adjourned to the January 9, 2007 meeting
at the request of the applicant.
Mr. Bradbury stated that the public hearing was now scheduled to follow the
findings statement. He also stated that the application is moving ahead.
Mr. Bradbury noted that after the SEQRA portion has been closed then the Village
can accept conveyance of the portion of land being donated to the Village.
Ms. Timpone Mohamed noted that the dedication of land to the Village was not
part of the original application. The applicant is proposing development of the
peninsula and not the strip. She noted that the DEIS and the FEIS do not discuss
the environmental implications of development of that strip. An analysis must be
completed, and then reviewed by the Board.

RESOLUTION
REFERRING APPLICATIONS TO AMEND AN APPROVED SITE PLAN AND A
SPECIAL PERMIT TO INSTALL AN ATTACHED WIRELESS
TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY AT 4 INTERNATIONAL DRIVE
SUBMITTED BY NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC ON BEHALF OF
RECKSON OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, LP
WHEREAS, New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC submitted applications to
the Village of Rye Brook on behalf of the property owner Reckson Operating
Partnership, LP, to amend an approved site plan and obtain a special permit to add
an attached telecommunications facility to the roof of Building #4, International
Drive, Reckson Office Park, Rye Brook, New York, in the OB-1 Zoning District
and the King Street Scenic Roads Overlay Zoning District.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, as approval authority for the
application, the Village of Rye Brook Board of Trustees hereby declares itself Lead
Agency pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), and
having reviewed the Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) and supporting
documents prepared by the Applicant classifies the project as an Unlisted Action;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Rye Brook refers the subject applications to the Westchester County
Department of Planning, the Town of Greenwich, the Rye Brook Planning Board,
the Rye Brook Technology and Communications Commission and the consulting
firm of HDR/LMS for review and comment.
Anthony Gioffre, Esq., of the firm of Worby and Cuddy, addressed the Board as
legal representative for the applicant. He noted that the applicant was aware of a
gap of coverage in the area. After a review of the possible sites for a wireless
telecommunications facility, discussions began with the owner of Reckson Park
for 4 International Drive. The proposed facility will be constructed on top of the
Board of Trustees Meeting
November 14,2006
Page 9
existing building. The applicant has made every effort to screen the facility, and it
will be virtually invisible from the street.
Mayor Rand questioned whether or not co-location would be considered.
Mr. Gioffre noted that this was an application from Cingular. If another company
was interested in constructing a facility in this area they would have to approach
the landlord and go through this same process that Cingular has. He reminded the
Board that the proposed installation was an attached wire facility and not a cell
tower.
Mayor Rand asked whether Westchester County Airport has been advised of the
proposed facility. Mr. Gioffre noted that the proximity to the airport was taken
into consideration.
Trustee Michael Brown questioned the amount of space would be needed if
collocation was considered. Mr. Gioffre noted that every carriers' requirements
are different. He pointed out that there are four (4) buildings on this campus,
which meant that there was sufficient room for additional carriers, however, he
could only comment that the application meets Cingular's needs and requirements.
Trustee Sanders Romano noted that some of the houses in Bellefair look down on
this facility. Mr. Gioffre noted that the self-enclosed walls would be visible. In
regard to Cingular's application, he noted that the applicant has proposed
screening for the penthouse and the equipment cabinets.
On a motion made by Trustee Rosenberg, and seconded by Trustee
Sanders-Romano, the resolution was adopted.

the proposed local law.
Mr. Bradbury gave the Board a brief history. He began by noting that there was a
definition for places of public assembly within the Village's Code. Although the
language is off, the concept is on target. Every year the Building Inspector has to
inspect places of public assembly with the safety of its occupancy as the goal. The
proposed amendments update the Village's law.
Trustee Rosenberg questioned whether or not a new permit fee was being
instituted. Mr. Bradbury noted that the fees were already part of the Code.
Trustee Rosenberg pointed out that the larger facilities take a lot of time to inspect.
On a motion made by Trustee Sanders-Romano, and seconded by Trustee Brown,
the resolution was adopted.

Mayor Rand called upon Mr. Bradbury for the Administrator's Report:
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
Mr. Bradbury began his report with an update on the ball fields. He noted that the fields
are being used and everything looks great.
The Village continues to review its legislation. The Board of Trustees is attempting to
make the process easier for residents in regard to smaller projects.
Mr. Bradbury was pleased to report that the road surfacing work is on target and will be
starting in the spring. There is also a sidewalk program that is expected to start soon.
The Village was fortunate enough to receive funding from Westchester County for this
project.
At this time the Village's staff is working to repair potholes on Village streets.
Mr. Bradbury noted that the leaf program was now running six days a week, and things
are running very smoothly. He, once again, reminded the residents to make sure that all
leaf piles are free of sticks, branches, and other debris.
Mayor Rand called upon Mr. Victor Carosi, Village Engineer, for a status report on the
Nextel flagpole/cell installation. Mr. Victor Carosi noted that this matter was before the
Village for some time. It has gone through a lengthy process, and a resolution was
adopted. At this point the structural analysis is moving forward, and there are a few
minor items left to be dealt with. All in all, everything is coming together. With a good
cooperative effort from Nextel it is reasonable to expect that the entire package will be in
the Building Inspectors hands by the end of December.
Mayor Rand noted that there would now be two flag poles located on the same campus.
Mr. Carosi responded that this cell tower is a flagpole, and the proposed flag will be very
large. This matter will be looked into, and if it is found that it is over kill having two
flagpoles in such close proximity, the existing one could be moved.

of Santa Claus at the Rye Ridge Shopping Center. He hoped that everyone would join in
both festivities.
Mayor Rand noted that the next Board of Trustees meetings were scheduled for
November 28, 2006 and December 12, 2006.
As there was no further business before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at
