PUBLIC HEARING
2) CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSED LOCAL LAW AMENDING CHAPTER
196 OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK TO DISTINGUISH
BETWEEN THE USE OF SATELLITE EARTH STATION ANTENNAS UPON
RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, AND TO EXEMPT
CERTAIN SATELLITE EARTH STATION ANTENNAS FROM PERMIT,
LICENSURE AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
Mayor Rand declared the public hearing open.
Trustee Rosenberg addressed the Board and summarized the proposed law. He stated
that the purpose of this local law is to bring to compliance anyone who has a direct
broadcast satellite antenna on their house, which under the current Code is illegal. In
addition it also addresses commercial satellite uses as well. If you are in a residence you
can have a satellite dish on your roof less than one meter without having to apply for a
permit from the Village. However, Trustee Rosenberg asked what would happen to those
residences and commercial business that already have a satellite antenna greater than one
meter.
Mr. Beane stated that language could, and would, be included in the proposed law that
would grandfather those individuals that already have a satellite antenna greater than one
meter in diameter.
Mayor Rand called for a motion to close the public hearing. A motion was made by
Trustee Rosenberg, and seconded by Trustee Buzin. The public hearing was closed.

4) RESOLUTIONS CONSIDERING WRNN REQUEST FOR APPEAL OF BOARD
OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW DECISION.
Mr. Rang read the resolution:
RESOLUTION
REVERSAL OF THE DECISION AND ACTION
OF THE RYE BROOK BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
DISAPPROVING A BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION FOR
800 WESTCHESTER AVENUE ON BEHALF OF
WRNN-TV ASSOCIATES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
WITH REGARD TO THE INSTALLATION OF
TEN SATELLITE EARTH STATION ANTENNAES
VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK BOARD OF TRUSTEES
WHEREAS, on July 12, 2005, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook issued
a Resolution approving the Modified Site Plan of 800 Westchester Avenue on behalf of WRNN-
TV Associates Limited Partnership subject to certain conditions; and
WHEREAS, said conditions included:
A vinyl panel fence will be installed to enclose the area where the satellite
earth station antennas will be installed subject to the satisfaction of the Planning
Consultant. The color of all dishes and fences shall be white. A vinyl panel fence
is preferable to a stockade fence. (emphasis added)
and
WHEREAS, thereafter, the Applicant appeared before the Board of Architectural
Review for approval of its application for a Building Permit; and
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the condition in the Board of Trustees July 12, 2005,
Modified Site Plan Approval concerning the type of fencing to be installed, the Board of
Architectural Review ("BAR") disapproved the application for a Building Permit based on its
finding that a white aluminum security fence rather than a white vinyl panel fence was required
to be installed; and
WHEREAS, based on the BAR's disapproval, the Building Inspector issued a
determination denying WRNN's request for a Building Permit; and
WHEREAS, WRNN has appealed the disapprovals of the BAR and Building Inspector
to the Board of Trustees pursuant to § 8-10 of the Village Code; and
WHEREAS, the Village Board has duly considered WRNN's appeal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, that the Village Board of the
Village of Rye Brook reverses the determination of the BAR rejecting the Applicant's
Application for a Building Permit based on its rejection of the white vinyl panel fence to enclose
the area where the satellite earth station antennas will be installed, notwithstanding that this
requirement was a condition imposed by the Village Board's July 12, 2005 Conditional Modred
Site Plan Approval; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Building Inspector is directed to issue a
Building Permit to WRNN in accordance with the condition concerning the fencing set forth in
its July 12, 2005 Conditional Modified Site Plan Resolution.
Trustee Feinstein noted that this is a tough determination. The Board is appealing a
decision of the Architectural Review Board. She recognizes that this committee works
very hard and valiantly however, there are now three conflicting decisions. The
Architectural Review Board determined that the white vinyl panel fence would not be
suitable at this location. Conversely, The Planning Board, Technology and
Communications Commission and the Village Board had already approved this action.
This is a safety issue and feels that the white vinyl panel fence is the proper action.
Representing the applicant, Anthony Gioffre of Cuddy and Feder, addressed the Board.
After consultation with the landlord of the premises, the owner stated that they would
prefer installing an aluminum panel fence instead of a vinyl panel fence. Therefore, Mr.
Gioffre requests that the resolution be modified to install an aluminum fence.
On a motion made by Trustee Rosenberg, and seconded by Trustee Brown, the resolution
was adopted.
