RES() I IO Sa 1. CONSIDERING THE APPROVAL OF THE 20002001 VILLAGE BUDGET, RV,_$OI.UTION VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK 2000-2001 BUDGET WHERE,AS,the Board of Trustees met on the 11th day of April, 2000, pursuant to the Notice of Public Hearing regarding the Tentative 2000-2001 Budget, and has heard all persons desiring to be heard thereon. i I 1 f SQLKTJ9N AWARDING CONTRACT#0001 TREE REMOVAL AND PRUNING WHEREAS, the Village of Rye Brook has solicited bid proposals for Contract#0001 entitled"Tree Removal and Pruning"; and WHEREAS, a public notice was duly advertised in an official newspaper of the Village of Rye Brook;and WHEREAS, at 10:00 a.m. E.S.T., Wednesday, April 12, 2000, the Village of Rye Brook publicly opened and read two (2) proposals; and WHEREAS, on reviewing the bids, the Village Engineer has determined that the lowest responsible bidder meeting requirements for the work to be performed is Central Tree Service, Inc. of Rye, New York for the total approximate bid price of$16,970, NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED, that Contract#0001 entitled"Tree Removal and Pruning"is hereby awarded to Central Tree Service, Inc. of Rye,New York for the total approximate bid price of$16,870, and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute the contract and all documents necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this Resolution. Trustee Lawrence Rand inquired as to when and where this work would begin. Mr. Russo responded that the work would start immediately, although he was not sure where the work would begin. Mr. Russe also stated that the Village Engineer has gone over this proposal and noted the trees that are in the worst stages of decay, These trees will be attended to first. Trustee Degling noted that in the past there were contracts to remove or pane specific trees. This was a generic contract with a cost for trees of varying sizes. Instead of having to repeatedly go through the contract and bidding proposal,the Village Engineer will have the contract and be able to have decayed trees removed and overgrown trees trimmed. This is a more economical and more efficient way to meet the problem. Many of these trees are potential liabilities that need to be taken care of and this contract is a good step forward. 3 r i 0 r 3 i k NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RE,SOLVED,that the Tentative Budget as hereinafter set forth and amended by the Board of Trustees, is hereby adapted this 25"day of April, 2000 and be it FURTHER RESOLVED,that the amounts listed therein for payment of principal and interest on indebtedness, and that maintenance account charges be paid, and that the salaries,wages, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment for all employees, including those not represented by a bargaining unit, shall be paid such salaries and benefits as have been determined by the Board of"Trustees. Mr. Russo noted the various changes made to the budget by the Board during the review process and various work sessions. One change to the budget was in the capital budget where a proposal for read resurfacing was amended to $70,000. This included a short- term borrowing of up to $500,000. It also included additional roads and sidewalk restoration in various areas of the Village. In addition, the Board added funding for a second Police officer, which will bring the total police force up to 27. The senior program budget was also increased by $2,000 for the subsidized nutrition program that will be held at the Don Bosco Center. Also reflected in the budget was a serial bond for future borrowing for the construction of the Rye Brook Fire House. The bottom line of these changes has been to reduce the proposed tax rate increase from 4.28%to 2.77%.

CONSIDERING THE COMPLETENESS OF THE DEIS FOR THE BOWMAN AVENUE PROJECT, DATED FE1BRUAR'Y 8, 2000, Mr. Christian Miller, of Frederick P. Clark Associates, reviewed the project. Ile noted that the current application before the Board is a Draft Environmental Impact Statement. This document was originally prepared in 1998 and in December of 1998 his office made comments on that document. The purpose of those comments was to make sure that it was complete with regard to compliance with the Scope. The 5 P f Scope is the outline of the DEIS which identifies what information should be provided, and how environmental features should be analyzed. This document was reviewed in December 1998 and comments were made by IF, P.Clark's office, the Village Engineer, and the Village's consultants who have been hired with regard to the contamination on the property. In response to these comments the document was revised and resubmitted over one year later. It has now been reviewed again,and a memo has been prepared for the Board's review. The consultant engineer,Dolph Rotfeld,and the environmental consultant,Tom Maher,ofDvirka and Bartullucci,do not believe that this document is complete at this time. The Board was advised to review the comments and raise any questions they may have. The applicant can be directed to revise the document in accordance with the comments of the consultants. Mr. Miller pointed out that this was a review of the document's completeness which should be differentiated from a review of the document's substance. For example,no judgment was being rendered at this time, as to whether the water quality measures are appropriate,but rather that the measures are put into the document and are clearly explained. Mayor Filipowski asked for further comments from the Board. Trustee Degling noted that in the introduction, on page I of the document,which states, ... "Since the Lead Agency trade a determination of significance regarding the proposed document,prior to January 1, 1996, the applicable SEQRA regulations are these which remain effective June 1, 1987". He questioned this statement and asked what changes had been made in the SEQR law since 1987. He asked if these changes were significant, and if so, how they affected this application. He also wondered if the Board was being asked to deal with a law that expired years ago. Mr. Miller stated that there were some changes in the SEAR procedures however,they did not impact the manner in which a DEIS is prepared nor what kind of information is conveyed. The cote of what gets conveyed in these documents and how they are responded to is still the same. Mr. Miller noted that there were some procedural changes, although he was not aware of what they were. They were comprised of scoping and general procedural changes. Trustee Degling noted that he has some substantive comments but will hold them until later. He did note,however,that the experts have painted out areas that require additional substance and asked that all of their comments, as well as Mr. Miller's and the Advisory Committee's, are taken into full consideration. Mr. Miller agreed with Trustee Degling's request. Mr.Adam Wekstein,a partner in Shamberg,Marwell,Hocherman,Davis,and Hollis, P.C. in Mt.Kisco,addressed the Board as a representative for the applicant. Also in attendance was Casey Devlin, and Tom Julius environmental consultant for the applicant. Mr. Julius noted that he and Mr. Devlin had some differences of opinion with regard to comments made by the Village's consultants. 6 Trustee Herman noted that the Appendix does not reproduce the scope. The segment h of particular concern to him reads as follows "...building: size limited to 4000 gross p� e � S g . square feet of restaurant and/or retail use with associated parking, loading and landscaping all on peninsula portion ofthe site. No development on remaining eastern portion of the site." The applicant was asked to present this alternative in this document. 1Vlr. Wekstein noted that they did intend on addressing that issue, and have prepared a site plan for discussion on this alternative design. This will be presented to the board before any vote is taken, It was noted that the.current plan shows Building g A consisting of'15,980 sq. ft., which is well over the 4000 that was requested in the Scope. Mr. Wekstein noted that the document would be revised. Mr. Wekstein noted that the applicant was surprised and disturbed by the breadth of the comments received,as well as the timing involved. This document was presented to the Board in February. On April 24' they received approximately 18 pages of comments on the document. Most of the comments go well beyond the issue of whether or not this document is complete. He deferred to Mr. Powell for the explanation of completeness. His understanding was that it was designed to determine whether the DEIS, provides a basis for intelligent public comment and agency review. The applicant felt that they are already at and beyond that threshold. They also felt that many of the comments call for the type of information that is normally not required until you reach the final environmental impact statement or a final site plan approval for a project. However, they will respond to all of the comments and provide the Board with a revised document. It was the applicant's intention to have it completed sufficiently in advance of the May 23'meeting. They asked to be placed on the agenda for that meeting so that the application could once again be addressed and, hopefully accepted at that time. They understood that the documents need to be provided at least five days in advance to get on the agenda. Mr.Miller stated that the time frame depends upon the submission. There are time lines specified in the SEQR regulations regarding the review of re-submission and that time frame is longer than five days. Mr. Miller stated that he could not commit to five days,nor could he make a commitment for the consultants who are assisting the Village. Mr. Wekstein again asked that a spot on the agenda to be reserved for this application. Mr. Wekstein noted that a rather extensive submission was made by the Environmental Conservation Advisory Council. They appreciate the concerns of this Board and will address them. He did note,however,that this entire memo addressed substantive concerns regarding what they agree and disagree with. He felt they did not address whether the document complies with the Scope. At this point these are not comments that the applicant intends to be the driving force of the revisions. The comments of that advisory commission will be better addressed as comments on the 7 DEIS, which will be answered along with public comments, the comments of the consultants and the Board's comments. Ile also noted that one of the recommendations was that the Architectural Review Board should be included as an involved agency. Mr.Weinstein questioned whether or not the Architectural Review Board was advisory to the Board of Trustees, without independent approval authority. If they are, then they should be considered an interested agency, but not be an involved agency, Mr. Miller stated that lie would look into this issue. Mayer Filipowski stated that he agreed with many of the comments made by the Advisory Council on Environmental Conservation. A representative for the council, Susan Porto,read a portion of a memo from Michael Siegel. She noted that he was concerned about the wetlands as the applicant has stated that the land portion of the property has no wetlands. While there is no reason to doubt this statement, the Council would like to have it confirmed by the Village's engineer. This wetlands issue is the crux of the application and although the applicant has stated that the wetlands on the site are not particularly good, the Council is not persuaded. Ms.Porto also addressed the issue of flooding. This is an important issue and she felt that a more complete review was necessary. Another issue that she felt heeded to be addressed was water quality. The Council does not believe that the long term impact of the runoff fi•om a newly paved area with a commercial establishment and parking of ears will be offset. There is also a concern regarding petroleum removal. Ms. Porto requested that the document be revised so that it would be clearer. Mr. Miller pointed out that the comments by the advisory council were very thoughtful, however, some of these comments are more substantive in nature. There is another please in the SEQR process where these issues should be addressed. He did,however, find two issues that needed attention in this stage of the process. Both related to the removal of petroleum. Although not agreeing or disagreeing with the applicant's comments,the council has asked for clarification. In terms of a completeness issue, these two comments should be included in the applicant's revision of the document making the remediation action and DEC's involvement clearer. The Council felt these issues should be addressed in the beginning of the process and not at the end. In past reviews,it has been found that by the time an application gets to the ficial DEIS then it is too late to change anything. Trustee Brackman stated that after reviewing letters from the City of Rye, the Westchester Conservation Council and the Planning Board minutes from 1994, she felt the DEIS was incomplete. This document should be revised to better detail the impacts on the City of Rye, Long Island Sound, and other issues of concern. Trustee Degling also commented on the issue of traffic. He felt that the recently opened Home Depot and proposal to use the Tort Chester Middle School properly 8 II i F for a recreation complex should be included in the traffic analysis for this application. He noted that the proposal to build a recreational facility on PCMB grounds includes. a 250 car parking lot directly across the street from the applicant's property. Mayor Filipowski asked Mr. Miller if he could follow up and find out what has actually taken place with regard to clean up work. Mr. Miller stated that he would look into this issue. He also felt that the applicant could also respond to the advisory council's comments. The Mayor noted that the Board of Trustees has concertos regarding the monitoring and maintaining of a flood control system. He asked Mr.Miller what mechanism was in place to verify that something is going to work. There are some sizeable questions about the capability of a filtering system. Mr. Miller stated that the applicant has an engineer whose livelihood is on the line, and in addition the Village Engineer is assisting to verify the information supplied. The analysis must be revised to reflect the changes of the stream; Belle Fair, Reckson's phase three, Red Roof Farm, and Pfizer, all need to be considered in that analysis. Mayor Filipowski asked at what stage the City of Rye needed to be notified of the project. Mr. Miller noted that it has already been done. He added that when the DEIS is deemed complete, the City of Rye will receive a full copy. Mr. Tom Julius addressed the Board. He agreed with the Environmental Council that many of the issues should not be left for the final stage. He felt that as has been the approach, any issues that have to do with ecology should be addressed at the beginning of the process. The Village's consultants are specifically charged with looking at these issues. ERM has also been assigned the task of addressing the Bartalucci comments to give people a sense of comfort. This property was a landfill and no-one has been able to find the source of the contamination — the PRP (principally responsible party). The applicant will notify the Board of what has been dune, who has been contacted, and what has been said. Regarding the wetlands, Mr. Julius asked that the Board beep in mind that this site was a licensed landfill until 1993 or 1994. The site has been opened up, all of the shopping carts have been disposed of and the site was cleaned up. There is even some green appearing now, but when you walk on the property you find yourself mostly walking on blacktop and concrete, but it could become an interesting source of habitat. Nature is coming back and trying to heal this site. The Blind Brook is a special source of water, which has been cleaned up and the applicant is trying to address not only their responsibilities, but also the sites pre-existing issues. The purpose of this process was not to confuse the board, and people in general,but 9 i f to supply the answers. however, this is a complex process and most likely the document won't be much more readable when its resubmitted. Mr. Julius noted that the applicant plans to fully investigate environmental and traffic concerns,but that the Village and applicant should work together. However, the applicant will supply the Village with the answers that they are looking for and address the issues raised at this meeting. Trustee Herman asked Mr. Miller to clarify the sequence of this process. When the document has been received,the consultants will review it to their satisfaction and will make a recommendation Mr. Miller noted that when the Board receives the applicant's response in May, they will rule on the completeness of the DEIS. After the document is accepted as complete and circulated, a public hearing is scheduled and a public comment period is determined. At this point the goal is to accept a document which is thorough enough for public comment. Mayor pilipowski raised the point that the City of Rye has undertaken an extensive study. He inquired as to the possibility of adjourning,this application until their study is completed. Mr.Miller noted that Rye Brook is obligated to process this application in a reasonable manger.If Rye's completion of their study is months away,then it may not be reasonable. He would, however, research the Mayor's question. Mr.Ken Powell,Village Attorney,addressed the Mayor's concern. He noted that the SEER statute_provides for a process where the Village has obligations to continue to move forward, Those obligations can be subject to extensions by mutual agreement between the applicant and the Lead Agency but there is a fundamental obligation to move forward with the review process on an application. A lot depends upon where the City of Rye's review process is at this time. Trustee-Brackman asked that Rye be copied on all correspondence related to this matter. She felt that this would be in everyone's best interest. The applicant agreed to this request. Trustee Degling commented upon a seminar at Pace University about how municipalities can get along with each other and how resolution can be achieved through negotiations. It was his opinion that communications should be opened between the City of Rye and the Village of Rye Brook. It was also noted that-the office building located at 287 Bowman Avenue has recently been purchased and will soon be rented at full capacity. This will also add to the traffic flow on Bowman and Westchester Avenue. Mr. Miller noted that although there has been a proposal for the Middle School 10 4 i property there is currently nothing that can be referred to for the purpose of the traffic study. Mayor Filipowski noted that there was a meeting scheduled for May 4'. 1 ,e suggested that the applicant attend the meeting on the 0'so that they can include this information in their traffic study. Mr. Weinstein noted that the,process cannot be updated every month to include neva projects that may come before the Board. The possibility that there may be information should not hold up this process. He felt that this was not the time, procedurally, to study a future project which currently had no information and consequently that it should not be included in the DBIS. Mayor Filipowski stated that the next Board meetings will be held on May 9`' and. May 23x". He noted that a Bike-a-Thon was scheduled to be held on Saturday, April 29 . If anyone wanted more information they could call the Village office. fie also reminded the public that the Port Chester Middle School will be holding a `Night Sky' program on Friday, April 28'. which is scheduled for 7:40 p.m. Arbor Day is scheduled for Friday, April 28th, and the ceremony will be held at the Hawthorne.Westchester Avenue intersection. He asked for an a motion for an executive session. The motion was made and seconded.

'Trustee Rand announced that at the next meeting of the Board of Trustee the agenda will include an open process showing how a resident of the Village can volunteer to be on a Board or Committee. Mayor Filipowski opened the floor up to comments from the public. Mr. Santon of Hillandale Road asked that the Board note the specific people who had just finished serving their terms on committees. He also commended.Trustee Rand on his support of a resolution that would try to encourage new membership on Boards and Committees and try to allow all residents of the Village to be involved. Mr. Santon also expressed his views that the new appointees to many of the Boards and Committees had conflicts of interest and that their apointments represented political patronage on the part of the Mayor. The Mayor then announced the next two Board of Trustees Meetings would be held on May 9'1'and May 23`'. He then announced that the Vision]flan meeting would be held on Thursday, April 27111 at 7:30 at Village Mall.
