Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 2 of 26 BOARD: Mayor Francis Filipowski Trustee Jody Brackman Trustee Donald Degling Trustee Carol Goodman Trustee Dean Santon STAFF: Christopher Bradbury, Village Administrator Connie Di Salvo, Assistant to the Village Administrator Victor Carosi, Village Engineer Ed Beane, Village Counsel David Kvinge, Village Consultant Chief Robert Santoro Paula Patafio, Meeting Secretary Mayor Filipowski noted that some of the business regarding Red Roof Farm would not begin until the Village's Consultant, Dolph Rotfeld, arrived. Mr. Rotfeld had a previously scheduled meeting and advised the Board of his intended late arrival. Also noted was that the attorney of Gioffre & Gioffre representing Dr. Lee requested an adjournment for the applicant. At this time Dr. Lee is fulfilling the restriction placed by his Special Use Permit on subdividing the property by filing a Covenant with the Westchester County Clerk's office. Trustee Santon felt that this application should be discussed, and pointed out that two proposed resolutions had been prepared for the Board. The first resolution approved the application. The second resolution denied the application. He stated that he would not approve the application as is, and asked for a consensus of the Board. Mayor Filipowski responded that he was not in favor of granting as proposed. He turned to the other Board members. Trustees Brackman and Degling agreed with the Mayor. Trustee Goodman felt that a different proposal would be more appropriate. Mr. Beane was asked to send a memorandum to the applicant expressing the consensus of the Board, and detailing the concerns of all Board members. The Board granted the applicant the adjournment, noting that this matter will be placed on the agenda for the next meeting. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. CONSIDERING CON EDISON'S APPLICATION FOR A VARIANCE FROM THE MORATORIUM FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL TO MAKE CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS LOCATED IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY ON LINCOLN AVENUE AND SUNSET DRIVE Mayor Filipowski declared the Public Hearing open. Mr. Bradbury noted that this is an underground facility gas regulator station. The site will be 500 square feet, and is proposed for the west side of Lincoln Avenue on the corner of the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Sunset Drive. Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 3 of 26 Trustee Degling noted that Con Edison has deemed that this facility is required for the residents. He felt that it was an appropriate application for a variance from the Moratorium. Trustee Santon noted that the Planning Board reviewed the substance of the underlying site plan approval. This is one of several applications referred to the Planning Board for a recommendation of whether or not it meets the standards of a waiver from the Moratorium Law to justify the granting of a variance from said Law. He felt that the applicant did not meet the standards, and he was surprised that the applicant did not send representation to this meeting to make a presentation at the Public Hearing. He asked for clarification of how the Planning Board could make the recommendation they made. Mayor Filipowski noted that the hardship that the Planning Board found before recommending approval of the variance was on the residents of the area. Mr. Beane responded that this application is unique. The gauge box must be installed in this area. This type of application is not the same as a property owner that is looking to subdivide their property. In addition, when dealing with a public utility the standards are more lenient than when dealing with a private owner. On a motion made by Trustee Brackman, and seconded by Trustee Santon, the Public Hearing was kept open: TRUSTEE BRACKMAN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE DEGLING VOTING AYE TRUSTEE GOODMAN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE SANTON VOTING AYE MAYOR FILIPOWSKI VOTING AYE 2. CONSIDERING THE APPLICATION OF ELISABET CARLSON, 13 LINCOLN AVENUE, FOR A VARIANCE FROM THE MORATORIUM TO RE-SUBDIVIDE A PARCEL OF LAND Judge Anthony Provenzano addressed the Board. He noted that the applicant was out of the country due to an illness in her family. He asked that the Public Hearing be continued to the next meeting when the applicant would be in attendance. He noted that he was preparing documentation regarding the hardship to the applicant and would be prepared for the next meeting. Mayor Filipowski asked if any member of the public wished to address this application. Mr. Ken Heller of Lincoln Avenue addressed the Board. He noted that this property has not yet been sold but that the current owner had removed trees on the property in anticipation of the sale. He stated that the applicant has made an application to remove a large oak tree, but pointed out that the smaller trees were removed without an application. He asked that the Village Engineer address this matter. Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 4 of 26 Mayor Filipowski directed Mr. Bradbury to ensure that the Village Engineer is aware of this matter. Judge Provenzano stated that the applicant, in preparation of placing the home on the market, had done some landscaping work on the property, which included clean up of dead trees and shrubs. He noted that he would look into the matter further and advise the Board of his findings at the next meeting. On a motion made by Trustee Brackman, and seconded by Trustee Santon, the matter was adjourned to the next meeting.

CONSIDERING AMENDING A LOCAL LAW ON GARBAGE, REFUSE, AND RUBBISH Mr. Beane noted that this local law was proposed several months ago. He stated that with regard to the issue of Avon Circle, discussions have taken place and Avon Circle is not prepared to adopt a container that would be consistent with this law. Therefore, there is no need to adopt this law to approve the containers at this time. Mr. Bradbury reiterated that he also spoke with the representative for Avon Circle and was told that they were not ready to make the necessary change to the containers. Trustee Santon stated that he was in favor of adopting the local law. He did, however, have several concerns. He felt that suspending the wood chipper service would cause a hardship to residents who have trees or tree limbs fall during a storm. The chipper can handle a 22" log diameter, whereas the Code requires that the branches be cut into 3' lengths and bundled. Trustee Brackman also felt that the chipping service should be continued. When a storm hits and there are tree branches that have fallen and the Village should assist the residents with their removal. Mayor Filipowski agreed. Mr. Bradbury offered an alternative. He suggested that branches could be cut into bundles or placed into containers. The Village can provide a service to take care of the larger logs and branches. He felt that a happy medium could be reached without effecting the Code. Trustee Santon felt that this would be sufficient. Trustee Santon also pointed out that curbside is a defined term, but he felt that the phrase "place at the curb" creates confusion. People need to understand that curbside does not Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 5 of 26 mean in the roadway. The Village must deal with the landscapers who are not following the Village Code. They must be educated and direct contact with them must be created. Mr. Beane made the corrections requested by the Board, which were considered to be minor changes. Mr. Ken Heller of Lincoln Avenue addressed the Board. He asked that the Administrator work with the residents with regard to removal of trees and branches that have fallen during storms. He felt that it would be more prudent if the Village allowed residents the privilege of bringing this debris directly to the Village's compost site. On a motion made by Trustee Degling and seconded by Trustee Brackman, the Public Hearing was closed. TRUSTEE BRACKMAN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE DEGLING VOTING AYE TRUSTEE GOODMAN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE SANTON VOTING AYE MAYOR FILIPOWSKI VOTING AYE Mayor Filipowski moved to the Resolution portion of the meeting. RESOLUTIONS 1. GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM THE MORATORIUM AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING DATE IN CONSIERING CON EDISON'S APPLICATION Mr. Bradbury noted that this Resolution would be placed on the November 12, 2002 agenda as the Public Hearing would remain open until that date. 2. DENYING REQUESTED VARIANCE FROM THE MORATORIUM IN CONSIDERATION OF ELISABET CARLSON'S APPLICATION LOCATED AT 30 LINCOLN AVENUE Mr. Bradbury noted that this Resolution would also be placed on the November 12, 2002 agenda. Trustee Santon asked how the resolutions for Con Edison and the Carlson applications were drafted since the Carlson resolution was a proposed denial and the Con Edison resolution was a proposed approval. Mr. Bradbury noted that both applications were Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 6 of 26 referred to the Planning Board. The Planning Board made their recommendations and these recommendations were incorporated into the resolutions. 3. OPPOSING WESTCHESTER COUNTY'S PROPOPSED DEICING FACILITY Mr. Bradbury read the following Resolution: RESOLUTION OPPOSING WESTCHESTER COUNTY'S PROPOSED DEICING FACILITY WHEREAS, the Village Board of the Village of Rye Brook has received a copy of the SEQR Positive Declaration Notice of Intent to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement ("DEIS") for a DEIS Statement of Significance concerning Westchester County's Proposed Airport Centralized Deicing Facility ("Deicing Facility"); and WHEREAS, Westchester County officials and consultants made a presentation concerning the Deicing Facility to the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook(the "Board") and the public at the Board's September 24, 2002 meeting; and WHEREAS, representatives of the Bellefair Deicing Task Force, Westchester County Legislator Honorable Martin Rogowsky and members of the public made presentations to the Board raising serious concerns regarding (a) the necessity for and the size and scope of the Deicing Facility; and (b) its adverse impacts on the entire Village of Rye Brook (the "Village"), including the destruction of twenty (20) acres of open space, including ten (10) acres of woodlands and wetlands, the addition of fifteen (15) acres of impervious surfaces, exacerbating runoff, exposure to significantly increased concentrations of jet fumes, engine exhaust, and chemical overspray, noise pollution, well water contamination, potential health and safety hazards caused by the enormous chemical storage towers being proposed, road and traffic hazards from heavy truck traffic, airport congestion and ground accidents and reduced air safety and crash potential; and WHEREAS, Westchester County's long-standing and consistent policy as to the expansion of the Westchester County Airport (the "Airport"), as forcefully articulated by the Honorable Andrew Spano Westchester County Executive, and other elected and appointed Westchester County officials is now and has always been that Westchester County was strongly opposed to any expansion of the Airport and would take all actions within its power to insure that no Airport Expansion occurs; and WHEREAS, the enormous size of the project, a Twenty-Three Million, Five Hundred thousand and 00/100 ($23,500,000.00) Dollar facility with five (5) deicing pads, each capable of servicing the Airport's largest jets, accompanied by two (2) sixty (60') Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 7 of 26 foot high each, Two Million (2,000,000) Gallon storage tanks for glycol-laden water and a One Hundred Fifty Thousand (150,000) Gallon storage tank for high concentrate of glycol-laden water is inconsistent with Westchester County's opposition to Airport expansion, and if approved and constructed, constitutes substantial Airport expansion; and WHEREAS, unlike its conduct when proposing other projects of this size and complexity, Westchester County did not engage in a public scoping process, which process would have provided members of the public, Village officials and other interested communities the opportunity to learn about the project and provide input at an early stage; and WHEREAS, the Village Board and staff, the Bellefair Deicing Facility Task Force, and other groups have done substantial research and investigation in a very short time period to gather information about the proposed Deicing Facility project and alternatives which will not have the same adverse impacts on the Village; and WHEREAS, the Village asserts that far less intrusive alternative solutions exist to resolve deficiencies in the current deicing operations at the Airport which alternative(s) would render the proposed Deicing Facility unnecessary and unwarranted; and WHEREAS, to date, these alternatives have not been duly considered by Westchester County; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village of Rye Brook strongly opposes the Westchester County Airport Deicing Facility Proposal; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Village of Rye Brook urges Westchester County to seek alternative solutions to remedy the deficiencies related to the current deicing operations, including locating any new deicing facility on an alternate site on the Airport grounds, and vastly reducing the size and scope of said facility, which alternatives would greatly reduce, if not eliminate, the severe adverse impacts to Rye Brook residents residing in the immediate area of the Airport, and to the entire Village of Rye Brook and neighboring communities; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Village expresses its strong support of the efforts of the Bellefair Deicing Facility Task Force, United Cerebral Palsy, neighboring municipalities in New York State and Connecticut, homeowners associations and other organizations opposing the Proposed Deicing Facility; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Village of Rye Brook pledges its support to the efforts of these organizations, including but not limited to seeking the support of local, Westchester County, State and Federal elected and appointed officials, devoting its resources, staff and outside experts to study the impacts of the Deicing Facility Proposal and alternatives far less intrusive than Westchester County's Proposal; and Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 8 of 26 IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Village Board shall immediately seek and retain its own experts and consultants, including engineering firms with expertise in Airport design and legal counsel, to work in cooperation with outside consultants retained by other municipalities and private organizations, including the Bellefair Deicing Facility Task Force, or alone if necessary, to protect the interests of the residents of the Village of Rye Brook, and IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor be authorized to call a special meeting at the earliest possible date to retain the necessary experts. Mayor Filipowski noted that the Board had several changes that they requested be incorporated into the Resolution. Trustee Degling made grammatical corrections, as well as requesting that the word technology be replaced with solution. Mayor Filipowski stated that he had an issue regarding the acreage affected. Trustee Santon agreed with the Mayor, noting that this project encompasses twenty acres. Ten acres of mature forests and wetlands will be removed, and fifteen acres of impervious surface will be added. Mayor Filipowski also requested that the dollar amount noted for the cost estimate from the County be corrected. Trustee Goodman requested several changes that began a discussion of the possibility of the existence of well water. Mr. Beane was directed to ensure that the changes were accurate. Trustee Brackman stated that the Board wanted to highlight that they were opposed to the expansion of the airport. Trustee Santon felt that it is important to also highlight the Board's objection to the removal of the twenty acres of open space, which includes ten acres of woodlands/wetlands. Trustee Santon noted that the Village of Rye Brook owns 29 acres of recreational/municipal property in the area that will be affected by this De-Icing facility. This brings up a proprietary issue. Mayor Filipowski stated that at this time the Village must move forward. Mr. Beane noted that requested corrections/changes would be incorporated into the Resolution. Mr. Brad Hamburger of Bellefair addressed the Board. He thanked the Board and Village Staff for their hard work in putting together this excellent Resolution. Trustee Brackman thanked the members of the Task Force for their comments and assistance. Trustee Santon asked for the Village Administrator's assistance in obtaining some of the documents regarding the expansion of the airport such as the "Terminal Capacity Agreement." It is important to focus on where this airport could be going with regard to expansion. Mayor Filipowski read a portion of a letter that he wrote for publication in the local newspapers, noting that the proposal is not the environmental redemption plan that it has been billed. He thanked everyone for their input and assistance. Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 9 of 26 On a motion made by Trustee Degling and seconded by Trustee Brackman, the Resolution was adopted as amended.

URGING NYSDOT TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A PROJECT TO CORRECT SERIOUS SAFETY DEFICIENCIES INVOLVING THE INTERSECTION OF KING STREET AND THE HUTCHINSON RIVER PARKWAY Mr. Bradbury read the following Resolution: RESOLUTION URGING NYSDOT TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A PROJECT TO CORRECT SERIOUS SAFETY DEFICIENCIES INVOLVING THE INTERSECTION OF KING STREET AND THE HUTCHINSON RIVER PARKWAY WHEREAS, King Street (New York State Route 120A) is a major thoroughfare that travels North-South through the Village of Rye Brook connecting the Sound Shore Communities with the Hutchinson River Parkway (the "Parkway"), Interstate 684 and other major arteries that lead to communities in central Westchester; and WHEREAS, the portion of King Street located in the State of New York is owned and/or solely controlled by New York State through the New York Department of Transportation; and WHEREAS, King Street is a narrow two (2) lane road intersected by numerous secondary streets and the Hutchinson River Parkway and is traveled by local residents, commuters, school buses and commercial vehicles; and WHEREAS, the interchange of King Street and the Hutchinson River Parkway includes exit and entrance ramps where traffic is required to make left turns across King Street either to enter the Parkway or, having exited the Parkway to proceed along King Street; and WHEREAS, there currently are no traffic control devices or signs to control traffic at this interchange; and Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 10 of 26 WHEREAS, a considerable amount of residential and commercial development within the Village of Rye Brook has occurred within the past five (5) years that has resulted in an increased volume of traffic on King Street specifically including, but not limited to, the addition of two hundred sixty three (263) homes from the Bellefair Subdivision which places traffic directly onto King Street; a Senior Living Facility which will be constructed adjacent to the Bellefair Subdivision; and the anticipated occupancy of the commercial building located at 900 King Street which presently is vacant, whose occupants will commute to the property at 900 King Street by traveling on King Street, the Hutchinson River Parkway or other arteries; and WHEREAS, there are other residential and commercial projects proposed to be developed that will increase the volume of traffic on King Street and exiting the Hutchinson River Parkway at the King Street exit; and WHEREAS, in recognition of the safety concerns that existed on King Street even before the more recent developments, and in recognition of safety concerns that existed at the time, in or about 1992 to July 1994, the New York State Department of Transportation conducted a detailed traffic study of issues involving and related to the King Street/Hutchinson River Parkway interchange which study concluded that serious safety issues existed at this intersection, creating a dangerous condition, which the Department of Transportation characterized as unacceptable, particularly involving traffic making left turns across King Street during periods of heavy traffic; and WHEREAS, as a result of the study and its findings, the State allocated the sum of Three Million and 00/100 ($3,000,000.00) Dollars to fund the reconfiguration of the interchange to cure this dangerous condition; and WHEREAS, since September 1996, the date on which the Department of Transportation's Final Design Report/Environmental Assessment was issued until the present, no part of the Department of Transportation's findings concerning this interchange have been implemented; and WHEREAS, in or about August 2002, the Village of Rye Brook learned that the State withdrew the Three Million and 00/100 ($3,000,000.00) Dollars it had allocated to cure the dangerous traffic conditions that now exist at this interchange and as a result, the Department of Transportation has determined that it cannot and will not proceed to implement any of the safety improvements set forth in its Report; and WHEREAS, because King Street is a State road and the Department of Transportation has sole authority to implement these safety improvements, the Village of Rye Brook has no authority to implement these improvements without the participation and funding from the Department of Transportation; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village of Rye Brook hereby notifies the New York State Department of Transportation and the State of New York that the dangerous traffic condition and serious traffic safety deficiencies at the King Street/Hutchinson River Parkway interchange identified by the Department of Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 11 of 26 Transportation's September 1996 Final Design Report/Environmental Assessment have not been remedied and continue to exist; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the New York State Department of Transportation's failure to move forward with the proposed improvements of the interchange to remedy the dangerous conditions that exist, the State's withdrawal of the funding it allocated for these improvements and the Department of Transportation's decision not to take any further action to implement the improvements because of the lack of funds, has perpetuated this dangerous condition and placed in jeopardy the safety of Rye Brook residents and others traversing King Street and entering and exiting the Hutchinson River Parkway in the area of that interchange; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Village of Rye Brook hereby requests the New York State Department of Transportation restore adequate funding and design engineering support for this project and move forward immediately to revise and implement the improvements set forth in its September 1996 Final Design Report/Environmental Assessment, or suggest an acceptable alternative design, to correct the dangerous condition that exists at this interchange; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Village of Rye Brook requests as an immediate positive first step, the New York State Department of Transportation approve Rye Brook's request for a reduction in the speed limit on King Street from Forty (40) MPH to Thirty-Five (35) MPH and eliminate all passing lanes from the County Airport to the Village of Port Chester boundary line; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor, on behalf of the Village of Rye Brook, is authorized to send letters, petitions and other documents to the New York State Department of Transportation and other relevant State, local, and to the extent advisable, federal agencies, including but not limited to the Village's elected representatives on each of these bodies, urging the State of New York and/or the Department of Transportation to: (a)restore the funding necessary to revise and implement the improvements found by the New York State Department of Transportation's Final Design Report/Environmental Assessment to be necessary; (b) reduce the speed limit of King Street from Forty (40) MPH to Thirty-Five (35) MPH; and (c) proceed immediately to remedy the dangerous condition at the intersection, including taking all interim steps, such as the installation of traffic control devices and appropriate signage, while the permanent improvements are studied, reviewed and implemented. Trustee Brackman asked that the language throughout the Resolution be made consistent. Trustee Degling asked that signage be added into the Resolution. Trustee Santon noted that as a result of Greenwich not being on board with the proposed work the project lost its funding. He asked when this funding withdrawal occurred and how the Village was notified by New York State. Mayor Filipowski responded that this occurred on June 13, 1996 when Connecticut refused the proposal. Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 12 of 26 It was noted that the Connecticut Department of Transportation is working on installing notification signs along the Merritt Parkway before New York State will install the no left turn sign at the exit ramp. It would create a dangerous situation if cars approached the exit and then found they could not make a left hand turn. Mr. Bradbury is following up on this matter. Trustee Degling noted that the next joint meeting of the Task Force was scheduled for November 1, 2002. This is a follow up meeting to the August meeting. Mr. Hamburger of Bellefair addressed the Board. He noted that his profession has him driving over 25,000 miles per year in approximately a 100-mile radius from Rye Brook. In all of his travels he has found that this intersection is the most dangerous intersection that he has encountered. Mr. Peter Schlactus of Bellefair addressed the Board. He noted that this issue is clearly a matter of great importance. As a representative for the Bellefair Homeowners Association he offered their assistance. On a motion made by Trustee Brackman, and seconded by Trustee Degling, the Resolution was adopted, as amended.

WITHDRAWING A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND SECTION 250-34, H-1 HOTEL DISTRICT, OF THE VILLAGE CODE FROM CONSIDERATION Mr. Bradbury read the following Resolution: RESOLUTION WITHDRAWING A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND SECTION 250-34. H-1 HOTEL DISTRICT OF THE VILLAGE CODE FROM CONSIDERATION WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees had drafted a local law to amend Section 250- 34, H-1 Hotel District of the Code of the Village of Rye Brook; and WHEREAS, the proposed local law was referred to the Planning Board by the Board of Trustees on July 23, 2002 and the Planning Board, after careful consideration Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 13 of 26 and deliberation at its September 12 and October 8, 2002 meetings, did not recommend adoption of the proposed amendments. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village Board of Trustees hereby withdraws the proposed amendments from consideration. Trustee Brackman requested that Mr. Kvinge address this matter for clarification. Mr. Kvinge noted that the changes were proposed to eliminate the non-conforming status of the parcel of land located in the corner of Anderson Hill Road and King Street, within the H1 Hotel District. That parcel, because of a determination by the Building Inspector, had deficiencies in lot area and frontage. The proposed amendments were directed at those deficiencies. Mr. Beane noted that these amendments would clarify the variances that would be required of an application in order to construct a hotel on that parcel of land. Mr. Bradbury noted that the applicant for the Garden Inn would still need variances for their application, even if these amendments were approved. The amendments do not have an impact on the Village, or on the other hotels within the Village. Trustee Brackman noted that as the zoning and frontage requirements exist, nothing can be built. Mr. Kvinge stated that it is currently a legally existing non-conforming lot. The Planning Board reviewed the proposed amendments and did not agree with them. They felt that a review of the zone itself may be appropriate. Trustee Santon noted that a hotel zone was created but a hotel cannot be built because of the frontage and the bulk standards. However, the parcel is a legal building lot and would be classified as a legally existing non-conforming parcel. Mr. Kvinge clarified by noting the bulk standard and minimum frontage really come into play when someone is creating a parcel. This applicant is not looking to subdivide the parcel. Trustee Degling noted that the Code also says that the parcel must have frontage on a road with a 100' right of way. As neither Anderson Hill Road nor King Street has the 100' right of way, the parcel would require a variance. This text was inserted into the code because of the Rye Town Hilton and Westchester Avenue but does not apply to any other area in the Village. Mr. Beane noted that the Planning Board had a problem with the amendments because they felt that the amendments did not fix the problem. The Planning Board would like to do a more extensive study. Trustee Degling felt that this study should be commenced immediately. Trustee Santon believed that in December 1982 this parcel was spot zoned for a hotel. The contract vendee Omnitel approached the Village about changing the zoning for this parcel. A second local law approved the application of Omnitel to designate that parcel as a hotel zone. In January 1995, the hotel zone was modified again and this created the problems that now exist. Trustee Santon noted that no one has been able to construct a hotel on this parcel for more than 20 years. He felt that the Board should look at alternative zoning for this parcel. Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 14 of 26 Mr. Kvinge recommended that the resolution before the Board to withdraw the proposed amendments be considered at this time in order to allow for more detailed studies to be approved. On a motion made by Trustee Brackman and seconded by Trustee Goodman the Resolution was adopted.

REFERRAL TO THE PLANNIG BOARD AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING DATE ON AMENDING MISCELLANEOUS SECTIONS OF THE VILLAGE CODE Mr. Bradbury read the following Resolutions: RESOLUTION REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING BOARD AND SETTING DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON AMENDING MISCELLANEOUS SECTIONS OF THE VILLAGE CODE WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees is considering Local Law 9-2002 to amend miscellaneous sections of the Code of the Village of Rye Brook; and WHEREAS, the proposed text amendments are attached to this resolution, with text to be deleted shown in strikeout and text to be added shown in underline. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook hereby refers the proposed text amendments, as attached hereto, to the Planning Board for review and comment; and be it further Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 15 of 26 RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook shall hold a public hearing on November 26, 2002 at 7:30 p.m., at the Village Hall, 938 King Street, Rye Brook, New York to consider Local Law 9-2002 to amend various sections of the Village Code.

REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING BOARD AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING DATE TO AMEND THE VILLAGE CODE TO CREATE SECTION 250-40, NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS Mr. Bradbury read the following Resolution: RESOLUTION REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING BOARD AND SETTING DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON AMENDING THE VILLAGE CODE TO CREATE SECTION 250-40,NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees is considering Local Law 10-2002 to amend the Code of the Village of Rye Brook to create Chapter 250-40, Notification Requirements, and to amend various other sections of the Code to include new references to Section 250-40; and WHEREAS,the proposed text amendments are attached to this resolution. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook hereby refers the proposed text amendments, as attached hereto, to the Planning Board for review and comment; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook shall hold a public hearing on November 26, 2002 at 7:30 p.m., at the Village Hall, 938 King Street, Rye Brook, New York to consider Local Law 10-2002 to create Chapter 250-40, Notification Requirements, and to amend various other sections of the Code to include new references to Section 250-40. Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 16 of 26 A discussion regarding properties where the owners were absent took place. It was noted that there was an incident where the co-owners of a property were divorced, the wife co- owned and retained possession of the house, however, the husband was the owner according to the tax roll. The wife, as co-owner, did not receive the notification of a proposed construction to be done on the adjacent property. Mr. Bradbury noted that the proposed signage would help ensure that everyone is properly notified of pending applications. The Resolution was amended to incorporate the suggestions made by the Board to include properties where the owner's address is different from the property's address.

AUTHORIZING MODIFICATION OF THE RED ROOF FARM SUBDIVISION PLAN TO ELIMINATE A GUIDE RAIL Mr. Bradbury read the following Resolution: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING MODIFICATION OF THE RED ROOF FARM SUBDIVISION PLAN TO ELIMINATE A GUIDE RAIL WHEREAS, on September 3, 1998, the Board of Trustees for the Village of Rye Brook granted final subdivision approval for the Red Roof Farm Subdivision, now known as Blind Brook Estates, subject to certain conditions, including but not limited to requiring OLC/RBAG to post a performance bond guaranteeing certain infrastructure improvements required by the subdivision resolution; and WHEREAS, one of the required infrastructure improvements was the location of a guide rail on a portion of the cul-de-sac of Birch Lane; and WHEREAS, the subdivision has been substantially completed and OLC has requested that this guide rail on Birch Lane be eliminated as its engineer has advised and provided the Village with supporting documentation that accepted engineering practices do not require the construction of a guide rail in this location; and Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 17 of 26 WHEREAS, the Village Engineer has reviewed the request by OLC and the supporting documentation by OLC's engineers and concurs that the guide rail is not needed. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees hereby approves the modification to the subdivision plans to eliminate the requirement that a guide rail be installed by OLC on Birch Lane. AND IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED, that all other applicable provisions, conditions and restrictions of the subdivision plan notes, conditions of sub-division approval and restrictive covenants shall remain in full force and effect. Trustee Santon noted there were two guide rail issues that needed to be addressed: the easterly cul de sac on Red Roof Drive and the cul de sac on Birch Lane. He felt that this matter should be referred to the Planning Board for their recommendation. Mr. Bradbury noted that the developer has submitted a plan that the Village approved. The plan had a metal guide rail. The Village is prepared to accept an alternative guide rail that has been proposed by the developer. This alternative is a combination of wood and metal. Similar guide rails have been installed in the Village. This matter can be referred to the Planning Board for their recommendation, however, the developer has every right to move ahead and install the guide rails as they were approved. Mayor Filipowski stated that the Village Board is moving ahead with the recommendations made by the Village's Staff. After researching the matter, they have determined that the guide rail can be removed and that the second guide rail could be the alternate proposal. They have also determined that this is a minor modification. Mr. Beane noted that the developer has the right to put up metal guide rails in both places and be done, however, this does not satisfy the residents. There is a major safety issue with removing the guide rail on Red Roof Drive. An alternative that is strong enough, that will do the job that it was proposed to do, has been made. Mr. Carosi was asked to address this matter. He noted that guide rails were part of the approval Resolutions. The developer is now proposing an alternative. On a motion made by Trustee Brackman, and seconded by Trustee Degling, the resolution was adopted.

He noted that the next item to be address would be the items regarding Red Roof Farms under Old Business of the agenda. OLD BUSINESS: 1. REPORT ON RED ROOF DEVELOPMENT CONCERNS FROM ENGINEERING CONSULTANT Mr. Beane began the discussion by giving a brief background of the matter. He noted that the Village has had a number of discussions with a number of residents regarding the Red Roof Subdivision. A number of different drainage problems have been discussed, both in and out of the subdivision. This is a global problem, and it needs to be studied as a global problem so that when one problem was corrected another problem will not be created. Mr. Rotfeld, the Village's consultant, has completed a preliminary study of the entire situation. Mr. Rotfeld addressed the Board. He noted that in an attempt to divert water from one property to another, additional problems were created. The water runs through the backyards of the Red Roof Farm property owners, running from one property to another. As a result, there are many concerned residents. Surveys of what physically exists need to be completed, and plans showing the grades must be submitted. Mr. Rotfeld noted that Mr. Delano's firm has completed some `as built' surveys showing grades. These existing surveys should be used in order to save the Village money. A solution needs to be found to prevent water from one property running onto another property. Chances are that to solve the problems a drain line needs to be installed along the rear yards of the properties. In building such a drainage line - which obviously would have been much easier at the beginning of the subdivision when there were no buildings constructed - there will be extensive disturbances to landscaping, trees, and patios. Another option would be to construct drainage lines between lots. With regard to the northerly side of the subdivision, a surveyor has been hired. The survey should be completed within three weeks. A proposal to extend the storm drains has been made. The drain lines that come out at the curb will become a problem in the winter as ground water will freeze when it hits the open air. He noted that there was a problem with one property owner not wishing to grant an easement that still needs to be rectified. Mr. Beane noted that a list of drainage problems has been put together from information supplied by the residents. He felt that it would be very helpful to the Village and residents if a Work Session or Special Meeting was held so that all the information could be reviewed to ensure that all the problems were being addressed, and that no new problems were being created. Mayor Filipowski agreed and proposed a Work Session to be held prior to the next Board of Trustees meeting. Mr. Beane felt that the staff should meet with the residents prior to the meeting. Mr. Rotfeld suggested that each homeowner be contacted, site walks be completed, and all information gathered. He felt that the engineers should be sent out to Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 19 of 26 speak with the residents. He asked for two weeks to gather the information. Once the information was reviewed then a Work Session should be scheduled. Trustee Santon stated that there were other matters that needed to be resolved. He noted that there is an approved 1998 landscape plan that refers to preservation of existing impacted trees. A lack of trees has a direct impact on drainage. In addition, he felt that the developer did not comply with the approved 1998 limits of disturbance plans and the landscape plan that includes new street trees as well as the preservation of existing mature trees. Mayor Filipowski stated that the staff needs to review these matters in order to determine exactly what has happened. Mr. Rauso, of 9 Berkley Lane, a property owner, noted that he was still unclear about drainage lines down property lines to catch storm water and direct it to the catch basins. He felt that this would not address the water that runs through the properties. He has hired an engineer who has proposed a curtain drain that will tie into the manhole. This would eliminate the problems for three different property owners. He strongly requested that the Village look into this proposal, walk his property, and review all the problem areas. Mayor Filipowski stated that the Village was aggressively working to solve the drainage problems. He asked that Mr. Rauso contact Mr. Rotfeld to discuss this matter in detail. Mayor Filipowski returned to the agenda, calling for item 910 under Resolutions: 10. AUTHORIZING USE OF VILLAGE STREETS FOR THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE Mr. Bradbury read the following Resolution. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING USE OF VILLAGE STREETS FOR THANKSGIVING PARADE RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook authorizes the use of Village streets on Friday, November 29, 2002 for the annual Thanksgiving Parade along the route described in the letter dated October 9, 2002 from Glenn Wilson, Property Manager for Win Ridge Realty, L.L.C.; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that Village streets shall be used in compliance with the terms and/or conditions established by the Village of Rye Brook Police Department.

On a motion made by Trustee Brackman, and seconded by Trustee Goodman, the Summaries were accepted. TRUSTEE BRACKMAN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE DEGLING VOTING AYE TRUSTEE GOODMAN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE SANTON VOTING AYE MAYOR FILIPOWSKI VOTING AYE ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: Mr. Bradbury reviewed items that the Village has been moving forward on. He reviewed utility easements in the Village. He noted that Tennessee Gas has voluntarily agreed to install landscaping near the Blind Brook High School entrance. He also reviewed other utility easement areas in the Village to be landscaped by utility companies. Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 22 of 26 Mr. Bradbury noted that the Rich Manor survey will be completed by the end of the month. Mr. Bradbury reviewed the status of the house next to Village Hall, which is the firehouse site. He stated that work has begun with regard to demolition of the building, beginning with the shut off of all utilities. Mr. Bradbury also commented that preliminary work has begun on Ridge Street. Trustee Santon thanked Mr. Carosi for his recent utility company update. He found that some of the proposed remedies that Verizon has put forward are inadequate. He felt that the unsightly array of boxes on West Ridge Street would not be properly screened by the proposed landscaping. He also felt that the apparatus hanging off the pole on Old Oak Road (between 99 and 911) would not be screened by the landscaping. Mr. Bradbury responded that these matters are being reviewed administratively, and the final decision will be presented to the Board for their approval. Trustee Brackman asked if the landscaping on Anderson Hill Road was completed. Mr. Kvinge noted that the shrubs that have been planted along the street will grow fairly quickly. In three or four years this installation will fully be screened. OLD BUSINESS: 2. ROADWAY/SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT AND TREE PLANTING PROGRAMS FOR THE 2002-2003 FISCAL YEAR Trustee Santon pointed out that Mr. Carosi reviewed the wish list for the Village with regard to roadwork. This list included approximately $220,000 worth of roadway work, and an additional $200,000 of additional projects that have been recommended but are not funded yet. Trustee Santon felt that the Board should discuss where the budgeted monies should be spent. At a prior meeting, a $15,000 roadway project on Maywood was approved. Mr. Carosi stated that the Maywood project is road paving. Trustee Santon asked for an update on pending projects, along with a list of the priorities. Trustee Brackman asked whether or not the Village's Staff was interested in hearing Trustee input of where these funds should be directed. Trustee Santon noted that there were $428,000 worth of projects and only $160,000 to work with. How could the projects be done with only one-third of the funding in place. Mr. Bradbury noted that the Village Staff has put together a list of roadwork proposed. He noted that Lincoln Avenue is one area that requires work and there was a potential of obtaining grant money for this work. Mr. Bradbury noted that the County has started doing their preliminary work on Ridge Street. They are attempting to get as much work done as possible before winter. Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 23 of 26 3. VARIOUS ISSUES RELATING TO THE DEER RUN SUBDIVISION AND NEARBY LINCOLN AVENUE CORRIDOR PROPERTIES Trustee Santon noted that when he was researching the proposed Carlson subdivision he discovered the documentation regarding a Tree Preservation easement at the Deer Run Subdivision. As Mr. Heller stated at a prior meeting, there was a 15' wide tree preservation easement with a swale for drainage around the perforator of the entire 17 lot Deer Run subdivision. A number of those properties have references to this easement that was never granted in document form to the Village. However, some of the properties do not have this reference. The Village needs to communicate with the property owners that are impacted by this easement and verify whether it has been complied with. The intent was to create a visual buffer, and a wetland buffer. He believed that many of the residents were not aware of the easement. The restriction is that no vegetation can be removed within that 15' area without planning work. Mr. Bradbury stated that the residents can be notified of this easement. Mr. Ken Heller addressed the Board for a third time. He noted that the Deer Run Tree Preservation easement has not been enforced or respected. There are pools and other structures that have been constructed within this easement. Pools have been constructed within the area. The structures exceed the Code when the residences were built and, therefore, some of the homes do not have a 15' backyard. Mr. Heller also addressed the reduction in the width of the roadway on Lincoln Avenue because of the installation of sidewalks. The safety valve on the right hand side where people could swing off into the gravel is gone and it is has been replaced with curbing and sidewalks. He asked that signage be put up immediately noting road narrowing. He addressed the resurfacing of Lincoln Avenue North, noting that the developer of Bellefair has not finished the resurfacing. This road lies in two Villages, and only the Rye Brook portion can be done. He suggested that the Board ask Harrison to get into the act. 4. AIRLINES THAT ARE NOT COMPLYING WITH THE VOLUNTARY CURFEW Mayor Filipowski asked what can be done regarding airlines that do not comply with the voluntary curfew. Mr. Beane responded that he would try and come up with an appropriate approach to this matter. Mayor Filipowski felt that a follow up should be done with the Legislators in the Senate regarding this voluntary curfew. Board of Trustee Meeting October 22,2002 Page 24 of 26 NEW BUSINESS: Mr. Ken Finder, the President of the Rye Brook Youth Soccer Club and as a resident of Rye Brook, addressed the Board. The Rye Brook Youth Soccer Club works in partnership with the Rye Brook Recreation Department. He discussed the problem with the existing fields. He also pointed out that the type of fields need to be addressed. This weekend there were eight games scheduled, but there were no fields available. The Village needs a soccer field and they can't wait another two or three years to construct one. There needs to be more cooperation between the Village Board and the Board of Education. The compost site has been discussed for a soccer field, and this project needs to be accelerated. ACTION ON NON-AGENDA MATTERS SUBJECT AT THE CONSENT OF THE TRUSTEES PRESENT AT THE MEETING Trustee Santon asked that a matter be addressed that should have been addressed under the heading of Old Business. He felt that alternate zoning measures in the region surrounding Anderson Hill Road and King Street should be put on the agenda for referral to the Planning Consultant (F.P. Clark Associates) and Planning Board. Mayor Filipowski asked that this matter be put on the agenda of November 12th. Trustee Santon noted that the deadline for the fence removal at the ball field has passed. Mr. Beane stated that he was working on a proposed Resolution and asked that it be dealt with during an Executive Session. Mayor Filipowski asked for a motion for an Executive Session. On a motion made by Trustee Brackman, and seconded by Trustee Santon, the Board scheduled an Executive Session to be held immediately. Upon the Board's return from the Executive Session, Mr. Beane noted that the developer would be charged for the removal of the fence to be removed by Village Staff. On a motion made by Trustee Brackman, and seconded by Trustee Santon, the Resolution was approved. The dollar amount would be added to the developer's account.
