CONSIDERING MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE STONEGATE AT BELLEFAIR SENIOR LIVING FACILITY Mayor Filipowski declared the Public Hearing at 7:45 p.m. Mr. Mark Miller, of Veneziano & Associates, addressed the Board on behalf of Bellefair LLC. The entire project team was also in attendance and available to respond to any questions from the Board or members of the public. Mr. Miller introduced the team: Jennifer Andaloro, Esq., Attorney; Mr. Michael Daly, applicant; Gerry Schwalbe, Engineer; John Collins, Traffic Engineer; and John Slater, Landscape Architect. For the record, Mr. Miller noted that he reviewed the most recent actions taken on this matter. He began his presentation by noting that this application was before the Planning Board on July 10, 2003, where individuals from Greenwich attended this meeting and had the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes. At that time the Village's Consultant prepared a memorandum to the Planning Board raising a number of issues. After its review, the Planning Board unanimously voted to recommend approval to the Board of Trustees subject to several conditions. A public hearing was set and the Board of Trustees is now addressing this matter. Mr. Miller noted that the applicant was seeking a number of items, the most significant was the conversion of the King Street access from a one-way access drive only to a 24' wide roadway that would allow ingress and egress. Associated Board of Trustee Meeting August 12,2003 Page 3 of 27 with this change would be the closure of the drive into Reunion Road, which enters Stonegates parking facility. The remaining portion of Reunion Road would be converted to a narrow driveway, 14' in width, with a gate, for emergency access only. This roadway would be also be used for the shuttle bus that will run from the facility to Bellefair, which would allow the Stonegate residents the opportunity to use the Bellefair facilities. In closing off Reunion Road, the parking area was redesigned to allow for circular access. Additional landscaping has also been proposed. In addition, the applicant is seeking to provide a pedestrian walkway that will complete a pathway around the facility. Also to be corrected at this time is a slight realignment of the pedestrian bridge that connects Stonegate and Bellefair which, during the original approval process, was aligned with the crosswalk. Somehow the crosswalk from Stonegate was offset approximately 15 feet to the left and the applicant would like to correct this error and realign the bridge to the crosswalk and the stairway. In order to accomplish this several handicapped parking spaces need to be adjusted. Mr. Miller reviewed the memorandum from Frederick P. Clark Associates along with the applicant's responses. Mr. Miller noted that when the Bellefair facility was originally approved, the King Street access was proposed as a 24' wide ingress and egress roadway. This roadway was proposed to be used for staff and deliveries. Residents and visitors were to use the Reunion Road entrance. In moving all traffic from Stonegate to the King Street roadway, all traffic counts would remain the same. The Department of Transportation has reviewed this matter and requested that the connection to Reunion Road be severed so that it would not be used as a short cut to Bellefair. This would mean that all Stonegate traffic would come in and exit from the King Street access. An environmental review has been completed, and the Department of Transportation has approved the 24' wide ingress and egress with the stipulation that the access through Reunion Road is cut off. Mr. Miller noted that the representatives for Greenwich raised concern regarding the proximity of the King Street entrance to Sherwood Avenue. In response, the applicant is willing to perform a traffic study at this intersection, after the facility is open. If this study indicates that traffic is a problem, then a signal light will be installed at this intersection. Another issue surrounds the landscaping on the eastern side of the property. The applicant will increase the proposed landscaping to provide screening for the Bellefair residents. As previously stated, the applicant intends to construct additional landscaping throughout the facility, especially in the King Street area. The final issue addressed by Mr. Miller dealt with parking. It was noted that in the area of the bridge there are approximately 12 parking spaces. There is a guard rail to prevent cars from driving down a steep drop. A sidewalk was proposed for between the edge of the retaining wall (steep slope) and the parking spaces. This area was not correctly constructed and it was found that there was a safety issue Board of Trustee Meeting August 12,2003 Page 4 of 27 with constructing the sidewalks. It was, therefore, determined that this sidewalk was not necessary, and instead a row of trees have been planted for additional screening. Although the Planning Board recommended that the sidewalk be installed, the applicant has respectfully disagrees and maintains that this is a safety issue that has been addressed. Mayor Filipowski thanked Mr. Miller for his presentation and called for comments from members of the public. A resident of 16 Reunion Road addressed the Board. He supported the recommendation to close off Reunion Road, noting that all of the traffic will still come out onto King Street. This new proposal is in the best interest of the residents of Bellefair, and the entire community. Peter Schlactus of 80 Bellefair Road, addressed the Board. He noted that he also supported the comments, and proposal. He stressed that this is not an issue that is soley a concern to the residents living on the streets of Bellefair adjacent to the Stonegate Facility, but rather all of the residents of Bellefair. Bellefair Boulevard provides the sole direct access to the Village Green. Minimizing traffic in this area will benefit everyone and create a safer environment. He asked that the Board support the applicant's decision. Trustee Dean Santon noted that he was pleased to see this matter coming to fruition. He noted that traffic was always directed out onto King Street during the time that High Point Hospital was in operation and this was their main entrance. He raised one question, regarding the shift of the crosswalk and bridge at High Point Circle and asked for clarification of the handicapped spaces. Mr. Miller noted that the change would result in safe passage for these handicapped spaces. A resident of 17 Heirloom Lane expressed concern regarding the handicapped parking. He noted that this is the area of guest parking for Bellefair residents. He asked that this be considered before any additional parking is suggested. Ms. Timpone-Mohamed, Village Planning Consultant, addressed the Board. She noted that there is a safety issue regarding the handicapped spaces. She noted that the cars backing out of the spaces are backing out into the roadway. The sidewalk was originally approved so as not to have pedestrians in the roadway. This is an issue of safety not only because of the steep slope and retaining wall, but also because without the sidewalk people would have to walk behind the cars, in the street,to get to the existing sidewalk. Mr. Mattes of 2 Heirloom Lane questioned the need for this small parking area, noting that it was to the rear of the Bellefair visitor parking lot. He pointed out that this roadway has a 30 miles per hour speed limit. It is not a regular through street,but rather the back of a parking lot. Board of Trustee Meeting August 12,2003 Page 5 of 27 Trustee Robert Harris also expressed his concerning regarding this issue. He questioned what the speed limit was in that area. He felt that the guide rail should remain, and questioned what the site distance was. Mr. Miller felt that there was no safety issue involved in this area. The parking area is located on a public street. He reminded the Board that the safety of a car parking in this area must also be considered. Removing the guardrail may allow a car to jump the curb and go down the embankment. He noted that there is a short enough distance between this parking area and the crosswalk as to not create a problem. Mr. Miller noted that even though this is a circular roadway, the visibility in this area is excellent. Mr. Michael Daly, Principal of Stonegate, addressed the Board. He noted that he has strived to make this area beautiful. They have softened up the area by adding landscaping to this 60 or 70 foot span, which screens the building. He noted that the adjacent neighbors had requested screening so that they are not looking at the back of this building. Ms. Patricia Romano, resident of Bellefair, and member of Planning Board, addressed the Board. She noted that she walked this site and found that the sidewalk really does not fit. The parking spots are for Bellefair residents and are visitor parking and not for Stonegate. A resident of 17 Milestone Road addressed the Board. He noted that he was concerned regarding the speed on King Street. He stated that there should be a concern regarding the elderly residents exiting onto King Street, and felt that a signal light at this entrance would be appropriate. Trustee Paul Rosenberg stated that he was in favor of leaving the trees versus the sidewalk. He felt that these parking spaces will not be used on a regular basis. He suggested a Stop Sign at the exit of King Street. Mr. Miller noted that no light can be installed without the Department of Transportation approval. At this time a stop line has been proposed. Ms. Timpone-Mohamed noted that additional studies must be completed. This is a safety issue for the residents, and individuals traversing King Street. A resident of 55 Bellefair Road addressed the Board. He whether anyone has considered adding a turning lane on the new driveway to King Street. Mr. Miller noted that there are 166 units in Stonegate. A turn lane is also a Department of Transportation issue. The traffic studies have indicated that ten cars will be exiting the facility in the morning peak hours, and 17 cars will be exiting in the peak evening hours. These numbers do not warrant a turning lane. Board of Trustee Meeting August 12,2003 Page 6 of 27 Mayor Filipowski called for additional comments and questions from the Board and members of the public. There being none, he asked for a motion to close the public hearing. He suggested a resolution to accept the resolution as presented, modified the resolution and delete construction of the sidewalk, or wait to have the resolution modified. Edward Beane, Esq., Village Counsel, noted that the public hearing could be closed, and the Board could do any of the three proposals made by the Mayor. Mayor Filipowski called for a motion to close the public hearing. A resident of 8 Meeting House Lane addressed the Board. He noted that his home overlooks the parking lot and beautiful building. As a point of order, he felt that if the public hearing was closed and the resolution was changed then a new public hearing would have to be held on any new resolution. Mayor Filipowski noted that the input from the public has been accepted. Village's Counsel stated that no new public hearing would need to be held. On a motion made by Trustee Santon, and seconded by Trustee Rosenberg, the public hearing was closed.

RESOLUTIONS 1. CONSIDERING MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE STONEGATE AT BELLEFAIR SENIOR LIVING FACILITY Mr. Bradbury read the following resolution. On a motion made by Trustee Rosenberg, and seconded by Trustee Santon, the resolution was approved. RESOLUTION APPROVING AN APPLICATION TO MODIFY SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE STONEGATE AT BELLEFAIR SENIOR LIVING FACILITY FOR MODIFICATION OF ACCESS TO THE SITE, PARKING AND TRAFFIC CIRCULATION Board of Trustee Meeting August 12,2003 Page 7 of 27 WHEREAS, FC BELLEFAIR, LLC, has made an application to the Village of Rye Brook requesting amended Site Plan Approval for modifications to access to the site, parking and traffic circulation shown on the approved Site Plan for the Planned Unit Development (PUD) known as Belle Fair, located on the west side of King Street at the southwest corner of the intersection formed by King Street and Lincoln Avenue, within the PUD, Tax Parcel Section No. 1, Block 3, Lot 1.250; and WHEREAS, the Planning Board and the Planning Consultant reviewed the Amended Site Plan application by F.C. Bellefair, L.L.C. for modifications as set forth in the Layout Plan, sheet CD-1.0, dated September 21, 2000, revised June 5, 2003, as prepared by Divney Tung Schwalbe; and WHEREAS, the Planning Board, the Planning Consultant, the Westchester County Planning Department and the Town of Greenwich, CT have submitted comments and recommendations to the Board of Trustees regarding the proposed site plan modifications; and WHEREAS, on August 12, 2003, the Village Board of Trustees held a public hearing on the subject application, at which time all persons interested were given an opportunity to speak on behalf of or in opposition to said application; and WHEREAS, the Village Board of Trustees, after due deliberation, finds the proposed site plan modifications to be minor in nature; and WHEREAS, the Village Board of Trustees has complied with the provisions of the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act by preparing a Short Environmental Assessment Form and determining that approval of the amended site plan is an unlisted action; and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook, in its capacity as Lead Agency for the review of the subject application, has taken a hard look at the potential environmental impacts of the proposed action and determined that the proposed action will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts; and WHEREAS, with respect to potential impacts to traffic, the Board of Trustees has reviewed a traffic analysis prepared by the Applicant's traffic consultant, John Collins Engineers, PC, dated June 12, 2003, a memorandum prepared by the Village's Planning Consultant, as well as comments received from the Town of Greenwich, CT and correspondence from the New York State Department of Transportation regarding potential impacts to traffic and has determined that the action will not result in significant impacts to traffic. Board of Trustee Meeting August 12,2003 Page 8 of 27 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees hereby finds that the proposed action will not have any significant impacts on the environment and the Village hereby adopts a Negative Declaration, thereby ending the State Environmental Quality Review process; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees hereby approves the Amended Site Plan application subject to the following conditions: 1. A bond in the amount of $120,000.00 shall be posted by the Applicant within thirty (30) days to secure the performance of a traffic analysis to be conducted at the intersection of Stonegate, King Street and Sherwood Avenue and for subsequent implementation of traffic signalization improvements, if found by the New York State Department of Transportation to be warranted. The traffic analysis shall be conducted in accordance with the memorandum to the Board of Trustees from Frederick P. Clark Associates dated July 17, 2003 and shall be conducted within six (6) months of the date in which eighty (80%) percent occupancy of the site is achieved. The bond may only be reduced upon adoption of a resolution of this Board. 2. The applicant's request to modify the landscaping in the vicinity east of Reunion Road, adjacent to Lots 248 & 249 as shown on sheet L-1 of the Amended Site Plan dated August 30, 2001 is denied. The landscaping as shown on the previously approved site plan must be installed as depicted, to the satisfaction of the Village Planning Consultant and Village Engineer. 3. The Amended Site Plan dated August 30, 2001 and any and all other approvals shall otherwise remain unmodified. Trustee Harris requested an amendment to the resolution. Trustee Goodman suggested removing condition 93 from the resolution. Trustee Santon stated that he was also in favor of the removal of the sidewalk, as long as the Board was in compliance with all P.U.D. regulations. Mayor Filipowski requested an amendment to the original motion. On a motion made by Trustee Harris, and seconded by Trustee Santon, the resolution was adopted as amended. TRUSTEE GOODMAN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE HARRIS VOTING AYE TRUSTEE ROSENBERG VOTING AYE TRUSTEE SANTON VOTING AYE MAYOR FILIPOWSKI VOTING AYE Board of Trustee Meeting August 12,2003 Page 9 of 27 Mayor Filipowski called for the second item under the heading of public hearings: 2. CONSIDERING AMENDING CHAPTER 160 OF THE VILLAGE CODE TO MODIFY THE APPEAL PROCEDURE FOR RENUMBERING OF PROPERTIES Mayor Filipowski declared the public hearing open at 8:43 p.m. Mr. Beane noted that the purpose of this amendment was to modify the appeal process. This amendment will make the Village board the final arbitrator. Mr. Bradbury clarified. Chief Santoro was called upon to describe the dilemma. He noted that there are numbering issues in the Village, with the main one being the numbering at Bellefair. After consulting with all of the emergency services, including the Director of 911, a decision was made. Unfortunately the decision was appealed and brought before the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Zoning Board overturned the decision of what the emergency services felt was best for the area. After reviewing this matter, it is felt that the emergency services are in the best position to make this type of decision and, therefore, the proposed changes to the local law have been made. This new law cleans up a law that was improperly written. A resident of Milestone Road addressed the Board. He wanted to ensure that all residents were aware of the process, and the reason behind this decision. Chief Santoro noted that the numbering process is a logical one. There is a mutual aid system whereas Harrison, Rye Brook, Mamaroneck can respond to an emergency. The emergency service response must be quick. Howard Oaks of Milestone Road addressed the Board. The recommendation of the Village Engineer and Planning Board was overturned by the Zoning Board of Appeals. He felt that they did not have the Chief's recommendation, the information from the Village's Engineer, or the proper EMS training when making this decision. In times of an emergency, a quick response is a critical response. He felt that it was important to have straightforward street numbering system in place. Mr. Lohrfink of 7 Reunion Road stated that everyone would like to see this resolved. This matter has been before the Village for several years now and he asked that this matter, which is long overdue, be resolved once and for all. Trustee Santon felt that it appeared that this law was being contemplated because of the previous Zoning Board of Appeal ruling. He felt that there should always be an appeal process in place, but suggested that rather than changing the law, the Village should just focus on the problems on Milestone Road. Board of Trustee Meeting August 12,2003 Page 10 of 27 Trustee Goodman noted that this is a safety issue. Many different alternatives have been discussed. The Board should concentrate on the procedure that will determine how the streets will be renumbered, keeping the safety of all of the residents of Rye Brook in the forefront of this decision. Mayor Filipowski noted that the Zoning Board of Appeals' decision left the Board of Trustees with a dilemma. This issue needs to be addressed and there are several proposals before the Board of Trustees at this time. The question now before the Board of Trustees is whether or not the public hearing should be closed and the resolution be postponed. Mr. Beane felt that if the objective was to allow everyone an opportunity to be heard, then the pubic hearing must be kept open. When a public hearing is closed then it means that the Board has heard enough to make a decision. He felt that the best venue was to leave the public hearing open. Mr. Bradbury agreed, reiterating that this is a matter of public safety. Chief Santoro responded to concerns raised by the Board. He noted that the Village's Engineer consulted with the Police Department and Emergency Services prior to making a decision. He felt that a proper review has been completed. Mr. Beane felt that the public hearing should remain open. The purpose of this law is to place the decision making process in the hands of the Emergency Services. There are other numbering problems in the Village that must also be addressed. Trustee Rosenberg noted that this is not a popular topic. The residents felt that this law is being enacted to address the Bellefair issue only. He requested information on other numbering issues within the Village. He stated that he would be comfortable with the Board of Trustees as the final level in the appeal process. Another resident of Milestone Road addressed the Board. He stated that everyone agrees that something should be done, and that someone must call the shots and straighten this situation out. He asked that the manner in which this matter is resolved minimize the impact on the residents, along with taking the costs into consideration. Everyone was reminded that Spectrum Skanska has agreed to absorb all reasonable costs in connection with making this correction. There will be no monetary burden placed on the residents. Mr. Bradbury also pointed out that reimbursing reasonable costs is a condition of the resolution. Trustee Santon reiterated his feelings that the solution to this matter should be reached before this local law is changed. Board of Trustee Meeting August 12,2003 Page 11 of 27 Mr. Victor Carosi, Village Engineer, noted that the issue before the Board is the modification to the local law for renumbering properties. This law gives the guidelines for numbering streets. The crux of this issue is the appeal process. This law applies to several other areas throughout the Village, and a clear process must be put in place. This law must move forward. Mr. Beane agreed, stating that this is a critical issue. Although certainly the Bellefair situation is a precipitating factor, this local law needs to be amended to facilitate the emergency services. Mr. Beane agreed with Mr. Carosi, noting that the appeal process is a critical issue. There being no further discussion, Mayor Filipowski called for a motion. No members of the Board made a motion, which prompted a request for a five minute adjournment in order for the Board to discuss this matter. The Board returned at 9:26 p.m., and the meeting was put back on the record. On a motion made by Trustee Goodman, and seconded by Trustee Harris, the public hearing was closed.

CONSIDERING ADOPTING A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND CHAPTER 160 OF THE VILLAGE CODE TO MODIFY THE APPEAL PROCEDURE REGARDING RENUMBERING OF PROPERTIES Mr. Bradbury read the resolution. On a motion made by Trustee Goodman, and seconded by Trustee Santon, the matter was opened for discussion. RESOLUTION ADOPTING A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND CHAPTER 160 OF THE VILLAGE CODE TO MODIFY THE APPEAL PROCEDURE REGARDING RENUMBERING OF PROPERTIES WHEREAS, the Village desires to modify the procedure whereby renumbering of properties may be appealed; and WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was held on August 12, 2003, at which time all those wishing to be heard were given the opportunity to be heard and the hearing was closed; and Board of Trustee Meeting August 12,2003 Page 12 of 27 WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook has complied with the provisions of the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act and has determined that the adoption of such local law is a "Type II" action and, therefore, no further environmental review of the proposed action is required. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village of Rye Brook Board of Trustees hereby adopts the proposed local law to amend Chapter 160 of the Village Code to modify the appeal procedure regarding renumbering of properties, which amendments are enacted into law as Local Law # 10-2003; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor and the Village Clerk are authorized to sign all necessary documents to implement the purposes of this resolution. Mayor Filipowski noted that there were two versions of the resolution proposed. He asked for comments from the Board. Trustee Santon stated that he was in favor of version one, but asked for a modification to the appeal approach that an applicant would be required to make. Mr. Beane noted that if this resolution is amended then there would need to be another public hearing. He noted that only amendments that are deemed to be minor amendments could be made. Mayor Filipowski suggested that perhaps the best way to proceed would be to adjourn the resolution. Trustee Santon disagreed and suggested voting on the resolution in order to reach closure on this matter. Mr. Beane noted that if the objective was to get another airing of the issues, a second public hearing would have to be held if the resolution was amended. If the motion on the table is voted down, then a new public hearing can be scheduled. Trustee Goodman noted that the Chief of Police has stated that he was uncomfortable with being the appeal process. Chief Santoro noted that once he makes the decision with the Village's Engineer, he was uncomfortable deciding whether or not the decision was wrong. This matter should then be referred to the Board of Trustees. Mayor Filipowski felt that adjourning this matter was in everyone's best interest. He asked for a motion to withdraw the current resolution. Trustee Goodman made the motion, to which Trustee Santon was the second. Trustee Santon noted that in his opinion adjourning this matter would only add two weeks to the decision making time. He asked to revisit version 91. He made a motion to move version 91, but there was no second to this motion. Trustee Santon then made a motion to have a public hearing at the next Board meeting to Board of Trustee Meeting August 12,2003 Page 13 of 27 consider version 91, as modified. Trustee Rosenberg seconded the motion. Ms. DiSalvo called the roll: TRUSTEE GOODMAN VOTING AYE TRUSTEE HARRIS VOTING AYE TRUSTEE ROSENBERG VOTING AYE TRUSTEE SANTON VOTING AYE MAYOR FILIPOWSKI VOTING AYE 3. ENDORSING WESTCHESTER COUNTY BOARD OF LEGISLATOR'S PROPOSED RESOLUTION SUPPORTING NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AT WESTCHESTER COUNTY AIRPORT Mr. Bradbury read the following resolution. On a motion made by Trustee Goodman, and seconded by Trustee Harris, the resolution was adopted. RESOLUTION ENDORSING WESTCHESTER COUNTY BOARD OF LEGISLATOR'S PROPOSED RESOLUTION SUPPORTING NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AT WESTCHESTER COUNTY AIRPORT WHEREAS, Westchester County Airport is located in the densely populated corridor where Rye Brook, Harrison, Mt. Pleasant, North Castle and White Plains meet, and such corridor is the home not only of a significant residential population, but heavily populated corporate offices, schools and universities, hotels and conference centers and other facilities; and WHEREAS, Westchester County Airport is located next to the critical reservoir supplying safe, affordable water to nearly all residents of New York City and Westchester County- totaling close to 9 million people- and this reservoir is an irreplaceable asset to the region; and WHEREAS, any expansion of Westchester County Airport would add flights and add both air and water pollution that will negatively affect our region, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village of Rye Brook Board of Trustees extends its full support to the Westchester County Board of Legislator's to call on the Federal Aviation Administration to grant an exemption that freezes development of the Westchester County Airport at its current capacity and weight limitation of planes and site footprint; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that such exemption from development should also include a limitation on the number of flights, hangars, gates, and Board of Trustee Meeting August 12,2003 Page 14 of 27 number of parking spaces at current levels in order that we may protect our fragile environment from the noise, air and water pollution that any such expansion would generate; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Village Administrator shall forward a copy of this resolution to Westchester County Legislator Martin Rogowsky. Trustee Santon noted that there were two County Legislature sub-committees reviewing this matter. He noted that recently this matter did not make it onto the calendar of the Board of Legislator's meeting. Instead the committees will be reviewing this matter on the morning of September 8, 2003. There are suggested changes, and some issues brought up by some of the members of the sub- committees that need to be addressed. Mr. Peter Schlactus, of 80 Bellefair Road, addressed the Board. He noted that he also attended the County meeting and felt that Rye Brook was very well represented at the meeting. It was clear that Rye Brook was better represented than any other Town or Village at that meeting.

Trustee Harris requested that the Village Attorney point out the amendments to the resolution. Mr. Beane responded by reviewing the very minor amendments. Trustee Rosenberg noted that he had reviewed the site with the applicant and homeowner. There have been problems, the applicant has made errors, but the future homeowner requests that this resolution be approved. Trustee Santon concurred with Trustee Rosenberg. He felt that the process should not be held up because of tree planting. He was amenable to working with the resolution in order to facilitate the remedy. He requested several minor changes in the resolution. Mr. Beane noted that all of the amendments requested by the applicant have been covered by the resolution. Mr. Carosi addressed the sub-division plat. This plat shows that utilities are available for this sub-division. A waterline can be placed on the property, however, the exact location is not a matter of record. The County Health Department is not concerned with the specifics, but rather that water can be brought to the property. It was noted that in the original approval resolution from May 14, 2002, the applicant was granted the right to sub-divide the parcel. One of the conditions of subdivision approval was review and a report from an arborist. Now, slightly over a year later, several protected trees that were supposed to remain have not. A new tree planting plan must be submitted to replace trees that have been lost. The applicant was instructed to change the title of the plan.
