Report to Commission: Sgt. Arnold reports that the Rye Brook Hwy Department has
finished installing the new signs on Wyman Street and Wyman Street North.
Old Business: (1) Betsy Brown Rd/Ridge Street. There will be no changes made at this
time, there were no problems observed at the location.
(2) The issue involving the parking condition on Neuton Ave. in the vicinity of 9219 was
discussed at length by the Committee. Motion was made by Commissioner Lombardi and
seconded by Commissioner Heiser that no changes be made. The motion was passed
unanimously. The Committee could not find a practicable solution for the problems
brought before the board that would not adversely affect other residents.
There were several suggestions brought before the Committee, such as allowing parking
along the street adjacent to the athletic fields. This area is in Port Chester and is outside
the jurisdiction of the Committee. Extending the parking regulations down Neuton Ave.
will not address the issues of parking on weekends and at night. The current regulation
only bans parking on School days from 8am-4pm.
(3) Crescent Place. Issue was referred to the committee regarding parking regulations on
Crescent Place. A motion was made by Comm. Heiser and seconded by Comm.
Appelbaum. The following was passed unanimously to make the parking regulation on
Crescent place consistent with the rest of the neighborhood.
No Parking on the North side of Crescent Place from 10:00 a.m. on Thursdays to 10:00
a.m. on Mondays.
No Parking on the South side of Crescent Place from 10:00 a.m. on Mondays to 10:00
a.m. on Thursdays.
No parking between signs on the North side of Crescent Place from the driveway of 931
Highview Ave. to a point 55 feet east on Crescent Place.
No parking on the North side of Crescent Place from South Ridge Street to a point 50 feet
west. "No Parking from here to Corner"
No parking on the south side of Crescent Place from South Ridge Street to a point 25 feet
West. "No Parking from here to corner"
(4) Grant Street was discussed. An issue was brought to the attention of the committee
that on Grant Street there are signs posted on a fence that are not consistent with the
village code. The issue of allowing parking in the dead end does block the homeowner's
driveway at 994. A motion by Commissioner Appelbaum/second by Commissioner
Brandeis was passed unanimously as follows:
On the South side of Grant Street-No parking from the drive way of 494 to a point 60
Feet West towards Louis Court.
New Business: Wilton Road/Beacon Lane issue brought to the attention of the
Committee. In attendance were Mr. and Mrs. Hirsch. They had requested a three way
stop sign at intersection of Witlton Road and Beacon Lane. There has been reported
speeding in the area and home owners feel that additional stop signs placed at the
intersection may reduce speeding. It has been requested that Sgt. Arnold conducts a
Traffic Study in the area and report back to the committee. The hedges on the corner will
be referred to the Building Department. There was a question on whether they reduce the
visibility to vehicles traveling at the intersection.
Next Meeting: 6/6/2011 at 8:00 pm.
Meeting adjourned: Motion byComm. Walter. Motion seconded byComm. Zeitlin. All
are in favor at 9:20 pm.
