February 05, 2007
Village of Rye Brook
938 King St.
Rye Brook, N.Y. 10573
Present: Chairman Appelbaum, Commissioners Rednick and Blank, Trustee Liaison
Trustee Romano and Police Liaison Sergeant Davison.
Absent: Commissioners Varbero, Walter, Brackman and Ferraro.
Convene Meeting: Meeting called to order by Chairman Appelbaum at 8:03 PM.
Approval of Minutes: Motion made to approve the minutes of both the 12/04/2006 and
01/08/2007 Traffic Commission meetings. All in favor.
Old Business:
1- The request for a stop sign located at the intersection of Bellefair Blvd and
Legendary Circle, made at the 01/08/07 Traffic Commission meeting, has been
determined not to meet the minimum criteria. There have been no accidents at this
location, there are no visual obstructions or dangerous roadways and a stop sign at
this location would impede the flow of traffic on the main roadway of Bellefair
Blvd.
2- The request for No Parking signs on Mohegan Lane made by Park and Recreation
Superintendent Robert Bertolacci in writing at the 10/16/2006 meeting will be
discussed at the 03/05/2007 meeting. A request will be made by Chairman
Appelbaum to Mr Bertolacci that he attend this meeting so the commission may
get his input and recommendations.
New Business:
1- Complaints have been made by patrons of the Bright Horizons Nursery School
(38 Bellefair Blvd) about summons issued to vehicles parking in the fire lane to
drop of children at this location. Complainants inquired about allowing these
vehicles to park in the fire lane in the future. We can not condone vehicles
parking in a fire lane in front of a nursery school for any reason. The Bright
Horizons Nursery School has adequate parking located in the side parking lot and
vehicles may stop or stand momentarily in the fire lane for the express purpose of
picking up and/or discharging passengers, but in no way may patrons park their
vehicles in the fire lane. The Traffic Commission requests that Chief Austin of the
Rye Brook Police Department send an official letter to the Bright Horizons
Nursery School addressing this situation.
Meeting adjourned: 0830 pm
Next Meeting: March 5, 2007 at 8:00 pm.
