• Resolution acting on the Application
Chairman Zuckerman advised the Board that the application had been before the Zoning Board
and has been granted the requested variances.
Mr. Charles Utchig, Engineer for the applicant, addressed the Board and gave an overview of the
project noting that he had met with Village staff and made the necessary changes to the drainage
component of the application, which now includes catching all runoff from the site, existing and
proposed. The necessary details have been added to the plans and now meet with the approval of
the Village Engineer.
Mrs. Marilyn Timpone-Mohamed advised the Board that all prior issues from her memo have
been addressed.
Mr. Accurso asked Mr. Utchig why the trench drain does not drain into the cultec system. Mr.
Utchig responded that the design of the stormwater system does not include connecting the
trench drain to the cultic units and he believes they have complied with the intent of the code,
and the construction budget of the applicant.

CHAIRMAN ZUCKERMAN YES
MOTION APPROVED (7-0)
Mr. Tony Pisari, Engineer for the applicant, addressed the Board and stated that they had taken
the recommendations of the Village Engineer, recalculated the number of cultec units required
and addressed the landscape plan, which was resolved by bringing in a landscape architect to
provide a new landscape plan that has been submitted.
Mrs. Marilyn Timpone-Mohamed advised the Board that the new landscape plan includes the
additional buffer mitigation that was previously recommended. It also resolves the number of
trees to be removed. The house was moved away from the flood plain so that only a small
portion of the deck remains within it.
Mr. Accurso asked why the new trees were located in one area, at which Mr. Lopez, the
Landscape Architect for the applicant, explained that there are large existing trees on the North
side of the lot and the proposed location of the new trees is adjacent to the stream to enhance the
buffer.
Mr. Accurso also asked for a confirmation that the elevation of the new basement floor is one
foot deeper than the current basement floor. Mr. Pisari responded the basement floor is located
one foot deeper and a sump pump was added to drain into the cultec system that has a capacity
increased by one unit.

Drive, Rye Brook NY, parcel ID 135.51-1-1

the requested variances were granted.

Mr. Vaggi, on behalf of the applicant, addressed the Board and advised they resubmitted the tree
preservation plan, landscape plan and an updated storm water management plan. He briefly
discussed the changes in each.
Mrs. Marilyn Timpone-Mohamed addressed the Board, stating that the existing home required
variances which were granted by the Zoning Board, and the new home would not require any
variances to be built. The revised arborist report submitted states that 34 trees would require
removal for various reasons, which would only leave 5 regulated trees remaining on the new lot.
She explained further that the Village Code does not distinguish between dead and live trees
when determining the number of replacement trees required. If a tree is removed for any reason
it must be replaced. So the number of replacement trees required must be recalculated based on
the regulations in the Village Code and the landscape plan revised to address the new
requirement.
Mr. Laufer asked for clarification regarding tree removal and replacement. Mrs. Timpone-
Mohamed explained that there is a formula in the Code to calculate the number of replacement
trees required. The formula is based on the size and the number of trees being removed.

Mr. Grzan asked about the variances that were granted by the Zoning Board and for clarification
regarding the irregular 0 Betsy Brown Road lot line that creates the 20-foot "strip" of lot along
Betsy Brown Road.
Mrs. Amanda Kandel, Village Attorney, responded that if the lot line had been changed the Elm
Hill lot would be larger and the variance given would be too big so the Zoning Board
conditioned the variance based on the lot line staying as proposed. If the line changes before this
Board, they would have to go back before the Zoning Board for additional variances.
Mr. Tartaglia questioned the impervious surface calculations in two areas on the plan —
specifically the existing slate terrace on the Elm Hill lot. He also asked about the minimum
usable open space requirement as he does not see that on the plan. Mrs. Kandel responded that
the minimum usable open space requirement is left up to the Building Inspector and is usually
not an issue. As for the impervious surface calculations, Mr. Vaggi responded that he would have
to look at the figures again before he could respond.
Mr. Accurso had difficulty rationalizing the 20-foot strip and believes it contributes visible open
space to the existing lot, but not to the proposed lot and building. He believes it circumvents the
intent of the Village zoning code in regard to open space.
Dr. Rothman, the applicant, addressed the Board, inquiring as to why the issue is being discussed
again as it was discussed at great length at the Zoning Board and believes the lot line issues were
settled there.
Chairman Zuckerman responded that lot lines are a Planning Board issue, and in his opinion, the
extra square footage of the strip is a tool to increase the lot area of the Betsy Brown lot and in
turn the gross floor area and impervious surface coverage of the new house, which is a matter
for the Planning Board to decide.
Chairman Zuckerman is also concerned with one aspect of the storm water management plan in
that the storm water from the existing house is not being handled as well as it could be. The new
house is being handled at 100 percent and he would like an update on the stormwater
management of the existing house.
Mr. Brian Smith, Engineer for the applicant responded that after consulting with Dolph Rotfeld,
Village Engineering Consultant, it was decided to add a swale adjacent to Betsy Brown Road to
direct stormwater from the existing lot into an existing catch basin in the right-of-way.
Mr. Rotfeld addressed the Board explaining the swale will be constructed within the 20 foot strip
and will handle 90 percent of the run off from the existing building.
Mr. Tartaglia asked about a drainage easement for the benefit of the manor house at which Mr.
Vaggi responded that there is going to be an environmental easement on the property which
would cover that issue.
Mrs. Schoen would like to see a better landscape plan when the applicant returns.

Mr. Grzan asked what was going to change when the applicant comes back. He believes the 20
foot strip is the real problem and if the same plan comes back he will have the same problem
with it that he has now. Mr. Accurso concurs.
Chairman Zuckerman stated there is work to be done on this plan in regard to the 20 foot strip,
the impervious surface calculation, the landscape plan and drafting the plan modification in
regard to the swale. Dr. Rothman wants to have further discussion tonight as he does not want to
spend any more money and believes he has done everything the Village has asked for including
agreeing to restrictive covenants on both properties. His desire is to preserve the Manor house.
Mr. Goodman believes that what is troubling about the strip is the precedent that it sets for future
applications. There are no clear criteria to preclude it and he believes this should have been
addressed in the early stages of this application but it seems to have slipped through the cracks.
He would like to move forward with the application, and while he does not like to see the code
manipulated, the application has a long history and he believes the applicant meets the criteria
that the Board set for the application.
Chairman Zuckerman called for a motion to adjourn the Public Hearing to May 13th and on a
motion made by Mr. Goodman and seconded by Mrs. Schoen, Mr. Nowak called the roll:

5. Review of a Subdivision application by Loewen Development for a two lot
subdivision located at 40 Lincoln Avenue, Rye Brook, NY, Parcel ID 135.49-1-2.
Mr. Tony Gioffre of Cuddy and Feder addressed the Board on behalf of the applicant and gave
an overview of the proposed application that seeks a two lot subdivision of a lot in the R-12
zoning district and the Scenic Roads Overlay District. Mr. Gioffre met with Village staff several
times to discuss issues and hopefully to move the application along. He added that while the lots
are being demonstrated on the plan as buildable lots, the applicant does not propose to build on
them now.
Mr. Ralph Mastromonaco, Engineer for the applicant, addressed the Board and gave a more in
depth overview of the proposed project. He has met with Dolph Rotfeld in regard to drainage and
flooding concerns and believes he has addressed and met all the state codes.
Mrs. Timpone-Mohamed addressed the Board confirming that she and Mr. Nowak had met with
the applicant. The application was before the Board in 2008 and at that time a site visit was
12 Planning Board Draft Minutes
4/22/2010
performed by her office, which provided information regarding the environmental constraints on
the property as it backs up to the Blind Brook. In the past, the site was used as a garden for a
home in Harrison and there are designed features on the site such as walkways and concrete
bridges, as well as ornamental plantings in addition to natural vegetation.. It is located within the
flood plain of the Blind Brook, which is also a concern. The applicant provided some reports late
today that have not yet been reviewed by the FPCA wetlands scientist. There are a number of
environmental constraints on the site that may make it difficult to separate a site plan review
from the subdivision review on this particular application, especially since large houses can be
built on the two proposed lots. In closing, she advised the Board that there is also a sewer
easement that belongs to Westchester County on the property constraining where homes can be
built on both lots.
Mr. Gioffre responded that they have submitted documentation in the last few months that he
believes addresses some of these issues.
Mrs. Timpone-Mohamed added that they met with the applicant approximately three weeks ago
at which time she asked for additional information which just arrived today so she cannot
comment on the new information until it is reviewed.
Mrs. Schoen understands the reason for submitting the report from Mr. Marino, but believes it is
very confusing and completely opposite of Mrs. Mohamed's memo. She added that she is very
sensitive to wetland projects and would like to know where the areas are of mutual agreement.
Mr. Gioffre understands this is just the beginning of the project and will meet with Village staff
as requested.
Chairman Zuckerman stated that they are all agreed that if you take away the houses that are
already shown on the plan you still have to find a place to put a building envelope in the midst of
all the environmental constraints.
Mrs. Kandel added that as far as the plat is concerned, she would not recommend or allow
Chairman Zuckerman to sign it with the two homes indicated.
Mr. Dolph Rotfeld addressed the Board stating he had received a report and sketches a couple of
days ago and has not had a chance to review them yet. He looked at the environmental
assessment form and found some items missing, including the required review by the
Westchester County Planning Department. He has not seen any supporting calculations for the
storm water plan, nothing regarding work in the wetlands, nothing on erosion control or
construction details or compliance with the Westchester County Stream Control Act. Mr. Rotfeld
provided Article 3 of the Westchester County Stream Control act to the Board for review.
Mr. Goodman asked what other jurisdictions would be involved other than the County.
Mr. Rotfeld responded in addition to Westchester County Department of Environmental
Conservation, the Town of Harrison and possibly the Army Corp of Engineers.
Mrs. Kandel advised the Board that Section 239 of the General Municipal Law requires the
application to be referred to the Town/Village of Harrison as well as the Westchester County
13 Planning Board Draft Minutes
4/22/2010
Department of Planning who will make a recommendation. If this Board does not agree with the
recommendation, it can be overruled by means of a super-majorityvote.
Mr. Tartaglia asked if the applicant owns the property, and the response was yes the applicant
does own the property. Mr. Tartaglia asked for a survey, to which they responded that they do
have one and will provide that as well as a topographical survey where all easements are
indicated.
Chairman Zuckerman adjourned the application to May 13, 2010.
As there was no further business, Chairman Zuckerman called for a motion to adjourn and on a
motion made by Mrs. Schoen and seconded by Mr. Goodman, the meeting was adjourned at 9:57
pm by unanimous voice vote.
