MEMORANDUM
To: Christopher Bradbury, Village Administrator
Date: October 8, 2010
Subject: Open Space Zone Study
The Village requested that we perform a review and analysis of open space and recreation
facilities in Rye Brook to provide certain elements of a study to consider the creation of
open space zoning district. The work was performed in conjunction with Keane & Beane,
P.C., who provided background legal analysis regarding the creation of such a zone in a
separate memorandum dated October 21, 2009.
Introduction
Our work generally involved the completion of two tasks in support of the legal analysis
performed by Keane & Beane: 1) identification, inventory and mapping of all Village-
owned open space, parks and recreation facilities; and 2) identification, inventory and
mapping of non-Village-owned open space, recreation facilities or other properties the
Trustees may want to further regulate, preserve or protect as recreational open space or
for environmental reasons.
From data provided by the Village Parks and Recreation Department and aerial
photographs, we catalogued, in report format, a facility inventory for all open-space
properties currently utilized for Village recreational programs or for unstructured active
or passive recreation. These properties were catalogued and reviewed along with
information gathered from the Town of Rye Tax Assessor’s records regarding open space
owned by the Village or other entities, which the Trustees may want to consider
preserving or protecting by inclusion in an open space zone or by other means. Using
GIS-based mapping, we created inventory layers visually cataloging the locations,
information and general environmental attributes of all properties, which were used to
create two inventory and analysis maps. A third map illustrates the natural drainage
basins within the Village.

Space and Other Recreation Facilities” appended to this report is a visual inventory of all
properties included in this study. The map presents the current zoning, ownership, and
acreage of each property.
Map 2, “Environmental Conditions,” presents general environmental conditions on each
property related to wetlands, flood plains and steep slopes. Map 2 illustrates “Item B.
Environmental Conditions” of the document “Current Zoning and Environmental
Conditions of Properties,” appended.
Map 3, “Drainage Basins,” locates and identifies the four drainage basins within the
Village that contribute to the larger Long Island Sound drainage basin.
Preliminary research into environmental, planning, and/or engineering studies regarding
the properties, the Blind Brook, or the Rye Brook portion of the Long Island Sound
drainage basin, was conducted to determine if any of the properties included in the study
were ever analyzed or included in specific recommendations that evaluated preservation
and protection. The following reports were reviewed:

Report and Recommendations
The preservation of open space in its natural condition maintains the character and the
quality of life in the Village. Preservation of existing open space (typically in its natural
condition and present state of use) has generally been found to enhance the present and
potential value of abutting and surrounding properties and to enhance the conservation of
natural and scenic resources, the preservation of the ecology and character of the
community, and quality of the environment. Most of the properties included in the study
are underdeveloped under the current regulations of the districts in which they are
located. All of the properties are located within the Blind Brook portion of the Long
Island Sound regional drainage basin and 12 are located in the Scenic Roads Overlay
District (SROD). (See Maps 1 and 3.)
The location of these properties within the higher elevations of four significant drainage
basins contributing to waters entering Long Island Sound make the properties,
collectively, ecologically important to the preservation of the water quality of the Sound,
which affects local wildlife, and the recreational opportunities of residents of the region.
Twenty-four Village and non-Village-owned properties were identified and studied. The
parcels, encompassing a total of approximately 406 acres, include open space on
undeveloped and developed land, and recreational and other uses that contribute to the
visual, environmental, recreational and open space resources of the Village.
The Village owns 12 of the 24 properties. The other 12 properties are privately owned, or
are owned by public agencies or municipalities. (See “Current Zoning and Environmental
Conditions of Properties.”)
Village-Owned Properties
Rye Brook currently owns, maintains and operates 12 open space and recreational
properties, a total of approximately 69 acres. Three properties are located in the SROD
contributing to the open space and scenic quality of the roads on which they are located.
Most of the properties, by virtue of the fact that they are mostly vegetated open space,
help reduce stormwater runoff and improve the quality of the water ultimately flowing
into Long Island Sound. Five properties, Bellefair Parkland, Rye Brook Athletic Fields,
Meadowlark Park, Rich Manor Park, and Roanoke Park, include constructed or natural
stormwater management areas that contribute to the Village stormwater handling

capabilities. Five properties contain environmentally sensitive wetlands, flood plains
and/or steep slopes.
Village-owned parks and recreational facilities host a variety of athletic and other
recreational programs for Village residents. These venues are augmented by utilization of
several non-Village-owned properties that expand the number of venues available for
programs. (See “Survey of Parks and Currently Utilized Recreation Facilities” and
“Survey of Other Recreation Facilities and Open Space.”)
Although commercial or residential zoning district regulations would allow more intense
development of the Village-owned properties, local ownership and current use afford
these properties a measure of protection against further development and impacts to the
environmentally sensitive areas they contain.
Non-Village-Owned Properties
Twelve properties included in the study, a total of approximately 337 acres, are privately
owned, or owned by public agencies, or other municipalities, specifically the Town of
Rye and the City of Rye. These properties include undeveloped land, developed parks,
underdeveloped privately owned recreational facilities and underdeveloped properties
utilized for municipal or public agency purposes. Nine properties are within the SROD,
contributing to the open space and visual quality of scenic roads in the Village.
Eleven properties contain wetlands, floodplains, or steep slopes, and five properties
currently provide recreational facilities and open space that are utilized as venues for Rye
Brook athletic and recreational programs. (See “Current Zoning and Environmental
Conditions of Properties” and “Survey of Parks and Currently Utilized Recreation
Facilities.”) As with the Village-owned properties described above, most of the
properties, by virtue of the fact that they are mostly vegetated open space, help reduce
stormwater runoff, contributing to the stormwater handling capabilities of the Village and
the quality of water flowing into Long Island Sound.
All of the properties are within residential or commercial zoning districts that would
allow significant development if current uses were to cease operation. Additional
development of certain properties would impact the visual and environmental resources
of the Village and potentially the region, and would reduce the number of recreational
facilities available to residents.

Preliminary Review of Existing Planning and Technical Studies
As noted earlier in this report, nine existing reports relating to recreation planning and
environmental and stormwater issues in the Village were briefly reviewed to determine if
one or more of them provides enough detailed planning and/or technical analysis to
support limiting or precluding development of any of the properties, in particular those
that are privately owned.
The nine studies reviewed were completed between 1987 and 2008. The reports look into
various issues including recreation facility planning, formation of a recreation zone,
vision planning, open space and land use, stormwater management and flood mitigation.
All the issues taken up by the earlier studies are related to potential preservation and
protection of the properties included in this study; however, the earlier technical studies
appear to be too general in their analysis and recommendations, in our opinion based on
our brief review and the Keane and Beane findings of October 21, 2009, to support
inclusion of specific properties in an open space zone.
The earlier planning studies, although also general in nature, do in some measure, support
the need for the public and privately owned recreational facilities in the Village; however,
the studies are out of date and do not analyze the impacts of the loss of existing facilities,
or the environmental cost of the loss of open space, which would give support to the
preservation of properties, particularly those that are privately owned.
Comments and Recommendations
Based on the information gathered and analysis presented in this report we make the
following comments and recommendations:
1. Village-owned recreational and open space properties that contain sensitive
environmental areas and recreational resources are already afforded a measure of
protection against development by virtue of municipal ownership, regardless of
whether or not they are included in an open space zone or are protected by other
measures. However, adding these properties into an open space zone could be an
easily accomplished “first step” after creation of such a zone.
2. There are certain vacant or underdeveloped environmentally sensitive properties
owned by public agencies or municipalities that may be additionally protected by
inclusion in an open space zone through negotiation with these agencies or
municipalities without additional planning analysis or technical study, if such a

zone were to be created. Addition of these properties into an open space zone
could constitute a “second step” after creation of such a zone.
3. There are vacant and underdeveloped non-Village-owned properties in Rye Brook
that contain sensitive environmental areas including wetlands, streams, ponds,
flood plains of the Blind Brook and the East Branch of the Blind Brook,
headwaters of significant drainage basins, and steep slopes that, if developed
under current zoning may result in loss of visual, recreational, and environmental
resources, potentially impacting the capability of the Village stormwater
management system to handle runoff, ultimately affecting the ecology of Long
Island Sound and the character of the Village. However, the nature and the extent
of the potential losses or impacts that may be caused by such development or the
extent to which individual properties contribute to the resources of the Village and
the water quality of the region is not specifically documented. Therefore, we
recommend further review of existing planning and engineering documents related
to these matters to verify our preliminary findings and determine what additional
technical or planning study would be required to support preservation and
protection efforts that may include zoning changes to limit or preclude
development of particular properties.
