BETSY BROWN ASSOCIATES The Special Meeting was for the continuation of the Public Hearing on Betsy Brown Associates. On display was the plot plan dated 1/17/86 which was reviewed at the meeting three weeks ago. Fred Wiedle of Frederick P. Clark Associates - I have had a number of opportunities to review this property over the last year or so. What we now have is a standard development procedures. The stream seems to be adequately protected and I would recommend proceeding with the development conditional upon specifications dealing with construction. Herb Adler, Planning Board Chairman - no structures, temporary to permanent, should be erected on Lots 1, 2 & 3 - within the flood line -this should be in the deed. Mayor Kabcenell - for the proposal before us, Frederick P. Clark Associates will work out road and drainage specs, water delivery, there should be restrictions regarding structures on the flood plain area, and agreement regarding a recreation fee. Felix Fidelibus, Village Engineer - there is a drainage easement between Lots 2 & 3 which straddles the property line - it should he on one property or the other - should be moved so that it is on Lot 3. Question - When the new Candy Lane is tied in to the old, will it be improved to the same specs as the new? It is not as wide and not as well paved. This should be one of the conditions - subject to discussion. George Morrow - setback requirements are 25 feet in R7.5 and 30 feet in R10 - 25 feet is being used for consistency. Mayor Kabcenell - makes sense - the neighbors wanted that. Ken Heller - we should take the conservation land, not make the same mistakes as Rock Ridge. We should also be sure that nothing happens that would impede the flow of the stream. 000562 On the motion of Trustee Nardi, seconded by Trustee Zak, RESOLVED that the subdivisions proposal as on the map of Blind Brook Estates dated 1/17/86 be approved, with the specific restrictions which will be appended to this document. The vote on the motion was as follows: Trustee Cresenzi voting AYE Trustee Nardi voting AYE Trustee Zak voting AYE Mayor Kabcenell voting AYE Trustee Meiskin ABSENT PUBLIC HEARING 5-UNIT CLUSTER PLAN, HIGHVIEW AVENUE Mayor Kabcenell - this is a document dated 1/6/86 - we have not received any information, so if members of the Planning Board want to comment on this proposal..... Herb Adler, Planning Board Chairman - this was presented to us as a five-unit cluster plan. The zoning here is a 2F zone and Mr. Larizza has utilized the cluster concept in the same area. This particular site would support five units, the Planning Board did recommend approval (minutes showing this were not availahle) - with certain conditions regarding preservation of trees. Mayor Kabcenell - this proposal is for clustering on 2 1/2 lots, which would normally accommodate four units. There are really two lots, since we don't have half lots. There is no provision within the zoning code for use of a half lot. Fred Wiedle - to consider more than four units would require rezoning and that would amount to spot zoning. Attorney Kramer concurred. Mayor Kabcenell - the recommendation therefore is not in accordance with the zoning code. Herb Adler - The Planning Board reviewed the plans at the December meeting - this plan is dated 1/6/86 - the Planning Board has not reviewed this plan or made recommendations. Ken Heller - the Village should have plans or guidelines for builders to save trees. Fred Wiedle - there should be site plan review, drawn on a large scale with topo, trees and adjacent houses. 000563 1. Review of subdivision for lot count and 2. Review and approval of site plan. Herb Adler - the Planning Board will meet on February 6th - we will review this at that time. George Morrow - the notice for Public Hearing was for four units. Mayor Kabcenell - something has gotten out of order here, we are looking at a subdivision proposal without ever having received a recommendation from the Planning Board. It is an inappropriate waste of time. We have to be sure that we are dealing with the same information that the Planning Board has considered. On the motion of Trustee Nardi, seconded by Trustee Zak, RESOLVED that the Village Board declare itself Lead Agency in connection with the application for a proposed subdivision on Highview Avenue by Louis Larizza. The vote on the motion was as follows: Trustee Cresenzi voting AYE Trustee Nardi voting AYE Trustee Zak voting AYE Mayor Kabcenell voting AYE Trustee Meiskin ABSENT ITEMS FOR AGENDA OF FEBRUARY 25TH 1986 REGULAR MEETING Trustee Meiskin arrived at this point.
