Mayor and Members of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rye Brook 90 South Ridge Street Rye Brook, New York 10573 Re: Charlotte Belove 20 Lincoln Avenue Rye Brook, New York Section 1, Block 12, Lot 1B2-B1A Dear Mayor Kabcenell h Members of the Board: On April 23, 1985 the Village of Rye Brook, acting by and through its Board of Trustees, approved the subdivision of the captioned premises provided the subdivided lot utilized its access through a right-of-way located Immediately adjacent to it rather than to have a curb cut effected on Lincoln Avenue. The imposition of the foregoing condition would appear to render academic the requirement of frontage of the newly created lot on Lincoln Avenue since a recorded right-of-way is afforded to the said newly subdivided lot to and from Lincoln Avenue. Under the circumstances, It is respectfully requested that this matter be restored to your calendar for the purpose of establishing a revised lot line subdividing parcel 1 from parcel 2 as shown on the subdivision map to permit said parcel 2 to front exclusively on the right-of-way" as shown on said map and to eliminate the frontage of said lot on Lincoln Avenue. Thank you for your cooperation. Very truly yours, GIOFFRE k GIOFFRB, P.C. Bruno I otfre BaG:jt 000585 The Village Board voted unanimouslY to refer this to the Planning Board for recommendations and if need be to our consultants. 2 Letter re SUBDIVISION APPLICATION - ROYAL EXECUTIVE PARK.

The Board of Trustees will recall that in conjunction with the develop- ment of Phase I-A of the Royal Executive Park property, the Board of Trustees on December 21, 1983 approved the subdivision of Royal Executive Park into Royal Executive Park I and Royal Executive Park II. The approved subdivision map indicated that Royal Executive Park I consisted of three new office buildings and the adjacent property consisting of approximately 25,9 acres. The remainder of the Royal Executive Park property consisting at the time of vacant land was designated as Royal Executive Park II. This subdivision map was filed in the Westchester County Clerk's Office, Division of Land Records on February 29, 1984 as Map No. 21483. As the Board of Trustees is aware, construction is now nearing completion on Phase I-B of the Royal Executive Park property consisting of three office buildings located on approximately 18.2 acres of land. The remaining property which is proposed to be known as Royal Executive Park III consists of approximately 31 acres of vacant land. Thus, the proposed subdivision map will indicate the following: Royal Executive Park I - Three buildings presently occupied and located on approximately 25.9 acres of land, _.. -- - ----- - -. 000586 Page Two April 22, 1986 Royal Executive Park II - Three buildings presently under construction located on approximately 18.2 acres of land. Royal Executive Park III - The remainder of the Royal Executive Park property consisting of approximately 31 acres of vacant land. In conjunction with the proposed subdivision, enclosed please find our subdivision application along with ten copies of the proposed "Resubdivision Plan of Royal Executive Park" as prepared by J.A. Kirby Company of Port Chester, New York. We believe that the proposed subdivision pllt meets all the subdivision requirements of the State of New York and the Village of Rye Brook. Further, and as part of the subdivision application, we are enclosing an Environmental Assessment Form prepared in conjunction with the subdivision as well as a check in the amount of $100.00 conproposed stituting the filing fee for the subdivision application. As a result of the foregoing submissions, we would request that the Village Board take the following actions at its April 29, 1984 Village Board meeting: 1. Issue a negative declaration under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Law in regard to the proposed resubdivision and authorize the circulation of such negative declaration to other involved agencies and adjacent property owners. 2. Refer the proposed subdivision plat to the Planning Board for its recommendation. 3. Schedule a public hearing on the proposed subdivision plat to be held by the Board of Trustees in May, 1986. Thank you for your cooperation. Very qulY YoArs JHS/js Joel H.

Mayor Jack Kabcenell and Members of the Board of Trustees Village of Rye Brook South Ridge Street Rye Brook, New York Re: Citicorp. Site Plan Amendment- Arrowwood Conference Center Expansion Dear Mayor Kabcenell and Members of the Board of Trustees: On behalf of our client, Westchester Conference Center Development Corp., delivered herewith is its application for amendment of the site plan for its conference center, Arrowwood, On September 9,'1980 the Rye Town Board adopted two Final Environmental Impact Statements, one prepared by Citicorp'e.aonsultanta with respect to its property, and a Generic Environmental Impact Statement for the Rye Town . North area prepared by Frederick P. Clark Associates, planning consultants to the Town of Rye. Subsequently, the original site plan was approved by the Town-Board of the Town of Rye on November 5, 1980. fi 1 00OF588 The environmental impact statements contemplated a conference center of 300,000 square feet and subsequent expansion aggregating an additional 150,000 square feet. The success of Arrowwood, which has received several awards as one of the outstanding conference centers in the country, has indicated the need at this time to proceed with the previously considered expansion. The applicant, Westchester Conference Center Development Corp., is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citibank, N.A., which, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citicorp. It proposes a Phase IIA -- expansion consisting of a residential wing of 100 rooms, aggregating 54,900 square feet, and a conference wing with additional service facilities aggregating 28,440 square feet. ' Recreational facilities will be commensurately increased. Additional parking, consisting of 149 spaces will be provided concurrently with the Phase IIA construction. It is anticipated that Phase IIA construction will commence within approximately one year of site plan approval. The second phase of the proposed expansion, Phase IIB, consists of another residential wing of 100 rooms, aggregating 53,398 square feet, and another conference wing aggregating 13,262 square feet. Additional parking, consisting of 97 spaces, will be provided concurrently with the Phase IIB construction. Phase IIB construction will commence as the additional facilities are required, probably within three to five years after completion of Phase IIA. It is, however, critical that the village consider the approval of the expansion of the conference center in its totality at this time because of the functional and aesthetic interrelationship of Phase IIA and Phase IIB. We respectfully request that this application be transmitted to the Rye Brook Planning Board for its review and recommendation. Thank you for your consideration. Cordially yours, William V. Cuddy WVC:ap 0005B.", Mayor KabcenelI -- recommended that the documents be forwarded to the Planning Board, the Consultants, and the - Building Inspector. The Village Board agreed unanimously. 4.

RE: TREE ORDINANCE REVIEW and letter of March 25,1986(NELS0NS) Gentlemen: Thank you for your consideration and review of our original letter dated March 25, 1986 submitted by my husband George A. Nelson and myself. Since that earlier letter, developments have come along in the City of Rye, which we feel warrant a full review of their findings. Once again, we sincerely feel that the time to act is at present in order to avoid exactly what occurred in the City of Rye where 40 trees were removed from private property. Please note that in order to allow you.the opportunity to review the varied press releases, I have accordingly enclosed copies of clippings from the Gannett Chain which all relate to the topic of preservation of trees. I sincerely hope that your Board will have the opportunity to review recent events, and ultimately do what is best not only for/ourselves at this time, but as we have said - for the fu re. s0t s' rely, Viola C. son Homeowner/ Loch Lane Rye Brook, New York. �� n 0005, 0 5. Memo from Building Inspector, Felix Fideli6us, re Plumbing Licenses. TO: Mayor Kabcenell & Board of Trustees FROM: Felix Fidelibus, Building Inspector DATE: April 29, 1986 RE: Plumbing License Presently, in the Village of Rye Brook, all contractors, individuals or corporations engaged in or carrying on business of master plumber are required to pass an examination prepared by the Village of Rye Brook Plumbers Examining Board. Renewals are required on a yearly basis, all licenses expire December 31st of each year. The Village of Rye Brook and previously the Town of Rye did not recognize a bona fide license issued by a municipality outside the Town or Village boundaries. The Building Department, Village of Rye Brook is requesting that an amendment or new plumbing code be adopted to recognize and honor master plumber licenses from those municipalities that will also recognize in a reciprocal manner licenses issued by the Village of Rye Brook, and provided further that plumbing contractors be subject to the provisions of codes and ordinances presently in effect in the Village of Rye Brook. FF:sl DISCUSSION a REPORTS. Traffic Commission Report on "No Parking" area proposed for Roanoke Avenue as follows: ' o April 1, 1986 Village Board Village of Rye Brook Ill South Ridge Street Rye Brook, MY 10573 Dear Sirs: On March 10th, the Rye Brook Traffic Commission voted 6-0 with one member absent to recommend an addition to the prohibited parking ordinance 61-15 on Roanoke Avenue south of Interstate 287. 000591 We recommend 'No Parking Any Time' signs be posted at the dead end barricade. Signs currently exist there but they are faded and illegible. There is no current ordinance to support posting of those signs. In addition, we recommend 'No Parking Any Time' signs be posted on the east side of Roanoke Avenue extending from the north side of the last driveway northward to the dead end barricade. Please see locations A & B on the attached diagram. We do not recommend any restriction at location C on the diagram at this time. That decision should be re-evaluated at a later date when the effect of A and B can be assessed. The purpose of this recommendation is to facilitate ease of access to and from driveways at number 7 and the residence directly across the street from number 7. This situation was brought to our attention by our liaison officer, Sergeant Santoro. Commission members viewed the site prior to discussion. If you concur, the ordinance should be enacted after the required public hearings. Signs should then be posted in conformance with the New York State Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. If you have any questions on this matter, please let us know. Sincerely, Joseph Pellino, Chairman Rye Brook Traffic Commission JPksl cc: Chief Frank Gendalia Sgt. Robert Santoro Mayor Kabcenell asked Attorney Kramer to put together a Proposed amendment to our local law, and suggested scheduling a Public Hearing with members of the Traffic Commission present.
