111 SOUTH RIDGE STREET
RYE BROOK, NEW YORK 10573
Minutes of Meeting -- September 6 , 1984
Present: All Members
I. Royal Executive Park -- Joel Sachs for the developer.
Following up on the inquiry of the last meeting,
Royal has revised its proposed site plan to provide for an
atrium between the three buildings in Phase "IB." The
atrium would enclose an area of 13,300 sq. ft. with a glass
roof, walls of glass and the exteriors of the buildings. -
The buildings themselves would be placed closer together
than they had been. The enclosed space would be air
conditioned or heated, depending on the season.
The Board indicated it would not want a visual
impression of a single very large building and, to avoid
this effect, the glass should not be made to appear as
mirrored glass. The Board also indicated that use
restrictions would have to be added to the site plan
approval, to insure that the enclosed area would remain an
atrium.
Mr. Sachs asked the Board to approve a three-page
resolution circulated at the beginning of the meeting and
submitted by Fritz Weidle of Clark Associates. The Board
took a somewhat different position.
The Board recommended approval of the physical
details of the site plan of Phase "IB" of Royal Executive
Park, pointing out to the Village Board that if this site
were so developed, at peak hours:
1. Anderson Hill Road, at its intersection with*
King Street, would be at Level of Service F; -
2. King Street, at the intersection with the
Hutchinson River Parkway, would be at Level
of Service F; and
3. King Street itself would be substantially at
its capacity,
absent completion of the proposed remedial measures
enumerated in the DEIS and the proposed area boulevard,
*Level E is capacity.
Whether the site plan itself should be approved under these
circumstances was a policy decision for the Village Board to
make.
The Board also adopted, with certain
modifications, various comments and proposals suggested by
Clark Associates, namely that:
A) The developer has reserved a hundred foot
right of way for a boulevard-type road through its property
and will construct said road at its expense for use of the
public, and will offer said road and right of way for use as
part of any future inter-community collector road (area
boulevard) as may be approved by the Village of Rye Brook.
B) - The developer has proposed certain highway
and road improvements to the King Street/Anderson Hill Road
intersection and has stated its agreement to pay for a "fair
share" of the needed improvements at this intersection.
034.1
C) The developer has pointed out the need for
several improvements at the King Street and Merritt Parkway
intersection to permit that interchange to function at Level
of Service E or better, and has indicated its willingness to
form a traffic improvement district and/or to contribute a
fair share towards the provision of these improvements.
D) The Village Board should continue to explore
the creation of a major road construction and improvement
district, financed as a special assessment against the
benefitting land owners.
E) The applicants should submit a written '
maintenance schedule for the storm drainage system, re silt
and debris removal, etc.
F) Landscaping, construction and soil erosion
control procedures should be monitored by the Village of Rye
Brook during the site plan review process.
The above was approved by a vote of 4-0 with Mr.
Lipman abstaining.
II. Rye Brook Office Park
The Board recommended approval of the physical
details of the site plan of Rye Brook Office Park, pointing
out to the Village Board that if this site were so
developed, at peak hours:
1. Anderson Hill Road, at its intersection with
King Street, would be at Level of Service F;
2. King Street, at the intersection with the
Hutchinson River Parkway, would he at Level
of Service F; and
3. King Street itself would be substantially at
its capacity,
absent completion of the proposed remedial measures
enumerated in the DEIS and the proposed area boulevard.
Whether the site plan itself should be approved under these
circumstances was a policy decision for .the Village Board to
make.
The Board also adopted, with certain
modifications, various comments and proposals suggested by
Clark Associates, namely that:
A) The applicant has submitted sketch maps
indicating a possible location of a boulevard-type road
passing through an 82-acre parcel to the west of a 30-acre
proposed office building site, and showing its relationship
to the Westchester County Airport Runway Extension and
Proposed Lighting Facilities dated August 1984. The
Planning Board notes:
i) Design of this road should be integrated
with the design of the runway approach lighting system, as
in the case of I-684.
ii) The applicant should reserve a hundred
foot right of way for a boulevard-type road on its property
and should construct said road at its expense for use of the
public and offer said road and right of way for use as part
of any future inter-community collector road as may be
approved by the Village of Rye Brook.

Mr. Weidle has indicated that he needs several weeks to complete his
recommendations and it seems to be unlikely that it could be ready in
time for the next Board meeting. Let me tell the developers if it were
possible to get a report and have the Board deal with it in advance of
this, we would consider reconvening this public hearing at the next
Board meeting, I think it is far more likely that it will be delayed
to the following Board meeting, or perhaps to the Agenda Meeting on
October 9th. I would propose adjourning until October 9th, and hopefully
we will have sufficient information to act on the proposals.
Joel Sachs - Perhaps we can adjourn to September 25th, we have already
provided some of the information requested.
Mayor KabcenelL - we will schedule it for September 25th with the
understanding that if we do not have sufficient information, we will `
readjourn to a subsequent meeting.
Trustee Meiskin - If one developer is ready, could approval be given to
one without the other.
Mayor Kabcenell - Yes.
The Public Hearing was adjourned to September 25th.
