Present: Mayor Kabcenell,Trustees Meiskin, Nardi, Barris, Zak, Treasurer Cortese, Attorney Kramer, and Clerk Smith. - Minutes of the October 25th Regular Meeting and November 7th Special and Agenda Meetings were accepted as presented. CORRESPONDENCE. Mayor Kabcene.11 read the following letter from Ed Lorch who was injured while he was helping someone. "Although I am unable to attend this evening's meeting, -- I wish to take this opportunity to give expression to my thoughts on my recent accident and its aftermath. Nothing is more important in this communication than that the Village Board understand the feelings of gratitude which I, and my family, have toward those members of the Rye Brook Police Department and the Volunteer Ambulance Corps of Port Chester - Rye, who responded as I lay at the accident scene. First, I am proud of the Police Officers as a citizen of the Village, second, and on a more emotional level, I am proud of those Police Officers as a 17 year member of the extended Police family. As for the Ambulance Corps, nothing I can say will be sufficient. They are a part of this community, uniquely dedicated to others, which cannot ever be properlythankedor adequately praised. Although thisoccurrence may leave me with some permanent Physical reminder, in a strange way it was worth the pain to truly discover my community. It will never leave my -- mind for long that as quickly as I was injured, so did my neighbours rally. They surrounded me protectively while I lay in the street, they cared for my family while I was - - hospitalized, and they have gone out of their way to lend aid and comfort upon my return. It may be a long time before I regain full strength in my legs, but the time will never come when I will be able to walk away from this Community, this Village, these people, my home." The Mayor commented that Ed Lorch has given many years of service to the community, and we look forward to his return. The Mayor said we probable receive two or three letters every week commending the Police Department and we are glad that we have been able to increase their rescue training so that they are better able to respond, and are grateful to them that we have this kind of excellent service. Two more letters were received this week, one from Resident Bob Quat commending the quick action of Officers Bottali and Heil in an emergency situation with Mrs. Quat,, and a letter from Senator Joseph Pisani congratulating Officer Peter _ Ramundo who was responsible for saving a woman's life at the Rye Ridge Shopping Center. The Mayor added that this was the second time in recent weeks that Officer Ramundo had saved a life. ROYAL EXECUTIVE PARK - Application for Subdivision. Letter of November 17 addressed to the Village Board from Joel H. Sachs, Attorney, was read by Mayor Kabcenell, copy of which is annexed hereto. In response, a motion was introduced by Trustee Nardi,— seconded ardi,seconded by Trustee Harris, .7 nu^p WHEREAS, the Village Board of the Village of Rye Brook has previously designated itself as lead agency for all future actions related to the development of Royal Executive Park project located off upper King Street, north of Anderson Hill Road in the Village of Rye Brook; and WHEREAS, on November 17, 1983 Royal Executive Park has filed an application with the Village Board of the Village of Rye Brook for subdivision approval in order to subdivide its property within the Village of Rye Brook into two parcels, one parcel of approximately 25 acres to beknown as Royal Executive Park I and one parcel of approximately 50 acres to be known as Royal Executive Park II; and WHEREAS, the instant application for subdivision approval is merely for the purpose of enabling the principals of Royal Executive Park to refinance the project and such subdivision approval will not allow any further development of the Royal Executive Park Site; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that in regard to the subdivision application of Royal Executive Park, the Village Board of the Village of Rye Brook hereby determines that the proposed subdivision of the Royal Executive Park Property located in the Village of Rye Brook will not have a significant effect on the environment and thus directs that a "Negative Declaration" be issued pursuant to the requirements of the New York State Environmental Quality Review Law and the laws of the Village of Rye Brook; and IT IS' FURTHER RESOLVED, that the reason for this determination .As that the granting of the subdivision approval application will merely result in the subdivision of the Royal Executive Park parcel into two parcels and will not authorize any further development on the site; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Village Clerk of the Village of Rye Brook is hereby authorized to prepare a negative declaration and have such declaration published and posted as required by law. The Mayor explained that in substance this is a request from Royal Executive Park to divide their property into two parcels, one of 2S acres, and one of 50 acres, the 25 acre parcel being the one which now has three completed buildings. This is because they want to refinance, the bank needs a separate parcel. Joel Sachs, Attorney for Royal Executive Park stated that under the laws of the State and Village, there will have to be a Public Hearing, and if anyone has any questions they can be asked at that time, at the December Board Meeting. Trustee Nardi asked if .the density would be greater than it is now, Mr. Sachs suggested that be part of the subdivision agreement. It was decided that the Public Hearing be set for the next Regular Board Meeting on December 20th.

L, Trustee Meiskin voting AYE 'trustee Nardi voting AYE Trustee Harris voting AYE Trustee Zak voting AYE Mayor Kabcenell voting AYE RECREATION DEPARTMENT REPORT. Tom Ilroncich, Director of Recreation and Parks, made the following report on Recreation Programs. Brochure. Mailed to residents November 30th/December 1st. Programs include skiing, co-sponsored by Westchester Ski Teen, starts December 11th thru March 17th, 1984. Ladies Aerobics, Youth Basketball, Ice-skating, Karate and Special Events, Holiday Sing-a-long and Snowman Building Contest. Budget_. After much review of the inherited $252,000.00 budget and projecting costs for the remaining 6! months of programs and park expenditures, I have estimated enough funds are available through the fiscal year. However, we have not gone through a full year's experience and have added some new programs, altered the structure of others, and have begun to restore, replace and evaluate maintenance equipment; a true factual budget cannot be identified until the Spring. Programs. Fall programs have operated well. Soccer with over 200 participants was a special success, due to the restructure, organization and instruction of skills and techniques provided throughout the program. Severaladditionsto the soccer program enhanced it's total quality. For Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades, "HARVEY", our Bunny mascot posed for team pictures and visited with the children. Since District 85 school video program is not yet established, -we were able to have a: member of the community donate his time to videotape and edit the championship games to be shown at - .. the awards presentation, on December 10th. However, monitors are needed to complete this effort and we wish to use those monitors that were supposed to be received from UA Columbia to set up the studio at Rye.Ridge Shopping Center and others sent to Ridge Street School, in order to show the tape. Special guest Nyan Jong Abuto, 1983 Guiness Book of World Records holder in juggling a soccer ball, appeared for a demonstration of his skills. (85,295 consecutive touches!) Holiday Sing-a-long.- George Trautwein, Musical Director for Blind Brook High School has been contacted to request a portion of the school choir lead this special community event with holiday songs. Scheduled for December l8th, at Crawford Park. Men's Softball. Contacted District k4 School Board to request use of existing Adult Men's Softball field, since our Department is faced with inheriting approximately 12 teams that were previously permitted to play in Port Chester's Recreation League. Rye Brook Recreation does not have an adult men's field, both Pine Ridge and Garibaldi fields' dimensions are inadequate for adult play. Crawford's ball field, a town park shared with Port Chester Rec, is used two weekdays and weekends for youth play and Ridge Street School's one softball field is also used for youth play seven days per week. It is estimated to accommodate 12 adult teams, a field .is necessary to schedule 140 games between April and September, 1984. Without the use of a field, Rye Brook men may be without a league this summer. Seniors. 22 Rye Brook residents participate in the Port Chester Recreation Senior Citizen program, which meets at the Port Chester YMCA, three weekdays between 10 AM and 2 PM. The development of aRye Brook Senior Citizen Recreation program is presently being _explored. Trustee Harris asked Tom Hroncich if records for each program are being kept - Tom responded "absolutely", Trustee Meiskin said he is disturbed that there is a possibility that the Softball League will not function. . What about varsity baseball fields? Games start mid April and run through mid September. Tom received 176 names from Port Chester Rec. Dept. Trustee Meiskin suggested possible use of subdivided lands not yet being developed. Trustee Nardi asked if the playing fields belonged to the school districts. - yes. Tom lironcich said we would need one field, seven days a week, and perhaps since Port Chester has 12 fewer teams now, Rye --- Brook should be able to be accommodated. -- Resident Ken Heller ofLincolnsaid the District 4 School Board -- met last night and discussed it. The soccer program uses the Junior High fields - could possibly construct a diamond which does not exist. Mayor Kabcenell said it was our intention to use existing facilities. Trustee Meiskin suggested that we discuss the matter with the District 4 School Board, and the Mayor agreed. BUS SERVTCE - ROYAL EXECUTIVE PARK. The Mayor said that we had a request from some people who were working for MCI that they were forced to walk on King Street from Anderson Bill Road and in bad weather it could be quite dangerous since there are no sidewalks. We had written to the Department of Transportation and received a letter from Com- missioner R. Raleigh D'Adamo dated October 31st that they will be able to provide bus service by slightly rerouting. and existing bus route N 1.2 to pass the facility at 6. 25 am and at about 5.10 jam. The Mayor said that we did respond to the needs of people who work in the Village and Perhaps they will need to - - - put on additional buses. Commissioner D'Adanm said it may become necessary at some time in the future to operate directly on the Royal Executive Park property, which would require their permission. Joel Sachs, attorney for Royal Executive Park said that MCIhad written to them asking them to allow the bus to go onto their property to make a turn around and, and that REP is of course disposed to look favorably on mass transportation, they did state earlier they would encourage bus transportation, car pools and metropools. Trustee Harris said there apparently was opposition from REP to bus turnarounds on the property - Mr. Sachs said it was only - a question of liability. Mayor Kabcenell said it becomes increasingly obvious. that cooperation between the Village, . County and the corporations will be very necessary. George Morrow, Special Assistant to the Mayor, said that Mr. Patafio of REP said that while this was a help to have the bus pass the property, it would not solve the problem entirely, since the occupants of Building 2 leave at 5. 30, and Trustee Zak said that the Telephone Co. leaves at 4.30. TRAFFIC COMMISSION REPORT. Mayor Kabcenell read the following report - dated November 19th Since our last report, the Rye Brook Traffic Commission has acted on a num- ber of items, as follows; 1.

Respectfully submitted, I, ohi se°ph Pellino, Chairman Rye Brook Traffic Commission 1P:dp IVe are grateful for the tremendous amount of work done by Joe Pellino and the members of the Traffic Commission. Bowman/Ridge Intersection - this has been a topic of study and discussion for ton years or more, and in order to get us off their back because we have not, let them rest, we finally have a recommendation. 1) to widen approximately 200 feet on Bowman Avenue, southwest of Ridge Street, for a right turn lane, and 2) realign the South Ridge entrance to the Shopping Center -the aim is to get the owners to do something. -The County feels that they will be able toprovidethe money for the widening of Bowman Avenue even though it was not in their plans for 1984,. they feel they can do it. The owners of the Shopping Center indicated a desire to upgrade. On signalization at Franklin Avenue and Bowman Avenue, the County felt the Village should pay for the one at Bowman, but -- some of you may remember, we had an offer of $35,000 from the developer of 2B7/Bowman Plaza to pay for it, to start in 1984 and be completed in 1985. The county will pay for the one at Franklin Street. MEMORANDUM T0: J. Kabeeneet J. Ha",ys M. Meiski.n M. NaAdi S. Zak FROM: G.

'rhe Mayor said this question had been addressed and we should see some changes -inthe next few weeks. Mr. Tanzillo asked if we could have the light sequence at Westchester and Lincoln adjusted, since people speed in order to make the light. The Mayor said we have already asked the State to consider that, and hope that they will be responsive. Resident Joe Zaccagnino said he thinks the No 'turn on Red sign at Betsy Brown is too far from the corner - people don' t see it. Water Utilization Council. On October 26, 1983 Mayor Kabceuel.l addressed a letter to the Chief Executive Officer of the Town of Greenwich, City of Rye and Village. o£ Port Chester, in which he proposed a Water Utilization Council to establish procedures so that all four communities could act in unison in determining a water shortage and 'in response to such a shortage. The other communities responded positively, and a meeting has been scheduled for Friday December 9, 1983. This initial meeting will bring together representatives of the four communities to implement the formation of the councilandestablish guidelines under which it will operate. Joe Pellino asked if the Mayor knew whether there is any plan by Port Chester Water Works or Greenwich to increase their reservoir capacity in light of drought conditions. The Mayor did not think so. We are now getting one million ---- gallons per day from Westchester Joint Water Works, and will soon be getting two million. BOARDING HOUSES AND LODGING HOUSES. The Mayor said he had asked the Village Attorney to check the present Town of Rye Code and that of neighboring communities. Ms. Kramer reported that 2 boarders are permitted anywhere in the Village, and that in addition in 2-Family Zones, rooming houses are permitted, which means that up to 10 persons who pay are permitted to reside in them. The Board has to determine whether we should have perhaps more than two boarders in some areas. I believe that rooming houses, where there might be a problem with parking, should be a discretionary use. We also might consider reducing the number of persons allowed in a rooming house, also set guidelines for parking, and even noise. We should also consider a stiff fine for violations, rather than a misdemeanor charge, since the penalty is too much for the offense and judges are unwilling to sentence. The new State Fire Code could make things more restrictive. -- The type of building determines the fire exits. Mayor Kabcenell asked Building Inspector Fidelibus to look - into the new New York State code, there are a lot of areas where the Village will have to adapt. Trustee Meiskin said it is typical to have rooming houses in 2-Family zones. 'Trustee Nardi asked if there are any rooming houses in Rye Brook, Ms. Kramer said there were. Mr. Fidelibus said they have not been brought to the attention of the Building Department or the Village, and there are no provisions in our code regarding licensing. - Mayor Kabcenell thought it should not be a matter of right but should be licensed. Ile asked Ms. Kramer if we can enact coding in terms of health and fire in excess of what now exists. There was agreement by the Board that something be done in this area - in review —there should be no rooming houses, or they must be licensed, number of boarders, and if we do, then a violations shall not be a misdemeanor, at least not the first one - rather a fine. Resident Nancy Horton suggested grandfathering to require licensing and registration of existing ones, even if we don't permit any more. HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT. Don Brown reported that we are behind in lea pie up ecause of weather, the leaves haven't been falling, andsewerbreaks, which is inconvenient, but we now have 12 men working on it. 'Trustee Nardi said that perhaps the news- paper could publicize. this. We have had discussions relating to problems of all-night parking and have referred the matter to the 'traffic Commission. Joe Pellino said that at the last meeting we said we would like to have an explanation of the No Parking Ordinance possibly in the next Rye Brook Newsletter - Frank Sinicola was working on a draft to review with Bob Santoro of the Police Department. 61-18 ordinance says they must comply with signs so posted. 61-22 clearly covers snow removal and plowing. The Mayor would like to be able to deal with snow removal 190 without making itaninconvenience all year for the three streets which are a hardship as far as parking is concerned. Ms. Kramer said that new legislation makes it possible for a -Village to -declare a snow emergency. Don Brown suggested leaving it alone this year and come up with a new solution for next year. At the last meeting there were recommendations from the - - Traffic Commission that some changes to take care of the problems ' around the areas related to the Osborne Place/Bowman Avenue triangle. The presentation by the Traffic Department deals with changing some of the signs on Bowman Avenue on the north side of the street to read No Parking - No Standing, and another one further west, between Osborn Place and Ridge Street to implement the passage of traffic in the westbound lane. Concurrent with this is a recommendation to have No Parking on Osborne Place on the east side. We would need a Public Hearing to deal with these changes. SENIOR CITIZEN TAX ABATEMENT. The State increased the limits to $13,500, but also reduced abatement over $10,500, including Social Security and retir ement. Trustee Harris stated that there were34 taxpayers in Rye Brook who claimed the exemption, now there probably will be more Mayor Kabcenell suggested that we make a proposal to conform with the new law, for the next Board Meeting. GARBAGE COLLECTION. - Mayor Kabcenell stated we are going to revise our bidding process to get bids for 1, 2 $ 3 years so that we have a viable bid. On the motion of Trustee Nardi seconded by Trustee Meiskin, WHEREAS the Village Verk advertised for bids for Garbage and Refuse Collection for 1984 on October 27th 1983, and WHEREAS, one bid was received and opened on November 7, 1983, and WHEREAS the bid received was significantly different from the bid specifications in that it was a lump sum price for 3 years although the Bid specification specified a one year bid renewable at the-option of the Village Board for four additional years. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the bid received from Carlucci Sanitation on November 7th 1983 be rejected, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Village Clerk be authorized to advertise for bids for Garbage and Refuse Collection to be received and opened at the Agenda Meeting to be held on December 13 1983 atPosillipo Center at 8 PM.

On the motion of Trustee Meiskin, seconded by Trustee Nardi, WHEREAS United Airlines has announced their intention to ' commence flights from Westchcstor County Airport, and WHEREAS the County Board of Legislators must approve the application of United Airlines, and WHEREAS, the addition of airlines and/or flights would be detrimental to the welfare of the residents of Rye Brook, THEREFORE 13E IT RESOLVED that the Village Board is firmly opposed to the increase in scheduled jet aircraft activities at Westchester County Airport, and BE IT FARTHER RESOLVED that by copy of this resolution, the Board's opposition and concern regarding the recent request of United Airlines to operate in and out of Westchester County Airport be expressed to the County Board of Legislators. Trustee Moiskin voting AYE Trustee Nardi voting AYE Trustee Harris voting AYE Trustee Zak voting AYE Mayor Kabcenell voting AYE It was explained that United does not now fly out of or into Westchester - these would be additional flights by another airline. Trustee Meiskin explained that United had applied to use the airport for 737's and Jetamcrica had applied for UC 9's, and were turned down by the airport management on the basis that the main runway could not handle the weight and that ramp facilities were inadequate. Then United Airlines announced that they were coming in with 727',. The County Executive and County Board are appalled that they were never consulted and United airlines say they have a right to come in, and hope they will get permission. Rye Brook should insist that the County Board deny the request. Trustee Ploiskin said the main question is who owns the airport. the FAA stated that the County took money in the form of grants from the Government and that makes it an open airport. Harrison and North Castle passed similar resolutions, Port Chester will, and Armonk, Chappaqua, Greenwich have all been alerted. It has not been before the County and we should send copies of our resolution to Congressman Ottinger and County Legislator Pierre to get them involved. PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR DECEMBER MEETING.
