PLANNING BOARD REFERRALS: 3. Arrowwood Property Trustee Meiskin requested that Mayor Kabcenell appoint a Mayor's Task Force on Affordable Housing before "there ain't any more land left to build on." He added that young people, empty nesters, senior citizens, and public sector employees in Rye Brook have great difficulty finding affordable housing and the Task Force could search out ways to meet with developers and land owners in the hope of building some affordable housing for these persons while this opportunity was before the Board and before all of the land disappears. 3 - I OOOO i January 12, 1988 Mayor Kabcenell said he couldn't agree more with Trustee Meiskin as it was an excellent idea and such a group will be appointed. It was Trustee Cresenzi's suggestion that the concept of affordable housing be expanded to include all development such as Arrowwood, King Street, etc. and to ultimately coordinate a comprehensive plan. j The Chairman of the Planning Board will be informed of the Task Force, Mayor Kabcenell stated, and he explained that in this instance, the applicant (Arrowwood) could not be denied due process. He added he would request that the Planning Board take into consideration the fact that this was one of the Board's considerations and they (the Planning Board) could possibly delay action for a month in order to take this matter into account. The attorney for Arrowwood, William Cuddy, stated he would not suggest that any developers be appointed to the Task Force and also that a dialogue in the early stages of the development would be most appropriate. He then requested that at the next meeting, the Village Board declare themselves Lead Agency in this matter and also that they direct Frederick P. Clark to proceed with the environmental review of this application. I A member of the Planning Board, Bernie Klem, suggested that a moratorium on building be imposed until this issue was resolved but Mayor Kabcenell was of the opinion that a committee could come in and do it (the Task Force review) without undue delay. It was then suggested by Mr. Klem that the Arrowwood application be separated into two applications: 1) the amendment for the Site Plan Approval and 2) the residential development. However, Mr. Cuddy stated that it could only be taken separately insofar as the amendment to the Site Plan Approval on the Conference Center, and the rezoning issue could be handled otherwise, but only up to a certain point. After some further discussion, and on motion by Trustee Meiskin, seconded by Trustee Cresenzi, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the application of the KSB Arrowwood Realty Corp. be referred to the Planning Board for its review and recommendations; and - 4 - 1 000968 i January 12, 1988 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning Board take into consideration the fact that a Mayor' s Task Force on Affordable Housing will be formed to study the possibility of affordable housing being constructed in the Village of Rye Brook. x x x x x it 4.
