ARGYLE ROAD - DISCUSSION
Due to the fact that several residents attended this meeting to
voice their objections to the "No Parking" restrictions on
Argyle Road, Mayor Cresenzi heard this matter first.
Paul Foley, 33 Argyle Road, questioned why this was done when
there was never a problem with emergency vehicles getting
through their street prior to the two new homes being built in
Port Chester.
Mayor Cresenzi replied that this (amendment to the Vehicle &
Traffic Law) was passed by the Board in February at the request
of the Fire and Highway Departments; the area has been a problem
for awhile, however, no action was ever taken on it.
Mr. Raines, of 29 Argyle Road, presented the Clerk with a
petition signed by approximately 20 residents, living on or near
Argyle Road, who stated they were opposed to the "No Parking"
regulations.
There have been no incidents or accidents that would justify the
need for this restriction, Mr. Raines stated; UPS trucks have no
problem getting through.
It was then suggested by Mayor Cresenzi that the residents meet
with him to discuss the matter further and, if necessary, it
could be placed on the June agenda.

PUBLIC HEARING
A. SOUND FEDERAL SAVINGS & LOAN ASSOCIATION -
SITE PLAN APPROVAL
On motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and it
hereby is, declared open.
Bruno Gioffre, attorney for the applicant, presented the request
for the addition of 14 parking spaces and drive-through banking
windows. The circulation of the traffic will be changed, he
said, and the pres6nt area was very congested -- sometimes the
cars are backed up onto Ridge Street. Ingress and egress would
be made much easier, more convenient and less dangerous with the
proposed plan.

Some question was raised about whether or not the County Dept. d
of Public Works would have to be contacted regarding a curb cut
and Mr. Gioffre said if they require it, it will be applied for.
Trustee Mendicino stated that she was not in favor of using the ,
entrance as an exit.
In response to Mayor Cresenzi's request, Mr. Bernard Klem of the
Planning Board, stated that the Planning Board considered a
number of plans and they came up with "one in and two out." One
entrance in and two exits out from the premises would allow for
the best situation until a new building were erected, he said.
The matter of screening along the rear portion of the parking
lot was discussed and following Mr. Gioffre' s explanation about
the temporary storage of some construction equipment on the
site, Mr. Bernard Klem of the Planning Board, requested that the
area remain "green and clean."
Mr. Anthony Morello said he owned the premises on the east side
of the bank property and, after reviewing the plans, stated he
had no objection to the plan at this time.
A local resident stated that she supported the fact that the
boards have looked into this (proposal) for nine months but that
she would like to see this area fixed up and looking nice.
i Thereafter, on motion by Trustee Smith, seconded by Trustee
Ravich, with a unanimous vote of the Board, the following
resolution was adopted:
SOUND FEDERAL SAVINGS & LOAN
115 SOUTH RIDGE STREET
Section 1, Block 24, Lots 1-A and 26-B;
SITE PLAN APPROVAL
RESOLVED, that Site Plan Approval is hereby
granted to Sound Federal Savings & Loan Associ-

E. AWARDING OF CONTRACT #89-02: PORTABLE BRUSH CHIPPER
Administrator Russo explained that half of the funding for the
Chipper was coming from a grant from the County of Westchester.
Trustee Filipowski noted that the original grant was for $7,500
and the chipper came in lower than the anticipated price. He
asked if the funding would be reduced.
Mr. Russo stated that ' the funding could be reduced but more
could be applied for.
Thereafter, on motion by Trustee Ravich, seconded by Trustee
Mendicino, with a unanimous vote of the Board, the following
resolution was adopted:

primary use of the chipper would be limited to storm damage. If
the Village ever gets into a more extensive recycling program,
the guidelines would be changed.

CODE ENFORCEMENT
An item not on the agenda was presented by Attorney Beane, and
on motion by Trustee Ravich, seconded by Trustee Smith, with a
unanimous vote of the Board, the following resolution was
adopted:
- 8 -
June 13, 1989 00 1 4 l i
VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK
ENFORCEMENT OF VILLAGE CODE
LOCAL LAWS & REGULATIONS
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Village Board
to proclaim and assert the importance of the
vigorous and uniform enforcement of the Village
Codes, Local Laws and Regulations, including but
not limited to those relating to Vehicle and
Traffic Matters; Parking Regulations; Building and
Fire Codes; Zoning, Site Plan and Subdivision Laws
and Refuse Regulations; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Village Board to
communicate this intention to the department heads
and personnel of every department in the Village;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
III RESOLVED, that the Village Board hereby directs
this 13th day of June, 1989 that a priority
program be commenced to fairly, uniformly and
vigorously enforce the Village Codes, Local Laws
and Regulations, including but not limited to
those described in this Resolution, and that each
department head implement this program in his or
her department immediately upon receipt of a copy
of this Resolution.
i
HERITAGE AT RYE BROOK
Another item not on the agenda but brought up by Attorney Beane
was that the Board should schedule a Public Hearing for the
rezoning request from Heritage.
Mr. Klem indicated that a majority of the Planning Board was not
present for the vote on this proposal. Five members were present
and four voted to reject the application for rezoning to R-10,
he said, adding the vote was three to two for an R-15 classifi-
cation and that he would like to have a majority present for a
final determination by the Planning Board in order to make a
recommendation to the Village Board.
According to the Village's laws, the Board has to take action --
it could be deferred until the July meeting, but the application
is in order for a Public Hearing, Attorney Beane said. In other
words, the Public Hearing could be open and then adjourned to
July in order to give the Planning Board more time to review
this, or it could be referred back to the Planning Board after
the Public Hearing. Either way, the developer has a valid point
in that they are entitled to a Public Hearing.
- 9 -
June 13, 1989 001 4 v'U
Following a discussion concerning lot count, Mayor Cresenzi
stated that the "key factor" is not the number of houses but
what the property is ultimately rezoned to.
Mr. K1em said it might be awkward for the public to understand
the nature of this application and they might take an unhealthy
view since the matter has not been fully explored and examined.
The project cannot be developed until the zoning is established,
Mayor Cresenzi stated and, thereafter, on motion by Trustee
Ravich, seconded by Trustee Smith, with a unanimous vote of the
Board, the following resolution was adopted:
HERITAGE AT RYE BROOK
ANDERSON HILL ROAD/KING STREET
SECTION 1, BLOCK 4, LOTS 5, 6, 7A & 7A1
RESOLVED, that this Board hereby sets Tuesday, July
18, 1989, at 8:00 P.M. , at the Village Offices, 90
So. Ridge Street, Rye Brook, NY, as the date, time
and place for a Public Hearing to consider the appli-
cation received from Heritage at Rye Brook for a
Rezoning Request from H-1 Hotel Zone, to an R-10
Residential Zone in order to construct 43 clustered
homes on the premises located at Anderson Hill Road
and King Street; known on the Official Tax Map of the
Village of Rye Brook as Section 1, Block 4, Lots 5,
6, 7A & 7A1;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Clerk is hereby
authorized to publish the Notice of Public Hearing in
the Official Newspapers of the Village of Rye Brook.
USE OF-POSILLIPO CENTER
Mayor Cresenzi announced that he received a request from Mr.
Logan of Garibaldi Place to use the Posillipo Center on June 24,
1989 for a picnic for the neighborhood kids.
Trustee Smith asked if that day shouldn't be designated as
"Posillipo Day" and Mayor Cresenzi said he would like to wait
until the parking area is completed as something will probably
be done then.
Trustee Mendicino inquired if anyone else ev=_r requested use of
the Center and Deputy Clerk Marra said she has received many
telephone requests for its use for birthday parties, gradua-
tions, anniversary parties, etc.
Mayor Cresenzi then announced that permission would be granted
and requested that Tom Hroncich, Superintendent of Recreation,
supervise the affair.
