Present were the following members of the Board: i Mayor Salvatore M. Cresenzi Trustee Michele R. Mendicino Trustee Francis L. Filipowski Trustee Robert J. Ravich Trustee Jane Saffir Smith Also present were: Christopher J. Russo, Village Administrator Edward F. Beane, Village Attorney Rocco V. Circosta, Director of Public Works Jean A. Marra, Deputy Village Clerk x x x x x IJune 13, 1989 001412 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. I 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. - 2 - June 13, 1959 00141d 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- ation pending the Final Site Plan Resolution being approved at the June 27, 1959 meeting.

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.

Mr. Ken Heller said the residents should be informed not to bundle the branches anymore (for Wednesday trash and rubbish pick up) but Mayor Cresenzi explained that, at present, the 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. - 7 - June 13, 1989 00141 is F.

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. - 10 - June 13, 1989 001421 - The following items were then placed on the agenda for the June 27th meeting: PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued) 1.
