In answer to a question raised by Trustee Filipowski,

PERMITTED
USES IN DESIGNATED FLOOD PLAIN AREA
This item relates
to restrictions on construction in a flood
plain area and specifically to the Betsy Brown subdivision,
Mayor Kabcenell stated, adding that information regarding
requested in order to
this issue was requ hopefully resolve some
of the questions which have araisen concerning what can and
what cannot be built in a floodway, floodway fringe or flood
plain.
The Mayor added that some documentation which states how
they deal with this issue was received from Harrison. The
primary question is what, if anything, should be allowed to
be placed in the various areas.
Trustee Meiskin referred to the study done by the Army Corps
of Engineers and felt that could be used as a guide;
however, as the Mayor stated, it was the fringe area which
had to be addressed -- what is acceptable in a fringe area.
According to the report, all other accessory uses within a
development had to be on fill, Trustee Meiskin offered to
which the Mayor stated that in his interpretation of the
report, he thought that in a floodway fringe, only habitable
areas had to be a certain height.
The definition of the word "structure" differs Mayor
Kabcenell stated; under FEMA, a structure has walls and a
roof.

If a swimming pool were built and it got flooded, the
consenses would be that it should have been built higher,
Trustee Meiskin offered, adding that if the pool was
elevated. . .
Mayor Kabcenell said constructing an elevated pool would
impede the flow of water.
Mr. ten Eicken contributed that when an application for a
building permit in a flood plan area came through the
Building Department, it had to be considered individually.
At present, he said, he refers certain applicants to the
Westchester County Department of Public Works and they are
advised to have the rim of the swimming pool above the 10
year flood level and they are also advised as to the proper
placement of the pool.
Relative to the Betsy Brown Subdivision Resolution, Mr. ten
Eicken noted, it was stated that . . ."no structures may be
built in the 100 year flood plain." Since construction in a
floodway fringe area is regulated by the Flood Plain Manage-
ment Regulation, and in order to further avoid restricting
the use of private property, he suggested the County guide-
lines be followed.
In answer to a question raised by Trustee Filipowski,
Attorney Kramer replied that the Flood Management
Regulations were adopted by the State and have have studied
this at length. Our Zoning Ordinance does not address this
issue, but the recent local law which was just adopted does,
she explained, adding that the Federal Government has
defined the meaning of "structure" and what was allowed to
be built with certain specifications. To do a better job
than the Federal Government would be difficult, Ms. Kramer
concluded, adding that the word "structure" would just have
to be redefined.
This restriction was placed because of complaints from
residents regarding flooding in their homes and yards,
Trustee Cresenzi reported, adding that as long as the people
are aware the condition exists.
Notice could be given in the deed when property is conveyed,
Attorney Kramer stated, that a portion of the property is in
the 100 Year Flood Plain. This would be good for the people
down the road, she added, after the developer has finished
with the subdivision.

In answer to Trustee Nardi's questions, Mr. ten Eicken
responded that if someone wanted to build in a floodway or
along the Brook, he would not issue a building permit; they
would have to go to Westchester County Department of Public
Works and they may be issued a permit from them. The new
Village Engineer will be able to determine what has to go to
the County, he added.
Trustee Filipowski questioned if this would correct anything
which already existed to which Trustee Meiskin responded not
really; the Village may just be too far beyond FEMA's
restrictions.
To answer a question raised by Mr. Bernard Klem, the Mayor
noted that a new buyer should have a right to know that this
area has more restrictive covenants than other areas and
Attorney Kramer added there are more stringent requirements
to build; therefore, it would be more expensive to build in
this particular area. Mayor Kabcenell concluded that the
purchaser has the right to know what he can or cannot do.
Mr. Ken Heller stated that he was not in favor of Federal
regulations setting the tone for the Village of Rye Brook,
to which the Mayor responded that the issue is not, "Can we
be more restrictive, but should we be more restrictive" . . .
(than FEMA) .
Mayor Kabcenell then requested that the necessary documents
be prepared for the July 28th meeting.
