POLICE STUDY REPORT 00.I 44J
Mayor Cresenzi gave a brief overview of the of the purpose of the
Police Study submitted by Carroll Buracker and Associates, Inc. of
Vienna, Virginia and he proceeded to introduce Mr. Buracker and his
associate, Mr. James Cotter.
Mr. Buracker presented a synopsis of his education and previous
experience as well as that of Mr. Cotter and he then presented the
following report:
First he extended his appreciation to the Chief and members of the
Rye Brook Police Department for their cooperation in conducting this
study and said the observations and recommendations contained in this
report were only advisory in nature.
Crime & Workload
The Village has a very low crime rate, he said; on a comparison with
other municipalities, it has one of the lowest and it ranks very good
in terms of safety.
Administration & Staffing
Based on the low level of crime and workload, the Police Department
seems to have an adequate number of personnel at present, but in the
future, staffing should be evaluated on an annual basis.
There is no "second in command" or any clerical assistance, Mr.
Buracker pointed out.
Communications
Police officers, detectives or sergeants to serve as dispatchers and
desk officers is not an efficient way of allocating personnel.
Morale
On the negative side, he mentioned autocratic administration,
favoritism in promotional processes, lack of direction, high
attrition, lack of a contract and the rotation of sergeants. On the
positive side, a nice community to work in, good training, good
equipment and the work itself.
Court
Since the Village doesn't have its own court, it has little accounta-
bility for the administration of the court process and based on the
experience of the Study Team, a Village court should be established.

Personnel Management
Members of the Police Department are not evaluated on their job
performance and this is viewed as a shortcoming. They should have the
opportunity
to be evaluated on their strengths and/or weaknesses.
Also, Mr. Buracker noted that after graduating from the Police
Academy, the officers were assigned to solo patrol and since they
were unfamiliar with the Village and Police Department rules, this
practice should cease.
Facilities
Many complaints were made about the lack of adequate facilities, and
while a need exists to establish a plan on the space needs for the
entire Village Office Mr. Buracker said more emphasis should be
placed on accomplishing the Police Department's mission.
Manual
Until a problem was experienced or a copy requested, a number of
personnel reported that they were not given a manual of operating
procedures and regulations. Mr. Buracker recommended that the Chief
upgrade the manual, that the Village Attorney review it, and that
every member of the Police Department receive a copy.
Accreditation
A number of police departments in New York State have embarked on an
accreditation program and the Study Team recommended the Commission
on Acfreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (GALEA) program be
pursued by the Rye Brook Police Department.
Mr. Buracker pointed out that the observations and recommendations in
this report were only advisory and that the Chief should have an
opportunity to review this report and provide a response.
The following list represents a suggested action plan for the Village
to consider, Mr. Buracker said and, affordability must be determined
in implementing the changes which have costs attached. Some of the
recommendations do not include any cost, but require a substantial
amount of work by the Chief and the proposed lieutenant position:

August 15, 1989
Mayor Cresenzi inquired about the future staffing requirements in the
Police Department and Mr. Buracker replied that the present number
should be adequate for the next three years. However, if drug involve-
ment or the number of burglaries increased, more officers might be
needed. . . "the number of police officers and the level of crime do
not necessarily have any relationship," he added.
Mayor Cresenzi then asked what benefits the Village would derive from
a Village Court, to which Mr. Buracker responded that someone else
could, perhaps, better answer that question but he did say that it
would provide a level of accountability in the community -- the
Village sets fines for certain violations and the (existing) court
has to try to understand why this was done.
Trustee Ravich asked what other municipalities do with such a report
-- was there a checks and balances system? Mr. Buracker said progress
reports are usually prepared every three to six months to ascertain
what has been accomplished. He added that he would be available to
tion of an
towards the implementation Y of these recommendations.
help P
Mayor Cresenzi inquired about the fixed-shift system and Mr. Buracker
said they don't have to be permanent fixed shifts -- it could be done
on a rotating basis. The men seem to prefer it, he said, and Mr.
Cotter added that the officers get to know the community better
during their particular shift.
Mayor Cresenzi then asked what the benefits of the National Accredi-
tation Program were to which Mr. Cotter responded that it makes the
officers aware of what's expected of them but the major benefit is to
the men themselves.
Trustee Filipowski questioned what the consensus of the men was
regarding fixed shifts and Mr. Cotter explained that, although mixed,
it was leaning towards trying permanent assignments.
Trustee Filipowski asked what could be changed (in the Department)
and Mr. -Buracker said some things have occurred during the past year
regarding morale. Police work can also be boring, Mr. Cotter stated;
the sameness of the job can be frustrating. Mr. Buracker added that
"there was nothing wrong that couldn't be fixed!"
Mayor Cresenzi thanked the gentlemen for the informative report and
said he might be calling on them again.
NOT ON THE AGENDA - APPOINTMENT OF YOUTH OFFICER
"The children of this Village are the foundation of the Country,"
Mayor Cresenzi announced, and with tremendous enthusiasm, he
appointed Jimmy Mitchell of 95 Wesley Avenue, Port Chester, as the
new Youth Officer for the Village of Rye Brook.

PUBLIC HEARING (continued)
1. HERITAGE AT RYE BROOK
At this time, Attorney Beane excused himself from any participation
in these proceedings.
Mr. Richard Carnaghi gave an overview of what transpired at the July
meeting and he presented a new plan that the Board had requested
which showed the actual square footage of open space.
Roger Ferris, of Ferris Architects, said the new plan also indicated
the exact lot sizes. Mr. Ferris briefly reiterated the highlights of
the project.
Bernard Klem, Chairman of the Planning Board, said that the site plan
should not be discussed now as the major issue was the rezoning issue
and lot count.
Mayor Cresenzi stated it was a total application -- rezoning and site
plan and the Board is listening to the total and complete project.
Perhaps, he said, the total project should be looked at rather than
just numbers.
Michael Stolzar said when this application was before the Planning
Board, the developer did not want to discuss site plan until the
rezoning request was voted on.
Mayor Cresenzi said this property was R-20 before it was zoned H-1 in
December of 1982; the question is what should the basic zoning for
this property be.
According to the records he reviewed, the Mayor said 20 acres of land
was needed (for a hotel) but it was reduced to 10 acres. Local Law
#2 of 1982 talks about (hotel) coverage but it wasn't targeted to a
luxury hotel.
Frederick P. Clark Associates was contacted and they were asked what
could be built there -- the minimum and maximum. What they came back
with, Mayor Cresenzi said, was 150 units up to 180. In 1982, 112
units was originally proposed . and according to the traffic study
done, based on 112 units, 95 trips per hour were anticipated. If this
site is not developed residential, that is what the Village would
have to deal with, the Mayor stressed.
Speaking for himself, Mayor Cresenzi said he liked the concept of the
project as it was a departure from today's trend; but said he was
uncomfortable with the 43 unit count.
Ed Lorch, of the Planning Board, said nobody was disputing that this
should be a residential property -- R-15 or R-20 zone is the point.
Other property will eventually be developed in the area and this
particular property should not be downgraded; housing 30 feet from
the tennis court is too close.

Mayor Cresenzi said the Arrowwood proposal could have more of an
impact with 161 acres -- PUD is 30 acres -- so that could be 5 PUD
developments.
The Country Ridge area was used as an example (of R-15 zoning) , Mr.
Stolzar said, and that is not overcrowded. R-15 would satisfy the
developer's economic needs but would not overburden the Village with
too dense a plan. The schemes presented to the Planning Board,
however, looked very dense, he added.
Joseph Pellino, a Planning Board member, pointed out that in com-
paring this to the County Ridge area, that this (project) will be
clustered. Some of the 43 units, however, are not desirable and, he
added, the issue of density is more of a concern with Arrowwood and
Blind Brook Country Club.
Trustee Mendicino said that all of this bouncing back and forth was
unfair to the developer.
Mr. Klem said he regretted the 1982 Village Board resolution because
no time limit was established (in which a hotel could be built) and
he added that he did not want to be intimidated with the threat of a
hotel being built there.
Getting back to the best use of the land, Mr. Klem stated that
(regarding Arrowwood) 144 units on 30 acres which is surrounded by a
golf course -- so it's really not correct -- 58 acres supports those
units,
the PlanningBoard generally heads towards lower density.
Mr. Carnaghi mentioned that noise and traffic were reviewed -- every-
one likes the concept -- likes the plan. . . .
Mr. Klem suggested moving the clustering toward the center of the
property (in order to provide more of a buffer) .
Trustee Filipowski noted that on the Greenwich property, there would
be two homes nicely spread out and then you would come to Rye Brook!
He also said that any threats of a hotel were nonexistent. The
density is too great for this area, he stated, and with a lower
density, there would be fewer cars coming out and that's more
important than wall-to-wall buildings.
Trustee Smith said she was in agreement with returning it (the
subject parcel) to R-20 zoning.
Trustee Ravich said he also agreed with a higher density in order to
avoid having a sardine package, or perhaps a compromise such as an
R-16.5, or could the two acres in Greenwich remain open space.
Trustee Mendicino voiced her opinion that R-15 would be fine.
In answer to a question raised by Trustee Smith, Mr. Carnaghi said
that too many nice trees would have to come down if the project was
moved more toward the center (of the land) .

August 15, 1989
Mr. Lorch requested the Board not to make past mistakes by allowing
this to be rezoned to an R-15 as compared to an R-20 because future
Board members will be sorry that was ever done.
Mayor Cresenzi maintained that the Board had to deal with what
existed - a- hotel may never be built and in two years, things may
change. He said he did not view it as "giving in" since six members
of the Planning Board could not agree and even the five Village Board
members may not be in agreement.
Gene Strum of the Planning Board said he was an "R-15 person" but the
history of the lot bothered him. If this was still an R-20, would
the Board even consider anything else? he asked.
Mayor Cresenzi said this was not a Betsy Brown or Candy Lane or Deer
Run (project) ; this is by itself and deserves other considerations.
A Connecticut woman pointed out that this (project) was across the
street from one-acre zoning and also that it (King Street) was only a
two-lane road.
Mr. Strum reminded the Board that according to the Master Plan, this
was the area for large tracts of land -- anything else would be spot
zoning, he said, and R-20 was more appropriate for this area.
Trustee Filipowski spoke about traffic going along Ridge Street --
when is enough, enough? Blind Brook (Country Club) also has to be
considered, he said, adding that perhaps the Village should think
about taking it over. The Village does not need more and more houses
packed in there. "R-20 would be my vote," he stated.
Mayor Cresenzi emphasized that R-10 was before the Board and the site
plan is for 43 units. The Board could approve it for R-10 zone but
put a cap on the number of units; that is the application.
Mr. Randy Solomon stated that the Village could not lose by going
with R-20,
Trustee Ravich contended that the school system does need more
students. Cutting down the number of (housing) units, will just make
them more expensive and more difficult to attract purchasers.
Mr. Lorch said the County was hell-bent on expanding the airport and
added that he would hate to see the traffic situation if a hotel was
built there. As far as the other projects (Betsy Brown, Candy Lane
and Deer Run) which were developed, people still bought them.
Mr. Carnaghi concluded by saying that the Rye Brook North Study was
done in 1987 because of the problems the Village Board is facing.
Originally, the plan was for 66 units and that was found to be a
benefit in the Study. House prices have to go up if the number of
units is reduced, he added.

On motion by Trustee Smith, seconded by Trustee Ravich, with a
unanimous vote of the Board, the following resolution was adopted:
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing on the
Heritage application for rezoning and
the Site Plan Approval is hereby closed.
Thereafter, on motion by Trustee Filipowski, seconded by Trustee
Smith, the following resolution was unanimously adopted by a roll
call vote:
HERITAGE AT RYE BROOK
ANDERSON HILL ROAD/KING STREET
SECTION 1, BLOCK 4, LOTS 5, 6, 7a & 7A1
RESOLVED, that the application made by the
Heritage Development Group, Inc. for Site
Plan Approval to construct 43 units of
housing and to rezone the property at the
corner of Anderson Hill Road and King Street
from H-1 to R-10 is hereby denied.
Upon an informal vote being taken, it was 3 to 2 that this matter be
referred back to the Planning Board with the consensus that R-20
zoning be considered.
Mayor Cresenzi then thanked the Planning Board for their time and
patience in this matter.
RESOLUTIONS/DISCUSSIONS
2. MORIARTY - 255 NORTH RIDGE STREET
