PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. AMENDMENT TO PUD REGULATIONS - (Continued)
On motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearings be,
and they hereby are, declared open.
The changes in the PUD regulations were briefly explained by
Fritz Wiedel of Frederick P. Clark Associates who stated that
this would reduce the minimum required lot size from 30 acres to
10 acres and the density from 7 units to per acre to perhaps 6.
Trustee Mendicino questioned the October 10th letter from the
County wherein it was stated that the parcels should continue as
the present use exists and that residential housing for the area
was undesirable.
William Cuddy, the attorney for Arrowwood and Heritage, stated
this would affect both of his clients' desire to construct
residential housing on those properties.
Some discussion then followed concerning some missing letters
and memos and Mayor Cresenzi stated that he was in receipt of a
memo from Rocco Circosta which discussed the Planning Board's
actions; the Planning Board voted 4 to 3 that the PUD regula-
tions stand as they are.
Mr. Cuddy went on to explain that there were three ways to
develop this property: 1. Modify existing multi-family
residential district; 2. A clustering approach; or 3. Modifi-
cation of PUD -- which has been on the books for fifteen years.
The most appropriate way, Mr. Cuddy said, was by modifying PUD
and since last January, he has worked with the Planning Board
regarding modifications to that ordinance. He added that his
clients have developed residential property in Florida which is
located near an airport so they were familiar in dealing with
similar situations.

November 22, 1988
There are two projects in the Town of Harrison which are in the
same district as this (Heritage) property is, Mr. Cuddy stated,
adding that he disagreed with the letter from the County. This
puts the property owner at a disadvantage because in order to,
get approval for this, an 80% vote from the Board is required;
not 60%.
Many hotels in the area are for sale, Mr. Cuddy noted, adding
there was no foreseeable future for that use. He then suggested
that the County buy the land and not deny the property owner the
reasonable use of it. There is no predictability in rezoning,
he added, and mandatory clustering is not the answer.
Many other municipalities use PUD, Mr. Cuddy stated, adding that
residential use has less of an impact on traffic than any other
use. He then asked that the Board please do not just dismiss
this as it has an obligation to the welfare of the community.
Mayor Cresenzi thanked Mr. Cuddy for his statement, after which
Mr. Bernard Klem, a Planning Board member, pointed out it was
highly inappropriate for an applicant to submit legislation for
our Village.
Times change, Mr. Ken Heller mentioned, some years ago some of
these same people wanted hotel zoning. Since this didn't work,
they want it changed; what about five years from now? he asked.
To answer one of Mr. Heller's statement, Mr. Wiedle responded
that eleven automobile trips per day per household includes
every, vehicle arriving and leaving the dwelling such as delivery
trucks, mail service, school buses, people off to work, etc. ;
one trip coming and one trip going is counted, he concluded.
This is a potpourri of uses and traffic is not generated at peak
hours. As the Village Planner, he said he would not recommend
something that was bad for the Village -- he has the Village' s
best interest at heart.
The number of homes which could be constructed if the size of
the PUD was changed from 30 to 10 acres is what' s being
questioned here, Mayor Cresenzi said, adding that the Heritage
site was mainly under discussion and that same project could be
developed under mandatory clustering.
That is a "crap shoot" for the developer, Mr. Cuddy stressed,
the developer would have no guidance.

November 22, 1988
After polling the Board, Mayor Cresenzi announced that the
general consensus was not to change the PUD regulations.
Thereafter, on motion by Trustee Mendicino, seconded by Trustee
Smith, with Trustee Ravich abstaining, it was
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be
closed on the Amendments to the PUD
Regulations but that the record remain
open for ten days (December 2, 1988) for
comments which will then be discussed at
the December 20, 1988 meeting.
Mr. Cuddy \ then noted for the record that Trustee Ravich may not
have to abstain in future discussions since the PUD regulations
were not adopted.
The order of the agenda was slightly changed with Item #3 being
heard first.
3. PROPOSED LOCAL LAW #10-1988: FLAG/DEEP LOT SUBDIVISIONS
At the request of the Planning and Zoning Boards, Mayor Cresenzi
stated that this matter would be adjourned to December 20th;
however, Mr. Bruno Gioffre interjected that he understood it was
difficult for the Board to act on this matter now but requested
that .the proposed law be distributed to those boards as soon as
possible so that they had sufficient time to review it.
Mr. Gioffre continued by saying that what he was just handed by
the Deputy Clerk suggested that the (flag lot) properties be
"two times the size" and with the approximately 95 lots suitable
for flag lots in the Village, none of them would be eligible
under this proposal.
He then requested that the Board give careful consideration to
this proposal and added that he would like time to address this
fully at the December 20th meeting.
Thereafter, on motion by Trustee Ravich, seconded by Trustee
Smith, with a unanimous vote of the Board, the following
resolution was adopted:
4 -
001242
November 22, 1988
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing on
Proposed Local Law #10-1988, entitled
"Flag/Deep Lot Subdivisions" be and it
hereby is adjourned to December 20, 1988
at 8:00 P.M.
2. PROPOSED LOCAL LAW #9-1988: OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS
Ms. Lisa Teitlebaum, of Frederick P. Clark Associates, explained
the proposed changes in the off-street parking requirements and
added that there were also new provisions for cluster housing as
well as parking requirements for banks and service stations
being added.
Deputy Clerk Marra then explained that there was certain wording
that was to be removed in the proposed law as it was redundant.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that this proposed law reflects today' s
times and anticipates for new construction.
Mr. Bernie Klem of the Planning Board submitted that the Zoning
Code Revision Committee worked very closely with Lisa on this
and then suggested that one item be added.
In reply to a question raised by Trustee Mendicino, Ms.
Teitelbaum replied that all requirements were for on-site
parking.
Too many changes were presented this evening, Mr. Gioffre said,
so a decision (on adopting the proposed law) would be very
difficult to make.
Trustee Filipowski said that he did not think that the proposed
parking regulations were sufficient considering the number of
cars in some families today, and a discussion then followed
regarding garages.
Thereafter, on motion by Trustee Ravich, seconded by Trustee
Smith, with a unanimous vote of the Board, the following
resolution was adopted:
