2. AWARDING CONTRACT #9103
FURNISHING & DELIVERING OF FIREARMS
Trustee Ravich questioned how long the furnishing of weapons would
take and whether or not they had these firearms in stock. He also
stated that after the new weapons are provided, our old weapons will
be given in trade.

days and that this was a fairly small order for Amchar.
Trustee Pellino questioned if this met all of the requirements that
the Police Chief felt were necessary to fulfill.
Administrator Russo replied that the Police Chief was satisfied. One
other item which is not listed, because it did not require bidding,
is ammunition for training and certification of Police staff, leather
holsters and two new shotguns to replace two antiquated ones.

6. APPROVING SIGNAGE AT KING STREET
VICINITY OF BLIND BROOK HIGH SCHOOL
Mayor Cresenzi explained that there has been an ongoing problem
concerning traffic in the vicinity of Blind Brook High School on King
Street. There has been correspondence from the Chief of Police, and
the issues were reviewed by the Traffic Commission. The Mayor
suggested that the Village Board sit down with members of the School
Board and explore alternatives highlighted in the memo from the
Traffic Commission. Where traffic from Glenville Road spills onto
King Street, currently a right on red is permitted. This greatly
complicates the traffic pattern on King Street making it more
difficult to get in and out of the High School and the Arbors. Mayor
Cresenzi suggested that the Board vote to install a "No Turn On Red"
sign from Glenville Road onto King Street.
On Motion made by Trustee Ravich, seconded by Trustee Pellino, the
following Resolution was adopted:
RESOLUTION
SIGNAGE AT KING STREET/GLENVILLE ROAD
RESOLVED, that the Village of Rye Brook shall enact a "No Right On
Red" sign on Glenville Road at the intersection with King Street
effective 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that said sign be suspended alongside the traffic
light on the guidewire.
Trustee Pellino stated that the Traffic Commission Minutes state that
the sign would be placed alongside the light, which will be suspended
from the guidewire. He suggested that the Board look into whether
the traffic light was located in New York or Connecticut.
Administrator Russo stated that he would have to look into that. The
intersection, however is in New York.
Trustee Pellino also stated that the Board should specify a time
period for the No Right Turn, as the problem really only occurs in
the morning. He suggested 7:30 A.M. to 9:30 P.M. He stated that
rather than inconvenience the public for the entire day the morning
rush is what should be concentrated on.
Trustee Solomon agreed with Trustee Pellino but stated that 7:00 A.M.
rather than 7:30 A.M. might be better, as he has also experienced the
traffic of the early morning rush hour.

August 20, 1991
Administrator Russo stated that a "No Right on Red" is a real burden
for motorists and suggested that this sign be in effect from 7:30
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays only.

7. IMPLEMENTING PLANNING BOARD AND
ZONING BOARD TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
Trustee Pellino stated that he discussed this matter with the
Chairman of the Planning Board, Gene Strum, who has asked for a one
month delay before the Board takes action on this resolution. Mr.
Strum wished to discuss this resolution with the members of the
Planning Board. Both the Zoning and Planning Boards are very
important Boards, and the members should attend seminars and
conferences so that they may be properly trained in the complexities
of issues that come before them.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that this was understandable and the Resolution
would be tabled and put on next months agenda.
Trustee Pellino added that as a member of the Planning Board in the
past, he voluntarily attended seminars and he believes that there is
a movement in the State to make this mandatory at some point in the
future.
8. JAMES F. FAHERTY
760 KING STREET
SECTION 1, BLOCK 10, LOTS 2B & C, 3A, 5B & 6B
APPROVAL OF SUBDIVISION
Attorney Beane stated that this approval resolution includes the
following special provisions: There is a specific provision that
requires that the deed for each of the lots that have been created by
this subdivision include a restriction stating that the roadway is
subject to relocation or reconfiguration in the event that future
subdivision or development of this property or adjoining properties
should occur. This restriction shall run with the land and there is
a companion requirement that the copy of the deed for each lot be
submitted to the Village Attorney for approval prior to the
conveyance of any lot to a third party. In areas where there is a
potential for future subdivision there have been public concerns
expressed so this restriction will appear in the deed. The
recreation donation fee was computed to be $21,490.00.
- 6 -
August 20, 1991
Prior to the signing of the subdivision map, there is a provision
that requires the applicant to grant an irrevocable easement in favor
of the unapproved front lots for ingress and egress, including boats,
and bicycles in pedestrian traffic. The subdivision plat will have a
designation stating that it is subject to all of the requirements and .
conditions of the final subdivision approval resolution dated August
20, 1991, making it clear to anyone purchasing these lots that they
are bound by resolution as well as plat. Furthermore, each proposed
purchaser will receive a copy of this resolution. The period of time
by which the subdivision map must be filed is six months and the
period of time by which the subdivided lots must be built upon is
twelve months, but the Board agreed to change twelve months to twenty
four months, so as some construction must be started.
Attorney Beane presented the Negative Declaration to the Board for
Approval.
On Motion made by Trustee Pellino, seconded by Trustee Ravich, the
Negative Declaration was accepted.

permit the applicant to apply for an extension.
Mr. Heller of Lincoln Avenue questioned if the approval resolution
mentioned the tree preservation ordinance to prevent any unnecessary
trees from being taken down.
Attorney Beane replied that this need not be mentioned in the
approval resolution as the ordinance applies to every piece of
property in the Village whether it is being subdivided or not.

SECTION 1, BLOCK 10, LOT 6A

Attorney Beane explained that this resolution contained many of the
same provisions of the prior subdivision resolution. It does not
have a specific deed resolution with respect to future subdivision
because of the configuration of the property, and there will be no

Recreation Trust Fund is $14,887 which was computed in accordance
with our subdivision requirements. Any perspective purchaser of the

MODIFICATION TO SITE PLAN APPROVAL
DEDICATION OF ROADS
SECTION 1, BLOCK 5, LOTS 19F, 19E02A,
19D1 AND 19E3
Mayor Cresenzi opened the Public Hearing at 8:45 p.m. and introduced
Mr. Mitchell Hochberg of Brook II Ventures, Inc.
Mr. Hochberg requested that Park Ridge Court and Longledge Drive be
dedicated, as there are five families residing there. These families
cannot receive garbage pickup, school buses will not enter because it
is a private road, the post office will not deliver the mail to their
homes and their maintenance is considerably higher because there are
certain responsibilities that the homeowners association is taking on
because the Village will not. The homeowners have been assessed at
the full value of their homes and are paying full taxes to the
Village of Rye Brook and they should be the beneficiaries of the full
services that the Village has to offer. He stated that he is
prepared to leave a substantial bond up to the extent that there is
any damage done to the road while construction commences.
Attorney Beane stated that there is already a draft resolution for
the dedication of these two roads which upon approval by this Board
will become a final resolution. It has four conditions which the
developer must satisfy in order for this resolution to be signed. He
must furnish the Village of Rye Brook with a duly executed deed of
dedication of the roadways in a form approved by the Village
Attorney. Mr. Beane stated that he has received a proposed deed with
metes and bounds descriptions for the two roadways, which is in
proper form. He has not received the final deed, which will be based
on the approval of this resolution. The developer also must furnish
the Village with a title insurance policy in an amount which will be
decided upon in time for the next Board of Trustees meeting.
Attorney Beane stated that the resolution is in acceptable form and
it could be passed contingent upon the Developer satisfying all
conditions.
Mr. Heller stated that there is a guard at the entrance of Hidden
Falls and questioned if the guard would remain after these roads are
dedicated.
Mr. Hochberg stated that the guard is there to avoid vandalism at
night on the construction site. The guard will not prevent anyone
from entering the property.
Mr. Heller stated that there should be a sign in front of the Hidden
Falls entrance pointing out that there is an entrance to the Rye
Hills Park.

designated above based on the roadways' substantial completion; and
WHEREAS, the Developer now desires to dedicate said roadways to the
Village of Rye Brook and to secure from the Village Board a reduction
in the amount of the Performance Bond;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
