Mayor Cresenzi commented that last Thursday evening the Country Ridge section
of the Village of Rye Brook was hit by a tornado. As confirmed by the
National Weather Service, there was severe tree damage, power loss and
telephone loss. Fortunately, no one was injured. He commended Police Chief
Santoro, the Police Department, Rocco Circosta, Director of Public Works and
the Highway Department for a job well done.
1. PUBLIC SCOPING SESSION
RE: ASHGROVE REALTY PROPOSAL
Mr. Thomas Gissen of Frederick P. Clark Associates explained that this
Scoping Session is part of the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA)
process. SEQRA is a State Law which applies to all development proposals as
well as most other government activity and exists to ensure that the planning
process is more rational. It is intended to be a fact finding process. In
this case the applicant has proposed a rezoning and, contingent upon that, a
site plan approval for a site to accommodate 119, 000 square feet for a
community shopping center. In compliance with SEQR, the applicant submitted
an environmental assessment form to determine what areas might need to be
studied and what potentially significant negative impacts or adverse impacts
might be associated with the proposal. In reviewing this form, the Village
was able to determine that this was a Type I Action, which is considered to
be one that has the greatest potential for significant adverse impact. The
Village then determined that it should be the Lead Agency that would process
this application under SEQR. There are other approval authorities that would
be required to sign off on this project and one of those approval authorities
must act as the Lead Agency. The Village circulated a notice and no other
agency challenged the Village's right to do so. The Village therefore,
became a Lead Agency. A month ago, the Village issued a Positive Declaration
which meant that the Village had determined that there was a possibility of
certain significant adverse impacts having to do with traffic, visual
impacts, noise, impacts to wetlands, vegetation, compatibility with
neighboring land uses and zoning districts, impacts on existing retail
centers and districts and fiscal impacts to taxing authority including but
not limited to the Village. The next step is the preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement, which is done in draft copy first, and in
final copy, second, The purpose of the scoping session is to determine what
issues should be addressed in the Environmental Impact statement and not to
determine whether or not one is opposed to the project. There will be a
Public Hearing held on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement, which
address every issue determined by the Village Board of Trustees after
listening to the comments of the public, staff and consultants. Once the
DEIS is submitted for completeness, it is circulated to other involved
agencies and it is made available to the public. There are minimum time
limits under which the public has to have the opportunity to review the
document and can make comment on the document. Once that is completed, the
comments must be addressed in the Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS) . A Public Hearing will be held on the FEIS and, if everything that
had to be addressed was, the Village will then issue a findings statement.
Mr. Gissen concluded that based upon the findings statement, the Village
Board can decide whether to approve the project as proposed, with conditions
or to deny the project.

September 8, 1992
Mr. Bruno Gioffre stated that he agreed with what Mr. Gissen has said. He
added that the Scoping session was done preliminarily by the Planning
Commission and the function of that body and of this body is to find certain
environmental issues if they exist with respect to the site and to require
that they be addressed and explored and returned to the Village Board with
respect to certain findings and recommendations for you to then accept,
reject, modify and ultimately if necessary take over the environmental
evaluation process and get to the question of the merits of the application.
This is a procedural step to get to the substantive step. The substantive
step then addresses a two phased question. Is it appropriate to rezone this
property after having made certain environmental findings, from the presently
H-1 to the proposed zone, neighborhood retail, Cl-P. In the process of that
you will review a site plan, which will be site specific and would enhance
the evaluation of the application and enable you to look at the application
for rezoning in the specific light of the proposed use to which the property
would be for. You would be looking at a 15. 4 parcel which has 2.7 acres in
Greenwich, the triangular parcel which runs along King Street and 12. 7 acres
in Rye Brook which runs along Anderson Hill Road parallel to King Street.
The Village has made a declaration and sent out a message to the public and
to buyers that this is a commercially zoned site for hotel use. This must be
evaluated relative to what could be done with the site as a matter of right.
The site would be 119, 000 square feet. Sixty-four thousand square feet would
be for the supermarket proper and Twelve thousand, three hundred and seventy
square feet would be for the mezzanine, storage or ancillary supermarket
space. There would be two proposed satellite stores of forty-two thousand,
five hundred square feet. The proposal is one half of the floor area ratio
requirements the Village of Rye Brook permits for the site. This proposal
would be a unique presentation of upscale shops with first class
construction. Before you get to those issues and before we produce the site
plan and the before the experts speak before the Board, we must determine
certain environmental issues, which have been commented on by the planning
consultant of the Village. We ask that in evaluating the environmental
concerns here, you do so in light of prevailing zoning. Please proceed with
the environmental concerns and evaluate what is before you already and come
up with a fair comprehensive site specific scoping so that we can address
those issues.
Mr. Ed Leiberman stated that he is here on behalf of a group of residents
known as People Against Aggressive Development. They have gathered petitions
that have been signed by over 1, 682 residents of the Village. He agreed with
Mr. Gissen that this is a meeting for scoping, which is a limited issue. He
added, however, that he has risen to a point of order as to whether or not
you wish to proceed, or have to proceed with the SEQRA process at all. As a
long time municipal attorney, Mr. Leiberman stated that he is aware that the
duty of the Village Board is to be fair to the applicant and also to the
residents and taxpayers in terms of possible lawsuits down the road.
Sometimes it is more fair to an applicant to be honest up front rather than
to have the applicant spend enormous sums of money on experts to prepare a
DEIS and the FEIS on projects which are not really in the best interest of
the Village and will not become a reality. Mr. Leiberman questioned if this
Board would approve such a proposal after only a few years turning down 42
housing units on this same site. He asked the Board to please consider
whether they really wish to put everyone through the SEQRA process.
3
September 8, 1992 (?
Mr. Leiberman then recited Section 617 . 3D of the SEQRA Regulations. He
explained that this meant that if the Village Board, as a legislative body,
determined that the proposed rezoning is not appropriate for the site, then
you do not have to go any further and follow the SEQRA process. There have
been lawsuits and civil rights actions by developers against Municipalities
for turning down their projects and slapsuits by developers against residents
who speak up against developers. In this particular case, the applicant has
not yet bought the property so he has only spent a minor amount for an option
for the property. The cost will be enormous to put the developer through the
SEQRA process, not to mention the Village's time as well as the residents
time. Mr. Leiberman submitted that in this case it would be more fair to the
applicant, to the Village Board, the staff and the residents if you would
step back and consider if you think this is an appropriate zoning for this
site. Many years ago, this property was rezoned Hotel as a buffer between
the more intense uses to the West, from the residential to the North, South
and East of the property. Would a shopping center be in line with this
concept of a transitional zone as a buffer between the residential uses and
the more intense uses. In conclusion, I would again urge you to invoke
Section 617 . 3D, step back, and tell this applicant that you are not going to
put them through this hassle: "This will not fly! "
On Motion made by Trustee Solomon, seconded by Trustee Pellino, the Board
adjourned into Executive Session at 8 : 25 p.m. to discuss pending legal issues
related to this application.
The Board reconvened into Public Session at 8 : 43 p.m and on Motion made by
Trustee Solomon, seconded by Trustee Pellino, the following resolution was
hereby adopted:

DETERMINING NOT TO ENTERTAIN REZONING
APPLICATION AND RELATED MATTERS
Name: Ashgrove Realty Corporation (Silverman Development Group)=
Proposed Community Retail Center Development.
i
Description: Applicant has requested a change of zoning district
classification and site plan approval for an approximately
12 .726 acre parcel. Applicant proposes to develop a
community retail center of approximately 119, 000 square
feet, as well as ancillary parking, loading, circulation,
detention and other associated areas. In addition to site
plan approval, the applicant has requested the Village
Board of Trustees to rezone the subject site from a H-1
(Hotel) district to a C1-p (commercial retail district.
Location: At or near the southwest quadrant of the intersection of
King Street and Anderson Hill Road in the Village of Rye
Brook.
Tax Designation: Section 2 , Block 4, Lots 5, 6, 7, and 7A1.
Determination: 1. In this case, the applicant has made an application
for a zoning change to rezone the subject 12 . 726 acre site
from the existing H-1 (Hotel) district to a C1-P
(commercial retail) district. The purpose of the rezoning
request is to facilitate the applicant's plan to develop
the property in a manner now not permitted by its zoning
classification. Applicant wishes to construct a community
retail center of approximately 119, 000 square feet, as
well as ancillary parking, loading, circulation, detention
and other associated areas. A site plan application for
this use, which is dependent upon a legislative zoning
change, has also been submitted.
2 . A rezoning is a legislative matter resting in the
legislative discretion of the Board of Trustees. There
is no right, conferred by law, to obtain a zoning change
or to mandate its consideration.
3 . Under the DEC regulations adopted under the State
Environmental Quality Review Act, Environmental
Conservation Law Section 8-0101 et sea. , in particular,
6 N.Y.C.R. 617 . 3 (d) , it is provided that an:
" . .agency which must make a legislative
decision, such as a rezoning, need not apply
SEQR to its legislative decision process if
the agency determines that the action will not
be entertained. " (emphasis added) .
4. In light of the extensive review this application
would require, in the context of the limited resources of
the Village, both fiscal and personnel, and other matters
judged of treater importance to the Village, consideration
of this rezoning is not warranted under the circumstances.
004-4
5. The action, is entertained, would be a Type I action
under SEQR with the potential for significant adverse
impacts as more particularly described below, thus
requiring the preparation and review of an environmental
impact statement, and associated proceedings which could
include public hearings and a final EIS together with SEQR
findings. A positive declaration was made on August 11,
1992 .
6. on their face, the materials submitted indicate one
or more aspects of the intrinsic nature of the proposal
which may have a significant impact on the environment
including, but not limited to: traffic, visual impacts,
noise, wetlands, vegetation, incompatibility with
neighboring land uses and zoning districts, retail
development within a trade area, and fiscal impacts on the
Village. The Village has also prepared a draft of scoping
outline for a Draft-Environmental Impact Statement and
initiated a public scoping session on September 8, 1992 .
7 . Under the circumstances, inasmuch as the present
application for a rezoning is of no present interest to
the Board of Trustees, in light of the above, the extended
review of the application and the attendant expense upon
the Village and the applicant, considering its apparent
magnitude, is not in the best interests of the Village and
others.
8. The site plan application is subject to the rezoning
application in the sense that the site plan is dependent
upon a rezoning to allow the uses represented in the site
plan to be effectuated. As the Board of Trustees has
determined that the rezoning will not be entertained, the
site plan application is not complete, and will not be
further processed, for the criteria of a complete
application are not fulfilled. A review os this
application for such purpose is not within the
contemplation of the SEQR process as per 6 N.Y.C.R.R.
617 . 3 (c) (2) .
9. As set forth in the site plan regulations (Local Law
28-1984) , the procedures therein are intended to be
integrated as appropriate with requirements of the Village
Law and other mandatory requirements. In the particular
circumstances of this proposal, the integration of the
requirements for rezoning renders the site plan
application incomplete and unapprovable.
10. A per Section 66014 of the Zoning Law, the
application for a rezoning was referred to the Planning
Board. These provisions of the Zoning Law also provide
for a report "unless such proceedings have therefore been
terminated. "
11. For the reasons stated, these proceedings
(rezoning/site plan) are terminated.

SECTION 1, BLOCK 22, LOT 4AA12A2
on Motion made by Trustee Zuckerman, seconded by Trustee Daly, the following
resolution was hereby adopted:
RESOLUTION
REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING BOARD
MERRITT & HOLBY ASSOCIATES/200 SOUTH RIDGE STREET
REVISED SITE PLAN MODIFICATION
SECTION 1, BLOCK 22, LOT 4AA12A2
WHEREAS, an application was received for Site Plan Modification for the use
of the Lower Level & Driving Configuration from Merritt & Holby Associates at
the premises located at 200 South Ridge Street and known on the Tax
Assessment Map of the Village of Rye Brook as Section 1, Block 22 , Lot
4AA,2A2 .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that this application is hereby referred to the Planning Board this
8th day of September, 1992 for their review and recommendations; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the applicant is hereby required to contribute the
amount of $1, 000 toward consulting fees for environmental impact review, and
said amount shall be due and payable upon referral to the Planning Board of
said application; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that if the entire sum is not required for consulting fees,
then the balance shall be returned to the applicant. However, if additional
sums are needed, then they shall be paid by the applicant.
Trustee Daly stated that she was angry that Merritt and Holby have sort of
already committed people to use of the underground storage space, when we
haven't even discussed it yet.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that in regard to the parking requirements, we have an
approved subdivision and site plan regarding the new construction of the
shopping center there now, but questioned whether or not the traffic that is
generated by this lower level was taken into account during the environmental
and in the parking review that has already been completed.
Mr. Circosta stated that in the new parking code under retail use, we require
a gross area of the building. In the approval of the site plan that we now
have, it was included as part of the retail.

September 8, 1992
Michael Stolzar stated that in the approval of the site plan, this space was
either going to be used for a Bowling Alley or for storage. We gave no
consideration to any other possible uses.
Mr. Gioffre stated that Mr. Stolzar's statement was not totally accurate.
After attempts to use the site for a bowling alley, they realize that it just
did not work out. It was never stated that it would be a storage use
forever. The Planning Commission stated that it didn't want that area used
in the beginning for development unless it were part of the entire
application. Timing was a critical factor and it was therefore suggested
that that area be withdrawn from a proposal for use at that time. But that
the parking requirements of the site accommodate that area for the future.
The Board does not have the right to say in a neighborhood retail use, you
shall not use space for which everything else is satisfactory for retail use.
There are now uses that are complimentary that will satisfy the zoning
requirements, they don't compete between the hours of traffic. It should not
be looked upon as a prohibited use.
Mr.. Eugene Strum stated that in their deliberations they did include the area
in parking computation. The applicant specifically agreed that any future
use of the site would be subject to the approval of the Village Board.
Mr. Stolzar stated that it is important to consider what an applicant
presents to you and the history of the site should be considered. The only
time that the use of that space was not presented as being used for storage
space was at the last Planning Board Meeting. The applicant agreed with us
that we would proceed with it with the understanding that future use would be
subject to the Board's approval.
Mr. Gioffre stated that if we referred to the Planning Board Minutes of
several meetings back, you will find that this question did come up and the
record will show that they evaluated that space with the idea that it could
ultimately be used. Evaluation was done early on knowing that there is a
possible potential use for it. He suggested that it be referred and acted
upon. There could be two uses in there, a gymnastic use and a Gymboree.
They do not impose upon the parking or circulation of traffic on the site.
Trustee Zuckerman stated that this is only a Planning Board referral, and
there is no reason to discuss these merits at this time.

Attorney Powell explained that it was something that Con Edison insisted upon
because in the event they sell the property, it doesn't become encumbered
with an agreement. Their substation or gas regulating facilities are so
remote that it's not a major issue.
Trustee Solomon questioned how many actual dollars would this be costing the
Village in 1992 , 1993 and 1994 .
Mr. William Wendlandt replied that he did not have that information with him.
Administrator Russo calculated roughly $3 , 000 each year.
Trustee Solomon questioned what we are saving on the years that are being
dismissed.
Administrator Russo stated that he did not have those numbers available
tonight.

Trustee Solomon questioned where we are on the Royal Executive Park Agreement
that was tabled recently.
Attorney Powell replied that he sent a letter to their attorneys requesting
that they address a series of points regarding the best interest .of the
Village. This would include a procedure for discontinuing lawsuits the
waiver of refund claims and similar provisions which would preclude the owner
from pursuing any pending tax certiorari or filing any notes of issue or
bringing administrative appeals. The attorney for the property owner was on
vacation for several weeks so when he returns, he will receive the letter.
It should all be finalized in the next week or two.

Administrator Russo stated that they are going to be moving the trailer out
of the way as best as possible. They will be doing a little grating work and
will calculate the amount of leaves that we can store because of their
trailer. We are negotiating with them to pay for the tub grinder for the
additional time that we are going to need it. According to a phone call we
had with them today, it looks like they will pay for the tub grinder, but how
much, we are not sure. It is moving along. Regarding our letter about the
map, they have not upgraded the map in a while and it is not accurate, but
they are working on it and will get us a copy.
