Present were the following members of the Board: Mayor Salvatore M. Cresenzi Trustee Michele Daly j Trustee Joseph Pellino Trustee Randy A. Solomon Trustee Gary J. Zuckerman Also present were: Christopher J. Russo, Village Administrator Rocco V. Circosta, Director of Public Works Kenneth E. Powell, Village Attorney Robert J. Santoro, Chief of Police Elizabeth Bottali, Secretary to the Village Board Lori Ann DeMarco, Ass't to Village Administrator and Joseph Cortese, Village Treasurer were not in attendance at this meeting. I October 12, 1993 0['41-16 4 DISCUSSION 1. RESPONSIBILITIES RELATED TO BIRTHDAY RUN & CELEBRATION Ken Berman stated that he and Ken Brown were the co-chairpersons of the Village of Rye Brook Birthday Party in 1993. It was a profitable Birthday Party and both thought that for 1994, if the Board so chooses, the Birthday Party should be under the auspicious of the Board of Trustees. Currently, it is under the auspicious of the Recreation Commission. We would like to continue using Tom Hroncich, Superintendent of Recreation and Parks as the person in charge of organizing the Birthday Party with the 1994 Birthday Party Committee reporting to the Board of Trustees. At the Recreation Commission Meeting, I had questioned what the purpose was of the South East Consortium, who is the current charity that we have donated money to for the past few years and as a result of that particular question there was only one person that could describe what the South East Consortium does. I had proposed with input from a committee meeting that was held back in August, that we have a Rye Brook Charity be the recipient of our funds for 1994 and that might be United Cerebral Palsy or the Anthony J. Posillipo Community Center. We are also proposing to possibly make the party available to the Village of Rye Brook residents and perhaps make it so that non- residents will not be turned away, but will have to pay a nominal charge. We could also send out a mailing providing the Village residents with a pass to the party, etc. We want to gear it towards the residents of Rye Brook and the personnel of the businesses that donated funds and services. The percentage of Rye Brook residents who attended the 1993 party is estimated at only 50%. I would also propose, in order to save money that once we come through with the sponsor we eliminate the run for 1994. Out of 140 runners, less than 10% were residents of the Village of Rye Brook. We discussed the possibility of a company sponsoring the Birthday Run, but we are not sure if an organization can come up with that type of money to sponsor 140 to 150 runners. My feeling is that the run probably should not be held and we can then spend more time and money in having a fantastic Birthday Party. We would prefer not to hold the Birthday Party on Father's Day. We decided that we want to have a cut off date for receiving donations of gifts and services. We will have a Village mailing and those who give prior to the cut off date will have their name in a journal and those who give after that will not be in the journal. We also hope to have more volunteers for next year and make this a big, charitable event and if we could swing it the donor would write a check out to the Village of Rye Brook endowment fund or whatever fund might come 4 up and it will be tax deductible and maybe we could use the fund for a Birthday Party. In f order to save money for the Village and give more to the charities, we decided that we would try to eliminate all paid people working on the party with the exception of the Band and the people operating the rides. Last year, we had a $2,000.00 charge to the budget for individuals working at the party. One of the reasons we need a donation for the Birthday Run is the expense of the run. The person who manages the run must be paid, the Police Department must be paid and you need a tremendous amount of coverage. Instead of the 5 ` Mile Run, we can have either a one mile walk or run or a combination of the two which would be a lot of fun and maybe more residents will participate. I don't think we need people to get paid to set up tables when volunteers can do it. Obviously, the Highway Department has to be paid as there is a tremendous amount of preparation. I I f 2 October 12, 1993 q 6©i Mr. Berman added that in 1993, the D.J. that we hired had an accident and had amnesia for hours so he has offered his services free of charge for 1994. The cost of using a D.J. rather than a band is less than a third of the cost for a band. In 1993 there were 1,800 people in attendance. If we limit it this party to Rye Brook residents only, the amount will probably decrease in 1994 so we are really going to try and encourage people to attend. Trustee Pellino questioned how many people were on the Birthday Committee last year. Mr. Berman listed about 15 people that were on the Committee last year and thanked them. Trustee Pellino questioned if it was Mr. Berman's opinion that we could get enough volunteers. Mr. Berman stated that he has no doubt that we could get more than enough volunteers. If the Village Employees are needed for certain jobs that cannot be done by volunteers then we need to hire them. We can use volunteers to park cars, set tables and to do the minor clean up. That $2,000.00 could be donated to a non-profit agency. I Trustee Solomon questioned if United Cerebral Palsy could provide us with Volunteers if the money was to be donated to their organization. Mr. Berman stated that United Cerebral Palsy always provided volunteers for past functions. We have not made a decision as to whether or not we will be changing the charity as we do not really know whose decision that is. Also, many of our children have worked at United Cerebral Palsy over the years and the recognition factor may bring more people to the party. Trustee Daly questioned if Mr. Hroncich could review the initial intent of when we started the Birthday Party many years ago. Mr. Hroncich stated that initially, it was his understanding that the Birthday Party had to do with the identity of the Village of Rye Brook and it would be similar to any birthday party where you would invite friends and relatives, which is what we did by inviting our neighbors to the party. It was also intended to be free for everyone attending and that there would be no cost to the taxpayer and for the past ten years, this is what we did. Trustee Daly questioned if it was intended to be a moneymaking function for charities. Mr. Hroncich stated that when we added the race the following year and two years after that we added the charity and decided that the proceeds of the race would go to the charity. Trustee Daly questioned if we eliminated the race would we be able to not charge an j admission. I Mr. Hroncich stated that in listening to Mr. Berman, there would be no reason to donate left over money from Birthday Party funds to a charity. 3 October 12, 1993 cm Trustee Pellino asked Mr. Hroncich and Mr. Josephson if either of them saw any conflict with having the Birthday Committee report to the Village Board rather than the Recreation Commission. Mr. Hroncich stated that when the Birthday event originated, it was Recreation Commissioner Marcia Rogull who took on the task and maintained that for ten years. It was very convenient and worked rather well for that period of time. When Marcia stepped down, there was a change in leadership. At that point with the change and now that further changes are being brought before the Village Board we are at a point where we need the evaluation to determine where we are going with this and how things will take place. Mr. Hroncich stated that he sees no conflict with the Birthday Committee reporting to the Village I Board. Mr. Josephson, Chairperson of the Recreation Commission stated that he has no objections to Mr. Berman and Mr. Brown running the Birthday Party and reporting directly to the Village Board if that is what the Board decides. He further stated that he also has no problem with the Committee reporting to the Recreation Commission. Trustee Daly suggested that a member of the Recreation Commission join the Committee. F Mr. Josephson stated that he was sure that they could come up with a member to serve on the committee. He stated that the issue that he is concerned about is regarding allocation of Mr. Hroncich's resources and he has been running this event with Marcia Rogull for the past ten years. There are certain deadlines and various things that need to be done by certain dates, and with no direct report, it makes it difficult for him to make sure that those deadlines are met in order to run a smooth event. Trustee Zuckerman stated that it is a given that Mr. Hroncich and his staff will basically be at the same burden that they have always been. The question is whether or not the Recreation Commission itself will have a direct role or whether the Birthday Committee will. be an autonomous committee that will work well with Mr. Hroncich and report to the Village Board. Ms. Rogull stated that she was the one originally involved to run the Birthday Party and at that time, she was on the Traffic Commission, not on the Recreation Commission. Her next step was to join the Recreation Commission to involve them. She then began reporting to the Recreation Commission and when we decided to make certain changes, we discussed it. Trustee Zuckerman stated that if there is a Committee running the Birthday Party, it doesn't matter which committee it is called as long as there is a group of people running it and that they have the proper staff to assist them on a day to day basis. Ms. Rogull stated that the Party started out informally as a reflection of the Village of Rye 4 Brook Recreation Commission. The Recreation Commission has a right to be part of this. f4 Mr. Josephson stated that it was a recommendation of Mr. Berman that the Recreation ! Department employees donate their time for this event and if they could not, they would seek volunteers to cut costs. Logistically, I hope they could do this with all volunteers because I am sure the staff would enjoy attending as participants rather than workers. 4 October 12, 1993 064967 Trustee Zuckerman stated that it was his opinion that there should definitely be a member of the Recreation Commission on the Birthday Committee and the Mr. Hroncich be the coordinating staff member for that committee. We should decide whether or not the Birthday Celebration has grown up to such an extent that we want to continue it on a permanent basis and have an Official Board appointed Committee and go from there. As Marcia said, it started out as an informal thing and now it has grown into what it is today. Mr. Hroncich stated that he did attend several of the Birthday Committee meetings and then reported to the Recreation Commission regularly last year. In previous years, we did not have more than one or two meetings prior to the event because it was familiar with the people that were involved. In reporting back to the Commission, what was lost was where was the approval to change this or to add this as opposed to the way it was always done. Who decides these changes. Since Marcia was the chair, the event maintained the same format and the date was always the same. Currently there are significant changes being proposed and when you make a date change there are some considerations to be made. We need to know who makes that decision. Mr. Josephson stated that the Recreation Commission had wanted to do certain things for the j Tenth Birthday and we just want to know who will be making the ultimate decisions. Mr. Berman stated that he wanted to thank some of the volunteers that participated which were the Lions Club and the Rotary Club. On June 30, 1993, we had a wrap up for the 1993 Birthday Party and Mayor Cresenzi was present at that meeting. That is when all these proposed changes were discussed. The things that I spoke about involved changing the date, restructuring it towards the Village of Rye Brook residents, having a raffle, and changing the charity and out of the seven people in attendance, the majority vocally stated that that was the way to go. It was not a format meeting. Then we had a presentation to the Recreation Commission on September 8, 1993 and now we are presenting this to the Village Board. Trustee Solomon questioned if we ever had a year where the Birthday Party did not pay for itself. He also questioned how many years have we been giving money to charities. Mr. Hroncich stated that in 1992 and 1993 it did not pay for itself. Mr. Hroncich stated that we gave to charities since 1985 and in 1992 it was omitted and then returned in 1993. In I 1992 we had an orchestra at the party and we were not in a position to donate any monies to a charity because those funds were needed to offset the cost. Trustee Zuckerman questioned if the Birthday Run alone resulted in a profit in 1992. Mr. Hroncich stated that if we eliminated the Run, we would be in a more positive cash position to give money to a charity. The contribution to the charity comes from the registration fees towards the run, not from the contributions from the corporations and that is what goes to the charity. I Mr. Berman questioned if the Birthday Party actually lost money. jMr. Hroncich stated that it was correct. 5 October 12, 1993 Trustee Zuckerman stated that Mr. Hroncich said that if it wasn't for the run, we would be in a plus cash position. Administrator Russo stated that this is complicated and we will not be able to decipher it tonight. Everyone should be aware of one important administrative tactic here. The contribution made by a major contributor must go through a 5010 corporation. The South East Consortium is the only charitable entity that was willing to funnel the funds through the 5010 and make it available to us. That does not mean that you cannot change the charity, you just have to be able to funnel it through a 5010 until such time that the Village establishes their own. That is an important factor on some of the issues because if we did not have the South East Consortium to flow the money through this past year, we would have had a significant problem. Trustee Solomon questioned how much of a difference was needed for the funding for the Birthday in 1993. Mr. Hroncich stated that as written on the report, it says $202.15. Mr. Brown stated that there is something odd about the accounting. When we were working on this throughout the year, we were never told that if there were positive proceeds from the race including the cost to enter the race and negative proceeds from the subtotal from the Birthday Celebration, we would take the positive proceeds from the Race and then the Village would still have to make up the difference. As a matter of fact, we were told that if for some reason the entire event did not make money including the entry for the race, there would be no contribution to a charity at all. This is the first time that we are hearing that a $202.15 contribution had to be made from the Village. 'I Mr. Hroncich questioned if Mr. Berman or Mr. Brown received the Financial Report four months ago. Mr. Berman stated that he did receive the financial report but he thought that this was one j entity, he did not realize that the two events were separate. I thought that if one operated at a loss and the other operated at a profit that they would offset each other stated Mr. Berman. Marcia Rogull stated that they started as two separate events because the first year we did not have a run. The sponsors give separately to both. Mr. Hroncich added that it has changed over the years. For example, we used funds donated by General Foods which were primarily for the run, for the celebration also and it worked out well as that contribution carried both events. Mr. Berman questioned why we gave $1,500.00 to South East Consortium when we should have given them $1,300.00. It is not fair to the residents. i Mr. Hroncich stated that there was a commitment made to the Charity that they would j receive the Run proceeds. w I I E 6 October 12, 1993 Mr. Brown questioned how could you define specifically what your expenses and your revenue were when you just said that General Foods, for example gave $6,500.00, some of which you assigned to the Run and some of which you assigned to the Birthday? Mr. Hroncich stated that he said that about General Foods, but the money from Philip Morris was given directly to South East Consortium as a 5010 and it came back to the Village to pay all of the bills. Administrator Russo stated that the money is combined. Mr. Berman stated that if the money is combined, why weren't the proceeds from the p Birthday Run used to pay the $202.15 deficit? Administrator Russo stated that we donated the registration proceeds to South East Consortium. Mr. Berman questioned if that was taken into consideration with the expenses. I Administrator Russo stated that some of these donations are contingent upon a contribution. Trustee Solomon questioned if the money paid for staffing and Police overtime came out of the Birthday proceeds or the Run proceeds. Mr. Hroncich stated that it came out of all of the donations listed in the report that was distributed to the Board. Trustee Daly stated that we made a commitment to South East Consortium that they would help us out with the 501C3 and that we would give the proceeds from the Birthday Run to them. Mayor Cresenzi stated that we must get back to the agenda for this meeting which is the direction and Mr. Berman stated that the Birthday should be under the direction of the Village Board. Mayor Cresenzi thanked all those who worked on the Committee for doing a fine job and added that he would like all those committee members to continue in that capacity and also for Mr. Hroncich to stay involved and to add two Recreation Commission members to the Birthday Committee. It would be my recommendation to have the two chairpersons, Ken Berman and Ken Brown to remain as chairpersons for the next year as they did a great job. Trustee Zuckerman suggested that we appoint this committee by Resolution. Trustee Pellino agreed and added that we develop a formal charge like we do for our other committees and have them give periodic updates to the Village Board as to the progress that is being made. Mr. Hroncich questioned if the Village Board would be responsible for making approvals for policy changes. 7 October 12, 1993 s� f69 Mr. Berman suggested that in a few months we report to the Village Board on what our scenario will be for the 1994 Birthday Party. Mayor Cresenzi stated that we will appoint the Birthday Committee at the next meeting. Mr. Berman stated that we will come back thirty days after the appointments are made and provide the Village Board with a written outline. Richard Buzin, a member of the Recreation Commission questioned how much time the Recreation staff will need to put into the Committee opposed to spending time on Recreation programs. He added that he is concerned with how much time the staff will need to be donated to the Birthday Party. Mayor Cresenzi stated that the staff is really needed for the Birthday Party for mailings, 4 letters to go out and so on. In the past, I did not see any visual impact but that does not 4 mean that no programs suffered. This is a very valid question and we will deal with this at a later date. Mr. Josephson stated that the comment made by Mr. Berman that only one person knew the function of the South East Consortium was inaccurate. Every member of the Recreation Commission is well aware of the activity of the South East Consortium. PUBLIC HEARINGS 2. PROPOSED INTRODUCTORY LOCAL LAW #6-1993 ENTITLED: INTERIM DEVELOPMENT LAW OF THE VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK FOR THE HAWTHORNE AVENUE AREA Mayor Cresenzi adjourned the Public Hearing at 7:45 p.m. Trustee Zuckerman questioned what Mr. Gissen meant by his comment in his memo that the area possesses a special character. Mr. Gissen stated that the area is unique in the Southern portion of the Village. You have large lot development and houses that appear to be more architecturally interesting and is somewhat different than most of the lower portion of the Village and may be worth preserving. Mr. Peter Murray stated that he is in opposition to the Moratorium and rezoning of this property. It is abundantly clear that this act is attended for my property at 6 Hawthorne Avenue. The application process commenced four to five years ago and there was no other development application before this Board therefore the clear intent of this Board's action is f to curtail my development rights that I have on this property and for those reasons we protest f� all action regarding the moratorium law.

REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING BOARD FRAN MAR CINEMA INC./RYE RIDGE SHOPPING CENTER CO. RYE RIDGE SHOPPING CENTER SECTION 19 BLOCK 229 LOT 3 SITE PLAN AMENDMENT Mayor Cresenzi questioned if this application is complete. Mr. Circosta stated that in regard to site plan issues, the Village Code states that what we G can accept this as is a sketch plan. It is no where near a preliminary site plan which gets developed through the Planning stages. The Code allows the Planning Board to review sketch plans with the applicant. There is enough information to refer this to the Planning Board as a sketch plan. Trustee Daly stated that the Planning Board has so many applications to review and if this is f something that is going to come before the Village Board and the consensus is that it is not I complete, then why do we have to send it there? Trustee Pellino questioned when the clock starts running on this. Mr. Gissen stated that there are two stages in which you can refer an application. You can 4 refer a sketch plan or you can refer a preliminary site plan. For a preliminary site plan, the If clock starts running when it is received, not even when you refer it. On the other hand, you are allowed to refer a sketch plan, which this application meets the requirements of. We can refer it to the Planning Board for development with the applicant and the Planning Board develops it into the full requirements of a preliminary site plan, however, during that time if your have not received a full preliminary site plan, the clock would not start running and that allows the Planning Board the room to develop this more fully without being under time constraints. Trustee Zuckerman questioned what this application needs to become a preliminary site plan. Mr. Gissen explained that there is a checklist of 22 items, some of which don't apply and some of which presumably they would supply by providing you with an existing plan of the site which has not been done to date. This is a good time to refer it because the Planning Board is able to work with this at the sketch plan stage and gives them the opportunity to have input into it. Trustee Zuckerman suggested that we amend the resolution to read that it is a sketch plan. C I r 16 October 12, 1993 r i ry 9 On Motion made by Trustee Zuckerman, seconded by Trustee Pellino, the following resolution was hereby adopted: RESOLUTION FRAN MAR CINEMA INC./ RYE RIDGE SHOPPING CENTER CO. RYE RIDGE SHOPPING CENTER l SECTION 19 BLOCK 22, LOT 3 REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING BOARD SKETCH PLAN AMENDMENT WHEREAS, the Village of Rye Brook Board of Trustees has received a sketch plan application from Fran Mar Cinema Inc., 10 Mitchell Place, White Plains, NY for a site plan amendment at their property known as Rye Ridge Plaza, Rye Brook, NY and known on the Official Tax Maps of the Village of Rye Brook as Section 1, Block 22, Lot 3; WHEREAS, the property owner in this matter is Rye Ridge Shopping Center Co. and such sketch plan application is for an addition to the existing Rye Ridge Theater.

REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING BOARD MERRITT & HOLBY INC. 200 SOUTH RIDGE STREET SECTION 1, BLOCK 23, LOTS IA-2B, 3 & 4 DOCTOR'S OFFICE I Trustee Pellino stated that this site plan is not at all a complete site plan. We received a xerox copy of a drawing and I don't think this constitutes a site plan amendment in any way. jTrustee Zuckerman stated that there is no signature on the application and this does not even f constitute a sketch plan as the application is incomplete. 17 October 12, 1993 1.0 419 79 Charles Goldberger from the law firm McCullough, Goldberger & Staudt was here on behalf of Merritt and Holby and stated that this was submitted along with a letter dated October 6, 1993. When this structure was being built there was a site plan resolution, for whatever reason that indicated that if any space that was utilized in that building as storage was going to be utilized for any other purpose it must come before the Village Board even though this space was approved at one point. That not withstanding I think if you take cognisance of what Mr. Staudt indicated in his letter which is tenants are not easy to find, this is a doctor who wants to utilize this space and we need to move this along to the Planning Board stage because of loss of the tenant and we would respectfully urge that we have been given the opportunity to remedy any potential defects that arise at such time that it comes before the Planning Board with any other conditions that are reasonably imposed by this Board. Trustee Daly questioned if the rest of that building is filled with tenants and if the other professional building is currently filled to capacity. Mr. Goldberger stated that he believed that the Professional Building is fully occupied but he did not know about the new building. Trustee Pellino stated with all due respect to Mr. Staudt and the applicant, that our first responsibility is to submit a plan to the Planning Board that is complete, professional and meets our standards for referrals and my way of thinking is that the fact that a tenant is j waiting is not a concern of this Board, but rather that the proper procedures be followed. I Mr. Goldberger stated that he has a copy of what was submitted to the Board which does indicate where the space is located, the size and where various facilities are. He questioned if an architectural initial on this is required to make it recommendable. Mayor Cresenzi stated that he did not know what the floor area is in relationship to that area on that lower level or where the parking for this was going to be. Mr. Goldberger stated that time is somewhat of the essence with this particular tenant which we would not like to lose. He added that he would have the sketch plan as it is completed with all of those indications at such time as it comes before the Planning Board. Trustee Daly stated that there is no guarantee as this could eventually come back to the Village Board and get disapproved so the tenant is not of primary concern here. Mayor Cresenzi stated that in the past, we were forced in good faith to expedite various things and the property laid vacant and a nuisance to the neighbors for eight or nine months so now we would like to see a complete application before we refer it to the Planning Board. Mr. Goldberger suggested that before the Planning Board will undertake to review this matter should the Board decide, one of the conditions for its consideration would be an application in suitable form such as indicated by the Board, if it is not suitable, the Planning Board can just not consider it. This is part of a process that exists in this community and we respectfully request that it move forward at this time. 18 f October 12, 1993 11 t180 On Motion made by Trustee Zuckerman, seconded by Trustee Solomon the following Resolution was hereby disapproved: REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING BOARD MERRITT & HOLBY INC. 200 SOUTH RIDGE STREET SECTION 1, BLOCK 239 LOTS IA-2B, 3 & 4 DOCTOR'S OFFICE WHEREAS, the Village of Rye Brook Board of Trustees has received an application from I Merritt & Holby Associates, 200 South Ridge Street, Rye Brook, NY for a site plan amendment at their property known as 200 South Ridge Street, Rye Brook, NY and known on the Official Tax Maps of the Village of Rye Brook as Section 1, Block 23, Lots IA-2B, 3 & 4; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village of Rye Brook Board of Trustees hereby refers this application to the Planning Board on the 12th day of October, 1993 for its review and recommendation; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that the applicant be required to contribute the sum of $1,000.00 to the Environment Impact Account for planning and other consultant reviews, and should additional funds be required the applicant shall contribute further to the Environmental Impact Account.

JANE STEINBERG k; BLIND BROOK/RIDGE STREET PTA RE: REQUEST FOR SIGNAGE SOUTH RIDGE STREET/BOWMAN AVENUE 20 y ` October 12, 1993 Mayor Cresenzi questioned if any members of the Board had a problem with this request and all Board members agreed to grVt the request. Administrator Russo reported that we must speak to the Ambulance Corp about removing their sign which has been theri for a very long time. Trustee Pellino stated that Community Bulletin Boards were discussed at the Zoning Code Update Committee level and in concept they are a good idea and I am willing to try it in one location but we are concerned about vandalism. Administrator Russo agreed but stated that it depends on where they are installed. The sign in front of the shopping center has never been vandalized. DISCUSSION f 16. RYE HILLS PARK ENCROACHMENT Administrator Russo stated that he met with three of the four residents with encroachments and one of the first things that came up was whether or not the Board wanted to consider selling the encroachments to the residents even though it would take two acts of State Legislature and even if they consider it we would have to have good reason for it. None of the residents have given me any negative feedback with removing their encroachments from the Village property. The only feedback is that the area be screened with a natural buffer as opposed to-being fenced off from the rest of the park. Trustee Pellino stated that the parcel of land which is now known as Rye Hills Park was part of a parcel that was donated by the Rye Town Hilton over twenty years ago. Through all of the discussion that took place twenty years ago was that the Rye Town Board had agreed to put in a natural buffer between the property lines of the Bell Place property owner and the park a buffer of approximately 40 to 50 feet. The reason that was agreed upon was because that was sort of an equalization of the property boundaries that go along Wilton Road which are basically 50 feet deeper in their rear yards than the Bell Place property. Trustee Pellino added that in order to create a spirit of fairness, at the time it was felt that a buffer area of 40 to 50 feet of natural buffer would be established between the park and the Bell Place property owners. The Wilton Road property owners got together and formed a consensus that a fence would be erected on the back of their properties in order to deter people from using their yards as an easy access to Rye Hills Park because Crawford Park access didn't exist at that time. The buffer area was never officially installed by the Rye Town Board in the early 1970's. At this time, with the encroachments that have evolved over the twenty years it is fair to create the buffer zone that was originally agreed to twenty years ago and that is the best resolution and certainly not the acquisition of the land by the property owner. I r Mayor Cresenzi stated that if the encroachments were removed, could we consider having Frank Errigo continue to maintain the area beneath the trees and just leave that as its natural buffer rather than spending money on plantings. Trustee Pellino stated that if it is okay with the residents, he would agree to that. He also stated that depending upon the outcome of the Grant that we recently applied for, maybe we could use some of that money towards that. 21 October 12, 1993 004k;'83 83 Administrator Russo stated that if we pursue the Rye Hills Report on developing the park and install the Playground we may have a problem of being too close to some of the rearyard properties and we may need a barrier because for example, one of the residents has a pool. He questioned if the Board agreed that all encroachments must be removed by the Spring. Mayor Cresenzi and the Board agreed to a date of April 15, 1994. i G Trustee Zuckerman stated that the residents should let us know in writing if they have any problems with removing the encroachments. Administrator Russo stated that he would contact the property owners. Trustee Solomon questioned if we could allow the homeowner who has the swimming pool to keep it if it becomes difficult to remove it. Mayor Cresenzi stated that he did not think the swimming pool is on Village property and the resident can apply for a variance if necessary. ` Trustee Pellino questioned if we could consider contacting the committee that did the park study to meet with us at one of our work sessions either in November or December to begin reviewing the results of that study and come to a conclusion as to what we want to do with that park. Administrator Russo suggested that we review the report and go forward with that. Mayor Cresenzi stated that in reference to parking, perhaps we could work out something with the Town for parking in front of the mansion at Crawford so there are some things we can discuss once we get into the planning phase. The Board agreed to hold a worksession with the Rye Hills Park Committee on November 16, 1993 at 7:30 p.m. at the Village Office. Mayor Cresenzi stated that in August, the Town was undergoing an audit and as a Rye Town Park Commissioner, I received a letter from the State to prepare a statement regarding disclosure of business and if I did any business with Rye Town or Rye Town Park as a Commissioner and I responded to that negatively. I then checked our Code of Ethics and all Trustees must file a disclosure with the Village Clerk every six months by writing a letter. We must all do this and be in compliance with our law by Wednesday, November 3, 1993. Trustee Zuckerman stated that the Village Attorney draft a form to be in compliance with the law and that periodically, the Village Clerk pass such form out to the members of the Village Board. Mayor Cresenzi stated that we could do that, but for now each Trustee must write their own letter in order to be in compliance by next Wednesday. Mayor Cresenzi added that we must decide if we are interested in the IDA Funding and the payment that we had discussed in the past which is still on the table. The County must have an answer tomorrow. 22 October 12, 1993 004984 Trustee Solomon questioned if this is our last chance to get anything from the County. Mayor Cresenzi stated that to the best of his knowledge, the only thing on the table is money. The County Board removed the leverage that we had in negotiation and what they are offering us now is the same contribution, which is $40,000.00 a year for thirty years and' it is a take it or leave it situation. Trustee Solomon stated that we should take the money. Mayor Cresenzi agreed. Trustee Zuckerman stated that we were stabbed in the back by some of the County Legislators who saw fit to go back on their word and allow the construction to go ahead without getting a stipulation. He added that we should take the money because the garage is going to be built with a certain number of spaces anyway. Trustee Pellino agreed that we take the money also and added that it is very unfortunate that we can't rely on the officials who guide this County to keep their word to us. He stated that he is very disappointed in the County Board and the County Board Chairman. Trustee Solomon stated that he was the lone protestor at the groundbreaking at the Airport and Andrew O'Rourke and several other members of the County Legislature stated publicly that negotiations on the stipulation are going forward and it could be completed within six months. We need to get more information in order to get a handle on what is going on. Mayor Cresenzi stated that we are trying to set up a meeting with the FAA to find out first hand what is going on. When that meeting happens, I will report back to the Board the outcome of that meeting. Trustee Pellino suggested that we schedule a public hearing on the proposed Commercial Vehicle section of the Code and call for a public hearing at the next meeting that the public hearing be held on November 23, 1993 at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Gissen stated that as mentioned at the last meeting, he has with him copies of masterplans from the Town of Fishkill and the Town of New Castle. ADA)UR_NMENT Mayor Cresenzi adjourned the meeting at 8:55 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Elizabeth Bottali Secretary to the Village Board 23
