Mayor Cresenzi announced that before opening the Public Hearing
section of the meeting, they would adopt the Youth Council Charter
Resolution. The Mayor introduced Nancy Tunis, who is the Chairperson
of the Youth Council and thanked her for attending.
On Motion made by Trustee Daly, seconded by Trustee Filipowski, with

RESOLUTION
YOUTH COUNCIL CONSTITUTION
RESOLVED, that the constitution of the Rye Brook Youth Council,
dated October 23, 1990 be hereby approved and adopted by the Village
Board of Trustees.
Nancy Tunis stated that they were very excited, because they have
several programs to share between the two districts in Port Chester.
Also the Council is working very closely with the Youth Officer and
both school districts and they are looking forward to great year.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that it was a first step in the process of
bridging district four and five and it will give new meaning to the
Village, Youth Officer, schools and parents working together.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. ST. PAULS LUTHERAN CHURCH (CONTINUED)
COMLY AVENUE/KING STREET
APPROVAL OF SUB-DIVISION
Mayor Cresenzi reconvened the Public Hearing at 6:03 p.m.
John Colangelo stated that, at the last meeting, it was suggested
that he meet with the Village Attorney, which he did, to discuss some
of the issues that were brought up at that last meeting. They
resolved most of the questions that were raised.

001.738,
October 23, 1990
One question was the existence of a possible deed restriction or
easement affecting the east of the premises. When the property was
sold off to the adjacent owner, there was discussion of granting
access to the rear in the event that the owner of this parcel
developed the three lots, which are now in existence and known as
Castleview Court. When those agreements were finalized, the easement
was not included in the final draft of the agreements. The easement
never existed, it was just a negotiated item between these two
parties when the property was sold off by the Lutheran Church at that
time. Mr. Colangelo stated that another issue discussed at the last
meeting involved obtaining permission from the State D.O.T. to use
King Street as an access if and when the properties were developed.
A letter has been sent to the D.O.T. and a response is being
awaited.
Mr. Colangelo stated that they are just creating a sub-division, they
are not requesting permission to build on the lots. This a legal
sub-division which requires no variances. All code requirements were
met and they will do their best to keep utilization at a minimum
through Castleview. Castleview is a public street and there are
restrictions as to the type of equipment that can be permitted on
public streets.
Trustee Daly questioned if permission is not granted from the D.O.T.
is it possible for the construction equipment to enter through the
Church parking lot.
Mr. Colangelo replied that it is possible to use it for construction
purposes, storage space or a transit area. it is not built to carry
heavy equipment on a regular basis, but four lots being built would
not entail a great deal of excavation involving heavy equipment.
This is relatively flat land and it will not necessitate a lot of
heavy equipment.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that he received a letter from the three
residents of Castleview Court on October 22, 1990 and included it in
the record of the Public Hearing.
Mr. Colangelo stated that in regard to Mr. Berger not receiving
notification of the meeting, he checked with the Town Assessors
Office from whom we get the list. Mr. Berger purchased his home in
June. The Tax Office and the Assessors office did not receive
notification of the sale and the transfer of the lot until
September. The list was already obtained by that time and whenever
a deed is filed with the Westchester County Clerk's Office, it takes
approximately 30 to 60 days for the Town Assessor to be notified.
The list they had was as current as possible.

October 23, 1990
Trustee Filipowski questioned if this property had access from King
Street, would they still be able to get four building lots there on
this parcel? Having to reverse the cul-de-sac, would that change
from four lots to three lots, or is it just a mirror reversal of what
is already proposed.
Mr. Wiedle stated that by accessing from King Street into the
property, we would still be able to get four lots, but it would
create a dangerous intersection.
Mr. Mastromanaco added that the lots would be odd shaped by doing it
this way. The lots would be on an angle and not as marketable.
Mr. Morrow of 5 Castleview Court stated that he spoke to the D.O.T.
and one way people acquire approval for streets coming on or off of
state highways would be to meet certain criteria. According to what
he has heard this evening, one of the major objections of creating a
safe intersection was that of the lining of the streets.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that Mr. Wiedle already stated that from a
planning point of view the proposed sub-division that they currently
have is the best one. The Planning Board also stated the same.
Mayor Cresenzi questioned why the residents of Castleview Court were
so against the sub-division.
Mr. Morrow stated that when he purchased his home, he was moving into
an area where there were only three homes. He was relieved that they
would be living in a very small area with little construction going
on. Nov; with the addition of four more houses, seven in total, there
will be more construction and it will disrupt the lives of the three
residents of Castleview Court. If we cannot get permission to come
off of King Street, an alternate route should be explored. Mr.
Morrow stressed that the demands that he and the other residents have
stated in a letter to the Board should be met.
Steven Berger, of 3 Castleview Court stated that he agreed with Mr.
Morrow and added that drainage was another problem brought up at the
last meeting. The services that they currently have are not
acceptable, and the area is flooded from heavy rain. They have taken
polaroid pictures of the flooded yards. Mr. Berger stated that
before this project is accepted we need to be assured that we are not
going to suffer damage to our property because of this sub-division.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that had the plan been to create a through road
from King Street out to Comly Avenue and do away with the dead end
cul-de-sac concept, he would understand outrage on the residents
part. What is proposed is is an extension of the same dead end
cul-de-sac with four additional single family homes..

October 23, 1990
Chris DePasquale, advisor to Tony Valentino of Castleview Court,
stated that the another option was to turn the site around and show
what the lots would look like coming off King Street. They have
considered going to an architect to be certain that there won't be
any sort of a problem in relation to water and drainage.
Also, the bushes that were supposed to be put up by the Church to
block out the parking lot were never put up. One of the pictures
taken shows a well with a wood cover which is very dangerous. This
shows a lack of focus on the Church's part in following through. Now
we are being asked to approve a site of other houses were there is
going to be environmental change and potential flooding. These
people may suffer loss of their water supply. Currently they have
pumps to raise the pressure so they may take reasonable showers and
so forth.
Dr. Guarisco, of the church addressed Mr. DiPasquale's statement. He
explained that they had a berm and trees planted, not to hide
anything but to keep the lights from shining out onto the neighbors
in the background on the street behind the Church. When the lights
were put up, they shown down and the neighbors stated that we did
not even need the berm. Also, the well, which has been there for a
number of years, was there when we purchased the property and is now
filled in. Even though there is wood on top, it has been completely
filled in.
Mr. Colangelo stated that there was extensive Hydrology and Drainage
reports which were submitted to the Village Consultant. All of the
necessary procedures were followed.
Mr. Mastromanaco stated that the way this property is sloped the
water runs down to catch basins on King Street. They have collected
that water in a large underground storm water retainer system. This
is to reduce the existing flow. There is no storm water connection
from one development to the other. Any clogged pipes, or anything
else, could not cause any type of impact on the homes on Castleview
Court for the elevation is so different. If there was any flooding,
it would take place on King Street. This report was completed and
sent January 30, 1990. It involves the 100 year storm, and is a very
similar system to what was designed for Castleview Court. It is also
very similar to the Larizza development, which is a large underground
retention system. As for water supply and storm water, the N.Y.
American Water Company does have low pressures in the lines out
there. Any house connected to that line in that area will have that
problem. If acceptable to the N.Y. American Water Company, we may be
able to find a water main down in this area to connect to which will
improve the pressures in the other line. If studies show that it
won't improve it then there is no need to do that.

October 23, 1990
Mr. Wiedle added that he also inspected the site and agreed with Mr.
Mastromanaco. Currently the grade above sea level is about 99 feet
on the edge of the cul-de-sac. When the road is built it will slope
slightly downward towards King Street the way it is now. The area
that is said to have stagnant water does not exist. The water flows
onto the property, stays there for a while and then drains into the
ground. Depending on the time of year, it may stay there longer than
other times. The water will be carried out into the drainage
system.
Chris DePasquale inquired where this study came from.
Ralph Mastromanaco explained that he produced the study and being a
licensed engineer he does these studies in conjunction with different
projects. These studies are circulated to the Village Engineer and
the Planning Board to review. It is public record and can be
obtained at the Village Office.
Steven Berger stated that he was not aware that there was a Drainage
Study on file until now, if he had known earlier he may have been
better informed on the drainage issue.
Attorney Beane stated that drainage is a big issue and is repeatedly
addressed by the Board in relation to proposed sub-divisions and
site-plans. All the Planning Board documents and studies are public
record and are available for anyone to review in the Village Office.
Ken Heller, a resident questioned the retention capacity of the
pipes.
Mr. Mastromanaco replied that the volume is 4,668 cubic feet or
35,000 gallons and equivalent to a 100 year storm. This is surface
water which comes through the catch basins on the site. There are
three or four of them which the Village is responsible to maintain.
The flow is 16.49 cubic feet per second which is also 100 gallons.
Mr. Heller also questioned the trees on the site and if they were
going to be saved.
Mr. Wiedle explained that before the sub-division approval is
granted, a resolution must be prepared, and in that resolution is the
matter of the preservation of the existing trees, as well as drainage
and all other aspects of this sub-division.
Mr. Berger stated that there are two large fir trees there and
questioned whether they will be removed?

October 23, 1990
Tony Valentino of Castleview Court, approached the Board with
pictures of a home at 731 King Street. The backyard is constantly
flooded. There is almost 2 inches of water just sitting on the
ground. He also showed the Board pictures of the two fir trees Mr.
Berger was referring to, which are about 60 feet high.
Mr. Colangelo stated that they are here for a four lot sub-division.
These complaints are the same complaints that all neighbors have when
a new sub-division arises next to them. The idea of vacant land
being developed and having their lifestyle disrupted for a period of
time are routines routinely expressed. They request that the Board
will vote favorably on this proposal this evening.
Mr. Morrow stated that they did not object to the houses being built,
just the manner in which they are going to be built. He added that
the Planning Board voted 4 to 2 on this referral.
Mayor Cresenzi explained that the Planning Board is only an advisory
board to the Village Board. If the planning Board denies any
project, the application may still be referred.
Mr. Berger questioned what kind of controls the Village has on the
construction process and if the proposed developer is investigated.
Attorney Beane replied that there are several levels of control.
Every sub-division resolution, that has been written in the past two
years, has a time limit in it. The Church cannot sit by for twenty
years and then decide to build. There is a short period of time
before the sub-division lapses. There will be a bond posted for the
infa-structure, which includes sewers, roadways, etc. That bond will
be computed by the Village Director of Public Works to pay for the
total construction in the event the developer does not complete it.
In addition, the Department of Public Works supervises every aspect
of the construction, and the resolution specifically states that if
during construction, if problems arise, he has the authority to
alleviate whatever the condition may be. The Westchester Soil
Management Manual deals with the control of surface water during
construction. The procedures involve going before the Board of
Architectural Review to get specific plans for each home approved.
No Certificates of Occupancy shall be issued unless everything is
constructed in accordance with the plan. Attorney Beane stated that
there are other resolutions on file that are very detailed if anyone
would wish to take a look at them. They included all of the concerns
that the Board feels important. Once the resolution is drafted,
anyone is entitled to a copy.
Mr. DePasquale questioned whether or not the Board would take into
consideration the items stated in the letter sent to them.

October 23, 1990
Trustee Filipowski explained that he read the letter and it was well
written. Based on the recommendations they have had, this is the
best project for this parcel. Be stated that he would like to know
if they can limit the access during construction to either King
j Street or the Church property. If the rest of the Church property is
ever to be sold in it's entirety, then these lots have the
restriction that the cul-de-sac can be squared off at some point in
time. We should make sure that it does not happen where more
homeowners think they are buying property on a dead end cul-de-sac.
Attorney Beane stated that with respect to the issue of the
cul-de-sac being squared off, that can be put in the resolution. As
to whether or not the Board could restrict partial additional
sub-division we are not sure.
Mr. Wiedle stated that the Church is a permitted use in that zoning
district and as such it should have a certain minimum. In regard to
the loping off of the parking lot, the interloping is finished.
Mr. DiPasquale questioned the Drainage and water pressure issue.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that they can work with the water company, and
suggest that the system be looped. It must be checked to see that
looping it will benefit the whole site. The Water Company is a
private entity and we have no control over them.
Mr. Morrow stated that one item they did not include in the letter
but did not was a possible proposal to link the two cul-de-sacs with
a walkway.
Mayor Cresenzi replied that it hasn't been proven that the four homes
are going to Beverly impact the residents of Castleview with traffic.
Four homes is not very large and will not greatly impact the traffic
situation.
Mr. Wiedle`stated that it is important to recognize that the job of
the Planning Board and the Village Board is toboth protect the
citizens who are living in the Village now, in addition to reside in
this Village in the future.
Mr. Valentino stated that the houses to be created will have their
backyards facing King Street.
Mr. Wiedle replied that those houses can be located any way they wish
as long as they are built with the required setbacks. There will be
planting and screening along King Street to block the houses from
King Street.
Mr. Colangelo requested that the Board vote on this proposal, as
there has not been any new questions.
Ken Heller stated that if there is a Nursery school there, it will be
a problem using the parking lot as an access.

October 23, 1990
j - Mr. Morrow stated that if the Church were ever to leave, and the
property became vacant, and there was a road leading into a
cul-de-sac, it could easily branch out and come a different way.
Presently, if they decided to develop the houses, you would have to
extend the cul-de-sac and most likely they would end up coming off of
King Street at one particular point.
Attorney Beane stated that they would use Comly Avenue and not King
Street. Mr. Morrow pointed out that in the future, both Church's may
sell their property so provisions should be made to safeguard against
something happening in the future.
Mr. Berger questioned whether a restriction could be put in the deeds
so that it doesn't come through King Street?
Mayor Cresenzi stated that the Board's responsibility is to control
development, and minimize the impact on not only the neighbors who
are currently living there but also the future neighbors. It also is
the responsibility of the Village to enforce the Zoning laws of the
Village. The owner or developer of the property has certain legal
rights to use his land providing it meets the requirements of the
community, lot size, road size, etc. This parcel of land, as it is
proposed, now meets all of the requirements. It is not this Board's
job to prevent development.
Mr. DePasquale stated that more work should be done in reference to
looking at coming off of King Street rather than Castleview.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that he would like to call for a vote on the
Sub-division as it is proposed, with the approval Resolution
detailing all the restrictions to be voted on at the next month's
meeting. This resolution will be available on the Friday afternoon
before the meeting.
Randy Solomon of 65 Valley Terrace pointed out that the residents of
Castleview`Court are new residents and perhaps they should have been
sent a letter stating that the drainage report was here to look at.
Also it seems that in regard to the construction process, the
residents give and the developers take. It seems that you are not
giving the residents answers but are skirting the issues. They all
have small children, and also there is the nursery school at St.
Paul's to take into consideration. The large construction vehicles
will be coming in and out of the parking lot while school is going
on. As far as the flooding, there are people on Magnolia, on the top
of the hill who have had close to a foot of water in their basement
so the report may be wrong. Maybe we can, despite the Planning Board
and the Village Engineer, go through King Street and give the
residents in the area some grain of salt to help them with their
problem.

October 23, 1990
Mayor Cresenzi replied that he disagreed with much of what Mr.
Solomon said. First, the Board has given everyone a chance to voice
their opinions and has been fair and has listened to each person.
Also the developers do not take. Every issue has been addressed and
the Board has not skirted anything. The recommendation of the
planning board and the professional planning of the Village is that
the proposed project is the best for the Village of Rye Brook.
Therefore, on Motion made by Trustee Filipowski, seconded by Trustee
Ravich, with a unanimous vote of the Board, the St. Paul's Lutheran
Church Sub-division was approved as proposed with the approval
resolution to be read at the November 27, 1990 meeting.
The Public Hearing was adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
2. LARIZZA/CAPOCCI
COMLY AVENUE/KING STREET
APPROVAL OF SUBDIVISION
Mayor Cresenzi reconvened the Public Hearing at 7:35.
John Colangelo stated that they were appearing before the Board for
approval of a sub-division and gave a brief history of the project.
They started out in the middle of 1988 negotiating with the owners of
these two parcels. They had problems from the start for they were
dealing with two municipalities having different regulations. One of
the problems that they had with the Planning Board of both
municipalities was lot #10. The problem with this lot is that it is
dissected to a large degree by the boundary line between the two
Villages. The other lots were cut by the boundary line but were not
as severly affected as lot #10.
The Rye Brook Planning Board stated that this lot did not meet the
Rye Brook restrictions. It is an R15 Zone in Rye Brook and an R7 in
Port Chester. Port Chester Planning Board found it to be a legal
lot. Since there were problems with lot 10, it was pulled off the
table and they went forward with the rest of the sub-division,
knowing that the mortgaging bank and the sellers of the land had to
be satisfied. They eventually closed on the property six months
later than anticipated because of problems with the bank and the
sellers. Now they have come back before the Boards to staighten lot
10 out. They appeared before the Port Chester Planning, Zoning and
Village Boards first, as the larger portion of the parcel is in the
Village of Port Chester.
- 10 -

October 23, 1990
-- They obtained the necessary approvals from Port Chester for this odd
shaped lot known on the map as 10B. They then appeared before the
Planning and Zoning Boards in the Village of Rye Brook for approval
to include this piece as part of the whole lot creating a lot which
does fit into the sub-division. What they are proposing is a
consistent type of sub-division where a lot is dissected by the
municipal boundary line. Code 66-61A deals with a similar problem if
the lot is dissected by two districts and allows the lesser
restrictive requirements to extend 30 feet into the zone. It doesn't
deal with the problem when you have municipal boundary line which
cuts through a lot. The courts have tried to deal with this problem
and they have agreed that if your code stated that there are two
different zoning districts on each side, and allows 30 feet from the
line, you should allow it to extend if the municipal boundary line
dissects it.
Mr. Colangelo stated that lot 10, even though the boundary line cuts
through, is a very well planned and symmetrical sub-division. The
lot is a legal sized lot in Port Chester, but not in the Village of
Rye Brook. A great deal of information has been covered in a short
period of time and this sub-division has been pending for two years.
Trustee Smith questioned the triangular piece in Rye Brook and if it
was still a part of Mr. Loizzo's lot 10.
Mr. Colangelo replied that it was and that they have a contractual
agreement with Mr. Loizzo subject to the approval process. His
property will be sub-divided into two parts.
Mayor Cresenzi questioned, in regard to lot 9, which is totally in
the Village of Port Chester, how many square feet it was.
Mr. Colangelo replied that it was 8,010 square feet.
Mayor Cresenzi also questioned if approval is granted what would the
proposed ldt 10 be.
Mr. Colangelo stated that it would be approximately 8,000 square
feet, which would be enough. Lots 10 through lot 7 would be all
about the same size.
Trustee Filipowski questioned how many square feet were in the
sub-division when the approval was given from Port Chester for
building on lot 10.
Mr. Colangelo stated that lot 10 B was 5,400 square feet. They
obtained a variance at both the Port Chester and Rye Brook Zoning
Board of Appeals.
Mr. Wiedle stated that he felt that this project was very well
planned.

On Motion made by Trustee Ravich, seconded by Trustee Smith, with a
unanimous vote of the Board, the approval of sub-division was granted
with the understanding that the approval resolution would be ready
for the November 27, 1990 meeting.
On motion duly made and seconded, the Public Hearing was adjourned at
8:35 p.m.

Mayor Cresenzi stated that the Agenda meeting of November 13, 1990
will be at 6:00 p.m. rather than 8:00 p.m. The Regular Board meeting
on November 27, 1990 will be at 8:00 p.m.
Ken Heller stated that a resolution was passed a while ago that the
attendance of the members of the various Boards of the Village of Rye
Brook must be 80 This should be enforced as attendance is much
lower than this.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that the Planning and Zoning Board members must
attend 9 out of the 12 meetings. This matter will be looked into.
Jean Reed, of Winthrop Drive, stated that there seems to be a
commercial establishment that exists at 15 Winthrop Drive that
continues to grow. It is becoming a public hazard and is in
violation of the local code. Can some action be taken? Every
morning the vehicles arrive at the location, leave their vehicles on
the street, transfer their tools to the commercial vehicles and
proceed to their jobs. The license plates are commercial and why the
Police have not noticed is beyond me, stated Reed. We cannot let
people step over the rules.
Administrator Russo stated that it has been investigated and a notice
of violation has been issued today to the individual based on an
effort between the Police Department and the Building Department. We
understand that it is an electrical business.
ADJOURNMENT
On Motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was adjourned at 9:10
