PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. LOCAL LAW #3 - 1990 (CONTINUED)
"ABANDONED VEHICLES"
Mayor Cresenzi called the Public Hearing to order at 8:05 p.m.
and recommended to the Board that the proposed Local Law #3 -
1990 entitled: "Abandoned Vehicles" be withdrawn, explaining
that the substance of the law dealt with abandoned vehicles on
private property which is already addressed in the Property
Maintenance section of the Village Code. Another law addressing
similar issues would be redundant and may cause further
confusion.
on Motion made by Trustee Filipowski, seconded by Trustee Smith,
with a unanimous vote of the Board, the proposed Local Law #3 -
1990 was withdrawn and the Public Hearing was adjourned at 8:06
p.m.
2. AMENDMENT TO LOCAL LAW #2 - 1990
"DEMOLITION OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES"
Mayor Cresenzi called the Public Hearing to order at 8:06 p.m.
and directed Attorney Beane to explain the modifications.
Attorney Beane explained that two non-substantive modifications
are proposed to Local Law #2-1990 to clarify the language. The
amendments delete a section on penalties because of the presence
of the same language in a different section and the same holds
true for two sections defining fees.
On Motion made by Trustee Smith, seconded by Trustee Ravich,
with a unanimous vote of the Board, the following Resolution was
adopted as amended and the Public Hearing was Adjourned at 8:10
p.m.
RESOLUTION
AMENDMENTS TO THE DEMOLITION OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES
RESOLVED, that Local Law #3-1990 entitled: "Amendments to the
Demolition of Buildings and Structures" be hereby approved as
amended; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that said Local Law shall take effect
immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State.

3. ARROWWOOD CONFERENCE CENTER
AMENDMENT TO PUD SITE PLAN
Mayor Cresenzi called the Public Hearing to order at 8:10 and
introduced William Null, attorney, of Cuddy and Feder on behalf
of Carol Management Corporation.
Mr. Null explained that a minor amendment to the site plan that
was previously approved by the Village Board on August 14, 1990
is proposed. It concerns the golf clubhouse and the addition of
an outdoor swimming pool which were recommended by both the
Planning Board and the Architectural Review Board. The golf
clubhouse is reduced in the area as well as in height, but the
coverage has increased. As a result, no impact to existing
trees occurred. The previous building had extended 65 ft. with
a cupola on top and now it has been reduced in size. The square
footage has been reduced but there is approximately a 2000
increase coverage as it sits on the site. Mr. Null added that
the other portion of this request is to reconfigure the tax lots
to conform to the lots shown on the previously approved
sub-division plan. The reason is that his clients have obtained
financing which expires at the end of the year. In order for a
mortgage to be placed on the residential portion of the property
they need to have a lot to file against. No financing
institution will be willing to lend if they can't be sure that
their parcel is in tact should be there be any default. They
are requesting authorization to reconfigure the tax lots to
conform to those shown on the sub-division plat. There are four
lots which consist of a conference lot, two golf course lots,
and the residential lot.
Trustee Filipowski questioned if a paddleball court would be
removed.
Mr. Null stated that the golf clubhouse had no paddleball court.
On Motion made by Trustee Ravich, seconded by Trustee Smith,
with a unanimous vote of the Board the following Resolution was
adopted:

environmental findings adopted on September 19, :1989 by the
Village Board in connection with this matter, since the
amendments detailed in this application are minor: (a) although
the footprint of the golf clubhouse is increased, the overall
floor area and height have been reduced; (b) the addition of the
outdoor pool will enhance, rather than detract from the site;
(c) the reconfiguration of the tax lots will have no
developmental or environmental impact on or to the site; and (d)
there will be no significant environmental impact by reason of
this amended development.
FURTHER RESOLVED, for the reasons set forth above, pursuant to

swimming pool, which modifications are consistent with the
previously approved development herein; and be it

Mayor Cresenzi opened up the meeting to the Public for
discussion.-
Kenny Ingwer questioned the reason for the fence.
Mayor Cresenzi replied that it was to close off Castleview Court
from the development.
Mr. Ingwer explained that there are three other sides which need
fencing off. He lives on Magnolia Drive and his backyard faces
the site.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that the concern that was raised by the
residents of Castleview Court, was to limit access to the site
and for the safety of their children. It is not reasonable to
fence in the entire site. The people living around the site
must also share in the responsibility.

Rocco Circosta, Director of Public Works stated that barricades
on excavations are required, but if a hole is dug today and will
be filled tomorrow, than they do not require a barricade. A
portion of the site will have a silt fence around it, which
controls soil erosion.
Randy Solomon stated that there is a Pre-K School there which
consists of three and four year olds that will have access to
this construction site. Perhaps more security is necessary.
John Colangelo stated that the same children were there when
Castleview Court was constructed. Also he stated that it is
private property and whoever walks on the property is
trespassing.
Mr. Morrow of Castleview Court questioned the trees on the site
and inquired if the Village was going to comply with the Tree
Preservation Law.
Mr. Circosta stated that there are three trees in the roadway
which will have to come down. All others must comply to the
Tree Preservation Law.
Attorney Beane stated that he feels that Mr. Berger may have
overlooked the last sentence in the final resolved paragraph
which really is the safety valve. He explained it by saying
that in order to go on the site, the applicant or his successor
must have permission from the Director of Public Works. The
Director of Public Works has the ability to determine on a case
by case basis whether or not access shall be given.
Mr. Morrow mentioned that a fence currently stands between
Castleview Court and the Church. Depending upon where the
utilities will connect from, there will probably have to come
through Castleview Court. If there must be a cut made in the
fence will repairs be made or some type of blockage be
supplied?
Mr. Circosta stated that there would be construction on
Castleview, Court in the future to connect these utilities.
There will also be an opening made in the fence which is on the
Church property and not on the right of way area so therefore it
will have to come down so they can make the transition to
Castleview Court. The Village will endeavor to provide whatever
protection they can. If it requires a temporary construction
fence then they will put one up.
Chris DePasquale, Advisor representing Anthony Valentino (a
resident of Castleview Court) , questioned whether a person could
purchase lot 2 and build a house on it prior to the road being
constructed and the utilities installed.
9 -
November 27, 1990 001768
Mayor Cresenzi stated that a home could not be occupied until a
Certificate of Occupancy is issued. The Certificate of
Occupancy would not be issued until the road is in.
Mr. DePasquale also questioned whether the fence that currently
runs the length of Castleview will be maintained to the end of
Comly Avenue when the building process begins?
Mayor Cresenzi stated that the fence belonged to the Church.
Mr. DePasquale stated that at prior meetings he remembered
discussion that in the past the Church was supposed to plant
trees to buffer the area. Now they could even pull the fence
down.
Trustee Filipowski stated that there are two separate churches
in that area. Perhaps you are speaking of the Church of the
Advent. When the original subdivision was created which
permitted the three houses on Castleview Court, the Church of
the Advent had certain requirements for putting up trees.
Mr. DePasquale stated that the fence belonging to St. Paul's
Lutheran Church is protecting the residents of Castleview Court
against the ongoings of the Church's activities and the parking
lot. If the fence comes down, their privacy will be taken away.
Mayor Cresenzi stated that the fence's integrity will be
maintained during the construction phase. The Church owns the
fence. They are not required to keep the fence up forever.
The Reverend Doctor William Beljean, of St. Paul's Lutheran
Church stated that they have not even contemplated taking that
fence down and they have no reason for taking it down.
Mr. Morrow stated that the fence prevents access onto Castleview
Court by pdople using the Parking Lot. As a resident in a
residential area it is nice to separate a parking lot from all
the residents in the area by having a fence around the parking
lot. Currently the parking lot has been used as a "lovers lane"
and also for children using dirt bikes.
Mr. Ingwer added that people have come in the parking lot and
right onto the grass knocking down mail boxes and leaving tire
marks on the grass.
Trustee Daly stated that the Board is only dealing with the
development, what the Church does with their parking lot and
their fence is not in this plan. We cannot restrict them to put
up a fence or not to put up a fence.
Reverend Baljean commented that if the Church is restricted to
fence in the parking lot, would they be allowed access to the
development site through Castleview Court because they would
have no way of getting through to their property.

November 27, 1990
Mr. Colangelo stated that in regard to the recreation fee, we do
have a unique situation for we are dealing with a Church and not
a developer. The fee of $36,000 is a substantial hardship upon
the Church. In order to obtain the funds they must receive
approval from the Church Hierarchy The Church is hoping to find
a developer to purchase the property. He suggests to the
Village Attorney that they pay in phases, percentage for a third
upon the signing of the plat and the balance upon the issuance
of the building permit. This would give them the opportunity to
get the plat signed, to make something saleable and to raise the
money because it will take many months to go through the public
health approval process and also the Church Hierarchy to obtain
the necessary funds to pay for the project. Mr. Colangelo
requests that the Board defer the cost of the recreation fee.
Mayor Cresenzi replied that it was the consensus of the Board
that the fee shall be as stated in the Resolution.
Mr. Ingwer questioned that King Street will be beautifully
landscaped to separate the homes from King Street but there is
nothing to separate the houses on Magnolia Drive backyards.
Mayor Cresenzi replied that the backyards of the houses would be
on King Street and they just wanted to screen them from King
Street and try to reduce the noise of the traffic. As for the
houses on Magnolia Drive, we felt that those residents would
just be facing other residents and did not need any screening.
There being no further discussion, Administrator Russo read the
following Resolution:
5. APPROVAL OF SUBDIVISION

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the applicant, his heirs, successors of

and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Resolution of Final Subdivision

the date of this Resolution; and it is
FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Resolution shall be binding on the
applicant, his heirs, successors and assigns and upon the Village of
Rye Brook, its heirs, successors and assigns.
Mayor Cresenzi suggested that John Colangelo present a brief synopsis
of this Resolution.
John Colangelo stated that the Board, as well as the Village Attorney
review the formula for determining the recreation fee as it is vague
and subject to many different types of interpretations. He added
that they previously paid a recreation fee for this particular
parcel.
Rocco Circosta, Director of Public Works, computed the fee. Mr.
Circosta stated that in computing the area, he took the total parcel,
which is the property owned by Mr. Loizzo, and the parcel to be
subdivided which is 30,252 sq. ft. plus the 2,504 sq. ft. and then
multiplied that by $7,000 per acre plus the $ 1,750 per dwelling
unit.
John Colangelo stated that the dwelling unit will be added on.
Attorney Beane stated that he disagreed with the thesis that the
developer is paying twice on the same property. Each is a different
subdivision. One may not constantly subdivide the property, and
after the first subdivision, expect to pay a smaller and smaller fee
each time.
The intention of the resolution is, whenever a new subdivision is
created, the portion of the recreation fee based on acerage is
computed on the entire property being subdivided, not merely on the
new building lot. The Director of Public Woard has always computed
the recreation fee in this fashion.
Mr. Colangelo stated that they paid a $13,000 recreation fee for the
whole subdivision and now we are being charged $7,000 for such a
small piece of land. The purpose of the statute is vague because it
does not state that it is prorated or proportional it only states
that it is per acre.
- 14 -
00177a
November 27, 1990
Attorney Beane stated that prorated would only mean that instead of
going to the next acre that you actually compute proportionally,
which was done.
Mr. Colangelo stated that he understands that this has always been
done this way but all the statute says is per acre.
Mr. Colangelo stated that there may not be a subdivision in Rye Brook
because they can build a house in Port Chester with the variances
created, and we are going in circles. He stated that the Board was
being short sided because a bad precedent is being created for those
who do create a two foot subdivision and sell their property to the
person next door.
I
Louis Larizza asked the Board if he were to subdivide lots 10 and 11
would he have to pay another $7,000?

awaiting them to award it within the next few days. This
additional funding will match the General Foods funding and
