O S. 005500 MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK BOARD OF TRUSTEES VILLAGE OFFICES 90 SOUTH RIDGE STREET RYE BROOK, NEW YORK DECEMBER 27, 1994 CONVENE MEETING The Meeting was called to order at 7:48 p,m. by Mayor Cresenzi in the Meeting Room and the Pledge of Allegiance followed. Present were the following members of the Board: Mayor Salvatore M. Cresenzi Trustee Michele Daly Trustee Joseph Pellino Trustee Randy A. Solomon Trustee Gary J. Zuckerman Also present were: Christopher J. Russo, Village Administrator Lori Ann DeMarco, Ass't to Village Administrator Rocco V. Circosta, Director of Public Works Kenneth E.

STROMBERG SUBDIVISION APPLICATION 62 BOWMAN AVENUE SECTION 1, BLOCK 23, LOT 4 Mayor Cresenzi opened the public hearing at 7:48 p.m. and introduced Robert Mascali, attorney for Gary and Angela Stromberg. Mr. Mascali gave a brief overview of the application and stated that the property is juxtaposed so that the front and the side become the rear and stated that the Zoning Board unanimously believes that the applicant has established the required practical difficulty and therefore granted the various variances that were required in order to proceed to the next step which is to obtain approval from the Board of Trustees. The applicant requests that in addition to the approval of the application an approval of the requirement with respect to the provision of a turn around on the property be granted as well. When reading the memorandum from Frederick P. Clark Associates, it seems that the conclusion is that the provision of a turnaround at a dead end street on Osborne Place is not feasible given the property and how it is situated but that the applicant's provision of an L shaped turnaround which is shown on the plan should accommodate what the reasons for having a turnaround would be in another situation. We intend to, if the application is granted, remedy the traffic flow situation as it currently exists as the members of the Board must know, when you come in off of Bowman Avenue and on to Osborne Place at the terminus there is absolutely no place for anyone to turn around as it currently exists other than turning around on the property of the last homeowner on the right hand side. What the applicant proposes to do, along with the sub-division is to provide, by easement, an L shaped turnaround that would kind of straddle the property lines of lots 1 and 2 and be sufficient for any emergency access or any person who might turn in there and not know exactly how to get out of Osborne Place. Trustee Pellino inquired about the last comment pertaining to the turnaround straddling the property line and stated that it does not appear to be in the drawing. Mr. Mascali pointed out that on the drawing it is the dotted line. It doesn't actually go on to Lot 1 but it is kind of straddling the property line between Lot 1 and Lot 2. It is the L-shaped dotted line just as you come in off of Osborne Place. One of the comments from the engineer was that the interior radius should be extended somewhat and that is not a problem with the applicant, who is more than willing to accommodate that engineering request. Trustee Pellino asked Mr. Mascali to better define the applicant's definition of the front of the property because he defines it, under the Village's Sub-division regulations, to be that lot line that has direct access to a street, in this case Osborne Place. Under the Village's Sub-division Code that means that the Osborne Place lot line is the front of the property and in reading Mr. Gissen's memorandums, the positioning of the house appears to be that the front of the house is going to be facing Bowman Avenue. Mr. Mascali explained that there is a difference between street frontage and where the front of the house might be situated. j 2 December 27, 1994 0050 2 The Zoning Board wanted the house to be oriented consistent with the other houses along Osborne Place. If you are familiar with Osborne Place, all of the houses front out towards Bowman Avenue and it was the Zoning Board's desire and a condition of their ultimate request that the frontage be on Osborne Place for purposes of determining what your front yard setback is and your rear yard set back. The positioning of the house was to be such that the front yard would be from Bowman Avenue so that would be where the 30 feet would be measured from and your side yards become your front yards. Although the house would be facing Bowman Avenue, it qualified as having frontage on Osborne Place. From a legal point of view this was a practical difficulty that the applicant had. From a bulk requirement, one of the lots contained well in excess of the minimum 5,000 square foot in the R217 Zone but it was the way the property was orientated and the way Osborne Place was laid out that caused the applicant such difficulty. In order to accommodate that and at the same time ensure that the house, subject to the Board's approval if and when ultimately built, will conform with all the surrounding houses in the area. According to the drawing it would seem, and Mr, Circosta may correct me if I am wrong, that we have a side yard set back of 6 feet on one side and 10 feet on the other and in the R2F it is believed to be compliant, stated Mr. Mascali. Mayor Cresenzi questioned the front and rear yard set backs. Mr. Mascali explained that there are 30 feet in the back and 20 feet in the front which meets all the requirements. Mayor Cresenzi questioned how many waivers needed to be granted in order for this to move forward. The cul-de-sac would be one but how many others would the Village have to grant? Mr. Mascali stated that he was not sure the Village was waiving any requirements for a cul-de-sac because the property itself already fronts on Osborne Place and Osborne just deadends and there is no turn around area there so it is not an extension of any road ways. I don't know what waivers, if any, other than the variances that were granted from the Board of Appeals. Mayor Cresenzi questioned whether it would be a turnaround and whether it is going to be a public right of way orbasically an extension of a driveway. Mr. Mascali replied that the applicant would do whatever the Board required. If the Board requires that it be actually dedicated the applicant would do that or if the Board wanted it as an easement the applicant would do it that way, whatever is the Board's pleasure. Attorney Powell explained that the nature of his point was that if it does not start out as a public way then in that case it would be an extension of the roadway. It had originally been proposed as an easement. On Motion made by Trustee Solomon, seconded by Trustee Pellino, the public hearing was closed at 8:04 p.m. with an approval resolution to be ready at the January 24, 1995 meeting.

PROPOSED INTRODUCTORY LOCAL LAW #12-1994 TO PRESCRIBE BULK STANDARDS IN VARIOUS ZONING DISTRICTS Trustee Pellino stated that this is a continuation from a previous public hearing and also from many discussions prior to the public hearing. The way it was left last month was that there were a number of questions that had arisen. The most notable one was a letter dated November 22, 1994 from the County g Plannin Commission that raised some issues with us and we think we have resolved them. We are completely aware that we are subject to SEQR process. The letter was reviewed by the Zoning Update Committee on December 14th and after several discussions it was decided that the we wanted to leave it just the way it is. Trustee Pellino requested that Attorney Powell develop a better way of raising that paragraph without changing its meaning and intent as discussed earlier. Attorney Powell stated that the language is difficult to simplify. Trustee Pellino stated that it was a difficult paragraph to come up with but the meaning is here and our committee would like to stand back with it. The third paragraph in the County's letter has to do with the Wetlands paragraph, Paragraph B on the first page on more than 25% of a lot area of a lot may be satisfied by land that is under water or defined as a wetland by either the Wetlands Law or the methodology used by the US Corp of Engineers. When this grant was prepared there was no Village wetlands law so the committee agrees with the County that we should remove the last part of Paragraph B and simply have the sentence end with underwater or is defined as a wetland by the wetland law. Trustee Pellino then referred to the next page, where the County says no indication is given for the reduction of the minimum lot area requirement in the H 1 Hotel District from 20 acres to 12 acres. Such information will typically be found in the environmental assessment form. This was discussed with Attorney Powell and that is a procedural matter that he can take care of for us. The 12 acres, as you probably have guessed, refers to the lot on King Street at Anderson Hill Road in the Hl District, changing it from 20 to 12 would bring that parcel into conformance with the H1 District and would make it appropriately subject to the bulk standards. Those are the immediate responses to the County letter. He pointed out that Trustee Zuckerman was concerned about several things, one of them having to do with the changing of area requirements on page 4, paragraph E, Minimum Lot Dimensions for Office and Professional Buildings and Testing Laboratories. He explained that the lot area of that was put in as 5 acres because there was no acreage requirement in this or the C 1 Zone prior to the draft of this amendment. Trustee Pellino continued to explain that because of the horizontal circle method we have to have a lot area to start with and after much discussion at the committee level we came up with the 5 acres as the reasonable lot area that could be attributable to this district. The object of arriving at these numbers was to arrive at a future development pattern for these districts that was consistent with the intent of our zoning program. The real problem was that we had no area and there can be no horizontal circle without a minimum area. Trustee Zuckerman spoke of changing the Hotel District and added that it would need to be referred to the Planning Board rather than the Zoning Update Committee. He stated that he has no problem with the law as written in terms of possibly doing that but was more concerned with the methodology. 4 December 27, 1994 005594 Trustee Pellino stated that the Committee passed this entire draft by the Planning Board and it met with their approval. Trustee Zuckerman stated that it is actually a legal question. Attorney Powell asked if those changes had to be formally approved by the Planning Board. They do not have to be approved by them but they have to be referred to them for recommendation. There is a memorandum dated November 18, 1994 but this had gone before the Planning Board as far back as February 1994 and the Planning Board at that time voted unanimously to recommend approval. On Motion made by Trustee Solomon, seconded by Trustee Zuckerman, the public hearing was closed at 8:14 p.m. TRUSTEE DALY VOTING AYE TRUSTEE PELLINO VOTING AYE.

TERM OF OFFICE OF MAYOR AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WHETHER THEY SHOULD BE FOUR YEARS AND VILLAGE ELECTIONS SHOULD BE HELD BIENNIALLY IN EVEN NUMBERED YEARS Mayor Cresenzi opened the public hearing at 8:15 p.m. and stated that this Public Hearing has to do with the extension of the terms of office from two years to four years for the elective board, the Trustees and the Mayor. Trustee Solomon stated that under the resolutions being set up here give the dates for the two proposals and questioned if the Board was going to discuss this now and then have a public hearing. Mayor Cresenzi replied no, it is a resolution and we all agreed that if passed at the January meeting there would be a stipulation that we would be acting on this but it would be subject to a referendum. The Mayor inquired of the Village Attorney if there was not a time line that has to work. As far as when we pass something and then how it works out that we coincide with the Village Election in March. Attorney Powell explained that if you are going to pass it, it should be passed sometime in January. Mayor Cresenzi suggested that this public hearing be closed at this point and move on as we will be discussing this at next month's meeting. 5 005595 December 27, 1994 On Motion made by Trustee Pellino, seconded by Trustee Solomon, the public hearing was closed at 8:16 p.m. TRUSTEE DALY VOTING AYE TRUSTEE PELLINO VOTINGAYE TRUSTEE SOLOMON VOTING AYE TRUSTEE ZUCKERMAN VOTING AYE MAYOR CRESENZI VOTING AYE. Mrs. Sherlock asked Mayor Cresenzi to repeat what just transpired. Mayor Cresenzi explained that the public hearing was closed because further down the agenda there are two resolutions establishing public hearings for the January meeting. Rather than duplicate the discussion twice we closed the hearing this evening because we are going to hold the p g g g g public hearings separately in January. One dealing with the terms of office of the trustees and one dealing with terms of office of the Mayor. As agreed to in the past, this will be subject to a permissive referendum to be held at the same time as the Village Election in March. 4. RYE CENTER SERVICE STATION HOURS OF OPERATION On Motion made by Trustee Pellino, seconded by Trustee Solomon, the public hearing was adjourned to the January 24, 1995 Village Board meeting by request of the applicant.

INTERNET SYSTEM Mayor Cresenzi announced that this report would be given at the January 24, 1995 meeting. DISCUSSION 6. 501-C-3 FILING CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AttorneyPowell stated that a co of the certificate was distributed to each member of the Board. PY It calls for a corporation called the Friends of Rye Brook Inc. and the Mayor and each of the Trustees would be the directors of the corporation. Attorney Powell pointed out that it was submitted a while ago but there was no direction whether it should be filed or not. Mayor Cresenzi asked how we would have to move on this. 6 December 27, 1994 005596 Attorney Powell answered that it would just be a consensus as to whether to file it. The Board agreed that it should be filed. It was also asked if everyone agreed to the name of it. Trustee Daly believed that it should have a different name as she thought someone else has this . name. Trustee Zuckerman stated that he felt it was absolutely necessary to file the Certificate of Incorporation and it is really a fantastic idea. The question is what name should we use because once we choose the name that is it. The Mayor stated that he did not have a problem with the name and felt the Certificate should be filed. Trustee Zuckerman felt that by having such a corporation it will make it a lot easier for other profit oriented corporations to make donations to the Village and for its various purposes. There may have been a problem with the Birthday Run and South East Consortium. Perhaps the unknowing corporate benefactors were uncertain as to whether the gifts were actually charitable and tax deductible and this makes it very clear because once you say it is a 501 C3 you can do it. Trustee Pellino also stated that there are policies that corporations have as well that just prohibit directors in the public relations capacity from donating to a municipality or to some other type of organization that is not listed as a 501 C3 and the Village had this experience recently with our most recent Birthday Party, in getting some corporate donations so this is something that he was anxious to see get done this year. Trustee Zuckerman stated that a lot of local corporations perhaps that are located in Rye Brook may be willing to give voluntarily something that they otherwise would consider another tax. It is one thing to take by taxation and another to give charitably. This is from a business and a philosophical perspective it would make it easier for us to raise money. The Village Board gave their direction to file. RESOLUTIONS 7.

Attorney Powell stated that he and Milton Berner had some discussions this afternoon and he will mention the items that were discussed. Mr. Berner agreed that they would not commence a certiorari proceeding for the review of the agreed reduction of the assessment on the subject property. 9 December 27, 1994 005599 Attorney Powell explained that as to the right of first refusal itself there is a thirty day time period and Mr. Berner agreed that the time period could be extended on mutual agreement of the parties, which Attorney Powell feels is an advantage. He believes that this is one where the one percent down payment would be eliminated. The other issue has to do with the nine percent deposit on a contract to purchase and we had discussed reducing that because it is a rather large number and I think three percent is better. Mayor Cresenzi asked if Mr. Berner agreed to those changes. Mr. Berner stated that he was in agreement and that these changes were agreeable to his client. Trustee Daly questioned whether some of the things contained in the agreement were binding, and she would like certain things double checked to make sure everything we do is binding. Attorney Powell answered that until the court says otherwise it is binding. Mr. Berner agreed with Attorney Powell and added that you can't test an agreement until it goes to court. Trustee Daly continued that it was thought that previously some of the things in the original contract were things that may not be binding. It is kind of a carry over and she wanted to readdress it.
