PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. ARBORS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION SECTION 1, BLOCK 6R, LOT - MAINTENANCE AREA Mayor Cresenzi reconvened the hearing and stated that a correspondence was sent from the Association requesting that the application be withdrawn permanently. He added that the Board must vote on this. On Motion made by Trustee Pellino, seconded by Trustee Daly, the following resolution was hereby adopted: RESOLUTION ADJOURNING ARBORS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION SITE PLAN APPLICATION iRESOLVED, that at the request of the applicant, the public hearing on the Arbors Homeowners Association site plan application is adjourned without date subject to re- opening and consideration of the application is deferred.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING MAP TO RE-ZONE PROPERTY FROM R-10 TO C-1 ZONING DISTRICT Mayor Cresenzi stated that the Board would be deviating from the Agenda and take item number three next which is the re-zone application. Kip Konigsberg, Attorney with the firm of Piro and Monsell stated that he represents the applicant K & M Realty Group with respect to re-zone property that they currently own on Bowman Avenue. He informed the Board he is also a principal in K & M Realty. He explained that the property is undeveloped and comprises 4.039 acres located approximately 11,000 feet west of the intersection formed by South Ridge Street and the Bowman Avenue. Bowman Avenue is a County Road and property is identified on the tax assessment map of the Town of Rye as Section 1, Block 22, Lot 2B. He introduced Consulting Engineers John Meyer and Richard Pierson of John Meyer Consulting. 2 005260 April 26, 1994 Mr. Konigsberg explained that tonight, they are strictly asking if this property should be re-zoned from R10 which is it's present classification to C1 which is neighborhood retail. The sketch plan, prepared by John Meyer portrays lower Rye Brook pond and two pieces of land that are on this site. The Peninsula piece is approximately 1 acre of land and the other piece to the east of the Peninsula which is referred to as the strip, is approximately 1.3 acres and the remainder is water. The surrounding land uses around this property consists of 3 predominant zones. One is a C1P zone, one is an OB2 Office Building Zone and the other is an R10 Zone. South of the property is an R10 Zone which is residential and is completely under water and cannot be developed. Just South of that is 287. To the East of the crossover is property owned by John Merritt, which is approximately 12 acres in land and consists of parking lots, a 70,000 square foot medical office building and the Rye Ridge Shopping Center. Across the street and to the North is a piece of property owned by Leon Silverman that is another office building which is an OB2 zone. If you go to the West of that building there is another building known as 111 Bowman Avenue which is office zoned and 41,000 square feet. North of the parcel you have a school bus depot and the Port Chester Middle School which is an R10 zone. Directly across from the peninsula piece you have the playing field and the baseball field. As you go further to the West and North you have the property that goes by Philip Morris which is approximately one million square feet of parking spaces. Directly to the South of that across the street on Bowman Avenue is property owned by the City of Rye which is vacant land. It's R10 and most of the 25 acres is on the other side of Blind Brook which is very difficult to get to. The R10 is zoned for the school and other institutional uses and is really a classification zone as opposed to a residential zone. There are a number of considerations that the Board has to take into account. Among them are the following: This is a 4.039 acre site totally surrounded by commercial non- residential uses. This site is serviced by municipal sanitary sewers and storm drain systems and also has water, gas and electric available to the site. The property has approximately 300 square feet of frontage along Bowman Avenue and has excellent site distance, over 580 feet one way and 600 feet the other way. There is public transportation that services the property, which goes right in front of the property. The property is surrounded by retail establishments and there is no residential housing. Originally, this application was submitted to the Village Board of Trustees and was formally referred to the Planning Board for review and recommendation. After that process, the Planning Board unanimously recommended that this property be re-zoned from the present R10 to the Cl. The surrounding land area was identified and a traffic study was prepared by John Meyers Consulting. Lastly, there was a referral process where the application was sent to the Town of Harrison, who responded that it had no objection to the re-zoning and the County of Westchester Planning Department who agreed and added that the proposed re-zoning would be compatible with the surrounding land usage. The applicant also met with the City of Rye Planner who stated that they had no objections to the proposed re-zoning. At the Planning Board level discussions took place regarding uses that both the Planning Board and the Applicant felt were not appropriate for the site. 3 00526.1 April 26, 1994 Mr. Konigsberg explained that they would be willing to enter into a restrictive covenant or a two party agreement with the municipality on terms acceptable to the municipality. This document would be filed with the Westchester County Clerk's office and would be binding on all future land owners and property owners there and would run with the land. The proposed restrictions that were addressed and included in the Planning Board's recommendation to the Village Board included adult entertainment, fast food restaurants, restaurants with drive-thru windows, parking lots with the principal permitted use and gasoline service stations. This is strictly a re-zoning application and there may be environmental issues that are involved with that particular site but we feel that it is more appropriate to address them at a site plan review than during a re-zoning. Trustee Pellino stated that there are extreme environmental conditions that surely will have to be addressed during any site plan review. He questioned if the people who are going to be advising Mr. Konigsberg are aware of the history of this particular area and its impact downstream on the Ci tyof Rye. It's impact when developed still may have further implications to water and runoff problems down stream. Traffic considerations Two exits along 287 westbound going out onto on Bowman Avenue are also a concern. g g g Bowman Avenue down into Harrison, have been a source of increase of traffic along Bowman Avenue and coming up towards Ridge Street. We are in the process of considering a wetland ordinance and would like to be assured that Mr. Konigsberg is cognizant of this. Mr. Konigsberg informed the Board that they want to work with the Village on the site plan review. We have identified the same issues as Trustee Pellino just mentioned as the issues that are paramount to the site plan review, Mr. Konigsberg added. Mayor Cresenzi asked Mr. Konigsberg if there was anything at the South end of the strip. Mr. Konigsberg informed Mayor Cresenzi that there is a parking lot, then Merritt & Holby's medical office building which goes most of the length of the applicants property, There is a vacant piece of land that acts as a buffer between the applicants land and the office building. There would be no reason for traffic to go through a residential area at all. Most of the concerns that residents would have with concern to a site plan application do not relate to this particular application because the site is so isolated from the residential district. Trustee Zuckerman questioned if the Board approves the zoning change, would there be any difference environmentally between the Cl and the existing R10 in terms of impact aside from the possible site plan review and b changing the zone does the Village incur p p Y g g any environmental impact? 4 005262 April 26, 1994 Mr. Gissen informed Trustee Zuckerman that by merely changing the zone you do not incur any adverse environmental impact. One of the things we have made clear at the Planning Board level was that the applicant has a concept plan that they have presented there. What is not clear and won't be clear until we get into the real details of the site plan review if that concept can be fulfilled. There may be means for set backs from buffering from wetlands. There may be a need for additional buffering for the parking lot area, all of which potentially could reduce the developments potential beyond what it is showing. All of this will be thoroughly reviewed, a long form will be required in a more detailed form. This approval should not be reviewed as an affirmation of that particular concept. Trustee Zuckerman asked if the parcel were developed to maximum potential under R10 would the environmental consequences be approximately the same, greater or less than under the conceptual plan. Mr. Gissen stated that he didn't know how to answer that because if he did it under the residential there very well might not be any site plan review. You will have a new wetlands Law and presumably it would be governed under those approvals. Each review would require that they mitigate the potential impact to the maximum expense practicable. We don't know what the maximum development potential of residential of size which in this case is 10 000 would be it is not simply a division of the 1 square feet PY there would be more factors. Trustee Zuckerman asked Mr. Gissen if he was satisfied with the Planning Boards determination that he could develop this site in an environmentally safe manner? Mr. Gissen stated that he was satisfied because of the many options which include buffering for the areas around the water thus leaving those as open areas. This involves pulling the building back which might be an even greater opportunity if you had multiple single family homes and the ability to handle drainage from the parking lot in specific ways. We are confident that this site can be reviewed and approved at some level. Mayor Cresenzi stated that this current zone really does not fit with the surrounding uses in the area. If we are ever going to see any kind of use to this property that would benefit the community in tax income, we are going to have to deal with the re-zone, Mayor Cresenzi stated that what he believes Thomas Gissen said was that we may actually have greater control in reviewing this site plan with commercial use than we would have with the current use as an R10. He added that his opinion was that it made sense to go ahead with the re-zone. Mr. Konigsberg said that he is trying to improve the site. He wants to work with the Village on the environmental issues. 5 005263 April 26, 1994 j AI Benvenuti stated that he was in this room 10 years ago when the City of Rye and Rye Brook came to an agreement that this area known as the keyhole would be designated as a flood control area. This included no further action on the water or around the water. He asked if the area in question is flood control and if the land can be used? Mr. Konigsberg stated that Mr. Benvenuti was incorrect and that there is no such agreement with the City of Rye. He also spoke last week with the Village Planner who supported the idea. Ken Heller added that there is a significant amount of increased wild life in that area which the ordinance did not include, however he believes we will have to do a more indepth study to include this. Mayor Cresenzi stated that that issue would be dealt with in any environmental review if itwe chose to include it. On Motion made by Trustee Zuckerman, seconded by Trustee Solomon, the public hearing was closed at 8:30 p.m. TRUSTEE DALY VOTING AYE TRUSTEE PELLINO VOTING AYE TRUSTEE SOLOMON VOTING AYE TRUSTEE ZUCKERMAN VOTING AYE MAYOR CRESENZI VOTING AYE Attorney Powell asked Mr. Konigsberg if he was considering a bowling ally for the site, Mr. Konigsberg said he was not, and would be willing to include that in an agreement if the Village desired, He recommended that Attorney Powell and himself et together g Y g and review the legal language. 3. PROPOSED INTRODUCTORY LOCAL LAW #6-1994 ENTITLED: AMENDING THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK TO REPEAL CURRENT CHAPTER 224 OF SUCH CODE TO ADD A NEW CHAPTER 224 REGULATING SWIMMING POOLS Mayor Cresenzi opened the public hearing at 8:35 p.m. 6 005264' April 26, 1994 Trustee Pellino stated that the Zoning Code Update Committee decided to re-write the Swimming Pool Chapter of the Village Code. The Committee discussed such topics as wading pools and the permit process. He continued by saying that they grandfathered existing pools so that people that have pools built under the current code will not be penalized. They also discussed drainage, water supply issues, and the percentage of a property that can be covered by the surface area of the pool. He informed the Board that they did run these ideas by the Planning Board. The Planning Board said that the proposed swimming pool ordinance stand as proposed, Trustee Daly questioned the section of the ordinance requiring 2 fill pipes above the rim of the pool. Mr. Circosta stated that depending on the diameter of the fill pipe if it is a 2 or 2 1/2 inch pipe to fill the pool it must be 5 inches above the highest part of the water, The concern of this is theP revention of back flow. Trustee Daly inquired about the section that stated a drain pipe shall be connected to a j storm sewer or a dry well applied to all cases. Mr. Circosta stated that it depends on the filter system that you have. Not all pools on backwash will discharge. For the systems that do backwash, they have to go into a storm sewer or dry well. He continued by saying that he will review this section. Trustee Zuckerman questioned what would happen if the drainage outlet is not connected to the storm sewer or dry well currently. Mr. Circosta informed Trustee Zuckerman that it does not have to be connected. If one was to make a temporary connection for a hose on a back wash and run it out to a storm sewer in the street, that would be acceptable. There does not need to be a physical connection. Ken Heller stated that most pools that are being drained are being drained by commercial outfits, they are the ones who are running it out into the street. Trustee Daly stated that she agreed about the drainage of the pool but wanted to take back wash water disposal out. Trustee Pellino suggested that the Zoning Code Update Committee review this at their nerd meeting. Trustee Solomon asked for a definition of drywell. Trustee Pellino explained that drywell means and underground cavity that is filled with either crushed stone or gravel that will deflect water down to the earth. 7 005265 . April 26, 1994 Trustee Zuckerman asked how the requirement of the 224-7 differs in the proposed law from the current law. 0 Trustee Pellino informed him that A is currently 50/o of the side and area of front lot � y y line set back. After discussion with the Committee we realized that what was more reasonable was 10% of the total area of the property. We did not get into lot area coverage. However we did not know if the lot area coverage pertained to structures. Attorney Powell stated that he believed that the lot area coverage pertained to accessory buildings and not structures. Trustee Zuckerman stated that if we have an illegal pool constructed without a permit, it would now be illegal and not grandfathered. We would have a problem with the building department having to remove pools. Trustee Zuckerman suggested the permitting of previously illegal structures and having a special section regarding this. Mayor Cresenzi questioned if the pool was put in the rear of the property would you allow all of the heating and pumping to go in the side yard. Mr. Circosta stated_that if it was located on a corner you could erect a pool on that side lot assuming you meet the front yard setbacks. In the case of putting the pool in the rear yard, your filter equipment could be in the side front but it must meet the front yard setback. Mayor Cresenzi asked if any residents had any comments. David Watson stated that he is 650 feet from the nearest storm sewer and below it in grade and it would be difficult to access it. The dry well is a solution if necessary, however I prefer you not specify. What items would require pools to be in compliance? Mr. Circosta stated that when they look at 50% of the value of the pool, once you exceed the limit then you must bring it into compliance, Isabelle Sherlock inquired as to how many pools have permits currently. Mr. Circosta stated that we have over 250 permits for pools. Trustee Pellino stated that he has three items to bring in front of the Zoning Update Committee for change. If we can get these items resolved by the time the Village Board meets next we can have a Resolution for next time. 8 005266 April 26, 1994 On Motion made b Trustee Pellino seconded b Trustee Solomon the public hearing Y Y � p g was closed at 9:15 p.m. TRUSTEE DALY VOTING AYE TRUSTEE PELLINO VOTING AYE TRUSTEE SOLOMON VOTING AYE TRUSTEE ZUCKERMAN VOTING AYE MAYOR CRESENZI VOTING AYE RESOLUTIONS 4.

BUILDING PERMIT FEES LEGALIZATION FEES On Motion made by Trustee Solomon, seconded by Trustee Zuckerman, the following resolution was hereby adopted: RESOLUTION BUILDING PERMIT FEES LEGALIZATION FEES WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works has reviewed the present fee schedule in the Building Department; and WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works has recommended that the building permit fees be increased from $8.00 per one thousand dollars of construction to $10.00 per one thousand dollars of construction; and WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works has recommended that the Village establish a administrative fee of $300 for work that has progressed or completed without proper permits in addition to any other fee, cost or fine associated with an application. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village Board of Trustees hereby approves such recommendations; and FURTHER RESOLVED, that such building permit fees shall become effective immediately and the administrative fee shall take effect in 90 days. Trustee Zuckerman,suggested that we have some sort of an amnesty period, where we publicize the fact that we are going to charge a fee. We should give the people time to come in and legalize their otherwise illegal pools and decks or anything else. This period should be for 60 days. Attorney Powell stated that it doesn't legalize something that is not conforming. Trustee Zuckerman suggested that we call it an administrative fee in addition to any other applicable fees. 12 April 26, 1994 00527 Mayor Cresenzi stated that the Building Permit fee will be due immediately and the Administrative fee will be in effect in 90 days.

TRUSTEE DALY VOTING AYE TRUSTEE PELLINO VOTING AYE TRUSTEE SOLOMON VOTING AYE TRUSTEE ZUCKERMAN VOTING AYE MAYOR CRESENZI VOTING AYE Mayor Cresenzi decided to move to the discussion section of the Agenda and deal with the Port Chester-Rye-Rye Brook Volunteer Ambulance Corp. Report REPORTS 12. PORT CHESTER-RYE-RYE BROOK VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE CORP REPORT Henry Ijams, who was present on behalf of the Ambulance Corp., made a presentation to the Village Board. He began by saying that the Consultant that the Ambulance Corp. hired, Jay Fitch and Consultants have been working very closely with the Village Administrator on draft documents. These documents will bind the communities together in a formal arrangement to assist in ambulance service. There is going to be a formal written document that will now connect the three communities for the provision of ambulance service, called the Inter-Municipal Agreement. This agreement also calls for the establishment of an Emergency Medical Services Council to oversee EMS care in the community. The agreement also calls for the establishment of a medical advisory committee, made up of Board Certified emergency physicians to oversee the clinical aspects of care in the community. Now we're going to be moving forward with a professionally laid out plan for the delivery of EMS. Two elements that the Corps. do not currently have are being added. One of which is medical oversight and input from members of the community to sit on the Emergency Medical Oversight Council. This Board will be made up of representatives of the community. These representatives will make recommendations to the various boards. This board will report back to the Village Board on a quarterly basis of how things are going. The second piece is that there is an agreement being set up between this oversight committee and the volunteers. The volunteers are the contractor of choice at least for the first 3 years. The various Village Managers are working out the details. The Volunteers would like to thank the Village of Rye Brook for permitting the use of Village Hall for the administrator selection, which was done last Saturday, We narrowed it down to four candidates, held an all day assessment seminar and we are hoping for a July 1, 1994 start date. He thanked the Board for their attention. 14 April 26, 1994 005272 Trustee Solomon asked Mr. Ijams if he had given any thought to the background of the people that they would want on the Board? Mr. Ijams stated that in the agreement it loosely calls for a senior partner from a local law firm. It calls for a partner in a CPA firm and a person from a local industry. Trustee Solomon asked Mr. Ijams if the attorney should have a medical background. Mr. Ijams stated that that would be our ultimate goal, however we did not want to be too restrictive. 13. BIRTHDAY COMMITTEE Kenneth Berman, co-chairman of the Rye Brook Birthday Celebration Committee addressed the Board by thanking the many people who volunteered in this years celebration. He stated that thistY ears party is scheduled for June 11th with a raindate of Y p June 12th from 12:00 p.m until 4:00 pm. There is going to be a band, and similar amusements to last years event with a few additions. The goal of the Birthday Party is to celebrate and commemorate the Village of Rye Brook in its twelfth year. This year there will be no Birthday Run because it costs to much. The Committee decided to use as many volunteers as possible without having to use paid people on the day of the party. We expect to be right in budget, any proceeds left over will go to the Recreation Department for programs. We have some checks and are waiting for our major donor. The food will be similar to last years and will consist of hot dogs, hamburgers and potato chips. We are giving away two major prizes with no raffles this year. Ms. Metro New York favorite pre-teen will also be in attendance. Mr. Berman then gave the Board 10 reasons why residents should attend the Rye Brook Birthday Party and they were as follows: 10) Nothing else to do that day. 9) Keep the kids occupied without paying a babysitter. 8) Free food. 7) No parking charge. 6) Two free give-a-ways. 5) Tell your in-laws Crawford Park is your summer mansion 4) Dunk the Mayor. 3) More free food and drink. 2) Meet your neighbors you haven't seen all winter, 1) David Letterman will not be there. Mayor Cresenzi asked Mr. Berman how recognition would be given to those who donated. Mr. Berman explained that there will be a letter going out after the party thanking all the donors. 15 X0,52 713 Trustee Daly questioned if it would be more cost effective rather than writing a letter to allow everyone in the community to take an ad out in the newspaper. I Mr. Berman stated that it could be expensive but would look into. Mayor Cresenzi questioned how they planned to control the distribution of food. Mr. Berman explained that they were going to have more tables and spread it out so they didn't have it so congested. Mayor Cresenzi questioned if they were doing anything to avoid non-residents attending. i Mr. Berman stated that it would be too expensive to try and prevent this. We are emphasizing that only Rye Brook residents attend. Mr. Berman informed the Board that no campaigning is allowed at the Birthday Party. He added that presently, they have 35 volunteers however, they do need more. Mr. Berman wanted to specifically thank Thomas Hroncich for all his help. DISCUSSION 14. HILLANDALE AREA REZONE Mr. Gissen stated that first they visited the site to obtain a better sense of it logistically. After receiving the map, they contacted the Town of Rye to obtain the disks used to generate the map. Digitized measurements of the map were taken and added when the disks were received so they would be more accurate. The study area was established and was determined by the lots that front on the side streets and both sides of King Street. Generally, zoning lines are not drawn though streets but drawn off of streets preferably through back yards. There are 148 lots. Measurements were taken with regard to the lot size and the mean lot width and the mean lot depth. Those were taken at ten foot intervals for each of those lots on each of those measurements to get a reasonably accurate measurement. The data was transferred to a spread sheet to perform analysis on lot area with the intention of further analysis setbacks and structures that are shown on these maps and the building coverage requirements. He stated that they did this analysis for all 148 lots. It was determined that for these 148 lots, the median lot size was about 30,000 square feet. The mean was approximately 36,000 square feet in size. Also, an analysis was taken of a single family residential lot and they eliminated 4 lots. These lots included the Town owned land, the nursing home, the church and this portion of the multi-family housing because it is not generally consistent to single family zoning characteristics. The median is lower because these are larger than average size the median dropped down to 29,900 the mean down to 2,200 and added that these numbers were surprising. They decided to review it further and see how many lots would become non-conforming. All of the lots that were looked at, approximately 1 in 5 of the lots would become non-conforming. If you move up to an R25 minimum lot size 25,000 square feet it jumps up to about 12%, 1 in 3 lots now becomes non-conforming, 16 0 `y April 26, 1994 Mr. Gissen explained that if you jump up R30 it jumps up to 28% which is almost half 49% of the lots become non-conforming. We decided to look at it by site area to see if that was consistent throughout or whether there might be areas within the entire study area that were where larger lots might predominate. On King Street the median was somewhat lower, it was 23,400 square feet and the mean is considerably higher at about 44,000. For the lots on Hillandale, the median was about 34,000 and the mean is 38,300. Loch Lane's median was 25,500 with the mean about 27,300. Beechwood Blvd. had the largest lot with the median being 30,000 and the mean being 35,600. Woodland Drive had a median of 25,700 and a mean of 29,200. Edgewood Drive also had relatively large lots with a median of 33,200 and a mean of 33,800. On King Street, below 20,000 square feet about 47% of the lots are non-conforming. If you jump to 25,000 it goes up to 63%, if you go to 30,000 it goes up to 55% of the lots becoming non-conforming. Along Hillandale, relatively few are non-conforming with respect to lot area, if you go to 25,000 lot size almost one in four 23% become non-conforming. If you go to 30,000 a little over one in three 37% become non-conforming. On Loch Lane 25% are currently non- conforming, if you went to an R30 than 83% would become non-conforming, Beechwood Blvd. 100% of the lots are conforming and a 100% would be conforming at an R30. Woodland Drive's numbers are somewhat overstated because of the smaller lots which are located outside and not counted, if you go to an R25 44% would be non- conforming, if you go to an R30 61% would be non-conforming. On Edgewood Drive only one of the lots 6% is non-conforming if you go to an R25 it doubles to 13% if you go to an R30 is goes to 44%. This was done to see if maybe there would be a collection of the larger lots, but in fact they seem to be interspersed throughout the area. They looked at whether the R20 line for King Street to the inner area line should be eliminated and make it all one zone or follow the rear lot line. The latter is the best way to do it, however it could be limited by conditions in the field, which his office thinks it best to limit it. It is too much of a sawtooth pattern which they do not think is advisable. It is better to have a lot line which is more consistent. Trustee Zuckerman stated that along King Sheet on the Westerly side those lots eliminated the Easterly side of King Street, how many of those lots that are currently R15 are 20,000 or more square feet? Mr. Gissen told him that they have not taken the next step to find that out yet. Trustee Zuckerman then questioned of the lots that Mr. Gissen studied, how many are in fact continuous lots that are owned by the same owner that have been subdivided. Mr. Gissen informed him that there may be some that are undeveloped but we did not break is down to common ownership. Trustee Solomon questioned if Messina is broken into lots or one parcel? 17 00527,5 April 26 1994 Mr. Gissen told him no, that is actually one of the two items that we were going to change the number. One is that we are not going to include that as we initially did because it actually has no frontage on Hillandale and it is beyond the last lot. The other thing that we did with Messina which was a mistake and pulled the number down was counted the 2 lots based upon the new subdivision. We then neglected to count the other 3 or 4 lots. Each of those lots are in the 20's and the averages are up in the 30's actually when we incorporate those and eliminate that, the number is going to come down. Trustee Zuckerman questioned if a map could be drawn where the lots that are 50-20, 20-25, 25 to 30 could be color coded. Mr. Gissen replied that could be done. Mayor Cresenzi questioned how Mr. Gissen felt about the concept of rezoning the area. Mr. Gissen stated that his feeling was that he would not be in favor of rezoning if the cost of it was to make large numbers of the lots non-conforming, which appears to be the end result. Basically, our feeling is that there is not a good case for rezoning. 15. EXTENSION OF LEASE AGREEMENT TOWN OF RYE, HIGHWAY GARAGE Attorney Powell stated that the lease on the Highway garage is being requested to be extended for thirty years. However, after the thirty year term you will have a capital expenditure into that building. The building at the end of the lease term will not be yours. Trustee Zuckerman stated that according to the leasable enforce, there is a lease term that will end in 2024. The current lease's term ends in 2000, we also have a 15 year option to that year which would bring it to 2015. The new lease increases our current by only 9 years. He added that he and Trustee Daly had a meeting with the Rye Town Liaison Committee several weeks ago and mentioned to Supervisor Morabito that we P would need a longer term. The Supervisor was under the impression that the lease forwarded to us was 30 years plus a 15 year option. We had said that we would like an additional 15 year option and he seemed amenable to that. The Supervisor advised us that there would not be a problem granting a 30 year lease as of today making it an additional 30 year option. He requested that we pass the Resolution, approve the lease with that stipulation that is conditional on determining 30 years with a 30 year option. Trustee Zuckerman asked Attorney Powell if he had any problem with this. Attorney Powell stated that he thinks that is more of a policy issue. The policy issue of sinking money into a garage to get a lease on it. Trustee Daly stated that she would like to have this in writing. 18 April 26, 1994 Mayor Cresenzi directed Administrator Russo to call Supervisor Morabito and arrange the new lease agreement. Mayor Cresenzi than requested that Isabelle Sherlock, Chairperson of the Advisory Council on Environmental Conservation discuss the Wetlands Law. WRITTEN COMMUNICATION 16. ISABELLE SHERLOCK, CHAIRPERSON ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL OF DRAFT WETLANDS ORDINANCE FROM ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION COUNCIL TO VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Mrs. Sherlock informed the Board that they have been working on this law since April of last year. The Draft that was submitted to the Board for review was actually the fourth draft. She stated that the Council based a great number of items on the County Ordinance, however they have changed a number of things to make a better law for home rule. She stated that she would like the Board to take the next step to get the law to a Public Hearing so that the law could be put into effect to protect the wetlands that we are aware of. Mayor Cresenzi thanked the Council for all the time and hardwork they put into the creation of this law. Mayor Cresenzi then called for a Public Hearing. Trustee Zuckerman asked if the Committee could plan on a presentation during the Public Hearing. Mrs. Sherlock stated that a report of that type would be difficult because they do not have a map showing the wetlands. The Committee feels it more important to get the law in place first. There have been wetlands in the Village which have already been filled in. Those areas would not show on a map. Trustee Pellino asked if they were aware of any requirements that would require us to run this by either the County or the State prior to the Village Board addressing it. Mrs. Sherlock stated that she believed the County gave its encouragement to municipalities to do there own home rule based upon what was in it. Trustee Pellino stated that he was wondering if there was a provision that requires a municipality to run it past the next higher authority to ensure that requirements are conformed to. 19 005277 April 26, 1994 Attorney Powell stated that there are provisions in the Environmental Conservation Law which provides for the local takeover of freshwater wetlands determined by the Department of Environmental Conservation. Attorney Powell questioned if the definition of wetlands was going to include the Department of Environmental Conservation requirements? Mrs. Sherlock stated that with home rule we would be able to adjust with approval authority. Attorney Powell stated that the attention to define the wetlands which would be subject to the regulations of the local law which would also include lands below the DEC threshold as well as those regulated by the DEC. Mrs. Sherlock stated that she believes the requirements would be reviewed by the Village Engineer and the Village Board. Mrs. Sherlock then thanked the Board for their attention. 17.

AUTHORIZING PAYMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES TO COLIMORE-CLARKE ASSOCIATES Trustee Daly asked how the hourly rate was decided upon. Administrator Russo informed her that this is the rate in the proposed agreement. It is under any bidding amount, therefore he recommends that they approve the bill. Mr. Gallow has been doingwork for us, we did this under an emergency situation. The g �' problem with his agreement had to do with how much liability his firm is willing to accept at this late stage should there be a claim, We are trying to separate his liability from the previous architect's liability. Mayor Cresenzi stated that Mr. Gallow has solved many problems since he has arrived and we need him to continue, therefore, we need to pay him.
