McKENNA, SDB, PASTOR- RE: ON BEHALF OF CORPUS CHRISTI CHURCH REQUESTING PERMISSION TO PUT A SIGN AT THE RYE RIDGE SHOPPING CENTER ON JULY 22-27, 1996, FOR THEIR ANNUAL CARNIVAL: Administrator Russo told the Board that the Village had received a request for permission to erect a sign relating to Corpus Christi's carnival that will take place July 22 - 27, 1996 at the Rye Ridge Shopping Center at the corner of South Ridge Street and Bowman Avenue from Corpus Christi Church. The Board members agreed unanimously to allow the erection of said sign. 6. SUSAN FLANAGAN, PROGRAM COORDINATOR- RE: ON BEHALF OF COMMUNITY SYNAGOGUE REQUESTING PERMISSION TO PUT A SIGN AT RYE RIDGE SHOPPING CENTER ADVERTISING A HOLIDAY BOUTIQUE AND FAIR TO TAKE PLACE IN NOVEMBER: Administrator Russo told the Board that the Village had received a request from Community Synagogue in Rye, New York, for permission to erect a sign at the Rye Ridge Shopping Center at the corner of South Ridge Street and Bowman Avenue relating to a Holiday Boutique and Children Fun Fair that will take place on Sunday, November 10, 1996. The Board members agreed unanimously to allow the erection of said sign. Mayor Cresenzi discussed the proposed Village zoning map and the accompanying memorandum from Christian Miller. Mr. Miller reviewed the Village's current zoning map and explained its deficiencies. "It is not accurate, nor clear. It is almost a necessity to have the tax map include all tax lots." Furthermore, the tone patterns were omitted from the new zoning map by using simple lines designating the district name within the boundaries. Mr. Miller explained some of the changes as follows: 1. Designation of PUD District - There are currently two PUD districts in the Village, but on the existing zoning map, it is not exactly explained where and what a PUD district is. Mr. Miller explained that a PUD is a two step process in which the Village adopts the zoning and the zoning is placed on the map. When the site plan is approved, it officially becomes a PUD Zone. The Arbors is now designated a PUD zoning district rather than a R-20 (PUD) Zone. Mr. Miller pointed to the Arrowwood PUD, which will be designated a PUD Zone rather than how it currently reads as - OB-1 (PUD) Zoning district. 2. Housekeeping matters -Preferably not having zoning lines in the middle of properties, which creates a number of problems in terms of zoning compliance and split properties. The new map creates an island of R-15 and R-20 zoning districts. Mr. Miller communicated that the PUD District is essentially a"floating zone," meeting certain criteria, one of which is that it is required to be more than 30 acres in size. 3 006-1-80 July 9, 1996 Administrator Russo reported that the Village has amended their proposal to Sewell Map Company to get base tax maps and disks. i Trustee Zuckerman questioned how a new zoning map would affect a homeowner if a lot line is moved, for example, as suggested by Trustee Strum, moving the line on King Street (R-15 and R-20 zoning districts.) He questioned how it would effect the value of the property and if the property owner should be concerned. Trustee Zuckerman stated that a public hearing would be necessary to change a zoning district. Mr. Miller stated that this could be a very easy process or a more involved process for housekeeping matters, but it will definitely clarify things and be very helpful. Trustee Pellino said if zoning lines are changed and new non-conformities arise, can homeowners be grand- fathered since this would create hardship. Attorney Powell said that they would be grand-fathered, but they cannot be made legal because all of the regulations in a district have to be in conformance. Mr. Miller brought up the Arrowwood property and reported that an application submitted by them diligently went through the PUD Regulations' process. He said that he reviewed the Village Board's approval and noticed that the development of the PUD applied to the entire 114 acre property. However, that may not be the case, so clarification is needed. The Mayor announced the next meeting dates: NEXT MEETING DATES: REGULAR MEETING JULY 23, 1996 AGENDA MEETING AUGUST 13, 1996 The meeting was adjourned at 7:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Christopher J.
