Mayor Filipowski commented on the congestion that has been occurring on Ridge Street around the school at dismissal time.

The Mayor stated that there will be a meeting on Monday, November 29t" with the State, Dr. Van Hooven, and Victor Carosi, Village Engineer, to discuss this issue. The results of this meeting will give the Board a better understanding. Mayor Filipowski called for the first item on the agenda: 1 PUBLIC HEARING: 1. PROPOSED LOCAL LAW ADOPTING AN UPDATED VILLAGE ZONING MAP. Mr. Christian Miller, Village Planning Consultant, made a brief presentation. He noted that the new map will replace the existing one and that its intent is to replicate the existing zoning district definitions on the original map. This is a new, more legible, and more accurate map. This map, and the local laws which accompany it, has been referred to the Planning Board, the Zoning Board, and has been circulated to the County, neighboring communities and has been available to the public in an effort to get comments on it. There were very few comments made and the Planning Board has made a recommendation to the Village Board that this map be adopted. An extra step was taken and an Environmental Assessment Form has been prepared — even though it was not required. Trustee Zuckerman asked what would occur if a property owner discovered that the zoning map does not reflect the actual condition on his property. Mr. Miller noted that the remedy here would be for the property owner to demonstrate that the property was in a certain zoning district. -However, every zoning change that has occurred in the Village, was done by an act of local law and is believed to be reflected on the current map. The property owner would have to provide documentation. It is important to note that the intention of the new map was not to change the zoning. Trustee Herman asked for an explanation of an approved conservation subdivision and a PUD. Mr. Miller noted that the approved conservation subdivision, also referred to as a cluster subdivision, allows modification to the zoning requirements provided that the total amount of development is not exceeded by what the existing zoning permits(one example is Talcott Woods). The PUD development is an actual change in zoning. There are three such PUD's in the Village:Belle Fair, Arrowwood, and the Arbors. These are zoning districts that are regulated by an entirely different set of rules. They allow for a mixed use and higher density development, whereas a conservation subdivision just allows for residences. Floyd Caplan, Chairman of the Planning Board, suggested that major access roads be identified on the map. Mr. Miller stated that this could easily be accomplished. Trustee Zuckerman asked that a different color be used to denote the streets as red and green have already been used. Trustee Degling asked if the re-alignment of the Hutch would be included on this map. Mr.Miller responded that it could be,when completed and when the Village has been given the final plans. Trustee Degling asked if it would be appropriate to amend the map, to bring it up-to-date, at a later date. Mr. Miller stated that it would be. Joanne Henrick, a resident of Winding Wood Road, asked the purpose of the map. Mr. Miller stated that it shows the different districts and types of uses. Trustee Degling suggested that it be looked at as an index to the zoning code and districts. 2 a Mr.Miller noted that the date incorporated in the local law of October 8 should be corrected to read November 18, 1999. On a motion made by Trustee Brackman, and seconded by Trustee Degling, the hearing was adjourned to the next meeting. There being no further discussion, Mr. Charles Peretz called the roll: Trustee Brackman Voting Aye Trustee Degling Voting Aye Trustee Herman Voting Aye Trustee Zuckerman Voting Aye Mayor Filipowski Voting Aye Mayor Filipowski called for the next item on the agenda: RESOLUTIONS: 2. AUTHORIZING THE PAYMENT OF RETAINAGE TO ETRE ASSOCIATES FOR WORK COMPLETED ON THE RYE HILLS REHABILITATION PROJECT. Mr. Ken Powell read the following Resolution: WHEREAS, the Village of Rye Brook had budgeted monies for the Rye Hills Rehabilitation project in budget year 1998-1999; and WHEREAS, the project was completed by Etre Associates in October of 1998, to the satisfaction of the Village; and WHEREAS, the contract stipulates that upon successful completion of the project the retainage shall be paid NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,that the Village of Rye Brook shall pay the retainage in the amount of $9,300 to Etre Associates for the contract work performed in the rehabilitation of Rye Hills Park.
