CONVENE MEETING The Meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Mayor Filipowski in the Posillipo Center and the Pledge of Allegiance followed. The following members of the Board of Trustees were present: Mayor Francis L. Filipowski Trustee Jody H. Brackman Trustee Donald E. Degling Trustee Roger Herman Trustee Gary J. Zuckerman Village Staff attending the meeting were: Village Administrator, Christopher J. Russo Village Attorney, Kenneth E. Powell Assistant to the Administrator, Richard C. Slingerland Village Engineer, Victor Carosi, P.E. Paula Patafio, Meeting Secretary Mayor Filipowski thanked Mr. Ken Berman for his assistance in the Rye Brook Birthday celebration that was held on Saturday, June 19th. • PRESENTATION BY THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION RE: THE HUTCHINSON RIVER PARKWAY RE: CONSTRUCTION. Mayor Filipowski announced that the first item on this evening's agenda was a presentation by the New York State Department of Transportation regarding the Hutchinson River Parkway re: construction. Mr. Russo introduced Mr. John LiMarzi, P.E., Civil Engineer, New York State Department of Transportation -- the Engineer in charge of our region. Also in attendance were Mr. Boris L. Vays, Project Engineer in Charge of this particular project and Mr. Walter K. Greenwood of Boswell Engineering, consultants to the NYSDOT. The New York State Department of Transportation exhibited plans for the Board and members of the public to review. Mr. LiMarzi stated that he was with the Division that is actually in charge of the construction project. They would maintain an office in Port Chester and members of the public are welcomed to call with questions. The phone number for the office is 914-939-4937. He provided a review of the project. He explained that this project is an A+B project with an incentive/disincentive type contract, which gives the contractor an incentive to try and move quicker. It was designed calculating 800 days which would make it completed about September of 2001. The contractor bid 498 which would make it completed about December of 2000. He is trying to shave a June 22, 1999 year off the project. If he gets an incentive of up to 80 days at $10,000 a day then he would try to shave days off of that. What that means is work would start all at once. There would be activities all over the roadway and on the drainage. There would be things going on every where. Work should actually be started by the end of July, starting with clearing. The hours would be from about 6:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., six days a week. There would be restrictions for traffic and there would be some delays. Mr. LiMarzi explained that the current parkway is two lanes with no shoulders and an old metal guard rail. They would make it two lanes with a 6' left shoulder and an 8' right shoulder, which would help the water flow off the road, and a concrete medium barrier down the middle of the road. Three noise walls would be constructed. One noise wall would screen Winding Wood Road, the second Meadow Lark and the third Country Ridge Drive. The noise wall would be one of the first things that they would work on, but all construction would start at the same time. He presented samples of what the wall would look like. There would be a decorative fence and barrier on North Ridge Street to block the view of the parkway. All construction would be done on the right of way. If anyone feels that we are on their property, please call and it would be looked into. The bridges on Lincoln Avenue and Purchase Street will be widened to carry the extra width of the road. The Ridge Street Bridge will be demolished and a new bridge would be built. It would have the same look that it does now. A temporary bridge will be built. Very little night work would be done. The Village would be informed when night work would occur. The existing paving would be hit with a big hammer and it would be very noisy for about one week. There would also be blasting near North Ridge Street. A Geologist and licensed blaster would be on the site. A pre-blast survey has already been completed where they have collected baseline data. Residents would feel the vibrations. A whistle would sound before the blast occurs. If anyone feels that damage has been caused by the blasting, please call the office and someone would be sent down to do an inspection. Another point of interest is Glenville Road, near the Blind Brook School. The existing driveway would be one way in, and an additional driveway would be constructed. Much of the construction would not impact the school. There would be new signalization installed. An environmental issue is the building of new wetlands. Erosion control would be in place. In case of emergency vehicles needing access the DOT personnel are experienced and would assist in moving an ambulance or police car through. Trustee Degling noted that the drawings of the King Street interchange shows three traffic signals. He asked if these were still in the plan. Mr. LiMarzi responded that these have been removed from the plans. The only two signals would be at the Arbors and Glenville Road, Trustee Degling asked what could be done to have these signals put back. Mr. LiMarzi stated if Rye Brook feels that these signals are necessary they should contact the Regional Director or State Assembly person and present a case. Trustee Zuckerman questioned a no right turn from the Blind Brook driveway. Mr. LiMarzi stated that it would be an option. The school would have the option of closing the existing driveway or leaving it open. 2 June 22, 1999 Trustee Zuckerman asked if both lanes of traffic would remain open during the work on the Ridge Street overpass. Mr. LiMarzi stated that there would be times when a lane would have to be shut down, but for the most part both lanes would be flowing. Trustee Zuckerman reminded Mr. LiMarzi that school buses would be using that section of the roadways. Trustee Zuckerman noted that this would be an excellent opportunity to widen Ridge Street as it is a county Road. He asked if there was a possibility of doing something in this area. Mr. LiMarzi suggested speaking with Westchester County. There have been a number of changes to the plans. It was noted that all construction on King Street on the Greenwich side has been removed. In the original plan the wider lanes and shoulders were to be extended up under the bridge to tie into the newer section in Greenwich. In this regard Mr. Michael Tedesco of 20 Glen Ridge Road, Greenwich, President of the King Street Area Homeowners Association, said they are attempting to curb some of the construction of the intersection of King Street and the Merritt Parkway. Mr. Monroe Haas, 15 Lawridge Drive, member of the Board of Education addressed the Board. He stated that there was a need for a traffic light at the Ridge Street/King Street intersection. Mr. Haas noted that the Bridge at North Ridge Street is a very important issue for the school district. It is easy to stay that you would try to do it but the time from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. is vital time. The busing services use this bridge. Any delays would cause school to be late. He asked that they be sure to have greater flexibility at those particular times. A third request is with regard blasting. . There needs to be communication between the blasters and the school administrators. The children need to be prepared for the blasting. Mr. LiMarzi noted three things that are very important to the DOT. They are safety including the workers on the site and people around the site, maintenance and protection of traffic, and the environment. Sgt. John Suppa from the Port Chester police department noted that several months ago he heard from the State that they were going to start milling and re-surfacing King Street from Putnam Avenue to the Bridge. This project is scheduled for the same time frame as the Hutch. Mr. Russo responded that this is the normal maintenance division and they have informed him that they would like to do this at night. Port Chester has told Rye Brook that they have given them permission to work at night. Mr. Russo asked how this maintenance work would impact the work on the interchange. Mr. LiMarzi stated that it should have no impact. This was an annual repaving work that is scheduled to be done. Trustee Brackman asked for information regarding the sidewalks on Ridge Street, Mr. LiMarzi stated that they would be installing sidewalks only around the bridges. When King Street was part of the project they had intended on installing some sidewalks but now that part of the project is dead. Trustee Brackman stressed that Ridge Street, King Street and Betsy Brown are heavily traveled roads and used for access to the schools. It is important to keep traffic flowing in this area. She was worried 3 June 22, 1999 about the simultaneous project being done and the impact that would result from it. Most of the children who attend local schools are driven in and there are a lot of cars. Mr. LiMarzi stated that they would carefully monitor the traffic especially during the busing hours. Mrs. Mary Bellantoni, of North Ridge Street, questioned the configuration of the King Street exit where people cut across two lanes of traffic to make a left turn. The left turn lane needs to be longer as it backs traffic onto the highway. She also questioned the raising of the Ridge Street Bridge and if in front of her home, she would have step down onto her property. Mr. LiMarzi noted that it would not affect her property. Mr. Peter Rader, of Valley Terrace, raised some questions concerning the Ridge Street bridge. He noted that the left hand turns make this area a nightmare. Since the bridge was being widened was a turning lane being provided for? Concerning the temporary structure of the Ridge Street bridge he asked that this be in place by Labor Day, before school begins, to minimize the effect on traffic. He noted that he makes the turn from Ridge Street to King Street and is critical to have a traffic light installed there. Mr. LiMarzi noted that the temporary bridge should be relatively unnoticeable. You'll be going over the old bridge and then one day you'll be going over the new one. The DOT is not against the traffic signal on Ridge Street, but they are not in the plans. Mr. Ronald D. Fruman of Shady Lane in Greenwich, Connecticut stated that he does not have an objection regarding a light at North Ridge and King. His association was never afforded the opportunity to have a discussion regarding these issues with DOT. They were given a"take it or leave it" plan The Connecticut residents are more than willing to discuss this. Mayor Filipowski suggested comparing notes regarding who the people in Connecticut have been contacting. He noted that the exit on the northbound side is a very tight turn and warrants being looked at. He also asked what signage would be put in place. Mr. LiMarzi stated that they would be willing to work with the Village on issues of signage. Mr. Steve Epstein of 233 Country Ridge Drive thanked the Village for listening to the concerns of the residents who abut the Hutchinson River Parkway. He noted that he has many concerns, such as the blasting, cracking and seeding. Mr. LiMarzi noted that the cracking and seeding lasts about two weeks. The blasting would take place only between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Mr. Epstein asked if any tree removal would have to be done in order to install the noise wall and if so if they would be replaced. Mr. LiMarzi noted that they would keep the clearing to a minimum and that there is no landscaping scheduled for this project. The reason is that on a job this size changes happen and when landscaping is designed into this project, it ends up being redone. Towards the end of the project the landscape crew would come out and prepare that contract.. Mrs. Epstein stated that she has a seven month old baby and asked how the residents would be informed about the blasting. Mr. LiMarzi stated that they would be warned one to three weeks prior and that a whistle would sound before the blasting. The dynamite is set off in patterns and it is really a series of little blasts. 4 June 22, 1999 Mr. Tedesco noted that in the spirit of cooperation this is not Connecticut against New York but rather a residents' matter. He asked why was there not a provision for access when you are coming southbound on King Street to go northbound on the Hutchinson Parkway and why was there not a provision to elongate the access ramp on Ridge Street to alleviate the problems on King Street. Mr. LiMarzi stated that these are issue to take up with the Regional Director. Mayor Filipowski asked how the explosives would be stored. Mr. LiMarzi stated that they would be delivered daily. If anything is left over it would be stored in heavy steel lockers. The company who sells the dynamite has it registered in the county and they keep track of it. Additionally, the blasting caps are very carefully handled. The trucks carrying the dynamite are licensed to travel any road. The dynamite is very stable. The blasting caps are with the driver for safety purposes. Mayor Filipowski thank Mr. LiMarzi for his presentation. He reiterated that the Village would try its best to have traffic lights installed. A request was made for the traffic light and the change of ingress and egress at Blind Brook School to be first in the scheme of things. If there are any other issues the Board of Education should let the DOT know immediately. At this point, the State's representatives completed their presentation and the Board moved to the other items on the agenda. RESOLUTIONS: 1.

CONSIDERING THE SITE PLAN AND SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICATION BY RING ST. NURSING HOME. Mr. Russo read the resolution. Trustee Zuckerman expressed his opposition and explained that the applicant has, over the years, received tax deductions in his real estate tax, referring to the application before the Board as a favor. He felt that this issue should be looked at. Mayor Filipowski felt that this was not the appropriate forum for that discussion. 7 June 22, 1999 Trustee Brackman noted that the granting of a permit is not a favor, nor is the lowering of tax assessment. Trustee Zuckerman stated that the system needed to be changed. Mr. Monroe Haas, of the Blind Brook School Board, asked what the appropriate forum for this issue would be. It was noted that assessments had eroded tremendously over the years. Mayor Filipowski stated that he could look into this issue with the proper people.
