The following members of the Board of Trustees were present: Mayor Salvatore M. Cresenzi Trustee Joseph Pellino Trustee Eugene R. Strum Trustee Nancy Stein Tunis 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 Secretary to the Village Board Lisa B. Marinaccio Village Treasurer Joseph Cortese Christian Miller, Village Planning Consultant, F.P. Clark PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. RECONVENING A PUBLIC HEARING FROM MAY 13 1997 ON THE HIGH POINT VILLAGE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND LOCAL LAW INTRO. 97- 1997 REVISING THE "PUD" ZONE TEXT TO PERMIT SENIOR LIVING FACILITIES AS A PERMITTED USE AND REVISING "PUD" BUFFER AREA AND PARKING REQUIREMENTS: 2. RECONVENING A PUBLIC HEARING ON LOCAL LAW INTRO. #8 - 1997 TO AMEND THE VILLAGE'S ZONING MAP TO REZONE THE HIGH POINT PROPERTY FROM OBI CAMPUS/OFFICE BUILDING TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE "PUD" CONCEPT PLAN: Anthony Veneziano spoke on behalf of the applicant and asked the Board to procedurally open the public hearings and adjourn them to a future date. He said that he had reviewed comments from the Planning Board, the Village Board, and other agencies. He said that the purpose of the public hearings was to make final efforts to mitigate significant issues. He said that they have showed significant commitment to the project and have continued to work with the community. Kevin McManus, PE, of Spectrum Group Ltd. said that they maintained the quality and characteristics of the original plan while making some changes in response to concerns that were raised. The four following areas were improved upon: decreased impacts on wetlands, decreased amount of earth work, relocation of all buildings outside of the runway protection zone, and the provision of more useable park land to the Village. By shifting the entrance road in a northerly direction on King Street by 600 ft. and June 23, 1997 006451 elongating the road, the amount of earth work would be decreased. Also, minor changes were made in the alignment of intersections to decrease site excavation. No material would have to be removed or brought into the site to make the final grades. Mr. McManus said that they were originally going to relocate the entrance and units with the proposed berm. However, the berm was no longer proposed because water run-off was decreased 25% due to the road relocation. The storm water treatment facility would also be vegetated with wetland vegetation to fit in with the environment. Tree cutting would be selective and a berm would be installed where trees could be maintained. The boundary buffer along Royal Executive Park was decreased by 50 ft. while the buffer along the rear by SUNY Purchase was increased. The total buffer acreage would be 37 acres which clearly meets and exceeds the 34 acre buffer requirement by the PUD zone. Mr. McManus also said that the office building would be removed and any units inside the runway protection zone would be relocated. The complete removal of the office building would decrease traffic in the area. Mr. McManus pointed out on the map "Parcel A" of land which was 21 acres with 18.5 acres of upland. "Parcel B" was 8.1 acres of wetland with 3.5 acres of upland. Trustee Strum asked about traffic impacts by Sherwood Ave. in Connecticut. Mr. McManus said that by shifting the roads, the traffic impacts would diminish. Trustee Strum also asked about emergency access -- he knew that there was access to Lincoln Ave. but asked if there was one through Royal Executive Park. Mr. Veneziano said that another emergency access was not necessary. Trustee Strum also asked if the senior citizen service road stopped at the senior citizen complex or went through the property. Mr. McManus said that it went through. Mr. Veneziano added that this service access road would probably be gated in order to control access to the road. Trustee Pellino said that the new plan appeared to have resolved the buffer issue on King Street. He asked about the request to have the senior living facilities at a height of 45 ft. which is above the 30 ft. village code limit. Mr. Veneziano said that the building had been scaled down to a height of 37 ft. and that they would try to work with the grades to arrive at a comfortable height. Trustee Pellino said he was concerned about the visual impact to the area because of the height. Jane Horowitz of 15 Sleepy Hollow Road asked about the number of units, what kind they would be, and the lot size. Mr. Veneziano said that there would be 168 senior citizen units and a total of 437 units. The units would be single family units and duplexes with lots ranging from 4,500 sq. ft. to 10,000 sq. ft. Jane Horowitz was concerned about the impact on the schools. Mayor Cresenzi said that the impacts would be low but that the issue would be open for public comment after the FEIS was accepted. Mr. Veneziano said that they were going to submit the FEIS next week and would be working with and keeping in contact with F. P. Clark& Associates. The Village's responsibility was to send out a notice of completion of the FEIS once they felt that it was complete. Then they would vote on the zone text and zone map. Mr. Veneziano felt that the changes were beneficial and addressed the concerns that were raised. On the motion of Trustee Pellino, seconded by Trustee Strum, the Board unanimously voted to adjourn the public hearing until the first meeting in August which would be August 12, 1997.

SUPPORTING AN EXTENSION OF THE WESTCHESTER COUNTY LOCAL SALES TAX a.k.a. THE NEW YORK STATE 1991 PROPERTY TAX STABILIZATION AND RELIEF ACT: 4 June 23, 1997 0064,54 Trustee Strum explained that he would not support this resolution. He said that it lacked information on the incidence of sales tax in Rye Brook and outside of Rye Brook. He also said that property tax could receive federal and state subsidy because of its tax deductibility. He felt that it may put a greater burden on residents than if property taxes were increased. He also felt it allowed municipalities to spend money without directly taxing people which lost accountability. Mayor Cresenzi said that Rye Brook has an accountability that others don't have. He said that he didn't like the resolution but that it had to be put in place in order for Rye Brook to re-gain some of the money that it had lost through tax certiorari. Trustee Pellino said that he supported the resolution but that he didn't see the original intent of the Tax Stabilization Relief Act in it. He said that the purpose was to replenish funds taken from municipalities and school districts b decreased state aid or revenue sharing. It saves municipalities from increasing Y g P property taxes or from cutting services. Trustee Strum said that sales taxes increase to have revenue and that sales tax doesn't get federal tax deductions because it's not subsidized. He felt that residents would pay more than if property taxes were increased because property taxes are deductible from income taxes and sales taxes are not deductible. Trustee Zuckerman said that increased property taxes would impact the school whose tax rate would increase more than the Village's. On the motion of Trustee Zuckerman, seconded by Trustee Pellino, the following resolution was hereby adopted: RESOLUTION SUPPORTING AN EXTENSION OF THE WESTCHESTER COUNTY LOCAL SALES TAX a.k.a. THE 1991 PROPERTY TAX STABILIZATION AND RELIEF ACT WHEREAS, the Village of Rye Brook, like other municipalities in Westchester County, faces a restricted revenue base to fund basic municipal services; and WHEREAS, the Village of Rye Brook, like a majority of municipalities in Westchester County and in the surrounding New York Metropolitan Region, has lost a large portion of our assessables -- a total of about $16 million -- over the past ten years due to tax certiorari challenges; and WHEREAS, since real property taxes are the main source of revenue for municipalities, property owners are saddled with a burden for municipal services with few or no alternative revenue sources in sight; and WHEREAS, the County Executive and the County Board of Legislators have advocated and approved the distribution of sales tax revenue to the cities, towns, villages and school districts in Westchester County in accordance with Chapter 272 of the Laws of 1991; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT 5 006451;& June 23, 1997 RESOLVED, that the Village of Rye Brook hereby requests our State representatives Assemblyman Ronald Tocci and Senator Suzi Oppenheimer to support a two-year extension of Article 29, Section 1262-b of the Tax Law, entitled "1991 Property Tax Stabilization and Relief Act," which currently has a sunset provision of May 31, 1998; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that by copy of this resolution we urge our New York State representatives to support the immediate extension of the 1991 Property Tax Stabilization and Relief Act.

STEVEN GIAMUNDO CHAIRMAN• PORT CHESTER RYE BROOK, TOWN OF RYE INDEPENDENCE DAY OBSERVANCE COMMITTEE ANNOUNCING THE COMMITTEE'S INTENTION TO PRESENT AN AMERICAN FLAG TO THE VILLAGE OF RYE BROOK AT THE 1997 INDEPENDENCE DAY FESTIVITIES AT PORT CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL: Mr. Russo read Steven Giamundo's letter. Mayor Cresenzi said that he would be in Gettysburg, PA at that time. Mayor Cresenzi asked Trustee Pellino if he would go in his place and he said that he would. Corpus Christi also asked the Board if they could put up their sign for the Corpus Christi Carnival. The Board agreed that it would be okay for the sign to be put up as long as it conformed to the sign law. DISCUSSION: 7 June 23, 1997 00645,1 10. REGARDING THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF BLIND BROOK ESTATES ON KING STREET: Peter Murray said there were two notations on the resolution. The first was paragraph six which stated that there had to be a note on the map showing the pendency of the litigation. The second was paragraph seven which stated that the Mayor was unauthorized to sign the map until the litigation was completed. He then asked to have an amendment to the resolution allowing him to build only two houses, one on lot two and one on lot four. If he won the law suit, he would build another two houses and build a road to the specifications for public roads which would be dedicated to the Village. Ken Powell believed that his proposal was an entirely new subdivision application because Mr. Murray was essentially changing the plan. He said that the two houses instead of four and the different road were too different to keep with the original plan. Mr. Murray said he could build a common driveway for the two houses instead of a road. This change would create less impacts. Ken Powell said that the impacts were so significantly different that they represented a new application. Trustee Strum said that there was existing approval for four lots. He asked if there was a restriction because of the law suit preventing Mr. Murray from building and paving the driveway. Ken Powell said that there were some restriction on building permits and certificates of occupancy. He also said that a road with a cul-de-sac with two houses was not at all practical. Mayor Cresenzi said that the current plan is a parcel of land subdivided into four lots with a road and a cul-de-sac. He said Mr. Murray could build two houses and retain ownership of the other two lots. Ken Powell disagreed and said that changing from a public to a private road was a large change that would impact the surrounding property owners. Christian Miller said that the Board couldn't dismiss the potential impacts such as the drainage issue. He added that the applicant was bound by four lots with a road. Trustee Zuckerman agreed and said that the plan was different because of substantial changes such as changing from a roadway to a driveway. He said that the approval of alternative plans was a possibility. Peter Murray said that he intended to develop the approved subdivision. However, he said that there was no requirement on the number of houses that he could build. He acknowledged their legitimate concerns but said that he wanted to build the two houses and accept responsibility for his decision. He added that he would build the other two houses if the court let him and then dedicate the road to the Village. Trustee Strum questioned the change from a driveway to a cul-de-sac. Mr. Murray said that it could be done and an improvement could be made at a later date. Christian Miller said that was a temporary modification, but an application of two lots was different. Mayor Cresenzi said that the Village could not tell him how many houses to build. He added that 8 June 23, 1997 006458 retaining ownership of the additional land did not call for a new subdivision application. Mr. Miller agreed that the Village could not tell Mr. Murray how many houses to build. Ken Powell said that Mr. Murray had asked for changes on the map. He asked the Board if they wanted to review the changes. He also asked the Board if there would be frontage to the lots if a road was not built. He recommended that the Board do some level of review. Mayor Cresenzi said that the resolution stated that he had to be successful in court to have the map signed. He asked the Board if they wanted to send the application back to the Planning Board. He also recommended that some direction be given to the Planning Board. Trustee Pellino said that Mr. Murray was willing to make an investment of a four lot subdivision. He asked if the temporary road would stay if Mr. Murray lost the law suit. He also said that lot 2 would never have driveway access. Ken Powell said that he didn't see any legal impact on the Village. He said that there was a temporary restraining order that was vacated. The restraining order stated that no construction could be done while the case was pending in court. He said that should be checked out further. Peter Murray said that the restriction permits that he could build two houses. He said that he didn't have a problem with a review. He added that he wanted to preserve his right to build up to four houses. He also said that he would rather not send the application back to the Planning Board. Trustee Zuckerman said that he would like to see a two house subdivision or a four house subdivision. He said that Mr. Murray should submit the proper plan for a two house subdivision. Trustee Tunis asked how the Village could prevent Mr. Murray from building two houses. Mayor Cresenzi said that the application should go back to the Planning Board, Peter Murray said that they could strike paragraph seven and add a paragraph that stated that if the applicant was unable to build four houses, Rye Brook would not have to accept the road and improvements for dedication. Mayor Cresenzi asked the Board what they would like to do. Trustee Zuckerman said that the developer should look at the issues and come up with a plan. He added that they should wait for a resolution of the law suit. Mayor Cresenzi told Mr. Murray that he needed to put together a plan and to make sure that he addressed the frontage issue. Mayor Cresenzi announced the next meeting dates. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Christopher J.
