DISCUSSION RE: SCREENING AT FIREHOUSE Administrator Altieri stated that requests have been received from residents of Hillcrest Avenue concerning the possibility of installing screening around the Fire Depart- ment parking lot and he stated that since no funds were available in the 1986 Budget for any screening expense, it would have to be approved by the Town Board as well as the Fire Commissioners. Councilwoman Silverstone recommended the screening and stated that in her opinion it would be very attractive. Chief Albert stated that there were several illegally parked cars in the lot and that they were there without permission. He also stated that he thought the trees would be an enhancement to the community but that he would also like to have a "Na Thru Traffic" sign installed at the entrance to the parking lot. Mr. Arthur Zanko of Hillcrest Avenue suggested that the Chief pursue those who park in the lot illegally and that a request for screening should have nothing to do with cars parking there. Thereafter, on motion by Coimussioner Lerman, seconded by Commissioner Silverstone, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Board of Fire Commissioners does hereby authorize that $1,000 be allocated towards the purchase of screening for the weaver Street Firehouse.

He stated that it was basically a plagiarism of the Village of Larchmont's ordinance but that Section 4 placed time limitations on various types of equipment that is used. At this time, on motion by Councilman Lerman, seconded by Councilman Amlicke, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and it hereby is, declared open. The Deputy Town Clerk presented Affidavits of Publication and Posting of the Notice of Hearing. Gail Gerardi, 805 Weaver Street, stated that it was a welcomed ordinance because she resides near Bonnie Briar Golf Club and that the garbage trucks started collecting there as early as 5:30 A.M. and that the golf carts made excessive noise also. Betty Hill, of Weaver Street, also stated that garbage is collected from her area around 5:40 A.M., including Saturdays. Mr. Edward F.X. Ryan, of 32 West Garden Road, said he thought it was an excellent ordinance because, in his opinion, noise has come to crisis proportions. Mrs. Bea Powers questioned the Town's policy on garbage collection hours and Supervisor Battalia stated that the starting times would be looked into. Councilman Amlicke stated that he would like to receive a report from the Superintendent of the Joint Sanitation Commission indicating how he intended to enforce the starting time of the Sanitation Department of 7:00 A.M. to which Supervisor Battalia stated that the working hours could not be changed to have them start later because a union contract was in effect and that one of the reasons they started early was so they could to get to the recovery plant before it closed. Mr. Ryan added that air traffic also created a lot of noise pollution to which Councilman Lerman stated that the CZ MC -- addressed the issue but that it is regulated by the Federal Government and the Town does not have the ability to effectuate that kind of change. Mark Jacoby, 5 Durham Road, stated that he was opposed to the idea that the Town would be exempt from the proposed noise ordinance and Attorney Silverberg explained that the Town was exempt in order to perform its municipal functions such as snow removal. - 4 - September 17, 1986 Ms. Patricia Latona questioned why a whistle blew every morning at 8:00 A.M. on Maxwell Avenue to which Supervisor Battalia replied that it was just a test being performed by the Fire Department. Councilman Chapin stated he was not in favor of the — restrictions the proposed ordinance placed on gardening equipment, whereas Councilman Lerman recommended its adoption and then amending it with Councilwoman Silverstone being in agreement. However, Councilman Amlicke stated he would prefer that the proposed ordinance be amended first. At this time, since a decision could not be reached, on motion by Councilwoman Silverstone, seconded by Councilman Amlicke, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and it hereby is, declared adjourned. Supervisor Battalia stated that Attorney Silverberg had suggested amending Chapter 51 of the Town Code and, on motion by Councilman Amlicke, seconded by Councilman Chapin, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that a Public Hearing be held on October 1, 1986 to discuss amendments to Chapter 51 of the Mamaroneck Town Code: Noise Regulation. Thereafter, on motion by Councilman Amlicke, seconded by Councilman Chapin, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Proposed Local Law amending the Noise Ordinance of the Town of Mamaroneck not be adopted. PRESENTATION - ICE RINK COMMITTEE Mr. Dom Ruggiero, Chairman of the Hommocks Ice Rink Committee, introduced Mr. Warren Bendixen who then reported on the existing conditions of the ice rink facility, the flaws in the present construction, the potential problems, and the feasibility of constructing a new rink. Mr. Bendixen informed the Board of the following approaches regarding what could be done with the present facility: 1. Do nothing -- in essence, just maintain existing building and equipment and upgrade slab in order to bring it up to a safe level. - 5 - September 17, 1986 2. Repair and rehabilitate existing facility at a cost of approximately $337,000. Improvements would make the facility more usable and increase the lifespan of existing equipment and safety hazards could be eliminated. 3. Provide a staged construction towards ultimate project development starting with the installation of pile foundations for slab support and future building additions. 4. Construct a full-service, year-round facility at an approximate cost of $3,000,000. i When questioned as to how long he thought the present bubble on the ice rink might last, Superintendent of Recreation, William Zimmermann, stated that perhaps until 1989 but that it has already outlived its life expectancy. Pass. Marks, a local resident, pleaded that a multi-use building be constructed for the children of the area and requested that the Board give some serious thought to making it a community facility. Mrs. Wexler, also a local resident, added that a community center would provide the children with a place to go and Mr. Ed Ryan, of 32 West Garden Road, also stated that he was in favor of it. Pis. Maureen King, of the Town of Mamaroneck, requested the Board not to think of the issue as just "Save the Ice" but rather the giving of a true recreational facility to the children of the community and she stated that she felt strongly about the Villages of Larchmont and Mamaroneck addressing the issue as well because, in her opinion, this was a fractured community and there was a need of a centralized community center. After further discussion, Supervisor Battalia stated that this matter would be placed on the agenda for the October lst meeting in order for the area children to be present to voice their enthusiasm for this project. i PROCLAMATION - DAR Supervisor Battalia stated that next week was declared as Constitution Week, and on motion by Councilman Amlicke, seconded by Councilman Lerman, it was unanimously resolved, that the following Proclamation be, and it hereby is, adopted: WHEREAS, it is the privilege and duty of the American People to commemorate the One Hundred Ninety-Seventh Anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America with appropriate ceremonies; and WHEREAS, the Constitution of the United States of America gives us our foundation of freedom and liberty for every citizen, but each generation must also strive to preserve that foundation for itself and for others, so that it is not lost through indifference; and - 6 - September 17, 1986 WHEREAS, the independence granted to the American People to enjoy such freedom and liberty, unknown in most countries, should be celebrated during Constitution Week, September 17th through 23rd, as designated by proclamation of the President of the United States in accordance with Public Law No. 915.
