BOSTON POST ROAD, MAMARONECK, NEW YORK PRESENT: Supervisor Nancy Seligson Councilwoman Abby Katz Councilwoman Jaine Elkind Eney Councilwoman Sabrina Fiddelman Councilman Jeffery L. King ALSO PRESENT: Christina Battalia, Town Clerk Stephen V. Altieri, Town Administrator Connie Green O’Donnell, Assistant Town Administrator William Maker, Jr., Town Attorney CALL TO ORDER - WORK SESSION On motion of Councilwoman Elkind Eney, seconded by Councilwoman Katz, the Work Session was unanimously opened at 5:00PM. Review - Hommocks Kayak Launch Study The Town Board reviewed a report by Reichgott Engineering, contracted by the Town to do a feasibility study. The conclusion of the report and the opinion of Reichgott Engineering “is that locating a Kayak Launch along the Hommocks Park shoreline is technically possible but impractical”. Supervisor Seligson noted that the report determines that it’s impractical because the area has very little water for four hours each tidal cycle at low tide. In fact, at dead low tide, the area has no water and is dry. The area needs to be dredged in order to reclaim a navigable channel. Dredging would be very costly. One way to use the area would be to post signs with tidal information informing kayakers of the conditions. Supervisor Seligson said she would like to look for examples of this kind of usage at other sites. Overall this particular site if chosen would be a long range and extensive project. The Board would like to pursue a Kayak Launch but other areas may need to be considered and researched. Review - 2018 Capital Projects Program The Town Board reviewed the 2018 Capital Project Schedule. Approval of the schedule is on the regular agenda for this evening. The details of the Capital Project Schedule were provided in a report to the Town Board dated November 22, 2017, and reviewed and discussed at previous Town Board worksessions. Review - IMA - Sewer System Improvement Project Supervisor Seligson gave a brief summary of the project for the benefit of the new Town Board members. The Town Board reviewed a memo from Mr. Altieri dated January 19, 2018, also detailing the project, and specifically the second phase of the project. The second phase addresses the agreement with Westchester County that the Consortium make all necessary repairs to the Sanitary Sewer System as identified in the Sewer System Evaluation Study (SSES). The Consortium would like to continue to retain GHD Engineering, who was originally contracted to conduct the SSES, to provide design, construction and grant management. Approval of the Intermunicipal Agreement approving the contract with GHD Engineering is on the regular agenda for this evening. Review - IMA - Sustainable Westchester Supervisor Seligson gave background information and an update. The Town Board was provided with a letter from Sustainable Westchester’s Program Director, Ron Kamen, discussing and outlining Sustainable Westchester’s Clean Transportation Project (SWCTP). The newest aim of the SWCTP is to “secure 1 January 25, 2018 aggregation discounts for more of the 40+ EVs on the market today – and to expand the program to EV and Plug-In-Hybrid EV trucks, busses as well as landscaping equipment.” The Board discussed the details of the Intermunicipal Agreement and moved its approval to the regular agenda this evening as added item number nine. Update - Meeting with School District - Re: Classroom Space Supervisor Seligson spoke of the crisis involving the over population of the School District. She noted the recent public meetings the School District held, adding that the residents’ are very upset and concerned.. Supervisor Seligson noted that she has spoken to some residents who asked that the Town “do something about this”. Supervisor Seligson has responded to these residents and will address this in her Supervisor’s Report this evening and in her upcoming January 2018 E-Newsletter. Additionally, the School Board has asked the Town’s help by using the Town’s distribution list to provide information to the residents. ADDED ITEM – Superior’s Updates Supervisor Seligson announced that she has been appointed Chair of the WJWW Board of Directors, and Co-Chair of Sustainable Westchester. Supervisor Seligson noted that she and Steve Altieri were invited to meet with the owner and attorney for Hampshire Country Club, Dan Pfeffer and Susan Goldberger. Supervisor Seligson stated that it seemed to be the intention of the Club to bring the Town up to date on their proposed development, adding that the Draft Environmental Impact Statement is now before the Village of Mamaroneck Planning Board. Supervisor Seligson and Connie Green O’Donnell met with resident Linda Banta, MHS Director of Special Ed, Director of Special Ed Enhancement Programs and Special Ed Guidance Counselor to discuss possible job internships in the Town for MHS students with disabilities. Supervisor Seligson and Steve Altieri recently met with the Library Finance Committee to discuss the Library Budget, adding that the Library Budget will be sent to the Town Board Members in anticipation of the upcoming joint meeting with the Library Board th of Trustees and the Village of Larchmont Trustees on February 5 beginning at 6:00 PM at Village Hall. Update - 1 - 3 Dillon Road Mr. Altieri updated the Town Board on the closing of the building by the owner. Although damage was located in one half of the building there are issues that have come to light that affect the whole building. There is extensive work to be done on the building and the owner is in the midst of hiring a contractor. Most residents have been successfully relocated, with help from the Town’s Community Services. Mr. Altieri noted that there are discussions taking place with the owners and Westchester County with respect to a change of ownership leading to affordable housing. The Town Board noted that these discussions are very promising. Update - Town Signs - Town Center, VFW, Ice Rink The Town Board reviewed updated renderings for the new Town signage. There were a few minor changes. Update - Town Planning Board Activities Councilwoman Elkind Eney spoke of the proposed teardown on Carleon Avenue that is currently before the Planning Board. The home is currently on a preexisting non-conforming lot so the owner will need a variance to continue. Councilwoman Elkind Eney noted the concern of the Planning Board that the current residential site plan statute does not address all of the potential problems. Discussion has reemerged for the need to review the Floor Area Ratio law, and or a review of contextual zoning. Mr. Maker also updated the Town Board on the Article 78 proceeding regarding Vine Road. 2 January 25, 2018 Discussion - Proposed Legislation - Number of Members - Planning Board The Town Board continued their discussion of reducing the total number of Planning Board Members from seven to five. During previous discussions it was thought that the Town could not make this change until 2019, but additional research finds that the Town can move forward with this change. Review - Proposed Lease Amendment – LMCTV The Town Board reviewed the lease agreement that is on the regular agenda this evening for approval. Mr. Altieri addressed the timing of LMCTV’s planned relocation to the Town Center. LMCTV is currently in the process of making changes to the third floor space. Review - Traffic Committee Recommendations from January 10, 2018 Meeting The Town Board reviewed the Traffic Committee’s recommendation, as well as the Police Department’s, to maintain the speed limit of 25 mph on Murray Avenue, and 20 mph within the school zone. The 20 mph school speed zone would be consistent with the other school in the district. Mr. Maker was asked to draft proposed legislation.

Supervisor Seligson stated that the Town Board has been pursuing this effort for several months by publicizing the position, asking for resumes of interested residents and conducting interviews. The Town Board received seven resumes and met five times to discuss and meet individually with each of the excellent candidates. Supervisor Seligson gave background information on Jeffery L. King, giving highlights of his experience and participation in the community. This evening it is the Town Board’s intention to make a motion for Mr. King’s appointment.

Mr. King was then sworn in to office by Town Clerk Christina Battalia. CITIZEN’S COMMENTS Supervisor Seligson asked if anyone in the audience would like to address the Board. Mr. George Talt, representing Larchmont Gardens Civic Association addressed the Town Board, with questions and comments from the Association. The Town Board and Mr. Altieri responded. Mr. Talt noted that the Association is working with Elizabeth Paul on how the Association can help with tree planting. The Association continues to hope that the Town will strengthen its tree removal laws. Councilwoman Katz noted that she sent the current legislation to George Roniger, who had requested it. The Association encourages homeowners living along the Brook to stop their landscapers from dumping clippings along the Brook. The Association is looking for ways it can participate in Earth Day, and Supervisor Seligson informed Mr. Talt about the cleanup events held by the Town and she will share that with the Association. Mr. Talt asked for an update on the dredging at Gardens Lake, and the pathway around the Lake. This was provided by Mr. Altieri. When the aerators are ready the Association would like to coordinate an event with the Town. Mr. Talt asked for an update on the request for a sidewalk on East Hickory Grove Drive. Mr. Altieri responded that it was not on the Capital project list for 2018. Finally, Mr. Talt noted that residents are wondering what the Town is doing about coyotes. Supervisor Seligson responded that coyotes seem to have become an issue in the community as their natural habitat is diminished by development. The Town has contacted the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and wildlife experts to solicit suggestions. Snare traps were recommended, but they can be inhumane and trap small local animals and domestic pets as well. Physical relocation is another possibility, but is very expensive. . Unfortunately, there is not a simple solution, and residents are encouraged to keep their small animals inside and not to leave any food outside. 4 January 25, 2018 SUPERVISOR’S SUMMARY REPORT There is a lot to report on from the last three weeks. Most recently, we’ve received several phone calls and emails regarding the latest school board meeting and outreach regarding school population. We have been in communication with the school superintendent and school board president for about a year and half on this issue. The school district administration has been very surprised and worried about the increases in school population – none of which were predicted or projected by their advisers and consultants. The Town Board has been sympathetic to the problem and realizes how upsetting it is to residents. As a matter of practice, the Town shares all of its development applications with the school district. There has been no major development in the Town of Mamaroneck in the last ten years other than the Cambium apartment building which is not yet fully occupied. We are working to get the numbers of school children generated by the existing occupied apartments. It seems that much of the increase in school population could be attributed to a transition in housing from empty nesters in large houses to new families. We will stay apprised of the situation and help the school district in any way we can. th There was a fire at 1, 3 Dillon Road January 12 that caused the evacuation of the 40 units in the building. Six people were taken to hospitals with smoke inhalation. The Red Cross set up a shelter at the Senior Center/VFW for affected families. Most people found shelter with friends or family members. The shelter was open for only one night and the people that needed additional help were housed at local hotels for a few nights. The owner has closed the building for repairs, but allowed residents the opportunity to gather belongings. It’s a difficult and sad situation for the residents. I want to thank the TMFD, TMPD and VAC for their emergency and professional response. The fire was knocked down quickly, the injured were transported to hospitals and order was restored. I also want to thank local Red Cross residents Ed Merians and Mary Davis for leading the Red Cross efforts. At the next meeting we will formally recognize three other individuals who were tremendously helpful to the displaced families. We had a pretty big snowstorm the day after our last TB meeting. The schools and Town Center were closed. Thank you to the Town Highway Dept. for their unparalleled job at clearing the streets. Residents really appreciate the Town’s Highway Depts. response to snow storms. I had the opportunity to attend the swearing-in of our new County Executive, George Latimer. It was a happy and hopeful event. I want to thank the Larchmont/Mamaroneck Human Rights Committee for hosting their annual Martin Luther King Jr. event. Charles Blow, NY Times columnist and CNN personality was the speaker at the full Hommocks Auditorium. Sustainable Westchester, the nonprofit membership organization serving municipalities held its annual member meeting. Westchester Power, the community choice aggregation program, provides less expensive and more-green energy to residents is still running strong. The group will focus on new areas of environmental value to municipalities in the coming year. I attended many more events, but will let my colleagues report on them.
