approval. Anthony Oliveri P.E. found no problems with the Plat.

3. FCD Mamaroneck LLC.
Andrew Tung presented stating the Town Board approved the referral of the Special Permit
amending the BMUB district to allow for the addition of the extra floor increasing the proposed
building height by 12 feet. Mr. Tung stated the proposed building would remain essentially the
same except for the addition of a middle floor, increasing the number of units to 139; 32 one
bedroom units and 107 two bedroom units for a net increase of 4 apartments.
The Board noted it serves as an advisory board for a special permit in BMUB district and stated
the Town Law requires it to treat this matter like a Site Plan. The Board then referred the matter
to the Fire Department, BAR, Traffic Committee, WCPD and CMZC.
Mr. Tung also discussed the Parking Deck stating that it currently has 77 spaces and the
proposed deck would have 63 spaces on the lower level and 55 on the upper level. The two
parking levels would be separate from each other as the site is too small for any other
configuration. There would be a ramp to the upper deck, and a separate entry at the other end
of the parking lot to the lower deck. Pedestrians would have access from both sides of the
parking areas. The design of the parking lot will mirror the buildings in the neighborhood.
Stephen Altieri stated that the intersection of Myrtle and North Chatsworth will get a new set of
traffic signals as well as a median to slow down and control the flow of traffic. The median will be
6 feet wide with a 6 inch curb and filled with grass and trees.
Lisa Young 14 North Chatsworth questioned the placement of the driveway from the upper level
stating that the existing one is problematic.
John Irving questioned about utilizing the small grassy area near the corner to increase the
number of parking spaces, but Mr. Tung stated it would not increase the number of parking
spaces and the green space is important.
The Board discussed whether or not the matter required a public hearing of the Planning Board

Michelle Luzio (applicant's attorney) presented for Mrs. Kaye. The status of Wesleyan Avenue
and the requirements of the Fire Department are in question. Marilyn Reader, Chair, said she
had a conference call with counsel and clarified that Wesleyan need not be a dedicated street
only an officially mapped street for purposes of subdivision approval and obtaining a building
permit. The Fire Department questioned the placement of the hydrant stating they need one on
the property side of Wesleyan and the street needs to be widened to at least 20 feet to allow for
access of emergency vehicles. The applicant said she is willing to widen Wesleyan Road to 20
feet where it would cross her driveway.
Referred to CZMC July 25th meeting.
John Lyons of 2 Bruce Road questioned the positioning of the drainage pond Mr. Cermele stated
that the pond is more than 20 feet from the property line and would comply with applicable
setback requirements.

something concrete to work with.
