2. FCD Mamaroneck LLC.—Special Permit
Andrew Tung appeared and addressed the Board. Mr. Tung stated that they met with the BAR 3
times. Mr. Jacobson sent a memo in which he expressed the Board approval in concept for the
parking deck. The driveways are to remain in the same location that they are presently. The roof
of the staircase is to be terra cotta. The brick color would be limited to the two darker shades that
will be on the proposed building on Byron.
Marilyn Reader read the letter from the Fire Department stating they were not opposed to the
increase in elevation of the Forest City Mixed Use Development as they are able to access the roof
from at least two different places.
Marilyn Reader read the letter from the CZMC stating that the proposed action was neither
consistent nor inconsistent with the policies set forth in the LWRP.
The Board discussed the Special Permit and its findings revealed that there was little or nor adverse
impacts on the neighborhood or community and therefore voted as follows:
Poll Board Board Member Yes/No/Abstained
Marilyn S. Reader, Chair Yes
C. Alan Mason Yes
Edmund Papazian Yes
John A. Ortiz Yes
Virginia Picciotto Yes

The Board also found that the four additional apartments do not change the parking ratio and the
project still has the most parking spaces of any other building in the Town.
The building sits at a lower elevation than any other building in the surrounding area therefore it is
not out of scale.
