Donald Mazin, the applicant's attorney and Jonathan Villani, the applicant's representative,
addressed the Board.
Mr. Villani stated that since last month they presented to Larchmont Village a site plan
addressing loading and unloading on-site or in the Village. Mr. Mazin stated that the owners
would prefer to use the Village site or somewhere else off site rather than on-site. Mr. Engel
stated that the question is whether they have the ability to load and unload on-site. Mr. Villani
stated that if they present a turning radius a number of things would be required such as a change
to the curb cut and change to parking on Harrison Drive.
Mr. Engel asked for the employee count. Mr. Villani stated that there are 89 in total, 15 off-site
and 48 employees on-site at any one time. Mr. Engel stated that it looks like employees are
parking on Harrison Drive and noted that if there were adequate parking on-site there should be
no employee cars on Harrison and, as such, turning onto the road would not be a problem. Mr.
Villani stated that he will investigate who is parking there. Mr. Villani further stated that
DiCicco's also has parking overflow.
Mr. Papazian asked about the status of the court appearance and Mr. Mazin stated that they
pleaded guilty and paid a fine.
Mr. Wasp stated that a number of items that are required to be shown on the plan such as truck
turning arrows and correction of conflicting notes regarding required aisle width and Town Code
approved signage to delineate employee parking and display parking.. Roof parking is not to be
visable from Palmer Avenue; screening must be shown on the site plan. Lighting and
landscaping plans are required. Mr. Wasp added that if the rear gravel area is to be paved, they
12
would have to return for an amendment to the site plan. Mr. Engel clarified that zoning approval
for the signage is required.
The matter was adjourned to the December planning Board meeting for further consideration .

#4Eand (ii) permanently widen an existing stream crossing over the East Branch of the Sheldrake
River near hole #15E (the "Proposed Action"); and
WHEREAS, the Coastal Zone Management Commission ("CZMC") reviewed the Application
at its meeting on September 23, 2019 and issued a letter to the Planning Board, dated October 1,
2019 (the "CZMC Letter"), which stated that it found the proposed action to be consistent with
the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program ("LWRP"); and
WHEREAS, the following plans were reviewed by the Town Engineer, the Town Environmental
Planner, the Town's Consulting Engineer and the Town Building Inspector (hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Plans":
- Sheet C-200 U.S. Open Site Plan (last revised October 30, 2019)
- Sheet C-202 Enlarged Site Plan—Loc. 5-8 (last revised October 30, 2019)
- Sheet C-400 Existing Conditions Photos
WHEREAS, after publication of notice, a duly noticed public hearing for the Application was held
on September 25, October 17, and November 13, 2019; and
WHEREAS, due to its designation as a part of a "Critical Environmental Area" as defined in
Chapter 92 of the Town Code, the Board determined that the Proposed Action, which otherwise
would have been an unlisted action under New York State Environmental Quality Review Act
("SEQRA"), is a Type 1 action pursuant to the Environmental Quality Review regulations found
in Chapter 92, Article 1 of the Town Code ("MEQR"); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board reviewed Part 1 of the Full Environmental Assessment Form
submitted by the Applicant in support of the application, sought comments from all interested
agencies and, based upon such information, and in consultation with the Town Environmental
Planner, completed Part 2 of the Full Environmental Assessment Form; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with §114-7(D) of the Town Code, the Board has considered the
following:
14
A. all available reports concerning the Proposed Action from other commissions,
including the CZMC, and any Town, County, State and/or Federal agencies, as well as
members of the public;
B. all relevant facts and circumstances pertaining to the Proposed Action, including but
not limited to those presented below and makes the following findings:
a. any potential environmental impact of the Proposed Action:
The Planning Board finds the Proposed Action will not create negative environmental
impacts because there will be no realignment of the stream, minimal disturbance of the
stream channel while widening the stream crossing and all activities will be performed
with appropriate erosion and sediment control practices. The Planning Board further finds
that the composite matting will not create negative environmental impacts because there
will be negligible soil compaction, dust and damage to turf during installation and
removal.
b. the alternatives to the Proposed Action:
The Planning Board finds that widening the stream crossing is necessary to improve access
within the Property, specifically, to allow pedestrians, golf carts, equipment and larger
vehicles to cross over the East Branch of the Sheldrake River and the composite matting is
preferable to any other type of temporary road vehicle access. The Planning Board further
finds that there is no preferable alternative to the Proposed Action.
c. the impact of the Proposed Action on wetland functions and the benefits as set forth
in §114-1 of the Town Code:
The Planning Board finds that there will be no impact to wetland functions or benefits
because there will be no realignment of the stream, minimal disturbance of the stream
channel and all temporary activities within the wetland buffer will be performed with
appropriate erosion and sediment control practices. The Planning Board further finds that
the temporary composite matting will not impact wetland functions.
C. The availability of preferable alternative locations for the Proposed Action on the
subject parcel:
The Planning Board finds that there is no preferable alternative location to the Proposed
Action because the location of the stream and the historic location of the golf holes are
fixed and impacts are minimal.
D. the availability of further technical improvements or safeguards that could feasibly be
added to the proposal;
The Planning Board finds the Proposed Action requires no further technical improvements
because there will be no impact to wetland functions and only minimal and temporary
impact to the wetland buffer and all activities will be performed with appropriate erosion
and sediment control practices. The use of composite matting as a temporary surface is a
technological improvement over alternative surfaces. It creates less soil compaction,
eliminates dust, and creates less damage to the turf during installation and removal.
E. the possibility of avoiding reduction of the wetland's or watercourse's natural capacity to
support desirable biological life, prevent flooding, control sedimentation and/or prevent
erosion, facilitate drainage, and provide recreation and open space;
15
The Planning Board finds that the natural capacity of the Sheldrake River will be unaffected by
the Proposed Action
F. the extent to which the public or private benefit derived from such use may or may not
outweigh or justify the possible degradation of the wetland or watercourse, the interference
with the exercise of other property rights, and the impairment or endangerment of public
health, safety, or welfare:
The Planning Board finds that there are both private and public benefits of widening the stream
crossing. Greater accessibility and more efficient movement within the Property will improve
public safety and access during the US Open and will continue to provide improved access for the
maintenance and use of the Golf Course in the future. The applicant has demonstrated that the
watercourse will be protected from degradation during construction by use of erosion control
measures. The temporary matting will not interfere with the exercise of other property rights, nor
will it impair or endanger public health, safety, or welfare.
WHEREAS, the Planning Board has considered the Application and Plans; comments and
responses to questions by the Applicant and its representatives; the memos, letters, reports and
comments of the Town Engineer, Town Building Inspector, Town Environmental Planner, Town's
Consulting Engineer and CZMC; and has heard and considered the comments of interested
members of the public.

authorization of a determination of non-significance(the"Negative Declaration")dated November
13, 2019, a copy of which will be kept on file with the Building Department.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning Board hereby finds, pursuant to §114-7(E) of

Watercourses Protection Law of the Town of Mamaroneck, as set forth in §114-1 and that the
action to be taken will minimize all adverse effects on such policy to the maximum extent
practicable:
• To preserve, protect and conserve the Town's tidal and freshwater wetlands and
watercourses; to prevent despoliation and destruction; to regulate their use and
development; and to secure the natural benefits of wetlands and watercourses
that is consistent with the general welfare and beneficial economic and social
development of the town; and

meeting. He invited Mr. Spatz to read the letters to the Board, but Mr. Spatz did not do so.
Karen Khor, of 35 Kilmer Road and a member of the Town Sustainability Collaborative, stated
that she would like to see targets for sustainability goals, especially because New York State
approved a climate plan that pledged to eliminate greenhouse gases. She further requested
something to evaluate how they meet their sustainability goals. She emphasized that the US
Open has a global audience and should lead and inspire.
Mr. Engel stated that several of the Sustainability Collaborative recommendations were included
in Exhibit A to the draft resolution but that the Planning Board has to balance things. Mr.
Cermele stated that they are fine with Exhibit A and the applicant will continue to look for ways
to increase their sustainability. Tim Lloyd of the US Open added that there are a lot of elements
in play and that they have a group that does metrics and would welcome support and cooperation
from the Sustainability Collaborative.
Mitch Green, of 6 Meadow Place, another member of the Sustainability Collaborative, thanked
the Town, the Planning Board, the US Open and Winged Foot for their efforts to promote
sustainability. He added that Exhibit A could be strengthened if the USGA would use all paper
products from recycled sources, and if cooking oils would be recycled. Tim Lloyd responded that
they are exploring those options and have reached out to local providers to discuss feasibility.
Mr. Green further stated that there is no commitment to composting and asked if a low fuel
source for the many generators could be used.
The Board discussed the sustainability initiatives in Exhibit A and Mr. Block suggested that the
Applicant should minimize greenhouse gasses as practical.
The use of paper straws was discussed and Tim Lloyd stated that there will be no straws, only
stirrers.
Mr. Cermele stated that there should be a revision made to the draft resolution to reflect that the
structural lumber is to be taken apart and moved to the next location.
Mr. Wasp stated that a safety plan is required.
Public Comments
Andrew Spatz, attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Denis, stated that he appreciates that Lots 1 and 2 are
not on the proposed approved plan. He is concerned about anything that would block the Denis
family from accessing their home or block emergency vehicles in case of an emergency. Darius
Chafizadeh, counsel for Winged Foot, stated that they are working to finalize an agreement. Mr.
Engel stated that the safety of everyone is of utmost importance to the Board and added that the
Board and added that the Board will not be involved in any arrangement between the Denis
family and the Applicant.

vehicles to be utilized in the courtesy fleet. This will be dependent on Lexus fleet resources and
the type of vehicle required for various functions through the championship.
2. Winged Foot and the USGA will seek to maximize the use of electric golf carts in the fleet
used in connection with the championship. Winged Foot will also use as many electric mowers as
is reasonably possible in connection with the championship.
3. The USGA will research options for solar or battery power light towers. If logistically and
financially practical, the USGA will replace generator-powered light towers with solar or battery-
powered light towers.
4. LED lights will be used in all hospitality tents on site, to the extent reasonably possible.
23
5. All generators will meet all relevant emissions codes and regulations. To the extent reasonably
practicable, the USGA will minimize greenhouse gas emissions.
6. All generators will be chosen and positioned on the property to minimize their potential noise
impact on neighbors. Generators will be enclosed in fences with green mesh windscreens and will
be positioned in back-of-house areas hidden by tents and trailers to further diminish noise.
7. Subject to the need to provide adequate hydration to championship attendees, the USGA will
use its best efforts to minimize the number of single-use plastic bottles on site.
8. The USGA will install no fewer than five "hydration stations" which provide free water to
event attendees. These stations will be strategically spaced throughout the golf course so fans have
convenient access throughout the day. In addition, the USGA will install a sufficient number of
"hydration stations" at all public entrances to the property to permit the easy filling of water
containers brought to the event and will install "hydration stations" at all on site locations where
beverage containers are sold or provided without cost.
9. The USGA will provide water bottles to all 4,000+ volunteers and all staff members.
Reusable souvenir water bottles will be available for purchase in the on site merchandise pavilion.
All attendees will be encouraged to bring their own water bottles to the event, which they can then
refill at hydration stations as often as they would like throughout the day. The USGA will
communicate the water bottle policy to fans before the event to further promote the reduction of
water bottles purchased on site.
10. The USGA will work with its ecology vendors and haulers to seek the highest possible
diversion rate for recycling.
11. All plates, cups, bowls, containers, stirrers and napkins provided to fans, staff and on site
volunteers will be made from recycled or compostable materials. The USGA will investigate the
feasibility for local haulers to take compostable materials to a composting plant.

13. The USGA will require its food and beverage providers to use food packaging options which
are able to be recycled or composted to the extent reasonably possible.
14. The USGA will require its food and beverage providers to provide beer, soda and other
beverages sold or served on site to be in aluminum cans, to the extent reasonably possible.
15. The USGA will require its food and beverage providers to source pre-cut meats to minimize
scraps generated on site. All scraps will be disposed of into composting bins, which the haulers
will take to a food-waste processing plant.
16. The USGA will provide composting bins at all kitchens for bulk food waste disposal. The
hauler will take the bins to a food-waste processing plant.
24
17. The USGA will work with an ecology company to set out trash and recycling bins and/or bags
throughout the championship grounds for fans to throw away their waste. The USGA's will
require its ecology vendors to identify and address contamination of recycling containers
throughout the property, to the extent reasonably possible.
18. The USGA will create, erect and maintain appropriately located signage to educate and guide
fans, staff and volunteers as to which items go in which trash or recycling containers.
19. The USGA will work with its food and beverage providers and ecology vendors to maximize
composting and recycling efforts throughout the property.
20. The USGA will ensure that materials will be monitored and disposed of properly to ensure no
contamination into water courses, sanitary or storm sewers.
21. The USGA and its food and beverage providers will seek to donate unused food,to the extent
allowed by the County Department of Health.
22. Fans buying items on site at the merchandise pavilion will be given their purchases either
without bags or in clear plastic bags. The USGA merchandising department has purchased an
allotment of bags which comply with the new law taking effect in 2020. The merchandise bags
will be of a thickness greater than the new minimum and will be made from 100% recycled
material.
23. The USGA shall work with its food and beverage providers to streamline menus which allow
for more bulk purchases of key ingredients and food items and will help reduce food waste
generated on site. Additionally, the food and beverage providers shall use responsible practices
for purchasing (such as bulk orders and pre-cut meats) to reduce the amounts of waste generated
on site.
24. The USGA will collaborate with the Town Administrator, in consultation with the Town
Sustainability Collaborative, to explore opportunities to "up-cycle" difficult-to-recycle containers
such as juice pouches and juice boxes.
25. The USGA will arrange for various materials used for the championship, such as mesh
windscreen, carpet, lumber and live planted materials, to be donated locally upon termination of
the Event rather than sent to a disposal facility.
26. All grandstand, tenting and flooring equipment will be disassembled, stacked and removed
from the site. Lumber not being re-used by USGA or its vendors will be offered as a donation to
the Town.
27. In its marketing materials, the USGA will encourage the use of Metro North rail as a means
of reaching the championship.
28. The USGA will procure most of the landscaping for the Event from local nurseries. The
containers used to transport the landscaping to the site will be returned or recycled. After the
Event, the plantings and other remaiing landscaping materials will be donated to local parks,
schools, etc., as directed by the Town.
25
29. To the extent reasonably feasible, the USGA will retain appropriate companies to recycle
cooking oil used during the Event.
