CZMC found the proposal to be consistent with the policies in the Local Waterfront
Revitalization Program. However, CZMC suggests that it is unnecessary to use
infiltrators solely for the control of stormwater discharges from the site because the
property is located directly on the shore of the Long Island Sound, where there is little
concern that these discharges will impact flooding. In addition, the applicant is reducing
the total amount of impervious surface on the property from±8,802 to ±8,108 for a total
reduction of approximately 694 sq. ft. Instead, it is recommended that the applicant
provide for stormwater quality control, using a pretreatment system that includes a plan
for the inspection and maintenance of this system. Per the Commission's suggestion, the
applicant has revised the stormwater site plan to show a total of 8 infiltration chambers
for pre-treatment of stormwater and has prepared a stormwater control maintenance plan
for the site.
3. Wetlands and Watercourses Permit: 16 York Road—Construction of a new 2-car
garage, family room and stormwater system.
Referred by the Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board
Michael Fairweather presented the proposal for the construction of an addition to his
single-family house and the installation of a stormwater system within 100-feet of the
Sheldrake River.
CZMC found the proposal to be consistent with the policies in the Local Waterfront
Revitalization Program. However, if it is possible, the infiltrators should be located in an
area outside the flood zone and closer to the house. In addition, they recommend that an
inspection and maintenance plan be prepared.
4. Stormwater Management Policies Discussion
CZMC members briefly discussed the need for the Town and the Village to update the
stormwater management regulations and will continue this discussion at the next meeting.
5. Old Business
CZMC members briefly discussed the benefits of updating the LWRP and will continue
this discussion at its next meeting.
6. New Business
No old business to discuss.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:08 p.m.
