1. Approval of Minutes
The Minutes of the May 20, 2013 meeting were approved as submitted.
2. Referral, 75 Howell Avenue, Subdivision
Referred by Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board
CZMC was asked by the Planning Board to reconsider its finding of inconsistency for the 75
Howell Avenue subdivision in light of new information that has been received. Prior to the
meeting, Stephen Altieri, the Town Administrator,issued a memo to CZMC. This memo
explained that the Town has a responsibility to repair the "mid-block"drainage system according
to an existing easement. Included with the memo were preliminary drawings and cost estimates
for making these repairs. In addition, the memo explained that stoiniwater from Howell Avenue
did not follow Weaver Street to the Boston Post Road,but rather crossed Weaver Street to
Ferndale and drained to the collection system behind Central School. Further details were also
received about the ongoing expansion of the neighboring home at 67 Howell Avenue. The tennis
court there was being removed to offset the increase in impervious surface created by the addition
to the home. Mr. Altieri attended the meeting to present this update and to answer any questions.

After a review of this information, CZMC now finds the proposed action to be consistent with
Policy 14 which states:
"Activities and development, including the construction or reconstruction of erosion
protection structures, shall be undertaken so that there will be no measurable increase in
erosion or flooding at the site of such activities or development, or at other locations."
CZMC however, still maintains its position that basements should not be peiuiitted if a sump
pump is required to keep them free of water.
3. Town of Mamaroneck/Village of Larchmont LWRP Discussion
CZMC members will continue this discussion at the next meeting.
4. Old Business
No old business to discuss.
5. New Business
Sam Lieber, the owner of 2 Beach Avenue attended the meeting. He updated CZMC on
the status of his application, submitted to the Village Building Department, for the repair
of his seawall damaged by Hurricane Sandy. A referral from the Building Department is
expected next month.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
